Chapter 512

Guild Master Makarov looked at the cheering guild members, a gratified smile appearing on his face. "Everyone has done very well; you are the pride of Fairy Tail!" His voice was filled with praise and pride.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Li An became the guild's hero. Everyone gathered around, casting admiring glances at him.

"Li An, you are too amazing! If not for you, we would have been in trouble this time." Lucy said gratefully.

"Yes, Li An, you are our great hero!" Other members also chimed in.

Li An's face turned slightly red, and he said somewhat embarrassedly: "This is the result of everyone's hard work; I just did what I should have done." His voice carried a hint of humility, but even more so, gratitude toward the guild members.

Sunlight filtered through the stained glass, spilling into the Fairy Tail guild hall, where laughter and chatter rose and fell. Having just experienced an intense battle, the guild successfully repelled the external enemy, and the members were immersed in the joy of victory. Natsu excitedly jumped onto a table, loudly recounting his heroic feats during the battle, drawing bursts of cheers from the surrounding companions. Lucy sat together with Guo Yao, sharing amusing stories from the battle, and the two occasionally let out clear laughter.

However, Li An stood alone in a corner, his brows furrowed tightly, a trace of worry revealed in his eyes. He frowned slightly, slowly closed his eyes, and tried to capture that faint, strange aura. 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 strangeness; she walked over gently and asked with concern. Her eyes were filled with worry as she reached out and gently held Li An's hand.

Li An slowly opened his eyes, looked at Guo Yao, and forced a faint smile: "It's nothing; I might be overthinking it." But in his heart, he knew clearly that the matter was far from that simple.

In the following days, Li An began to investigate that strange aura in depth. He moved through every corner of the guild, carefully studying every possible clue. He discovered that the guild's magical fluctuations seemed somewhat abnormal, as if an invisible force was slowly devouring the guild members' magical power.
