After ten minutes on the way, a couple of wizards were unable to find anything special. Aidan could smell several animals, but he didn't even smell like people. He already began to seriously suspect that this task was some kind of trap. Although, he also did not understand its meaning - why would the Skull Dynasty need to lure out the senior wizard and declare war on the whole guild? Where there is no benefit, they usually do not appear. This guild was notorious for its methods. They only killed people on request. This is definitely not their style.

- Hey, take your time! - suddenly cried out Mira. Aidan turned and noticed how the girl, with obvious irritation, straightened her giant backpack and, with heavy breathing, moved in his direction. All this way she was very tired and as a result, her mood was not so hot.

Smiling slightly, the guy held out his hand:

- Give me your bag.

- What for?

- Do you have to argue here too?

- I wasn't going to! - Mira snorted and held out her dark bag.

Aidan threw it over his free shoulder and nodded.

- Come on.

"And you have to show off like that?" - looking at his back, the girl pouted with displeasure:

"I would have done it myself, hmm ..."

Half an hour later, Aidan stopped abruptly. Mira has long tried to stay close and keep up. Even though she tried to sound bold, everything became clear from her tense expression on her face. Surrounded on all sides by deep fog, even the bravest person will start to get nervous. This path had already been going on for so long, but this nebula was only getting deeper and from this the world was constantly darkening. Not a single sound, only occasionally audible rustles in the bushes and the croaking of creepy crows brightened up the gloomy atmosphere.

- What? - Mira asked nervously: - Did you find something?- Mm, - the guy nodded slowly: - Skull Dynasty ... It looks like we were not deceived. Five strong life auras within a few hundred meters for nine hours. There are still people there, but they are weak.

- Can you feel them? Whoa ...

Aidan nodded and turned.

"From this distance I can only feel their vitality. Magic changes people, this applies to the whole organism. I can only determine the approximate level of strength. If we get closer, I can feel their magic and understand more. If they touch grass and trees, I can even understand part of their mood ... But, this is unlikely.

Mira quickly nodded and the two began to move in the chosen direction.

Mavis taught Aidan many useful things. First of all, she gave him a lot of knowledge about magic in general, and also helped him master Sensory. Of course, this skill was not as useful for him as the ability to feel the vitality. But on the other hand, he also had his own plus. Thanks to this ability, you can at least understand the strength of the enemy. Still, vitality is not always a correct indicator. With very old sorcerers or mental projections, this is all ambiguous. However, like the Dragon Slayers, their vitality also differs to a large extent. Moreover, Igneel and Grandina are hiding in Natsu and Wendy, so every time Aidan tried to sense their inner self, everything became too vague.

At one time, Mavis completely lost her vitality, but her magic somehow managed to keep her alive, even without her. The magic of Anxelam, Zeref's act, together with Precht's magical experiences, influenced her entire future destiny. Therefore, its projection had unique properties and did not have any traces of vitality at all. In fact, Aidan barely sensed her presence due to her underdeveloped sensory skills. Any magician with good talent could develop this skill, the main thing is to find a good teacher.

A few minutes later, Mira and Aidan made their way to the most foggy area. The guy raised his hand sharply and said:

- They are not that strong, but for you ... - looking around Mira in this thick fog, he asked:

- Are you sure? I can deal with them, but for you, even the weakest of them is not an easy goal.

Mira was clearly angry and was about to swear, but the guy laughed sharply:

- Okay, okay, don't make that face. If you want, let's go. But, I warned you!

Moving forward, Aidan abruptly stepped into an empty area. The fog completely disappeared, and he turned in surprise. The snow-white curtain, like a wall, was behind.- Hmm? - looking around, the wizard noticed a pillar with white lacrima and several magical runes on the ground.

"That's it ... They just built their base in such a remote place and even managed to hold back the fog" - turning his gaze to the heavens, Aidan nodded thoughtfully.

Mira followed her out and cried out in surprise:

- Heaven! - She immediately looked up. There really was no fog, it was already evening, but the clear sky full of clouds was still perfectly visible. For some reason, the fog didn't get there either! Finally, the sorceress then paid close attention to her surroundings.

Meanwhile, Aidan decided to move on. This wasteland did not interest him, but the building surrounded by dead trees, resembling a kind of green skull covered with moss, attracted him immediately.

"The true refuge of the Dark Mages is straight. I even like these guys "- moving forward he calmly thought:

- Five, ten, thirteen ... Not much. The six main ones are underground, and the rest are upstairs. Weaklings, probably some kind of servants, there are a couple of stronger ants, but ... The strongest is old, I missed him, the rest are clearly younger, but inferior to him, probably the Guild Master. It's funny, I thought they had only three talents, but there are six strong people. Even for me it might not be so bad ... "Aidan stopped abruptly. Mirajane ran right in front of him and burst into the Skull Dynasty with a furious yell!

- This girl ... Well, right now it will start ... - grinning wryly, he began to observe the development of the situation:

- Hmm, if you think so, the task is to destroy the entire guild ...

While the wizard was thinking, Mira was already crushing the headquarters of the Skull Dynasty with might and main. She acted uncontrollably and ruthlessly!

- Aaaa!

- What the hell is this demon ?!

- Yeah! Help!

Blood flew in all directions, screams and panic flooded the building. Mira walked over their heads and, turning into its strongest form, the Soul of Satan, released beams of energy and simply burned everyone with her power! Whoever managed to get closer to the girl, he collided with her razor claws. Even Aidan was secretly surprised by this sudden brutality, in the past he had not noticed this ...

All this did not last long, with the strength of Mirajane it took her only a few seconds to kill most of the weaklings. It was then that Aidan crept up to the guild gate and breathed out a long breath:

- Let's start.
