Nirvana's Seal Is Broken

"Now!"

Seeing that Hotai was focused on fighting Jura and had no time to Hoteye, Natsu seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"The Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"ICE MAKE! Ice Cannon!"

"ICE MAKE! Ice Tiger!"

"Strength Perfume! Man!"

Natsu took a deep breath and exhaled a scorching dragon breath. Gray and Lyon, in perfect unison, simultaneously condensed their magical energy into a form.

One night, he stuffed the perfume directly into his nose and took a deep breath.

Four incredibly powerful attacks, coming from four completely different directions, struck Hoteye simultaneously.

"What?!"

Hoteye was focused on maintaining the magical counter-attack against Jura and had no time to defend against the sudden four attacks. For the first time, a look of horror appeared on his face.

"Boom--!"

Amidst the deafening explosion, flames and frost intertwined, and a powerful torrent of magic instantly engulfed Hoteye.

His body, like a kite with a broken string, traced a pathetic arc in the air, crashing into several towering trees before finally falling heavily to the ground, completely incapacitated.

"Huff... huff..."

Natsu was panting heavily, but his face was beaming with excitement.

"Finally... one of them is taken care of!"

"Man!"

Then, Ye Yi walked up with elegant steps, took out his signature perfume from his pocket, and sprayed it into the air a few times.

"See that? This is the perfect victory of the combined attack of love and friendship!"

On the other side, Midnight, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Erza, suddenly stopped moving.

Was Hoteye also defeated?

In order to maintain the stability of the last seal on his father, he had to go back.

"Your companions seem to be more capable than we expected," the figure in the Midnight drifted backward, distancing itself from Erza.

"However, it's too late. Our goal is about to be achieved."

After saying that, his figure vanished into thin air, as if he had never existed.

"Damn it! Don't run!"

Natsu, who had just defeated Hoteye and was on his way to provide support, roared angrily upon seeing this scene.

Erza, panting heavily, knelt on the ground, leaning on her sword. Her armor was covered with strange, twisted cracks.

"This person... is incredibly strong," she said, still shaken.

Inside a giant ancient tree, Brain, the leader of the Oración Seis, sat cross-legged. Of the six black markings on his body that represented the seal, only the last two remained.

The figure in the Midnight appeared silently before him.

"It seems you're the only one left, my son, Midnight." Brain slowly opened his eyes.

"Father," the voice in the Midnight was as languid as ever.

"What's the status of the seal on Nirvana?"

"Hahaha... you've come at just the right time!"

Brain stood up with a maniacal laugh, and the last seal on his body shattered and vanished!

"The seal has finally been completely broken!"

As he proclaimed his fervent declaration, the entire earth began to tremble violently. The enormous ancient tree split open from within, and a towering black pillar of light shot into the sky, darkening the entire night sky!

The group, who were resting in various parts of the forest, all saw this ominous light.

Lucy, who had just regained some of her magic, stared palely at the pillar of light. "That... could that be...?"

Erza's expression was extremely solemn as she said, word by word, "It should be right, Nirvana!"

The towering black beam of light naturally caught the attention of Jiang Bai, Wendy, and Carla.

From that pillar of light, an Ancient Magic weapon, so enormous it defies description and resembling a mobile city, slowly rose from the ground.

Six enormous legs supported its massive body, and every step it took made the earth tremble.

"Wow... so big!" Wendy tilted her head back, her mouth agape in an "O" shape, her eyes filled with shock.

"What a joke!" Carla's voice trembled slightly.

"How could this possibly be solved?!"

Inside Nirvana, Brain spread his arms wide, laughing maniacally, "Haha! Nirvana has finally started! First, let's turn that monster into one of ours!"

"Damn it! Is that Nirvana?!"

Seeing this from afar, Natsu, without saying a word, had Happy carry him into the sky.

"Happy, fly me there, I'm going to burn it through!"

"Ai!"

However, the instant Natsu's feet touched the massive surface of Nirvana, a familiar yet intense feeling of dizziness washed over him.

"Ugh~" Natsu's face instantly turned green. He collapsed to the ground, dry heaving in pain.

"This thing... is actually a means of transportation!"

Brain completely ignored the tiny insect that flew up; he had already used the magic crystal of Nirvana to lock onto the greatest threat in the distance.

"Is that the man, Jiang Bai...? Let's get rid of you, the biggest obstacle, first!"

At the front of Nirvana, a massive cannon barrel began to gather astonishing magical power, and a black energy sphere rapidly took shape, its target pointing directly in the direction of Jiang Bai.

"Oh no! He's about to attack!"

When Erza and the others saw this, they all used their strongest magic to try to stop it.

"Heavenly Wheel - The Blazing Sword!"

"ICE MAKE! Ice Cannon!"

Countless sword lights and ice projectiles bombarded Nirvana's legs, but only caused a ripple, leaving not even a scratch.

Only Erza's attack managed to leave a shallow sword mark on it, but the wound was quickly covered by a black magical power and healed in an instant.

"Brother Jiang Bai, it's already targeting us! Let's get out of here quickly!"

Wendy felt the suffocating magical energy surging through her and fearfully tugged at Jiang Bai's sleeve.

"Why leave?" Jiang Bai smiled, his eyes showing not fear but a hint of excitement.

"Why not just destroy it?"

It has to be said that the members of the Fairy Tail guild seem to have a deep-seated desire for destruction.

Jiang Bai usually hid his true feelings very well, but seeing the enormous target in front of him, he couldn't help but get excited.

He took a step forward, slowly raised his hand, and pointed his index finger at the massive cannon muzzle of Nirvana, which was already fully charged.

"Water chestnut!"

An inconspicuous black beam of light, seemingly capable of absorbing all light, flashed from his fingertip and shot straight toward Nirvana with a speed that surpassed everyone's reaction.

There was no Heavenly Movement explosion, nor any devastating force.

The black beam of light struck Nirvana's cannon muzzle silently.

Then, the massive turret, forged from hard magical metal, was annihilated and erased from the center, like a picture wiped away by an eraser, leaving a huge, smooth, circular gap.

However, Nirvana's defensive capabilities were indeed astonishing. Jiang Bai's "Zi," which was powerful enough to instantly kill Racer and Cobra, failed to completely penetrate its thick armor.

(Racer, Cobra: Are we units of measurement?)

Meanwhile, Xiang and the others, witnessing the terrifying destructive power of Jiang Bai's attack and recalling their own helplessness in not being able to inflict even the slightest damage, couldn't help but exclaim, "So... the difference in skill really is that great!"
