Natsu and the others weren't aware, but Takeshi knew clearly. The magic technology in this world was decent, but the inhabitants themselves were ordinary people without magic power.
The limits of ordinary people were fixed. No matter how powerful the Magic Tools they used, their combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced.
As for the numbers, while they posed a slight problem, it wasn't a major issue.
"You... you are too arrogant!"
Lucy had never met someone as arrogant as Takeshi. That was the invincible Kingdom Army, every single soldier of which was superbly equipped.
Takeshi waved his hand. "Yes, I know. So, all you need to do is tell me the location of the Royal Capital."
"Fine. Since you want to die, I won't stop you. Just follow this direction all the way to the Royal Capital, it takes about five days on foot."
"It only takes five days on foot? That's quite close. Thank you." Takeshi thanked Lucy.
Natsu excitedly said, "Great! Now that we know the destination, it'll be easy. All we have to do is reach the Royal Capital and we can rescue everyone."
Wendy was also very happy. "That's right."
"Hey! Did you guys even understand what I said?! That's the Edolas Royal Capital, defended by a hundred thousand soldiers armed to the teeth! How can just a few of you possibly be a match for the Kingdom Army?" Lucy was extremely confused.
Had she failed to explain the situation clearly? Why were these guys so optimistic?
Natsu said with a serious expression, "We know, but we will rescue our comrades no matter what."
"Let's hurry and leave. If we're too late, everyone might truly turn into magic power." Carla urged them.
"Alright."
Natsu and the others were eager to go and rescue everyone.
Takeshi said, "Wait a moment."
"What is it? Is there something else?"
Takeshi looked towards Lisanna and said, "Lisanna, your sister Mira and your brother Elfman miss you very much. Do you want to come back with us?"
Takeshi's words caused everyone from the Guild to change expression, and they all shielded Lisanna.
"What are you talking about?!"
"Lisanna is our Lisanna!"
"If you want to find the Lisanna from your world, go look somewhere else!"
"Right! Don't even think about stealing our Lisanna!"
Lucy shooed Takeshi and the others away, saying, "Leave quickly, you are not welcome here!"
"Takeshi, this is the Lisanna of this world, not the Lisanna we know."
Natsu and the others were also confused, believing Takeshi didn't know Lisanna at all, or had mistaken her identity. After all, Lisanna had already met with an accident by the time Takeshi joined Fairy Tail.
Happy also thought Takeshi was unaware and said, "That's right. The Lisanna of our world died in that accident."
"No, she is the Lisanna of our world." Takeshi stated firmly.
"You! Leave immediately!"
"Get out! Or don't blame us for being impolite!"
Everyone quickly pulled out their weapons, preparing to violently drive Takeshi and the others away.
"Hmph!"
Takeshi let out a cold snort.
Boom!!!
A vast magic power suddenly burst forth from his body, causing the entire Guild to tremble violently. The floor beneath his feet cracked, Takeshi's clothes billowed, and his hair stood on end.
"Woooaaahhhh!"
Feeling Takeshi's magic power, Natsu couldn't help but look utterly shocked.
Although Takeshi usually displayed great strength, he had almost never shown off his powerful magic power. This led many people in the Guild to be unaware of how high Takeshi's magic power was.
Some even thought his magic power level was only slightly above average, and that his strength simply came from having powerful transformations.
But this time, Natsu truly felt it. Even without using Take Over Magic, Takeshi's magic power was top-tier. The only people in Fairy Tail with greater magic power than Takeshi were Makarov and Gildarts.
But thinking about it, how could the magic power of a monster capable of launching an attack that destroyed Nirvana be low?
"S-so strong... such powerful magic power!"
"Takeshi-nii is amazing, just as expected."
Wendy, Carla, and Happy all stared at Takeshi in astonishment, clearly shocked by his immense magic power.
As for the people of Fairy Tail, they were even worse off. They were ordinary people with almost no magic power, and instantly felt terrifying pressure emanating from Takeshi.
They felt that Takeshi at this moment was like a terrifying monster.
Only when Takeshi retracted his magic power did the people of Fairy Tail feel like they could finally breathe again.
"W-what is this? Is it magic?! What's going on? You weren't carrying any magic items. How did you use magic?!" Lucy looked at Takeshi with a face full of shock.
Everyone else shared the same confusion as Lucy. The person in front of them wasn't carrying any magic tools.
Takeshi shook his head. "No, this is merely pure magic power."
"Magic power?!"
"How can you possess magic power?! And such powerful magic power at that?!"
Their magic power was supplied by magic crystals.
How could a human possess magic power?
Moreover, the magic power this guy possessed was enough to easily activate a Teleportation Magic Circle.
Carla, with her arms crossed, explained, "The humans of Earth Land are different from the humans of Edolas. Humans there are born with magic power, which they can recover on their own when consumed, and they can grow stronger through practice."
"Takeshi is an extremely powerful Mage from that world. He alone could easily destroy a Mage Guild—not a guild like yours, but those Mage Guilds whose members all possess magic power."
Carla took the opportunity to threaten these people, telling them not to act rashly.
Of course, this wasn't a lie. Takeshi truly could destroy a guild effortlessly by himself.
Every member of Oración Seis possessed the magic power to destroy a guild, yet all those powerful individuals were taken down by Takeshi.
The Edolas Kingdom is extremely powerful, but with Takeshi present, they might still have a chance to rescue their guild comrades.
"Takeshi, why are you so certain that she is the Lisanna from our world? You haven't met her and don't know her, right?" Happy asked Takeshi, confused.
Takeshi smiled and explained, "It's very simple. The people of this world do not have magic power in their bodies, but she does have magic power in hers. Although it's not strong, it's not weak either—it's slightly greater than most Mages in the Guild."
"Therefore, I judged that she is not from this world. If she is not from this world, then naturally she is from ours. Furthermore, I heard Mira mention that her sister disappeared after being struck away by an unconscious Elfman, which is why she and Elfman believed their sister had died."
"What?!"
Natsu and the others all turned their gaze toward Lisanna.
Mages possess magic power in their bodies, and Mages with keen senses can detect the magic power of others, thus knowing their location and judging their strength based on the sensed magic power. With Takeshi's strength, it was impossible for him to be mistaken.
Natsu and Happy were feeling both excited and nervous at this moment.
