Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Xianlong Belserion was Irene's most important companion throughout her life.

She would never allow anyone to defile her companion's body.

Seeing Eileen's undisguised murderous intent, Hope helplessly shrugged. They really were mother and daughter; even their eyes were exactly the same when they were angry.

Before his mother-in-law could get angry, Hope reached out and pulled Erza to his side, saying, "The Wise Dragon's Dragon Slayer Crystal isn't on me. Senior, please look carefully before you decide whether to take action."

Then Hope raised her hand and pointed, and the Dragon Slayer Crystal inside Erza instantly and painlessly separated from her body and landed in front of Erin.

Eileen instinctively caught the Dragon Slayer Crystal, which radiated a warm glow. She felt an aura that was all too familiar within it, and while she felt nostalgic, she was also a little bewildered.

Since Belserion's Dragon Slayer Crystal is inside his daughter's body, where did that brat get his Dragon Slayer Magic from?

Surely it couldn't have really been given by Bercelion?

“That’s right, it’s Senior Xianlong.”

"It's just a thought form."

Hope didn't say much. Through telepathy and memory magic, he shared with Eileen his experience of encountering the Wise Dragon's thought form after entering the ruins of the Kingdom of Lagunov in the Twilight Forest.

Upon learning that Belserion's psychic powers ensured those who betrayed her would never be able to escape death, and that they would continue to wait for her until they dissipated, Eileen was struck dumb.

"Uncle Xianlong asked me to tell you that Bercelion's most beautiful memories belong to Eileen."

"Mother."

Erza stood up, walked to Irene, slowly squatted down, and looked up at her. "I have no right to blame you for abandoning me, because I have never experienced the suffering you endured."

"But now... please don't push me away anymore."

Eileen looked at the face in front of her that was exactly like her own, her reflection shimmering in those amber eyes.

There was no resentment, no questioning, and not even a sense of grievance.

There's only a tiny bit of hope.

"you......"

Eileen's voice finally softened completely, filled with an unprecedented vulnerability, "Don't you hate me? I abandoned you in that village, left you to grow up alone, left you..."

"Actually, it has."

Erza honestly said, "When I was little, I looked at other children and wondered every day why I didn't have a mother and why no family came to find me. I thought it was because I wasn't good enough that I was abandoned."

"After I learned the truth, I was no longer sad."

“You didn’t abandon me; I also have a mother who loves me.”

Her daughter's understanding and gentleness instantly melted away the psychological defenses that Eileen had built up over the past twenty years.

Tears fell.

One drop, two drops, silently landed on the girl's hair.

Eileen reached out, her hand trembling, and touched Erza's cheek, her fingertips feeling her warmth. Her voice was choked with sobs, almost inaudible, "Erza... my daughter..."

Erza took her hand and rubbed it against her cheek, like a kitten that had finally found its home.

"I've finally found you, Mom."

Chapter 410 An Embrace Twenty Years Late

"You child...why are you so disobedient?"

Eileen's voice was hoarse and nasal, "Just living well is enough. Who told you to come looking for me?"

"Who told you to forgive me?"

"Who told you to..."

By the end, his voice was completely broken.

Seeing Erin's vulnerable side, Erza finally couldn't control herself, tears welled up in her eyes, and she rushed into her mother's arms, hugging her tightly.

"Mother......"

"Mother......"

"Mother......"

She called out again and again, as if she wanted to make up for all the words she hadn't been able to say in the past twenty years.

Eileen froze, her hand hanging in mid-air, unsure where to put it. Her body trembled slightly, her lips moved, but no sound came out.

Time seemed to pass for a very, very long time, so long that Hope felt time was almost standing still.

The hands that had been suspended in the air finally fell slowly and gently wrapped around Erza's back.

Eileen's voice was muffled.

"I'm sorry... Erza..."

"sorry......"

Hope watched this scene with a slight smile on her lips.

In this scene where the mother and daughter finally open up to each other, Irene and Erza must have a lot to say, so it's best to leave them the space.

He stood up silently, quietly left the reception room, and gently closed the door behind him.

In the corridor, Heine and Juliet stood on either side of the door.

Heine remained expressionless, but there was something unreadable in his eyes. Juliet's eyes were red, clearly she had been eavesdropping.

"Let them be alone for a while."

As Hope spoke, she took out two boxes of milk from her changing space. "By the way, where's the kitchen? I'll put these two boxes of milk there."

Heine: ......

Juliet: ......

You've changed the subject...

They really couldn't understand this customer's thought process.

......

......

In the living room, the mother and daughter hugged each other for an unknown amount of time.

Erza finally let go, took a half step back, looked at the woman in front of her who looked almost exactly like her, and burst into laughter through her tears.

"Mom, you look really ugly when you cry."

"You child..." Eileen wiped her eyes with her sleeve and glared at her, annoyed. "Can't you speak properly?"

"It's because he's been spending too much time with Hope; you become like those you associate with."

"That brat? You should stay away from him in the future."

"There's nothing I can do about that," Erza said with a smile, her eyes crinkling. "I'm going to marry him."

Eileen: ......

The little cabbage that my family finally recognized is about to be eaten by a wild boar outside.

How can this be allowed?

400 years ago, it was her trusted husband who led the betrayal of Eileen; otherwise, even if Eileen was no match for him, she would not have been captured alive.

Erza's past experiences have made her instinctively hate marriage.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something as an elder, but in the end she said nothing.

Never mind, the child is grown up and has their own ideas.

Besides, given the debt she owed over the past twenty years, how could she possibly have the face to interfere with her daughter's choices? But if that brat named Hope dares to wrong Erza...

Eileen has nine ways to help him maintain his dignity.

However, since he was chosen by Bercelion to be given power, that seemingly frivolous boy must be quite strong and have a decent character.

Most importantly...

Eileen looked at the happy smile on her daughter's face as she talked about Hope.

As long as my daughter is happy, that's all that matters.

"Come, sit down and have a cup of tea."

Irene pulled Erza to sit down beside her and poured her a cup of tea herself. "Tell me," she said, "how have you been all these years..."

When she heard that Erza's village, where she had lived for ten years, had been massacred by the Dark Magic Cult, and that she herself had been captured and made a slave to build the Tower of Paradise.

Eileen was furious.

She had hoped that her daughter could live peacefully in that village, but she never imagined that Erza would suffer such a cruel fate when she was only ten years old. How could she, as a mother, not feel heartbroken?

Although she only spent a year in the Tower of Paradise, it left a deep mark on Erza's body and soul.

The emotional wounds have long since healed, but the physical ones...

Looking at her daughter's right prosthetic eye, which had long since become one with her flesh and blood, Eileen felt heartbroken and couldn't help but resent Zeref, the benefactor who had once helped her.

Researching black magic is one thing, but at least keep it confidential. How could black magic of the 'R System' level be leaked out...?

But if it weren't for Zeref's help back then, Erza might still be in Irene's belly right now, so Irene complained a little in her heart.

Fortunately, Erza's misfortune finally ended after she left the Tower of Paradise.

What kind of place is "Fairy Tail"?

"Our guild..."

Erza held her teacup, recalling the guild, a warm light shining in her eyes. "It was a noisy, chaotic, and unreasonable place."

"Some people play pranks on others every day, some drink until dark and don't go home, some seem gentle but are actually terrifyingly cunning, some are always shouting 'Let's get this fired up,' and there's this guy who always takes off his clothes without saying a word..."

Eileen listened quietly, the smile on her lips growing wider and wider.

That smile was faint and gentle, yet it was more tender than the moonlight outside the window.

As night deepened, the magical lamps in the manor lit up one by one on their own.
