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

Jelf finally agreed to leave Tenrou Island.

Riyao watched his figure disappear into the depths of the forest, then patted non-existent dust off his hands, finally seeing the old man off.

He raised his head and looked at the distant sky.

A dark shadow streaked across the sky, from which numerous small soldiers fell, countless black dots plummeting from the air and scattering to every corner of Sirius Island.

"Hmm? It seems that Precht, who has mastered advanced energy technology, has suppressed Kirdas and Makarov."

Riyao squinted, his tone revealing no tension, more like he was watching a show.

A voice suddenly rang in his mind, a telepathic communication from Urutia.

"Sunlight, Precht has sent Azma to destroy your sacred tree."

"I see."

Riyao gave a brief reply, then turned and flew towards the giant sacred tree.

His figure moved swiftly through the woods, landing on the thick branches of the sacred tree in just a few breaths.

The sacred tree's trunk was ridiculously large; the branches at its base were wider than a narrow path, and its canopy blocked out the sun. The entire tree exuded a faint aura of life.

Riyao reached out and touched the tree trunk, his palm against the rough bark, and he could feel the magic flowing inside the sacred tree.

Mebius followed, lightly touching the ground with her toes, and landed on a taller branch beside her, looking down at the Sun.

"What are you going to do?"

"Of course, we'll give everyone a buff!"

Riyao grinned, magic surging within him.

A vibrant green light emanated from his right hand, growing brighter and brighter until it enveloped his entire hand.

[Life Bonus - Super Multiplier]

Sunlight slammed his palm onto the sacred tree.

hum!

The sacred tree trembled slightly, and a visible emerald green ripple spread from its trunk, extending from the sacred tree to the entire Sirius Island.

Wherever the ripples passed, the grass and trees became greener, the flowers bloomed more brightly, and even the air became fresher.

Everyone on Sirius Island could feel the emblem on the back of their hands getting slightly warm.

Lucy raised her hand and saw the emblem on the back of her hand glowing.

The heat seeped into the skin from the emblem, flowing through the blood vessels to the whole body, and an indescribable feeling of comfort welled up from the depths of the body.

"Huh? What's going on? The emblem is glowing."

Levy clenched her fist, and the moment her fingers closed, a sense of power surged from her arm throughout her body.

"Power is surging up!"

"Is that Natsu's line?"

Lucy tilted her head and made a comment.

"Hehe, but that's how it feels."

Levy chuckled and shook her head. She looked down at the emblem on her hand; the light was still radiant.

Gray and Leo also felt the same change.

The two stood in a clearing in the woods, both looking down at their emblems.

"The magic and stamina are endless, it feels so good."

Gray stretched his shoulders, his joints cracking.

"I feel like I can stay in the human world for eight to ten years."

Leo clenched his fist, a look of surprise on his face.

For him, magic is his lifeline; if he doesn't have enough magic, he can only return to the Celestial Realm.

In his current form, he feels he could easily play ten more games.

As they were talking, a strange noise came from the air.

They looked up and saw a strangely shaped goat-headed man descend from the sky and stand steadily in front of them.

The ram-headed man, dressed in a revealing, form-fitting suit, looked elegant, but it was still awkward no matter how you looked at it.

He emanated magical energy unique to the Celestials.

The moment Leo saw him, his pupils contracted sharply, and his whole body tensed up.

"Capricorn! Capricorn!"

Lucy's eyes widened in surprise, her mouth forming an "O" shape.

"Capricorn?! You mean... that Capricorn of the zodiac?"

"Yes, Capricco has been missing for a long time. I never expected to see him here."

Leo's tone became serious, and his gaze was fixed on the goat-headed man opposite him.

"He's in the same situation as me, and he's stayed in the human realm. In fact, he's been there for seven years now."

Lucy blinked, her mind racing, and then a soul-searching question slipped out.

"What?! You've been stuck here for three years, looking so weak you could barely walk. How come he looks so strong? Aren't you the head of the zodiac?"

Leo was deeply hurt by Lucy's words. He staggered back, clutching his chest, his face contorted as if he had been stabbed.

"Lucy, what you said was really hurtful."

"I'm just stating the facts."

"The truth is more hurtful!"

Caprico (Zudir) stood there, bowing slightly, his posture so perfect he could teach etiquette.

"Long time no see, Leo. You look great."

Leo frowned, his fist clenching unconsciously.

He always felt that the Capricorn in front of him was quite unusual.

Although the appearance and magical energy fluctuations were indeed those of Capricco, a sense of incongruity lingered.

Gray casually took off his shirt and threw it onto the grass next to him, revealing his muscular upper body.

"Why say so much? Just kill him. Who cares if he's a Capricorn or not? Anyone who's here is an enemy."

He took a step forward, and a chill began to gather in his palm.

Leo reached out and stopped Gray, his arm across Gray's chest.

"If possible, let Lucy and I take care of him."

"Um?"

Gray looked at Leo in surprise and lowered his hand, which had been gathering cold energy.

Ou didn't explain much, but his eyes said it all.

Gray stared at him for two seconds, then shrugged.

Trusting his partner, he decided not to press the matter.

"Okay, if I lose, I'll laugh at you mercilessly. Don't blame me for being ruthless then."

"Don't worry, we won't lose."

"Levy, let's go."

Gray turned and walked toward the woods, shirtless, his back muscles looking particularly muscular in the sunlight.

"We just saw a lot of stray soldiers scattered around. Let's go clean them up so they don't damage the environment."

"Go, Rukie!"

Levy waved to Lucy and jogged to catch up with Gray.

"Let's go clean up the trash and see if there's anything fun to do while we're at it."

"Don't treat fighting like you're just strolling around town."

The two figures quickly disappeared into the woods, leaving Lucy and Leo alone to face Zudir.

Lucy opened her mouth, looked at Leo, then at the imposing goat-headed man opposite her, and then pointed to herself.

"Do we really have to fight one-on-one? Just the two of us? Didn't you see Gray take his clothes off, ready to fight? Why don't we let him help us?"

I'll explain the situation later.

Leo didn't turn his head; his gaze remained fixed on Zudir.

Judil looked at Lucy and Leo with a calm expression, showing no intention of stopping Gray and Levy from leaving.

His target didn't seem to be them to begin with.

"I wonder how Lady Leila is doing lately?"

Lucy froze, her expression shifting from tense fighting to utter shock.

"What?! You know my mom?!"

"It seems Lady Leila didn't tell you."

As soon as Zudir finished speaking, his body moved.

Stomp on the ground and charge forward.

The speed was astonishing; the hem of the suit jacket was blown straight by the wind.

He transformed into a black shadow and lunged straight at Lucy's face.

Leo's pupils contracted sharply, his body reacting before his brain, and he stepped forward to block Lucy.

He raised his hands and crossed them in front of his chest, and magical light appeared on his arms.

boom!

Zudir's kick landed solidly on Leo's arm, the impact traveling through his arm to his shoulder, and Leo's feet plowed two shallow tracks into the ground.

"Lucy, step back."

Leo gritted his teeth, the magic patterns on his arm flashing, and he withstood the attack.

In Haqiruong Port, sunlight shines on the cobblestone streets, and the sea breeze carries a faint salty scent.

In an open-air café by the sea, a blonde woman leisurely enjoys afternoon tea.

She crossed her legs, holding an exquisite teacup in one hand and flipping through a magazine on the table with the other, looking as relaxed as if she were on vacation.

"Lucy..."

She looked at the article about Fairy Tail in the magazine, a slight smile playing on her lips.

A dignified-looking middle-aged man walked over from across the street and sat down in the chair in front of her.

His steps were steady, and he exuded an aura that only those who had long held a high position possessed.

"Leila, we've figured out what Spectre's request was about a while ago."

Leila looked out the window absentmindedly, her gaze following a seagull flying by.

"It was my rival who did it."

"oh."

Leila's reaction was unusually calm; she put down her teacup and tapped her fingers lightly on the table twice.

"Lucy's guild is really interesting, I want to join too."

The middle-aged man's lips twitched.

"...Sigh, you two are really something."

Jiude sighed, rubbing his temples, feeling that he was about to have a few more gray hairs.
