Pursuit

To everyone's surprise, Eleven's Spiritual Power had already radiated out like lightning.

Unlike Erik's super hearing, which is like a passive skill, Eleven's Spiritual Power Take Over far too detailed and complex information, so he can only maintain a normal range of about 100 to 200 meters. He needs to actively release his Spiritual Power to see beyond that range, otherwise his brain can't process it.

This is why Eleven is in no way inferior to Erik in reconnaissance and enemy detection.

But none of that mattered now. Eleven's Spiritual Power rapidly spread in the direction Wendy had just run off in. Sure enough, a moment later he spotted four unfamiliar figures carrying the delicate Wendy as they raced through the sea of trees.

"Damn, these guys are so fast!"

After estimating the distance, Eleven became extremely anxious. Wendy had only run out for a short time, yet she had already been taken so far.

These damn lolicon!

Eleven's body was instantly propelled out, and before he could explain anything, he rushed out of the tent and chased after Wendy.

Erza and Mira reacted quickly, appearing almost simultaneously and following Eleven on either side.

"Wow, wait for me, I'm coming too!" Natsu quickly dropped the meat bone he was holding and chased after it, yelling.

Gray was also in a hurry; he didn't even have time to put on his clothes before squeezing out the door with Natsu.

Just then, a blue figure flashed past them from behind, flying towards Eleven and the others at incredible speed. "Carla, wait for me, we're coming to save you!"

The difference in strength became apparent at this moment. Eleven took the lead, Telekinesis to fly, moving as fast as lightning. Erza and Mira were half a step behind, but not by much. Requip their clothes, others transformed, and they managed to catch up using their own methods.

Natsu and Gray fared rather poorly. They had no way to accelerate and, with their short legs, they couldn't catch up with the three ahead of them at all. In no time, they were completely out of sight.

On the contrary, Happy suddenly unleashed astonishing speed, perhaps due to the power of love. He took the lead, quickly leaving Natsu behind and catching up with Eleven. He even tried to fly further, but Eleven grabbed his tail and placed it on his head. He didn't want Happy to die before Wendy was even rescued.

Only then did Erik slowly stand up from the tent behind him and walk out somewhat casually. He had none of those idiots' enthusiasm and couldn't be bothered with them. Since so many people had gone to the rescue, he figured he could just coast along without much trouble.

"Ahem, Lord Erik, Wendy will be in your care from now on."

Rob looked worried behind him, but there was nothing he could do. He could only whisper something to the nonchalant Erik, trying to signal him to hurry up.

Erik glanced back at Rob. He couldn't read the old man's mind, and he wondered how the old man knew his name. Had he even introduced himself?

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Erik couldn't be bothered with it anymore. He probably found out from Fairy Tail. He waved at Rob, his movements still slow and deliberate, which was frustrating.

"Heart, we've been discovered. They've scattered," Eleven said to Erza and Mira, who were following behind him.

However, they didn't change direction, still heading straight for the tall man carrying Wendy at the front. The other three seemed to be trying to circle around behind them, possibly to outflank them.

Eleven hesitated for only a moment before deciding to rescue Wendy first. Only when Wendy was safe could they focus on fighting.

As for the enemy trying to outflank them, let them do so. With prior preparations, Eleven didn't see much difference between that and a direct confrontation.

Just now, they found Carla, who had just woken up from her coma. Upon hearing that Wendy had really been kidnapped, Carla immediately burst into tears. Her tearful appearance gave Happy a renewed burst of energy, and his wings fluttered like an electric fan. He wished he could rush over and snatch Wendy back in the next second and then present her to Carla.

Urged on by Happy, Eleven and her group sped up once more, and soon an exceptionally tall figure appeared in their line of sight Eleven.

The large man, cloaked and at least 2.5 meters tall, carried a skull staff. The staff looked vaguely familiar to Eleven, as if he'd seen it somewhere before. However, before he could dwell on it, his attention was drawn to Wendy was being carried on the burly man's shoulder.

"Wendy!!"

Upon seeing Wendy being carried unconscious on the shoulder of a burly man, Carla screamed and flew away in a flash, even faster than Happy had been.

However, Eleven was faster than her. The instant he saw Wendy, his Telekinesis erupted, shattering the ground and sending Eleven's body flying like a cannonball as he reached out to grab Wendy.

The big guy sensed the movement behind him and reacted quickly, throwing a punch behind him without even looking.

Eleven didn't dodge; instead, he habitually conjured Telekinesis Shield in front of him, letting the giant's fist fall without paying attention, just as it was about to grab Wendy's clothes.

Ding! Click!!

Just as Eleven was about to succeed, the giant's fist slammed into the Telekinesis Shield, making a clanging sound. However, to Eleven's surprise, the ever-reliable Shield failed to stop the giant's attack, and the entire Shield shattered the next moment.

Under Eleven's shocked gaze, the massive fist slammed into his chest.

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Eleven seemed to hear the sound of his ribs breaking, and he was once again sent flying backward at the speed of a cannonball.

"Eleven!!"

Mira and Erza, standing behind him, stopped in their tracks in shock. They only saw Eleven dash out like lightning, then fly back, coughing up blood, and crashing into the bushes behind him.

Erza broke out in a cold sweat at the sight and instinctively gripped her sword tighter.

Mira's reaction was even stronger. Her large eyes were fixed on the burly man, and the demonic particles within her body surged out uncontrollably as if drawn by a force, instantly Take Over the Satan Soul.

"This feeling... he's a demon!?"

Meanwhile, the three mages who were supposed to flank Eleven did not turn back, but instead ran forward, heading straight for Natsu and Gray who were lagging behind.
