"What is that beam of light?"
Wendy looked at the black pillar of light, puzzled. It gave her an involuntary sense of fear.
"Look! Something is flowing out of those creepy black trees and being sucked into that beam of light. What on earth is going on?"
"Could it be that Nirvana is in that beam of light? If so, does that mean the enemy has already found it?!" Carla had a guess.
Although she didn't know what Nirvana was, such a terrifying magic fluctuation surely indicated something dreadful.
"Takeshi-san, what should we do now?" Wendy was at a loss for ideas at this moment.
Takeshi smiled faintly and said, "It's alright. I'll handle Nirvana. Carla, take Wendy a little further away from me. You can also join the others."
He was strongest when he was alone, able to use his power without any restraint or concern.
If he was with others, his power would be greatly diminished. For example, not long ago, if he had faced Oración Seis alone, he could have activated his Domain and ended the battle instantly.
That's why when Lucy suggested teaming up, he didn't say anything. For many, teaming up makes them stronger, but for him, it only makes him weaker.
"Takeshi-san, although I'm not good at fighting, I can use various support magic."
Wendy thought Takeshi was worried about her safety, so she tried to appear useful.
Takeshi patted Wendy's head. "I know. But you won't need to fight these guys. Everyone will surely rush over there. If anyone gets injured, just help treat them."
He knew Wendy had various support magic. He was very aware of the importance of support.
Wendy was a super support, a trinity of offense, healing, and buffing. He naturally wouldn't underestimate her role.
"Okay." Wendy nodded obediently.
Although it was her first time meeting Takeshi, she felt he was very kind and approachable, like an older brother.
Carla looked speechless. She felt that Wendy was more like a kitten that Takeshi had tamed.

"Oh! Brain, is this that magic?"
Cobra, riding his giant snake, was the first to arrive.
Brain said, "You're here, Cobra? That's right. This is Nirvana, but it's only just been unsealed. It's not its true form yet."
"True form? What's its true form? I can already smell the strong scent of money. This magic is super valuable."
Hoteye also arrived at this moment, his eyes glowing with the color of gold coins as he looked at the pillar of light.
"Don't always talk about money, it makes you seem materialistic. The true meaning of this magic is its ability to make darkness rise and light collapse."
Angel was the last to arrive. "Huh? Where's Racer? Isn't he always the first to arrive?"
Angel scanned the area but didn't find Racer.
Brain showed a sad expression. "Racer... he's already been killed."
"What?!"
"Racer was killed? By whom?!"
Everyone was surprised to hear this. Racer was not weak, especially his magic, which was very powerful. It was difficult to defeat him, and even harder to kill him.
"Who else could it be? Of course, it's that monster Takeshi." Brain said hatefully.
"Takeshi..."
A cloud of gloom fell over their faces. The members of Oración Seis were not far apart in strength. If Takeshi could kill Racer, then he could kill them too.
"Racer will not have died in vain. I will bear this hatred by completely destroying Fairy Tail, using Nirvana to make him personally..."
At this moment, the black pillar of light turned white.
"This is..."
Everyone was confused to see the pillar of light turn white.
Brain's face broke into a smile. "It's fully activated."
"Awaken!!! Nirvana!!!"
"Show your true form!!!"
Brain spread his arms and shouted, activating Nirvana.
Rumble!
As light spread outwards, the ground began to crack, gravity reversed, and everyone was lifted into the air.
"Ahhhhh!"
"Whoaahhh!"
Many people screamed involuntarily.
"I hear it! Our future! The sound of light collapsing!!!" Cobra shouted excitedly.
Immediately after, the ground began to shake. Centered around the pillar of light, huge, octopus-like legs rose from the earth and began to sway, as if they had been buried deep underground for countless years.
Everyone was stunned by this sight.
"What's going on?!"
"The ground over there..."
"Waaahhh!"
Debris around the giant legs kept falling, scaring everyone into screaming and dodging.
A short while later, everything gradually settled, and a gigantic, octopus-like entity appeared above the endless forest.
"Finally... finally got it!"
"The ultimate weapon to destroy light, the super anti-magic—Nirvana!"
"Unity and trust, these most powerful weapons of the lawful guilds, are now powerless! Hahahahaha!" Brain shouted excitedly.
The other members of Oración Seis were also incredibly excited.
"We finally got it! How amazing. This is the legacy of the ancients. Cubellios, look, isn't this impressive?" Cobra said to the giant snake beside him.
Hoteye's eyes gleamed. "Money! Money! So much money! Countless money!"
Angel said excitedly, "Are our wishes about to come true?"
Brain waved his hand. "Look, my comrades, this vast world before us, the ancient city. This is Nirvana's true form. As long as we are in this King's Chamber, we can move this city anywhere I desire."
"Move? Where do you want this thing to go? Fairy Tail?" Several people looked at Brain.
Fairy Tail is the number one Mage Guild in Fiore, and now some even call it the strongest Mage Guild on the Ishgar continent. Destroying Fairy Tail would deal a heavy blow to the lawful guilds.
"Fairy Tail needs to be dealt with, but it's not the top priority. The first guild, you could call it the starting point of light. Once it's destroyed, no one will be able to stop us."
"Advance! Ancient City!"
"Let my darkness become dawn!!!"
Rumble!!!
The giant ancient city's legs began to lift, and then it started to move.
Just then—
Whoosh!
A beam of emerald-green energy landed on Nirvana.
Boom!!!!
