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

"Is it a lot? It's alright."

Soon, the two boarded the train together, found seats, and the train slowly began to move.

"Qi Yan, I'm sorry to trouble you this time."

Erza felt somewhat guilty for making someone risk their life to accompany her on an S-rank mission when they had only just met.

Qi Yan waved his hand: "It's no trouble at all. I normally have to go to work too. I should thank you for letting me take on an S-level mission."

Hearing Qi Yan say that, Erza felt much better.

The two chatted casually, and Qi Yan discovered that Erza was a very talkative girl. It was very easy and comfortable to chat with Erza, and when they got tired, they rested.

It took about three days for the two to arrive at Noah, the capital of the Kingdom of Sobea.

"How spectacular!"

Qi Yan couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the towering city wall, which was hundreds of meters high.

Unlike open cities like Magnolia, this capital is entirely surrounded by walls hundreds of meters high, making it look tall and majestic.

The city walls still bear traces of damage and dried blood, making it easy to imagine that this was not just decoration, but a real battle of iron and blood that had taken place.

Even though we're used to skyscrapers and magnificent buildings, the architecture on the actual battlefield still gives us a completely different kind of shock.

"Yes! It's spectacular!"

Like Qi Yan, Erza was also awestruck by the sight; she had never seen such tall city walls before.

There is a gate at the foot of the city wall, where all tourists and merchants are queuing up to be inspected before entering the city.

"What are you two doing here?"

Before long, the guards came to Qi Yan and Erza and questioned them.

Erza said, "We are mages from Fairy Tail. We've been asked to come here to complete a mission."

The guard nodded. Many mages had come here, many of them for the magical beasts in the Demon Forest.

What's in the box?

"Luggage?! So much?!"

The guard was equally startled. Were they here on a mission? Or were they here to move house?

Suddenly! A scream rang out.

"A monster!!"

Chapter 18 The King's Mission

Upon hearing this sound, the crowd immediately erupted into chaos.

Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a huge monster, about four or five meters tall and resembling a wild boar, appearing at the edge of the forest, with flames burning on its hooves and back.

The guard's expression changed drastically upon seeing the monster.

"Oh no! It's a five-star monster! A Fiery Boar!!"

"Prepare to attack!"

The guards immediately sprang into action.

"Roar----!!"

The fiery porcupine let out a roar and charged straight towards them.

"Bang!!!"

"Ughhhhhh!!"

"Waaaaaah!!"...

The fiery porcupine charged wildly, sending all the guards flying.

Just as they were about to rush into the crowd.

A figure rushed forward quickly.

*Pfft!*

The figure passed by the Flaming Porcupine, leaving a huge wound on the porcupine's body, from which blood spurted.

The five-star monster, the Fiery Porcupine, collapsed to the ground.

Erza sheathed her sword. It was Erza who had just made the move. Seeing that the crowd was about to be attacked and suffer heavy injuries, Erza intervened.

"Amazing!!"

"That's a five-star monster, a Fiery Boar! She was defeated in one hit! Who is she?!"

"Could it be a six-star, or even seven-star, swordsman?"

When the crowd saw the monster defeated by Erza, they couldn't help but applaud and marvel at the strength Erza had displayed.

The guard quickly approached, this time with eyes full of respect: "Respected swordswoman, thank you so much for your help just now, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"I only intervened because I saw someone was about to get hurt. I hope I didn't get in your way."

The guard quickly waved his hand: "No! No."

"Please check as soon as possible, we are preparing to enter the city."

"No need, no need! Welcome to Sword City, please come in! We hope you have a pleasant stay in Sword City!"

The guards didn't even check them before letting Erza and Qi Yan pass.

"It seems the people here really respect swordsmen!"

Qi Yan could clearly sense the change in the guards' attitude towards Erza.

Erza explained, "This is Sword City, where everyone reveres swordsmen. The higher a swordsman's star rating, the higher their status. I've always wanted to come here, but I've never had the chance."

The two people walked in through the gate of the city wall.

The first thing you see is an extremely tall statue located in the city center, a huge statue that is about two hundred meters tall.

The sculpture depicts a man in armor, standing there with his hands resting on a large sword, his deep eyes gazing at the sky.

"What a tall statue!"

Qi Yan was deeply shocked when he saw the statue; he felt as if he had entered a magical world.

"who is he?"

"Sword Saint Noah!"

Erza looked at the statue and said, "I heard that his swordsmanship was extraordinary, so he was revered as the Sword Saint."

Erza's eyes were filled with longing and admiration. Although she was not a pure swordsman, she used a sword most of the time and still had great respect for those with superb swordsmanship.

"The Sword Saint..."

Qi Yan didn't know how skilled this person, who was revered as the Sword Saint, was at swordsmanship, but in terms of swordsmanship, he absolutely did not believe that anyone could surpass Yoriichi Tsugikuni.

"let's go."

The two walked forward along the main street.

The streets were bustling with people, and almost everyone carried a sword, even the children.

Weapon shops were everywhere on the street, and the two of them even passed a school called Swordsman Academy.

It can be said that the entire city is filled with the scent of swords, truly deserving of its name as the Sword City.

If you continue along the main street, you will arrive at the royal palace of the Kingdom of Sobea, where the client is located.

"Stop ahead!"

The palace guards stopped Qi Yan and Erza.

Erza stepped forward and said, "We are mages from Fairy Tail, and we came here on a request."

"A mage? Please wait!"

The guard immediately went to inquire.

After a while, a minister in his fifties came out.

"Are you two mages from Fairy Tail?"

"I am Lamen, a minister of the Kingdom of Sobea. Please come this way."

Qi Yan and Erza followed the minister into the palace.

The palace here is not particularly luxurious; in fact, it appears rather plain compared to other royal palaces.

Soon, Qi Yan and Erza followed the ministers into the royal palace hall.

"Your Majesty! The Fairy Tail mage has arrived."

The minister bowed to the king on the throne.

Qi Yan and Erza also looked at the king, who was about forty or fifty years old. He looked sharp and muscular, and was more like a general than a king.

King Reno smiled and said, "Welcome, Fairy Tail mages."

"Your Majesty, we have been commissioned to come here."

King Reno nodded: "Yes, I have been notified."

"Could you please explain the mission in more detail? The information on the letter of authorization is limited, and the more we know, the greater our chances of completing the mission."

"Of course, that's exactly what I wanted to say. Let me tell you a story first. You all know who founded this city, right?"

Erza nodded: "It's Sword Saint Noah."

"Yes! Sword Saint Noah was also my ancestor. Four hundred years ago, my ancestor killed the demon dragon Alazam here and founded Sword City. People also respectfully call him Hero Noah."

"Yes, that's the legend."

Erza seems to have heard this story as well.

"In fact, not all legends are true. My ancestors did not kill the dragon Alazam, but sealed it away and founded Sword City to protect it for generations."

"Now, four hundred years have passed, and the power of the seal is gradually weakening. We don't know when the demonic dragon will break through the seal, and then the entire Kingdom of Sobeia may be devastated."

"So I planned to summon the ancestral sword to suppress it, but the monster seemed to know about this plan and controlled a large number of demons to guard outside the temple. Once anyone approached, it would control the demons to kill them."

"Today, countless people have perished in the mouths of monsters."

Qi Yan said, "So you mean you plan to have us break through those demons to enter the temple and bring back the sword, right?"

The king shook his head, his expression turning serious, and said:

"No, no, I intend to kill the dragon completely."

Chapter 19 SS-Rank Mission

"what?!"

"Kill the dragon?!"

Qi Yan and Erza were both shocked by the king's audacious idea.

That's the dragon race. Even the most ordinary dragon legends are enough to easily destroy a country.

Erza wasn't surprised by the existence of dragons, since Natsu was raised by the fire dragon Igneel, meaning that dragons are real.

Qi Yan, however, was different. He had watched more of the Fairy Tail anime. Dragons, even ordinary ones, were beings that humans could hardly defeat. Apart from Dragon Slayer Magic, human magic was almost useless against dragons. Dragons were the greatest darlings of this world.

They are born with long lifespans, powerful physiques, and the ability to use powerful dragon magic.

A powerful Dragon Slayer Mage might be able to kill a dragon, but it is extremely difficult for someone who is not a Dragon Slayer Mage to do so.

The biggest reason is that dragons have an innate and extremely strong resistance to human magic. Most magic is ineffective against dragons, and even if it does have an effect, the damage will be greatly reduced.

"That's right! Kill the demonic dragon! After being sealed for four hundred years, the demonic dragon's strength must have been greatly weakened. Rather than waiting for it to break the seal and slowly recover its strength, we should strike first, break the seal proactively, and then kill it to eliminate any future troubles!"

The king spoke with a serious expression.

Qi Yan and Erza were both somewhat taken aback by the king's boldness and courage.

Erza said, "Your Majesty, slaying dragons is something that completely exceeds the scope of an S-rank mission."
