Chen Fan raised his foot and kicked it. "Boom...!" The door flew inside. After entering, he saw Jose sitting in a chair, watching Chen Fan walk in step by step, a faint smile on his lips.
Lucy was lying not far from Jose, and behind Lucy, a man was standing. Lucy also seemed to have been startled awake by the loud noise, especially because Jose had dispelled the sleeping magic he had used on her, wanting to distract Chen Fan. Seeing Chen Fan arrive, Lucy's expression was anxious, but her mouth was gagged, so she couldn't make a sound.
"I'm here, Sir Jose. Shall we continue our previous topic? What if we lose?" Chen Fan saw Lucy tied up, and his eyebrow twitched. He turned his head and said to Jose.
"Hahaha, Hand of God, you are indeed interesting. If you lose, of course, Fairy Tail will be completely wiped out. Do it!" As Jose yelled, a magic circle appeared on the hand of the man behind Lucy, as if he was about to attack Lucy.
Immediately after, a large figure appeared silently behind Chen Fan, wearing a large green hat and cloak, with several pieces of white cloth covering his eyes, constantly dripping tears. It was Aria, 'Sky' of the Four Elements.
Lucy, seeing this from the side, became even more anxious, making "woo woo" sounds and squirming like a caterpillar.
"So, so pathetic!"
As Aria, 'Sky', finished speaking, a flash of golden light enveloped Chen Fan.
"Haha, hahaha! Hand of God, you're finally finished, aren't you? I've long heard that old coot Makarov's body is frail, and it seems you even made him angry. Ahaha! Hahaha!" As Chen Fan was enveloped in the golden light, Jose laughed hysterically. It seemed Chen Fan's previous actions had truly frightened him.
Suddenly, a voice rang out. "I wonder why Sir Jose is so happy? Did something good happen? Why didn't you tell me so we could all be happy together?"
"Gah!" Jose's laughter stopped abruptly, and the muscles on his face twitched slightly.
The light slowly dissipated, revealing Chen Fan standing unharmed, with a professional smile on his face.
"Aria, what happened?!" Jose yelled loudly at Aria, 'Sky'.
"I don't know either. He seems to have no magic at all, just like an ordinary person," Aria said to Jose, sounding confused.
"How is that possible?! I clearly saw him deflect the magic shot by the Magic Cannon!" Jose yelled.
Ignoring the furious Jose, Chen Fan twisted his body slightly, his eyes glancing toward Aria. "You... Aria, 'Sky'?"
"Whoosh..." Seeing Chen Fan turn around, Aria instinctively jumped back a few steps. When he realized Chen Fan was just looking at him with a mocking gaze, Aria's face flushed slightly. But seeing Chen Fan's sneering eyes, Aria became enraged. How many years had it been since anyone had looked at him with such a contemptuous look?
"Whoosh...!" Aria ripped the white cloth from his eyes, revealing pale purple eyes that had the same '×' symbol as the whites of his eyes. After opening his eyes, a powerful wave of magic rose, and a huge whirlpool erupted from his body, the sound of a storm roaring filling the entire room.
"Hahaha, Hand of God, you're finished! I cover my eyes with this white cloth to seal my powerful magic. Now, I will show you my horror! Come, Hand of God! Death Sky, Zero, activate! This sky will devour all life! Enjoy it, hahaha!" Aria laughed crazily.
A gust of wind wrapped around Chen Fan.
"Ignorance... so pathetic!" Chen Fan said lightly, looking at Aria, and stretched his right hand toward the storm.
".....!"
The storm was muffled and reversed its direction. "How is this possible, ahhh...!" Aria's scream was heard, his body spinning. As the whirlpool of the storm shrank, he finally vanished from this world.
Lucy and Jose stared blankly at everything that had happened.
"Whoosh..." Chen Fan instantly appeared beside Lucy, and the person standing next to her was kicked flying by Chen Fan.
"Boom...!" The sound of the man hitting the wall was heard, and only then did Lucy and Jose come back to their senses. Lucy was even more surprised to find that the ropes on her body had already been untied by Chen Fan.
"You go first," Chen Fan said to Lucy.
"None of you are getting away! You destroyed my life's work, and you think you can just leave? Phantom Soldier!" Purple-black magic enveloped Jose's entire body, giving off an aura of death. Two purple-black magic circles lit up in his hands, and countless Phantom Soldiers poured out from the magic circles, charging toward Fairy Tail. Instantly, the chaos outside began, along with the sound of magic explosions.
Chen Fan turned around, looking at Jose with disdain. He took a coin from his pocket, raised his hand, and aimed it at Jose. Suddenly, a hand came to rest on Chen Fan's arm.
Chen Fan turned his head, looking at Makarov in confusion. Yes, the person who had appeared was the Master of Fairy Tail, Makarov, who had been secretly following Chen Fan.
"Kid, leave him to me. I have some questions for him. You take Lucy back to the guild and help the others," Makarov said to Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked at Makarov's body with a little concern, but Makarov wasn't looking at him, only staring at Jose. Veins were protruding on his forehead; it seemed he had been holding back for so long.
"Alright, old man." After saying so, he walked to Lucy's side. "Ah...!" Amidst Lucy's scream, he picked her up, a little flustered.
"Be quiet, don't scream! I'm not molesting you, I'm just taking you back. Otherwise, you can go back by yourself," Chen Fan snapped at Lucy.
Perhaps because of Chen Fan's dominant aura, Lucy obediently lay in his arms, her face a little red. In truth, Chen Fan was also very nervous; this was the first time he had ever carried a girl.
"Whoosh..." Two whirlpools appeared under his feet, and Chen Fan, carrying Lucy, flew toward Fairy Tail.
Suddenly, a "Click, click" sound echoed, and the smiles on everyone's faces froze. They mechanically turned toward Phantom Lord, only to see magic circles of various sizes appear all over their moving guild.
Soon, the Phantom Lord guild began to move, gradually forming into a gigantic shape.
"W-what is this?!" Macao stuttered, his eyes wide, clearly showing his shock. Everyone, like Macao, stared at the Magic Giant in surprise.
"A Magic Giant," Chen Fan replied to Macao.
He knew that Phantom Lord wouldn't be destroyed so easily. The most terrifying thing wasn't the Magic Giant; they were too focused on the moving guild and had forgotten that Jose inside was the strongest.
"How dangerous, how dangerous! I almost thought I was going to die. I didn't expect you could deflect magic," Jose's voice came again from the guild, his tone a little mocking.
Chen Fan frowned, recalling some unpleasant memories. He didn't know why these villains always talked nonsense at times like this. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a coin. He aimed it at the Magic Giant's head. Everyone looked at Chen Fan with a bit of surprise, wondering what he was doing with a coin at this moment. Was he planning to bribe Phantom Lord with money? Chen Fan really had that ability.
While everyone was still guessing, Jose, however, felt a strong sense of danger, making sweat drip down his back.
