Seeking Zeref (First Update)

After returning from the Dragon Ball World, Hawking entered the Fairy Tail World.

Instead of continuing his research on Dark Magic with Makarov, he flew to the Alvarez Empire in the Western Continent to find the dark mage Zeref Dragneel.

The magic of the Fairy Tail World has basically been laid a solid foundation thanks to the memories of the Second Hokage Guild Master and his research over this period.

It would be too time-consuming to explore on his own, especially since he can only enter this world for one hour each day.

Why not just find the two people in this world who are most knowledgeable about magic? If we can obtain their memories and knowledge, we won't have to bother coming over every day, and that will keep him busy for a long time.

These two people are none other than the Dark Mage Zeref and Mavis, the creator of Fairy Tail's three great super magics.

The Dark Mage Zeref is the emperor of the Western Continent. Mavis's soul returned to the Fairy Tail Guild after the Tenrou Island incident, while her body remains in the guild's basement.

He hadn't done this before, partly because his foundation wasn't solid, and partly because he was naturally wary of Ankhseram God who held life and death in this world.

But now, with his strength and the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, he can even exchange blows with Hades in the Saint Seiya World. He might as well give the god of life and death in this world a try.

If we really can't win, we can just take Zeref and Mavis and leave this world.

Because of his incredible speed, he arrived above the Western Continent in the blink of an eye and saw the bustling Wraith Magic Empire.

"That must be the royal palace!"

After circling over the empire, he quickly located the royal palace, where the magical energy concentration was highest.

Holding a caduceus staff and wearing the gleaming gold Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, Hawking arrived above the palace and shouted loudly using the Amplification Spell:

"Is Zeref here? Could you please come out for a moment? I need to discuss something with you."

His shout immediately caused a commotion throughout the palace, and countless magical soldiers poured out from various palaces, surrounding Hawking completely.

One of the young men, carrying a disc made of twelve swords, stepped out from among the soldiers and roared at Hawking in the air:

"Who dares to linger above the palace and address His Majesty by his name!"

After saying that, he actually took a deep breath and used Wind Dragon Slayer Magic on Hawking.

"The Storm Dragon's Ballad of Wind and Moon!"

Suddenly, a powerful tornado swept towards Hawking.

However, Hawking didn't even try to block this Wind Dragon Slayer Magic, because an attack of this magnitude simply couldn't break through the defenses inherent in the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth.

"It turns out to be Serena, the leader of the Four Gods of Ishgar."

Looking at the mage's appearance below, Hawking recognized him at a glance.

The Ishgar Continent, the continent where Fairy Tail Guild is located, is currently recognized as having the strongest mage, Serena.

His body absorbed eight Dragon Slayer Crystal of different attributes, allowing him to unleash eight different Dragon Slayer Magic, which he could also fuse together. His strength surpassed that of the three Saint Mages ranked after him combined, making him a match for none of them.

He joined the Alvarez Empire because he wanted to defeat the Black Dragon, but was instantly killed by the Black Dragon in one blow.

"I have no hostility. I need to find him if Zeref's here or not."

After the storm passed, Hawking landed unharmed from the sky and asked Serena.

When Serena saw that Hawking had actually blocked his Dragon Slayer Magic, his eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Interesting. Apart from His Majesty, no one else can withstand my Dragon Slayer Magic unscathed. Let's try this one."

He let out a furious roar:

"Eight Dragon Bloom!"

Eight Dragon Slayer Magic were unleashed simultaneously, transforming into eight giant dragons of different colors that attacked Hawking.

Hawking raised an eyebrow:

"Eight? I'll give you a thousand."

As he spoke, he had already obtained the answer he wanted from Serena's mind, and he responded with a special move he had just learned from Dohko.

"Lushan Hundred Dragons Overlord!"

Rozan Hundred Dragons Force is just the name of the Moves. The actual number of dragons that can be unleashed depends on the skill level. He just learned it from Dohko and can unleash a thousand dragons.

Serena's eight magical energy dragons were instantly shattered when they encountered Hawking's thousands of azure dragons.

"How so?"

With a scream, he was struck by thousands of azure dragons and immediately fainted.

It was mainly because Hawking held back; otherwise, if he had been hit squarely, he would probably have been reduced to ashes.

"Serena was defeated in just one move!"

At this moment, the other members of the "Spriggan 12" also arrived. When they saw that Serena, who was ranked third in strength among them, had been defeated in one move, they all showed surprised expressions.

"This guy isn't even in the Empire."

After easily defeating Serena, Hawking muttered a couple of words.

He gleaned from Serena's memories that Zeref was not in the Empire at the moment, but had gone traveling again.

As for where he went, no one in the empire knows.

"You two are not bad either."

Looking up, he saw Magic King August and Scarlet Despair Irene Belserion.

August is the son of Zeref and Mavis, who were abandoned by the Second Hokage Guild Master. He is proficient in all magic from ancient and modern times, both East and West, because of his copying magic, and is known as the Magic King.

He is the strongest mage in the Alvarez Empire besides Zeref, and also the de facto ruler of the empire.

Zeref was a hands-off manager, often traveling abroad and not really managing the empire.

Irene Belserion, the mother of Fairy Tail Queen Erza, is also the founder of Enchantment Magic and Dragon Slayer Magic, and has lived for over four hundred years.

If we could extract these two people's memories related to magic, we could gain a lot of magical knowledge.

While Hawking was deep in thought, everyone around him had already launched their own magical attacks against him, the intruder.

"Light Speed Fist!"

Hawking pointed a finger forward, and everyone's magic shattered instantly. At the same time, everyone took a solid punch and passed out.

Just kidding, with his Light Speed Fist that deliver a billion punches per second, if he wanted to, no one present would even have a chance to cast a spell.

Hawking took out an Owl from the Ancestor Space, handed it an Owl with Zeref's name on it, and with Hawking in one hand and Irene in the August, followed the Owl and flew in the direction of Zeref.

During the flight, he didn't rest either. First, he read all of the Magic King's memories about magic, and then he read all of Irene's memories about magic.

Reading memories doesn't mean you've learned it; it's just like memorizing the relevant magical knowledge. To fully master it, you still need to spend time studying it gradually.

"Additional speed!"

Using the Enchantment Magic from Irene's memory, they tried to increase the Owl's speed. The Owl, which originally flew at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, suddenly broke the speed of sound, leaving the Owl itself stunned.

So soon, he found Zeref lying on a mountaintop sunbathing on a deserted island.
