Qi Yan and Erza's expressions turned serious. Dragons are at the top of the food chain in any world, and this is especially true in the Fairy Tail world. No matter how weak a dragon is, it is not something humans can mess with.

“That’s right! The power of the demonic dragon is terrifying. I suspect that it is the dragon that controls powerful monsters to drive them away, thus triggering the monster tide.”

"Miss Erza, have you seen Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni?"

The king looked at Erza and asked her a question.

Qi Yan's heart skipped a beat. Had his disguise been exposed? Erza shook her head. She had wanted to talk to Yoriichi Tsugikuni before, but before she could, this happened.

"I really don't know if Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni would be willing to join us in defeating the Demon Dragon. He is undoubtedly the best candidate to wield the sword."

Qi Yan's lips twitched. If the king knew that Yoriichi Tsugikuni was him, he wondered if his jaw would drop in shock.

Just then, a deafening rumble!

A loud roar rang out, followed by the ground shaking violently.

Everyone immediately tensed up, their eyes all fixed on the distant forest.

"coming!!"

Chapter 31 Let me do it

Soon, the footsteps grew louder and louder, and everyone's hearts tightened, as it was the first time they had faced such a large number of monsters.

roar-----!!

With the roars of the monsters, countless monsters burst forth from the forest and charged toward the city walls.

“That’s a lot!”

The swordsmen were all taken aback when they saw the monster of this size.

"attack---!!"

As the order was given, the soldiers standing on the city wall lit the cannons.

Bang bang bang! ! !

Boom boom boom boom! ! !

A large number of shells were fired towards the monsters, exploding among them.

"Whoa—!!"...

A large number of monsters were blasted away, with only a small portion managing to reach the area below the city walls.

"Attack—!!"

Upon seeing these demons, the swordsmen below the city wall immediately rushed forward to fight them.

"continue----!!"

The soldiers on the city wall continued to load cannons and fire them at the distant horde of monsters, leaving the area below the city wall open for the army and swordsmen to deal with.

Looking at the scene before him, Qi Yan felt extremely shocked. Was this war? This was the first time he had experienced it firsthand, and it was far too stimulating for someone who had lived in a peaceful era.

"Ohh ...

A strange cry rang out, and a huge monster, seven or eight meters tall, emerged from the forest. The monster looked like a monkey, or perhaps an ape, with red fur all over its body and a single horn on its forehead.

"Oh no! It's a nine-star demonic monster, the One-Horned Blood Ape!!!"

Upon seeing this enormous monster, many people couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Nine-star monsters can generally only be dealt with by nine-star swordsmen; for eight-star swordsmen, it's practically a free kill.

Buzz————!

The one-horned blood ape has crimson energy gathering on its pointed horn.

"Oh no! It's about to attack!!"

call out----!

A beam of crimson energy shot towards the swordsmen below the city wall.

"Flame Slash!!"

A fiery slash met the energy beam head-on.

boom----! !

The two energies collided and unleashed a violent impact.

A young man stepped forward, sword in hand, and declared, "I'll deal with it!"

"It's the Nine-Star Swordsman 'Flame Sword' Allen!"

Qi Yan was stunned when he saw the other person. Wasn't this the unlucky guy he had instantly defeated in the preliminaries?

"Hiss—!"

As a chilling sound rang out, a gigantic snake with nine heads slithered out of the forest.

"Another one!! It's a nine-star demon, the Hydra!!"

"I'll deal with it!!"

A bolt of lightning flashed through the crowd, heading straight for the Hydra, where it began to fight.

"Nine-Star Swordsman 'Thunder Sword' Clay!!"

The newcomer was another unlucky guy who had been defeated by Qi Yan. However, Qi Yan had shown mercy back then, so both Allen and Clay only suffered minor injuries and retained their peak fighting strength.

"Roar----!"

With a deafening roar, a lion with enormous wings flew out of the forest and soared straight towards the top of the city wall.

"It's the Nine-Star Demon King, Kui Shi!!"

"Flash Slash Cross Slash!!"

A cross-shaped beam of light shot straight towards the lion in the sky.

BOOM!

Kui Shi was knocked down from the sky by the cross slash.

This signature attack made everyone recognize it immediately.

“Arthur!!”

Arthur planted his sword in the ground, looked at Quil Lion, and said, "Don't even think about getting through here!!"

However, Kuish quickly shook his head and stood up again, seemingly unharmed.

"Roar----!!"

The Lion roared at Arthur, and the powerful sound waves blew the ground around them away.

Some of the weaker monsters were even knocked unconscious by the shockwave.

Many people on the human side also covered their ears in pain.

"Flash Sword!!"

It wasn't until Arthur charged in that the Lion was forced to stop roaring.

"Why are there so many nine-star demons this time?!"

"Yes! In the past, even if there were nine-star monsters in a monster tide, there would only be one at most. But now there are three. Could it be that this monster tide wasn't caused by nine-star monsters?"

In the past, most monster waves were caused by nine-star monsters, which forced these monsters to attack the city. But this time it seems a little different. Three nine-star monsters appeared together, and there are probably even more terrifying monsters to come.

"Awooo—!!"

A tall, silver-furred giant wolf burst out of the forest.

"Oh no! It's a nine-star demon, the Silver Moon Wolf!!!"

Erza said with a serious expression, "Qi Yan, you protect His Majesty the King. I'll deal with this guy!"

"Transformation - Black Feather Armor!!"

Without waiting for Qi Yan's reply, Erza quickly changed her clothes and flew down from the city wall. Three nine-star swordsmen were dealing with three nine-star monsters. If this giant wolf were to break into the human camp, it would definitely cause incalculable casualties, so she chose to take action.

"Great! It's Miss Erza!"

Erza is now a well-known figure in Sword City. Everyone who has watched the matches knows this woman who is not only highly skilled in swordsmanship but also very beautiful.

But just as Erza was facing off against the Silver Moon Wolf.

One after another, enormous monsters emerged from the forest, and the faces of the humans immediately turned pale.

"Mammoth King! Dark Panther King! Hellfire Tiger! Three-Headed Frost Bird! Earth Berserker Bear!!"

"How could this be?! How could this happen?! Why have all these overlords of the Demon Forest gathered here?!"

"Nine nine-star demonic creatures?! Do they intend to destroy this country?!"

Almost everyone who saw this was terrified.

Even the king, who had remained calm throughout, suddenly changed his expression, and sweat broke out on his forehead.

He had considered that the dragon's counterattack would be fierce, but he never expected that it would send out nine nine-star demons.

Currently, in this city, besides the four below, there are only five nine-star swordsmen including myself. Of course, if Qi Yan is also included, then there are six.

That still leaves three people and three nine-star demons, enough to destroy the entire city.

Unless that one makes a move.

"Where is Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni?! Where is Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni?!"

The king hurriedly asked, "Now only Mr. Yoriichi Tsugikuni can save this country."

Everyone around shook their heads; no one saw Yoriichi Tsugikuni. It seemed that Yoriichi Tsugikuni had disappeared after the sword tournament ended.

At this moment, Qi Yan saw so many powerful monsters appear and knew that he couldn't slack off anymore. If the country was destroyed, who would he collect his money from? He hadn't even redeemed his bonus yet.

"Let me do it!!"

Chapter 32 The Black-Winged Demon Reappears

"I'll handle these guys."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to Qi Yan.

"Mr. Qi Yan...you..."

The king looked at Qi Yan with some surprise and doubt. There was really very little information about Qi Yan, but he felt that Qi Yan was at most an S-class mage, equivalent to a nine-star swordsman.

In this mission, Miss Erza took the lead.

It's hard to believe that Qi Yan is now saying he's going to deal with five nine-star demons.

"I can handle five nine-star monsters, but I may not be able to participate in the next battle. Not only will I not be able to protect you, but I may also need you to protect me. At that time, my combat power may not even be as good as a soldier."

Qi Yan looked at the king and said.

Upon seeing that Qi Yan seemed serious, the king immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, Mr. Qi Yan! After you defeat the nine-star demon, I will protect you with my life!"

The other four monsters were dealt with by the other four nine-star swordsmen, but the most troublesome were these five nine-star monsters. He didn't know what powerful move Qi Yan had to eliminate the nine-star monsters, but it seemed that he would have to pay a heavy price.

Even if we can't eliminate all five nine-star monsters, eliminating just two or three will surely secure victory for the Kingdom of Sobea, given its strength.

Qi Yan nodded, then stepped to the edge of the city.

"Full Body Absorption!! Ulquiorra Cifer!!"

As Qi Yan spoke, his body began to change.

Her original black clothes had been replaced with a white-faced, black-based high-necked long-sleeved jacket, and her lower body was dressed in a white kimono-style trousers skirt, which was tied with a wide black obi (waistband). A Zanpakuto was stuck in the obi, and she wore black stockings and white shoes.

His skin turned slightly pale, his eyes turned green, and there were green tear stains under his eyes. He wore a white helmet with horns on the left side of his head.

After Qi Yan transformed, the king immediately felt a powerful sense of oppression emanating from him.

Seeing Qi Yan's posture, the king understood why Qi Yan was able to do SS-rank missions with Erza.

He knew that Qi Yan's magic was a receiving magic, but he didn't expect there would be such a big difference between before and after receiving it.

In his normal state, Qi Yan looks unremarkable; at most, he's just a handsome young man.
