Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

But now, his mother, who should have been dead for nearly a hundred years, is standing right in front of him, cursing him without using a single swear word, giving Agil a thorough dressing-down.

But how could that be possible?

The surging emotions made it impossible for the usually calm August to remain composed. Noticing something was wrong, Imber asked with concern, "Lord August?"

August did not respond.

He just stared straight at Mavis.

Meanwhile, Mavis, who was firing at Agil with all her might, felt that scorching gaze and turned around angrily, only to meet August's eyes.

Seeing the complex emotions in his eyes, Mavis was taken aback.

Why is this old man looking at her like that?

It was as if we'd known each other for a very long time.

What's even stranger is that when Mebius looked at August's aged face, he felt a strange sense of closeness, as if he were a blood relative.

She shook her head, banishing the absurd thought from her mind.

Why am I overthinking this? It's clearly the first time she's met August, so where did this sense of closeness come from? It must be because she was too engrossed in the argument earlier and hasn't calmed down yet.

Yes, that must be it.

When Agil saw Mebius suddenly stop, he was about to say something when Inber pressed down on his shoulder.

“Agil.” Imber’s voice was neither loud nor soft, but carried an undeniable chill, “Enough is enough.”

Agil gritted his teeth, but ultimately remained silent.

He was arrogant, but not stupid.

He had clearly sensed the magic emanating from Mavis earlier, and understood that this girl licking a lollipop possessed the power to completely overwhelm him.

Moreover...

Agil glanced furtively at Eileen, who was smiling at him from a short distance away, and a chill ran down his spine again.

"Scarlet Despair" was watching from the sidelines. If he continued to cause trouble with the other party's guests, he would definitely be in deep trouble.

The atmosphere in the hall became subtle.

Eileen held the coffee that the maid had just refilled, her gaze shifting back and forth between August and Mavis, a thoughtful look flashing in her amber eyes.

She had known August for so many years and had never seen this composed old man show such an expression.

What is so special about Mavis that makes the Magic King lose his composure?

Hope sat on the sofa, watching the old man and the child who were inexplicably stuck in a stalemate, a faint smile playing on her lips.

It's here, it's here.

With Augustus himself coming to our doorstep, the second phase of the Western Continent's family reunion has officially begun.

A child unknown to his parents.

A mother who didn't know she had a child.

Nearly ninety years later, this mother and son, who had suffered so much, finally reunited.

Although one is now an elderly man with white hair, the other still looks like a young girl.

But how can the bonds of blood be severed by time and appearance? It's just that some things need to be faced and discovered by the people involved themselves.

Hope was not in a position to interfere, so she decided to let the qualified old man start the conversation.

Hades, who was sitting at the other end, suddenly felt a strong unease for no reason. Then he felt a force behind him that he could not resist push him.

The next moment, to everyone's astonishment, Hades pounced on all fours between Mebis and August in a tiger descending the mountain move.

The shoe prints on the back of the clothes were clearly visible.

Mavis: ......

August: ......

Everyone: ......

Seeing everyone looking at him, Hope, who had just sat down again, looked innocent and said, "Why are you all looking at me? Do you think I was the one who kicked it?"

if not?

You didn't even try to hide your kick!

Chapter 422 One Shot, One Kill

Hades lay on all fours in an extremely undignified position between Mavis and August, with Hope's shoe print clearly imprinted on his back.

The scene was absolutely hilarious.

Mavis lowered her head, looked at Hades lying at her feet with a livid face, tilted her head, and forced herself not to laugh out loud.

"Are you OK?"

Hades gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words: "It's...nothing."

Of course he has something to do!

He was sitting there peacefully when Hope kicked him out. The young man had no sportsmanship, making an old man like him fall flat on his face in front of so many people. He had completely lost face.

But once you've lost face, you've lost face.

After all, he was an old man who had lived for over a hundred years; this kind of situation wouldn't make him lose his composure.

What unsettled Hades was Augustus, who was less than three steps away from him. He could even clearly sense the complex emotions surging within Augustus's gaze.

Hades' heart clenched as he sensed the faint, unique magic emanating from Auguste, a magic that belonged neither to light nor darkness.

It's been almost ninety years.

He thought he would never see the child again in his life.

After Mavis died, Hades preserved her body in an attempt to find a way to resurrect her. During his research, he unexpectedly discovered that Mavis was pregnant.

Hades delivered the posthumous child.

He is Mebbes's child.

He is also Jelf's child.

But Jelf has disappeared without a trace, and Mavis has passed away. What should be done with this child?

Hades did consider raising him, but at that time Hades had already taken over the responsibilities of Fairy Tail, was busy with guild affairs every day, and also had to secretly conduct research to revive Mavis.

In addition, this child himself is someone who would attract countless covetous eyes.

If people knew that the legendary woman, revered as the "Fairy Strategist," was pregnant out of wedlock and gave birth to a posthumous child, would it damage Mavis's reputation?

What kind of uproar would it cause if people found out that this child still had the blood of a dark mage?

A combination of reasons led Hades to make a decision that seems utterly absurd even now.

He abandoned the infant.

Hades left without even giving the child a name or using magic to ensure the child's safety.

I'm such a jerk...

Hades felt a deep bitterness in his heart, regretting his past actions, but his expression returned to its usual calm as he stood up and dusted off his clothes, which were not actually dust.

He certainly understood why Hope had kicked him out; the sins he had committed were ultimately his own responsibility to uncover the truth.

August looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him with a complicated expression. Of course, he recognized Hades, the second guild master of Fairy Tail, Precito Gelberg.

This is the person who heartlessly abandoned him when he was still a baby.

As the child of Jelf and Mavis, Augustus naturally inherited his parents' wisdom, and even surpassed them to an abnormal degree.

So abnormal was that he could remember things from birth, even his memories from infancy were clearly imprinted in August's mind.

He clearly remembered the hands that lifted him from beside his mother's body. The man named Precito wrapped him in swaddling clothes, his face conflicted as he held him and talked to himself, telling him about his background and how gentle and kind his mother was.

Finally... those same hands placed him outside a strange village.

And then, he never came back.

The naturally wise Augustus never resented Hades' actions.

Because he understood the young mage's situation at the time: a young man who had just lost his best friend, had to face a baby that suddenly appeared, and also had to take care of guild affairs and research on resurrecting his best friend.

It's not impossible that he eventually lost his mind and made such an irrational and foolish choice.

But understanding is one thing.

But once they actually meet, it's a different story.

“You’re old,” August said, his voice so calm it didn’t sound like he was speaking to someone who had once abandoned him.

Hades' expression shifted, finally settling into a lingering melancholy, and he sighed, "You've grown old too."

"Decades have passed, I should be an old man by now," August said calmly. "But how have you been these past years?"

"good."

"That's good."

The two old men chatted back and forth, their conversation as mundane as discussing the weather.

The onlookers were completely bewildered.

What's happening here?

Hades and the Magic King know each other? And they seem to have a close relationship?

Mavis watched this scene, her emerald green eyes filled with confusion. She felt that the atmosphere between Hades and August was strange.

Her intuition told her that there was probably a big secret between the two of them.

“Precito,” Mavis suddenly spoke, abruptly interrupting the two old men’s awkward conversation, “what exactly is your relationship with the Magic King?”

Hades hesitated for a moment, a complex light flashing in his old eyes, then, as if having made a decision, slowly said, "Mavis, actually..."

"Actually, you have another son."

After watching the show silently for a while, and seeing that the old man Hades was dawdling and not getting to the point, Hope, who was getting a little impatient, chose to forcefully intervene.
