Brain extended his hands.
A pair of jet-black bracelets were already deeply embedded in his wrists, and dark magic slowly surged out.
As Brain rotated his hands, some of the dark magic immediately formed a jet-black blade, which Brain held in his hand.
He stomped his foot.
The ground cracked open, and as his figure charged forward, the rest of the magic transformed into beams of light, fending off Zorn's magic.
The moment the two opposing energies collided, although the dark energy corroded a portion of Zorn's energy, it was still shattered by the more powerful Holy Light.
The scattered dark energy fell to the ground, immediately corroding a large area, and it continued to corrode further.
Zorn's Holy Light Magic, however, was the opposite; the moment it shone, it stopped the spread of the corrosion, but it could not restore the ground, leaving behind numerous craters.
"Tsk~"
Brain tsked, frowning. Zorn's power was indeed naturally opposed to him.
"It's not over yet~"
Brain first suppressed the emotions in his heart, twisted his wrist, compressed the dark energy into the blade, and swung it out with force.
The moment the two attacks collided, they became entangled.
Zorn grinned: "Now that's more like an attack!"
His arm muscles bulged, and a massive force sent Brain flying back again. Zorn pressed forward, pursuing him.
The two of them clashed back and forth in the air and on the ground. No matter how Brain attacked, he couldn't break through Zorn's armor defense. Even if it was slightly damaged, it was quickly repaired.
It was as if Zorn's magic would never run out.
"Impossible, even if the people of your world have magic in their bodies, in this world, your magic will eventually be exhausted!"
"Despite such an intense battle, why is your magic still so powerful...?"
The further the battle between Brain and Zorn progressed, the more despair Brain felt in his heart. He didn't feel Zorn's magic weaken in the slightest; it had always been as dazzling as the sun in the sky.
It stung his heart.
"Do you remember what I just said?"
"I've only shown half of my strength, and the sun in the sky is so big!"
"The magic consumed can be ignored!"
After Zorn finished speaking, he unleashed his final strike, and the sword in his hand slowly turned into particles and disappeared into the air.
Brain's body surged with magic, and he made up his mind. Just as he was about to act and activate the magic circle he had prepared.
However, he had to defend against the blade that was cutting towards him.
He swung several times in the air before he barely managed to fend off Zorn's attack.
"Your strength is indeed good, but I can't bring out my other power! So, let this strike be the end. The matters of this world conclude here."
"But don't worry, you'll still have breath to tell me what happened that year!"
Zorn clasped his hands together, and an inexplicable aura surged forth. Intense light shot out from his hands, blinding Brain.
"To this extent?"
"It's not over yet, Zorn! Even if I risk my life, I'll drag you down with me!"
Brain crossed his hands, and the moment the bracelets collided, the ground began to tremble. A black magic circle instantly unfolded, enveloping the entire town.
Zorn, however, looked at the magic circle beneath his feet, and several images suddenly flashed in his mind.
...
A few minutes ago.
The battle between Gajeel and Panther Lily.
"It seems you and the Exceed of this world are of the same race!"
"Why would you join the Kingdom Army?!"
Gajeel blocked Panther Lily's attack with crossed arms, scanning the cat up and down, asking the doubts in his heart.
However, he didn't expect that at this question, Panther Lily would first be stunned, then immediately become furious.
"I have abandoned my homeland, that false kingdom, I don't need it!"
He raised his greatsword high, filled with disgust for that country, and swung it at Gajeel.
Smoke billowed, the ground cracked, and gravel flew everywhere.
"So that's how it is, just as I wished!"
Gajeel's excited tone already showed that he was very happy and satisfied with this cat.
Panther Lily's body trembled, not because of Gajeel's words, but because he found that his Mother of Destruction was completely immobile.
When the smoke cleared.
"What! How is this possible?"
Panther Lily exclaimed.
He saw that Gajeel's hand was glowing with a black substance, and he had gripped the Mother of Destruction with a single hand, his fingers applying slight pressure.
"I've decided, you're going to be my cat!"
Gajeel raised an eyebrow, looking at his cat with satisfaction, but then his tone shifted, and he continued: "And one more thing... that is..."
He paused for a moment, increasing the pressure in his hand.
"Bang~"
The greatsword shattered into pieces and fell to the ground with a clatter.
While Panther Lily looked down at the fragments in surprise, Gajeel had already punched him in the face.
"Let you know whose strength is stronger!"
"This way, I'll never lose to that smelly fire dragon and that girl again!"
"And I can make Laxus jealous!"
After the fight, Gajeel fantasized on the ground by himself, imagining holding the cat and showing it off to the fire dragon and the others, proving whose cat was the strongest.
Moreover, he was sure he could see Laxus's jealous gaze.
Thinking of this, Gajeel burst into laughter.
He didn't know that Laxus had also met his fated cat.
"This guy... is too strong! His personality is a bit strange too."
Panther Lily, who was lying on the ground, had just looked arrogant, but now he was laughing foolishly, looking him up and down with a strange expression.
Finally, he couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, you're quite odd!"
"But it's not over yet, it's not certain who's stronger!"
Panther Lily removed his helmet and cloak, clenched his fists, assumed a fighting stance, stomped his foot, and engaged Gajeel in battle again!
Suddenly
On the ground, faint black energy emerged, and a black magic circle appeared before them. An evil aura assailed them, making them stop their movements and look at the magic circle in shock.
"What is this...?"
Gajeel asked Panther Lily in surprise.
"I don't know, we need to go back. Only then can we investigate it thoroughly!"
Panther Lily looked at the black magic circle, but he had no information about it in his mind. However, judging by its range, the entire kingdom was already enveloped.
"What are you doing...?"
"This way, we'll get back quickly!"
Panther Lily ignored Gajeel's exclamation, grabbed him, flapped his wings, and flew towards the capital at an extremely fast speed.
