Fairy Tail: All Magic Converges in One Body

On the luxurious sailboat borrowed from the resort hotel, Hope lounged leisurely in a deck chair, sipping a cold drink made by Mirajane, thoroughly enjoying himself.

On the small round table to the side, Happy was fiddling with two magic cards, looking at the two little figures inside and excitedly exclaiming, "Hey! Natsu really didn't get motion sickness!"

"You damn blue cat! Stop swaying around like that!"

A rough voice came from one of the cards; it was Gajeel, who was being shaken dizzy by Happy. Natsu, also on another card, was being shaken so badly by Happy that he was seeing stars.

It turns out that in order to prevent Natsu and Gajeel from being nearly killed by the side effects of Dragon Slayer Magic, Hope used the ability he instantly learned from Hugh to put Natsu and Gajeel into blank cards.

Sure enough, after entering the card space, even after the ship had sailed quite a distance, they never experienced any symptoms of motion sickness.

"unfair!"

Natsu protested to Hope, "Why can Erza be healed by your Enhancement Technique, while we can only stay inside cards!"

"Hope, you value your girlfriend more than your friends!"

Looking at the menacing Natsu card in Happy's hand, Hope was taken aback and said with a surprised expression, "Me, a colorist?"

Natsu crossed his arms: "That's right!"

Hope pointed to himself and continued, "And I'm a frivolous friend?"

Natsu nodded emphatically: "That's it!"

Seeing this, Gajeel, who had originally wanted to join the protest, immediately became obedient. Although his title was Iron Dragon, when it came to being stubborn, Gajeel would call Natsu the strongest.

Doesn't he know that Hope is a petty person...?

Sure enough, the next second Hope snatched the Natsu Card from Happy's hand and, with a wicked grin, used a transformation spell to add four wheels to the card.

Natsu immediately knelt down and slid down, "Lord Hope, I was being ignorant just now. Please be magnanimous and treat me like Happy."

Happy standing to the side: Am I really that useless...?

Hope nodded. "Natsu, I still prefer your arrogant self from earlier. Please revert to your previous defiance."

Upon hearing this, Natsu assumed that Hope had let him off the hook and immediately resumed his previous arrogant demeanor.

"Huh? You actually did it?"

Hope changed the subject abruptly, grinning mischievously as she launched the card car containing Natsu away. The card car slid a short distance on the deck before crashing into Cana's feet.

Cana looked down and was startled to see Natsu looking like he was about to die in the card. She quickly dispelled the spell and released him from the card.

That's right, Kana also mastered the ability to put objects or creatures into the card space. She learned it in just a few minutes. She's actually a genius.

Hugh, the developer of this feature, suffered two setbacks in a short period of time and is now sulking in a corner of the deck.

Natsu lay sprawled on the deck, the rocking of the ship making him even more uncomfortable. He could only weakly look at Cana, "Maybe... you should just put me back in the card..."

"No need, we'll be at our destination soon."

Erza came over and helped Natsu up. "If you can't hold on, I'll use my method to heal you first."

Natsu quickly said he was alright, and he really didn't want to go through Erza's method of treating motion sickness again, since what kind of kind person would just beat a patient unconscious?

However, Cana eventually won Natsu over with a card, not out of kindness, but because Natsu asked for a "high price" of 1000 J...

In the blink of an eye, the Tower of Paradise was almost in sight.

Looking around, everyone saw dozens of figures clad in armor and wielding spears moving back and forth outside the entrance of the hundred-meter-tall tower; they were clearly the guards of the Tower of Paradise.

There were sentries watching from the top of the tower.

With such a level of defense, let alone sneaking in, they would have been discovered in the short time it took them to get close.

Looking at the tower soldiers who had already assembled on the shore, even though she knew her side was incredibly powerful, the gentle-natured Levy still asked somewhat timidly:

"They look like there are a lot of them. Should we just attack them directly?"

Hope came to the front of the deck, glanced at the soldiers opposite who were obviously ordinary people, and suddenly remembered the famous scene of "the ship king" next door. He was suddenly in a dramatic mood.

"Who do you think we are? Move your boat closer!"

When Hope suddenly put on an act, everyone assumed he was just having another fit of madness and pretended not to notice, which made Hope extremely embarrassed.

Because Mirajane cannot use magic, for her safety, the group did not bring the ship ashore. Instead, they had Gray create an ice floor about twenty meters from the island to freeze the sea.

As the sea froze, everyone except Mirajane and Levy, who remained on the ship, waded across the ice and headed straight for the soldiers who were waiting on the shore.

"Halt! Who are you?!"

Although the group of people in front of him exuded an extraordinary aura, the captain of the guard still mustered his courage and shouted sharply, though the slightly trembling tip of his gun betrayed his nervousness.

Erza stepped forward, her long crimson hair fluttering in the sea breeze: "We are Fairy Tail mages! Get out of the way, our target is only Jellal!"

"It's...it's Fairy Tail!"

"That guild that's best at destruction!"

A commotion arose among the soldiers, and many began to retreat.

Hope chuckled and turned to Makarov, "It seems our reputation is even more widespread than we thought."

Makarov's lips twitched. He didn't want this kind of reputation at all. He glanced at the soldiers who were determined not to retreat and said, "They're just ordinary people. Everyone, be careful and don't kill them."

"learn!"

Natsu, who was released by Cana, was the first to rush out. With his thick skin and impulsive personality, he liked to be at the forefront when fighting enemies.

Gray followed closely behind, it seems that even when it comes to showing off, he has to compete with Natsu. It can only be said that they are mortal enemies since childhood.

"Fire Dragon—!"

"Ice Design—!"

The Ice and Fire Vanguard advanced with unstoppable momentum. The dozens of guards were no match for these two humanoid beasts. They were either blasted away or simply fell asleep.

Before the others could even make a move, none of the enemies outside the tower were still standing.

Chapter 100 The Not-So-Clever Birdman

Watching the enemies outside the tower being swiftly wiped out.

Gajeel, who had just been released from the card by Hope, was furious. "Those two bastards... they didn't even wait for me! I'll catch up in no time!"

Gajeel bypassed the ice and fire duo and charged into the tower. Seeing this, Gray and Natsu, not wanting to be left behind, immediately followed.

"Men are so competitive..."

Watching the three disappear from sight left Lucy speechless. In contrast to Lucy's complaints, Juvia was beaming with excitement, exclaiming, "Serious Gray-sama is so handsome!"

"Handsome my foot! He's always like this when he fights!" Kana pouted, glancing instinctively at Hope, who was walking slowly behind Makarov.

"Hope, if you keep going at this snail's pace, we won't even have any grunts to fight."

"Don't equate me with you violent thugs, okay?" Hope said with a righteous expression. "Although I am also a Fairy Tail mage, I am a peace-loving person and have never liked fighting with others."

"Huh~"

The people present all let out a disdainful sound.

Where was your peace when you were teasing Natsu on the ship just now...?

Erza looked at Simon, Hugh, Wally, and Milliana who were following her, "Jeral is very strong, you guys..."

"I will go with you."

The hot-tempered Wally was the first to speak, "Having been deceived for so long, I'm going to get an explanation from Gerald no matter what."

Miliana, who loves cats, rubbed against the Happy she was holding, and then chimed in, "Meow, me too!"

Although Hugh was furious at Jellal's deception, he was at peace after learning the truth about Erza's departure. Now he just wants to take revenge with his comrades and then live his own life.

Seeing that his three companions had made their decisions, Simon hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Geralt is very strong. His magic is different from the half-baked magic of the four of us who are self-taught. Over the past eight years, a mysterious person has come to guide him in magic every now and then..."

Upon hearing this, the three of them all showed expressions of surprise.

Having been in the Tower of Paradise for so long, they had no idea that an outsider had come, especially a mysterious person who came to teach Geralt magic.

Because Simon knew Gerald's ambition from the beginning, he had been secretly observing his behavior, which is how he discovered that an outsider was teaching him magic.

"I'm sorry, but for your safety, I have no choice but to keep this from you."

Hugh and the other two didn't mind; Simon was doing this for their safety.

Erza drew her longsword. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get going, or Natsu and the others will have to find Jellal first."

As Erza and her old friends went into the tower, Lucy and her two companions followed, leaving only Hope and Makarov outside.

Makarov watched Hope, who was curiously examining the Tower of Paradise. He didn't make a move because he was there to cover for him, but what was this kid doing, looking around like that?

"Hope, what are you looking at?"

Hope reached out and touched the tower wall. "It's nothing. I'm just a little curious. How can a building made of ordinary building materials hold such a massive amount of magic?"

"That's what makes black mages so powerful."

Makarov said in a deep voice, "This progenitor of black magic was an unparalleled magical genius. If he hadn't gone down the wrong path, he might have been able to benefit the world."

"Benefiting the world? Perhaps."

Hope withdrew her hand, looked up at the hundred-meter-high tower in front of her, and suddenly thought of something.

It is said that the "R System" can resurrect the dead. Could it be that the dark mage 400 years ago created this magic in order to resurrect someone?

"Guild Master, let's go inside. If we stay any longer, I'm afraid Natsu and the others will not only clear out the grunts, but also demolish the tower."

Makarov, recalling the astonishing destructive power of his own members, nodded in deep agreement, and the two then leisurely walked into the entrance of the Tower of Paradise.

The situation inside the tower was exactly as they had predicted.

The passageway was littered with unconscious guards lying haphazardly. The walls and floor were covered in frost, charred fist marks left by flames, or large holes smashed into them by iron bars.

"It seems they're making good progress." Makarov stroked his beard, and he could faintly hear Natsu's excited shouts coming from the upper floors.

It's only natural that things went smoothly.

Erza goes without saying. Natsu and Gray were already among the strongest below S-class in the guild. Gajeel and Juvia were also aces and S-class fighters in Phantom Lord.

Cana and Lucy are also quite strong now.

With this lineup, unless the enemy is one of the Ten Wizard Saints, they're practically invincible. And even if there really is an enemy at the Ten Wizard Saint level, isn't there Makarov?

Hope suddenly remembered something: according to the information Simon had provided on the way here, Gerald seemed to have hired several experts...
