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

The villagers now understood why Qi Yan had beaten Natsu so badly; it turned out the other boy had stolen his job.

"I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I caused you some losses. These losses will be deducted from your reward after the mission is completed."

The village chief quickly waved his hand and said, "It's alright! It's alright! It's just some cheap wood anyway, you can find it everywhere in the forest, it can be repaired quickly."

"Alright, now tell me about the mission."

Although we already know how to break the so-called curse, there are still some procedures to follow.

The village chief turned and directed, "Everyone, take off your cloths."

Everyone in the village took off the cloths they were wearing.

All of them had parts of their bodies that were mutated. Some had scales growing on their arms, some had horns on their foreheads, and some were covered with various shells, making them look like parts of a demon.

"This is……"

Gray was very surprised when he saw this.

Lucy couldn't help but swallow hard. Although she had already seen what the boatman had done and was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy seeing this situation.

"You're probably surprised, aren't you? All the creatures on this island, even the dogs and birds, are under this curse."

Gray voiced his doubts: "What's the basis for your claim that this is a curse? Isn't it some kind of disease?"

“We’ve seen over a dozen doctors, and they all say there’s no such disease. Furthermore, they say our condition is related to the ‘magic of the moon.’”

"The magic of the moon? What is that?"

Lucy couldn't help but ask.

“This island has always been bathed in moonlight since ancient times, making the entire island as radiant as the moon. However, a few years ago, the moonlight suddenly turned purple.”

Gray and the others were somewhat surprised. Isn't the moon always white? How could it have turned purple?

"The moon is out!!"

Harpy pointed to the sky, where the moon slowly rose from the clouds, its purple light shining on the earth.

"It really is purple!!"

"This is the curse of the moon's magic... Waaah... Waaah..."

"Ughhhhh!!"...

All the villagers wore expressions of pain.

"Hey! What's wrong with you guys?!"

Seeing the villagers in such pain, Gray and Lucy were both somewhat panicked.

In the blink of an eye, all the villagers began to change, and soon, everyone's entire body transformed into a terrifying demon form.

scare----!!

Lucy and Gray were immediately stunned. Qi Yan was also startled. To be honest, it wouldn't be surprising if any one of these people went out alone at night and scared someone to death, let alone when they appeared together. Even if he already knew that these people were demons, who wouldn't be afraid?

"I'm sorry to have startled you. When the purple moon appears, we turn into this ugly state. If this isn't a curse, what is it?"

“In the morning, everyone will return to their original state, but some people whose souls have been devoured cannot return to their original state. If left unchecked, he will kill everyone. I had no choice but to kill my own son.”

The village chief, tears streaming down his face, held up a photograph.

"That person... wait?!"

Lucy and Happy's expressions changed when they saw the photo; wasn't that the same boatman who had brought them here?

"It is because of the magic of this purple moon that we have become like this. Gradually, our hearts have been devoured, and we have become true demons."

"Therefore, there is only one way to help us break this curse, and that is..."

"Destroy the moon!"

Chapter 81 Giving Another Chance

“Eh——?!”

Hearing the village chief's request, Lucy and the others were startled. Destroy the moon? Are you kidding me? Who could destroy the moon? Even the most powerful mage couldn't do that.

"Hmm... I am aware of the situation you described. I still need to investigate how to lift the curse."

"Then... Sir Mage, when can the curse be lifted?"

"Tomorrow evening."

Qi Yan said calmly.

"Tomorrow night!!"

"Great!"

"that is really good!"

"The curse will be lifted tomorrow night!"...

The village chief and villagers were overjoyed to hear Qi Yan's affirmative answer, and they cheered and jumped for joy. They were driven almost crazy by the curse, and finally they were going to be able to break the curse.

Gray quickly whispered in Qi Yan's ear, "Hey! Qi Yan, we haven't even figured out the curse yet. Isn't it too hasty to give an exact time so soon?"

Qi Yan smiled confidently and said, "Don't worry! I know what I'm doing."

Upon hearing that Qi Yanming would be able to lift the curse tomorrow night, the village chief became eager: "Someone! Quickly take the mages to the guest rooms to rest, and prepare fruits and food for them to enjoy."

Soon, the villagers led them to the guest room. Natsu was also carried in by the villagers, his whole body covered with ointment for bruises and sprains, and he was tied up like a dumpling.

Even so, it didn't stop him from eating. Seeing Natsu's energetic appearance, Lucy and the others breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Qi Yan was right; Natsu had only suffered some superficial injuries.

"Waaah... Qi Yan, you went too far! You actually hit me so hard!"

Naz complained to Qi Yan that it hurts him to move even slightly now.

Qi Yan said irritably, "If I don't go all out, you won't learn your lesson. You secretly went on an S-rank mission and even tricked Lucy into going with you. How could you even think of that?"

Natsu muttered under his breath, "Didn't you do the same thing back then, tricking Elfman into doing S-rank missions with you?"

"The most important thing is that you secretly did S-rank missions, but what you shouldn't have done was steal my S-rank mission. I've already gone easy on you. If there's a next time, I'll break your legs and see if you can still sneak out."

S-rank missions are crucial to his speed of becoming stronger. Sometimes, he would spend many days in the guild waiting for an S-rank mission.

The S-rank mission was almost stolen, so how could Qi Yan not be angry?

Natsu was startled by these words. Qi Yan might not break his legs when he was in other forms, but he was definitely capable of doing so when he was receiving the Tyrant.

But there was nothing he could do; there was only one S-rank commission on the second-floor commission board.

"The more I look at this moon, the more creepy it becomes."

"It's purple," Harpy said, looking out the window at the purple moon in the sky.

Seeing this, Lucy quickly said, "Happy, hurry up and close the window. Have you forgotten what the village chief said?"

"What did he say?"

"If we stay under the moonlight for too long, we will also turn into demons."

Harpy said nonchalantly, "What does it matter! Qi Yan will lift the curse tomorrow night anyway, and if I transform into a demon, I might look pretty cool!"

"By the way, curse, Qi Yan, are you going to destroy the moon tomorrow night?"

Natsu asked with great interest.

Gray retorted, "How could that be? How could humans destroy the moon? Even if Qi Yan is strong, he definitely couldn't do it."

"But their request is to destroy the moon. If we can't do it, wouldn't that damage Fairy Tail's reputation?"

"If we can't do it, we can't do it. Besides, even if they asked us to destroy the moon, we can't actually do it. If we destroy the moon, we won't be able to enjoy it anymore."

"Yeah, so that means the Fairy Tail limited edition special moon-viewing steak is also gone!!"

Harpy chimed in, "I can't do without my moon-viewing salted fish jerky."

Lucy, looking speechless, complained, "How did we end up talking about food all of a sudden? Weren't we talking about the curse? Qi Yan, since you said you'd lift the curse tomorrow night, you must have figured out a way to do so, right?"

Qi Yan took a bite of the apple and nodded: "Yes!"

"Wow! Qi Yan, you figured out how to break the curse so quickly? What exactly is this curse all about?"

Everyone looked at Qi Yan with curiosity. This curse seemed too terrifying; it could actually turn a person into a demon. They also wanted to know how Qi Yan would lift the curse.

"Didn't you want to do an S-rank mission? Then I'll give you another chance. I'll lift the curse tomorrow night. In the meantime, you can try to lift the curse. If you succeed, it will count as you completing an S-rank mission."

"real?!!"

Several people became excited upon hearing this.

"Great! If we complete the S-rank mission, won't we be able to go up to the second floor?" Lucy said happily. If she could go up to the second floor, wouldn't her status in the guild be the same as Qi Yan's?

Gray shook his head: "No, you can't go up to the second floor. When Qi Yan completed the S-rank mission, the guild master didn't allow Qi Yan to go up to the second floor. It was only after he became an S-rank mage that he was allowed to go up to the second floor."

"That's alright! As long as we become S-rank mages, our guild's status will be greatly enhanced."

"Love~~!"

"Haa~~~! You guys keep discussing, I'm going to sleep now."

Qi Yan yawned, then lay down and covered himself with the blanket to rest. Before long, Qi Yan fell into a deep sleep.

At dawn, the sun rises high in the sky, its warm rays dispelling the darkness of the night and bringing new life to the world.

Qi Yan stretched.

"So good~~~!!"

The Sun Breathing Technique's inherent restorative abilities allowed his body to fully recover overnight, and his depleted mana was also fully replenished, leaving him brimming with energy.

Good morning!

A weak, feeble voice sounded behind Qi Yan.

Qi Yan turned his head and said, "Good morning... um?... What happened to you guys?"

All three people and the cat looked listless and as if they were about to die.

Gray yawned, exhausted, and said, "It's all because we were discussing how to lift the curse, and I didn't get any sleep all night."

"Did you reach any conclusions that night?"

Lucy shook her head: "I have no clue."

The group was puzzled. They had all come with Qi Yan, so how could Qi Yan have figured out how to break the curse? They tried to recall the details, but they couldn't find anything different. However, Qi Yan's confident demeanor didn't seem fake at all. Clearly, he already knew how to break the curse.

Chapter 82 I Have Something to Do

Then, thump thump thump!

"Magician, breakfast is ready. The village chief invites you to come and have your meal."

The door opened, and a very cute-looking girl appeared in the doorway, making it impossible to imagine that she had turned into such a terrifying demon last night.

The group followed the girl to the canteen, where the village chief was already waiting.

"Good morning, esteemed mages! You all look unwell. Is it because you're surrounded by demons and can't sleep?"

Lucy quickly waved her hand: "No, that's not how it is."

"Haha, it's alright. Not to mention the mages, even we ourselves would be terrified if we saw our own demonic appearance in the mirror. What plans do you mages have next? I can send the villagers along."

Lucy said, "We plan to investigate the island. Since the island was normal three years ago, something strange must have happened during these three years. Something on the island caused the anomaly, turning the moon purple. Village Chief, is there anything suspicious on this island?"

Upon hearing Lucy's words, Qi Yan's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation. Three heads are better than one, and with Happy, there were four of them. After discussing it all night, they would naturally have some results.

"Well... if I had to pinpoint a suspicious point, there is indeed one... but..."

Natsu and the others' eyes lit up immediately: "It really is! Where?!"

This is crucial to their success in completing the S-class mission; they cannot afford to overlook any important clues.

"There's a ruin on that mountain over there. Three years ago, a purple beam of light would appear there every night."

"A purple beam of light?! Isn't that highly suspicious?!"

Natsu and the others became excited upon hearing this.

"Didn't you investigate?!"
