Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

At that moment, Erza walked over and said in a gossipy tone, "I found out that Gray was invited by Juvia to have some alone time with her."

"As for Levy, it's said that Gajeel apologized for attacking her last time. It was Juvia who suggested it, but I have a feeling that the two of them..."

Harpy suddenly popped his head out: "They've got something going on~" (with a rolled "r")

Erza nodded. "That's right."

Hope scratched his head, feeling that Erza seemed quite interested in other people's love lives. How did she develop this strange obsession with shipping couples...?

After queuing for another ten minutes or so, the group finally entered the resort.

First, everyone went to the luxury resort hotel to check in and drop off their luggage, then changed into beachwear or swimwear and headed straight to the resort's beach.

Upon stepping onto the pristine white sand, seeing the boundless blue sea before them, and the numerous tourists frolicking on the beach in light clothing, Natsu and Happy simultaneously exclaimed in awe, their eyes turning into stars.

After all, this was the first time in their lives, and in their cat lives, that they had ever been to such a high-class place.

"This is Akani Beach! It's amazing!" Lucy instantly cleared her mind of any complaints and eagerly plunged into the embrace of the sea.

Gray was finally able to take off his clothes openly without being stopped, but unfortunately, when he got to the part where he was taking off his pants, Makarov punched him to the ground...

Seeing Gray's muscular upper body, Juvia's eyes immediately turned into hearts, and pink bubbles of love seemed to float around them. "Lord Gray~ Juvia can finally spend some time alone with you..."

Fellow members from surrounding guilds: Are we even human...?

Gajeel stood awkwardly with his hands in his pockets, and Levy tried to ease his embarrassment, "Um, Mr. Gajeel, thank you for inviting me to such an expensive place for a vacation. You've gone to so much trouble."

"Enough nonsense. I used to be Phantom Lord's ace. Do you think I'd be short of money?" Gajeel replied gruffly, but his eyes kept glancing elsewhere, avoiding Levy's gaze.

Just then, a familiar, energetic voice rang out across the beach: "Since it's the beach, it should be a beach volleyball match!"

"Gray! Gajeel! Come and fight me!"

Seeing the beach volleyball that Natsu had somehow acquired, Gray and Gajeel were immediately ignited with fighting spirit and instantly started using their respective triangle beach volleyballs.

The two female companions who were left behind had different expressions.

Levy is alright, but Juvia already sees Natsu and Gajeel as rivals in love. It just goes to show that the thought process of someone in love is beyond the comprehension of normal people...

Erza had changed into a very beautiful blue two-piece swimsuit, still looking as dashing as ever. She watched the three people in the distance gradually turning into a deadly volleyball match, sighed helplessly, but unusually indulged them this time.

"Honestly, it all started as soon as we got to the beach." Mirajane's voice was as gentle as ever. She was wearing an elegant white swimsuit and holding a glass of chilled juice, smiling at everyone.

Kana, holding the hotel's provided drinks, exclaimed, "The beach is definitely best enjoyed with drinks!"

Erza moved a beach chair over and put it together with Mirajane and Kana, only to suddenly realize that she hadn't seen someone since arriving at the beach.

Have you seen Hope?

Mirajane shook her head, but Kana provided an important piece of information: "I saw him go to the casino in the hotel's basement. The guy said he'd never been to a casino in his life, so he was a little curious."

"Is that so...?"

Erza felt a little disappointed, as she had specifically worn her prettiest swimsuit. But then again, it seemed like Kana and Mirajane had also put thought into their outfits today.

The three of them exchanged glances subconsciously, and then an inexplicable atmosphere gradually formed. To lighten the mood, Mirajane smiled and said, "How about... we go play some volleyball?"

“But there are only three of us,” Kana said, indicating her refusal.

Erza, however, had a different opinion: "Then let's learn Natsu and the others' triangle volleyball."

"Murderous volleyball, huh... Interesting."

Mirajane gave a wicked smile, meeting Erza's battle-ready gaze; sparks seemed to fly between their eyes. Seeing Erza and Mirajane's increasingly imposing aura, Cana suddenly snapped out of her daze.

Erza is one thing, but Mirajane, didn't you turn back into a normal person? What's with this aura...?

Playing volleyball with them might really kill you!

Kana, trying to be discreet, got up, but as soon as she turned around, two hands grabbed her shoulders simultaneously, and Mirajane and Erza dragged her towards the beach, one on each side...

At the same time, Hope, who was wandering around the underground casino of the hotel, watched a gambling table for a long time before finally deciding to go up and play a couple of rounds.

It wasn't that he was particularly enthusiastic about gambling; it was mainly because the dark-skinned male dealer who dealt the cards was quite interesting.

As the dark-skinned dealer saw Hope sit down and was about to deal the cards, he was drawn to the guild crest on Hope's left forearm. "Excuse me, are you a Fairy Tail mage?"

Hope nodded. "Yes, do you have a question?"

"Haha, there is indeed a problem."

The dealer named Hugh's expression twisted slightly. "Can you tell me... where is Erza?"

Chapter 95 The Companion Abandoned by "Her"

When did Erza get a younger brother?

Neither the hair color nor the skin tone matches at all.

Moreover, the other person's expression and tone were clearly off.

Hope leaned back in her chair, feigning nonchalance, her fingers lightly tapping the table, a subtle magic flowing within her, ready to strike at any moment.

"You know Erza?"

Hugh's lips curled into a cold smile, his voice filled with resentment, "We're more than just acquaintances, we're... the 'companions' whose futures were destroyed by her own hands."

"We trusted her so much! But she abandoned us and is living a happy life outside!"

Hugh suddenly became agitated, raising his voice and drawing the attention of customers at several nearby gambling tables, as well as the casino's security guards.

"Hey! How dare you yell at the guests like that?"

"Wait, I've never seen you before. Are you new here..." Before he could finish speaking, a magic card accurately hit the security guard, and the large, living person vanished instantly.

Hugh caught the magic card that flew back and showed Hope its contents. "If you don't want him to die, tell me honestly where Erza is."

This dark-skinned man is also a card mage.

Hope's gaze sharpened as he saw a small figure calling for help on the card in the man's hand; it resembled the security guard who had just disappeared.

The idea of ​​storing humans in cards is unbelievable.

Hope sighed slightly. He had really underestimated the magic of 'cards' before. He never thought that it could be used as a storage space for magic cards. Indeed, there is no such thing as useless magic in this world.

Seeing Hope sigh, Hugh assumed the hostage had worked and continued, "Tell me where Erza is. I don't want to kill anyone. Don't make things difficult for me."

"Difficult to do?"

"Then don't do it."

Hope chuckled and flipped the gambling table over. At the same time, he shot out and kicked Hugh in the chest before Hugh could react, taking the magic card with him.

The hall instantly erupted in chaos, with guests exclaiming in surprise and scattering in all directions.

Hugh scrambled to his feet, his face grim. "Even if you take the card, what good will it do? No one but me can break this spell..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the security guard, who had been inside the card, fell to the ground with a thud. He returned to his original state, thanked Hope, and quickly disappeared.

After all, a security guard is just an employee, earning only tens of thousands of yuan a month. Why risk his life?

Hope looked at Hugh, who had a blank expression, and waved the blank card in her hand. "Actually, I'm also a card mage. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't have known that this magic has a lot of potential for development."

"By the way, what did you just say?"

Hugh's face darkened as he stared intently at the blank card in Hope's hand. The function he had painstakingly developed through years of practicing card magic had been so easily learned by the other party.

Hope casually tossed the card aside, his eyes sharpening. He didn't believe Erza would do anything to betray her companions, but the dark-skinned man in front of him clearly had something to do with Erza.

"Now, tell me what you really want from Erza? And who are you referring to as 'we'?"

"Don't underestimate me!" Hugh gritted his teeth, pulled out three magic cards from his pocket and threw them into the air. The cards transformed into dozens of firebirds that flew straight at Hope.

Hope simply raised her hand, and 'Frostweave' instantly wove a dense, impenetrable net that fell, extinguishing the flock of firebirds and pinning Hugh firmly to the ground.

"How could this happen..." Hugh stared in disbelief as his three cards were torn to shreds by the icy net.

Hope approached step by step. "I'll ask you one last time, what do you want with Erza? What do you intend to do to her?"

Just then, the empty underground casino was suddenly covered by a pitch-black darkness. When the darkness dissipated, three figures emerged from different directions and surrounded Hope with Hugh.

Hope glanced at it.

A man in a suit who looks like a blocky person, a burly man with an iron chin, and a girl with cat ears and a cat tail.

Hugh shouted to the burly man, "Simon, this guy is tough. I'm no match for him."

The burly man named Simon remained remarkably calm.

Instead, Wally, the blocky guy, said to Hugh, "Look what he's holding?"

Hope then noticed that a rope had been wrapped around his wrist at some point. He frowned, realizing that he could no longer mobilize the magic within his body.

Hugh's face lit up with joy. The rope was the embodiment of the catwoman Miliana's magic, "Cat." Once bound by the rope, one could no longer use magic.

"Well done, Miriam!"

Hearing her companion's praise, Catwoman chuckled. Simon had just used the magic "Dark Moment" to completely cover the casino in darkness, and she had taken the opportunity to put the rope around Hope's hand.

"Hmph! Stop dawdling."

Wally, the blocky guy, had a terrible temper. He used magic to turn his arm into a large-caliber gun and aimed it at Hope. "Tell us where Erza is, or I'll blow your head off."

Miliana the catwoman leaned forward as well, "You're surrounded. If you tell the truth, we promise we won't hurt you."

Hope sighed and said calmly, "You've got one thing wrong. It's not that you've surrounded me, but that I've surrounded the four of you."

Hugh took out a blank card from his clothes. "Stop talking big. What's the difference between a mage who can't use magic and an ordinary person?"

“There’s more to this world than just magic,” Hope shrugged. “You’re in luck today; I’m going to show you a power beyond our comprehension.”

As Hope finished speaking, an invisible sound wave immediately spread out, and Miriamia suddenly covered her ears and fell to the ground in pain.

Simon quickly helped her up and asked with concern, "Miriana, are you alright... ugh—"

The burly man felt a terrifying force invade deep into his body, and the intense pain instantly rendered him unable to move.

The square-shaped man and Hugh both fell down at the same time.

Simon, pale-faced, looked at Hope, the only one still standing. He knew without a doubt that the variable was from the guy in front of him. "Damn it, what did you do!"

"It's nothing, just a small activation of 'Curse Kill'. Don't worry, I'm holding back, I won't let you die."

Seeing the four weakened individuals, Hope witnessed firsthand the power of Lalabai's demonic spell.

"Curse Kill" may not mean much to powerful mages, but it is a deadly death curse for ordinary mages and common people.
