Meanwhile, Laxus and Brain are engaged in a Midnight battle.
The cave that was originally used for hiding has long since disappeared, and the surrounding area has become a ruin, full of potholes.
After dodging one of Brain's Eternal Darkness Rhapsody Magic, Laxus raised his hand and unleashed another bolt of lightning from the sky.
"Boom!" A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, but Midnight used Distortion Magic to deflect it, causing it to strike the ground directly.
"Oh no, there are only three people left! Besides me and Midnight, who else is still fighting?"
Brain felt the sealing stripes on his body gradually disappearing, and he was completely helpless against the powerful Laxus in front of him.
He managed to stop both of them all by himself.
"Tch~" Laxus scoffed, looking at the two people in front of him with some impatience. His previous attacks had all been deflected or reflected back by that Midnight guy.
"I noticed just now that you all seemed to be paying attention to that pillar of light over there! It seems that's what you've been looking for!"
Laxus, seeing Brain somewhat distracted, was certain that this was the very thing the Oración Seis had been searching for.
"Father, I'll hold this person off. You go check over there!" Midnight stood in front of Brain, staring intently at Laxus.
"You two couldn't escape before, do you really think you can escape from me now? Don't be ridiculous!" Laxus sneered, then his body crackled with lightning, and he appeared in front of the two in a flash.
"Lightning Strike Fist" Laxus launched the first attack on Brain.
But Midnight intervened and blocked Brain's path. "It's useless, I can twist and deflect all Magic!"
"Really? But how about this!" Laxus suddenly withdrew his lightning and said in a low voice.
With a loud pop, the entire fist was covered in a layer of black substance, and the punch landed squarely on Midnight's stomach.
Midnight bent over like a shrimp, then flew backward and crashed into the ground, where it struggled to its feet amidst the craters, staring incredulously at Laxus: "Why!"
"Two! Your Magic has two flaws!"
"Firstly, your Magic is completely incompatible with human bodies; otherwise, you would have simply twisted and destroyed my body from the very beginning."
"The second point is that while you were distorting my Magic, you couldn't distort anything else at all!"
"Now I can finally be sure."
Laxus's pointed out flaws startled Brain and Midnight. Looking at Laxus's calm and composed expression, their hearts sank. It seemed that there was no chance of achieving Nirvana this time.
The two men stared at Laxus with serious expressions, while Laxus remained calm, creating an inexplicable atmosphere between them.
If someone unaware of the inside story saw this scene, they would probably think Laxus was the bad guy.
"Damn it! Everything was going so smoothly until you ruined the plan. Now I'll let you experience true terror!" Midnight slowly stood up, his Magic Power suddenly surging, and a black and red Magic Circle appeared above his head.
Midnight's body, illuminated by the Magic Circle, twisted and swelled, growing into a colossal creature in just a few seconds.
"I don't care what the consequences will be!" The Monster that Midnight had transformed into suddenly condensed a jet-black energy ball between its hands and threw it directly at Laxus.
Laxus, however, acted as if he hadn't seen anything, neither dodging nor flinching, and simply raised his hand to aim directly at the shadowy area behind Midnight.
"Thunder Pressure Torrent" - A massive amount of lightning shot down from the sky, crashing down on that area.
"Ah~" A scream rang out, and Midnight, now Monster, quickly turned around, only to find that Laxus was already behind him, his fists clenched.
The sound of thunder echoed in the Midnight air. "Lightning Dragon's Jaw" slammed its fist into the ground, causing the earth to crack open.
At Midnight, he foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground, and the surrounding environment returned to its original state.
"I am the strongest Mage, Father... I'm sorry!"
"My only wish is to sleep peacefully... in a quiet place." At Midnight, as he recalled his time in the Tower of Heaven, his consciousness gradually faded into darkness, and he fell unconscious.
"Ahem~ I didn't expect Illusion Magic to have no effect on you!"
After coughing up blood, Brain forced himself to stand up.
He didn't even notice the beam of light beside him shrinking, as if he had completely given up on the Nirvana Magic.
"Your son is quite good to you; he still took care of you at the last moment!" Laxus glanced at Midnight on the ground and began to acknowledge him to some extent.
In that split second, Midnight abandoned the distortion around himself and, before the lightning struck, slightly distorted the range of Brain's attack.
"I never expected that I couldn't seal it away in the end... Haha, that guy will eventually Living World. Let him fulfill my last hope!"
Brain watched as Midnight collapsed, and the tattoo sealing the other personality, 'Nothing,' on his body gradually disappeared. Just moments before, another Oración Seis — 'Erik the Cobra' —had also been defeated.
After Brain finished speaking, he gathered Dark Energy in his hands and struck his own chest with a palm, thus ending the life of the last of the Oración Seis.
Brain, who was lying on the ground, suddenly had a blackish-green energy emerge from his body. At this moment, the entire earth trembled, and the terrifying Magic Power also made others feel this powerful Magic Power.
Laxus also looked solemn, his body gathering its last bit of Magic Power, and lightning clouds gathering in the sky, ready to strike at any moment.
Natsu, Lucy, Wendy, Hibiki, and the others who were running towards Nirvana, along with Gray, Lyon, Juvia, Blue Pegasus, Jura, and Hoteye on the other side, all sensed this powerful and evil Magic Power.
For a moment, I didn't know which way to run.
