A group of people repeatedly compared coordinates, confirming that this was the right place, high above the Jushi Mountains.
But at this moment, where were the mountains? There was only an endless sea.
And the chaotic and restless magic intertwined here clearly showed what had happened during the day.
Obviously...
The entire Jushi Mountains had been blown away.
It had even expanded to the western edge of the Jushi Mountains, connecting the land and the sea, creating this scene.
The original Jushi Mountains were gone, replaced by a man-made sea.
The people from the Magic Council sent professional investigators with various equipment to start collecting magic data from here.
Meanwhile, Makarov, Yajima, and others stood at the edge of the magic airship, sensing the chaotic magic.
Yajima's eyes were filled with unusual worry, and his expression was solemn:
"This level of destruction."
"It can't be something a person could do, can it?"
"It seems the Dark Guild really created something big."
Makarov's expression was also solemn. He raised his hand, and a light appeared in his palm.
The sphere created by Light Magic illuminated the area around the magic airship, instantly revealing the Dark Magic in the air, which was then quickly dispersed. Everyone inexplicably felt their bodies become imperceptibly lighter.
Seeing this, Makarov frowned tightly:
"Such dense Dark Magic."
"It has completely replaced the natural elemental magic in this area."
Ichiya from Blue Pegasus also put away his lecherous demeanor at this moment and, for a change, began to think seriously:
"Could it be some kind of forbidden Magic?"
"Or perhaps they summoned some Demon."
Makarov pondered for a moment before speaking:
"That's not impossible."
"Human power is ultimately limited. To cause such widespread destruction and leave behind Dark Magic residue..."
"It simply doesn't seem like something a person could do."
"However..."
Makarov inexplicably felt a familiar magic residue in the air, but it was imperceptible. He just felt it was very familiar, making it difficult to determine whose it was.
Hearing Makarov's words, the others looked over. Seeing Makarov frowning in thought, Yajima spoke:
"What's wrong, Makarov?"
Makarov shook his head and said:
"No, nothing."
"Let's wait for the investigation results first."
The Magic Council personnel on the ship were incredibly busy.
Not long after.
A light appeared on the distant horizon. As the light approached, it turned out to be other Council airships coming from different directions.
Several Magic Council airships gathered together, and Yajima stepped forward to inquire:
"Have you found anything in the other directions?"
The Council members in charge on the other ships exchanged words, saying:
"There's nothing unusual."
"The entire Jushi Mountains were destroyed by the explosion, leaving no trace whatsoever."
"Unless we go deep underwater to see if there's anything left."
"But I don't feel there's much hope."
"This place was destroyed by an extremely powerful Dark Magic explosion. Under such a magic explosion, it's almost impossible for anything to remain intact."
"However, we did find some stones on the edge that seem to have been cut by Magic."
"Our initial suspicion is that the Dark Guild is using these stones to build something."
"We plan to take them back to the Council and try to trace and restore them."
Saying this, a Council member on one of the ships ordered someone to bring over several square stones and place them on the deck.
The moment he saw the stones, Yajima's cold sweat instantly flowed down. Watching the other Council members discussing the possible uses of these stones, Yajima quietly withdrew and found Makarov:
"Come with me quickly."
