In the sky above Worth Woodsea, just as Christina was about to crash, Kenichi used the Arc of Time to repair the damage to Christina.
Finally, Christina landed safely in the forest below.
"We're saved!"
Lucy knelt on the ground, speaking with a face full of lingering fear.
At this point, Natsu had already jumped down from Christina and charged towards Midnight: "Was it you who attacked the airship just now?"
"Natsu!"
Gray called out to Natsu, then also charged out.
"Are all Fairy Tail mages this reckless?"
Sherry, with one hand on her hip, watched Natsu and Gray charge directly at the enemy and said helplessly.
"Let's go down too!"
Jura called out to Sherry and Lyon, then walked out.
When Kenichi, Erza, and Lucy emerged from the airship, they saw that Natsu had already begun attacking Midnight.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
While charging, Natsu violently exhaled.
Bzzzt-
The moment the magic circle appeared, a crimson pillar of flame swept directly towards Midnight.
Facing Natsu's attack, Midnight acted as if he didn't see it. He stood lazily on a rock amidst the ruins, not moving at all.
However, just as Natsu's flames were about to hit Midnight, the flames suddenly twisted, bypassing the area where Midnight stood.
"What's going on?"
Witnessing this scene, not only Natsu, but also Gray, and later Jura, Lyon, and the others who followed, were all astonished.
"What did this guy just do?"
While everyone was looking at Midnight with shock and confusion, Midnight, with drooping eyelids as if not fully awake, scanned Natsu, Gray, and the others.
"Was it you who disturbed my sleep?"
With that, Midnight swung his palm towards Natsu, Gray, and the others.
[Spiral Pain]
Bzzzt-
At that moment, the space where Natsu, Gray, and the others were instantly twisted into a spiral shape.
And Natsu, Gray, and the others within the warped space had their bodies stretched and elongated!
"Damn it! My body is being torn apart!"
"What kind of magic is this guy using?"
Natsu and Gray struggled continuously within the warped space, but no matter how they struggled, it was useless.
Jura, seeing the pained expressions on Natsu and Gray's faces, widened his eyes.
"Rock Pillar!"
Jura brought two fingers together like a sharp sword and violently swung them towards Midnight's location.
In the next second, a stone pillar instantly shot out from the ground beneath Midnight.
And Midnight's figure was carried into the sky along with the stone pillar.
"Rock Fist!"
The moment Midnight was airborne, Jura's joined fingers transformed, and a huge arm made of condensed rock shot out from the ground at his feet.
Under Jura's control, the rock arm, as if alive, threw a punch towards Midnight in the sky.
However, the moment the rock arm was about to hit Midnight, it penetrated past Midnight's side in a warped manner.
"Again!"
Sherry beside Jura looked at this scene, her pretty face full of confusion.
While Jura was attacking Midnight, the warped space where Gray and Natsu were had already returned to normal. The two of them were sitting on the ground, panting heavily.
"Natsu! Gray!"
Soon, Kenichi, Erza, and the others ran over.
"What was that?"
"Attacks completely can't hit that person!"
Lucy, who had stopped behind Kenichi, watched as Jura's attacks all warped past Midnight and spoke with a face full of shock and confusion.
While Lucy was speaking, Kenichi's gaze also fell upon Midnight.
Lucy didn't know what was happening, but as a transmigrator, Kenichi did.
This was precisely the effect of Midnight's Reflector Magic.
Midnight's Reflector Magic could create an area of warped space around himself.
All magical attacks approaching Midnight would be warped and deflected by that warped space.
"Magic is ineffective against me!"
After Jura had been attacking Midnight for a while, Midnight said indifferently, then made a grabbing motion towards Jura through the air.
Bzzzt-
At that moment, the space where Jura was twisted intensely.
Under the pressure and distortion of the space, Jura's face showed clear pain.
"Jura-san!"
Lyon, seeing the pain on Jura's face, changed his expression. Without any hesitation, he immediately launched an attack against Midnight.
"Ice-Make: Sword!"
Lyon swung his hand, and a large number of ice swords swept towards Midnight like rain.
Seeing the ice swords sweeping towards him, Midnight immediately released Jura and warped the space around himself.
All those ice swords completely penetrated through Midnight's body.
"All attacks are ineffective!"
"Even the Wizard Saint Jura..."
"Isn't this invincible?"
Lucy, seeing all of Lyon's attacks pass through Midnight's body, and then looking at the pained Jura, felt extreme fear on her pretty face.
Indeed, in a way, Midnight's Reflector Magic was invincible.
Because Midnight could warp all magical attacks, rendering them ineffective.
But Reflector Magic had two weaknesses.
It cannot warp human bodies. Direct physical attacks cannot be deflected by Midnight's Reflector Magic.
The warped space is only in one location. When Midnight warps the space around himself, he cannot attack others.
Conversely, when he attacks others, the space around himself cannot be warped. Therefore, the best time to attack Midnight is when he is attacking others.
Of course, besides these two weaknesses, Reflector Magic had another weakness.
That weakness was Kenichi.
Because Reflector Magic belonged to the spatial magic category.
And Kenichi could render all magic related to space ineffective.
The reason Kenichi hadn't dealt with Midnight yet was that he was waiting for the system to drop Midnight's Reflector Magic attribute.
As Lyon, Sherry, and the others continuously attacked Midnight.
A series of system prompts continuously sounded in Kenichi's mind.
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +5]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Magic Power attribute +4]
[Ding, congratulations Host, obtained Doll Master Magic attribute!]
[…]
'Doll Master Magic?'
Hearing this system prompt, he raised an eyebrow.
Clearly, this Doll Master Magic was Sherry's magic.
This magic could control all objects except humans, including Celestial Spirits.
[Host, would you like to collect the Doll Master Magic attribute?]
'Collect!'
With Kenichi's command, the large number of attributes beneath Sherry and Lyon over there all converged towards Kenichi.
