A direct hit!
Weston sighed inwardly.
Guild Master Giselev truly lives up to his position as guild master.
The moment he saw me appear in the guild, he immediately guessed the purpose of my visit.
Weston didn't answer his question, but simply tuned into the magic map and glanced at it.
"One more minute."
"The enemy will arrive in about one minute."
One minute isn't long, but it's enough to say goodbye, Weston thought, at least enough time for this father and daughter to say their final farewell.
But... "No need."
"I've already said what needs to be said in advance."
"Waking Zera up now will only make her feel pain and fear, so let her sleep well."
"You take her and hide her in a safe place, and when she wakes up tomorrow, it will all be over."
Wait for her to wake up and face the sky falling?
But since Guild Master Giselev has said so, Weston won't insist.
Boom—!!!
A violent cannon blast came from afar, followed by a chaotic clamor of shouts, villagers running for their lives and crying for help, the sounds of battle, and the sounds of various buildings collapsing.
"It seems they've arrived!"
Weston looked at the map, where hundreds of red dots had already entered the village, blocking all the entrances and exits in a siege formation.
Guild Master Giselev stood up: "Kid, I'm leaving Zera in your protection from now on."
"Alright."
Receiving a positive answer, Guild Master Giselev smiled with satisfaction.
His smile was mixed with tears, making it even more unsightly than crying.
Then, he grabbed a chair from the tavern as a weapon, strode out of the tavern door, and after briefly identifying the direction, rushed towards the most chaotic part of the village.
"Huff..."
"We need to leave quickly too!"
Weston carried the sleeping Zera on his back, took Mavis out of the guild, and ran in the opposite direction.
As the familiar houses and streets receded, the surrounding sounds of chaos grew louder and louder.
"Kill! Kill! Leave no one alive!!"
"Hahaha... the treasures are all mine!"
"Stop them!!"
"Go to hell!!"
"..."
The sound of wind, the sound of fire, the sound of fighting, the sound of cries for help, and the sound of various magic bombardments were all mixed together.
The raging sea of fire illuminated the night as bright as day.
In both his past and present lives, this was the first time Weston had encountered such a scene.
He listened to these sounds and watched these scenes, feeling uneasy in his heart.
In the end, he couldn't help but complain.
"This era is really dangerous, why wasn't I born a hundred years later?!"
Thinking of the prosperous, lively, and peaceful Magnolia in the anime, the passionate, youthful, and invincible 'Fairy Tail', the guild members who would activate cheats at the slightest disagreement and never die no matter how hard they were hit... and then comparing it to everything before his eyes.
Weston only felt tired.
With the help of the magic map, Weston could monitor the location of the Mages invading the island in real time, which provided great help for him and Mavis's escape.
The two tried their best to avoid the places where the enemies were gathered, advancing in a roundabout way. Plus, they were small, so they weren't eye-catching in such a chaotic scene. They actually managed to avoid several crises along the way.
"If we go a little further, there will be fewer enemies, and then the chance of a successful escape will be greatly increased..."
Unfortunately, man proposes, but God disposes!
Just as Weston felt that he was about to see the hope of life, a loud bang came from ahead.
In the darkness, a thick pillar of fire cut through the sky, collapsing four or five houses with the force of thunder, piercing two or three walls. Instantly, flames splashed, rubble flew, and smoke filled the air.
Then, two Mages with ferocious faces walked out of the smoke, stopping right in front of Weston and Zera.
The two sides were less than five meters apart!
This is bad!
He was so busy avoiding the red dots that he forgot that this wasn't a game, and the other party didn't have to follow the usual path!
Weston cursed inwardly, and Mavis was even more frightened and trembling.
"Oh, what do I see? There are actually two poor little kids here who can't find their daddy!"
The man on the left was tall and strong, with muscles all over his body, holding a broad and heavy iron sword in his hand.
"No, should it be three?"
"Little friends, don't be afraid, come to uncle's side..."
The man on the right was thin and old, with a gloomy aura all over his body, holding a magic staff with a faint blue light.
Obviously, the two people in front of them were two of the Mages who had invaded Tenrou Island.
The strong man holding the sword asked, "What should we do?"
The old Mage replied, "Don't hold back, kill them all."
"Really? But they are children!"
"Do you think it's a good thing to keep them? We are a Dark Guild, we don't need to worry so much!"
"Run!"
Before the other party could finish speaking, Weston grabbed Mavis's hand, changed direction, and rushed into the nearby alley.
"Want to escape? Dream on!"
The strong man shouted loudly, swung his right arm, and threw the long sword at the two with force.
The flying sword was fast and heavy, and it caught up to the two in the blink of an eye.
Dong—!!
With a loud crash, the flying sword ruthlessly pierced through the figures of the two, and stuck tightly into the ground, but no blood splattered, and no broken limbs fell, but a large amount of gravel splashed!
"What's going on, they disappeared?!"
The strong man suddenly widened his eyes, unable to believe that he could also miss.
"Idiot, look carefully, that's just an illusion!"
"Their real bodies are over there!!"
The old Mage pointed his magic staff in another direction, and the strong man looked over, and sure enough, he saw two small figures, and was immediately surprised.
"So it's an illusion? But when..."
"Wait! Are you saying that such a small child can already use such exquisite Illusion Magic?!"
"Hehehe..."
"These two little devils are very interesting!"
The old Mage smiled coldly, raised the magic staff in his hand, and aimed it at the two fleeing in the distance.
After a brief gathering of magic power, countless blue fire pillars shot out from the top of the magic staff!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
The fire pillars were extremely fast and dense, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed dozens of meters, flying straight from one end of the street to the other.
Rumble... countless buildings were collapsed, smashed, and broken by the fire pillars.
The unparalleled high temperature scorched every location it hit, and even the stones could not escape their fate, turning into coke in a few breaths.
"Weston, the attack is coming again!!"
Noticing the magic attack behind her, Mavis's face became even more panicked.
Her magic had just awakened, and although she could already create illusions that were realistic enough to be mistaken for reality, her real body could not be hidden.
"I know, you have to hold on tight!"
Stopping his left foot in an instant, and turning his body smoothly, Weston protected the two girls behind him, facing the enemy's magic attack head-on.
