Chapter 98.2 : Wendy Kidnapped??

"I have to admit, your power is truly terrifying," Cobra said calmly, showing no sign of panic. "But I can hear all your movements."

He dodged the rock chains with ease, the strong wind from them making his coat flutter.

"Heh," Tiffany sneered, "Then try to dodge this."

*Boom!*

Tiffany swung the rock chains faster and faster, like two ribbons twisting wildly in the wind.

Despite the speed, the power remained undiminished. Each time the chains struck the ground, they left deep gouges.

Cobra was sweating profusely.

With such power, an ordinary person would be crippled, if not killed outright. He might have to reveal his true ability.

Even if he did, he couldn't withstand many hits.

No more delays!

Focusing intently, he dodged the attacks, steadily closing in on Tiffany.

He was like a venomous snake, adept at finding weaknesses and delivering fatal blows.

Meanwhile...

Though Racer was fast, Erza was no ordinary fighter and wouldn't be easily defeated.

But the opponent's speed was indeed frustrating.

"Why haven't Mr. Ichiya and Mr. Jura caught up yet?!" Erza wondered, puzzled. Those two strong men shouldn't be this slow.

Of course, she didn't mention Everit's name.

"They won't catch up. They've been killed," Racer said.

"What?" Erza was momentarily shocked but quickly recovered.

Impossible!

Not only were Ichiya and Jura incredibly powerful, but Everit was also no slouch. His absence meant he wasn't involved in the fight. This could only mean Jura was facing an issue.

Since Everit was present, there was no way those two could be killed!

But she kept this thought to herself.

Erza was half right.

Ichiya and Jura weren't dead.

But Everit wasn't with them. He had followed Angel to the lair of the Oración Seis.

As he approached, he frowned slightly.

Something was amiss.

"Why are there so many people here?" Everit thought to himself, surveying the lair of the Oración Seis. There were over fifty individuals present. 

Judging from their magical aura, they were no mere lackeys; many were seasoned members of major guilds, some even elite.

"It's an ambush!" Everit concluded swiftly, without hesitation turning to flee.

Meanwhile, Angel returned to the lair of the Oración Seis.

Inside, he encountered an elderly man cloaked in black, hunched over with a third eye on his forehead. Fresh sutures on either side of the eye suggested recent surgery.

The old man glanced inward, sighing softly.

"How did it go?" Angel inquired.

"Unfortunately, the plan failed," the old man lamented. "Our target was too cautious. He narrowly avoided stepping into our trap just outside the barrier."

"He's truly as formidable as you described?" Angel asked skeptically.

The old man nodded knowingly.

"He single-handedly decimated elite teams B59 and B87. He's not to be underestimated."

This elderly man was their ally—a formidable force from the north, boasting numerous scientists and powerful magicians. Initially pursuing their own methods to unlock Nirvana's seal, they had been approached recently. 

The newcomers offered cooperation: access to Nirvana's secrets, technological aid, and assured support in breaking the seal and confronting any opposition from the Official Guilds.

But there's one condition - he must be part of the decision-making.

Leader Brain relied on his own strength. Although there were a few strong men in the group, they paled in comparison to him, so Brain agreed.

Later on...

Upon receiving intelligence from the coalition army, the old man was thrilled and meticulously devised plans - essentially, a meticulous strategy against a man named Everit.

The first plan:

Considering Everit's magical abilities, Angel's infiltration would likely fail.

But knowing Everit's character, he wouldn't immediately capture Angel. 

The old man proudly declared, "He's incredibly confident in his magic. He's brazenly approached enemy strongholds in numerous battles, from Galuna Island to Phantom Lord."

Thus, Everit would surely follow Angel to the lair of the Oración Seis.

This was their opportunity.

Once he dared to approach, they would activate the barrier, enhanced by their latest magnetic field sensing technology, to completely neutralize his magic!

A single coordinated assault would finish him!

Killing Everit was crucial for the next phase of the plan to succeed!

Of course, the old man preferred capturing Everit alive and then coercing him into their service, maximizing their advantage.

However, the Oración Seis dismissed the old man's concerns as excessive.

How could someone relatively unknown and not even an S-Class wizard warrant such elaborate measures? This level of planning could rival any of the Ten Wizard Saints!

"Haha, isn't it chilling?" The old man taunted Angel, "Do you realize he was less than two meters from you just now?"

"What?" Angel exclaimed, scanning their surroundings instinctively.

"If he had wanted to, he could have drawn his sword and you wouldn't have reacted in time. He could have easily taken your head."

As soon as the old man said this, Angel began sweating profusely and was terrified. She couldn't believe the other party would be so bold as to follow her. 

Even if he dared to, she assumed he'd keep his distance, so she was relaxed. But then he spoke, within two meters of her... hiss...

"So, it truly is a frightening magic," Angel remarked.

Angel swallowed hard. 

"That guy didn't do anything to me along the way!"

Like an invisible presence, he had followed her the entire time.

She was a beautiful girl.

Just thinking about it made her shudder!

"That I don't know," the old man shook his head. "Let's proceed with the second plan."

Meanwhile,

Seeing Erza quickly adapt to the rhythm, Racer felt the pressure intensify.

And Cobra closed in on Tiffany.

The distance was just right!

Attack!

Cobra dashed towards Tiffany!

"Venomous Dragon's Fangs!"

The toxic mist condensed into a giant snake's mouth, sinking its teeth into Tiffany.

Simultaneously, a purple venomous snake slithered out from Cobra's armpit. This combined attack was truly cunning and vicious, difficult to defend against!

But Tiffany scraped her palm with her nails, and the blood that flowed turned into red lines, wrapping around her fist and arm like a boxer's hand wraps.

She threw a punch.

"Destruction·Forest Fire Fist!"

'Boom'

The devastating force came with a powerful gust of wind.

The toxic mist was blown away instantly.

Cobra and the venomous snake couldn't even steady themselves against the fierce wind and were sent flying!

An insidious offensive thwarted.

On Erza's side, Racer was sweating profusely, feeling overwhelmed by the pressure.

Fortunately, at that critical moment,

"Ah—!" Wendy screamed as a green magical hand suddenly grabbed her.

"Wendy!"

Carla and Happy reached out to grab Wendy but missed!

"Retreat!" Brain shouted. "Eternal Dark Rondo!"

'Boom boom boom'

A barrage of magic attacks rained down, stirring up dust and smoke.

'Boom—'

Tiffany punched through the smoke and dust, catching sight of Brain and the others fleeing with Wendy.

"Stop!" Tiffany and Erza hurriedly pursued.

"Self-destructing Collapse Magic Circle."

Brain waved his hand downward, and peculiar magic symbols appeared on the ground.

'Boom'

The ground suddenly cracked open.

Erza and Tiffany leaped into the air, then plummeted off the cliff.

Brain took out a handful of stones and hurled them towards the ground behind them. Among these stones were ordinary ones, camouflaging their actions.

Afterward, they swiftly departed.
