Chapter 430: Evergreen
"Summon, Murk Wolves!"
Two pairs of Murk Wolves emerged inside the guild, sprinting toward the stage and sniffing around for a scent.
Warren could’ve used his own magic to track people, but Rhodes had called out the wolves just in case. A good tracker never hurts in a mission like this.
"Let the wolves lead you to your targets. And here, take these." Rhodes held out two pairs of sunglasses, handing them to Gray and Elfman.
"I’ve heard the Thunder God Tribe has more than just powerful elemental magic. Some of their spells are cast through eye contact. You’ll need protection."
Magic that works through the eyes can be especially dangerous, just like Evergreen’s petrifying gaze, which had even turned Erza into stone.
But the good thing about eye-based magic? A simple pair of glasses could block it. When Evergreen attacked Lucy earlier, she’d even had to lift her glasses to cast the spell.
Rhode had prepared these sunglasses last winter during a snowy mission with Erza, originally to prevent snow blindness. He hadn’t expected they’d come in handy like this.
"I’m heading out first," Elfman said, slipping on the glasses and hopping onto the back of one of the Murk Wolves. "Real men charge in!" he shouted, riding off as the trio of wolves bolted out of the guild.
Gray glanced at the sunglasses and waved Rhode off. "I’ll pass. Fried’s eye magic is different from the others. If I need glasses, I’ll just make a pair myself."
Laki asked, "Then what about us?"
