The sky, which had been swirling like a vortex, suddenly came to a complete stop without any warning, even the center of the vortex becoming fixed, with the light inside gradually fading away at a visible speed.

Seeing this, Noah, who had just been thinking about whether he should leave, was stunned on the spot.

“Whoosh——!”

Under Noah’s gaze, a fierce wind suddenly swept through the giant vortex in the sky, as if blowing down from a place higher than the sky, or more accurately, from above the clouds, disrupting the vortex-like black clouds.

Staring blankly at this scene, and at the chaotic sky, Noah was bewildered.

Although, to adapt to life as quickly as possible, Noah, who had just been adopted by Makarov, had worked extremely hard to learn the culture and knowledge of this world, not only mastering all the characters in just two or three months but also learning a lot about the magical world.

However, such a development had already exceeded Noah’s understanding, which was why he was bewildered.

However, the bewilderment only lasted for a short while.

After a moment, Noah noticed something.

The fierce wind that had disrupted the vortex-like sky seemed to be blowing down from a place higher than the clouds, but under Noah’s excellent sensing ability, the true force driving this wind became apparent.

In Noah’s perception, the force that had disrupted the vortex-like sky was a surge of magical power rising from the ground.

Clearly, this was a human-caused situation!

Moreover, the source of the magical power was not elsewhere but deep in this forest, not far from Noah!

Realizing this, Noah immediately directed his gaze toward the place where the magical power was surging, his eyes beginning to flicker.

Should I go and check it out?

“Noah-niisan…” Wendy, who had been in Noah’s arms, seemed to have recovered from her fear, tugged at Noah’s clothes, her big, watery eyes staring straight at Noah’s face, pointing at the sky.

“The sky, the air, everything has become so strange and chaotic…”

Hearing this, Noah looked down in surprise, meeting Wendy’s gaze.

“You can sense the state of the sky and the air?”

“Mm-hmm!” Wendy did not hide anything, nodding directly.

“I am a Sky Dragon Slayer!”

Noah finally understood.

‘Dragon Slayer Magic’ is a powerful magic that transforms the user’s body into a dragon’s body to counter and slay dragons.

However, ‘Dragon Slayer Magic’ is not just a single type but a whole series, like the entire magic system.

For example, Natsu is a Fire Dragon Slayer, using Fire ‘Dragon Slayer Magic,’ making him like a fire dragon, with not only immense destructive power but also the ability to restore magic and physical strength by consuming fire.

Wendy is a Sky Dragon Slayer, using Sky ‘Dragon Slayer Magic’ without a doubt.

Therefore, it was not strange that Wendy could sense the state of the sky and the air.

Lifting his head, Noah looked at the vortex that had completely disappeared and the sky gradually returning to its original calmness, then glanced at the source of the magical power that was still present in the depths of the forest, pondering for a moment before standing up.

“Wendy.” Putting Wendy down from his arms, Noah pointed toward the almost vanished source of the magical power and said,

“I plan to go and check it out.”

“I’ll go with you!” Wendy said without hesitation, tightly grabbing the corner of Noah’s clothes, almost on the verge of tears.

“Noah-niisan, don’t leave me alone!”

“Alright, alright!” Noah could only laugh bitterly and compromise, taking Wendy’s hand.

“Don’t worry, I won’t leave you alone!”

“Mm-hmm!” Wendy finally broke into a smile.

……

Holding Wendy’s hand and following his senses, Noah tried to minimize his footsteps as he slowly approached the location where the magical power that had disrupted the vortex-like sky had completely disappeared.

The darkness around them obscured most of Noah and Wendy’s vision, and the low growls of wild beasts could be heard in the trees and bushes, but Noah walked resolutely toward the source of the magical power, while Wendy hid behind him, her face full of fear.

Before long, the two arrived at a vast open area.

The magical power that had disrupted the vortex-like sky had originated from here!

Now, that magical power had disappeared.

However, Noah clearly sensed that an entity with the same origin as that magical power was still present in the open area, not having vanished!

In the center of the vast open area, a figure roughly the same size as Noah stood with its back to Noah and Wendy.

Wendy almost hid her small body entirely behind Noah, only poking her head out, her hands gripping Noah’s clothes and hand tighter, seemingly becoming more nervous.

Noah, on the other hand, fully utilized his ability to control his emotions, becoming even calmer at this moment, and led Wendy into the open area.

Only after entering the open area did Noah clearly see the figure in the center.

It was indeed a figure roughly the same size as Noah.

Moreover, the figure had short, deep blue hair similar to Wendy’s.

However, from the figure’s back, it was clear that the person was a boy.

From this boy, Noah sensed the magical power he had detected earlier.

Needless to say, the magical power that had disrupted the vortex-like sky was the work of this person!

“Noah-niisan…” Wendy, hiding behind Noah, tugged at Noah’s hand, very nervous and afraid.

Noah stopped, not turning to look at Wendy but staring intently at the figure in front, speaking in a deep voice.

“Who are you?”

“……” The figure, with its back to Noah and Wendy, slowly lifted its head and turned around, revealing its face to Noah and Wendy.

Seeing the face revealed before him, Noah was momentarily speechless, and Wendy shuddered, becoming even more afraid.

This was because, on the right side of the figure’s face, there was a fierce tattoo extending from the eye socket to the cheek, resembling a devil’s eye.

If this had been during the day, it might have been less alarming, but now, in the darkness and the eerie atmosphere, the tattoo looked quite sinister, making one feel very uncomfortable.

Noah instinctively shielded Wendy behind him, his other hand gripping the cloth bag tightly, his voice becoming colder.

“Who are you?”

The second question still received no response.

However, Noah and Wendy were stunned.

“Thud…”

The boy with the tattoo suddenly went limp and fell to the ground, not moving an inch.

“Ah…” Wendy let out a small cry of surprise, and even Noah frowned.

The scene suddenly became eerily quiet.

“Noah-niisan…” Wendy poked her head out from behind Noah, her young voice full of confusion.

“Is that person not feeling well?”

“It’s because I don’t know if they are that I’m a bit troubled,” Noah said with a helpless smile.

“I’ll go and check. Wendy, wait here for a moment!”

Wendy hesitated but understood that Noah was protecting her. Although she was reluctant, she obediently nodded, letting go of Noah and hiding behind a nearby tree.

Noah then walked toward the fallen boy, knelt down beside him, and reached out to check his condition.

The boy on the ground was breathing heavily, his face not looking good, and he seemed to be in some pain, but his eyelids were not twitching.

This state made it easy for Noah to determine what had happened.

“Overused magic, so he passed out, right?”

Noah pondered for a moment, then seemed to make a decision, helping the boy up.

“Wendy, you live here, so you should know where there are caves or similar places, right?”

Wendy was stunned.
