"Smack! Smack!" A tap was delivered to the head of both Kana and Virgo.
"But then again, if we keep ambushing the smaller ones like this, will our final score be higher than Natsu and Gray's? Elfman and Evergreen are both very strong, Levy and Gajeel are not weak either. What if Loke saves that traitor again!" Lucy said through gritted teeth.
"It's alright, didn't Chen Fan say? We don't care about the process, only the final blow! We can sneak up behind the others and land the final attack!" Kana said.
"Wow... Kana, I didn't expect you to have this idea too," Lucy said.
"Spending too much time with Chen Fan will catch his influence, won't it? You're no exception, Lucy."
"Um... just a little bit!" Lucy said. "Oh! By the way! Kana, since you're in the guild, you must know what Chen Fan was like in the past, right?"
Kana raised an eyebrow, revealing a mysterious smile, and said, "What? Interested in Chen Fan?"
"No, I'm just curious. I haven't been in the guild long enough to know anything about everyone's past, so I wanted to find out. What's so strange about that? I want to know more about everyone in the guild so that I can feel closer to them..." Lucy said.
The two walked towards the base, chatting and laughing.
The weather at sea is unpredictable; just a moment ago it was a scorching hot sunny day, but now it's covered with dark clouds, and it looks like a heavy rain is about to fall.
"Lucy, let's find somewhere to hide."
"Okay...!" Kana and Lucy said;
Everyone on the island noticed the change in weather; those who were fighting continued fighting, while those who weren't found a place to take shelter from the rain.
Chen Fan and Makarov, along with Wendy, Charle, and Mest from the Magic Council, arrived at the towering tree supporting the island. Lili, worried about Gajeel, went to look for Gajeel.
"Brother Chen Fan, why did we come here? Everyone's still fighting!" Wendy said. Charle also looked at Chen Fan curiously, and Mest also somewhat curious.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "You guys still remember that guy from earlier, right?"
Wendy and Charlotte nodded. "The magic that guy used is called 'Arc of the Great Tree,' Lost Magic. Our Fairy Tail, the Tenrou Tree standing in the center of the island, the tree right next to us, was protected by someone with a Fairy Tail tattoo. It has a special power to enhance magic and save the people on this island from disaster."
"So that's why you chose to come to this island for training?" Wendy said, Satori.
"Hmm! Wendy's so smart!" Chen Fan smiled and patted Wendy's head, saying, "The person who attacked you just now is one of the Seven Kin of Purgatory from Demon's Heart. His Lost Magic can penetrate to the Root of the entire tree. If this tree falls, the magic power of all of us Fairy Tail members will be greatly reduced, making the fight much more difficult. I can't protect Brother Chen Fan right now, and I don't want anything to happen to the guild members, so I can only protect this tree. The rest is up to everyone's strength!"
Then he turned to Makarov and said with a smile, "Is that how it is, old man!"
Makarov smiled but didn't say anything. Chen Fan noticed but didn't pay much attention, assuming Makarov was worried about the guild members. Chen Fan shared this concern, but couldn't show it now.
"Boom... Crack...!" Rain began to fall from the sky, and the group quickly found a tree hole to take shelter inside. Chen Fan, however, didn't care, as the rain didn't affect him; the rainwater would automatically bounce off his body.
At that moment, another Makarov appeared at the grave of the First Generation. Rain poured down on Makarov, but Makarov seemed oblivious. Makarov clasped his hands together before the First Generation master's remains, silently praying, "Please bless the guild's children! First Generation Master Mavis Lyon!"
A footstep suddenly sounded behind Makarov, and Hades, cloaked in black, appeared abruptly. Without turning his head, Makarov said, "The second guild master of Fairy Tail? What a disgrace to Fairy Tail!"
"The essence of magic is something you don't understand, Makarov!" Hades declared.
Suddenly, Chen Fan sensed instability in the nearby force field. There was only one person Demon's Heart could alter the gravitational field like this— the Vice President. Soon, the group spotted him.
It's easy to spot that he's someone with a presence similar to Gildarts, and the rain around him is particularly heavy, making it immediately clear that he's out of sync with the surrounding rain.
Chen Fan said to Wendy and Charle, "You two stay with the old man, I'll go and deal with this guy!"
"Brother Chen Fan, be careful!"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't you know how amazing your brother is?"
