Assaulted Magic Prison

The cab driver was internally devastated.

Not only because he had just boasted that the magic prison had never had a history of escapes.

More importantly, how could someone break through this thing?

What kind of powerful mage would that take? He was just a regular person.

He certainly didn't want to die.

The carriage came to a halt, and as the driver hesitated while looking into the distance, he turned to say, 

"Sir, something is happening over there... Hmm? Where are the people?! Forget it, we need to head back and notify the army!"

——

Deep within the mountains.

At the cliffside.

This was the location of the magic prison, Black Vox.

At that moment, the black, three-dimensional structure resembling a black cube floated ominously in mid-air over the cliff, with thick smoke billowing from its center.

Blocks the size of small rooms floated away from the enormous black cube.

As the black cubes were opened, inside were prisoners each marked with numbers. However, they had all been freed from their restraints and jumped out to stand on the ground.

They glared menacingly at the guards of the prison.

At this time, the chief guard of the prison, Guroku Forto, wore a solemn expression as he faced the dark mage guild Five Bridge Family and said in a low voice,

"I've released Doran and half of the prisoners as you requested. Quick, release Waki Andebar the warden."

Guroku Forto's gaze fell on Waki Andebar, the warden held captive by the Five Bridge Family's members. A seemingly unremarkable old man, but his gaze was filled with disappointment:

"Forto...."

Guroku Forto clenched his fists, ignoring the plea.

The prisoners could be caught again, but if something happened to Waki Andebar...

He could never forgive himself; after all, Waki Andebar was not just the warden of this prison but a person who had cared for him like a father.

Hearing Guroku Forto's words, the members of the Five Bridge Family, who were holding Waki Andebar, refused to let go.

At the forefront was Doran's son.

He stepped forward and looked at the released Doran within a black cube:

"Father. We need to leave."

The nearly three-meter tall giant, wrapped in bandages, barely managed to respond with a cruel smile,

"No. We're not leaving."

Everyone was taken aback.

Doran turned his gaze toward the massive prison, the place that had confined him for months, his expression a mix of madness and excitement:

"This is a super first-class magic prison, Black Vox! It's nearly impossible to breach this fortress from the outside. More importantly, this prison's levitation ability allows it to float freely anywhere. What could be better suited as a guild base than here?!"

A bit intoxicated, Doran picked up a fallen spear from the ground and stepped in front of the detained Waki Andebar:

"It's time to send you on your way, old man."

Guroku Forto erupted in fury:

"Doran! Do you dare touch Mr. Waki?!!!"

He pointed his magic spear at Doran, and the surrounding guards grew tense.

Meanwhile, the members of the Five Bridge Family, along with some released prisoners, narrowed their eyes and edged closer to the remaining guards.

Doran glanced at Guroku Forto:

"Heh... Don't misunderstand me; are you questioning me? I am the leader of the dark guild, the Five Bridge Family."

Doran shifted his gaze back down at the now-captive old man, Waki Andebar, wearing a wicked grin as he raised his spear:

"Waki Andebar. Thank you for your care these past few months. I'll hang your corpse at the entrance of the guild base. So that the Magic Council can see the fate of provoking the Five Bridge Family! Hahahahaha!!! Die!!!"

Doran laughed maniacally as he thrust his spear downward.

Guroku Forto's magical aura erupted, his eyes almost bursting with rage:

"Stop!!!"

However, Guroku Forto's anger proved useless as Doran thrust down without hesitation.

Suddenly, an unknown, violent magical force surged, filling the air with authority.

The atmosphere seemed to still.

A somewhat pained voice of Gildarts echoed:

"Ah, that Gaal kid really has his composure."

As soon as the voice fell, a raging magical force erupted from the prison behind.

The ground trembled, and the less powerful prisoners fell to the ground, losing all consciousness.

An invisible light wrapped around the magic, moving at an unfathomable speed, striking Doran directly.

Boom——!!!!!!

The spear in Doran's hand and his armor were utterly shattered by the force.

A massive fist-shaped imprint smashed into Doran's body, rippling through him with shockwaves.

The tremendous force nearly obliterated Doran's internal organs, shattered his eyeballs, and sent him flying backward.

Before Doran could react, as he hurtled toward the wasteland, several rocky spikes suddenly shot up from the ground.

With no defense from the powerful impact, Doran slammed into multiple rock spikes.

Pschh! Pschh!

Flesh pierced, the sounds of squelching were heard.

Doran's body, after crashing into the spikes, was torn into several pieces and scattered across the ground.

This sudden scene startled everyone.

Members of the Five Bridge Family had not yet reacted when their leader became a corpse in fragments.

Gaal and Gray's silhouettes emerged from invisibility.

Gray felt a chill looking at the scattered remains on the ground, unsure of how to proceed.

Meanwhile, Gaal looked towards Gildarts and smiled, replying,

"After all, you were so close. You must have acted faster than I did."

Gildarts shook his head, laughing softly:

"That kid of yours...."

He then sighed, glancing at the surrounding prisoners:

"So. Please line up orderly and head back, alright? Don't make me take action."

Upon hearing Gildarts's words, everyone snapped back to reality. The first to react were the members of the Five Bridge Family, as they had come specifically to save Doran.

Now that Doran was dead...

Doran's son reacted first, turning towards Gildarts with eyes full of hatred:

"You bastard!!!"

He raised his hand towards Gildarts, gathering magic in his palm.

Beside him, Waki Andebar's pupils constricted sharply.

Realizing this was the same magic used to hijack him, which had obliterated the train he was riding with a nearly hundred-meter-wide blast, he suddenly shouted towards Gildarts,

"Run! It's Explosion Magic...."

Before he could finish.

The nearly tangible magical force swept down like a tidal wave.

Doran's son's magic was abruptly disrupted.

Thud——

The pressure of magic forced him to his knees, disbelief flooding his eyes:

"Impossible...."

Doran's son struggled to raise his head:

"Are you kidding me?!!!"

As he attempted to gather magic, he found himself unable to concentrate under the overwhelming magical wave, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Waki Andebar and Guroku Forto fell speechless as they watched the scene unfold.

When did their prison detain such a fierce opponent?

This couldn't be a joke, could it?

Could someone like this actually be captured and held?

Was the kingdom's army truly this strong???

Suddenly, one of the prisoners cried out, scanning Gaal and Gildarts in panic, drenched in cold sweat:

"That emblem.... It can't be wrong! These two guys.... They're mages from Fairy Tail!"
