"This is a huge problem!"
At Makarov's words, a flicker of panic crossed his face. A Magic Council councilor being in danger was no small matter.
"No, isn't this an opportunity?!"
Ywen shook his head after hearing Makarov's words.
"If we can pull Councilor Toki Andarba from the neutral faction over to our side, I think our position with the Magic Council will improve greatly in the future!"
Ywen was meticulous by nature. In truth, his Observation Haki had long detected the Dark Guild wizards who had ambushed the train. The moment they arrived at a nearby mountaintop in that strange vehicle, he had noticed them. He knew their magic power and their numbers perfectly well; he simply had not intervened.
"That makes sense!"
The previously anxious Makarov's eyes lit up after hearing Ywen's words.
"Wait, no..."
"Ywen, could it be that this kidnapping of Councilor Toki Andarba was your—"
Several beads of sweat appeared on Makarov's forehead. He feared that Ywen had embarked on the wrong path.
"Of course not..."
Ywen shook his head. This could only be considered a coincidence!
In fact, even if they ignored the matter, Tocchi Anderba would remain completely unharmed. That was because, within Ywen's senses, there was an idiot currently imprisoned in the prison under Tocchi Anderba's jurisdiction, around two or three kilometers from the station...
"Whew, then I'm relieved! There are some things we absolutely cannot do! That is the bottom line!"
Only then did Makarov let out a sigh of relief after hearing Ywen's words, taking the opportunity to lecture everyone present.
"Don't worry, Guild Master..."
"Also, if we don't chase after them now, it'll be too late!"
Ywen pointed at the magic-powered vehicle taking off outside the window.
"Huh?!"
"Then what are we waiting for?! Chase them! We need to put on a good showing!"
Makarov's eyes widened as he watched the magic-powered vehicle fly directly into the sky outside. Even he rarely saw something like that.
"Everyone, hold tight!"
As Ywen spoke, he lightly slapped the train car beneath their feet.
Boom!
With a thunderous roar, the train car soared into the sky, closely pursuing the magic device ahead!
Meanwhile...
Inside the flying magic device that resembled a tank.
"I'll say this one more time: it's not too late to release me now. If you let me go, I'll pretend none of this ever happened. But if you insist on going down this path, once word reaches the Magic Council, the other councilors will never let this slide. They will definitely send top-tier wizards to subjugate you. Even Ten Wizard Saints-level wizards are not out of the question!"
Tocchi Anderba looked sternly at the group of wizards before him, all dressed alike and sharing identical appearances. They were from the Dark Guild Gojobashi Family, all children of a murderer currently imprisoned in Magic Prison BLACKVOX. Their purpose was obvious: to free their father.
"We understand that you are right, but please forgive us for being unable to comply. As long as we can free our father, we would brave fire and water without hesitation!"
The leader of the Gojobashi Family, a man who appeared to be the eldest son, spoke coldly to Tocchi Anderba.
"This is troublesome..."
"Still, with things having grown this serious, Mr. Makarov will surely notice. As long as Mr. Makarov takes action..."
Tocchi Anderba looked somewhat panicked. All his hopes now rested on Makarov and the others he had met on the train.
"Looks like we've arrived!"
Before long, the Gojobashi Family's eldest son revealed a faint smile. He dragged Tocchi Anderba onto the deck of the magic device. Outside, a massive black cube floated in the sky. It was Magic Prison BLACKVOX!
"Halt! Do not approach!"
As the Gojobashi Family drew closer, countless black cube-shaped guards approached them, issuing repeated warnings.
"If you don't want your warden to come to harm, then open the prison gates!"
The Gojobashi Family's eldest son gripped Tocchi Anderba by the neck with one hand and held him high, facing the flying machines.
"What?! Warden Tocchi..."
After recognizing Tocchi Anderba's face, the guards inside the cubes looked horrified.
They promptly opened the prison gates.
"Thank you for your cooperation!"
The eldest son of the Gojobashi Family curled his lips into a smile and flew the craft inside.
Not long afterward, while everyone's attention was focused on the Gojobashi Family, an utterly ordinary train car also flew into the prison.
Inside the enormous black cube were countless smaller cubes. Based on sentence length and threat level, the prison guards confined wizards in those smaller cubes according to a set system.
And the Gojobashi Family's father was one of the most dangerous prisoners...
"Take us to the Central Prison Tower!"
The Gojobashi Family's eldest son held Tocchi Anderba by the neck and coldly ordered the others.
Very quickly, the Gojobashi Family confronted the prison guards head-on.
"Please release Mr. Tocchi! As for Doramu, we will release him!"
Gurogu Foto, the prison chief guard holding a massive key, looked sternly at the Gojobashi Family.
"No! You can't release him!"
Tocchi Anderba stared sternly at Gurogu. As the prison's warden, how could he allow anyone to escape from the prison under his watch?!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Andba. I know this is wrong, but I can't do it! Because to us, you are like a father..."
As Gurogu spoke, he swung the key. A small black box immediately floated over and slowly opened.
In an instant, a towering, muscular man appeared before everyone. He stretched his limbs, then looked at his children and laughed. "Hahaha..."
"Well done, my children. Everything is proceeding according to plan!"
"Father!"
The wizards clad in guild battle robes all respectfully bowed to the burly man.
"We have kept our agreement and released your father. Now you can get lost! But I imagine you'll be caught and brought back soon enough. Cherish your time outside. Once you return this time, don't even think about getting out again..."
Gurogu spoke coldly as he looked at the burly man.
"Hah?!"
"Guard, aren't you getting ahead of yourself?!"
"We didn't come here this time with any intention of leaving!"
The burly man took the weapon handed to him by his son and looked coldly at Gurogu.
"What?!"
Gurogu's expression changed in panic as an unpleasant possibility came to mind.
"This massive fortress belongs to our Gojobashi Family from now on!"
The burly man revealed a ferocious smile. Ever since he had been imprisoned here, he had been planning to seize Magic Prison BLACKVOX!
"This ends here!"
Just as the burly man laughed, Makarov and the others descended from the sky amid waves of shocking magic power!
"You, you're..."
The burly man looked at Makarov, especially the emblem on Makarov's chest, and his pupils suddenly contracted. He had heard of the Ten Wizard Saints!
