Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

When did this happen?

"The last day at Sister Eileen's manor."

Hope, hands in his pockets, gazed at the figure enveloped in black flames on the arena. "I happen to have a suitable offering that can help Natsu improve his strength, so I might as well use it."

"A sacrifice?" Erza frowned.

"It is the soul of Deliora."

Hope explained, "There are two ways to awaken Natsu's END power. One is to completely drain the magic power from his body, and then the dormant END power will awaken."

"The second method is to use the powerful demonic curse power of the same origin to reactivate this power."

Deliora's Soul was no longer of any use to Hope, and Mirajane thought it was too ugly to give it away, so he simply decided to make use of it and use Deliora's Soul as a price to help Natsu activate the dormant power within him.

Now is the time for Natsu to unleash his true power.

On the arena, the magical energy emanating from Natsu had reached an unbelievably strong level.

The immense magical power enveloped his entire body like an impenetrable fortress, preventing Brandish's 'Shape' magic from penetrating, let alone taking effect.

Shrink!

invalid.

enlarge!

invalid.

Change form!

All invalid.

The overwhelming magic rendered Brandish's "Shape" magic completely useless.

She had only ever felt this absolute difference in magical power from His Majesty the Emperor, from August, who was half her grandfather, and from Eileen.

Those three are the world's top mages.

The pink-haired boy opposite him was just a young man who looked to be in his early twenties.

Brandish, who was unaware of Natsu's identity, was momentarily shaken. There was such a huge gap between them... Wasn't he supposed to be a genius?

Just as Brandish was in turmoil, Natsu made his move.

A ball of pitch-black flame suddenly ignited in his hand, tumbling and roaring as it transformed into an enormous fiery fist.

As Natsu made his move, he suddenly remembered that after he awakened the power of END and challenged Hope but was beaten up instead, that guy gave his move a cool name.

The Crimson Dragon—

Suppress by absolute force!

Chapter 445 Lingering Fear

Brandish's pupils contracted sharply.

In that instant, she felt as if the whole world had disappeared.

All that remained in her vision was a gigantic black, fiery fist that blotted out the sky, crushing down on her. A sense of powerlessness instantly overwhelmed her, filling her with uncontrollable fear.

It's like an ordinary person standing on the edge of a bottomless abyss. No one needs to push them; the dizzying height alone is enough to make their legs go weak and make it impossible to even stand up.

Brandish is in that situation right now.

Her magic is still there, her magic is still there, but her spirit and will are on the verge of collapse under the pressure of Natsu's terrifying magic.

This was an experience she had never had before.

This feeling...

It's even more terrifying than facing a hundred dead lesbians like Timalia!

The thought flashed through Brandish's mind. With her last ounce of willpower, she desperately tried to muster the magic within her body to cast a spell.

Even if it's just shrinking yourself, even if it's just changing the direction of the attack, even if...

However, nothing happened.

Under the absolute pressure of Natsu's 'END' power, Brandish's magic didn't even have a chance to be released before it was suppressed by that terrifying magical power.

It felt like someone was choking me, and I couldn't make a sound.

It was as if his limbs were restrained, and he couldn't make any movements.

The gap is so disheartening.

Brandish stood frozen in place, watching helplessly as the giant black, fiery fist drew ever closer, until she saw her dead mother coming to take her away...

boom!

The black flames exploded with a deafening roar.

The empty stone stands behind Brandish melted instantly in the flames, as if made of paper, and were then completely evaporated.

Natsu isn't really a fool. It was just a friendly sparring match. How could he possibly take someone's life? This move wasn't aimed at Brandish from the very beginning.

However, even Natsu himself underestimated the power of END.

Behind Brandish, the black flames that had burned an entire stand to the ground continued to surge and spread into the distance like a flood bursting its banks.

Seeing that other buildings were about to be affected, Imber could no longer sit still. He appeared in front of the direction where the black flames were spreading and raised his hands.

A sudden chill appeared, and amidst the biting cold, a giant ice pillar solidified.

The black flames struck it, producing a corrosive sizzling sound, and the steam they stirred up swirled like clouds of mist.

Imber frowned, his hands trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

After a few seconds of stalemate, the black flames finally slowly died down.

Imber let out a long breath, dispelling his 'Winter' spell. His gaze then fell on the boy surrounded by black flames on the arena, his eyes showing more respect.

He truly deserves to be His Majesty's younger brother!

The power of "END" was far greater than he had imagined; the power contained in the remaining flames alone required him to use seventy percent of his strength to resist it.

Let alone Brandish, that young girl, even he himself would probably be in the same boat if he faced Natsu at full power.

On the ring, Brandish collapsed to the ground.

Her legs had completely lost their strength, and she slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, her bangs were damp with sweat and stuck to her pale face, her pupils still held the fear, and her lips trembled slightly.

It's obvious that he was frightened by Natsu just now.

Natsu closed his eyes, and the black flames receded like a tide. From the center of the flames to the edges, the deep black gradually faded, turning back into a warm crimson.

When I opened my eyes again, that sunny, cheerful, and passionate boy was back.

Natsu turned around, waved to his teammates in the stands, gave them a thumbs up, and flashed a bright white smile. "Everyone! I won!"

His voice was loud and clear, filled with undisguised smugness.

Happy flapped its wings twice and landed on Natsu's shoulder, grabbing his face and looking him over from left to right. Then, still shaken, it said, "Natsu, you suddenly became so scary..."

Natsu scratched his head. "There's nothing I can do. I turn into that form when I use the power of 'END,' but it's just that my aura becomes cold. I'm still me."

"Oh! I see."

Happy seemed to understand, but not quite. "Speaking of which, Natsu was actually super cool just now."

"Hahaha! I think so too!"

Lucy watched the two people on stage, one human and one cat, grinning foolishly at something, and a somewhat helpless smile appeared on her face.

That idiot... He was so scary before, but in the blink of an eye he turned back into that silly guy.

"Natsu is amazing!" Wendy clapped her hands happily, genuinely happy for Natsu. Charlene, however, sighed, wondering when her Wendy would ever be that amazing.

Although Makarov was surprised, he did not show it because he saw Hades sitting as still as a mountain. He was almost ninety years old and it was better not to embarrass himself in front of his teacher.

Unbeknownst to Makarov, Hades was already internally screaming "Holy crap!" several times in shock at Natsu's performance.

But he is Hades, a man of great learning.

How could I show an ignorant expression in front of a group of younger people?

So Hades, like his good student, held his nerve...

Erza, Mirajane, and Cana weren't too surprised because Hope had spoiled the story beforehand; after all, that was the power of the strongest demon, and it would be a problem if they didn't have some strength.

Only one person was already drenched in sweat.

Cold sweat trickled down Gajeel's forehead, and his fingers unconsciously gripped the railing of the stands.

Although he already knew from Levy that Natsu would never go all out when fighting his own people, no one told him that the idiot was actually holding back.

Its strength automatically decreases when fighting with its companions.

How can there be such a person in this world!

Gajeel recalled every fight he had with Natsu after joining Fairy Tail, those back-and-forth, fiercely contested battles...

I'm suddenly feeling a little withdrawn.

On the other side, in the stands of Albarez's team.

One person shared the same feeling as Gajeel; Agil plopped down in his seat, feeling completely drained.

Did he really provoke such a monster a few days ago?

This... His Majesty's brother is really good-tempered. Even after I provoked him like that, he only got a beating.

It feels so good to be alive.

Suddenly, Agil realized he couldn't continue being arrogant, or he might offend another powerful person and not be lucky enough to escape with his life.

Just then, a figure stepped onto the stage.

Lucy approached Brandish, looked at the green-haired girl who had collapsed to the ground, knelt down, and extended her hand to her. "Are you alright?"

The voice conveyed genuine concern.

But Brandish's heart instantly turned cold. The fear and panic on his face gradually faded, replaced by a cold indifference that kept strangers at bay.
