Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

Hope dispelled the transformation magic and dragged Gajeel, who had been tormented to the point of unconsciousness, into Makarov's house.

A ladle of cold water was splashed on my face.

Gajeel immediately regained consciousness.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the man who had left him with such a deep-seated trauma. "Let me tell you! No matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, I will never submit to you, you despicable bastard!"

"Tch, you said it yourself. Fine, I'll force-feed you two pounds of croton oil first. Don't blame me if you poop in your pants later..."

Erza slapped Hope, who was rummaging through the seed bag, against the wall. "Why are you carrying croton seeds around?"

Hope spread her hands innocently, "I was just trying to scare him. No normal person would carry croton seeds with them, let alone the seeds."

"However... I have some stinky flower seeds here. It's said that this flower is incredibly ugly when it blooms."

"And there's itchy grass, laughing flower, weeping-leaf tree, lily lotus..."

"That's enough!" ×2

Makarov and Erza each punched Hope, sending him flying out of the window.

As Hope pulled out more and more bizarre magical plant seeds, not only was Gajeel already drenched in sweat, but even Makarov and Erza were frightened.

It's all stuff that's a pain to deal with, even including lilies that can force a person's sexual orientation to change to the same sex in a short period of time.

This guy's heart is so dirty!

After calming down, Makarov sat on the sofa. To his left was Erza, who was wiping her longsword, and to his right was Hope, who had just rolled back.

"You know my methods. Using these things on you won't kill you, but you'll definitely cry. When people cry, they'll speak their true feelings."

Hope tossed the seed bag aside, leaned back on the sofa, and looked sharply at Gajeel. "Speak, you have at least three things to tell us."

Gajeel's face turned extremely ugly.

He was only bound by a vine, making it incredibly easy for him to break free. But facing him were Makarov, one of the Ten Wizard Saints, Erza, the Fairy Queen, and that utterly cunning bastard.

There are probably no more than ten people on this continent who could run away in front of these three.

Gajeel knew very well that he was not among them.

so......

Taking a deep breath, Gajeel said, "I'm the one who destroyed your guild."

“Not that sentence.” Hope shook her head.

Gajeel swallowed hard. "I shouldn't have attacked your companions."

Hope said coldly, "That's not it either."

Gajeel's face stiffened. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a resigned expression, "Lord Joseph... he plans to use that woman named Lucy as a trigger to launch a war against Fairy Tail and completely annihilate you."

Hope beamed with joy; he had finally heard what he wanted.

"Stop kneeling on the ground, get up and explain in detail."

Chapter 63 The Ghost's Plan

Over 100 years ago, a dark guild called "Blue Skull" took over Magnolia and ruthlessly purged and persecuted the orthodox guilds and ordinary people around them who dared to resist them.

But the Magic Council, which always prides itself on being the maintainer of order in the magical world, seemed to be blind to this dark guild that dared to commit violence in broad daylight, and did nothing at all.

The Magnolia residents' pleas for help were ignored not only by the council but also by the Fiore Kingdom, to which they belonged.

After all... the "Blue Skull" has been paying taxes on time while occupying Magnolia.

It wasn't until the original four members of Fairy Tail appeared that the evil of the "Blue Skull" was ended, and peace was restored to the residents of Magnolia.

Later, when the original four members established Fairy Tail in Magnolia, the Blue Skull Guild Master, who had managed to escape, also came ashore and redeemed himself in the same year, establishing Phantom Lord.

From then on, eliminating Fairy Tail became the wish of every leader of Phantom Lord.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. For nearly 100 years since its founding, Phantom Lords has always been inferior to Fairy Tail, and every time they clashed, they were either brutally beaten or thoroughly humiliated.

The situation only improved after the council issued a regulation prohibiting armed conflict between orthodox guilds.

Since Joseph became one of the Ten Wizard Saints six years ago, and was defeated in a conflict with Makarov at the Chairman's meeting, he has remained secluded.

Joseph wasn't defeated by Makarov; rather, he sensed that Makarov was getting old and his strength had declined, so he was conserving his power, waiting for an opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Fairy Tail.

And this opportunity, now, six years later, has come knocking on our door.

Jude Heartfilia, the renowned head of the Heartfilia Foundation, comes to the Phantom Lords to issue a request, asking them to bring back his runaway daughter, Lucy Heartfilia.

Upon learning that Lucy had recently joined Fairy Tail, Jose was overjoyed. He used the excuse of completing a quest to attack Fairy Tail. Even the Magic Council could only criticize him and at most fine him a little.

But Joseph's ambitions didn't stop there. The accumulated resources of the Phantom Lords over the years made him feel that he was ready to fulfill the wishes of his predecessors.

He wanted to take this opportunity to wipe out Fairy Tail in one fell swoop.

The biggest obstacle to this goal is Makarov, who, despite his age, is still a force to be reckoned with.

So Jose sent his capable henchman Gajeel to Magnolia to destroy Fairy Tail's guild buildings and attack Fairy Tail's mages, in order to provoke the protective old man and lure him to Phantom Lord.

If successful, Makarov will fall into the trap that Joseph has carefully prepared for him. Even a "Ten" Wizard will be doomed once he falls into the trap.

Without Makarov, Fairy Tail would be no match for Joseph.

Whether it's under the pretext of "bringing Lucy back" or "counterattack in a guild war," the Phantom Lords will seize this opportunity to wipe out Fairy Tail in one fell swoop.

This was Joseph's entire plan.

Having laid everything bare, Gajeru slowly exhaled. His actions had already betrayed Joseph, but for some reason, he felt much more at ease.

"Hope, thank you."

Makarov's heavy voice rang out. He knew that if Hope hadn't happened to be passing by that night, Levy and the other two, who had fallen into Gajeel's hands, would have been seriously injured.

To avenge his child, he would certainly not tolerate it any longer and might lead his men to storm the Phantom Lord's headquarters that very day, which would be exactly what Joseph wanted.

According to the information provided by Gajeel, Aria, the air elemental and leader of the Phantom Four Elements, possesses a magic that can extract all the magical energy from a person's body.

In this world, all humans, whether they are mages or not, possess magical power within them, the only difference being the amount.

Once all the magic power in one's body is extracted, one will be in mortal danger.

As long as the enraged Makarov is distracted by Joseph, Aria, who uses 'wind' magic, has a very high chance of successfully ambushing him with this move.

Makarov couldn't imagine what would happen to the guild after he fell into their trap; the other member of the guild who could rival Joseph hadn't returned for three years.

"President, we're all family, there's no need for thanks. Without your shelter, I don't know where I'd be drifting now."

Hope chuckled. "Why don't we give them a taste of their own medicine? We can have Lucy handed over to the Phantom Lord, and then use their kidnapping of Fairy Tail members as an excuse to teach the Phantom Lord a lesson."

"A good suggestion."

Erza spoke up: "But the problem is, even if Lucy agrees, who should hand Lucy over to the Phantom Lords so that they don't become suspicious?"

Makarov looked at Gajeel and said, "Why don't we let him go? I don't think the kid is a bad person at heart; he's just been led astray by Joseph."

"No." ×2

Hope and Erza both rejected Makarov's proposal. Although the old man was usually very good at judging people, they dared not gamble on Gajeel's corrupted nature.

Makarov clearly knew this was a bad idea, and sighed helplessly, "If only Mirajane hadn't gotten into trouble. She's an expert in transformation magic. If she had disguised herself as Gajeel and taken Lucy to Phantom Lord, she could have secretly protected Lucy's safety."

Erza calmly said, "Let's not put Lucy at risk. It's not like we don't have the strength to fight Phantom Lord fair and square."

Makarov nodded in agreement, "Ultimately, Hope's plan doesn't have a suitable candidate."

"I disagree with that."

Hope stood up, faced Makarov and Erza, and smiled, "Since it was my plan, it's best for me to carry it out."

Erza stared at the man in front of her suspiciously. "Hope, don't tell me you can use transformation magic."

Hope shook her head, the smile on her face gradually fading. "Actually... I came tonight to confess something to the president."

Makarov looked puzzled. "What is it? Why do you need to see me alone so late at night?"

Hope took a deep breath. "I am Thor, one of the four elemental beings of Phantom Lord, a spy sent by Fairy Tail to infiltrate the area."

Chapter 64 Mission: Impossible

Hope's calm voice made Makarov and Erza stare in shock.

Erza, in particular, never imagined that the person she trusted so much would be a spy sent by a rival guild.

However, before the old man and the red-haired girl could ask any questions, Gajeel's firm denial rang out.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

Gajeel stared intently at Hope. He had grown up in the Phantom Lords guild and couldn't possibly have missed anyone who had joined it.

Dragon Slayers have a keen sense of smell; if this despicable bastard in front of them were truly a member of Phantom Lord, he would definitely have some recollection of him.

"It's entirely possible."

Hope shrugged. "Who said I'm a member of your Spectres? According to Thor, I'll only be recommended to join the Spectres after I complete my undercover mission."

"To put it simply, I'm just a poor temporary worker who's been given empty promises by someone who's not even a teammate yet..."

just you?

Still pitiful?

Three disdainful gazes fell squarely on Hope. The temporary workers believed him, but this guy was actually pretending to be pitiful...

Not to mention Makarov and Erza, even Gajeel is now ready to fight.

Makarov pinched the bridge of his nose. In any case, it was a good thing that Hope was willing to reveal his identity to them, which meant that he recognized Fairy Tail.

Moreover, since Hope joined Fairy Tail, he has never done anything to betray the guild; on the contrary, he has provided assistance.

Therefore, Makarov did not intend to pursue the matter.

But Erza pressed on, "So, Hope, your amnesia was all an act, wasn't it? You deliberately appeared in front of Mirajane, who had lost her powers, and used her kindness to bring you into the guild."

Erza has fought with Mirajane quite a bit in the past, but that doesn't mean they have a bad relationship. If Hope really uses Mirajane, then Erza will definitely not approve of him.

Feeling the red-haired girl's gaze, Hope pointed three fingers to the sky and said, "I, Hope, swear to God that I have absolutely no intention of using Mirajane, because I really have amnesia."
