Chapter 513: Finally Reduced to an Ordinary Person

Finally, in the guild's ancient library, Li An found some clues about this curse. It was an old magic book recording a forgotten curse—the "Curse of Mana Exhaustion." Once this curse takes effect, guild members will gradually lose their mana, eventually becoming ordinary people.

"How could this happen..." Li An's face turned pale, his hands trembled slightly, and his heart was filled with shock and fear. He knew that once this curse fully erupted, Fairy Tail would face total destruction.

Carrying this terrible news, Li An hurried back to the guild hall. At this moment, the guild was still bustling, but Li An felt that everything was like a false calm before the storm. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly, "Everyone, quiet down! I have something important to say!"

Everyone turned their heads to look at Li An's grave expression, and the hall instantly fell silent. Natsu jumped down from the table and asked with a puzzled look, "Li An, what's wrong? What happened?"

Li An walked forward slowly and told everyone exactly what he had discovered about the curse. As he spoke, everyone's faces gradually became grave, and a tense, oppressive atmosphere filled the hall.

"This... how is this possible?" Lucy covered her mouth, her eyes full of terror. Her body trembled slightly, unable to believe this terrible fact.

"Damn it!" Natsu angrily punched the table, instantly smashing a large dent into it. His eyes burned with rage as he shouted loudly, "Who did this? I will find him!"

Master Makarov slowly stood up, his face covered in wrinkles, and his eyes revealed deep worry: "This curse is too ancient; removing it will not be easy. But we cannot give up; we must find a way."

In the following days, guild members began trying various methods to remove the curse. Natsu searched everywhere for powerful magical items, hoping to find the key to breaking the curse; Lucy flipped through magic books day and night, trying to find more clues about this curse; Wendy used her healing magic, attempting to alleviate the curse's erosion of members' mana.

However, all efforts were in vain. The curse's power grew stronger and stronger, and the guild members' mana continued to drain away. Unable to use magic, Natsu became increasingly irritable; he often hid alone in a corner, silently enduring the pain in his heart... Watching his companions grow weaker day by day, Lucy felt filled with helplessness and despair, and tears often welled up in her eyes.

"Why? Why can we do nothing?" Natsu roared angrily, his voice echoing through the guild hall. His eyes were filled with pain and unwillingness; he punched the wall again and again, blood flowing from his fists.

Watching his suffering companions, Li An felt immense pressure. He knew he must find a way to remove the curse as soon as possible, otherwise Fairy Tail would be completely destroyed.

Thus, Li An began searching for clues even more frantically. He recalled knowledge gained in various worlds, trying to find a spark of inspiration 2.2. He stayed awake day and night, consulting various magic materials, missing no possible detail.

Finally, by chance, Li An discovered a forgotten legend. The legend said that in a distant, mysterious land, there existed a treasure named "Tear of the Stars," possessing powerful purification power, perhaps capable of removing this ancient curse..
