Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

As expected, Lucy, the maid, failed her job application, so they ultimately chose to "infiltrate."

However, as expected, an unexpected event occurred.

The mercenaries hired by the Duke as security guards discovered Natsu and Lucy's intrusion, and they ended up causing a huge scene in the mansion.

Natsu beat up two mercenaries, helped Lucy defeat the Duke who also used Celestial Spirit Magic, and then successfully took away the novel that the client had requested to be destroyed.

Upon returning to their client, they learned that the novel's author was the client's father, who had been imprisoned by the Duke and forced to write a novel that was a stain on his life. In the end, he even cut off his own arm and died in despair.

This is why the client wanted to destroy the novel.

However, Lucy discovers that the novel has been subjected to a "text replacement" spell, and the hidden content is actually a book written by a father to his son.

Because the novel was not destroyed as requested, Natsu unilaterally refused the client's payment, as he realized the client did not have enough money to pay.

After blowing up the Duke's mansion and beating up the Duke, Natsu's team got nothing but offending people.

Seeing Erza raise her hand towards him with a serious expression, Natsu thought he was about to get beaten up again, so he and Happy instinctively covered their heads and squatted down.

Chapter 58 The Shattered Guild

"Natsu, you guys... did a good job."

Erza's words surprised Natsu and Lucy, who wanted to plead for mercy. She smiled and continued, "Since that duke is not a good person, let's just beat him up. As long as no innocent people suffer losses, that's fine."

"Let the chairman handle the follow-up issues."

Watching this scene, Hope finally understood why Makarov was losing so much hair, and couldn't help but silently mourn for the old man for three seconds.

A doting patriarch, burdened with such a bunch of unruly kids, hasn't even lost all his hair from worry. It seems Makarov's stress isn't too great after all...

Just as Hope's thoughts were drifting away, Happy suddenly remembered something because of the review, and looked at Lucy with a smug expression.

"Lucy, I have some good stuff for you."

Lucy gave Happy a suspicious look. What else could this blue cat, who loved to eat fish, possibly treasure?

Immediately afterward, amidst Lucy's puzzled expression, Happy pulled out a golden Celestial Key with a Virgo design on it.

Lucy's eyes widened the moment she saw Happy pull out the golden key. When she fought the Duke, he used this Celestial Key to summon the Virgo Celestial to fight her.

"Why are you in this key?!"

Happy scratched the cat's head. "After you and Natsu defeated that short, stout duke, that maid Celestial gave me the key and told me to give it to you."

Is it the Protoss's own will...?

Hope watched as Lucy excitedly formed a contract with the Virgo Celestial Spirit on the spot, and couldn't help but marvel at the luck of the "female protagonist".

She obtained the Sagittarius and Virgo keys, two of the twelve zodiac celestial spirit keys, which were unique in the world, not long after joining the guild. The Virgo celestial spirit even came to her on its own.

In addition to the three golden keys that Lucy already possessed—Aquarius, Cancer, and Taurus—she, at only 17 years old, has already formed contracts with nearly half of the golden celestial spirits on her own.

Lucy's future potential is undoubtedly limitless.

The group entered Magnolia chatting and laughing, but as they passed through the town gate, Hope noticed that there were twice as many guards as usual.

This only happens during holidays or when dangerous individuals are present in the city.

I asked Erza and Natsu, and they said there weren't any holidays worth celebrating in Magnolia recently. As for the martial law... well, where in this city could there be anyone more dangerous than their Fairy Tail mages?

Curious, Hope turned back and approached a guard, asking, "Hey buddy, what's been going on lately?"

The guard initially didn't want to talk to him, but after glancing at the guild crest on Hope's arm, he immediately spoke up, "You're a Fairy Tail mage? You'd better go back and check on things; something's happened to your guild."

Upon hearing the guard's words, the group, who had been in good spirits, became tense and ran towards the guild located in the center of the street.

However, the closer they got to the guild, the heavier their hearts became, because they saw that the guild had been smashed through by several huge iron pillars.

"They actually attacked Fairy Tail!"

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

Upon arriving outside the guild, Natsu's explosive temper was almost out of control. He had been a member of Fairy Tail for seven years and had long considered this place his home.

Erza joined the guild a year earlier than Natsu. Seeing the place where she grew up destroyed like this, even she, who is usually calm, could not suppress her anger.

Lucy and Happy were also startled by the shocking scene before them.

Only Hope's expression remained unchanged. Upon seeing this scene, he suspected that it was the work of the "Spectre Rulers".

Thor, the Phantom Mage who ordered his original body to infiltrate Fairy Tail, clearly stated in his last letter that Phantoms had the ambition to destroy Fairy Tail.

Hope was puzzled at the time, as the Magic Council forbade armed conflict between orthodox guilds, so how could the Phantom Lords dare to think of such a thing?

But now it seems that they not only dared to think about it, but also put it into action.

"Let's go inside."

Hope pushed open the half-closed door and was greeted by a hall whose floor had been smashed through by a huge iron pillar.

At this moment, only Mirajane and Elfman, who had helped her move her things, were in the hall. When they saw Hope and the others return, the worry on Mirajane's face immediately disappeared.

"Welcome back, everyone. How did the mission go?"

"If you want to rest, the only place you can go is the underground warehouse..."

Seeing Mirajane's forced smile, Erza interrupted her and asked directly, "Who did it?"

"Who else could it be but the 'Spectre Ruler'?" Elfman replied, his burly face etched with annoyance.

Hope's heart skipped a beat; it really was them.

The group arrived at the guild's underground warehouse, which was now being used as a temporary hall. Fortunately, the warehouse was no smaller than the hall, and after being connected to the magic lighting, it actually looked quite nice.

Almost all the members looked worried, and the atmosphere was very heavy.

Upon seeing the group of people who had come down, the once lifeless temporary hall immediately became lively.

"Natsu...you guys are finally back."

"We haven't been able to sleep well these past few days, fearing that those bastards, the Ghosts, will come and attack us again."

"Exactly! Why can Phantoms break the rules!"

"We're going to fight back!"

"Erza, let's charge together!"

"..."

Erza, unusually, didn't scold the noisy crowd. She was also very angry, but retaliating against the Phantom Lord was not something she could decide.

Hope and Erza find Makarov drinking alone in silence.

The old man had been looking worried, seemingly troubled by the cost of repairing the guild, but upon seeing the two people sitting across the table, he immediately put on a smiling face.

"You're back. Professor Booker from the History Guild sent you a letter of thanks yesterday. You did a great job on this mission and didn't let Fairy Tail down."

Neither Erza nor Hope were in the mood to listen to Makarov's praise.

Hope asked directly, "Guild Master, the Spectres have openly attacked us, a fellow orthodox guild. What does the council intend to do about them?"

Makarov's face darkened. "The council said there's no evidence that the Phantom Lord mage sabotaged our guild, so..."

Hope's expression turned serious.

The mages who rule the Phantom Lord have always acted arrogantly.

Even he knew that there was a lawless "Iron Dragon Slayer" in Phantom Lord, so how could the council that oversees the Mage Guild not know?

Such bias is blatant; they're not even bothering to pretend anymore.

Chapter 59 "The Weakest Squad"

Makarov had no intention of retaliating against the Phantom Lord.

After all, the council has already openly helped the other side. Taking the initiative at this time would undoubtedly give the council a reason to deal with their own guild.

If those idiots in the council happen to pin the blame for starting a guild war on Fairy Tail, that would be a real problem.

So Makarov chose to just bear with it and let it pass.

The guild members all understood Makarov's good intentions; otherwise, these violent individuals would have already attacked the Phantom Lord, instead of lingering in the temporary hall sighing and lamenting.

Seeing that Chairman Makarov had already made his decision, Hope and Erza could say nothing more and could only accept it.

Because of the guild's sabotage, everyone was very upset and didn't even feel like drinking to drown their sorrows. So, as evening approached, everyone dispersed, some going home and others returning to their dorms.

Hope was soon the only one left in the entire guild.

He was lucky; his room wasn't damaged by those large iron pillars and was still habitable.

Lying in bed, Hope opened the system panel and counted the spells he had obtained through system hacking: Wings, Divine Footwork, Wood Shape, Plant, Curse Kill, Receive, Arc of the Tree, Arc of Time... a total of 8 spells.

Unlocking 10 extraordinary powers will unlock the last unlock slot and the system's final "self-analysis" function.

Hope plans to use the last two spells today to unlock all the system functions.

The magic tricks used to crack the system now are:

The "True Moon Godslayer" magic has 352 days remaining.

'Additional Spell' has 43 days remaining.

The extraordinary abilities yet to be unlocked are: magnetic field power (97 years) and 'card' magic (15 days).

Hope thought for a moment and decided to speed up the process of deciphering the 'Enchanting Spell' and 'Card' magic.

The "Enchanting Spell" is very powerful and practical. It is a top-tier spell for both combat and support, and it would be best to get it as soon as possible.

As for the 'card' magic, Hope only chose it to make up the numbers.

Although this magic is an all-around magic that combines offense, defense, and support, it unfortunately relies too much on magic cards, and powerful magic cards are extremely rare in this world.

Hope plans to make her own magic cards after she becomes proficient in "Enchanting Spells," so she can use them herself or sell them to Cana as a shrewd businessman.

Getting up and taking out the magic crystal from under the bed, Hope issued a command to the system, "System, speed up the deciphering of 'card' magic and 'enchantment'."

As the 58 magic crystals dimmed, the system's voice popped up.
