Chapter 489: Kill Wendy and Natsu!
"The magic crystal was transported from another floating island. Its approximate location is..." Jamie paused, tilting his head thoughtfully. "That entire crystal is about the size of an island. In two days, they’re scheduled to begin extracting magic power from it."

Hearing this, Rhodes fell silent for a moment.
If he wanted to mark this location on a map, he’d need to note its altitude, not just coordinates. But that made sense, this was Edolas, where most of the population lived on floating islands. Maps here probably needed to be three-dimensional by default.
"To rescue our companions," Rhodes muttered, "we have to go to that floating island."
There was no need to overthink it. That island was clearly a core facility, it would be heavily guarded.
Flying the ship directly into that place would be walking into a trap.
Worse still, Gemi had mentioned the Edolas Royal Army had a specialized Legion Unit that handled aerial combat.
Even if their mounts weren’t as massive as the Dragonos, they were still formidable, at least large enough to be real trouble. And there were a lot of them.
Rhode’s current monsters, just a few wolves and wraiths, wouldn’t stand a chance in a full-scale aerial clash.
He closed his eyes, thinking fast. "Before tonight, we need to find a hidden place to land. I want to test an idea, see if I can restore the magic crystal’s power. If it works, we’ll figure out a way to reach the main crystal after that."
As for returning to earth Land...
That would depend on Gemini. They’d need to infiltrate the royal capital and "touch" some high-ranking officials to get reliable intel.
