"Deus!" Erza tried to heal Deus even though she didn't have any power to do so.
"Go… get… kids…" Deus managed to utter.
Erza got up and rushed to where Zach's room once was, but everything was destroyed and there was no sign of Zach.
"No… no!" Erza yelled. "It can't be!"
"Don't worry, I have got them," a voice said.
Erza jerked her head to the source of the voice and saw Xie Lua carrying kid Zach and Zoe in her arms. She was flying in the air while flapping her phoenix's wings.
"I was in the market, buying gifts for Zach's birthday, and then I sensed massive energy coming here. So I rushed here as soon as possible. I hope I got here on time. Are you okay? Where is master? Is he okay?" Xie Lua asked.
Erza was still shocked by what happened, and she didn't have the courage to speak, so she pointed her finger at the injured Deus.
Xie Lua followed her gaze and spotted Dues, who was badly injured and missing body parts.
