Fully Ripened Irene

Seeing this, Irene glanced at Hughes and flew straight towards the outer sea of the Alakitasia Continent.

Hughes shrugged. As expected of the Dragon Mother has lived for over 400 years, she's quite Haki!

"With your strength, August, no one on the Ishgar Continent can stop you. If you want to see her, go to Tenrou Island!"

Hughes silently recited the words to himself, then his body trembled, flames rose from the soles of his feet, and he quickly caught up with Irene.

His words were deliberately spoken to August, to amplify August's deep longing for family affection.

Although August is powerful and loyal to Zeref, his fatal weakness is too obvious.

Family ties are an obstacle he can never overcome!

If he meets Mavis earlier, perhaps Mavis can influence August and separate him from the Zeref faction.

If a top-tier fighter like August could join the Ishgar Continent...

Tsk, Hughes thinking about it gives Zeref a headache.

Unfortunately, Irene is a bit of a problem. Apart from her biological daughter Erza, Hughes can't think of anyone else who can purify her heart, which has been corrupted and broken for 400 years.

Otherwise, Hughes would have wanted to steal her away too!

In the seas Alakitasia Continent, Hughes finally caught up with Irene.

Seeing Irene's eager gaze, Hughes shrugged and led her toward the Guiltina Continent.

"Come with me. No matter how eloquently I describe it, nothing beats the truth of seeing it for yourself!"

The dark Hughes within Irene knew that she was originally the queen of the Kingdom of Dragnof four hundred years ago, who fought against the Arlong and protected the Kingdom of Dragnof.

She borrowed the power of Enchantment Magic and the wise dragon Belserion to create Dragon Slayer Magic, but due to the side effects of the Dragon Slayer Magic, she gradually Dragonization.

After the war, because of her dragon appearance, Irene was scorned and imprisoned by her husband and the people. While pregnant with Erza, she suffered three years of severe torture.

Finally, the corrupted Irene Dragonization, destroyed the Kingdom of Dragnof she had always protected, and hid in the deep mountains.

For 400 years, Irene lived in the Yamanaka in the form of a dragon, trying everything she could to regain her human body, which eventually led to her mental breakdown.

Irene did not emerge from the deep mountains until Zeref helped her transform from a dragon into a human.

However, by this time, Irene had completely turned to the dark side, becoming ruthless and cruel. She even nearly killed her newborn daughter Erza.

To be honest, Hughes felt sorry for Irene. If he had gone through what Irene went through, he estimated that he would have become even more thoroughly corrupted Irene.

But now Irene is the enemy, and he can't afford to be soft-hearted; he has to use her when necessary.

Hughes understood that the root of Irene's hatred was the dragon, and the people and events of 400 years ago.

The Kingdom of Dragnof, which betrayed her husband, has long since vanished into history, but the dragons that participated in the Dragon War 400 years ago are not entirely extinct.

The information Hughes had whispered in Irene's ear earlier concerned some information about her from 400 years ago, as well as the existence of a large number of dragons on the Guiltina Continent who had survived from the clutches of the Black Dragon.

Of course, Hughes embellished the story considerably to stir up Irene's hatred and curiosity.

For example, it is falsely claimed that the dragons of the Guiltina Continent were a separate faction that was hostile to the wise dragon Belserion 400 years ago.

For example, there are many people on the Guiltina Continent who can Dragonization, just like her.

Hughes wanted to fully ignite Irene's interest in the Guiltina Continent, exploit the darkness within her, and have her join forces with him to deal with all the known people and dragons of the Guiltina Continent.

This will help you complete system tasks and greatly enhance your abilities.

To be honest, Hughes had never been able to understand why the Guiltina Continent was neither blocked nor far away.

But strangely enough, neither the Ishgar Continent nor the Alakitasia Continent knows much about the Guiltina Continent.

Especially the Black Dragon, Acnologia, who has been wiping out everything related to dragons all over the world, why doesn't he go to the Guiltina Continent?

As Hughes pondered this, Irene, who had Enchantment Magic on herself granting her the ability to fly, asked, "Where do we go first?"

Putting aside his confusion, Hughes turned to look at her. "Let's go to the first mage guild, Magia Dragon. There's someone there who will definitely interest you!"

"Law Dragon Elefseria, the guild master of the Magia Dragon Guild, an inconceivably talented mage."

"If humans want to master the Dragon Slayer Magic you created, they must either be taught by a dragon himself, implant Dragon Slayer Lacrima, or learn from the Dragon Eaters of the Guiltina Continent and devour the bodies of dragons."

"But Law Dragon is different. He is Elefseria self-taught special Dragon Slayer who mastered magic-attribute Dragon Slayer Magic through his own exploration and without a teacher, and eventually became a complete Dragonization!"

In the world of Earth-land, only three humans have been completely Dragonization: Irene, Acnologia, Elefseria.

This is not comparable to the Dragon Eaters like Suzaku who activate "second-stage Dragonization" by devouring parts of a dragon's body.

Hughes chose the Magia Dragon as his first stop on the Guiltina Continent, firstly because the existence of the Law Dragon would definitely trigger a quest with substantial rewards.

Secondly, since the first target to be contacted on the Guiltina Continent needs to be a shocking figure for Irene, it will increase her curiosity and make it easier to get her to tackle tough challenges later.

Once you're on that pirate ship of Hughes, there's no end to the effort and suffering.

Hughes continued, "Not only have you fully Dragonization, Law Dragon Elefseria is now trapped in Dragonization, just like you were before, unable to revert to human form!"

As fellow pioneers of Dragon Slayer Magic, and having shared similar experiences, Hughes was confident that Irene wouldn't take the bait, Law Dragon Elefseria bait!

Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Irene's eyes visibly trembled. "Is what you said true?"

Hughes nodded seriously. "If anything is wrong, I'll lie here and do whatever you want with me!"

Irene, who was flying alongside Hughes in mid-air, suddenly fell silent, her eyes slightly vacant.

Hughes glanced at her, guessing that his words had touched on her past, causing Irene to drift into memories.

Just then, a gentle breeze swept through the air, its force sustained, and Hughes's eyes, fixed on Irene, widened instantly.

How can someone dress so daringly?

Her long, slender legs were covered only by black high-heeled over-the-knee boots, with her upper body completely bare.

The half-exposed mountain peaks, rounded and delicate, trembled gently in the soft breeze.

The cloak behind her clung to her body in the wind, highlighting her two upright breasts.

Her alluring outfit, coupled with her curvaceous figure and mature charm, made Hughes's heart race.

At this moment, Hughes had only one feeling: the spear was hard to control, and the bullet trajectory was deviating to the left.

"Why didn't I travel back 400 years!" Hughes clutched his heart, feeling a pang of discomfort!

(I tried my best, giving Irene five chances to post pictures, but none of them were approved...)
