Fairy Tail: I'm invincible when I receive anime characters!

If it weren't injured, it could withstand such an attack without much problem, but now that it's injured, such an attack would be fatal.

At that moment, a thought suddenly flashed through its mind—death.

It could never have imagined that one day it would be driven to such a desperate situation by a mere human.

"No! I can't die!!"

"I am a noble dragon! How could I possibly be killed by a mere human?!"

"Yes! There's no need for us to fight it head-on!"

"This guy's transformation time is only one minute, and several tens of seconds have already passed. As long as I avoid the remaining tens of seconds, I will be safe."

"We can deal with him when the time comes! Why make things difficult for ourselves?"

At this moment, the dragon's strong will to survive erupted. It pushed off with its feet and then spread its wings and flew rapidly into the sky.

"The dragon escaped?!"

Everyone was shocked to see the demonic dragon escape. Such a powerful dragon had actually been driven away by Qi Yan. His strength was simply too great.

"Kid! I'm not fighting you. In just a few dozen seconds, you'll be powerless to fight! Then you'll be completely at my mercy. Just you wait, I'll make you watch everyone die in front of you, and I'll torture you relentlessly until you wish you were dead!!"

"not good!!"

Upon hearing the dragon's words, everyone's expression changed. If the dragon were to launch a surprise attack, things would be disastrous.

Qi Yan remained calm and said indifferently, "Do you think you can escape?"

Qi Yan gathered his hands together, condensing spiritual particles in his palms, and then pulled his hands to the sides.

A spirit spear emitting blue flames hovered in front of Qi Yan.

"Thunder Spear!"

Qi Yan raised his spear, watching the demonic dragon gradually recede into the distance. He didn't rush to attack, but waited patiently.

"Hmm... this distance is about right. If we get too close, other people might be in danger."

Qi Yan assumed a throwing stance and then forcefully hurled the Thunder Spear towards the demonic dragon.

The dragon seemed to sense something and turned its head to look back, only to see the Thunder Spear shooting towards it. Just as it was about to dodge, a burning pain suddenly came from its wound. It was the scar left by Qi Yan after receiving the reincarnation of Ji Guoyuan. It did not expect it to suddenly flare up at this time. It was because of this pain that the dragon missed its chance to dodge.

"No----!!"

Amidst the terrified gaze and agonizing screams of the dragon Arazam,

The Thunder Spear pierced into the dragon's body.

"boom------!!"

An energy explosion comparable to the roar of a giant dragon erupted in the sky, and the cyan energy transformed into a pillar of light that rapidly spread outwards.

The dragon's body was instantly engulfed by the energy impact.

"Eee-yaaaaaah!!"

"Waaaaaah!!"...

Everyone screamed in terror. The power of this energy explosion was no less than that of the dragon's roar. They never expected to experience such powerful magic again.

The impact of the energy annihilated everything around it, but fortunately, this time it exploded in the sky and was far enough away from the city, so the impact and damage to the city was much smaller.

A short while later, the explosion subsided, and the dragon was no longer visible in the sky.

Everyone stared in awe at the sky.

"The... Demon Dragon... is dead?"

The speaker seemed somewhat uncertain.

"Yeah! Dead!"

Many of the people present were magic swordsmen with magical powers. They could easily sense whether the dragon was still alive or not, given its immense magical power. However, they could not sense any magical power from the dragon at this moment, which could only prove one thing: the dragon had been killed.

"Oh my god!! That's great!!"

"The dragon has been killed!!"

"We survived!!"

"Long live Mr. Qi Yan!! Long live Mr. Qi Yan!!"...

After confirming that the dragon had indeed been destroyed, everyone cheered.

Not long ago, after witnessing the terrifying power of the demonic dragon, everyone was filled with despair. Who would have thought that at the critical moment, Mr. Qi Yan would step forward again and eliminate the almost invincible demonic dragon? He was truly amazing.

[Ding! SS-rank mission: Destroy the Demon Dragon, completed!]

[Reward: Two 10-pull pulls!]

Upon seeing the system notification, Qi Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Since the system indicated that he had completed the task, it meant that the Demon Dragon was truly finished.

Qi Yan released his receiving stance, and in the next instant, an indescribable sense of exhaustion washed over him. Before he could even react, he collapsed to the ground with a thud and passed out.

When Qi Yan woke up again, he was already on a large bed. It seemed that he had fainted and then been carried back.

Qi Yan skillfully opened the system panel.

[Host: Qi Yan]

[Age: 18 years old]

[Race: Human]

【Magic Power: ★★★★】

[Magic: Receive Magic]

[Character Cards: Ulquiorra Cifer (Gold), Yoriichi Tsugikuni (Gold)]

[Current number of draws available: 20.]

Looking at his panel, Qi Yan felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

Her magic power reached four stars, which is considered top-tier even within the Fairy Tail guild.

Fortunately, I didn't reclaim those two character cards. If I had reclaimed either of them, I wouldn't have been able to achieve final victory in this battle.

I wonder if I'll be able to draw another gold character after twenty draws.

The bedroom door opened, and Erza walked in from outside.

Seeing that Qi Yan had woken up, she was pleasantly surprised and quickly walked over: "Qi Yan, you're awake!!"

"How are you? Is anything bothering you?" Erza asked with concern.

Qi Yan shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm fine, it's just that my magic power is being used up a lot."

Erza breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Qi Yan say that: "That's great! You've been unconscious for three days, I was so worried about you."

"Three days?!"

Qi Yan didn't expect that he had been unconscious for three days. He thought he had only slept for one night. It seems that his original body is still too weak and can't withstand the consumption of the golden character card. He needs to make the most of his time to exercise more after he gets back.

"I never imagined that just a nap would last so long. Is His Majesty alright?"

"His Majesty the King is fine and is currently handling official business."

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay!"

He hadn't forgotten why he came here: the reward for the SS-rank mission, and the prize for winning the World's Strongest Swordsman Tournament—he hadn't received them yet.

Qi Yan jumped off the bed with great excitement:

"Let's go see His Majesty. Now that the mission is complete, it's time to collect our payment."

Chapter 42 Dividing the Money

Erza didn't expect that Qi Yan's first thing to do after waking up was to ask for payment, but she had never encountered such a high reward before.

“That’s true. We’ve been lingering here for too long. It’s time to go back. If we stay any longer, the president will start to worry.”

The two of them went to the royal palace together.

At this moment, in the royal palace hall.

The king was dealing with affairs when the dragon Alazam launched a sudden attack, catching him off guard and causing severe damage to the entire city. Fortunately, no one in the city was injured or killed, and the country is rebuilding in an orderly manner.

Most importantly, with the threat of the dragon Alazam gone, the nation is truly free of worries and can vigorously develop and expand its existing resources.

At this moment, a minister came to report: "Your Majesty! Mr. Qi Yan and Miss Elsa have arrived."

The king's eyes lit up: "Mr. Qi Yan has arrived! Please come in quickly!"

Soon, Qi Yan and Erza arrived at the royal palace again.

"Mr. Qi Yan! You're finally awake!"

Upon seeing Qi Yan, the king immediately came over to greet him warmly.

"I'm sorry to have worried Your Majesty. I just used up too much magic power and I've recovered after a few days of rest."

"It's good that you've recovered! It's good that you've recovered!"

"Your Majesty, we have been away for quite some time now, and we have been delayed by resting. We have come to take our leave."

"Leaving? So soon?! You could have stayed much longer!"

Erza said, "No, Your Majesty, if we stay any longer, the rest of the guild will worry."

"That's it!"

The king hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Qi Yan, Miss Erza, I wonder if you would be willing to stay in the Kingdom of Sobea? If you do stay, I can appoint Mr. Qi Yan and Miss Erza as the president and vice president of the Swordsman's Guild, respectively."

Qi Yan and Erza are both experts, especially Qi Yan, who has the strength to slay dragons. As long as he stays in the Kingdom of Sobea, he will be a pillar of strength.

The king's meaning was clear: he was telling Qi Yan and Erza that if they stayed in the Kingdom of Sobea, money, status, and fame would all be within their grasp.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I am a mage from Fairy Tail."

Qi Yan refused outright. He was bound to the Fairy Tail guild, and he wouldn't leave behind even a billion or a hundred billion, let alone a hundred million.

This experience also taught him that in this world, strength is far more important than money.

"That's such a shame!"

Even though he had anticipated this outcome, the king was still somewhat disappointed.

"Someone come here! Bring the things up!"

Soon, someone brought over several boxes.

The box was opened, revealing a dense array of money inside.

Qi Yan's eyes widened in disbelief. How much money would this cost?

"This is 1 million J. I know this is not enough to pay for the contributions you two have made to the Kingdom of Sobea, but with the reconstruction of the capital imminent, this is all we can pay for now."

Erza was a little stunned when she heard that there were 1 million J here. She had become a mage a long time ago and had been working hard all these years, but the total amount of money she had earned over the years did not even amount to 1 million J.

"No, no, no, that's too much. My prize for winning is 2000 million J, and the reward for the SS-level mission is 3000 million J, which is 5000 million J in total. Half of that is enough."

"If everything had gone smoothly as originally planned, the reward would have been 5000 million J. However, a monster tide and a demonic dragon appeared, which far exceeded the level of an SS-rank mission. Compared to the difficulty of the mission, the reward is already very low."

The king wasn't talking nonsense. Just the word "dragon" alone was enough to make this mission a ten-year mission. The reward for a ten-year mission starts at least at 5 million J, so 1 million really isn't much. The most important thing is that almost no guild's mage dares to take on a ten-year mission. Just like this time, even if it were one of the Ten Wizard Saints, they would die.

Qi Yan shook his head and insisted, "Since the mission has already been accepted, it cannot be changed. Any subsequent changes are part of the risk, so I cannot accept any extra money."

“Qi Yan is right. The mission was determined the moment we arrived. If we charge more than the agreed reward, it would violate our guild’s rules.” Erza agreed with Qi Yan’s point of view.

Hearing what the two men said, the king stopped insisting and had someone bring Qi Yan the box filled with 5000 million J in reward money.

Qi Yan took the box, feeling its heavy weight, and felt extremely excited.

Although the work was exhausting, all my worries disappeared the moment I received the money.

"Your Majesty, now that this matter is settled, we should return to the guild."

Seeing that Qi Yan and Erza were determined to leave, the king knew it would be inappropriate to keep them any longer, so he laughed and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't keep you any longer. I've already ordered a carriage to be prepared to take you there. You are also welcome to visit the Kingdom of Sobeia at any time. The gates of the Kingdom of Sobeia are always open to you, and you will always be the most honored guests of the Kingdom of Sobeia."

"Your Majesty is too kind. If there are any more jobs like this in the future, please let me know. I can personally give you a 20% discount."

Qi Yan said jokingly.

"Pfft—!!! Hahahaha!!"
