Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

That brat is threatening me!

He actually dared to threaten me!

如果不是看在霍普是女儿心爱之人的份上，就凭这欠揍的语气，艾琳早就把桌子掀了，然后让这小子知道什么叫做“绯色绝望”。

But Eileen didn't do that, not because she was unlikely to beat Hope, but simply because it was an elder's tolerance for a junior who was a bit dim-witted.

That's right, that's it!

It's definitely not because we can't beat them.

Eileen took a deep breath, using all her remaining composure to suppress the urge to spill coffee on Hope's face, and said with a half-smile:

"Kid, if you talk nonsense in front of Erza, believe me, I'll strip naked and tell my daughter that you molested me."

Hope's eyes lit up. "Such a good thing?!"

The restaurant fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

Eileen's eyes widened. She had only meant to scare Hope and make him a little more serious, but it seemed she had managed to extract some incredible information.

The first reaction of this young man after hearing what she said was surprise.

Is this correct?

It's one thing to eat the younger one, but to even eat the older one...

Eileen inexplicably recalled the noise she heard outside Erza's room yesterday, and then thought of the purple mood that she couldn't fully enjoy, and suddenly felt that it might not be so bad.

What's wrong with borrowing your daughter's husband for a while?

Do you even understand what filial piety and righteousness mean?

Hope felt Eileen's gaze suddenly become intense as she looked at him, and a sense of foreboding washed over him.

As the saying goes, at thirty one is like a wolf, at forty like a tiger, and at fifty one can suck the blood of the dead...

A beautiful young woman with a mental age of less than 40 has not been able to release her pent-up desires for over 400 years due to "dragonization." If she were to experience sexual pleasure, she would probably be completely devoured and drained dry.

Looking at Eileen's mature and sophisticated demeanor, Hope felt incredibly regretful. It was all his fault for being so quick-witted and blurting out his true feelings.

Now look what's happened, we've been targeted.

No, we have to change the subject.

Otherwise, Hope was afraid he wouldn't be able to control himself and would cuckold Erza... What if Erza woke up one night and found that the husband she had been intimate with the night before had become her stepfather? She would go berserk!

Hope could already picture herself being chopped into half-fat, half-lean minced meat...

After all, she's my mother-in-law; I can't tease her too much.

Hope's gaze then fell on the breakfast spread out on the long table. "Mother-in-law, you're eating too well!"

The long oak dining table was filled with a variety of dishes.

From toast with honey and butter to stacks of French toast, from fresh fruit platters to various cheeses, smoked salmon, and pan-fried bacon.

In the center of the table sat a large plate of steaming muffins, accompanied by maple syrup and whipped cream. There was also a bowl of rich soup, its aroma filling the air, topped with finely chopped cilantro.

Hope roughly counted, and there were more than a dozen that he could name, as well as many Western Continent specialty breakfasts that he had never seen before.

Is this breakfast?

It's enough to run a small self-service business if you put it outside.

"You ate all of this by yourself?"

“I eat like this every day.”

Hope couldn't help but joke, "What a good appetite."

Eileen shrugged slightly and explained calmly, "Although I can't taste anything now, what if my sense of taste comes back someday?"

She paused, a hint of self-mockery flashing in her eyes, "For the past twenty years, I have prepared three sumptuous meals every day, and then tasted them one by one, hoping to find a trace of flavor."

"But unfortunately, no matter how appetizing the food is, it doesn't taste good to me."

Hope listened and stopped smiling.

"Not only have I lost my sense of taste, but I've also lost my sleep."

Eileen continued, her tone as flat as if she were talking about someone else, "Last night, I was holding a glass of milk, wanting to say goodnight to Erza, but the truth was that I couldn't sleep and had nothing to do. For the past twenty years, I haven't had a single night where I've truly slept."

"When I close my eyes, all I can think about is the past."

Eileen picked up her coffee cup, gently swirled it, and watched the dark brown liquid inside ripple. "Sometimes I think, maybe this is the price of 'dragonification.' To gain immense power, you have to lose some of your basic human abilities."

Over the years, Eileen's spirit has become numb.

She put down her coffee cup and looked out the window at the lawn illuminated by the morning light. The only reason she was able to keep her from having a mental breakdown was because of her determination to be human again.

Eileen believes that everything she's in now is because of 'dragonization,' and it's all the fault of dragon-slaying magic...

"If I weren't a Dragon Slayer Mage, if I hadn't become a dragon..." Eileen's voice grew softer and softer, and the last few words were almost inaudible.

The restaurant was quiet for a moment.

Hope suddenly spoke up with a serious expression: "Mother-in-law, if I may be so bold, your physical abnormalities have nothing to do with 'dragon transformation,' but rather with your mindset."

Eileen's eyes flickered slightly as she turned to look at him.

“I know someone,” Hope continued, “Elevseria, the one known as ‘Falcon’ on the Western Continent. You should have heard of that name, right?”

Eileen nodded slightly.

After all, Elevseria was the founder of the world's first mage guild, so how could the Alvarez Empire's intelligence network not pay attention to her?

However, Eileen didn't pay much attention to it, so she only knew that there was such a person as Elevseria and that he was a Dragon Slayer Mage.

What she didn't know was that the old man was a self-taught Dragon Slayer Mage, and Elevseria had also reached the final step of becoming a Dragon Slayer Mage—'Dragonization'—by using Dragon Slayer Magic extensively. This meant transforming from a human into a giant dragon.

Hope informed Eileen of Elevseria's information.

Eileen was deeply surprised that there was someone who could become a Dragon Slayer Mage through self-study and even grow to the level of a Dragon King.

That's terrifying! He's a ruthless person...

Indeed, there are always people more capable than oneself in this world, and every era has its own unparalleled geniuses. Unfortunately, just like the humans 400 years ago, Erefseria is also being suppressed by an even stronger dragon.

Chapter 417 The Person Who Pushed Open the Window

There were no abnormalities after Erevseli "transformed into a dragon".

He can switch between human and dragon forms at any time, eat, drink, sleep, and even have time to admire beautiful women, without any of Eileen's troubles.

The difference between the two lies in their mindset.

Elevseria practiced dragon-slaying magic to resist the oppression of the five dragon gods, so he could accept his transformation into a dragon with a clear conscience.

In contrast, Irene once created dragon-slaying magic to protect her country and resist the invasion of evil dragons, but she lost her original intention of "protection" because of the betrayal of the people she was protecting.

Eileen remained silent in the face of Hope's explanation.

She was a smart person; if she could just clear her mind and think things through, she would arrive at the same conclusion. She wavered.

But as the creator of Dragon Slayer Magic, Eileen chose to remain stubborn.

"Perhaps... this is just an isolated case."

Her voice was somewhat unsteady, "It could also be related to the 'Dragon Slayer Magic' that Eleveselia practiced. A self-taught Dragon Slayer mage, perhaps this magic itself is quite special..."

Hope looked at her and couldn't help but laugh.

This laugh silenced Eileen, whose brow furrowed even more. "What are you laughing at?"

"nothing."

Hope shook her head, but couldn't suppress the smile on her lips. "I just think that your stubbornness is just as...adorable as Erza's."

Eileen: "......"

Is he flirting with me?!

How dare that brat! No respect for elders, doesn't he know I'm his senior? Oh, so this has already happened once before. Never mind then.

Eileen opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that she couldn't find any reason to refute it.

Having been pregnant for four hundred years, the mother and daughter were inseparable, their blood ties etched into their very bones. So, isn't it only natural that the daughter resembles her mother?

"But this is just an isolated case. There is only one Erevseria, which does not prove that my physical problems are caused by my mentality."

Eileen still couldn't accept this reason.

"Then let me tell you about another Dragon Slayer mage who has already turned into a dragon." Even though Eileen still refused to confront her inner thoughts, Hope threw out another bait.

Eileen's curiosity was immediately piqued. Besides Elevseria, were there other powerful Dragon Slayer Mages in the world that she didn't know about?

However, the name Hope uttered made her freeze.

"Black Dragon Acnologia".

Eileen's pupils suddenly contracted. "You know Acnologia?!"

In his tone, shock overwhelmed all other emotions.

As someone who witnessed Acnologia's slaughter of the dragons four hundred years ago, Erin has a deep and unforgettable memory of that name.

The man who ultimately transformed into a black dragon single-handedly slaughtered the dragon race across the entire continent, nearly wiping out this former world's dominant species.

We've met a few times, so we'd call each other friends.

Hope said casually, "The Black Dragon has now set its sights on another target. For a long time to come, as long as no one is foolish enough to cause him trouble, his threat to this world can be said to be zero."

Eileen stared at him for a few seconds, seemingly trying to determine the truth of his words. Of course, she had no idea that the "other target" Hope was referring to was a living god.

But this is not the point.

“Mother-in-law, the point is not what Black Dragon is doing.”

Hope continued, "But his physical condition is the same as Erevseria's; he can eat and sleep well and can autonomously transform back into a human body."

"A self-taught dragon slayer mage and a black dragon that has lived for over four hundred years—two living examples right before our eyes."

Hope looked into Eileen's eyes and said, word by word, "Your mother-in-law, do you think these two examples are enough to prove the point?"

Eileen fell silent, her fingers trembling slightly as she held the coffee cup, causing ripples to spread across the coffee inside.
