"Rock Coffin Prison!"
Jura clasped his hands together, and the hemispherical rock wall in the middle of the hall transformed into a rectangular shape, with stone walls on both sides continuously contracting towards the center.
Just a few seconds later, Jura furrowed his brow. He knew the internal space well enough, it had shrunk sufficiently small but there was still no resistance, something wasn't right.
Until the two stone walls finally collided, making a heavy crash, pink mist started to seep out from the crevices, yet Jura still didn't feel as though he had struck any tangible entity.
The group covered their mouths and noses, retreating further back.
They watched as the rock wall crumbled, revealing an empty space inside.
Immediately, a rumbling noise came from outside the villa, which others might not decipher, but those from Blue Pegasus were very familiar with the sound.
"Christina!"
This was the sound of Blue Pegasus's Magical Bomb Strike Boat, Christina, in flight.
The problem was, of the four mages from Blue Pegasus, three were lying helplessly here, and one had likely already been defeated by the enemy, so who was operating the strike boat?
The group rushed to the window and saw the airship's ominous black cannon aimed at the villa, terrifying magic power gathering.
"Hey, hey, hey... This thing again?" Gray found the object familiar, wasn't it similar to Ghost's main cannon?
Leon reminded Gray, "Don't just stand there, think of a way to defend first!"
Running was impossible; how could humans outrun an airship and cannon? Fleeing would certainly lead to casualties, but standing firm might still provide a chance to defend.
"Requip: Vajra Armor!" As the cannon was now fully charged, Erza prepared for the worst scenario.
"What??? Withstand such an attack head-on?" Lucy was almost in tears, "That kind of weapon isn't meant for dealing with humans, is it?!"
"At this point, there's no other choice." Jura clasped his hands again, releasing an astounding burst of magic power, "Rock Mountain!"
The ground began to quake, as a Stone Giant rose up, clasping its hands to protect the entire villa.
Natsu stumbled due to the ground's shaking, exclaiming in surprise, "What kind of magic is that?!"
Gray couldn't help saying, "Could it be this old man... is unbelievably strong?"
Leon proudly replied, "Of course, this is Mr. Jura!"
Gray looked at Leon, suddenly smiling.
This guy not only switched to using shaping magic with both hands, but after joining Lamia Scale, he seemed to have found something precious.
"What kind of expression is that? Instead of spacing out, why not lend a hand?" Leon casually tore off his jacket, adopting a shaping magic pose, looking at Gray, "Static Object Form, you're quite proficient at that, right?"
"Definitely!" Gray, having come in wearing only his briefs, skipped the step of undressing, striking the same pose as Leon.
The brothers joined forces, ice magic power surging forth: "Ice-Make: Wall!"
A thick and towering wall rose up, even taller than Jura's Stone Giant.
Unfortunately, its strength was far inferior.
The magical strike boat fired, and the ice wall immediately shattered.
The wall collapsed and crumbled, ice blocks flying in all directions, the part of the ice that was hit directly vaporized, then condensed into a mist, as if cloaking the Stone Giant in a veil.
Next, the Stone Giant was hit, emitting a rumbling dull noise, countless large and small stones flew out, the giant's chest was pierced by the cannon, lines of cracks appearing on its body.
——The magic-guided cluster cannon was originally a weapon intended for siege.
The villa's walls were blasted open, smoke and dust filled everyone's vision.
However, after two rounds of obstruction, the power of the cannon attack had diminished significantly, and when it hit Erza's defense magic array reinforced by the Vajra Armor, it naturally lost its initial force.
Erza struggled to hold up the shield, steadily taking on the remnants of the cannon blast.
But before everyone could celebrate, another explosion echoed from the sky.
The group braced themselves, ready to defend against the next wave of attack, Natsu called to Hapi, planning to fly up and fight.
But this time, the roof of the villa came crashing down, along with various building materials, as well as a horse's head.
——Christina's propulsion system had been destroyed, causing it to fall straight from the sky!
Not only that, just as everyone recognized this magical strike boat, it erupted in fierce flames!
The airship, exploded!
Not far away, 5 people slowly 'walked' towards the destroyed villa, a white-haired woman walked up to them.
Angel complained, "Honestly, pulling off such an attack, what if I'm affected?"
A red-haired young man, entwined with a purple giant snake, said, "No way, because I can hear your voice. But you didn't seem to manage to take down Jura."
Angel shrugged, "Not surprisingly, he's indeed one of the Ten Wizard Saints, too vigilant, and they somehow got a hold of my information. As a result, only the 4 members of Blue Pegasus have been knocked out."
The leader was about to say something but suddenly pressed two fingers to his forehead, someone was contacting him through telepathy magic.
"Found it? Well done! Guard it fiercely, don't let anyone approach!"
Laser inquired, "Have you found that? Nice speed!"
"Yes, just in time now that the bright ones are dealt with, the extra entertainment is over, let's go." The leader glanced somewhat regretfully at the magical strike boat still aflame with explosions.
If only they knew it would be found so quickly, they would have stayed a bit longer, saving some time getting there, what a shame.
