(During the Qingming Festival, I climbed mountains all day and am now basically in a state of sore back, aching waist, and cramping legs. Writing under these conditions is almost unbearable. Ugh, friends, it's really too much to ask for support...)

"Hey, Brother Noah..."

Lisanna's pretty face was filled with hesitation and uncertainty.

"Has our magic power increased?"

"I thought it was just my imagination." Noah closed his eyes and slightly sensed the vast ocean-like magic power within him, then nodded.

"Although it's only a very small amount, I can indeed feel that my magic power has increased a bit."

"Brother Noah already has very strong magic power, so it's not surprising that you feel the increase is small. But I feel that my magic power has increased by about one-tenth." Lisanna said, somewhat surprised.

"Could this be because we entered the Tenrou Island?"

"Probably." Noah directed his gaze toward the giant tree ahead, the Tenrou Tree standing in the center of Tenrou Island.

"I can sense that the amplified magic power in our bodies is being transmitted from the direction of the Tenrou Tree. It seems to be a blessing from the Tenrou Tree, specifically for the members of the 'Fairy Tail' guild."

There was one more thing Noah didn't say.

That is, Noah could clearly feel that the part of the magic power transmitted from the Tenrou Tree and amplified in his body was now rapidly transforming into Noah's own magic power, merging with his already vast magic power.

Originally, this part of the externally amplified magic power should have dissipated on its own after Noah left Tenrou Island, but now it was being completely absorbed by Noah.

The reason for this, Noah knew.

Four years ago, Makarov had said that Noah's constitution was very special, possessing three unique characteristics.

1: Immunity to and exclusion of all indirect negative forces and side effects acting on Noah's body.

2: Absorption of all external forces that enter Noah's body, originally not belonging to Noah.

3: Self-recovery of magic power.

Now, the magic power amplified by the Tenrou Tree due to entering Tenrou Island should have triggered the second characteristic of Noah's constitution.

Therefore, that magic power was all arrogantly claimed by Noah's special constitution, benefiting Noah himself.

Although the increase in magic power was not significant for Noah, who already had strong magic power, if it were someone else, it might take one or two years of cultivation to achieve this.

For Noah to gain this benefit out of nowhere, it was quite good.

"Hmm?"

At this moment, Noah, relying on his excellent sensing ability, noticed something was amiss.

The astonishing magic power contained in the earth of Tenrou Island suddenly seemed to become chaotic, flowing wildly.

"This is..." Noah was surprised, immediately squatting down and placing his hand on the ground, beginning to sense seriously.

Seeing this, Lisanna, understanding that Noah had started working and seemed to have discovered something, immediately closed her mouth and watched silently from the side.

However, Lisanna's non-interference did not mean that other beings would also obediently watch from the side.

"Roar——!"

With a long howl, a huge head emerged from the trees on one side.

It was a giant, peculiar creature with a neck longer than a python, a head resembling a fish, elephant-like limbs, and a body like a shell-less giant turtle.

Although it was not one of those monsters that specifically attack humans, the fierce light in its eyes, which never stopped staring at Noah and Lisanna, clearly indicated that it was not a herbivore.

"Roar——!"

Instantly, the peculiar creature with a fish head, elephant feet, and a turtle body let out another whistle-like howl, charging toward Noah and Lisanna like a mountain, crushing the ground and trees in its path.

"——!"

Lisanna's face changed, but she did not panic. Seeing that Noah did not seem to intend to act, her courage immediately burst forth, and she rushed past Noah toward the peculiar creature.

"Take Over——!"

A magical glow flashed on Lisanna's slender body.

In almost an instant, Lisanna's figure rapidly grew and elongated.

Then, a plump, purple-furred rabbit, with a napkin around its neck and a body as large as the mountain-like peculiar creature, burst out of the magical glow and collided forcefully with the peculiar creature.

"Thud——!"

With a dull sound, the peculiar creature let out a painful cry, its charging massive body stopping.

"Ah!" The giant rabbit form of Lisanna also let out a painful cry, retreating two or three steps, causing the ground to tremble.

"Roar——!"

The peculiar creature's cry now carried a hint of anger. Its python-like long neck suddenly shot out like an arrow, wrapping around Lisanna like a rope when she was caught off guard.

In the next second, the giant peculiar creature tightened its neck, binding the purple-furred giant rabbit form of Lisanna.

"Roar——!"

The fish-like head aimed directly at Lisanna's face, the peculiar creature's mouth opened, revealing rows of teeth sharper than a crocodile's, and it bit down heavily on Lisanna's face.

Lisanna only managed to instinctively close her eyes.

Immediately, a clear sword whistling sound echoed.

"Clang——!"

"Roar——!"

The painful cry of the giant peculiar creature reached Lisanna's ears.

At the same time, Lisanna felt the long neck binding her body disappear.

Immediately, Lisanna opened her eyes and saw the giant peculiar creature, as if encountering a natural enemy, fleeing into the forest with a series of ground-shaking steps.

"Are you okay?"

Noah, standing under the giant rabbit form of Lisanna, slowly sheathed his magic knight sword, which was still in its scabbard, with a nonchalant look.

"Phew..." Lisanna let out a breath, her body returning to its original form in a magical glow, her expression somewhat dejected.

"In the end, I still had to rely on Brother Noah..."

"Do you actually want to deal with that strange creature on your own?" Noah patted Lisanna's smooth shoulder and smiled.

"Judging from my perspective, although that guy looked ugly, there aren't many in our guild who could defeat it in a one-on-one fight. Only someone at the level of Natsu and Gray might stand a chance. You managed to hold it off for a while, which is already quite impressive."

"Is that so?" Lisanna's expression relaxed, and she looked at Noah.

"By the way, Brother Noah, did you discover anything?"

Noah neither confirmed nor denied, but directly gazed at the Tenrou Tree, a thoughtful glint flashing in his black eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be some kind of existence on Tenrou Island interfering with the island's own magic power!"

"So, the discovery of Tenrou Island by the outside world is indeed due to the chaos in its own magic power?" Lisanna tilted her head, puzzled.

"What should we do then?"

"Isn't it obvious?" Noah chuckled.

"Find the source of the interference!"

As if angered by Noah's words, the next moment, dark clouds gathered in the sky over Tenrou Island, turning the entire sky pitch black.

"Rumble——!"

A thunderclap echoed.

"Rush——!"

A torrential rain instantly poured down, drenching the entire ground of Tenrou Island.

Noah, standing at the edge of Tenrou Island, could only stiffen his face, allowing his body to be soaked in the rain.

"Ha ha!" Seeing Noah's stiff expression after his grand declaration, Lisanna couldn't help but laugh, taking Noah's hand.

"Before that, let's find a place to take shelter from the rain!"

Noah could only nod helplessly. (The novel "All-Around Fantasy" will have more fresh content on its official WeChat platform, along with 100% lottery gifts for everyone!
