Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

Natsu ran up, covered in sweat, having crawled back from who-knows-where.

He looked around and, finding no enemies, picked up Gray and set off without a word.

Riyao, who had been squatting in the shadows eating sunflower seeds, popped out, with half a sunflower seed still in his mouth.

"Wait for me! I'm still here!"

The three hurriedly returned to the village, running as fast as they could.

As soon as she stepped into the village, Lucy shouted in a shrill voice.

"Stop! Don't go any further!"

Natsu abruptly stopped, his heel carving a deep mark in the mud.

Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and was about to explain about the trap.

Natsu glanced at the dry grass on the ground and tilted his head.

"What is this?"

After saying that, he stepped on it.

Click~

The trap collapsed, and Natsu and Gray fell into the pit together with a thud.

Riyao looked at this big idiot and wanted to hang them up and beat them up, but in order to maintain his professionalism as an actor, he put his hands on his head and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"My God! Who is this damned bastard?! How dare they try to harm Lord Natsu?!"

Lucy turned her head away awkwardly, her cheeks slightly flushed.

Harpy flapped his wings and flew over, pointing with his little paws.

"Lucy did it all!"

"You stinky cat!" Lucy reached out to grab Happy.

Natsu carried Gray out of the pit, covered in dust and dirt, but Gray was still drowsy on his back.

No sooner had Gray been put down than enemies attacked from the sky.

Angelica flew over with Sherry, Toby, and Yuka on her back, her rat tail spinning and creating a gust of wind. She was also carrying a bucket of corrosive liquid emitting green smoke.

Lucy crouched down, clutching her head, looking utterly devastated.

"I feel like an idiot."

Riyao gave a thumbs-up, his teeth gleaming white.

"Lucy's awareness is truly high! Thai pants are hot!"

Lucy turned her head and complained, her eye twitching.

"You don't need to make up for what you said during the day! And are you making fun of me?! Right?!"

In the sky, Sherry ordered Angelica to pour a corrosive liquid. The green liquid fell from the sky, enveloping the entire village, and the air was filled with a pungent, sour smell.

The village chief held onto his son's tombstone, refusing to leave, his murky tears streaming down his demonized face.

"This is my only remaining thought..."

Natsu started running, kicking a deep hole in the ground beneath his feet, and then jumped high.

"Happy!"

Happy said "Aye," flew over, caught Natsu, and soared into the sky.

Natsu ignited flames in his hands and brought them together, the intense heat condensing into a giant fireball in his palms, the heat distorting the surrounding air.

"The Fiery Dragon's Blazing Flame!"

The fireball struck the liquid and exploded the instant it made contact, scattering the liquid with a deafening roar.

The liquid fell in a ring, corroding the roofs, walls, doors and windows of the village buildings. White smoke hissed from the wood, and the bricks collapsed like melted butter.

Fortunately, the explosion created a hollow area, and no one was injured.

Even the village chief was saved by Baluge. Baluge emerged from the ground, her short pink hair flowing, and gracefully helped the village chief up.

Riyao ran over, his face filled with gratitude.

"My goodness! This pink-haired lady is so grateful to you! If it weren't for you, the village chief would have already started the feast!"

He wiped his drool as he spoke.

Barug glanced at Riyou, her usually calm eyes filled with a hint of doubt.

She seemed to have sensed something, but didn't say anything.

Sherry and her group swaggered over, as if they were surveying their own territory.

Nazu urged the villagers to run, his voice urgent.

Riyao ran ahead, pointed at them, and started cursing, spitting everywhere.

"You bunch of immoral bastards! Don't you know how dangerous it is to throw things from high-rise buildings? Look, my village is gone!"

Yuka snorted coldly, her two caterpillar-like eyebrows furrowing together.

"You ugly creature, how dare you speak to me? Get lost."

Sherry, riding Angelica, launched a charge, flying low as she rushed forward.

Lucy instinctively grabbed Angelica's toes and was lifted into the air, her long golden hair dancing wildly in the wind.

Sunlight ponders: Is this the choice of destiny?

Natsu pounced on Solari and pinned him down, the two of them lying face down on the ground.

Yuka launched an attack at some point, a wave of energy swept over their heads, distorting the air.

"Watch out! Klass!" Natsu shouted.

Riyao scrambled to his feet, brushed the dirt off his clothes, and shouted, "I'll fight you to the death!"

His demonic hand slammed towards Yuka's stomach, the black scales gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

Yuka activated Wave Magic, creating a wave barrier in front of him, with blue ripples spreading like the surface of water.

"Hmph, you natives would never understand how powerful wave magic is."

However, Sunburst's Demon Hand seemed unaffected, directly piercing through the wave barrier and striking Yuka's stomach.

boom!

Yuka curled up like a shrimp, clutching his stomach, and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.

"What do you do?!"

Sunburst raised his demonic hand, its dark scales gleaming in the moonlight, baring its large teeth.

"I'm a farmer! People call me 'Awesome Kras'!"

After hearing this, Yuka collapsed to the ground, her eyes rolling back in her head.

Natsu also showed off his intelligence by squatting down in front of Toby with a sincere expression.

"Hey! There's something on your face."

Toby touched his face, his fingers brushed against his eyebrows, and he paralyzed himself, collapsing to the ground. His limbs twitched a couple of times and then stopped moving.

Natsu put his arm around Sunrise's shoulder and said excitedly, his eyes shining like two stars.

"Wow! You're really capable! Why don't you join our guild?"

Riyao appeared flattered, covering his mouth with his hands and his eyes reddening.

"Can I really do it?"

After settling Gray in, Riyao patted his chest, looking determined.

"I am now the hope of the entire village, the 'person' most likely to leave the village! I will fight alongside Lord Natsu to defeat the evil villains!"

Natsu patted Sunrise on the shoulder and grinned, "I'll definitely get you into the guild when we get back!"

The sun rose quietly, and dawn broke. The golden sunlight scattered the purple moonlight.

The two walked towards the ruins.

At this point, Lucy and Happy on the beach had already been arrested by Erza and Mirajane.

Erza's face was frighteningly dark. She had changed into imposing armor, crossed her arms, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Lucy! Happy! How dare you accept an S-rank commission without permission!"

Lucy and Happy lowered their heads, trembling like two little animals who had done something wrong, too afraid to speak.

Mirajane asked with a smile, her long silver hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

"Have you seen Riyao? Riyao should have arrived a long time ago."

Lucy and Happy looked up in surprise, exclaiming in unison.

"Sunrise arrived a long time ago? We didn't see it."

Mirajane rested her chin on her hand in thought, her silver eyelashes fluttering slightly.

"Then he must be protecting you secretly."

Riyao, who was on his way, sneezed and rubbed his nose. Mira must be thinking of me.

……

Natsu and Sunlight spent most of the day rushing back to the ruins, which were on the other side of the island, opposite to the village.

The two ran wildly along the coastline, leaving deep footprints in the sand beneath their feet.

Riyao asked, panting as he ran.

"Lord Natsu, what are your plans?"

Natsu stroked his chin, pretending to think, his brows furrowed, his expression serious, for a long two and a half seconds.

"Why not just destroy the ruins?"

Sunlight slightly obstructed, reaching out to pull Natsu.

"But historical sites are relics, this isn't right."

Natsu raised his little head and proudly puffed out his chest.

"It's alright, I've destroyed quite a few antiques."

You seem pretty proud of yourself, kid.

Makarov, far away in the guild, felt a chill and instinctively clutched his pockets tighter.
