What!!!
The Evil Demon Claws' leader's pupils constricted to pinpricks, and without a word, he turned and fled!
The Evil Demon Claws feared no guild!
But the only Light Guilds they truly feared were Phantom Lord and the Fairy Tail Guild.
Now, two Mages from the Fairy Tail Guild had come out.
This was clearly an attempt to wipe them out!
"Retreat!"
With their leader fleeing in fear, how could the subordinates possibly continue to resist?
They immediately scattered in a panic.
"I need more magic power. Let's try to take care of these guys in one go!" Mystogan said.
"Alright!"
Aux replied quickly, his hands clasped in front of him.
"Addition: Magic Power Amplification!"
Ding! Detected the use of Enchantment Magic. Infinite Addition has been upgraded to: Magic Power Amplification Lv. MAX.
Enchantment Magic activated.
Seven magic circles, each the size of a washbasin, formed and appeared out of thin air at the tips of Mystogan's seven magic staffs.
"You…"
Mystogan's breath hitched.
He looked at Aux with a surprised gaze, seemingly not expecting him to attach magic power to his magic staffs.
"You didn't really think I wouldn't notice that you have no magic power in your body, did you?" Aux retorted.
Mystogan came from another world and had no magic power in his body, so Aux's Addition would be useless on him.
Therefore, he used 'Magic Power Amplification' to boost the magic power of his magic staffs.
This was the only way to amplify his attacks.
"Don't overthink it, just act quickly. Remember to let one person escape back to their guild so we can follow them." Aux reminded him.
Mystogan took a deep breath and withdrew his gaze.
He posed with his hands in front of him, and the next second, five magic staffs rose from the ground.
He communicated with the magic power inside the magic staffs.
He felt an unprecedented abundance, as if he were immersed in an ocean of magic power.
The five magic staffs spread out, quickly forming a huge circle around him.
"Five-fold Magic Circle: Kagura!"
Release magic power!
Instantly, a towering pillar of light appeared, filling the area encompassed by the magic staffs.
Overlapping magic circles floated in the sky, stacking higher and higher.
Residents in the distant town saw the pillar of light.
They even thought a miracle had occurred.
Using powerful hypnosis, all the Evil Demon Claws members within the pillar of light were forced into a deep sleep.
Only their leader managed to escape.
"Well done!" Aux praised.
The pillar of light was estimated to be thirty meters in diameter, and the magic power consumed was negligible.
This Addition to the magic staffs was quite effective.
"The Evil Demon Claws' leader escaped. The others will be asleep here for at least five hours." Mystogan said.
There was still a lot of magic power in the magic staffs, and he wanted to take the opportunity to quickly deal with the Dark Guild.
"Follow him!" Aux agreed.
The two of them leisurely trailed behind the Evil Demon Claws' leader, stopping not long after at a hidden cave entrance.
The cave looked very concealed from the outside, which was why Mystogan couldn't find it.
"I'll go first." Aux said.
He walked into the cave ahead, with Mystogan following closely, staff in hand, ready to protect him at any moment.
This cave must have been some kind of wild beast's lair.
After being occupied by the Evil Demon Claws, they dug and expanded it further, creating deeper caverns.
Surprisingly, there were no traps along the way. This rendered Aux's enhanced defenses completely useless.
As they delved deeper, they could feel the passage sloping downwards.
The passage was also very damp, indicating it was a newly dug path without needing to guess.
The narrow passage grew deeper and deeper. Ten minutes later, their vision suddenly opened up to a brightly lit, spacious cavern.
Dozens of Evil Demon Claws members stared in their direction, their weapons glinting coldly.
"You stinking fairies dare to chase after me! Today, I'll kill two Mages and have a feast!" the Evil Demon Claws' leader roared with a savage expression.
Immediately after, two earth-attribute spellcasters used magic.
As the ground shook, a large amount of dirt directly blocked the passage they had come through.
"You can't escape! Hahahaha…"
The Evil Demon Claws members cackled, blocking the exit and trapping their enemies here.
Now they could freely torment them, kill them, and bury them directly in this pit. It would probably be months before anyone could find them.
This series of actions left Aux and Mystogan stunned.
They thought, 'Dark Guilds truly are brainless.'
These people didn't even consider that by blocking the exit, they themselves couldn't escape either, could they?
To actually do something that cut off their own retreat.
It truly made both of them not know whether to laugh or cry. They could only say, 'It's just like them!'
"Kill them!"
The Evil Demon Claws' leader waved his hand, and dozens of people rushed forward, shouting.
The melee members charged with raised weapons, smiles of savagery on their faces.
The ranged spellcasters were all brewing their attacks.
In the blink of an eye, various attacks came one after another!
"Addition: Slowness!"
Ding! Detected the use of Enchantment Magic. Infinite Addition has been upgraded to: Slowness Lv. MAX.
Facing dozens of people, Aux calmly used Enchantment Magic and a huge magic circle enveloped all the members.
Their movements immediately slowed down many times over; simple actions took several seconds to complete.
"High-level Addition: Form Transformation — Rabbit!"
Ding! Detected…
Before Mystogan could even make a move, Aux used a new spell again.
Instantly!, All the members' bodies immediately changed, finally transforming into adorable rabbits.
"Done!" Aux nodded.
Form Transformation could turn a target into anything, and its duration naturally wouldn't be too long.
However, it was enough time for the Magic Council to arrive and apprehend them.
"Unbelievable…"
Mystogan held it in for a long time. He was supposed to be the main attacker this time.
It was over before he even moved.
Moreover, didn't Aux say he wasn't good at fighting? How could he explain this situation?
Sure enough, he couldn't fully trust his words.
Thinking further, he seemed to have played no role at all in this S-Class Mage Promotion Exam.
Aux found the clues, and he formulated the plan.
He also dealt with the enemies.
Who exactly was participating in the S-Class Mage Promotion Exam?!
"It's time to go back to town and apprehend the tavern owner. Once that's done, we'll head back quickly. Cana might have finished her mission by now."
Aux clapped his hands.
Looking at the rabbits hopping all over the ground, he nodded in satisfaction.
This exam mission was quite simple.
"Alright…"
Mystogan was speechless.
The two of them used the cages that the Evil Demon Claws used to imprison passing merchants to lock up all the rabbits.
Then they returned to town.
Upon entering the tavern, they didn't hesitate, immediately apprehending the owner.
Then they notified the city guards.
The Magic Council's cleanup crew also arrived promptly, heading to the jungle to arrest all members of the Evil Demon Claws.
This S-Class Mage Promotion Exam concluded perfectly!
"I didn't expect the promotion exam to be so easy. I should be able to become an S-Class Mage now."
Aux mumbled to himself on the way back.
Mystogan, next to him, remained silent after hearing his words.
Indeed, Aux had already taken the promotion exam as his own mission…
