Hope turned her head and looked seriously at Erza's profile. "What's there to face? You are you, Erza, Fairy Tail mage, and that will never change."
"But......"
"No buts."
Hope interrupted her, her tone firm, "Queen Irene is a great mother, and she would certainly want you to be happy."
"As for your awful father, you don't know his name or what he looks like. He's a complete stranger to you, an unwanted stranger, so there's even less reason to care."
Erza finally slowly raised her head. Her eyes were still red, but the sadness and turmoil in them had subsided considerably.
"Hope..."
"Ok?"
"Thank you."
Erza's voice was still a little hoarse, but it had regained its usual composure. Hope was right; it was pointless to dwell on that man's bloodline.
Her bond with her companions will not change because of bloodline, and more importantly, Erza knows that her birth was deeply anticipated and protected by her mother.
Although I don't know where Eileen went, they will definitely meet again.
Hope slapped her thigh, stood up, and extended her hand to Erza. "So, my queen, are you feeling better?"
Erza looked at Hope's outstretched hand, hesitated for a moment, and then took it.
After being helped up by Hope, Erza dusted off her armor, straightened her back, and that familiar, sharp aura, like a drawn sword, returned to her.
She turned to Bercelion and bowed deeply.
“Uncle Belserion, thank you for telling me the truth. Although it’s hard to fully process right now, knowing that my mother loves me is enough.”
Seeing Erza regain her spirits, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xianlong's eyes shone with a look of satisfaction.
Eileen, it seems your daughter has grown up in a wonderful place. She has the same strong will as you and has found reliable companions there.
The haze may still be there, but the sunlight has already pierced through.
"By the way, Erza, since you've called me uncle, I, as your uncle, should give you a little something as a gift." Belserion drew a circle in the air with his dragon claw.
Suddenly, a magic circle appeared in front of Erza, and in the golden light, seven sharp swords of different shapes and inlaid with gems of different colors slowly emerged.
Before even touching them, Erza could already sense the terrifying magical power contained within these seven weapons; any one of them possessed power far exceeding that of all her current armor.
Chapter 55 The Gift of Bercelion
Seven weapons hovered in mid-air, radiating chilling energy fluctuations. Erza instinctively wanted to decline, "This is too precious..."
"Take it, child."
"I am a dragon, I have no need for human weapons."
Xianlong's voice carried an undeniable gentleness, "These seven swords were forged in memory of Eileen, who was once a skilled swordswoman. I believe that in the hands of her daughter, these weapons will certainly be able to fulfill their due value."
Erza took a deep breath and stopped refusing, "Well, I'll take it."
Bercelion nodded in satisfaction and introduced the seven swords to her.
After the Belserion Entity awoke, in order to pass the time, it dug up the corpses of those evil dragons and used the hardest bones from their bodies, mixed with the top-quality materials it had collected, to forge seven peerless divine weapons.
Later, Belserion felt that sharpness and hardness alone were not enough, so he found seven powerful dragon hearts from the corpses of those evil dragons, whose power had not yet faded.
It will use the "Enchanting Technique" to perfectly fuse the seven dragon hearts with the seven swords, giving the swords the power of dragons and turning them into seven magical weapons for "dragon slaying".
It took Berserion about 100 years to finally complete his work, and he was satisfied with giving the seven swords a nice collective name – "The Seven Dragon Slayers".
The Seven Dragon Slayers are:
The Broken Army Blade: A straight, long blade without a hilt, its body a cold gray. It is infused with the "Heart of the Blade Dragon" and is the most direct and purest destructive blade among the Seven Dragon Slayers.
Giant Gate Sword: A massive, black sword as big as a door panel, with a "gravity dragon heart" integrated into it, allowing the weight of the sword to change according to the wielder's will, from as light as a feather to as heavy as a mountain.
Rainbow Swords: A set of seven crystal-clear glass flying swords, each shimmering with the colors red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The power of the "Rainbow Dragon" allows them to form a powerful sword formation.
Demon Death Sword: A slender white rapier that uses the "Dead Eye Dragon's" ability to consume magic to leave a "death point" on the opponent. Striking the "death point" will cause damage.
The Sword of Royal Power: A golden spiral longsword, fused with the "Heart of the Balanced Dragon," it can establish "fairness" in battle, forcing the power of both sides to be equal for a certain period of time.
Greedy Wolf Blade: A hideous, dark blood-red greatsword that continuously enhances its physical damage as the battle progresses. This is the only ability granted to it by the "Berserker Dragon Heart".
Galaxy Blade: A semi-transparent curved blade with a blade that resembles a flowing galaxy. It possesses the characteristic of storing starlight, which is then unleashed during battle, similar to the "Starlight Dragon".
Under Belserion's guidance, Erza successfully established a magical connection with the seven swords, as if the divine weapons had recognized their master. From then on, only she could use the "Seven Dragon Slayers".
"Seven Dragon Slayers" has both high numerical values and a robust mechanic.
But great power always comes with risks.
The seven weapons require powerful magic to operate, otherwise they cannot unleash their true power, but this is not the most important drawback.
Because Belserion used seven dragon hearts to forge the Seven Weapons, he did not dispel the remaining consciousness within the hearts in order to preserve the dragons' power characteristics during the forging process.
After the weapons were finished being made, Bercelion forgot about it.
In other words, although Erza obtained the seven Dragon Slayer weapons, she still needs to spend time subduing them one by one, or eliminating the remaining will of the evil dragons in the "Seven Dragon Slayers".
Watching Erza store the seven weapons into the space built into her "Costume Change" magic, Hope was practically drooling with envy.
He really wants magical weapons and such...
Seeing the human boy drooling over the "Seven Dragon Slayers," Belserion chuckled. "Stop looking. Your magic power is too low. You can't possibly wield a weapon as powerful as the Seven Dragon Slayers."
Hope's expression froze.
Shivering with cold, when will these weak mages be able to stand up again?
Bercelion looked at Hope, having been watching this group of humans ever since they entered the forest. It had only wanted to see its best friend's daughter, but this human boy named Hope had given it an unexpected surprise.
Despite his weak magical power, he possesses multiple different types of magic. How interesting! I really want to tie him to an experimental table and study him thoroughly...
Belserion is called the "Wise Dragon" not only because of his extensive knowledge and exceptional magical research talent, but also because he is a research fanatic.
Feeling the dragon's gaze, as if he were looking at a lab rat, Hope felt a chill run down her neck and immediately hid behind Erza. "Erza, why do I feel like your wise dragon uncle is looking at me a little weird? Should we find an excuse to leave?"
"Hey, don't you know that dragons have very sensitive hearing?"
Belserion stared at the human boy who had been whispering bad things about him, exhaling two hot breaths from his nostrils. "You brat, since you comforted Erza, you can ask me for a wish, and I'll try my best to grant it."
Hope's eyes lit up, and without even thinking, she blurted out, "My wish is to have ten more wishes!"
Boom!
Erza withdrew her hand, which was still a little numb from the shock, and looked at Hope, who was grimacing and clutching his head beside her. "Do you think Uncle Belserion is a wish-granting machine? Stop trying to be clever."
Rubbing his head, Hope, now obedient, told Belserion his wish, "Senior, I would like to ask you to bestow your power upon me."
Imbuing humans with the power of dragons—this was the original Dragon Slayer Magic.
Belserion pondered, "Does this human boy want to become a 'Holy Dragon Slayer Mage' like Irene, using its power?"
After a moment's thought, Belserion granted Hope's request, but still reminded him, "While Dragon Slayer Mages can consume magic of the same attribute to restore their magic power and stamina, I am a Holy attribute, and magic of this attribute is very rare."
"It's not too late to change your wish now."
Hope smiled slightly, "Thank you for the reminder, senior, but I want to become a Dragon Slayer Mage not just for the benefits of Dragon Slayer Magic."
Upon hearing this, Belserion understood that the boy was perfectly aware of the situation, so he stopped trying to persuade him. With a flick of its dragon claw, Hope's body flew uncontrollably in front of it.
Belserion extended his claws, and a massive enchantment expanded from the center of his claws.
Following Belserion's instructions, Hope passed his hand through the added magic circle and touched the giant dragon's claw. Instantly, faint specks of light surged from the dragon's body, passing through the magic circle and entering the boy's body.
There was no pain from the body modification he had imagined. A warm feeling instantly invaded Hope's limbs and bones. He could feel the powerful force unique to the dragon race merging with him.
And the system notification sound arrived at the same time as Hope had expected.
【ding~】
[The host has come into contact with extraordinary power—'Enchanted Technique']
[Analysis in progress—]
[Analysis complete. The estimated time required to crack the 'Additional Technique' is 50 days. The cheat slot has been automatically placed in the host's available slot.]
Hope's lips curled into an involuntary smile; everything was going according to plan.
What they actually wanted was the "Enchanting Spell," a spell that could be considered a conceptual existence; anything imaginable could be "enchanted."
However, Hope knew that with his magical aptitude, he was simply not cut out for 'Enchanting'. So he had Belserion cast 'Enchanting' to grant him Dragon Slayer Magic.
The system will automatically register the "Enchanting Spell" once you come into contact with Belserion, who is casting it.
Plan pass.
Silently reciting this classic line from "Death Note," Hope, despite their vastly different IQs, now also experienced the joy of Light Yagami.
About half an hour later, as the magic circle dissipated, Hope landed slowly, the white-gold light emanating from her body being the radiance of dragon-slaying magic.
“Congratulations on mastering another spell,” Erza said to Hope, genuinely happy for her.
Hope responded to Erza with a smile, then looked up at Belserion, who was still unaware that he had been taken advantage of, and said, "Senior, thank you for teaching me magic. I will definitely carry on the legacy of the 'Holy Dragon Slayer'."
"That's not necessary."
Berserion didn't even glance at Hope, but instead looked at Erza with a kind expression. "Child, I originally wanted to teach you 'Enchanting Spell,' but you're not suited for this magic, so you can take this."
A platinum crystal landed in Erza's hand, and she looked at her wise dragon uncle with confusion.
Bercelion explained, "This is the 'Holy Dragon Slayer Crystal' made from my own heart. Once it is integrated into your body, with your aptitude, you will soon be able to master the 'Holy Dragon Slayer' magic."
Hope, who was still gloating over her plan to kill two birds with one stone, was stunned when she heard this.
No wonder he's Queen Irene's best male friend; he really treats Erza like his own daughter...
Erza wanted to refuse, but seeing Belserion's kind eyes, she swallowed her words and accepted the Dragon Slayer Crystal.
While helping Erza integrate the Dragon Slayer Crystal into her body, Belserion said, "Dragon Slayer Mages can't consume their own magic. If you need to replenish your magic power, you can exchange with that brat and consume each other's Dragon Slayer Magic."
Hope and Erza were both taken aback by these words.
Is this even possible?!
As expected of someone who worked with Eileen to develop the "Enchanting Spell" and "Dragon Slayer" magic, his mind works faster than theirs.
Watching Erza fuse with the Dragon Slayer Crystal, Hope couldn't help but joke, "Dragon Slayer Magic in your left hand, Dragon Slayer Weapon in your right, I think Erza, you shouldn't be called 'Fairy Queen' anymore, you should just be called 'Dragon Slayer Queen'."
