The Royal Army

"Open it!"

Eleven unleashed his full power, using his Telekinesis to form a drill shape around everyone, and then slammed it into the newly formed vortex in the sky.

While the others felt as if they had rushed into a strange, dark cloud, Eleven felt a sense of oppression coming from all directions.

This Anima was originally the kind of tiny Anima that even Mystogan wouldn't bother with, and now that Eleven has brought so many people and barged into its body all at once, the Anima will definitely instinctively start a rejection reaction.

The chaotic magic around him churned and writhed, pressing against Eleven's Telekinesis Barrier and producing a series of grating, grating sounds.

Laxus, Gildarts, Erza, who were inside the barrier, wanted to help, but their magic was immediately absorbed by Anima and was of no use. At this point, they could only rely on Eleven himself.

Fortunately, Eleven was powerful, Telekinesis was as condensed as steel under his control. He shattered the magical turbulence inside the Anima in one fell swoop and rushed straight into it.

After navigating the suffocating narrowness, Eleven felt as if they had shattered a thin barrier, the surrounding pressure vanished instantly, and a bright, open space appeared before them.

Before their eyes was an exceptionally beautiful and dazzling starry sky, with two bright moons, one golden and one red, echoing each other, creating a strange sight that Eleven and his companions had never seen before.

This is Edolas!

The time in Edolas seemed to be different from that in Earth-land. When Eleven others set off, it was still noon in Earth-land, but it was already late at night when they arrived in Edolas.

However, these things weren't particularly important, and Eleven didn't have time to think about those details. He was currently using all his strength to maintain his Telekinesis flight.

The moment Eleven led everyone through the world, the magic within him truly vanished! Fortunately, Spiritual Power doesn't fall under the category of magic, so Eleven could still use it independently. However, relying solely on Spiritual Power to maintain the flight of a dozen or so people was simply too much for Eleven to handle.

"Uh... I'm sorry everyone... My magic is gone, I... I can't hold on any longer..."

The Telekinesis Barrier surrounding everyone vanished instantly!

σ(っ°д°;(°д°(ミﾟдﾟ彡(ﾟдﾟﾉ)ﾟдﾟ(!!

A group of people who should have been enjoying the magnificent scenery suddenly plummeted to their deaths, staring at each other in disbelief. Fortunately, Eleven had tried his best to reduce the altitude, and given that everyone was a mage, there was little chance of them dying from the fall.

Apart from Natsu, Gray, Elfman, Happy, who tumbled face-first into the mud Lala and shoving each other, everyone else landed relatively smoothly.

Gildarts slammed Cana to the ground with a thud, his powerful body completely unharmed.

Laxus, Erik, Erza landed with classic superhero landing poses, looking both stylish and cool.

Mystogan flanked Wendy and Carla under his arms, and this little lolicon was even faster than Eleven, snatching Wendy away the instant they landed.

Finally, Eleven carried Mira as they slowly floated down from the air. Mira was injured, so Eleven naturally took extra care of her, afraid she might hurt herself.

Releasing Mira, whose face was flushed, Eleven looked around at their surroundings. It seemed like they had originally been in a forest.

The reason I say "formerly" is because this forest has now been completely logged, leaving only a dense pile of tree stumps as proof of its former lushness.

"Hey, Mystogan, do you know where this is?" Eleven turned to look at the local guide.

Mystogan had already released Wendy, frowned as he looked around, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't know where he was either. After all, he was just an ordinary prince, and it was impossible for him to be so familiar with the world that he would recognize every random grove of trees.

"Hey! There are quite a few of them coming this way!"

Suddenly, Erik shouted a warning, his ears twitching as he cautiously peered into the darkness.

Surprisingly, Erik's hearing was still working perfectly here. It seems that his godlike hearing is not just the effect of magic, but must also be a natural gift.

Almost at the same time, Eleven also looked in that direction. Although the sealing of his magic had reduced his Spiritual Power sensitivity, he was still alert in this unfamiliar environment. Unlike Natsu and the others, who were already planning a team adventure!

Soon, under the dim moonlight, a small team of several dozen people entered Eleven and his group's field of vision and quickly began to change formation, seemingly intending to surround them.

"Royal Army is handling this matter. Everyone, lay down your weapons and cooperate with the investigation. We have no intention of harming you! I repeat, Royal Army is handling this matter..."

The leader started shouting even before he got close, holding a megaphone-shaped device in his hand. Although it didn't emit any magical energy, it amplified his voice to a great extent, making it no less powerful than a magical artifact.

The other soldiers were also dressed in a unique way. Instead of wearing armor like traditional soldiers, they wore very thin clothing, which looked like ordinary uniforms.

Each soldier held a... gun? It should be a gun, right? Eleven felt it looked a lot like the magical firearms he had seen before, but just like that big megaphone, it had no magical fluctuations at all, and he had no idea how to fire bullets.

Eleven quickly scanned the area, then looked at Mystogan with some confusion. According to Mystogan, Edolas, although a world lacking in magic, should still be a nation built on a magical civilization, right? Moreover, its development of magical artifacts was far more advanced than Earth-land's; the weapons used by its soldiers should theoretically all be magical weapons, shouldn't they?

Is it because the magic power within him is sealed, that he can't even sense the magical fluctuations of magical weapons?

In fact, Mystogan was even more confused Eleven. He didn't understand why they were discovered as soon as they came out of Anima. When did the Kingdom's surveillance of Anima become so strict?

Furthermore, although these people claimed to be the Royal Army, the uniforms they wore were completely unfamiliar to the current Crown Prince Mystogan. Had his father changed his style in recent years? Their weapons also looked strange, lacking any magical enhancement—what was the difference between them and fire pokers?
