A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

"So, gentlemen, I have a proposal to make!"

Inside the venue, virtual screens and broadcasts streamed the images and sounds of the group, showing Brian easily suppressing the three men in a single night, which greatly shocked the audience.

Most of the audience here are novices, and a small number are laymen. They can't see the difference in strength between the four people at all. All they know is that, so far, no mage from any guild has been able to fight three people at once!

Moreover, both Pakas and Ichiya are considered ace players by their respective guilds. In their eyes, this means that Brian has the strength to take on two or three guilds' entire mages single-handedly.

"He's holding his own against three opponents! That guy Brian is amazing!!"

"But Kirasan is still stronger!! He could easily defeat that guy two years ago, so isn't it even easier for him now?!"

"Look! It seems like Ichiro has come up with a great idea! Could it be that he found a method from the way Kirasan defeated Brian back then?"

"Truly worthy of being Master Yi Ye!!"

"Really? ...That guy can really find a way?? With that weird-looking old man??"

"Don't underestimate Yi Ye, he's the ace of 'Azure Pegasus'!"

Inside the battle, Brian was getting closer and closer.

Seeing that Ye was so serious beside him, Pakas couldn't help but be stunned: "Could it be that you've found a way to deal with him?"

“There is indeed a way to deal with the current situation!” Yi Ye said in a deep voice, “That method is…”

"That method is...?"

"The solution is... run!!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Yi Ye grabbed his magic sniper rifle, turned around, and ran away!

Pakas: "..."

The entire venue: "..."

Brian: "..."

"Eh?!?!?!" ×N

Chapter 684 First Blood

"Oh my god!! Oh my god!!"

"Mr. One Night's method is actually to escape?!"

Chapati exclaimed in surprise, then pulled out a handkerchief from her breast pocket to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead: "While this is indeed a good idea, with the atmosphere already built up to this point, isn't choosing to run away a bit inappropriate?"

At this point, it was Yajima's turn to smooth things over: "I don't think there's anything wrong with it, after all, the opponent's strength is obvious to all."

The pumpkin man on the other side also made his presence known again: "Keeping your distance from your opponents and choosing to 'hunt' from a distance through gunfights is the original competition rule."

"That makes sense..."

With the explanations of the three, the audience and guild mages, who had been dumbfounded and astonished and disappointed by the sudden desertion during the battle, finally remembered the rules of the competition.

"That's right, this 'hunt' is supposed to be judged by the number of hits, not by whether you have to win..."

"That's right, that's right... we all misunderstood Yi Ye Sang."

"But he looked so pathetic as he ran away."

"You're wrong about that. What do you mean by running away or being in a sorry state? Can you call it running away when it comes to a competition? This is 'avoiding the enemy's strength' and 'playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses'..."

I don't understand what you're saying!

Inside the 'Azure Pegasus' camp, the fans who had been following him all night showed no embarrassment or shame at their leader's decision to run away; instead, they worshipped him even more.

"To actually come up with a way to avoid their sharp edge, you truly deserve to be called the boss of the night!!"

"Just how handsome are you...?"

"We still have a long way to go."

"So handsome~ Brother Yiye!!"

The people around: "..."

Are you all blind? Or are you all completely out of your minds? Everyone in this guild is crazy!

Inside the stadium.

Seeing that he had turned and fled, disappearing into the street in a few turns, Packard sighed and facepalmed, "I knew it! I couldn't have too much hope for him! Now all I can do is... wait?! Where did he go?!"

Packas looked around, only to find that Brian had already disappeared from his sight.

His years of vigilance prompted him to react immediately. He turned and jumped, rolled to the side, and did a backflip, managing to survive the entire sequence. He didn't sense Brian's presence or feel any magical attacks from his surroundings.

Packard was immediately puzzled: "Where did that guy go?"

boom!!!

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud explosion came from the direction where he had fled the night before, followed by the earth-shattering screams that had echoed through more than a dozen streets the night before.

Packers and Toby exchanged bewildered glances: "Uh... that guy didn't chase after us, did he?"

the other side.

He slowly rose from the ruins overnight.

"Why...why are you chasing me...?"

Brian strode forward, waved his hand, and a large green hand formed of magic lifted Yi Ye into the air: "If I remember correctly, you were in that allied forces back then, weren't you?"

"You...you've got it wrong..."

audience:"……"

Brian: "..."

"You idiot, do you think I'm a moron?!"

Brian was furious. He swung his magical hand and flung Night into the sky. Then, a torrent of dark green magic gathered in front of him and shot towards Night in mid-air.

"Ever-Dark Rondo!!"

This action greatly shocked everyone in the venue.

"not good!!"

"So green!!... Ah, no, Ichisan is in danger!!"

"Hey!! Isn't using magic of this level against the rules?!"

"Um... well..."

Hearing the audience's questions, the three judges were taken aback for a moment. After whispering a few words, they awkwardly scratched their heads and explained, "In terms of magical destructive power alone, this move is no match for the two matches yesterday."

The audience fell silent for a moment: "..."

Right, those two battles yesterday, one froze the arena into an ice field, and the other summoned a mountain-sized demon god, and then got knocked down. With that kind of performance, isn't it more advanced than mere magic penetration?

Using magic that exceeds the rules isn't considered a violation, so this move certainly isn't either...

It seems we haven't seen enough!

Just as the night was about to be pierced by 'Eternal Darkness Rhapsody', a dark red spell suddenly attacked from the side, followed by an unexpected shout.

"Space distortion!!"

An invisible magical fluctuation acted out of thin air on this terrifying dark magic, causing its direction of travel to be distorted. In an extremely abrupt way, it was directly shifted 70 degrees and fell vertically to hit the ground!

"Oh my god!! It's Mark Beth!!"

"He saved Sang all night, that's wonderful!"

Mark Beth's appearance to save the day instantly boosted the audience's goodwill towards him and 'The Sin of Witches,' almost making them forget their past misdeeds.

Meanwhile, another person entered the fray.

Packas strode quickly, each step covering several meters. At the street corner a dozen meters away, he arrived behind Brian in a few strides. Taking advantage of Brian's attention being drawn to Mark Beth's magic, he struck him in the waist with a palm strike.

"Moonlight Splitting Palm!!"

People in this world seem to have an inexplicable obsession with other people's kidneys. Even someone as strong as Acnologia likes to take out kidneys when he launches a sneak attack, and that's how Serena died.

Therefore, at this moment, Packers' sneak attack on Brian's kidneys was both unexpected and yet perfectly reasonable.

"How naive!!"

Brian snorted coldly, and the magic power he gathered in his hand transformed into a powerful palm strike, which he aimed directly at Pakas.

"Constant Dark Palm!!"

Pakas was startled and quickly withdrew his palm and retreated. Just after he jumped away, a palm force slammed into his original spot, leaving a palm print on the ground hundreds of times larger than a human hand.

"That was close..."

On the other side, Toby the kobold also flew over from the corner, arms outstretched, to embrace the falling Night...

Bang! !

"Sorry, I couldn't hold on!" Toby was taken aback, then quickly bowed and apologized.

"Quick...quick, pull me up..."

He lay on the ground in a backward-folded position, his buttocks, clad in white suit pants, sticking out towards the sky. His head was throbbing from being hit by the ground, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

As he stood up, Ye Yi's expression darkened, and he thought to himself, "I miscalculated. I didn't expect this guy to chase after me for the sake of the allied forces from back then..."

Thank you all so much this time.

In fact, Packers and the others had their reasons for coming to rescue the night. The main reason was that Brian was much stronger than the others and clearly did not intend to hunt using 'gunfights', which would disrupt the game balance.

On the other hand, he really went too far in one night, and if someone had died, it would have been difficult to handle.

Finally, the other party was once the leader of the 'Six Demon Generals'. Even though he is now under the command of the Guild of Light, judging from his words and actions, he is still a dangerous person.

With the original three plus the newly arrived Mark Beth, Brian is now fighting four against one, leaving Kira, Timaria, and Deecizhuo nowhere to be found.

"So you've finally decided to come out, Dark Night?"

Brian glanced at Mark Beth standing on the nearby building, snorted coldly, and then swept his gaze over the four of them one by one. "Since we're out here, let's save time. All four of you come at me at once!"

"Oh my god! Mr. Brian actually wants to take on four opponents by himself?! What arrogant words! How incredibly presumptuous! But since he dares to say such a thing, does he really have the strength?"
