Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

The body reacted at the critical moment.

Hold your breath and unleash the magic.

The blazing fire evaporated the murky black water in just a few seconds, and also removed all the toxins that had invaded Natsu's body.

Amidst the billowing steam, Natsu's figure emerged swiftly from the mist, stopping a few feet away, his gaze fixed on the black-haired, black-eyed, expressionless man.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?!"

"Jeref! Wake up!"

Natsu finally realized during his continuous dodging that his cheap older brother was not in a conscious state at all, but was a puppet controlled by Ankhseram.

As Natsu dodged and weaved through the surging black torrents, he shouted, "It's me, Natsu! Can you hear me?"

Before he could finish speaking, a jet-black, magical whip lashed out silently from the side and struck him hard on the back.

Natsu was sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before finally regaining his balance, the corrosive burning pain spreading down his spine.

Zeref floated in mid-air, expressionless as he withdrew his hand. His black eyes were devoid of light, like two stagnant pools. In response to Natsu's call, he simply raised his right hand in silence and gathered magic power once more.

The moment the complex magic circle was completed, new dark magic condensed and attacked Natsu at an even faster speed.

The Dragon King's flames collided with the dark magic, focusing solely on defense as the ground beneath Donaz's feet cracked inch by inch. He gritted his teeth and withstood the increasingly heavy pressure.

"The First Generation is waiting for you, and August is also waiting for you."

"So wake up already, Jelf!"

But Zeref's face remained unchanged. He could not hear anything, his self-awareness was completely sealed, and he was just a puppet controlled by Ankseram.

And the order Anksera gave him was...

Kill Natsu!

Zeref pointed a finger to the sky, and a pitch-black magic circle appeared. Terrifying magical energy surged from all directions, frantically coalescing under his will.

The pitch-black magic formed a huge magical sphere, like a condensed black sun.

Natsu looked up at the ever-growing black sphere of light, feeling the destructive power it contained. Even he, who was fearless, couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

As the dark magic descended, Natsu's vision went completely black.

Then a deafening roar erupted in the arena.

When the smoke cleared, Natsu was revealed lying on the scorched ground, covered in blood.

As the most outstanding magical genius four hundred years ago, Zeref possessed a vast amount of magic and immense magical power. Even though Natsu is currently in Fire Dragon King Mode and temporarily possesses some of the power of the Fire Dragon King, he is still worlds apart from Zeref.

Even with all their might, they couldn't withstand it.

This is the true power of the Black Mage... the strongest under the Black Dragon.

The last faint flame was mercilessly extinguished, and the Fire Dragon King Mode was forcibly deactivated. Natsu's chest heaved violently, and every breath was accompanied by a tearing pain.

His vision was blurry, and he was in excruciating pain all over his body.

Without the protection of the Fire Dragon King's power, the Death Domain can finally reap Natsu's life force.

"Damn it...so strong..." Natsu murmured softly, trying to open his eyes wide, but his eyelids felt as heavy as lead.

Just then, a figure appeared at the edge of his field of vision.

Zeref walked slowly forward, his cold face expressionless, the black magic gathering in his hand surging, ready to strike next.

Looking at his indifferent expression, Natsu suddenly had an identical but gentle face appear in his mind for no apparent reason.

That seems to be a memory from a very, very long time ago.

On a warm afternoon, the family of four chatted and laughed.

In the blink of an eye, with the appearance and departure of an evil dragon, the three people in the scene were no longer breathing. A warm family was reduced to a black-haired boy crying while holding the cherry-haired boy.

His name was Jelf, and on the same day, he lost both his parents and his beloved younger brother.

The flashback in my mind kept going on and on, and those memories that should have been lost along with my Devilish Book came rushing back like a flood.

Natsu remembered everything.

He remembered that his family had died in the attack of the evil dragon, and he remembered how Zeref, despite the torment of the "Curse of Contradiction," resurrected him.

He remembered his genius older brother, who, despite being tormented by the curse and left in utter chaos, had said those words to him, now reborn:

"Live on, Natsu."

Live on...

For my brother, for my parents who tragically passed away, for Fairy Tail, for the guild master, for Erza, for Hope, for Gray, for Lucy and Happy, for everyone...

I will definitely survive!

In reality, Zeref, who was about to take Natsu's life, suddenly narrowed his eyes as a hand grabbed his arm, which was covered in dark magic.

Despite being severely injured, Natsu managed to stand up.

Although the excruciating pain made his body tremble uncontrollably, the flames burning in his eyes were more intense than ever before.

Black and crimson flames intertwined and surged around Natsu, while a terrifying magical power, no less powerful than Zeref's, emerged from his body.

The indomitable flame has been rekindled.

The Power of END - Complete Unleashed!

The ultimate demon that Zeref poured all his heart and soul into creating is now finally showing its fangs to the world for the first time.

Natsu looked up at his controlled older brother and gave him a familiar, passionate smile. "This time... it's my turn."

"Brother, it's time for me to save you!"

Chapter 474 Black Magic, Delicious!

Jelf's pupils trembled slightly, and the controlled body seemed to regain its senses for a moment. But quickly, that glimmer of light was swallowed up again by the dense darkness.

"What a pair of brothers who share a deep bond."

Anxelam's voice came from Zeref's mouth, tinged with mockery, "Unfortunately, Zeref's will has long been completely sealed by me, and no amount of touching emotion can awaken him."

"Then you'd better open your eyes and watch carefully!"

Natsu clenched his fist. "I will definitely take Zeref back from you!"

Hehe~

With a light laugh, Ankseram stopped paying attention to this matter.

Compared to Natsu, Hope's threat dissipated more. That despicable human had fought against Him for so long, yet he still harbored a god-slaying magic. He was truly cunning.

As Ankhseram's will departed, Zeref, now his puppet, launched a ruthless attack.

The instantaneous black magic exploded in front of Natsu.

Natsu neither dodged nor evaded; the pitch-black flames suddenly surged, unleashing a violent magical hurricane centered on him. The moment they made contact, the black magic was engulfed by the flames.

The battle continues.

Natsu's fist, imbued with powerful magic, slammed into the magical barrier that Zeref had erected beforehand.

The moment the barrier shattered, Zeref silently unleashed a magical whip from the side at an extremely tricky angle. Natsu ducked to avoid it while simultaneously countering with a fire dragon wing strike.

A massive, crimson-black, wing-shaped magic spell swept out, colliding with the torrent of black magic that Zeref subsequently unleashed. The two forces exploded in mid-air, the shockwaves sending both of them staggering back several steps.

Natsu steadied himself and charged forward again with a burst of speed.

The fully unleashed power of END caused a mutation in his magic, and now all of Natsu's attacks carry the characteristics of dark magic.

Every spell, every punch, every kick, even the flames thrown have special effects unique to black magic.

This is the true power of 'END': in addition to possessing powerful magic comparable to Zeref's, it can also regard all of Natsu's attacks as black magic.

Zeref remained unfazed, forming a magic circle with one hand. Dozens of jet-black magic spears materialized out of thin air and poured down like a torrential rain.

"The Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

Natsu took a deep breath and spewed out a thick pillar of black and red fire, engulfing all the arrows. The flames continued their relentless advance, heading straight for Zeref's face.

Zeref spread his hands apart, and a vortex of magic formed in front of him, drawing the breath into it before pushing it out with his backhand.

The same fire dragon roar was "reflected" back by Zeref with magical enhancement.

Natsu was hit squarely by his own attack, only managing to stop after carving a long furrow in the ground. He shook his head, grinned, and said, "Wow, that was impressive! As expected of my older brother, I'm fired up!"

The two fought for dozens of rounds in one go, battling fiercely until the sky darkened.

The magical effects alone are more spectacular than the battle between Hope and Ankhseram.

On the smoke-filled battlefield, two figures clashed, collided, and separated like shooting stars, each encounter leaving new cracks on the deathly gray ground.

In terms of pure fighting skills and combat intuition, Natsu is undoubtedly superior.

Zeref is, after all, a scholar-type magical genius. His fighting style leans more towards calm calculation and magical transformation, and of course, numerical superiority.

However, Natsu's stats are no lower than his, and after a few exchanges, Zeref was constantly getting punched here and kicked there.

Zeref, who could be controlled by Ankhseram, maintained his immortality, and the blows that would have injured him had no effect on the situation.

With their fortunes shifting, neither could completely suppress the other.

Their power, in a sense, comes from the same source: Zeref created END, and END's power essentially originates from Zeref's magic.

All of Natsu's attacks are imbued with dark magic, and Zeref is the most skilled dark magic user in the world.

Thus, the situation turned into a protracted tug-of-war.

You punch me, and I easily block it; I fire a shot at you, and you take it without getting hurt.

Although magic other than black magic is interspersed throughout, its destructive power is somewhat insufficient compared to the various forms of black magic.

Neither of them could break through the other's defenses.

But Natsu was getting more and more anxious as the fight went on. His stamina and mana were being consumed at a rapid pace. The power of END was strong, but it also consumed a lot of energy. Meanwhile, Zeref on the other side was not tired at all.

This can't go on...

After exchanging another blow with Zeref, both of them were forced back by the impact. Natsu's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to break the deadlock.

The only effective mode at this level, 'Fire Dragon King Mode,' is still on cooldown; 'Crimson Dragon Mode,' however, is usable...
