A dragon's roar shook the sky. Everyone covered their ears. But Chen Fan immediately blocked the sound. Wendy and Carla heard nothing.
Brian covered his ears with a pained expression. "How is it possible for Cobra to be killed like that? Who is that man?" he whispered.
"Well, I'll be honest. If I wasn't here, he would be the protagonist!" Chen Fan smiled.
Natsu, who had defeated Cobra, fell. Happy had no more magic. Natsu landed not far from Chen Fan.
"Damn it, I gave it my all, and I'm still motion sick!" Natsu lay on the ground.
Cobra, who had just been defeated, came. "I will defeat you, even if I have to sacrifice the honor of the Six Demon Generals!"
"Damn it, I don't have any strength left! My body won't move!" Natsu struggled.
"I hear it, the end of your life. Disappear, old-generation Dragon Slayer!" Cobra's scaly hand glowed blood-red. He lunged it at Natsu's head.
Suddenly, green magic attacked Cobra's back. His attack was stopped. He was badly injured and fell to his knees.
"Enough, Cobra!" Brian said.
Cobra looked at Brian in disbelief. "Brian, what are you doing?" Natsu, Wendy, and Carla were also shocked.
Brian forced a smile. "You've worked well, rest." In his heart, he thought, 'Hmph! You're just a fake Dragon Slayer! I don't need a Six General who was defeated by a legal guild, you're useless trash.' Cobra heard that thought, and his body trembled.
"Oops! You heard me!"
"Damn you! Damn you!"
"Mr. Chen Fan, I apologize for letting you see this embarrassing sight. I have taken care of him."
Chen Fan waved his hand. "It's okay, but Brian, you are so cruel. Now you've lost a subordinate."
"It doesn't matter. Subordinates are..."
Natsu slapped the ground. "Damn it! You can still laugh. Is he not your friend?!"
"Friend? You can have many later, with the power of Nirvana."
"Someone like that can't be called a friend, he's just a puppet," Chen Fan said.
"Don't be petty. I admire your power. Do you understand? You will be my first puppet," Brian grinned.
"Hey, Brian, arrogance is normal, but being arrogant in front of me is a big mistake. You are a competent villain, but this person is my friend. I can't let you take him away," Chen Fan said.
"Friend? Impossible! Mr. Chen Fan has friends? That makes me sad. I thought we were the same."
Chen Fan lowered his head, moving two of his fingers. "No, no, no. We have a fundamental difference."
"Oh? What is it? Tell me."
"I am a good person, you are a bad person."
Brian's eyes narrowed. "Even though I want you to be my partner, it seems we are on different paths. Don't blame me."
"You've been cruel for a long time," Chen Fan retorted.
"Hit him, Chen Fan!" Natsu and Happy yelled. Carla and Wendy came to take care of Natsu.
"Quiet! Don't make noise! Defeating him only takes a few seconds," Chen Fan yelled at Natsu.
"I've always wanted to know what kind of power you have. Let me feel it for myself!" Brian yelled. His skull staff gathered dark magic.
"Eternal Dark Rondo!" A black-green magic ball was released.
Chen Fan's mouth curved into a grin. He waited for the attack, unconcerned.
Suddenly, the magic turned around and attacked Natsu and Wendy.
Chen Fan frowned. He hadn't expected Brian to be so cruel. "..." He stomped on the ground. The unique sound of a superpower was heard.
"BOOM!" A stone wall appeared, protecting Natsu, Wendy, and the others. The wall was destroyed. Ordinary matter had a hard time withstanding Brian's penetrating magic.
"Clap!" Brian clapped and smiled. "Amazing magic! I've been studying for years, but I can't understand your magic. Is it really magic?"
"You're right, this is not magic!" Chen Fan said. Natsu, Wendy, Happy, and Carla were shocked. This was the first time they had heard that.
"Then what is it?"
"Guess!"
Brian's face darkened. He felt Chen Fan was toying with him.
"Changan Fantasia!" Brian's magic staff released another spell. The spell spun and flew toward Chen Fan, but turned toward Natsu. "Damn it!" Natsu yelled. He wasn't helping at all, but was instead a burden.
"Tsk! You're trying to act smart," Chen Fan sneered.
He moved lightly, appearing in front of Natsu, and extended his right hand. "..." When the magic touched his right hand, it bounced off.
Brian had already moved. "BOOM!" He dodged his own magic that came back. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
Suddenly, his hand stopped. Chen Fan was kneeling in front of him, with his thumb and middle finger crooked.
"..."
"BOOM!" The surrounding buildings collapsed. A human-shaped hole appeared.
