One Trigger

It was not easy to stop the space magic, 'Anima'. Mystogan and Calvin spent nearly six days from the preparation to the rear end. Fortunately, this time, the 'Anima' was successfully stopped. However, there did not seem to be much joy on Mystogan's face.

On the other side, Calvin, who had been constantly contributing a large amount of magic power for a week, was tired like a dog. His abnormally pale face, sweat dripping non-stop, and trembling hands showed that he could not hold on at any time.

"Mystogan, don't call me anymore in the future. Do you know that I almost died just now?" Calvin did not even have the strength to swear. After cursing the last sentence, he could not hold on anymore. His eyes rolled and he fell.

On the other hand, although Mystogan also looked tired, he also understood that compared to Calvin, his tiredness was nothing. However, because he had been maintaining the magic array for five or six days without sleep or rest, his spirit was also a little unable to hold on, especially when Calvin directly fell asleep in front of him.

"Forget it, just sleep here. Anyway, there is no danger in this area." Seeing that Calvin was sleeping soundly, Mystogan also felt sleepy. Although he was a sorcerer who was good at using hypnosis magic, he could not resist real sleepiness.

However, he, who had always been cautious, still set up a vigilant magic array outside the two of them. Moreover, it had a slight defensive effect. This could both alert and prevent ordinary beasts from disturbing.

At night, in the starry sky, the two extraordinary sorcerers slept as quietly as a star.

When he woke up, it was already late in the morning.

Calvin's recovery ability was not bad. After one night, the magic power that he had used up had already been replenished, and he was in high spirits. He was completely unlike a person who had worked for six days.

Turning around, he saw that a few meters away from him, Mystogan was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. In terms of mental fatigue, Mystogan, who had always been in charge of the magic array, had been holding on.

"Well... I had a good sleep!" Calvin stretched his body and habitually put his senses to the maximum. He checked if there was any suspicious magic in the vicinity. This was a very good habit of Calvin. Although his perception was usually running, he was always used to opening his perception every once in a while. This habit had saved him more than once.

When his perception was fully opened, Calvin found it suspicious. His expression instantly became indifferent because he sensed a familiar magic power one kilometer away.

Erza's magic power.

The memories from a week ago flashed past in an instant.

A demon appeared in a forest south of Lyle. Where do you want to suppress it? The place that Makarov had mentioned to Erza was precisely here. Although Mystogan had led the way at that time, he was not completely ignorant of Fiore's geography. This was the forest south of the town of Lyle.

"Is there a conspiracy behind the name mission..." Calvin's expression became calm, but it did not mean that his heart was calm. The anger was about to invade his rationality. The current Calvin was not as calm as he was three years later.

"What's wrong, Calvin?" Even Mystogan was awakened by Calvin's turbulent magic power. Seeing Calvin's serious look, he knew that something big might happen.

"Erza might be in danger!" Calvin did not say it in detail because even he knew the details too well. However, other than Erza's magic power, he also felt an unusually thick magic power next to him. If his guess was correct, it was probably the client of the mission, the former Ten Wizard Saints mentioned by Levy.

"Mystogan, it's your turn to help me this time."

Mystogan nodded and then said, "Help you? Our companions are in danger. This is a matter of advancing and returning together!" Mystogan's tone was filled with dissatisfaction. It was clear that Calvin's words had hurt his heart, even if he came to this world with a hidden purpose.

However, he had always been proud of being a member of Fairy Tail.

"Since that's the case, come with me." Calvin's tone was a little anxious. If he only felt Erza's magic, he would not be so worried. But the problem was that Erza's magic was too strange as if it had been forcefully added into something.

The two of them were very fast. Soon, they arrived in front of a large house, which was also the place that Calvin sensed.

At the same time, this was also where Phil Marx lived.

Just as Calvin and Mystogan were wondering whether they should barge in or not, the door of the room opened and an old sorcerer with a gentle expression walked out.

"What a rare visitor. It has been a long time since someone has visited this place." Before the two of them could speak, the old man spoke first. His voice was very loud and buzzing.

"Great Flame Lion, Phil Marx?" Calvin did not intend to beat around the bush and asked directly.

"Haha! I did not expect that someone still remembered my name. Moreover, it is such a young person. It is a happy day. I wonder why you are looking for me?" Phil laughed loudly, looking like a hospitable person.

"We are Fairy Tail's sorcerers. You should understand now. I will only say it once. Hand Erza over." Calvin pulled off his collar, revealing the seal under his collarbone. At the same time, he carefully observed Phil's expression.

However, Phil's expression remained the same, not changing at all.

However, in the next second, a pillar of fire rose from where the two of them stood!

However, since Calvin and Mystogan were here to save people, how could they not be on guard? After the pillar of fire, both of them were unscathed and each had a defensive magic array on their bodies.

"What a sharp sorcerer. I used the Thought Projection to pretend to be Erza and leave!" Phil narrowed his eyes. The two people in front of him were not weak. Over the years, ever since he completed his research, he had been looking for outstanding young sorcerers. If he was not wrong, one of these two people should be Fairy Tail's Calvin Makarov.

"As expected, it was you who imprisoned Erza! The person who dared to provoke us, Fairy Tail, is quite bold!" Calvin stretched out his arm and revealed the card in his hand, instantly attracting Phil's attention. Since he had collected information about Calvin, he naturally knew that the other party was a High Mage of Summoning.

However, he underestimated Mystogan. It had to be known that although Mystogan was not S-Level yet, he had only joined for a short time and had not had the time to take the exam. In terms of strength, he was not weaker than Calvin.

Just as Phil was about to stop Calvin's Summoning, a magic array appeared on both sides of him.

"Two Layered Magic Circle - Solar Halo!"

The two magic arrays flashed at the same time. The speed was too fast, and Phil was hit before he could even react.

However, Solar Halo was not offensive magic, but hypnotic magic. In the face of people with high magic power, it was often difficult to play much of a role.

"What a powerful magic. It made me so sleepy. But that's it. After I warn you, don't think it will work again!" The flash of light dissipated and Phil was unaffected.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just trying to buy time." Mystogan smiled. Although his magic was not very effective, it was enough to divert Phil's attention away from Calvin. It was enough to make him cast Summoning.

In front of Calvin, a swordsman wearing purple blue armor and holding a broadsword appeared at some point.
