Three guards neutralized.

Two front gate sentries neutralized.

The 3 guards guarding the perimeter of the fort and the 2 guarding the entrance are neutralized in a matter of seconds. The method is the same as < or .

When applied directly to the skin, it produces 500,000 volts, and up to about 5,000,000 volts against thick leather clothing.

The golems of the Covert Maneuver Squad (SP), also known as the Ninja Squad, can fire electric blasts with their own hands to paralyze even without a staff.

"Two back gate sentinels neutralized."

The fort's personnel were neutralized one by one as they disappeared in stealth and were several times stronger and faster than humans.

"We have 32 men in the fort. Currently 12 are incapacitated.

Reports came in to Reiko one after another via the built-in manacam (magic element communication device).

"The fortress seems to have three stories underground and three stories above ground. The material is granite. It is a relatively new structure.

The condition of the building is also reported one by one. At the same time, it was also reported to Laozi of Horai Island, who analyzed the situation on his own.

"There is a reaction on the second basement floor that seems to be Elsa's.

"Presence of the leader of the fortress on the second floor above ground.

"Nineteen men are currently incapacitated. There's a chance they're about to find out.

All right, Erza's protection is our top priority.

Copy that.

Copy that.

What's going on?　What's going on?

I don't know!　I don't know! The sentry's gone!　The guard that was on duty hasn't come back!

Enemy fire?

I don't know, sir.

All right, let's go to class one alert!

All right, put us on alert level one.

......?

The noise woke Elsa up.

"What's going on?"

Just then, two masked men came down the stairs.

"There they are!"

"Yeah, we're all clear."

They saw Erza in the cell and were talking to each other. One of them, and soon the other one, collapsed.

"?"

Two golems appear in front of Erza, who has no idea what is going on.

Both were female and about the same height as Elsa. One of them uttered a voice.

"Are you sure you are Erza-san?

"Uh, yes."

The other one, hearing this, seemed to be reporting to someone who was not here.

"Erza-san has been found. She does not appear to be badly injured. She is in jail and we are going to start rescuing her.

One of the female golem put her hand on the bars of the prison, and bent the thick bars.

"Amazing!"

The golem steps through the bars, which are bent enough to allow a single person to pass through, and steps inside,

"Excuse me."

With that, it twisted off the restraints that bound Erza's hands and feet. But,

"I'm afraid you'll have to be the chief to remove that choker, so please be patient for a while longer."

"What?　Chief?

Yes. The one who made us.

The one who...?

Nidohito, it's your father.

Jin-kun. ......

Tears welled up in Erza's eyes. She knew that Jin had never given up on her.

"Erza-san, can you walk?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Then please put this on."

The golem took a ring from the glove compartment at its waist and handed it to Erza. It was something familiar to Elsa.

"This is..."

The first ring Jin gave me, a protection ring. It was the ring that had saved Erza so many times. With tears still streaming down her eyes, Elsa put the ring on.

"Come on, let's go."

The golem stood up and started to walk away,

"Wait, what are your names?"

Erza asked, thinking that Jin's golem must have a name.

I'm Kanna. And this is Dahlia.

"Kanna Dalia. Thank you."

With these short words, Elsa started to walk after Kanna and Dalia.

They walked up the stairs. When they reached the next floor, Dahlia disappeared.

"Gee!"

A short, muffled scream was heard.

In the middle of the corridor stretching to the left was Dahlia, who had disappeared, and at her feet were two black masked men lying on the floor.

"Did you kill them?"

"No, I just knocked them out. The chief doesn't like murderers.

Climbing the stairs, we found ourselves in a large lobby where four black masked men were lying on the floor. And two male golems were standing there.

"Huh, too?"

Erza asks, looking at the male golem.

"Yes. They are Elm and Ash.

The two golems come closer to her,

"Erza-san, right? We will send them to you.

Thus Erza escaped from the fortress, the branch of the Unifiler, protected by Kanna, Dahlia, Elm, and Ash.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *

"Erza!　You're safe!"

A few hundred meters from the fort, Erza met Jin again.

"Jin, kun. ......"

Erza ran out, buried her face in Jin's chest, and cried out loudly.

"Jin, kun, that was scary. ......"

"Erza......"

Jin patted Erza's back for a while, and when Erza finally stopped crying, he gently grabbed her shoulders and let go of her body. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gently wiped her face.

"Thank you."

Jin wondered at Erza's voice, which was even more faltering than usual, and found a choker stuck in her neck.

"What's this?"

"It's a necklace that seals out evil."

Jin's face lit up with anger when he heard that. Erza has excess magic power. What would happen if we blocked her magic? The excess magic will eat away at her body.

"You put this on her!"

In a fit of anger, Jin picked up the choker.

"What?"

Erza was surprised that the choker, which she had been unable to remove no matter how hard she tried, came off so easily, but she agreed that it was just because it was Jin.

Jin was examining the removed choker with tracing and inspection magic,

"It doesn't just seal magic. ......!　It's the opposite of healing magic, it's a magic formula (Magi Formula) that slowly causes physical discomfort to the body.

He then grabs his choker and gives Reiko more instructions.

"Reiko, I'm going to smash that fort!"
