Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Then.....

boom--!

Seeing Serena pass out from a punch, Hope withdrew his hand speechlessly. "You rambled on and on, but you're not even that tough."

Chapter 401 I Can Talk Too

My name is Serena.

Born in a secluded village with a blood feud against the black dragon Acnologia. The villagers' ancestors all perished at the hands of that terrifying, world-destroying dragon.

The obsession with revenge, passed down through generations, has driven this 400-year-old village ever closer to the brink of ruin.

In order to defeat the Black Dragon, they began a crazy experiment—the "God Project".

A Dragon Slayer Mage who only masters one type of Dragon Slayer Magic is no match for the Black Dragon, so he should try to learn several more types of Dragon Slayer Magic.

If one dragon-slaying spell doesn't work, try two; if two don't work, try three; if three don't work, try four...

As long as one knows enough dragon-slaying magic, one day, the "god" who possesses a large number of dragon-slaying spells will destroy the evil "black dragon".

The quickest way to obtain Dragon Slayer Magic is through "Dragon Slayer Crystals." These crystals can not only be used to pass on magic, but they can also be extracted from the bodies of Dragon Slayer Mages for easy transmission to the next generation.

But accommodating multiple types of Dragon Slayer Crystals is no easy task.

For decades after the plan began, the most mages in the village could hold was two Dragon Slayer Crystals.

How can two types of dragon-slaying magic possibly destroy the black dragon?

So even human experiments were brought to the forefront, but the results were not ideal, and the "God Project" thus hit a bottleneck.

More than 30 years ago, Serena was born. His magic and magical talent were the best in the village's 400-year history.

Therefore, it was only natural that Serena was expected to achieve great things by everyone in his hometown from a young age.

And he lived up to expectations, integrating the eight types of Dragon Slayer Crystals collected by the village into his body at the age of twenty-five, achieving a feat that was unprecedented and unlikely to be repeated.

However, upon acquiring this invincible power, the villagers collectively made a decision that shocked Serena.

In fact, the villagers had long realized that the hatred and obsession passed down for hundreds of years had turned their generation into something neither human nor ghost, and that they had even conducted a lot of human experiments in order to complete the "God Project".

In their quest to avenge their ancestors against the black dragon, they embarked on a path of no return.

Now that Serena has gathered eight different types of dragon slaying magic, the villagers speculate that these eight types of dragon slaying magic have a good chance of defeating the black dragon once they are fully developed.

So it's time for them to stop here and face their own sins.

At the villagers' request, Serena destroyed his homeland with his own hands.

He, under the name of "God," embarked on a solitary journey of cultivation, hoping to one day destroy the Black Dragon.

Serena's strength quickly caught the attention of the Ishgar Magic Council, who invited him to join the Ten Wizard Saints. Fighting against powerful opponents was the best way to increase one's power, so Serena accepted the invitation without hesitation.

What he didn't expect was that these so-called "Ten Holy Mages" were so weak that he didn't even have the idea of ​​sparring with them.

Despite having a seemingly impressive title, Serena still chose to train alone throughout the continent of Ishgar.

Later, Serena concluded that there were no more mages on this continent worthy of his full effort.

There has been no news of the Black Dragon.

So he decided to go and see other continents.

In the first stop, the Alvarez Empire on the western continent, Serena, who believed himself to be invincible, suffered his first defeat.

Facing the old man who called himself the "Magic King," his proud "Eight Dragons Slayer" magic couldn't even break through a casual defensive spell from the other party.

Serena realized for the first time that there are always people more capable than oneself, and his stagnant strength finally had room to advance further.

So he stayed, because the "Magic King" told him that the Alvarez Empire was actually a pawn of His Majesty the Emperor in order to fight against the Black Dragon.

They were all pawns of the emperor who called himself the "Ugly Fairy".

But Serena didn't care.

It wasn't that he looked down on Ishgar; it was just that joining the Alvarez Empire offered him more opportunities.

Serena never expected that, not long after joining the Empire, he would be knocked unconscious by a single punch from an Ishgar mage he looked down upon...

"I...I've...confessed everything..."

"Could you... put me down... ugh..."

In one of the rooms, Serena was pale-faced and tied to a wooden horse. The swaying horse made him feel as if the villagers were waving to him.

Transportation is terrifying for Dragon Slayers; the stronger the Dragon Slayer, the more severe their motion sickness symptoms.

The same goes for Serena.

He never expected that he would wake up to find himself tied to a wooden horse; it was truly a twisted and perverse situation.

"Hmph, not only do they refuse to admit their mistakes, but they even dare to beg?"

Hope glanced at Serena with disdain. "Natsu, Gajeel, crank the rocking horse harder! I want to see him begging for mercy today!"

"No."

"gross."

Natsu and Gajeel, who were helping Hope to mess with Serena, decisively refused. What a joke! They're good guys, how could they do something like that?

If you're going to do it, do it quietly.

Natsu pretended to accidentally push the rocking horse again, and the increased shaking made Serena feel dizzy. His severe motion sickness made him see his fellow villagers who had been destroyed along with his hometown.

Gajeel didn't add insult to injury. As someone who had once been forced to ride the same rocking horse by Hope, Gajeel honestly felt a little sorry for Serena.

When it comes to causing trouble for people, Hope has always been a master.

Hope held a cup of tea, gently blowing away non-existent steam, and looked at Serena again. "Power? Is that your reason for betraying Ishgard?"

"The number one of the Ten Wizard Saints? What a disappointment."

"As punishment for your betrayal and for attacking our Fairy Tail tour group, you will be paraded through the streets of Vistalia like this for a day."

Natsu and Serena, who were standing nearby, immediately widened their eyes. This guy is really vicious.

Although Serena is a delusional middle-aged man, he still has his pride. If he were to appear in public like this and be humiliated in a public parade, how could he continue to work in the underworld?

"Is it really impossible to discuss this further?"

"I can talk too! I can love Ishgar too!"

Chapter 402 The Dragon-Slaying Crystal is given away

"Talk? What right do you have to talk to me?"

Hope put down her teacup, stood up, and slowly paced around the rocking horse. "You blocked our way and even made a show of fighting, saying something about 'using strength to pry our mouths open'..."

"What, you want to talk now that you can't beat us?"

Serena's lips trembled, whether from being dizzy from the rocking horse or from being choked by Hope's words, it was hard to tell.

He was a dignified god, an Eight-Dragon Slayer Mage, one of the strongest warriors in the Alvarez Empire, and a powerful figure personally recruited by the Magic King August.

Now, tied to a broken wooden horse and rocking back and forth, the smiling young man in front of him is still discussing "qualifications" with him.

What the hell is this?

And what exactly is this kid's strength? He knocked me out with just one punch?

"I just... wanted to test... your strength..."

Serena managed to squeeze out a sentence, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, "I meant you... no harm..."

"No malicious intent?"

Hope straightened up, crossed her arms, and her expression clearly said, "Keep making this up."

They were planning to leave after watching the competitive eating contest, but Serena came along looking for trouble and ruined everyone's good mood for the trip.

How can this be allowed?

Hope's smile remained unchanged, but her eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly said, "In short, it's your fault for making me unhappy."

Serena's face paled even more.

Gajeel and Natsu looked at Hope, who had a smile on his lips, yet it sent a chill down their spines. They couldn't help but silently mourn for Serena for a second.

Everyone in Fairy Tail knows Hope is petty and narrow-minded.

Do you really think you can get back together with someone you've offended?

Hope "accidentally" pushed the rocking horse, making Serena's stomach churn and his vision blur. In a daze, he saw his long-dead elders and fellow villagers smiling and waving at him.

Seeing his groggy, uncomfortable expression, Hope slowly reached out and plunged his hand into Serena's flesh.

"Don't worry, you won't get motion sickness soon."

Serena felt something being squeezed inside him, and for a moment, fear suppressed his motion sickness. He screamed in despair:

"Quack! Don't touch it!!"

The next second, Hope pulled a blood-stained, fiery red Dragon Slayer Crystal from Serena's body, and at the same time, he used the 'Enchanted' spell to silence Serena's screams.

How cruel!

Natsu and Gajeel swallowed hard as they watched this scene.

It wasn't that I was scared by Hope.

Previously in the Northern Continent, they heard Laxus say that he had dug out the Thunder Slayer Crystal from his body, but when they actually witnessed this action, they realized what kind of decision Laxus had made.

Even the most unconvinced people of Laxus have to admit that he is indeed a tough and unyielding man.

Hope was completely unaware that his two friends' thoughts had wandered off to the farthest reaches of the universe. He looked at the Dragon Slayer Crystal in his hand, which still held Serena's warmth, and whistled.

"Wow, it's actually a dragon-slaying crystal made from the heart of a mutated fire dragon."

Upon hearing "fire dragon," Natsu, whose attention had been triggered by the keyword, instantly snapped back to reality and looked around, asking, "Fire dragon?! Where's the fire dragon?"

So that's all you heard...

Hope was speechless and tossed the fire-attribute Dragon Slayer Crystal in her hand to Natsu.
