This was shocking. Everyone in Fairy Tail and the Magic Council speculated about Chen Fan's magic. They thought he was a multi-element wizard. They thought the absence of magical fluctuations was due to the magic overlapping. It turned out it was all wrong. If people knew this, there would be chaos. This was no longer something that could be explained by magic.
"Lies! Lies! No one has an ability like that!" Midnight yelled.
"Haha! You don't believe it, do you? It's normal. I wouldn't have believed it before I had this ability. But now, I have to believe," Chen Fan said.
"You know, I'm the one who defeated Brian. Now you can also surrender!" Chen Fan stepped forward and flew toward Midnight.
Midnight extended his hand to block. Chen Fan's movements seemed slow, but when Midnight touched him, he felt an immense pain.
"BOOM!" Midnight was also thrown into a building. If Chen Fan hadn't held back, not many people could withstand a punch from Chen Fan.
"AH!" Midnight screamed in pain. All his bones ached. "How could I be defeated!" He struggled to stand up.
"Why not? I was just being merciful. If I really wanted to kill you, you wouldn't exist anymore. You know, I can even control the blood at the corner of your mouth, because blood also flows." Chen Fan said softly.
Midnight was shocked. He saw Chen Fan looking at him playfully, and he knew he had been tricked.
His face was distorted. "You will pay for this with blood! AHH!" He roared. His body grew, becoming like a demon from hell. He looked terrifying. His height kept increasing, the sky turned blood-red.
"Be afraid! Do you know why I'm called Midnight? Because in the deep night, my power multiplies many times!"
"Run! Chen Fan, his power is too great now!" Erza yelled.
Chen Fan didn't hear her. He just stood there. Erza was anxious, running toward Chen Fan to pull him away.
Midnight's giant hand fell onto Chen Fan's head. But when it touched Chen Fan's head, the world was like glass that cracked and shattered.
Erza stood there, stunned. She saw Midnight return to his human form. 'Where did that monster come from?'
"That was just an illusion. It can only work through the recipient's eyes. If combined with words, it should have worked. But your illusion, to be honest, your illusion is too weak. You need a medium. I've seen illusionists who can control all five senses without any medium at all, even the sixth sense," Chen Fan said, sighing.
"How is that possible?! My illusion magic is ineffective on you!" Midnight said with great difficulty.
"I told you, I can control vectors. Thoughts and mental strength are vectors. Illusions to me..." Chen Fan didn't continue. He remembered the damage that illusionist had done to him. He was strong back then, but he didn't have the finesse of a human. Now, he was sure he could be better.
"Anyway, your illusion is too low-level, it doesn't work on me!"
"Ahem... It's not that it's ineffective. I'm sure your magic has a fatal weakness. It needs personal contact, right? Otherwise, it won't work." Chen Fan clapped his hands.
"You are indeed my replica. You got this idea from yourself. Your magic can only be used on yourself or the enemy. But do you think my superpower is that simple?"
"How do you know?!" Midnight was horrified. That was one of his secrets.
"I don't just know. Erza knows too. Earlier, when you avoided Erza's sword, you could have used refraction magic without moving, but you moved instead. That means you can only control one of them."
"So what?! As long as you can't catch up to me, I will...!"
"Whoosh!" A laser shot past Midnight's ear. The silver light was like lightning. The air around him smelled scorched. Midnight froze, then sank to the ground. He lost consciousness.
Chen Fan came to his side. Midnight's eyes were blank. Chen Fan hit his neck, and Midnight passed out.
Erza looked at Midnight lying on the ground with sympathy. Anyone who saw a power like that for the first time would be desperate. With Chen Fan's acceleration and kinetic energy, Midnight had no time to use his refraction magic.
At that moment, the last mark on Brian's face disappeared.
An explosion was heard in the center of Nirvana.
"What happened?!" Erza asked.
Chen Fan slapped his forehead. He had forgotten there was a trap in the tower. He only remembered the general outline of Fairy Tail's victory. He no longer remembered the details.
"It seems there was an explosion in the center of Nirvana. Let's hurry there, or Natsu and the others are in danger!" Chen Fan said, spreading his hands.
"Why are you spreading your hands?" Erza asked.
"Don't you understand? I'll carry you there!"
"Why do I need to be carried, I have hands and feet?!"
"Isn't this faster? I'll carry you there," Chen Fan said.
"Then why don't you just fly over and see what's happening?" Erza didn't give Chen Fan a chance.
"I... I..." Chen Fan stammered. "I'm scared!"
Erza was speechless.
