The last member of the Oracion Seis was right before them. Defeating him and stopping this Nirvana would mean the mission was thoroughly completed.
"I'll be the one to defeat this guy!"
Before Brain could even make a move, Natsu took the lead and launched an attack against Brain.
"Fire Dragon's Roar!"
Natsu took a deep breath, then exhaled violently.
Bzzzt-
The moment a crimson magic circle appeared in front of Natsu, a pillar of crimson flame swept directly towards Brain.
"Oh? A Dragon Slayer, huh?"
Looking at Natsu's attack, a look of surprise appeared on Brain's face.
When the pillar of flame approached Brain, Brain raised his palm.
"Dark Protection!"
The moment Brain channeled his magical power, a magical barrier appeared in front of him.
The sweeping crimson flames were completely blocked by this magical barrier.
At the same time, Brain pointed his skull staff towards Natsu's location through the air.
"Vanish, trash!"
"Dark Rhapsody!"
At that moment, the green magical pillar that had defeated Hoteye shot out from the skull staff and swept towards Natsu's location.
Just then, Kenichi's figure appeared in front of Natsu as if by instant movement.
Kenichi casually waved his hand, and the charging green magical pillar was instantly deflected, finally striking a wall not far away.
In an instant, the rock wall was pierced through.
Seeing Kenichi's instant-movement-like speed, Lucy exclaimed, "So fast!"
Gray beside her also said with admiration, "To deflect that guy's magic in an instant... as expected of Kenichi!"
While Lucy and Gray were talking, Brain's old face was filled with astonishment.
"This is..."
"Midnight's magic?!"
That's right. Kenichi had used Midnight's Reflector Magic for instant movement and also used Reflector Magic to deflect Brain's attack.
"I see... no wonder Midnight was defeated!"
Brain naturally knew how powerful Reflector Magic was.
Now, seeing that Kenichi could also use Reflector Magic, a clear look of gravity appeared on his face.
'The weakness of Reflector Magic is that it cannot warp human bodies. As long as I get close...'
Brain stared at Kenichi, thinking to himself.
But before he could finish his thought, Kenichi's voice reached his ears: "I hear it... you want to attack me at close range!"
The moment he heard this, Brain's face changed dramatically. He immediately looked up and saw that Kenichi had somehow appeared right in front of him.
"Even Cobra's magic too..."
Looking at Kenichi who was now right before him, an unprecedented fear rose from the depths of Brain's heart.
That feeling of fear was like a demon's hands gripping his throat, making it difficult for him to even breathe.
"You are..."
Originally, Brain wanted to ask 'Who are you?', but before he could finish, Kenichi casually waved his hand.
"Spiral Pain!"
In the next second, the space where Brain was twisted into a spiral shape.
And Brain's body was pulled, stretched, and compressed by the warped space amidst a series of screams.
After Brain landed, Lyon over there spoke up: "The last of the Oracion Seis has been defeated too. With this, the mission to subdue the Oracion Seis is over. Now we just need to deal with this giant thing below us!"
The mission to subdue the Oracion Seis seemed to be over.
But Kenichi knew it wasn't over yet.
Because there was one more person associated with the Oracion Seis.
This person was Brain's alternate personality, the guild master of the Oracion Seis… Zero.
Brain's alternate personality had been sealed by him using Organic Link Magic.
Once all members of the Oracion Seis were defeated, this seal would be broken.
And Brain's alternate personality would awaken.
Right now, all members of the Oracion Seis had been defeated.
And the seal containing Brain's alternate personality was thus opened.
Of course, if Kenichi were to kill Brain now, then even if Brain's alternate personality awakened, it would be useless.
But Kenichi didn't want to do that.
Brain's alternate personality, Zero, was indeed strong, but Kenichi wasn't afraid of him.
Furthermore, Zero possessed a magic called Dark Gravity.
It could pull enemies in or push them away.
Kenichi was also quite interested in this Dark Gravity magic attribute.
Just as Kenichi was lost in thought, Brain, lying on the ground over there, said with a face full of fear: "That lord is coming!"
Although Brain's voice wasn't very loud, it just so happened to fall on the ears of everyone present.
"That lord?"
"What does that mean?"
Gray looked at Brain and said.
"That lord is the guild master of the Oracion Seis!"
Just then, a sudden, abrupt voice came through the air.
Looking towards the source, they saw that the skull staff Brain had been holding was now standing up by itself and had spoken.
"The skull staff is talking!"
Happy, seeing the skull staff talk, said with astonishment.
"You're the last one who should be surprised, you talking cat!"
Hearing Happy, Lucy couldn't help but complain.
While Lucy and Happy were talking, Erza asked the skull staff: "Didn't the Oracion Seis only have six members? Who is this guild master?"
"Guild Master... Zero!"
Hearing Erza's question, the skull staff answered in a trembling voice: "That is Brain's other personality. Because he is too brutal, Brain sealed him using Organic Link Magic. The key to the seal is all members of the Oracion Seis!"
"Now that you have defeated all the Oracion Seis, the seal has been broken, and the Guild Master has awakened!"
As soon as the skull staff finished speaking, Brain, who was lying on the ground over there, suddenly opened his eyes.
The stripes on his face had completely vanished.
And the pupils of his eyes were crimson, looking quite unsettling.
"Finally, the seal is broken, huh?"
Brain, no, it should be Zero now, stood up and spoke in a deep voice.
Hearing this, the skull staff over there trembled all over like a mouse seeing a cat. It hurriedly moved in front of Zero and said with a terrified expression, "Guild Master-sama!"
At this point, the expressions of Jura, Erza, and the others all changed.
Although the Zero before them shared the same body as Brain, everyone clearly felt that the aura of this Zero was completely different from Brain's.
"This person is the guild master of the Oracion Seis, Zero?!"
