Guild Master Makarov looked at the cheering guild members, a pleased smile spreading across his face. "You all did a great job! You are the pride of Fairy Tail!" His voice was filled with praise and pride.
Amidst cheers, Li An became the guild's hero. Everyone gathered around, casting admiring glances at him.
“Lian, you’re amazing! If it weren’t for you, we would have been in real trouble this time,” Lucy said gratefully.
“Yes, Li An, you are our greatest hero!” the other members echoed.
Li An blushed slightly and said somewhat shyly, "This is the result of everyone's hard work. I just did what I was supposed to do." His voice carried a hint of humility, but more so, gratitude towards the guild members.
Sunlight streamed through the stained glass, illuminating the Fairy Tail guild hall, where laughter and chatter filled the air. Having just weathered a fierce battle, the guild had successfully repelled their enemies, and the members were immersed in the joy of victory. Natsu excitedly jumped onto the table, loudly recounting his heroic exploits, drawing cheers from his companions. Lucy and Guo Yao sat together, sharing anecdotes from the battle, their cheerful laughter ringing out intermittently.

However, Li An stood alone in the corner, his brows furrowed, a hint of worry in his eyes. He frowned slightly, slowly closed his eyes, trying to catch that strange feeling. This feeling was like the calm before a storm, filling his heart with unease.
"Li An, what's wrong?" Guo Yao noticed Li An's unusual behavior. She walked over gently and asked with concern. Her eyes were full of worry as she reached out and gently took Li An's hand.
Li An slowly opened his eyes, looked at Guo Yao, and forced a smile: "It's nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking it." But he knew in his heart that things were far from that simple.
Over the next few days, Lian began to investigate the strange aura more thoroughly. He traversed every corner of the guild, carefully examining every possible clue. He discovered that the guild's magical energy fluctuations seemed abnormal, as if an invisible force was slowly consuming the magical energy of the guild members.
Chapter 330 Ultimately reduced to an ordinary person
Finally, in the guild's ancient library, Lian found some clues about the curse. It was an ancient magic book that recorded a forgotten curse—the "Curse of Mana Depletion." Once this curse took effect, guild members would gradually lose their magic power and eventually become ordinary people.
“How could this be…” Li An’s face turned pale, his hands trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with shock and fear. He knew that once this curse was fully unleashed, Fairy Tail guild would face annihilation.
Carrying this terrible news, Li An rushed back to the guild hall. The guild was still bustling with activity, but Li An felt it was all a false calm before the storm. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Everyone, quiet down! I have something important to say!"
Everyone turned to look at Lian's serious expression, and the hall fell silent. Natsu jumped off the table, asking with a puzzled look, "Lian, what's wrong? What happened?"
Li An slowly stepped forward and told everyone everything he had discovered about the curse. As he spoke, everyone's expressions gradually became solemn, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere filled the hall.
"This...how is this possible?" Lucy covered her mouth, her eyes filled with horror. Her body trembled slightly, unable to believe this terrible fact.
"Damn it!" Natsu slammed his fist on the table in anger, instantly creating a large dent. His eyes blazed with fury as he roared, "Who did this? I'll find them!"
President Makarov slowly stood up, his face covered with wrinkles, his eyes revealing deep worry: "This curse is too ancient, and it will be no easy task to break it. But we cannot give up, we must find a way."
In the days that followed, the guild members began trying various methods to break the curse. Natsu searched far and wide for powerful magical items, hoping to find the key to breaking the curse; Lucy spent her days and nights studying magic books, trying to find more clues about the curse; Wendy used her healing magic to try to alleviate the curse's erosion of the members' magic.
However, all their efforts were in vain. The curse grew stronger and stronger, and the guild members' magic power continued to drain away. Natsu, unable to use magic, became increasingly irritable, often hiding alone in a corner, silently enduring his inner pain... Lucy watched her companions grow weaker and weaker, her heart filled with helplessness and despair, tears often welling up in her eyes.
"Why? Why can't we do anything?" Natsu roared angrily, his voice echoing in the guild hall. His eyes were filled with pain and resentment as he pounded his fists against the wall, blood streaming down his knuckles.
Looking at his suffering companions, Li An felt immense pressure. He knew he had to find a way to lift the curse as soon as possible, or Fairy Tail guild would be utterly destroyed.
So, Lian began searching for clues even more frantically. He recalled the knowledge he had gained in various worlds, trying to find a glimmer of inspiration. He worked day and night, consulting all sorts of magical materials, not overlooking any possible detail.
Finally, by chance, Li An discovered a forgotten legend. The legend tells of a treasure called "Tears of the Stars" in a distant, mysterious land, possessing powerful purifying abilities that might break this ancient curse.
Chapter 331 Tears of the Stars
"This is it!" Li An exclaimed excitedly, his eyes shining with hope.
However, the path to finding the "Tears of the Stars" is fraught with peril. The mysterious land lies deep within remote mountains, protected by powerful magical barriers and guarded by various formidable magical beasts.
Without flinching, Lian decided to venture into the mysterious land alone. Although Chairman Makarov was worried, he knew this was their only hope. He gripped Lian's hand tightly and said, "Lian, everything is in your hands now. We believe in you!"
Li An nodded and turned to leave. Guo Yao rushed over, grabbed Li An's hand, her eyes full of worry: "Li An, I want to go with you."
Looking into Guo Yao's determined eyes, Li An felt a surge of emotion. He gently stroked Guo Yao's hair and said, "Okay, let's go together."
The two embarked on a journey to find the "Tears of the Stars." Along the way, they encountered various dangers. Powerful magical beasts constantly attacked them, and magical barriers posed numerous obstacles. However, Li An and Guo Yao supported each other, relying on their unwavering faith and tenacious perseverance to overcome danger time and time again.
Finally, they arrived at the core area of the mysterious land. On an ancient altar, a gem radiating brilliant light lay quietly—the "Tear of the Stars."
However, just as they were about to take the "Tear of the Stars," a figure suddenly appeared. It was Joseph, the guild master of the Ghost Dominator Guild, a sinister smile on his face: "Haha, you thought you could get the Tear of the Stars so easily? It's mine now!"
Joseph waved his wand, unleashing powerful magic towards Li An and Guo Yao. Li An quickly shielded Guo Yao behind him, gathering all his strength to defend against the attack.
“Joseph, you despicable bastard!” Lian shouted angrily, “Do you think this will stop us?”
"Hmph, try it!" Joseph sneered, his magical attacks growing increasingly fierce.
Lian and Joseph engaged in a fierce battle. The surrounding environment was ravaged by magical power, with boulders rolling down and trees uprooted. Guo Yao watched anxiously from the sidelines; although she couldn't offer any help, her heart was always with Lian.
Just as Lian was getting into trouble, he suddenly remembered the techniques he had learned in the Digital World when he fought the Dark Lords. Taking advantage of the gaps in the enemy's attacks, he cleverly found a weakness in Joseph's magic and then launched a powerful attack.
With a loud bang, Joseph was sent flying. His face was filled with shock and resentment; he hadn't expected Lian to be so powerful.
"Now, it's my turn!" Lian seized the opportunity to rush towards the altar and picked up the "Tears of the Stars." He gathered a powerful purifying force in his hand and shot it towards Joseph.
Joseph stared in horror, trying to dodge, but it was too late. Under the impact of the purifying power, his body gradually disappeared, leaving only a desperate scream.
Li An and Guo Yao returned to the Fairy Tail guild with the "Tears of Stars". The guild members were filled with hope upon seeing them return safely.
Lian placed "Tears of the Stars" at the center of the guild's magic circle, and a powerful purifying force instantly spread out. Under the effect of the purifying force, the curse gradually dissipated, and the guild members' magic power began to slowly recover.
"We did it!" Natsu shouted excitedly, tears of joy welling up in his eyes.
Chapter 332 The Guild Regains Its Vitality
"That's great!" Lucy jumped up excitedly, and she hugged her friends tightly.
Guild Master Makarov looked at the revitalized guild with relief in his eyes: "Lian, thank you. You saved our entire guild."
Everyone gathered around, filled with gratitude and respect for Li An. Li An smiled as he looked at them, his heart brimming with a sense of accomplishment.
However, before they could properly celebrate, a new crisis quietly descended. As they prepared to travel to the world of "D.Gray-man," Guo Yao suddenly felt unwell. Her face turned pale, and a strange, holy power emanated from her, seemingly eroding her body.
"Yaoyao, what's wrong?" Li An asked anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.
Guo Yao shook her head painfully: "I...I don't know either, I feel so uncomfortable..."
A strange light flashed, and Li An, tightly protecting Guo Yao, stepped into the world of "D.Gray-man". An ancient and mysterious aura enveloped them; the surrounding architecture was old and solemn, and the pedestrians on the street hurried along, their eyes revealing vigilance and unease.
"Guo Yao, how are you?" Li An looked anxiously at Guo Yao in his arms. Her face was as pale as paper, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her body was trembling slightly.
Guo Yao forced a smile, her voice weak: "I... I can still hold on, it's just that this holy power is becoming more and more out of control within me."
Li An frowned, his heart filled with anxiety. He knew that Guo Yao's condition was urgent and that a way to control the holy power must be found as soon as possible. He looked up into the distance, and a magnificent and imposing building came into view—the headquarters of the Black Order.
“Let’s go there, maybe they can help you,” Li An said, supporting Guo Yao as they walked towards the Black Order.
Along the way, Li An noticed that people around them were giving them strange looks. The atmosphere here was oppressive and gloomy, as if an invisible pressure was shrouding everything.
Finally, they arrived at the gates of the Black Order. The guards at the gate watched them warily, their weapons slightly raised.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" the guard shouted.
Li An took a deep breath and said calmly, "We are here to seek help. The holy power in my girlfriend's body has gone out of control, and we need the help of the Order."
The guards exchanged glances, and one of them said, "Wait here, I'll go report."
A moment later, the guard returned and led them into the cult's interior. Along the way, Li An felt all sorts of gazes directed at him—curious, suspicious, and wary.
When they arrived at a spacious hall, a group of exorcists were gathered there. Kanda Yu stood in the crowd, his eyes cold, and a hint of hostility flashed in them the moment he saw Li An and Guo Yao.
"Who are you? Why are you suddenly here?" Kanda Yu asked coldly, his arms crossed and his body leaning slightly forward, as if ready to launch an attack at any moment.
Li An stepped forward and said politely, "My name is Li An, and this is my girlfriend, Guo Yao. We come from another world. The holy power within Guo Yao has gone out of control, and we have come to seek help."
Kanda Yu scoffed, "Another world? Who would believe such an absurd claim? I think you have ulterior motives."
Li An frowned; he hadn't expected to encounter such a significant obstacle.
Chapter 333 Unmoved
He tried to remain calm and said, "I know this is hard to believe, but it's true. We meant no harm; we just wanted to save Guo Yao."
Kanda Yu remained unmoved. He took a few steps forward, emanating a powerful aura: "Hmph, empty words are meaningless. Who knows if what you say is true or false? In my opinion, you are a suspicious person."
The surrounding exorcists watched, some with puzzled expressions, others with indifferent ones. The atmosphere in the hall was so tense it felt like it could ignite the air.
A surge of helplessness and anger welled up inside Li An, but he knew now was not the time to act rashly against 957. He took a deep breath and said, "I understand your suspicions, but I really mean no harm. I also have some knowledge of exorcism; perhaps we can exchange ideas."
Kanda Yu chuckled dismissively: "You? What do you know about exorcism?"
Just then, Lina Li stepped out from the crowd. Her eyes were gentle and kind as she looked at Li An and Guo Yao, a hint of sympathy in them.
“Kanda, don’t say that yet. They don’t seem like bad people; maybe they really are in trouble,” Lenalee said, her voice soft but firm.
Kanda Yu glanced at Lenalee, frowned slightly, but still didn't say anything.
Lian looked at Lina Li gratefully and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I really came here seeking help, and at the same time, I also want to find a way to control the holy power."
Just then, the higher-ups of the cult entered. Their gazes lingered on Li An and Guo Yao for a moment, then one of the older exorcists spoke up: "We heard you've come seeking help? And from another world?"
Li An nodded and explained the situation in detail again.
After hearing this, the higher-ups exchanged glances. Just as they were discussing the matter, Kanda Yu suddenly launched an attack.
"I think you're just stalling for time, take this!" Kanda Yu shouted, and the Six Illusions in his hand were instantly drawn, a cold light shooting towards Li An.
Li An was startled, but he reacted quickly, dodging to the side. The cold light grazed his clothes and struck a nearby stone pillar with a loud bang.
"Kanda, what are you doing!" Lenalee exclaimed, her face filled with shock and anger.
Kanda Yu ignored her and continued her attack on Li An. Li An dodged while inwardly groaning. He didn't want a conflict with Kanda Yu, but it seemed unavoidable now.
