A Huge Hole in the Sky

Calvin opened his eyes a little tiredly. He found himself in a quiet wooden house. He had some impression of this place, but for a moment, he could remember where it was.

"Are you awake? Then get out of here." At this time, a cold voice came into his ears. He was very familiar with the voice, and he also remembered where this was. He could not help but smile bitterly.

He got off the bed immediately. Although his body was still fatigued and his magical power hadn't fully recovered, Carlvin knew the nature of the other person and had no intention of causing a further disturbance. Besides not wanting to inconvenience others, the other person's malicious anti-human rhetoric was also a reason.

"I'll leave right away. Thank you for taking care of me, Miss Porlyusica." Calvin took the torn jacket that was placed beside the bed and put it on. Before he left, he did not forget to express his gratitude to her.

Feeling the peculiar gaze from Porlyusica, Carlvin couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. He wondered why Porlyusica was staring at him so intently and with such an unfathomable expression. It made him question whether there was something more to their encounter than he initially thought.

"Uh... Did I do anything?" In the cold eyes of the other party, Calvin could not help but ask in a low voice.

"It's nothing. Take care of yourself. But I advise you not to use that kind of magic again if you want a future." Porlyusica turned away expressionlessly and continued with her tasks, mumbling enigmatic words under her breath.

"Ha... Did she find out?" When Calvin heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that under the other party's medical skills, his body had no secrets at all.

"Can you tell me how long I can live? I feel that I can live for quite a long time." Calvin asked.

"An ordinary sorcerer, if they didn't die by accident, would be able to live for a hundred years. But with your current state, I'm afraid you can live to fifty years old at most. If you use it again, you will die at the age of thirty." Porlyusica didn't turn around and directly said. There was a sense of regret in her tone.

"Fifty years old, isn't it still a long time?" Calvin heard the answer, and a trace of sadness quickly flashed through his eyes, but he quickly said cheerfully.

Porlyusica turned around and looked at Calvin. He sighed softly, shook his head, and then ignored him. Seeing this, Calvin also tactfully left immediately. At some point, it started to rain in the sky. Calvin, who was already depressed, was even more agitated now.

"It can't be that even you are laughing at me. It was you who sent me to this world, God." Calvin looked up at the sky and let the rain get wet. He murmured indifferently.

"Eh? Wait, this feeling is not right!" Suddenly, Calvin's expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression was very bad.

"Isn't this... 'Anima'?! What is Mystogan up to?!" Calvin immediately started drawing a magic array in the sky. However, the sky suddenly opened up, revealing a massive vortex that seemed to possess boundless magical power. Everything became distorted, and the entire town was swallowed up. Calvin's magic array had no effect at all.

"Damn it! At least let me..." Calvin gritted his teeth and quickly drew a mysterious magic array with his hands. His body emitted a special light, and this thin layer of light blocked the gravity of the giant hole in the sky.

The gravity suddenly intensified. Suddenly, the giant hole emitted a dazzling light. When Calvin opened his eyes again, the surroundings had become blank and empty.

"He sucked everything in. Is this true power of the 'Anima'?" He frowned and looked around. Even Calvin was at a loss. Although he knew a little about the world on the other side, he did not know how to go. Hy wanted to go to the other world to rescue his companions, but he was willing but unable to do so.

Suddenly, his previously stern expression softened a bit. He immediately summoned his Silver Fang and mounted it, rushing in a specific direction. In that direction, he could sense the magical power of Gajeel.

Soon, two small black dots appeared in the distant sky. As he approached, the small black dots became bigger and gradually, he could see the two figures.

One of them was Gajeel, and the other was Mystogan, whom Calvin wanted to see the most.

"Calvin, you are really fine." When Mystogan saw Calvin, he was not surprised at all, as if he was saying something of course.

"You owe me an explanation. Why did the whole town disappear as soon as I woke up?" Calvin cursed angrily, and Mystogan silently endured it.

"Sorry, I failed. So Gajeel and I are about to head to Edolas. Do you want to join us?" Mystogan admitted his failure and then sincerely invited Calvin to join them.

"Isn't this nonsense? You better have a way to get us to that world!" Calvin smacked his lips a little irritably. He kept urging Mystogan with his eyes. Mystogan only smiled at this and immediately prepared to teleport.

"Hey, hey, hey!! Can someone please explain to me what's going on here?" Finally unable to contain himself, Gajeel spoke up. He had been completely out of the loop since the beginning, and even after meeting Mystogan, he hadn't had a chance to hear an explanation. Calvin had come and stirred things up before he could figure out what was happening. Although he sensed that something significant had occurred, he remained completely clueless about the details.

"Oh... you still don't know." Calvin was a little helpless. When he wanted to explain, he found that there was a familiar magic in his perception.

"Oh? Lucy managed to escape as well? Wait a moment, let me go fetch her, and we can explain everything together," Calvin said, deep in thought. He quickly mounted the Silver Fang and raced toward Lucy's location.

"What the hell, this guy. Come to think of it, Mystogan, are you still not recovered?" Gajeel helplessly looked at the distant Calvin. He sighed and turned to ask Mystogan.

"Soon, the magic array that was sent to Edolas will be completed soon." Mystogan was focused on the work on his hands. An extremely complicated magic array was faintly glowing on the ground.

On the other side, Calvin, who was looking for Lucy, quickly found his target. At this moment, Lucy was sitting alone on the desolate ground. She looked around blankly, completely at a loss.

"Lucy, over here." Suddenly, Lucy heard a reassuring voice. He turned around and saw a familiar figure sitting on the huge Silver Fang waving to him. Lucy, who found the backbone, rushed to the other side without thinking and hugged Calvin firmly.

"What happened? Why is everything gone? The guild, the town, our friends... Where are they?" Lucy was extremely agitated, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Calvin, looking concerned, tried to calm her down. "Lucy, there was an unforeseen event. Everything got sucked into another dimension. Our guild, the town, and our friends are all trapped there. But we won't leave them behind. We're on our way to Edolas to find a solution and bring everyone back. Please stay strong, Lucy. We'll do everything we can to reunite with our friends." Calvin didn't want to say much. He pulled Lucy along with Silver Fang and flew towards Mystogan.

As they continued their journey, Calvin whispered to Lucy, "Lucy, prepare yourself for battle." Lucy determined to help and reunite with their friends, nodded with a determined expression.
