Chapter 23: Hidden Too Deep
A few days later, Yumesaki finally decided to prepare for his journey to the Alakitasia Continent.
However, before setting off for the Alakitasia Continent, he first went to say goodbye to Erza and Makarov.
After Makarov finished listening to Yumesaki's thoughts, his eyes blinked a few times, and he said, "In that case, you should be a little careful."
Erza, on the other hand, said firmly, "I'll just go with you."
Yumesaki shook his head and replied, "There's no need. After Oración Seis, it will be time to pass through Edolas. Besides, the civil war within the guild hasn't erupted yet. Fairy Tail still needs you."
Erza could not help but be stunned. As someone who had seen the storyline, she naturally knew the level of seriousness regarding passing through Edolas.
Subconsciously speaking, that was the moment closest to the destruction of the entire guild.
If Natsu and the others hadn't turned the tables, Fairy Tail might have really been finished.
At a crucial time like this, she absolutely could not be absent; she had to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.
Therefore, as for the Alakitasia Continent, it seemed there was no way for her to accompany Yumesaki.
And Yumesaki did not have the patience to wait for the Edolas arc to finish before leaving, because in the world of Edolas, aside from the Exceeds, no one could use magic, so there was also no way to copy anything.
Therefore, compared to the world of Edolas, the Alakitasia Continent was instead far more suitable for him.
So, after saying his goodbyes, Yumesaki immediately left the guild, advancing all the way toward the Alakitasia Continent.
With the help of Clairvoyance magic, as well as the Door-Door Fruit, Yumesaki arrived at the Alakitasia Continent almost without exerting much effort.
He stepped foot into the Alvarez Empire.
This was a magical empire that was more prosperous compared to the Fiore Kingdom.
The first thing Yumesaki did upon coming to this empire was to look for Irene.
Fortunately, Irene's great name in the Alvarez Empire could be said to be known by every household. Yumesaki found Irene's whereabouts without exerting much effort.
However, the problem lay in how to approach Irene.
After thinking for a long time, Yumesaki decided to go straight to the heart of the matter.
Directly using teleportation, he appeared out of thin air right in front of Irene, who was currently handling official affairs.
Seeing a stranger suddenly appear in front of her, Irene was shocked in her heart. The magic power inside her body instantly boiled over, as if in the very next second she would unleash an unprecedented force.
"Who are you, bastard?"
She looked at Yumesaki with a cold gaze, the magic in her hands already poised to strike.
Yumesaki paid no attention to the light in her hands and said with a broad smile, "I bring news regarding Zeref. Don't you want to know it, Miss Irene?"
"News regarding His Majesty the Emperor?" Irene's eyes blinked, and she questioned back, "On what basis should I believe you?"
"On the basis that I know everything about you. For instance, your name is Irene, and four hundred years ago you were once the Queen of the Dragnof Kingdom. In order to fight against the invasion of the evil dragon race, you created enchantment magic, and through enchantment magic, you bestowed the power of a dragon onto a human body, forming a new magic, which is Dragon Slayer Magic."
Yumesaki spoke fluidly in front of Irene, "However, this magic carries a side effect, which is dragonification. After undergoing dragonification, you suffered all kinds of hardships, ultimately destroying your own kingdom and flying into the wilderness of the deep mountains."
"Then after that, you met Zeref. Under Zeref's assistance, you regained your human outward appearance."
"However, in essence, you actually remain a dragon, only capable of switching between dragon and human forms."
"Yet because of the dragon power within yourself, you lost the human sense of taste, and also became unable to sleep. After giving birth to Erza, you tried to enchant yourself into Erza's body, but it ended in failure. When preparing to keep trying, you ultimately could not bear to act due to a mother's affection, thus abandoning Erza in a village."
"Enough!!!"
Without waiting for Yumesaki to finish his words, Irene suddenly roared in anger.
She had not expected Yumesaki to step forward so directly and stab into her weakness, making her recall the nightmares of the past once again.
If it weren't for Yumesaki saying that he knew news regarding Zeref, she would have already delivered a blow over there by now.
"Who exactly are you? How could you know so many things?"
Yumesaki smiled slightly. Utilizing Archive magic, he poured all of his information, as well as Irene's future, into Irene's brain all at once.
As an example, before long, Zeref would return. Irene, under Zeref's leadership, would come to Ishgar. Together with Bloodman and Larcade, who were also part of the Spriggan 12, Juliet and Heine who belonged to Irene's Squad, as well as three hundred thousand soldiers of the Alvarez Empire's army, she would attack from the northern part of the Fiore Kingdom.
After that, she would carry out massive destruction inside Fiore Castle, easily wiping out the entire royal army and turning the princess into a mouse.
Then after that, she would launch an attack against Erza, ultimately committing suicide because she lost to Erza.
Then, because Acnologia felt resentment toward Irene for creating Dragon Slayer Magic, Irene's corpse would be destroyed by Acnologia.
After Irene finished seeing her future, her facial expression changed continuously.
"This is my future?"
"Correct, this is your future."
"And you are a person from another world?"
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Irene. I am Kazuma Yumesaki, or just Yumesaki, a traveler who originates from another world."
"You came here in order to copy my magic." After Irene finished sorting through the information sent by Yumesaki, she finally understood Yumesaki's thinking.
Sure enough, in this world, there was no love without reason, nor was there hatred without reason.
The reason why the opposing party told these things to her also had an intended goal.
"Correct." Yumesaki nodded honestly. "I wonder what Miss Irene's opinion is?"
Irene went silent for a moment, then asked, "Our plan to invade Ishgar, did it fail?"
Yumesaki nodded, "It failed."
"What about His Majesty the Emperor?"
"Along with his own wife, Mavis, they died together."
Irene's facial expression instantly became much more listless, "Then what about Acnologia?"
"He was destroyed by Fairy Tail." Yumesaki said with a broad smile as he looked at Irene, "If you want, I can help you finish off this black dragon."
Irene was stunned for a moment, "You can kill him too?"
Yumesaki said calmly, "Of course. After all, he is just a black dragon. His magic power is incredibly powerful, and his body is incredibly hard, but what about his soul?"
"I possess a type of ability that can be specifically aimed at his soul. Killing him won't be an issue."
Irene shook her head and said, "He has a powerful resistance to magic, and besides, he..."
"I know. He is the dragon of the end who can turn all magic back into magic power and devour all magic power. In other words, this guy is actually immune to any magic."
Yumesaki spoke up, cutting off Irene's words, and said with a broad smile, "But who told you that I would use a magic attack?"
While speaking at the same time, Yumesaki decisively converted the magic power inside his body into cursed energy.
"I just said that I am a person from another world and have been to more than just one other world. Many other worlds have their own unique systems, such as cursed energy, such as Chakra, such as Qi."
"These things are all completely different from magic power. Acnologia can be immune to magic, but he will not be immune to cursed techniques."
He raised his hand, and a cluster of cursed energy appeared in his palm.
Irene could feel clearly that this power and magic power were completely different.
"I have a cursed technique called Idle Transfiguration. It can affect the physical body based on the state of the soul. In other words, I can change you from a dragon back into a human—a true human. How about it, want to try?"
He extended his hand, offering an invitation to Irene.
Irene looked at Yumesaki's hand, then fell into silence.
Yumesaki's words were very good, piercing right into the desire within her heart, but she was not sure whether she should believe Yumesaki.
However, the power in the opposing party's hand was indeed truly not magic power, but rather a different kind of power.
This matter seemed to prove that Yumesaki was not lying.
After hesitating for a moment, Irene firmly made her decision, taking a gamble. She really desired too much to become a complete human being.
So she extended her hand, grasping Yumesaki's hand.
Yumesaki smiled slightly, activating the Idle Transfiguration ability, changing Irene's body into a human.
As mentioned before, after Irene underwent dragonification, even though she regained her human outward appearance under Zeref's assistance, in essence she remained a dragon, capable of switching back and forth between a human and a dragon body.
But this time, Yumesaki directly transformed Irene's body.
Irene changed from a dragon into a human.
Even if she wanted to change back into a dragon, it was no longer possible.
Aside from that matter, human senses such as the sense of taste, the sense of touch, and other feelings also returned to her own body.
After being separated for several hundred years, Irene once again turned into a human.
And Yumesaki also followed the situation to copy Irene's magic.
Aside from Enchant Magic, there was still Universe One, Separation Enchantment, Telekinesis, Eye Magic, and various others.
There was no mistake that this was an old woman who had lived for several hundred years; the magic she could perform was indeed plentiful.
But now, all of it provided an advantage to Yumesaki.
On the other side, after Irene found herself transformed from a dragon back into a human, her joy could not be added to further. This was something that even Zeref had no way of doing.
After being separated for several hundred years, she finally changed from a dragon back into a human.
"Thank you." Toward Yumesaki, Irene was naturally very grateful.
Yumesaki waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be polite. After all, I have also obtained what I wanted."
Irene was stunned for a moment, quickly reacting, "You can also copy magic instantly?"
Yumesaki nodded and said, "I can, but it is not magic, rather a different kind of ability."
"Therefore, you copied my magic."
"Hmm."
Seeing Yumesaki nod without acting the least bit modest, Irene, for some unknown reason, was rarely not angry, perhaps because Yumesaki had just helped her resolve a major problem.
"Next, do you still want to copy other people's magic?"
Yumesaki nodded, "Correct. I came here in order to copy your magic. Therefore, the next target is Wizard King August, is it not?"
"So that's how it is." Irene suddenly realized, asking with full interest, "In that case, do you have a way to convince August?"
"I naturally have a way very much."
Yumesaki said, "This guy is the child of Zeref and Mavis. As long as I take him away to meet Mavis just once, he will naturally agree."
Irene could not help but be stunned. August unexpectedly turned out to be the child of Zeref and Mavis.
This matter she really did not know about.
Zeref unexpectedly turned out to have a child.
August had never even mentioned it at all. This matter was hidden too deep, wasn't it?
