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

Natsu said, releasing flames from his hands.

The boatman's expression changed drastically upon seeing the flame in Natsu's hand. He exclaimed excitedly, "Fire?! You...you're mages?! Did you come here to break the curse on that island?"

"Come up here."

"real?!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, the two cheered and quickly boarded the boat.

The ship sailed toward Garna Island.

"Ugh!"

Natsu started feeling seasick and nauseous as soon as he boarded the ship.

"I don't know why, but I'm only starting to feel a little scared now..."

Lucy was very excited when she first boarded the ship, but now that she thinks about it, she's about to embark on an S-class mission, the kind of S-class mission where even an S-class mage could lose their life if they're not careful.

"Uncle, weren't you unwilling to start the boat just now? Why are you willing to start the boat now that you know we are mages?"

The boatman explained, "My name is Bobo. I used to be a resident of that island, but I escaped from that fearsome little island."

Harpy asked curiously, "Uncle boatman, since you're a resident of that island, you must know what a curse is, right?"

"This is the curse..."

As the boatman spoke, he revealed his arm beneath his cloak. The three men were immediately startled when they saw the arm. What kind of arm was that?

Its arms were covered in black carapace and had sharp claws, making it look like the arms of a demon.

"If you go to that island, disaster will befall you too. Can you really break the curse? Break the curse of that demon?"

"They've been gone for three or four hours."

"These idiots, they're pretty fast!"

Qi Yan and Gray arrived at Hargeon Port and easily found out where Natsu and his friends were. After all, they only saw one person a year going to Devil's Island, and Natsu, Lucy, and Happy—one with cherry-red hair, one with golden hair, and a little blue cat—had such distinctive features that they naturally remembered them.

"What should we do if the boatmen here refuse to go to Karna Island?"

When Gray inquired about Natsu and the others, he naturally asked the boatman if he could take them there, and unsurprisingly, he was refused by all of them.

"It doesn't matter, if they don't want to go, we'll go ourselves."

As Qi Yan spoke, he used his receiving magic.

"Full Body Absorption - Ace!"

Qi Yan's face began to show Ace's signature freckles, and he wore an orange cowboy hat, black shorts, and a tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates' flag on his back—this was Qi Yan's posture as he received Ace.

Then, Qi Yan consumed his magic power, and a small boat materialized in front of him.

The boat wasn't big; it was more like a single-person speedboat than a small boat. There were three nozzles at the back of the speedboat: the rear nozzle was for propulsion, and the nozzles on the sides were for changing direction.

"Get on the boat, let's go after them."

Chapter 78 Say it again

"What...what is this?!"

Gray was astonished to see Qi Yan conjure a ship. Gray had naturally seen Qi Yan in this form before; his powerful fire magic was even stronger than Natsu's.

But he had never heard of Qi Yan possessing spatial magic.

"A little boat! Don't you recognize it?"

"No...of course I recognize the ship...the question is, how did this ship come about?"

"A ship? Of course, it's a materialized object."

Qi Yan knew this when he used the Receiving Magic. He could materialize equipment owned by anime characters, such as Yoriichi Tsugikuni's Nichirin Blade and Whitebeard's Murakumogiri, by consuming magic power.

"Conjuration? Didn't you use receiving magic? How come you can also use manifestation magic?"

Gray looked at Qi Yan in disbelief and boarded the ship at the same time. Because there was a single seat at the front of the ship, he could only stand in front of the rear thruster and hold onto the mast.

"I am a recipient of magic, and this small boat is also the original equipment I used to manifest this character. Ace was a pirate to begin with!"

Ace's single-person speedboat is also one of his frequently used pieces of equipment. A few months ago, he took on an S-class mission to eliminate the top ten pirate crews. He used this small boat to wipe out those pirates, which earned him the nickname "Emperor Flame".

"Hold on tight! We're off!"

Gray didn't quite understand what Qi Yan meant at first, but he soon did.

call----!!

Qi Yan put his hands in his pockets, and flames erupted from his feet.

Immediately afterwards, flames spewed out from the rear and left thrusters, a terrifying thrust appeared, and with a ninety-degree spin, the speedboat rushed out at high speed.

"Aaaaaah!! Faster! Too fast—!!"

Gray gripped the mast tightly with both hands, his whole body swaying like a flag, screaming in terror.

About twenty minutes later, Qi Yan and Gray arrived at Galna Island.

Gray's face turned pale. He had never been on such a thrilling boat before. The boat was incredibly fast. What should have been a four- or five-hour journey, Qi Yan had arrived in less than twenty minutes.

After the two reached the shore, Qi Yan activated his mind and released the receiving posture, and the small boat disappeared.

"According to the letter of authorization, the client is in a village on this island. The village chief is the client who commissioned this mission. Let's go find the village first."

Qi Yan led Gray to search for the village. The village was not difficult to find; there was a path in the woods, and if you followed the path straight, you would find the village.

The two quickly arrived at the front of the village, which looked like a primitive tribe village, surrounded by tall wooden walls to prevent wild animals from attacking the village.

At this time, the village gate was tightly closed, and several large characters were written on the gate: "No Entry".

"No entry. What's going on in this village?"

Is anyone home? Can you open the door?

Gray stepped forward and shouted.

At that moment, Natsu and the others in the village were startled when they heard the voice.

"Gray!!!"

The group immediately panicked.

"What's going on?! Why is Gray here?!"

"I don't know! He's not here to take us back, is he?!"

"Isn't this too fast?!"

They sneaked out last night, and the moment they entered this place, the other side came looking for them.

The village guards looked down and asked, "Who are you?!"

"We are mages from Fairy Tail. Have you seen a blue kitten, a blonde girl, and a very eye-catching, sapphire-red-haired guy with an extremely unpleasant appearance and a terrible personality come here?"

Natsu gritted his teeth in anger when he heard Gray describe him like that: "That bastard Gray! Panty thief!"

They quickly said to the village chief, "Shh! Don't say you've seen us. He's here to take us back. If we're taken back, no one will be able to lift the curse for you."

Upon hearing this, the village chief immediately shook his head, signaling to the guards.

"N-no...I've never seen it before!"

"Could you let us into the village? It's getting late, and we'd like to rest here for the night."

"No...no! This village doesn't welcome outsiders!"

"I see! Then we'll be leaving."

Upon hearing Gray say he was leaving, Natsu and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

boom----! ! !

The village gate was suddenly blown open.

"Waaaaaah!!"...

Everyone was startled.

A mature man's voice rang out from the smoke: "Do you think we're just going to leave like this?"

"This...this sound..."

"No...no way..."

Upon hearing this voice, Natsu and the others were immediately terrified.

Soon, everyone could clearly see what the person at the door looked like.

Black hair, black eyes, black T-shirt, gray pants, black ankle boots—he looked completely ordinary.

But it was this appearance that made Natsu and the others scream in fright, as if they had seen some terrifying monster, no, a monster even more terrifying than a monster.

"Qi Yan!!!"

The village chief and villagers were also somewhat panicked and quickly hid, secretly glancing in this direction.

Crunch!Crunch!

Qi Yan stepped through the broken shards of the gate and into the village.

"Hey! Mission thieves? Good evening!"

Qi Yan said with a smile on his lips.

"Eee-ya--!!

But to Natsu and the others, that smile was even more terrifying than the smile of a devil.

Gray alone is manageable; Gray and Natsu usually fight to a draw. But Qi Yan is different; he's a complete monster.

Most importantly, Qi Yan's current transformation is the 'Tyrant' form, which is said to be Qi Yan's most tyrannical form. It is said that Qi Yan beat up everyone in the guild in this form, and Natsu and Gray were reportedly unable to get down for three days.

Although Lucy had never seen Qi Yan beat up the guild members, she had witnessed Qi Yan's actions when he wiped out the entire Iron Forest Guild.

Lucy and Happy hugged each other, trembling all over. Natsu wasn't much better off, his steps involuntarily backing away, his body shaking uncontrollably.

“Qi...Qi...Qi Yan…”

"Qi Yan, this has nothing to do with me! Natsu and Lucy forced me to do it!"

Happy was the first to succumb to the pressure and immediately chose to betray. Lucy had never seen it, but Happy had. Qi Yan in his 'tyrant' form was the most terrifying.

Upon seeing Happy's behavior, Lucy couldn't help but exclaim, "Traitorous cat!!"

Gray advised, "You guys are really audacious, daring to sneak out to do an S-rank mission. The old man told me to take you back. It's not too late to go back now, otherwise you'll be kicked out of the guild. Go back."

Natsu, barely suppressing his fear, cried out, "No!! Qi Yan! I must complete this S-rank mission no matter what!"

"Ugh!!"

As soon as Natsu finished speaking, he was sent flying.

Natsu's body smashed through houses one after another.

Qi Yan appeared where Natsu had just been, and tapped his ear with his little finger: "Hmm? What did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly, say it again?"

Chapter 79 Is that all?

"Eee-ya--!!

Lucy and Happy were terrified when they saw it and screamed. They were both trembling all over.

Gray slapped his forehead: "That idiot!"

When Qi Yan received the 'Tyrant' form, his personality was at its most violent, just like when Mira received the Satanic Soul, her entire temperament changed drastically.

Faced with Qi Yan in this posture, it's best to go along with his wishes, otherwise you'll be crippled and have no one to complain to.

He just wanted to give Natsu and the others a way out. As long as Natsu and the others backed down and let Qi Yan undo the 'Tyrant' transformation, everything else would be fine.

Natsu slowly stood up, his gaze fixed firmly on Qi Yan: "I said no! I must complete the S-rank mission!"

"Huh—!!"
