"Hmm..."
Hearing this, Chen Fan and the others frowned, a bad feeling rising in their hearts. They no longer wanted to joke around and quickened their pace toward Fairy Tail. They stopped not far from the guild and saw that the Fairy Tail building had been pierced by several giant iron spikes.
"What happened?!" Natsu yelled and ran toward Fairy Tail's main entrance. Erza, Lucy, and Gray followed him.
Only Chen Fan stood still, his face constantly changing, sometimes ferocious, sometimes full of sadness. A terrifying aura emanated from his body.
Natsu and the others, who were still running toward the guild, also felt this terrifying aura. They all stopped and looked back. The people inside the guild also felt it and ran outside, staring in fear at the head-down Chen Fan.
Soon, the ground began to tremble, as if the end of the world was coming. The ordinary people nearby began to scream and run in all directions.
Some of the Fairy Tail members couldn't withstand the pressure and fell to their knees. Makarov looked at Chen Fan with a serious expression.
At this moment, Chen Fan was mumbling something in a low voice. If someone listened carefully, they would hear, "The Fairy Tail guild is destroyed. I haven't changed anything. My home, the place where I've lived for ten years, is destroyed. I haven't changed anything. I haven't changed anything..."
"Roar!!!!"
Suddenly, Chen Fan roared at the sky. The ground under his feet began to crack outwards, little by little, from where he stood. The white clouds in the sky also began to move irregularly toward the sky above Chen Fan, gradually turning into dark storm clouds. Flashes of lightning occasionally struck the storm clouds.
And the Fairy Tail members who had barely been standing all collapsed to the ground. The only ones still standing were Erza, Natsu, and Gray, though they were barely on their feet. Only Makarov could stand steadily, but the expression on his face was becoming increasingly serious.
Suddenly, Chen Fan stopped roaring and looked toward Makarov and the others.
All the Fairy Tail members felt a tremor in their hearts. What kind of eyes were those? Dark with a hint of crimson, calm with a touch of madness.
"Tell me... who... did it?"
He only opened his mouth lightly, but his voice boomed like thunder in their ears.
"It was Phantom Lord," Makarov said.
"I'll kill them," Chen Fan said. A cold wind blew, and everyone's hearts grew cold.
"No! You can't go!" Makarov said sternly.
"You can try and stop me." Chen Fan turned and walked away.
"Roar..." Makarov's fist suddenly became very large, and he swung it toward Chen Fan.
"Ah...!" Guild members exclaimed in shock.
"Bang...!" A cloud of dust rose, and after the wind blew away, everyone's eyes widened, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Chen Fan stood with his back to Makarov, his open hand holding Makarov's clenched fist.
Seeing that Chen Fan could hold the fist with just one hand, Makarov broke free and began punching Chen Fan repeatedly.
"Bang, bang!" Even the earth seemed to tremble.
Natsu, Gray, and Erza clenched their fists in excitement, never having imagined Chen Fan was this strong. The other guild members were also very excited.
Makarov had rarely made a move over the years, because no one in the guild was worthy of his action, not even Laxus.
Suddenly, Makarov got carried away and his whole body became gigantic. He swung his huge fist down at Chen Fan's head from above.
"Bang..." A huge sound rang out, and Makarov was sent flying backward.
Everyone's eyes widened, as if they had seen God. Makarov was an invincible figure in their hearts, and they never expected Chen Fan could send him flying.
"Bang!!!" The earth trembled, and Makarov fell to the ground, his body gradually shrinking.
Chen Fan's emotions also stabilized. His eyes returned to black, and he withdrew his immense pressure.
Suddenly, Mira's anxious voice rang out, "Master! Master! What's wrong with you?!"
Everyone looked at Makarov, only to see him lying on the ground, unconscious. They all gathered around him.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! What's wrong with you?!" Natsu anxiously nudged Makarov.
"Chen Fan, come here! See what's wrong with the Master, sob sob!" Mira's voice came out crying.
Chen Fan quickly broke through the crowd and ran over.
"Get away! You're the one who caused the Master to be like this!" Natsu grabbed Chen Fan's collar and yelled at him.
"Don't be like that, Natsu! Right now, only Chen Fan can save the Master," the people around them persuaded.
Chen Fan ignored Natsu, felt Makarov's pulse, and sensed his weak heartbeat.
"What happened to the Master?" Someone asked Mira.
