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

"king!!!"

"Kill him!!"

Seeing their king being knocked away, a large number of trolls charged at Qi Yan once again.

Qi Yan gripped the Murakumogiri with both hands. The Murakumogiri blade was wrapped with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and any swing of it could cause enormous destruction.

Watching the troll's miserable screams and the city being destroyed, Qi Yan felt a sense of satisfaction. No wonder Natsu liked destruction so much; sometimes, destruction really is super fun.

Here, he doesn't need to suppress his fighting power; he can just wreak havoc at will.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—!

The earth and buildings of the troll capital were constantly being torn apart, and the trolls that charged at Qi Yan were constantly being injured and falling down. After about ten minutes, no troll dared to attack Qi Yan anymore.

With each step Qi Yan took forward, the trolls retreated a step.

Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at Qi Yan, as if they were seeing an incredibly terrifying monster.

Seeing that the trolls had stopped attacking him, Qi Yan also stopped attacking. Although these trolls looked like monsters, they were intelligent beings, and as long as they didn't provoke him, he was too lazy to fight them.

Using the Murakumogiri as a cane, he walked step by step through the streets of the troll capital, looking very calm and at ease. Every time the cane touched the ground, it made the trolls tremble.

The trolls stood on both sides of the street, not daring to approach Qi Yan at all.

At that moment, the sounds of fighting came from outside the royal city.

Immediately afterwards, giants clad in armor stormed into the gates of the Troll King's city.

The Giant King charged ahead, raising his axe and shouting, "Brother Qi Yan!!! We've come to save you—!!!"

The Giant King's voice echoed over the Troll City, as if telling Qi Yan not to be afraid, that the giants would not betray their friends, and that their giant kingdom would come to the rescue no matter the cost if their friends were in danger.

"Wait! Your Majesty! Something's not right... Troll City seems to have been destroyed..."

The giant king's men immediately sensed something was wrong. The scene they had imagined—the trolls charging at them and fighting to the death—did not occur. The entire capital was eerily quiet.

Upon hearing this, the Giant King looked up and saw that many parts of the Troll City had been destroyed, especially the Troll King's Palace, which had completely collapsed.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a relatively short figure walking slowly down the main street of the troll capital, amidst the fearful gazes of many trolls.

"Eh? Your Majesty the Giant King, what brings you here?"

Upon hearing the Giant King's shout, Qi Yan quickly walked over.

"You...you...you're Brother Qi Yan?!"

The Giant King looked at Qi Yan, whose appearance had changed drastically, and could hardly recognize him. Wasn't Qi Yan a teenager? How did he become an old man? And wasn't that white beard a bit too sticky?

Qi Yan also noticed the Giant King's expression, so he dispelled the receiving magic and returned to his original appearance.

Upon seeing Qi Yan's appearance, the Giant King realized he hadn't mistaken him for someone else.

"Brother Qi Yan? What... what's going on?!"

The Giant King was somewhat bewildered by the situation before him. The trolls didn't attack Qi Yan; they simply watched as he swaggered away.

"Oh? Them! They're terrified of me."

Chapter 123 Humans are terrifying

"You're...afraid of killing?!"

All the giants were stunned by Qi Yan's words.

They had fought the troll kingdom their entire lives and knew how terrifying its strength was. These trolls were utter barbarians, each one tall and incredibly strong.

Their giant kingdom only managed to suppress these barbarians thanks to their superior weaponry and excellent combat skills.

Qi Yan single-handedly swept through the Troll Kingdom; if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they certainly wouldn't have believed it.

But seeing the timid and hesitant looks in the eyes of the trolls, they knew it was true.

This human boy has truly terrified the trolls.

Qi Yan said that although he caused considerable damage in the Troll capital, he didn't actually kill that many trolls.

These trolls are even more terrifying than giants in terms of physical strength alone; it takes a lot of effort to kill one.

With his magic power, he might be able to kill a hundred, but his magic power would probably be almost depleted, while there are tens of thousands of trolls in this royal city.

Most importantly, he himself did not have any major grudges against trolls, and the Mage Guild also had relevant regulations prohibiting him from participating in national wars.

The Giant King nodded in agreement upon hearing Qi Yan's words.

Although they had already led their men into the troll capital, he knew that trolls were not easy to deal with, and if a real battle broke out, their giants would certainly suffer heavy casualties.

Their original purpose in coming here was to rescue Qi Yan. Now that they have achieved their goal, there is naturally no need for them to stay here any longer.

The giants left with Qi Yan.

The trolls breathed a sigh of relief after Qi Yan left.

"That human is terrifying!"

"Aren't humans outside supposed to be quite weak? How can there be such terrifying monsters?"

"Yes! To be able to cause such terrifying destruction, is this human magic?"

Many people have already gathered at the gate of the royal city, waiting anxiously.

At that moment, heavy footsteps sounded, and the Giant King returned with his people.

"We're back!!"

The Giant King shouted.

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Everyone in the giant capital cheered.

They already knew that Qi Yan had rescued these children; Qi Yan was the benefactor of their entire Giant Kingdom.

"To celebrate the children's return! And to welcome our hero, Qi Yan!! Let's have a feast tonight!!"

The Giant King loudly announced the start of a banquet.

"Oooooooooooooooo!!!"

All the giants shouted excitedly!

The children were rescued, which is indeed a good thing to celebrate.

Soon, all the giants got busy. They gathered in the central square, set up a bonfire, and laid out fruits, food, wine, and drinks around it.

Many giants danced and jumped around the fire, their faces beaming with joy.

The children who were rescued by Qi Yan all looked at him with admiration.

Giant King Haiya raised his glass and gently clinked it against Qi Yan's, then the two of them drank the wine in one gulp.

"Aha! That felt great! So satisfying! These past few months have been so frustrating because of the kids! Now that I've given those troll bastards a good beating, it feels so good! Hahahaha!!"

The Giant King laughed heartily.

Qi Yan learned from his conversation with the Giant King that the other's name was Haiya.

Queen Lina said, "This is all thanks to your help, Qi Yan. It's unbelievable that you were able to rescue all the children from the Troll Capital. Qi Yan, you're not an ordinary mage, are you?"

Although Lina and Haiya had never been to the human world, they had gathered a lot of information about humans. Ordinary human mages were not even as good as the children of their giant race. Even powerful mages were only comparable to adult giants in strength.

Qi Yan's displayed strength is too exaggerated, even more exaggerated than Makarov back then.

"Hmm... not bad."

Qi Yan wasn't sure what his skill level was, but he felt it was probably similar to that of the Four Heavenly Kings of Ishgar.

The continent of Ishgar is vast, and countless powerful beings are hidden within it, such as the giants and trolls, whose strength is truly terrifying.

"How could he be alright? Qi Yan is definitely the strongest mage on the continent. Lina, you have no idea how ridiculously strong Brother Qi Yan is. He just swaggered out of the Troll King's City all by himself, and none of the trolls dared to stop him. He's so domineering!"

Hya said excitedly.

Lina smiled and said, "Alright, I've heard you say it so many times, Qi Yan. Even if you're not the strongest on the continent of Ishgar, you're definitely in the top three. It's unbelievable that you have such great strength at such a young age. Humans are still the race that can create miracles."

While enjoying the banquet, Qi Yan chatted with the Giant King and Queen, during which he learned about how the Chairman met the two of them.

The guild leader also came here to do a mission back then, and then met the Giant King and Queen. The three of them defeated the monster Hydra together, and from then on, they were revered as heroes of the Giant Kingdom.

During this time, the old man confessed his feelings to Lina and wanted to invite her to leave with him, but she refused. She only regarded Makarov as a younger brother, and she and Haiya were childhood sweethearts with a deep affection for each other. Moreover, it was too inconvenient for giants to live among humans. She loved her hometown and would never leave.

After that, the old man had no choice but to return to the guild alone, because the Giant Kingdom was relatively closed off, and the distance between the two sides was almost across the continent of Ishgar, and they had not been in contact since then.

Qi Yan hadn't expected the old man to have such a past, but thinking about it, it made sense; the old man must have been a protagonist of his time when he was young.

The banquet lasted until late at night. The next morning, Qi Yan packed his luggage and said goodbye, preparing to leave.

"Qi Yan, are you going back so soon? Why don't you stay a little longer?" Qi Yan had helped so much, and the Giant King wanted Qi Yan to stay here a little longer to properly express his gratitude.

Qi Yan smiled and declined, saying, "No, the guild is still being rebuilt, and I need to go back to help. It's also a bit far from Fairy Tail, and everyone will worry if I stay here too long."

"Since that's the case... alright! Then I won't insist that you stay."

When Qi Yan arrived at the gate of the royal city, he found a large crowd gathered there, including the children and their parents whom he had rescued.

"Brother Qi Yan!"

When Buli and the other children saw Qi Yan coming, they all shouted happily.

"Buri, Ella, what brings you both here?"

Ella laughed and said, "Since you're leaving, of course we had to come and see you off!"

"Brother Qi Yan, I want to become a man like you when I grow up!"

"Oh! I believe in you. You must grow up to be a strong man who can protect your mother."

"Brother Qi Yan, can I marry you when I grow up?" a giant girl who had been rescued by Qi Yan asked him.

Upon hearing this, Qi Yan broke out in a cold sweat: "Uh... compared to Brother Qi Yan, you're already quite old."

"Hahahahaha!!!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw Qi Yan's embarrassed appearance.

"Alright everyone, that's enough for now!"

"Full Body Absorption - Ulquiorra!"

Qi Yan received Ulquiorra, and saw Qi Yan transform again.

All the children got excited; there were even other transformations! It was so cool.

Wow! That's so cool!

Qi Yan touched the ground with his toes and was already standing in mid-air.

"Wow!! It's Fei—?!"

The giants were astonished, while the children cheered with joy. It turned out that Brother Qi Yan could actually fly.

Qi Yan waved his hand and said, "Goodbye everyone!"

Take care!

Come visit again sometime!

The Giant King shouted, "The Giant Kingdom will always be a friend of Fairy Tail! If you ever need our help, just let us know, and we'll definitely be there!!"

Qi Yan waved his hand, then activated a Resurrection stance, flapping his black wings forcefully, and flew rapidly back the way he came.

Although he wasn't exactly a helpful person, the feeling of being genuinely thanked wasn't bad.

Chapter 124 Lumen Starshine

Just like when he came, Qi Yan chose to fly across the Grand Canyon.

After Qi Yan's magic power reaches six stars, he will no longer be as stingy with his magic power when accepting characters as he was at the beginning.

Magic itself isn't anything valuable; it can be quickly restored as long as you get enough rest.

Of course, overuse of magic can also cause intense fatigue and may lead to danger in case of emergencies.

Therefore, Qi Yan's choice was simple: when his magic power was half depleted, he could either stop and rest or choose to take a mode of transportation.
