Chapter 1108 441: Erza Captured? Prisoner Exchange? (Part 2)

Natsu was the first to object: "He came after me first, I should be the one to deal with him!"

Li Li spoke fairly: "At a time like this, let's not argue. Mr. Rhode gave us the task of capturing alive, so it's more secure to go together."

Agir was instantly furious, these people clearly didn't regard him, Wen Tailai the Thunderbolt Hand!

"Stop underestimating me! I'm the Desert King of the Twelve Holy Shields!"

Agir seethed in extreme anger.

And then, nothing further happened.

Despite releasing a terrifying amount of Magic Power to ordinary mages.

But none of these few present were ordinary mages.

Among the Twelve Holy Shields, Agir was basically the weakest one.

Facing Laxus, survival was a question, and now there's Mira, Kana, Natsu, and Gajeel.

There's no escape.

The sand waves surged, covering the sky.

But after a flash of thunder, fire, and iron clashed, Agir lay on the ground like a dead dog.

Only alive.

Li Li looked at Agir and asked: "Didn't we bring the Demon Sealing Stone Handcuffs?"

"Leave it to me."

Kana took out a blank card and stuck it on Agir, as his body gradually became ethereal, then was absorbed into the card.

Li Li said: "What a convenient magic."

"Learned it from a handsome dark-skinned guy on a mission before." Kana waved the card, "I think Rhode specifically wanted me here for this."

Mira thought about it and said nothing.

She thought Rhode probably didn't know Kana had this magic; the original control method should have been her hypnotizing or depriving of senses.

But it didn't matter, as long as they safely took people back.

"Next up is her, catching one more would be good." Mira frowned and thought, "Haven't seen Erza since earlier, did she go over already?"

"Probably." Kana surveyed the area, seeing only shipwrecks, soldiers' corpses, a few deserters, and some terrified soldiers, indeed no Erza.

"Did she make a sneaky move, agreed to handle this together first! Hapi, we're off!"

"Aisa!"

"Let's go too, time is pressing."

…

Meanwhile, Brantish was barely hanging on.

In terms of size and power, she wasn't necessarily inferior, but dragons, their Defense was indeed excessive.

Such a huge Mechanical Dragon, even after fighting for so long, not one gear fell.

Was this Vahl's kin? Seemed mechanical, but actually an Alchemy product, an alternative flesh?

Brantish glanced towards the fleet, hoping for some support from her companions.

Result was, her mindset instantly exploded.

Where was the fleet?

Such a large fleet, where is it?

Who is setting off fireworks in such a wild place?!

Brantish thought of something bad, her pupils slightly scattered.

"Brantish-sama! It's bad!"

Malin in a purple suit hedgehog hairstyle suddenly appeared on Brantish's shoulder.

Normally, he wouldn't have dared to be so bold, but this was a legitimate chance to get close, and he wouldn't miss it.

"Qualified~ Huge Brantish-sama is still as beautiful, qualified~"

Brantish ignored his nonsense, asked: "Malin, what happened over there?"

Malin answered: "Brantish-sama, it's defeat over there, 50 cruisers gone, Vahl-sama's clone self-destructed, Agir-san couldn't hold on either.

"Anyway, compared to Brantish-sama, all are unqualified~"

Brantish frowned, indeed the worst situation.

If those two lost, she alone might not win either.

Moreover, now might be surrounded at any moment.

Then, there was only one choice...

Just then, Hex-Tech Sub-Dragon's breath blew over, through Brantish's figure, landing on a far mountain, triggering a violent explosion, and a lightning storm cloaking the entire mountain.

But Brantish had already vanished from its sight.

Because her size rapidly shrank, standing in a footprint pit she'd stepped on when a giant moments ago.

Malin had also landed beside her.

About to mutter something about retreating, a fireball crashed down.

Natsu's roaring voice echoed: "Don't think about escaping!"

Brantish and Malin jumped aside, Natsu's fist heavily struck the ground.

Boom!

The footprint pit turned into a bomb crater, scorched earth all around.

Searing heat made Malin instinctively tug at his collar: "Hot, savage, unqualified! You're unqualified!"

Brantish didn't want to fight now: "No need to chatter with him, Malin, we go."

Golden lightning fell down, Malin's figure flashed, appearing beside Brantish.

Ralsas and Gajeel arrived successively.

"Hee-hee~ Not that easy to leave."

Brantish frowned: "Where's Agir?"

"That one playing with sand? He's a captive now." Gajeel directly charged, "You will be soon too!"

Brantish effortlessly caught the Iron Rod coming at her face.

Seeing the others also about to move, Malin shouted first: "Stop all of you!"

The group looked towards him, really all stopped:

"Erza!"

Originally, this little role with low Magic Power wasn't taken seriously, but now, he had—gripped Erza's neck!

Hapi covered his mouth: "Impossible…"

Natsu's flames surged up: "Stop joking?!"

Li Li looked utterly disbelief: "That Ms. Erza, how?"

Gajeel too was hard to accept: "Just you? How did you beat that woman!"

Carla stated firmly: "There must be some trick involved."

Currently, Erza had no armor, only wearing her usual white shirt and blue skirt, with several wounds on her.

The always strong Erza had no strength to even struggle now, arms naturally dangling.

Brantish seeing this understood the situation: "Her magic is Space Element?"

Malin's magic innate countered anyone using Space Magic, even ignoring personal power disparities.

Even if Erza's Magic Power was way stronger, there was no way.

"Yes~ This woman defied my space rules~ But, she barely qualifies~"

Upon facing others, Malin totally changed his demeanor, threatening,

"Listen up, if you don't want this woman dead, hand over Agir-san now!"

The group looked grim, abandoning Erza was absolutely not an option.

If they handed over Agir, it could affect Rhode and the First Generation's battle plan.

Laxus fixed his eyes on Malin, there were two choices next, either defeat Malin instantly or rescue Erza in a moment.

And since the counterpart used Space Magic, meaning only one chance to act, must succeed at once.

Laxus even considered an indiscriminate large-scale attack, directly eliminating any chance for small-scale teleport dodging.

As for Natsu and Gajeel...

Rough skin thick flesh, presumed not so easily electrocuted, treat them afterward.

——The only concern was, unsure of Erza's injury condition, can she endure this attack.

Whether sensed anything, Malin directly stored Erza inside Alternate Space:

"Best not to have funny ideas, inside my space, I can let her die anytime."

This made it harder, even rushing up suddenly to seize Erza wasn't doable.

"Don't think dragging time, last chance three seconds! Three, two…"

At emergency moment, a cool voice echoed behind Laxus:

"Command, hand over Erza."

Malin's expression turned instantly dull, raised a hand pointing forward.

Before the group responded, Erza's figure suddenly appeared before Laxus.

Laxus timely embraced her.

Brantish exclaimed in shock: "Malin, what are you doing?!"

Fairy Tail's group also unaware of what happened, collectively looked behind Laxus.

Seeing Kana smilingly wave at everyone, beside her a beautiful woman with double horns, full black hair, blue large-sleeved kimono, and footed socks.

Despite the change in traits and attire, everyone still recognized her familiar features and forehead tied up small braid:

"Mira?"

"Seems like it's Gate of the Underworld's…"

Mira cutely smiled: "Hello everyone, I am—Mirajane Sera."
