"Stop flattering me." Eileen snorted coldly, but the corners of her mouth still turned up slightly for a moment.

In the distance, Erza, Juliet, and Heine consciously retreated, watching from afar. Heine remained expressionless, while Juliet clenched her small fists excitedly, her eyes fixed on the battlefield.

"Lady Erza, who do you think will win?" Juliet asked softly, naturally accepting the fact that she had gained another little master.

Erza didn't answer, but just looked at the casually standing figure in the distance, a faint smile on her lips.

On the battlefield.

Eileen made the first move.

This wasn't a test, nor a warm-up; it was a killing blow from the very first move.

Crimson light erupted from the magic circle in front of her, transforming into a massive pillar of light several meters in diameter that tore through the air like a roaring dragon, crushing towards Hope.

Wherever the dragon's breath passed, a deep trench was carved into the ground. The soil and rocks instantly melted into glassy lava under the high temperature, and the air was filled with a pungent, burnt smell.

This was the "original" dragon-slaying magic, whose power far surpassed that of Serena's so-called "god" built of crystal.

Hope's eyes brightened slightly.

Eileen's magic was more powerful than he had imagined.

Compared to the "Holy Dragon Slayer" taught to her by the Wise Dragon, her magic is more brutal and wild, and less holy and gentle. Although both are of the Holy attribute, Irene's Dragon Slayer magic is more like a judgment that seeks to purify everything.

She has broken free from Belserion's influence and developed her own unique dragon-slaying magic.

No wonder he's someone who can create both "Enchanting Techniques" and "Dragon Slayer Magic".

but......

Hope raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and a vortex-shaped magic circle appeared out of thin air in his palm. A miniature black hole formed in his palm and instantly released an astonishing gravitational pull.

Celestial Magic: Black Hole!

The crimson dragon breath that came rushing towards them seemed to be grabbed by an invisible giant hand, and was completely drawn in, compressed, and swallowed into the black hole that was only the size of a fist.

Without making a sound, the aura of collapse released by Eileen was simply swallowed up.

This was the first time she had ever seen someone who could cultivate 'celestial magic' to this level. As the most dangerous celestial body, 'black holes' were usually considered the ultimate trump card by mages who used this magic.

But this kid just raised his hand and used it like a minor skill...

Eileen suppressed her slight surprise and gently tapped her wand in Hope's direction.

"Additional·Weak Body".

This is one of the most basic and practical abilities of the Hex spell, which is to "add" a negative status effect to the opponent.

However, as a high-ranking enchantress, Eileen's enchantment skills are so advanced that she can complete the enchantment instantly without touching the target, a terrifying feat.

A host of negative states hung over Hope like an invisible net.

An ordinary mage would probably not even have a chance to react before being hit by Irene's enchanted magic, and then weakened to the limit in an instant, leaving them at the mercy of others.

But Hope is not an ordinary mage.

"The Moon's God-Slaying Mirror".

Magic flowed, and a silvery-white light, like the moon in the sky, condensed on his body, instantly transforming into a huge mirror of light, smooth as water and crystal clear.

The debuff application failed to take effect and was bounced back along the same path.

Eileen raised an eyebrow and casually dispelled the additional magic that had been reflected back at her. "God-slaying magic? That's quite rare. Just how many more surprises do you have in store for me?"

Additional spells, dragon slaying, celestial bodies... She thought Hope was already proficient in enough magic, but she never expected her to be able to pull out new spells.

This reminded Eileen of another person who was considered one of the two pillars of the Alvarez Empire alongside her, the "Magic King" August.

Knowing a lot of magic is one thing, but being proficient in every single one is a bit too much.

Hope smiled, and with a flick of her finger, the moonlight mirror instantly transformed into light magic, shattering into dozens of fragments, each of which spun rapidly in the air like a sharp blade.

Dozens of light blades shot towards Eileen from different angles and directions, their speed so fast that they left behind golden afterimages.

Eileen neither dodged nor evaded; her wand merely tapped lightly on the ground, instantly releasing a "gravity enhancement" that could easily suppress even magic.

However, the next second, Eileen felt the ground beneath her feet suddenly sink.

Eileen looked at the rough vines sprouting from the soil. Earth magic combined with plant magic... This kid has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

She immediately granted herself the ability to fly, but before she could take off, a gravity spell descended from the sky and caught her off guard.

Even Eileen, a humanoid dragon, couldn't withstand the immense gravity for a moment. Her takeoff failed, and the magical vines beneath her feet, like the bizarre tentacles in some cartoons, instantly bound her in an unspeakable way.

A series of smooth, interconnected mini-moves.

Little Eileen, you can't control her... you can't control her.

With just a powerful surge of magic, Eileen easily broke through the multiple magical suppressions Hope had set up for her.

Hope took a half step back and watched Eileen emerge from the shattered space, her clothes fluttering, completely unharmed.

As expected of a dragon witch who has lived for over four hundred years, her magical power, combat experience, and adaptability are all far beyond the ordinary.

“Kid, your magic is a mixed bag, but you use each one just right,” Eileen commented. “It’s clear you’ve put in a lot of hard work.”

"But... these acrobatics alone are not enough."

A dangerous smile curved Eileen's lips. The fallen wand transformed into a longsword and returned to her hand, emanating a terrifying aura.

"I will use all my strength for this next sword strike." Eileen's voice became serious. "Kid, you better not die."

Hope felt the magical energy fluctuations that seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart, and finally wiped the smile off his face.

This sword strike was no joke.

Since that's the case, he'll have to show his true skills.

"Sister Eileen, I'll only use one move next."

A strange light flashed in Hope's pupils, and the magic power within his body suddenly exploded, condensing into a blurry figure behind him.

"This move is called—"

"Hell War God!"

Chapter 413 Parents Meet "Parents"

The moment the words left his mouth, the blurry figure suddenly became clear.

Under the moonlight, a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a crescent moon battle mark on his forehead, and exuding a refined air, appeared behind Hope.

It is none other than the Grand Commander of Hell!

He stood there with his arms crossed, hovering behind Hope, looking down at Eileen across from him.

Without making any movement, simply standing there, he exuded a chilling sense of oppression. Even someone as strong as Eileen's pupils contracted and her body tensed instinctively.

She has lived for four hundred years, witnessed Acnologia's world-destroying power in single-handedly slaying the dragon, seen Zeref's profound and abyssal dark magic, and witnessed the all-encompassing magical attainments of the Magic King August.

I have never felt such an atmosphere before.

Although it was clearly an illusion created by magic, it made her feel as if she were facing a terrifying being that transcended the boundaries of this world.

"Who is he?" Eileen asked in a low voice.

Hope's voice was calm. "The person I remember."

He used the magic 'Memory Modeling' to awaken the image of the Hell King from his memory, and used magic as flesh and blood to condense it into this "Hell War God".

Of course, this is not the real God of War from Hell.

The true Hell God of War requires magnetic field power to activate, summoning a "God of War" with the same power level as itself to fight alongside it.

Hope's move merely borrowed the appearance of Hell through "Memory Shape," but its core remained his magic.

Even so, when the man's phantom appeared behind Hope, even Hope herself felt something was off.

It was as if the phantom was not merely a creation of his magic, but something real that had answered his call from the depths of distant memory.

Hope guessed that, like the previous time with the Wood Dragon, the Grand Commander's will had once again briefly descended upon this world.

However, Hope's magic power was not as great as the Wood Dragon's accumulated power over 400 years, nor the magic power gained from constantly devouring human lives, so the will of Hell only stayed for a moment before leaving.

If his magic could reach the pinnacle of this world, would there be a chance...?

This feeling was fleeting.

Hope suppressed her suspicions and looked up at Eileen.

"Sister Eileen, oh wait..."

“Mother-in-law, the person behind me is my deceased elder. We can now say that our parents have met.”

Eileen's lips twitched slightly.

They did meet, but the occasion...

Using "Memory Shape" to summon deceased elders to fight, this kid definitely has the potential to become a dark mage.

She had only intended to casually test the boy's strength; as long as Hope could prove he had the power to protect Erza, she would just go through the motions.

Unexpectedly, this trial revealed something extraordinary...

Eileen took a deep breath and cleared her mind of all distractions.

Regardless of who Hope's elder was, or what the phantom was, Erin Belserion was never one to be intimidated.

Moreover, it was just a dead person that Hope had conjured from her memories using magic.

"Kid, take this!"

A powerful aura surged from Eileen, and her crimson magic erupted like a volcanic eruption or a tsunami, as she unleashed "Full Enhancement" on herself.

Speed, strength, and reaction time have been greatly improved.

The next moment, Eileen disappeared.

It's not spatial teleportation, it's just that the speed is so fast that it's imperceptible to the naked eye.

Sensing the sword wind beside him, Hope did not turn around, but simply turned slightly to the side. A crimson sword light swept past his chest from below, severing several strands of his hair.

"The response was good, but that was just a test."

Eileen appeared behind him, sheathing the longsword transformed from the antler wand in her hand and slashing again. Crimson light instantly filled the sky and dyed the entire wilderness blood red.
