The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 118 Calling for Reinforcements

Ignoring the murderous glares in their eyes, Wes continued, "Your physical strength is extraordinary; is it the effect of dragon-slaying magic?"

Natsu proudly pointed to his chest with his thumb: "I'm Igniel's son, this little injury won't hurt me!"

Someone like Natsu, who was personally granted Dragon Slayer Magic by a dragon, grew up with the dragon and had his body modified by the Dragon Slayer Magic. Perhaps if he trained to the extreme, he might actually become a real dragon.

"We've already seen Dragon Slayer Magic and Celestial Spirit Magic, so there's no point in continuing."

After saying that, Weiss turned and left.

"Hey, you bastard, what exactly do you want to do?!"

Surprisingly, it was Yuka who spoke first.

"Why not just kill these guys?"

Weiss stopped and turned to look at Yuka, his gaze as indifferent as if he were looking at an ant on the roadside.

That one glance made Yuka's heart clench, and he immediately shut his mouth, not daring to meet Wes's eyes again.

Wes turned his head and left.

Until his figure completely disappeared into the jungle.

"That dangerous guy is finally gone." Lucy breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"I think he's scared," Harpy said confidently, flapping his wings and flying into the air, seemingly imitating the guy's escape.

Lucy and Happy, those two little devils, got lively again. Happy spun around in the air and then swooped down to land on Lucy's shoulder.

Just then, Natsu's body suddenly swayed and he fell headfirst to the ground.

"Natsu!!" Lucy exclaimed, rushing to Natsu's side with Happy. Lucy called out anxiously, "Natsu, wake up!"

Gray quickly crouched down, carefully examined Natsu's body, and reassured him, "Don't worry, he just passed out."

Lucy gently patted Natsu's cheek, then breathed a sigh of relief: "It's alright..."

"This mission was too dangerous. We almost got wiped out before we even met the enemy leader. Let's go back and get reinforcements," the timid Lucy suggested.

"This enemy is indeed troublesome."

Gray clutched his aching ribs, where a dark bruise had been left by Yuka as a "souvenir." "But I'm not willing to give up like this."

[And is the Leon this guy is talking about actually the one I know?]

Gray thought for a moment and proposed a plan: "Let's go back to the village first. Natsu and I need our injuries treated. With Yuuka as a hostage, we can threaten those guys to turn the villagers back to their original state."

Happy and Lucy couldn't think of any other way, so they had no choice but to agree with Gray's approach.

Wes returned to the ruins, and as soon as he stepped through the gate, he was met with Leon's stern question: "Why didn't you rescue Yuka?"

Weiss shrugged and replied casually, "That's not part of our deal."

"You bastard!!"

Leon took a step forward, and magic surged around him.

"You want to take action?"

Wes unleashed his magic without backing down, clashing with Leon's magic in a tense atmosphere.

Ultear quickly stepped between the two: "Lord Leon, the seal is about to be broken, please don't cause any trouble at this time! It's not too late to rescue Yuka after you've dealt with Deliora."

Leon glared at Wes, his eyes burning with anger, but he ultimately restrained himself and turned to leave.

"Why stop him? Are you worried he's no match for me?"

"Damn it! If you shut up and it delays our plans, you'll be sorry!"

Veins bulged on Ultear's forehead; she was extremely dissatisfied with Wes's attitude.

"Don't worry, I'm also very interested in Deliora. I won't hold you back. Just don't be disappointed when the time comes." Wes maintained his mysterious expression, as if he had mastered some important secret.

"What do you know?" Ultear's voice became urgent. She tried her best to control her emotions and not let the other person see her impatience.

"If you want to know, trade me the 'Arc of Time'. I can help you, but the price... you decide."

Ultear roared angrily, "You can dream about the 'Arc of Time'!"

"That means there's no point in negotiating. Good luck."

Wes left with a half-hearted blessing, leaving Ultear standing alone.

"I'll get my hands on you one day, you bastard!!"

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Urutia was so angry that she cursed, her eyes blazing with fury, her fists clenched, as if she was about to pounce and fight to the death at any moment.

After leaving, Wes found a quiet corner, sat cross-legged, and closed his eyes to rest.

I've already witnessed dragon-slaying magic. It's time to meet the legendary Fairy Queen.

[This impatient queen should have already arrived on the island.]

On the other side, Erza, who was disciplining the three people and the cat, suddenly turned around, as if she had sensed something.

Natsu and Gray were covered in bumps and collapsed on the ground.

Happy and Lucy huddled together, shivering.

Erza glanced around but found nothing amiss. She turned back and said seriously, "Natsu, Gray."

The two people whose names were called immediately got up from the ground and sat cross-legged tremblingly.

"Although you guys usually don't follow the rules, you actually dared to accept an S-rank mission without authorization this time!"

"Erza, listen to me..." Natsu stammered nervously, sweat beading on his forehead. He knew what awaited him next.

Erza delivered a merciless punch to Natsu's right cheek, sending him flying: "Even if the guild master forgives you, I won't let you get away with this! Prepare yourself!!"

Lucy and Happy could only nod repeatedly, not daring to refute, for fear of being implicated as well.

"Erza, this isn't as simple as it seems. Since you're here, why don't you get to the bottom of this?" Gray said, unwilling to give up.

"That's right!" Natsu, who had been sent flying, somersaulted to his feet, his face filled with fighting spirit. "I'm going to defeat that guy!"

"Did you even listen to what I said?" Erza's face was ashen, and her tone became even more stern.

Natsu and Gray looked stubborn; neither of them wanted to give up this opportunity.

The villagers gathered outside the house watched them with anticipation, hoping that these mages from Fairy Tail were as powerful as rumored and could solve their problems.

Erza sighed and finally made her decision: "Since I've accepted the mission, I must complete it. I can't bring shame to the guild. And those who harmed my comrades must not be let off!"

"Great!!" Upon hearing this, Natsu jumped three feet high and instantly regained his full health.
