"This is going to be difficult!"
"I didn't expect the plot to start at the same time!"
Zorn sat by the bed, frowning in thought. In dragon cry, Natsu had entered his half-dragon form, his strength skyrocketing, to beat the Crystal Dragon.
Although Erza, Juvia, and Gajeel were strong, they were still facing a dragon.
And with other enemies also involved, it would be hard for just a few of them to handle.
"What are you thinking about? It wouldn't take long for you to go back and forth!"
"And, this was requested by Makarov, the Master!"
"He said that with your speed, you could bring the scepter back without anyone knowing, which would avoid international issues!"
Cana leaned in and told Zorn the Master's exact words, smiling.
She didn't seem to notice that this action exposed her figure completely, and Zorn swallowed hard.
To be honest, although he had seen it many times, every time he saw it, his blood still rushed, like the first time, a true surge of adrenaline.
Zorn stared without blinking, and Cana was momentarily stunned.
Following his gaze, she realized her impropriety. She flicked Zorn's head, her face slightly flushed, and said shyly again, "Did you hear what I said?"
"Hurry back, I'll be waiting for you here!"
Cana stood up, tightened her bath towel, and ordered Zorn.
"Alright, alright!"
"To prevent the situation from escalating further, I'll go myself!"
Zorn calmed his racing heart. The Master's command was the most important. Since the old man had said so, he could only give up on the tender embrace.
Just as he stood up,
"Who's there—ah!"
Lucy's scream came from her room.
"Huh?"
Zorn flashed with golden light first, disappearing from the room. Cana also picked up her card, a flash of light, changed her clothes, jumped out the window, activated her Observation Haki, and headed towards the perceived direction with Simi.
"Ah~"
Lucy, pulling Eclair, frantically dodged the cloaked figure's attacks. When a sharp blade was about to strike her, she dodged in a hurry, missed her footing, and fell towards the open ground.
Then, a golden light flashed in the air, and the two were quietly enveloped by the light, suspended in the air, safely returning to the town's platform.
"Eclair, Lucy, are you two alright!"
The little chick flapped its wings and descended from the air, anxiously confirming their safety.
"Haha, I'm a bit late, mainly because there were too many scattered minions!"
"It took some time to catch them!"
Zorn appeared in the air, with dozens of chains extending from behind him, each chain shackling a masked cloaked figure.
Lucy immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Zorn was here, there was no need to worry about any enemies.
"Blades, shoot him!"
The cloaked figure saw Zorn in the air, and all the companions he had brought were captured by Zorn. He was shocked.
These were all people he had arranged to lie in wait nearby. It hadn't even been 30 seconds since he started his operation.
In this short time, he had captured Everyone spread throughout the town, and he noticed that the captured people didn't have a single scratch on them.
It was instantaneous; they didn't even have time to react, and a single blow rendered Everyone immobile.
How did this person do it?
The cloaked figure frowned deeply, but he dared not relax, facing a formidable enemy.
Just based on this, he could already determine that this person was not someone he could deal with. There was only one word!
Escape!!!
The next moment, countless sharp blades appeared around his body. He brought out all the blades he had. If he held back any longer, he might really be left behind.
He had to report the situation here.
Under his control, the blades, emitting chills, swiftly attacked Zorn.
His figure slowly sank into the shadows, intending to use this opening to escape.
However, he saw countless blades, the moment they approached Zorn, were instantly bounced back by countless lights, shooting towards himself.
