George gone after, Arcadios immediately finds the King, Princess and Defense Minister to report on this matter.
"Too lawless! Send out the Bandit Wolf Riders!"
The Defense Minister, Dutton, spoke angrily.
Although he does not agree with the plan of the Eclipse Gate, but also can not allow a mage so defied the royal dignity, dare to forcefully take away the royal family have been passed down through generations of treasure Eclipse Gate.
"In fact, I think there is some truth in what he said."
King Tomà E. Fiofioire, clutching his pumpkin headpiece, frowned.
He himself harbored doubts about using the Eclipse Gate to go back in time and kill Jervel, but it was Princess and Arcadios who kept insisting.
George's words still sound reasonable to him.
"Father, regardless of whether what that cat said is true or false, the Eclipse Gate should definitely not be kept in its hands and should be taken back as soon as possible."
The Princess, who looked to be only eleven or twelve but exuded an air of maturity, stepped forward towards the King. The sole heir to the kingdom, Sapphira E. Fiole, spoke.
"I suggest deploying the Bandit Wolf Knights!"
The defense minister also stepped forward.
The king pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright, but don't kill him. He has no ill intent. Bring him back first and lock him up."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Bandit Wolf Knights know how to handle things."
The defense minister replied confidently.
The Bandit Wolf Knights are a secret, independent unit within the royal family, numbered only five.
However, each and every one of them is an elite S-level mage who is highly skilled in kill spells. They work in perfect harmony and since their establishment, there has never been a failure on their part.
Even George, being a Saint Ten-level mage, would not stand a chance against the combined forces of the five.
A few moments later, a magic circle lit up in the King's conference room. Five mages dressed in odd costumes and distinct styles emerged, clearly experts among experts.
"Bandit Wolf Knights reporting!"
"Your mission is to."
The defense minister quickly outlined the mission of recovering the Eclipse Gate.
"Remember, if possible, try to avoid making too much noise so as not to affect the final competition tomorrow."
"Don't worry, in half an hour we will bring back the Eclipse Gate, but his injuries may be severe, so it is necessary to prepare medical personnel in advance."
The leader of the Bandit Wolf Knights, with two giant scythes protruding from his back, replied coolly before disappearing with his four team members from the spot.
Fifteen minutes later, a soldier ran into the great hall, breathless.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Bandit Wolf Knights have returned."
"Indeed, no wonder they are called Bandit Wolf Knights. They said half an hour, but they solved it in fifteen minutes."
The defense minister couldn't help but praise upon hearing this.
"No, it was carried back!"
The soldier realized that the defense minister had misunderstood and quickly finished his sentence.
"What, carried back?"
The defense minister's eyes widened instantly.
The soldier explained:
"We were the unit in charge of the aftermath outside. We saw the five members of the Bandit Wolf Knights successfully enter the dormitory of the Fairy Tail guild, and there was no commotion."
"After two minutes, the five adults were severely injured and unconscious, thrown out of the window with this piece of paper."
The defense minister took the paper, and on it was written:
"Next time, don't send this kind of garbage over to make a fool of yourself."
"This guy, what is his actual strength?"
The expressions on everyone's faces turned to shock.
The strongest Bandit Wolf Knights of the royal family, defeated in two minutes and referred to as garbage—George's strength was terrifying indeed.
At this moment, King, Princess, Defense Minister and Arcadios realized that George was not a mere Saint Ten, but one comparable to the four Heavenly Kings.
Simultaneously, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over them.
Because such a powerful individual, let alone the royal family, even the Magic Council had no means to deal with them.
Moreover, they cannot seek help from the Magic Council for this matter.
"Never mind, just leave him there for now, since it's still seven years."
Coming to his senses, the king issued the final command for the matter, which also brought a sense of relief to him who had been hesitating all along.
"That's for the best. The final match tomorrow will definitely be more exciting than I imagined."
"Now, we should have some peace for a while."
Inside the inn's dormitory, George closed his eyes and began studying the few new magic spells he had just acquired.
George had already perceived the presence of the Bandit Wolf Knights when they appeared at the inn's entrance, so he set up a barrier in advance to prevent any disturbance to his teammates' rest.
The Bandit Wolf Knights were quite formidable, with the strength of top-level mages and interesting spells, but they were still far inferior to him.
After taking care of them in a flash, he also read their memories and replicated their magic, before throwing them out the window.
"Marked Pursuit, Acid Corrosion, Terrain Effect, Paper Snowstorm and Plant Magic. They have all been developed well."
Marked Pursuit is a magic that leaves an enchantment mark on enemies, which can then track and attack with thrown weapons.
George felt that the effect of weapon tracking attack was average. He thought it could be improved in the later stages, and could be used as a magic mark to track people's positions, or converted into a magic mark that allows magic to track, such as the Curse of Death.
With such a mark, enemies could only endure or find themselves unable to dodge some directed spells.
Acid Corrosion utilizes acidic corrosion to fuse with the opponent, belonging to a specialized attack category that can deal with enemies with high elemental defenses.
Terrain Effect interests George very much. This spell can arbitrarily change the terrain of a nearby area.
For example, it can become a lava zone, an area with abnormal gravity, a strong wind zone, a freezing zone, or even reverse day and night.
If the magical power is sufficiently strong, George feels that the area can actually be infinitely expanded. If he could directly change the terrain of an entire region on a planet, the effect would be incredible.
Paper Snowstorm can be used to produce various elemental effects with paper magic, and even some mind effects. For example, blue love cards can be used to soften enemies. Combining them with soul-stealing charms and mental abilities should make them even more effective.
Plant Magic, the control and enhancement of plants, can be combined with Elves' magic and also incorporated into George's Wood Dragon power. Developing them further could also have some potential.
"By the end of tomorrow, I'll go through the library of the Magic Development Bureau."
"Tomorrow is the last day of the Grand Magic Director's Competition. After it ends, he can use the copy spell to secretly copy all the magic books in the Magic Development Bureau and bring them back to read, I believe there will be many gains."
The magic of the Bandit Wolf Knights, as well as the magic and alchemy in the competition venue, all originate from the Magic Development Bureau, and specifically from its library.
