As Calvin took Calvin Lucifer away from Wendy, Natsu and Gajeel also realized that their priority was to protect Wendy, or more precisely, Mystogan, who was being healed by Wendy.
Gray had already said before that everyone in Guild's had returned to their original state. In other words, they had already achieved their goal of coming to Edolas. The only thing left was how to return home.
Only Mystogan could accomplish this task.
Originally, they had planned to save Exceed, but with the current manpower, there was nothing they could do.
Natsu, Gajeel, and the Dragon Knight engaged in a fierce battle. Although they could inflict damage on the Dragon Knight, their attacks seemed somewhat insufficient in power. Both of them realized that if they continued like this, they would run out of magic power before defeating the Dragon Knight.
At this moment, Gajeel missed Wendy so much. If he had Wendy's support, the Dragon Knight in front of him would become a piece of scrap metal.
"Come quickly, little brat!" Gajeel secretly shouted in his heart.
On the other side, Gray's mission was not easy either. Not only did he have to protect Wendy to treat Mystogan, but he also had to watch over the two kittens.
After all, the main goal of the royal army was to turn Exceed into Lacrima. As the other Exceed fell into the net one after another, more and more people took Gray and the others as their targets.
"Ice-Make: Knuckle!"
Gray shouted and pressed his hands on the ground. A large number of huge ice fists were created on the ground, bombarding from the bottom to the top, sending many people flying in an instant.
There wasn't even the time to catch his breath. Immediately, an attack shot over. Gray's posture remained unchanged, and his magic power continued to be consumed.
"Ice-Make: Ice Wall!"
He didn't move his body, but Gray created an ice wall in the opposite direction, blocking the attack again.
"Ha.. ha... there are too many people..." Gray gasped for breath, looking very tired. He had been fighting for a long time, and his magic power was severely exhausted. Even he did not know how long he could last.
It had to be known that his enemies were not just soldiers, but also those huge magical beasts, Legion.
"Just a little longer, just a little longer, and the healing will be complete!" Wendy also exerted her utmost efforts. For her, Mystogan was a special presence, so she spared no effort in using her healing magic.
This magic consumed a lot of magic power. Fortunately, she had preserved her magic power before. Otherwise, after the treatment, she would probably lose her combat ability.

"Magic Card - Thousand Blades!"
Countless knives appeared out of thin air and flew toward Calvin Lucifer. In the face of this attack, Calvin Lucifer, who could not use gloves, could only dodge or clash.
However, there were too many knives, so it was impossible to dodge them one by one. Therefore, he chose to attack each other.
"Wolf's Howl Cannon!"
The wolf head on Calvin Lucifer's shoulder changed shape again, and the armor extended from his shoulder to his wrist. The wolf head also moved, fixed at the position of the forearm, and turned into a muzzle in the shape of a wolf head.
A huge magic bomb shot out from the wolf's mouth, bouncing off the knife in front of him. The magic bomb did not disappear but continued to shoot in the direction of Calvin.
Calvin once again shot out a card, summoning a long-prepared summoning beast. A swordsman clad in light purple armor emerged from the radiance and deftly split the magic projectile into two.
Then, the swordsman charged forward and attacked Calvin Lucifer together with Dark Magician.
"Buster Blader's pure physical attack should be able to deal with him better."
The formidable cooperation of the two Seven-Star Summoning Beasts was incredibly impressive, pushing Calvin Lucifer into a state of panic as he struggled to keep up.
The Wolf's Howl Cannon in his hand fired out different magic power beams, but Dark Magician dodged them one by one. The blade in Buster Blader's hand was so powerful that Calvin Lucifer did not dare to let his cloak kiss the blade. He could only dodge in a sorry state. Fortunately, his boots were powerful, otherwise, he would have been stabbed long ago.
But he was still forced into a sorry state.
Calvin Lucifer understood this principle, so he was not stingy with his counterattack.
The wolf head in his left hand had already been prepared for a long time. When Buster Blader slashed again, he aimed at it and activated the 'Wolf's Howl Cannon' with all his strength.
At this time, it was already impossible for Buster Blader to withdraw his saber to defend, so he could only continue to hack down.
The mighty barrage of attacks and the clash of the Dragon Slayer Swords made the outcome seem trivial and insignificant.
The bombardment was split open, whistling past Buster Blader's two sides.
That broadsword ruthlessly struck Calvin Lucifer, but the blade was stuck in his clothes, only sending him flying.
Although the power of the blade had decreased after splitting the Wolf's Howl Cannon, the defensive power of that piece of clothing could be seen.
"I knew it wasn't that simple. Just say it. What other equipment do you have?"
"I can't remember this question clearly."
"It doesn't matter. The battle is about to end anyway! Magic Card - Polymerization."
Calvin held a card between his hands, and as soon as he finished speaking, it emitted a dazzling light. The Dark Magician and Buster Blader merged within the light, giving rise to a brand new summoning creature.
"Experience the power of the fusion between the Twin Seven-Star Summoners! Behold the might of the Super Magic Swordsman, Dark Paladin!"
"I knew you would try to fuse. Oscillation Requiem!" Calvin Lucifer remained calm and composed. He collided with the two Lacrimas on his back, causing a strange vibration to emanate from them. The nearly completed fusion of the Dark Paladin reverted into the Dark Magician and Buster Blader.
"It broke apart the fusion?" Calvin was shocked, but there was nothing he could do. He could only let the fusion break off.
"Knowing that you summoned both the Dark Magician and the Buster Blader, I knew you had a fusion in mind. What a pity." Calvin Luxifa smirked confidently. In the next moment, the dragon head on his right hand transformed, extending armor similar to the wolf head on his left hand. The dragon's head moved to the position of his forearm, and a sword made of magical constructs shot out from the dragon's mouth.
"What's going on? Even if he knew about my information from Mystogan, I have never used the fusion between Dark Magician and Buster Blader. No one in this world should know about it! "
While Calvin was still in shock, Calvin Lucifer had already rushed towards Buster Blader. He quickly stabbed Buster Blader with his magic sword.
Calvin Lucifer was not good at hand-to-hand combat. With such a simple attack, Buster Blader merely used his saber to block the trajectory of the magic sword.
However, the level of the magic sword was beyond Calvin's expectations. The magic sword pierced through Buster Blader's saber and pierced into its body.
This undoubtedly frightened Calvin, but when he saw that the tip of the sword had only pierced a little, he heaved a sigh of relief.
"You relaxed too soon. Sword of Dispelling Magic!" Calvin Luxifa grinned mysteriously, and the Dragon Slayer Swordsman dissipated into foam, vanishing without a trace.
"This sword?!"
"These summoned beasts are essentially just aggregations of magic. This sword has the same ability as my gauntlet—it can absorb magic. You let your guard down, Calvin Makarov." Calvin Lucifer raised the sword and swung it downwards, unleashing a terrifyingly powerful slash that flew toward Calvin.
Calvin coldly used a Magic Card. In the next moment, two colorful cylinders appeared out of thin air.
"Magic Card - Magic cylinder!"
One of the holes in the magic tube sucked in a huge slash, while the other one shot out again. However, Calvin Lucifer only gently waved the sword, and the slash was sucked into the sword again.
"What an unpleasant sword!" Calvin said indifferently. The more dangerous it was, the calmer he became.
"That Magic Cylinder of yours is not bad either. I wonder if you can summon the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. I used to be quite fond of that card."
Calvin Lucifer's words made Calvin's eyebrows jump. Suddenly, he understood a lot of things.
"So, you're also from that azure planet, huh?" Calvin's tone was calm, but the beads of cold sweat dripping down betrayed his true thoughts.
"This is not exactly the right moment for a family reunion, I suppose. It's a pity we can't sit down and have a drink together, a proper chat," Calvin Lucifer replied with a faint tone of mockery.
