Maples joined Fairy's Tail a year ago.
After leaving the Phoenix Palace, he went to the vicinity of the Fairy's Tail Guild. After observing the guild for a few days, he decided to join the guild himself. That way, he would be able to observe and experience the 'One Spell' better when it appeared.
He wasn't someone who liked to show off, so he didn't carry out many missions after joining the guild. However, he didn't mind passing the S-rank exam.
"Be careful."
Makarov nodded at Maples as he came down from the second floor.
He didn't like the actions of the Order of Black Magic, but since he didn't have any orders, he couldn't order the sorcerers in the guild to deal with the Order of Black Magic. Maples was willing to take the initiative to deal with the Order of Black Magic.
Moreover, with Maples' strength, there shouldn't be any accidents. He just needed to be careful.
"Don't worry."
"I'll be back soon."
Maples replied calmly and walked out of the guild.
Gray watched as Maples left the guild alone. After a short silence, he couldn't help but ask Makarov, "Guildmaster, are we letting him go alone?"
The Order of Black Magic sounded like a huge organization. If Maples went alone, wouldn't it seem a little too weak?
"Don't worry."
Makarov looked at Gray with a reassuring expression. He gazed deeply at the direction Maples disappeared. "He's the strongest sorcerer in our guild."
Gray couldn't help but look at the direction of the door. His eyes flashed with a hint of confusion.
Strongest …
What kind of strength would make these sorcerers think so?
… …
Rosemary Village.
This was a small village in the southern part of the Kingdom of Fiore. The villagers were kind and amiable. Many orphans gathered here to support each other and work hard to survive.
Not far from the village, a large number of figures quietly gathered in the dark. They all had the same symbol on them. It was the symbol of the evil organization, the Order of Black Magic.
"Is everyone here?"
A priest of the Order of Black Magic said in a hoarse voice as he held a magic wand in his hand and looked at the gathered members of the Order.
One of the leaders stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, "Lord Priest, everyone is here. We can start now."
"Alright!"
The Shaman nodded and raised his wand. He pointed at Rosemary Village and said, "Kill all the adults and capture all the children!"
"Yes!"
The members of the Order of the Black Magic responded in unison. They raised their swords and charged into Rosemary Village from the front.
Screams of horror and pain instantly broke the tranquility of the village.
In a dilapidated hut, a red-haired girl who was about to lie down and rest in a pile of grass was startled by the sound. Her eyes revealed a look of surprise as she looked out of the window.
"What's going on?"
Elusa turned over and looked out of the broken window. She saw that the village had been set ablaze at some point in time. She could vaguely see many villagers running away in panic, and behind them was a group of members of the Order of the Black Magic with sharp blades in their hands, mercilessly chasing after them.
Seeing this scene, she immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Although she was not yet twelve years old, she had lived alone since she was young and had experienced many hardships. She immediately realized that the situation was not good. After she reacted, she immediately opened the door and ran out.
"Kill all the adults! Capture all the children! "
"Hurry up!"
"Don't let any of them go!"
The shouts of the members of the Order of the Black Magic were mixed with the screams of horror and spread throughout the village.
Elusha ran a few steps along the alley and saw the members of the Order of the Black Magic in front of her. She immediately retreated because her reaction was fast enough.
"Huff … Huff …"
She looked at the members of the Order of the Black Magic as her chest heaved violently. Obviously, she could not completely remain calm and collected in this situation.
After hiding for half a minute, she poked her head out and observed for a while before continuing to escape. She was ready to find a suitable place to hide.
But at this moment.
She saw from a corner not far away, a girl younger than her was coming out with tears in her eyes. She kept calling out in fear and timidity.
"Brother … Brother, where are you?"
Elusha took a breath, forced herself to stay calm, then ran out of the shadows, grabbed Kagura's wrist, and pulled her into the narrow alley.
"If we stay here, we will be discovered!"
"But … But, Brother, he …"
Kagura was pulled by Elusha to run on the burning street. Her voice was trembling and crying. Obviously, she was completely at a loss.
Elusha pulled her and ran while saying: "Your brother can take care of himself. Find a way to survive first, and then find your brother!"
Although she was only a few years older than Kagura, Elusha was undoubtedly much more mature and steady compared to Kagura at this time. Even adults can't keep calm at this time.
But.
Just as Elusha pulled Kagura and ran for a while, the two figures happened to be discovered by a member of the Order of the Black Magic who was looking into the alley.
"Found a child!"
"There are two!"
"Catch them!"
The member of the Order of the Black Magic immediately shouted, and some of his companions nearby heard him and ran over.
Ailusa was startled and became flustered. She pulled Kagura and quickly ran forward. In her haste, she even lost one of her shoes. She didn't have time to pay attention to it.
But even so, they were still children. It was obviously impossible for them to outrun the members of the Order of the Black Magic. They were soon chased, intercepted, and finally surrounded.
"Sister … Sister …"
Kagura showed a look of fear. She hugged Elusha's arm tightly and curled up behind Elusha. Her voice was trembling.
Elusha looked at the members of the Order of the Black Magic surrounding them from all directions and gritted her teeth. She picked up a wooden stick from the ground and held one end tightly, trying to make a final resistance.
But at this time.
Bang!!!
As if something had hit them, the members of the Order of the Black Magic who were approaching her all screamed at the same time, then flew out and crashed into the burning building.
Elusha was startled for a moment and showed a little surprise.
When she looked forward, she saw that at the end of the alley, a figure had appeared at some point and was walking towards them with a calm and peaceful expression.
"Who is it?!"
The other members of the Order of the Black Magic were also shocked. They all looked at the figure that had appeared. After exchanging glances, one of them revealed a savage expression and said, "Kill him!"
Several people held their weapons and rushed towards the figure together.
Bang! Bang!!
Maples calmly looked at the members of the Order of the Black Magic who rushed over. He raised his left index finger and casually waved it to the left. The several members of the Order of the Black Magic were hit by an invisible force from afar and directly flew to the side, smashing the wall of the alley.
After dealing with the members of the Order of the Black Magic, Maples continued to walk forward and came in front of Elusha and Kagura.
Kagura nervously curled up behind Elusha, trembling.
Elusha held the wooden stick. She noticed that Maples and the members of the Order of the Black Magic shouldn't be in the same group, but seeing the scene just now, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"You … you are …"
"I'm here to deal with the Order of the Black Magic. From the looks of it, you should be fine. Stand here and don't move, I'll deal with the enemy first."
Maples said to Elusha in an easy-going manner, then bypassed the two and continued to walk forward.
Although Elusha and Kagura were still very young at this time, he recognized them at first sight. Their appearance when they grew up flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh. They were much cuter when they were young.
Elusha looked at Maples who walked past her in a daze. Although she still didn't know the identity of Maples at this time, she could tell that Maples seemed to have come to save them and deal with the group of villains who were wreaking havoc in the village.
"Was that … magic just now …?"
She recalled the scene where Maples waved his finger and sent the members of the Order of the Black Magic flying from a distance. She couldn't help but whisper in her heart.
At this time, Kagura, who was pulling her clothes and shrinking beside her, suddenly pointed her finger to the sky and said. "Sis … Sis, look!"
Elusha looked up sharply.
She saw.
Maples' figure has already appeared in the sky at some point. He stretched out his hand and grabbed, and the fire that spread throughout the village was pulled by him, surging wildly.
All the flames were gathered in his hand, and finally condensed into a huge fireball. Suspended in the sky, it illuminated the entire village in the night.
Maples held the fireball with his left hand, and casually stretched out his right hand and raised it. All the members of the Order of the Black Magic in all directions were covered by his power and involuntarily floated up into the sky.
"Aaaaah …"
These members of the Order of the Black Magic screamed in horror and struggled with all their might, but they couldn't control their bodies at all.
Among them, a thin priest looked at Maples with a frightened expression. He waved the magic wand in his hand and released a magic bullet in the direction of Maples.
Bang!
Before the magic bullet reached Maples, it was swallowed by the fireball in Maples' left hand.
"Archmage, you … you dare to make an enemy of our Order of the Black Magic …?"
Seeing this scene, the priest shouted himself hoarse. "Stop for this old man, our Order of the Black Magic won't let you off!"
Maples' expression was indifferent. He didn't look at him and didn't respond at all. After pulling the priest and all the other members of the Order of the Black Magic into the sky, he waved his right hand.
Whoosh!!!
All the members of the Order of the Black Magic were released from the shackles of gravity and flew into the sky while screaming in horror. Finally, they disappeared into the night sky, their whereabouts unknown.
After letting the members of the Order of the Black Magic experience a space walk and a moon landing, Maples' left hand and right hand came together and gently patted the fireball.
Then.
Maples slowly walked forward and descended from the sky step by step.
Elusa and Kagura looked at this scene with some shock.
"Thank … Thank you, Sir Archmage!"
When the surviving villagers saw this scene, some of them gradually recovered from the shock. They all showed expressions of gratitude and knelt down toward Feng Ye in the sky.
Maples didn't respond and just landed on the ground.
Seeing Maples walking out of the village like this, as if preparing to leave, Elusa woke up from her shock and hurriedly looked at Maples' back. "Thank, thank you …"
"No need to thank me."
Maples glanced at her and said amiably. "I came a little late, otherwise, this place wouldn't have become like this."
Elusa shook her head and said, "No … it's not your fault …"
Seeing that Maples was friendlier than she expected, after a short hesitation, she asked Maples, "Um, can you tell me your name?"
Maples smiled.
"Maples."
"Fairy's Tail Archmage."
After leaving these two sentences, Maples stepped forward and disappeared into the darkness. Only Elusa, who was muttering the words' Maples' and 'Fairy's Tail', and Kagura, who was still in a daze, were left behind.
