"What incredible speed, just like that Oracion Seis's member over there!"
Eve, the blond boy behind Ichiya, looked at Kenichi and spoke with astonishment.
Not long after Eve finished speaking, Cobra, who was leaning against the large tree over there, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and leaped directly into the sky.
In Cobra's view, he needed to maintain a certain distance from Kenichi to render Kenichi's [Slow Magic] ineffective.
Once Cobra's figure rose to a certain height, the python coiled around him instantly grew a pair of wings, then carried Cobra, flying towards an even higher altitude.
"Eh? That snake has wings too?"
Lucy, seeing the python could fly, complained with a face full of surprise.
Then, under the watchful eyes of Lucy, Erza, and the others, Cobra and the python flew to an altitude of over a hundred meters above the ground and stabilized.
"At this distance, it should be enough!"
Cobra looked down at Kenichi on the ground below, a curve hooking at the corner of his mouth.
However, just as he was about to launch an attack towards the ground below, Kenichi's figure shot towards him with astonishing speed.
'This guy can fly too?'
Watching Kenichi fly up, Cobra's face was exceptionally expressive.
He never expected that Kenichi could also fly.
After all, in the Fairy Tail World, most mages cannot fly.
Only a small portion of mages who have mastered certain types of magic can fly.
And Kenichi was one of this small portion of mages who could fly.
The flight magic Kenichi was using now was precisely Jellal's Heavenly Body Magic, Meteor.
Of course, he could also use Freed's Dark Ecriture to create a pair of illusory wings for flight, just like how Freed did when fighting Mirajane.
Soon, Kenichi, shimmering with a pale golden light, flew to the same altitude as Cobra.
Looking at Kenichi before him, Cobra's expression was very grim.
He went through all the trouble to reach this altitude just to put distance between himself and Kenichi, thereby nullifying the [Slow Magic].
But Kenichi flew right up to him again, so everything was back to square one.
"Damn it!"
Cobra gritted his teeth and let out a low curse, then swung his palm towards Kenichi through the air.
"Dragon Slayer Magic: Poison Dragon's Scale Fang!"
The moment a crimson magic circle appeared in front of Cobra's palm, a large number of crescent-shaped crimson poison projectiles swept towards Kenichi, covering the sky.
Kenichi's figure darted left and right in the sky, avoiding all those crimson poison projectiles.
Seeing that [Poison Dragon's Scale Fang] was completely avoided by Kenichi, a very unwilling Cobra formed his hand into a claw and swung it towards Kenichi through the air.
"Poison Dragon's Claw!"
Whoosh-
At that moment, five sickle-like poison claws shot towards Kenichi.
And at this point, the system's mechanical prompt also sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +5]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +6]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Poison Dragon Slayer Magic attribute!]
'It's finally here!'
Hearing this system prompt, Kenichi's mind stirred.
[Host, would you like to collect the Poison Dragon Slayer Magic?]
'Collect!'
With Kenichi's command, the three golden attributes beside Cobra all converged towards Kenichi.
After the [Poison Dragon Slayer Magic] attribute appeared on the virtual screen in front of Kenichi, the look in his eyes changed.
Originally, he hadn't been using much power because his goal was to obtain the Poison Dragon Slayer Magic attribute.
But now that both the [Hearing Magic] and [Poison Dragon Slayer Magic] attributes were acquired, there was no need to play around anymore.
At that moment, a surge of crimson flames erupted around Kenichi's body.
The poison claws sweeping towards Kenichi evaporated from the high temperature before they could even get close to him.
'My poison... evaporated?'
'What a terrifying temperature!'
Looking at the scene before him, Cobra's expression grew increasingly grim.
Just then, Cobra heard Kenichi's intention to attack him. Without any hesitation, he immediately manipulated the python beneath him to dodge to the side.
But before the python could even begin to move its body, Kenichi's figure had already charged in front of Cobra.
In the blink of an eye, Kenichi's fist, wreathed in crimson flames, slammed into Cobra.
Kenichi did not hold back with this punch.
The moment Kenichi's fist landed on Cobra, Cobra vomited a mouthful of blood.
And his body, like a cannonball, shot diagonally downwards from the python's back towards the ground below.
Whoosh-
In just the blink of an eye, Cobra's body crashed from a hundred meters high into the forest below.
Boom-
At that moment, a cloud of dust shot up into the sky from the forest, and the surrounding trees collapsed with a roar.
While Kenichi was sending Cobra flying, Erza on the ground below had also discovered the weakness of the [Slow Magic].
"So that's how it is!"
"Natsu, Gray! That guy's speed isn't actually fast. It's just his magic that makes you feel he's fast. The range of this magic is about a hundred meters or so!"
Hearing Erza's words, Racer's face changed dramatically.
Natsu and Gray, both covered in wounds, stood up simultaneously and looked at Racer as if he were prey.
"Happy!"
"Aye!"
Hearing Natsu, Happy immediately spread his wings and flew towards him.
Then, carried by Happy, Natsu was taken high into the sky.
After Natsu stabilized himself, he could clearly see that the speed of Racer's attacks against Gray wasn't fast at all.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu didn't hesitate at all. He took a deep breath and unleashed the Fire Dragon's Roar.
A crimson pillar of flame, like a dragon plunging into the sea, shot directly down towards Racer below.
Soon, the pillar of flame struck the spot where Racer was.
At that moment, Racer's figure was engulfed by the violent flames.
And Gray was sent flying by the shockwave.
"Natsu! Are you trying to take me out too?!"
Gray, after landing, cursed loudly at Natsu in the sky.
At the same time, Brain, who was deep in the forest searching for Nirvana, changed his expression: "Not just Cobra... even Racer has..."
"At this point, we must find Nirvana first, then wipe out all those guys in one go!"
