Chapter 716: Rescuing Lisanna
Chapter 716: Rescuing Lisanna
"Ai... Captain Erza..."
In the rear, the Kingdom's soldiers witnessed the unfolding scene with disbelief. Their kingdom's Second Magic Team Captain, Erza, had defeated countless formidable foes and even crushed numerous guilds single-handedly.
Yet now, in front of this man, she was brutally defeated, her weapon shattered, her face marked with humiliating words, and her hair severed.
"...'
Erza, seeing her severed hair and feeling the weight of the soldiers' gazes, grit her teeth. "You can kill me after defeating me, but please don't humiliate me like this."
Feng Ye regarded her calmly and smiled gently. "Tell me why you're pursuing Fairy Tail."
Erza clenched her teeth. "It's the King's command, and they've also broken the world's rules. Their abuse of magic will accelerate the disappearance of magic in this world."
Feng Ye remained peaceful. "So what if magic disappears?"
Erza fixed her gaze on Feng Ye. "You're... from the other world, aren't you? No wonder you can use magic without tools. But how can you understand our fear of losing magic?"
Feng Ye extended his finger, gently tilting Erza's chin up as he looked down at her. "Aren't you fearless even in the face of death? How can the loss of magic compare to the loss of life?"
Erza's chest heaved as she struggled, unable to move. Unknowingly, she averted her gaze to the ground. "It's... incomparable..."
Feng Ye released his hand.
He glanced at the distant Kingdom soldiers, their weapons drawn, rushing towards them with gritted teeth. He gently blew a breath of air.
Whoosh! ! ! !
The magic array rippled, and a gale burst forth from his mouth, transforming into a violent hurricane that swept forward.
The hundreds of Kingdom soldiers were engulfed by the gale, their terrified shouts filling the air as they desperately tried to grasp anything to steady themselves. Yet, not one of them could resist, and they were swept away in waves.
Lucy, Mira, and the others watched this scene, utterly shaken.
"Huh."
After blowing away the entire Kingdom army with a single breath, Feng Ye ceased exhaling, and the magic array subsided.
He turned to Erza and said, "I understand your fear of losing magic, but magic isn't everything. In ancient times, humans didn't use magic, yet they survived in such an environment."
The fear of losing magic in this world was akin to the fear of losing electricity in the modern world—it would indeed cause inner turmoil. However, even without electricity, there were still countless joys to be found.
Many primitive sports and pleasures were entirely independent of magic and electricity, and the happiness they brought was no less than that provided by magic and electricity.
"...'
Erza's gaze wavered, unsure how to respond.
Feng Ye glanced at her casually and said, "Anyway, you must now be a captive because of what you've done."
After saying this, Feng Ye casually pointed, and Erza fell from the sky. A pale golden rope quickly wrapped around her hands, binding them behind her back, rendering her unable to break free.
Then,
Feng Ye looked at the members of Fairy Tail and said casually, "Now that she's a captive, those of you who want to get some payback can come over. However, only females are allowed; the males can leave."
Mira, the first to regain her wits, lowered her head and walked towards Erza. She clenched her fists, then glared at Erza and threw a punch at her, sending her flying backwards.
However.
After throwing that punch, she didn't continue the assault. Instead, her eyes glistened with tears as she bit her lip and looked at Erza, who had fallen to the ground.
"You killed Lisanna... But Lisanna is already dead. No matter how much I beat you up, what's the point?"
Bang!
Lucy also walked over with her head lowered and threw a punch at Erza. Biting her lip, she said, "This is for all our companions whom you've harmed."
She grabbed Erza's shoulder and glared at her, asking, "Do you... know how many of our companions you've killed?!”
“……”
Erza remained silent.
She had wanted to say that the weak have no right to survive, but now she was a loser herself, a weakling in front of Feng Ye.
To utter such words would be to deny her own existence, so she couldn't respond to Lucy's question and could only stay silent.
Hu...
Lucy took a deep breath and looked at Feng Ye, her eyes reflecting a hint of admiration, and a plea. "Fellow companion from another world, Fairy Tail, can you help us again and stop the Kingdom's army from pursuing us?"
Feng Ye's overwhelming defeat of Erza and his effortless sweep of her entire army with a single breath far exceeded her imagination.
"I would do that even without you asking."
Feng Ye smiled and said, "After all, they've created a rather outrageous magic. They want to steal magic power from our world, and they've even absorbed Lisanna. But before that, there's something I need to do."
Lucy looked at Feng Ye, slightly taken aback, and cautiously asked, "What is it?"
Feng Ye glanced at Lisanna, who had walked up beside him and was curiously observing the short-haired Erza, and then at Mira, whose eyes were glistening with tears. "If it were me, I should be able to help you rescue your Lisanna."
"......Eh?"
Lucy paused, and Mira beside her froze as well.
Mira looked at Feng Ye, and in her sunken and sorrowful eyes, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared. She couldn't help but rush forward, grabbing Feng Ye's sleeves with both hands and looking up at him. "Really? You... you can really save Lisanna?"
"Yes."
Feng Ye nodded gently at her. "But first, you need to tell me where Lisanna fell off the cliff."
Mira took a deep breath and wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes. She quickly recalled the location and said, "I know where it is. I'll take you there now."
"Okay."
Feng Ye nodded and then turned to look at Erza, pulling her up from the ground. "You come along too."
