"Hoo..."
Natsu launched another punch. Cobra barely dodged it.
"You're forgetful!"
"Damn it, why can't I hit him?!" Natsu was frustrated.
"Does he have magic that can see your movements?" Happy asked.
"No, it's 'listening' magic," Cobra answered for the umpteenth time. "Because I can hear your thoughts."
"Then, listen to this!" Happy yelled at Cobra.
Cobra smiled. "I know you like to eat fish."
"I was just thinking about eating fish! You really heard it!" Happy yelled.
"Haha, is that so? Now it's my turn," Natsu said excitedly.
"Are you treating my magic like a monkey?!" Cobra yelled. He tried to listen to Natsu's thoughts, then burst out laughing. "Damn, your ideas are so funny!"
"Ha, you can hear them? Then, can you hear Chen Fan's heart?" Natsu asked.
Cobra's face froze. His smile disappeared. "Brian must be impatient. I'm not playing around anymore," he said.
But Natsu and Happy had already gotten the answer they wanted. They grinned.
"It's about to begin!"
"Ayee!"
Natsu charged at Cobra. Cobra was too busy listening to Natsu's thoughts, so he reacted too late. He was hit multiple times. Finally, he used his huge snake to stabilize himself and withstand Natsu's punches.
"I don't know if you're a genius or an idiot. You don't even think when you attack. But this game has to end now," Cobra yelled.
"Creak!" A hand grabbed Natsu's burning hand. Black-red gas appeared, and purple-red scales grew on Cobra's arm. His hand turned into a claw.
"Hiss..."
A corroding sound was heard. The fire on Natsu's fist went out.
"Ah... my hand..." Natsu groaned. The back of his hand was corroded.
"What's wrong, Natsu?" Happy asked.
Happy was shocked to see what happened.
"Venomous Dragon Cobra! I'll get serious now," Cobra said.
"How is that possible? Is he... a Dragon Slayer?!" Natsu and Happy yelled.
"Swoosh!" Cobra immediately attacked Natsu. Natsu was shocked and didn't react. He was thrown, but managed to stabilize himself.
Cobra chased him, changing his fighting style. Natsu became timid, unlike his usual self who gets more excited.
"What's wrong, Natsu?!" Happy asked.
"Damn it! Every time he attacks, my body gets more numb," Natsu replied.
"I hear your pain. A punch from Dragon Cobra can make everything rot and crumble," Cobra appeared in front of Natsu, riding his huge snake.
Natsu replied, "Oh, really? Poison? Watch, I'll burn it to ashes!" He went back to Happy. "Let's go!"
"Ayee!"
Natsu's hand was on fire. He attacked Cobra. "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"
"Rot and Decay! Poison Dragon's Fang!" A red-black magic circle appeared in front of Cobra's hand. A bird's beak appeared and gripped Natsu's fist.
"BOOM!"
The two magics clashed, lighting up the sky. The light was visible from all over Nirvana.
Gray, Lucy, and Jura saw it.
"What happened?" Jura asked.
"That's Natsu. Only he can cause a commotion that big," Gray and Lucy said.
"Big Brother Chen Fan, what's happening? Natsu and the Six Demon Generals are fighting? Let's go help Natsu!" Wendy said to Chen Fan.
"Don't worry. Natsu will take care of that guy. You have to believe in him, he's your friend," Chen Fan said gently.
"Okay..." Wendy nodded. Carla seemed to be thinking about something.
Brian said, "I don't agree with Mr. Chen Fan. Humans like profit. Friends can betray for profit. Friends without profit won't last long. Therefore, friends are not as good as loyal subordinates. If..."
Chen Fan cut him off. "I know what you're going to say. But Brian, you're wrong. The human heart is hard to grasp. Everyone has a bright and a dark side. Both are relative. There is no absolute darkness or light. You know this, don't you? Why are you doing this stupid thing?"
"No, I don't know. I only know that Nirvana will give me everything I want. Cobra has the advantage now, and your friends will be killed soon," Brian yelled, as if Chen Fan had hit a nerve.
Suddenly, "ROOOOAR!"
