Chapter 679: How are you, Dark Night?
"Today's competition is..."
"hunting!!"
"Then the first place score is..."
“Five points!!”
"At the same time, the player who eliminates the most players can get an additional..."
“Five points!!”
On July 3rd, the third day of the Great Demon Fighting Martial Arts Show, the competition was even more intense and exciting than yesterday.
On the judges' stage, announcer Chapati, with dark circles under her eyes, said with all her might: "Everyone seems very tired today. It seems like you didn't sleep well last night!"
"Were you frightened during yesterday's game?"
Yajima seemed to have aged several years in an instant. Because he was wearing a hat, it was unclear whether it was due to severe hair loss, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were obviously a little deeper, and he looked weak. "Although the problem was solved beautifully in the end and no safety accidents occurred, it is not easy to forget it so quickly..."
The mysterious pumpkin man waved his white-gloved hands: "I slept well, pumpkin~"
Huh? How dare you sleep well when I didn't? What's your age and status? How can you sleep well?
Everyone didn't know the Pumpkin Man's true identity, and they complained about him without restraint in their hearts.
Fairy Tail position.
"Today's score is higher than yesterday's. 'First Place in Hunting' and 'Most Hunted' add up to 10 points... Why don't I take the lead?"
Kira volunteered, stepping forward to block the others.
"This kind of competition is perfect for an all-around wizard like me who has a variety of magic! Besides, Laxus and Erza already played yesterday, so they must have consumed a lot of energy, so let me do it today!!"
Laxus and Erza were stunned: "Well... Actually our consumption is not that great..."
Kira's face darkened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Shut up! Are my eyes just for show? Don't I know how to control my mind when it comes to whether you consume too much energy or not?! I advise you not to be too stubborn!!"
I advise you not to be too aggressive.
I advise you not to disturb me from showing off√
The Raven's Tail position.
"Hunting... the name of this event suits my taste! How about I take on this battle today? Maybe I can eliminate everyone else in one go and make up for the disadvantage of the past two days!!"
A terrifying grin flashed across Brian's face. Ever since the 'Six Demon Generals' were passively disbanded, his second personality, Wu, which had destructive tendencies, often came out on its own and spoke nonsense, causing him to feel embarrassed and awkward afterwards.
At this time, Brian was also in a half-drillless state, just like the Hulk in Avengers 4, combining wisdom and strength to become a white-haired middle-aged man who was neither strong nor handsome.
Where does this guy get his confidence from?
The other teammates were speechless for a while, but since Alok had failed, Brian was the strongest left, so they did not speak out to stop him, but instead encouraged him to go up with “Ah, yes, yes, yes”.
Human nature is like this: when you get beaten, you want others to be beaten as well.
On the other side, the Witch's Sin position.
Seeing Brian tidying up his face and preparing to go on stage from afar, Eric, Anye and others became nervous. The nightmare-like unbearable past once again flooded into their minds. They looked at each other and decided to send someone to settle past grudges.
"Scissors, Rock, Paper!"
“…”
Dark Night looked at the two fingers in his hand and the fist that Lisa had retracted, and pondered for a moment: "I say, you didn't cheat just now, did you? Slow down my perception, and wait until I have nothing but scissors before you use your fist or something..."
Lisa's mood suddenly turned bad, and she yelled, "No way! Can you please stop accusing others of cheating every time you get unlucky? Is it that hard to admit that you are bad at rock-paper-scissors?!"
Dark Night continued to roll his eyes silently.
"Okay, okay... Lisa, don't take what Markbeth said too seriously. It's your fault that you have a criminal record ..."
In "Witch's Sin", there are two people on the blacklist of the rock-paper-scissors game. One is Eric, because he can listen to other people's ideas, which allows him to know what his opponent will do, and then he can make a restrained response; the other is Lisa, because he can influence other people's perception and wait until he sees clearly what his opponent has done before making a move.
So every time they played rock-paper-scissors, they would either exclude these two people or order them not to cheat.
Regarding the 'hunt' this time, Jellal asked Yami and Lisa to play rock-paper-scissors, and the loser would go into battle. This was what they had agreed on beforehand, but Lisa's expression of not wanting to see Brian really made people wonder if he was cheating.
Ten minutes later, the eight contestants gathered: Kira, Dimalia, Markbeth, Toby, Disizu, Pacas, Yiye, and Brian.
After a night of rush work, the playing field that was trampled by Zhan Zhiban yesterday has been repaired and returned to its original concrete surface.
"As expected of a competition held by the kingdom, the construction speed is fast!"
Kira came to the competition venue, looked left and right, and tried to step on the ground with force. He found that the ground was very solid. He couldn't help but exclaimed, "Such a big hole was blocked in one night, and it is so flat and solid. This efficiency is much better than the construction workers in Magnolia!"
Snap——!
Hmm? What's that sound?
Kira glanced down and found a small pothole under his feet.
“…”
It seems like they cut corners!
Looking around, Kira realized that there seemed to be a large number of viewers watching his actions, and he was delighted because it was a sign of his popularity, but he also realized that he couldn't just walk away as if nothing had happened.
"It's really annoying..."
Kilayan wiped the small hole on the ground that he had stepped on, and the ground immediately returned to its original state. But soon, he seemed to think of something, so he wiped it again, and then walked forward confidently.
"I didn't expect you to be here too?"
Kira was very surprised when he saw Dimalia.
Dimaria snorted coldly: "Lanti and I came to Ishgar for vacation before. Isn't it normal there?"
"Is this woman the wizard that Urrutia mentioned, who can use the magic of time stop? Time stop... It's such an outrageous magic. I have to keep an eye on her all the time..."
Markbeth looked at Dimalia chatting with Kira, and his heart suddenly tightened, but he changed his mind and shook his head, laughing at his own fear. "That being said, if I really meet her, I probably won't be able to do anything to her... It seems that I have to keep my distance!"
Then, Markbeth turned his gaze to Brian again.
"What's wrong, Dark Night?" Brian noticed his gaze and smiled jokingly, "Your eyes... look a little different than before?"
Markbeth frowned and simply said, "I no longer use that name! The name 'Dark Night' is a thing of the past!"
"You didn't even call me 'father'... You are such an unfilial child!!"
Brian smiled jokingly, "'Dark Night' is the code name I gave you. Although you have returned to your real name now, your essence has not changed! Your tone is still so cold, and your aura is as dark as midnight... It seems that you are still as ruthless as ever!!"
“Really? You’re like this, I really can’t control myself. I want to destroy you completely! Hahahaha…”
Neuropathy!!
Markbeth complained in his heart, but his face remained stern.
With just a few words, he had guessed about Brian's current condition, so he changed the subject: "Why are you here? With your past experience, you should be in the prison of the Council House now, and you should not come out even if the Council House is completely destroyed..."
At this point, Brian's expression suddenly changed. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why? Are you disappointed that I didn't end up in jail in the Council?"
"Humph! A bunch of traitors ! You know, I was the one who rescued you from the Tower of Paradise, and what happened? You guys actually betrayed me and shamelessly became running dogs of the royal family. You are so shameless!!!"
Markbeth argued: "It was you who didn't consider us as companions first and thought of abandoning us first!!"
At the beginning, because Hoat and Jellal were transformed into good people by "Nirvana" one after another and stabbed Brian in the back, he decided to clean up the mess without thinking.
Although it was not wrong to do so, it would ultimately chill the morale of his subordinates. In addition, they surrendered because of the recruitment of Kira, an external enemy that they could not defeat at all. They cannot be blamed at all. Besides, in the end, the Humanoid also lost to Kira. It can only be said that his failure was caused by lack of luck and strength.
“You bastard…”
Before they could finish their sentence, Brian and Markbeth felt a pain on their faces at the same time!
Before my brain could react, I saw a red slap mark appear on the other person's face.
Brian: ? ?
Mark Beth: ? ?
Kira eating melon: ? ?
"Such noise, you two!"
Suddenly, Timalia's impatient voice rang in my ears: "What are you doing? Are you old friends reminiscing about the past? Where do you think this is? This is the competition site! Not a cafe!!"
The three of them turned around at the same time, only to see that the other people around them, even the judges and the audience were staring at the two people quarreling, with expressions full of curiosity and vigilance on their faces.
Kira immediately took a half step back to show that he was not with them, but was just a spectator standing closer.
"You woman! ! ..."
Brian was about to roar when he felt pain on his face again. This time, the red mark from the slap appeared on his other face.
“…”
How did this woman do it?!
Markbeth looked at Timaria fearfully: "Is this time pause?! What a terrible magic! ! There is absolutely no time to react! ! "
While the two men were being beaten by Dimalia, the audience was whispering and talking about Brian and Markbeth.
They knew that Markbeth was a prisoner of the 'Six Demon Generals', but they were not very clear that Brian was the leader of the 'Six Demon Generals'. But now seeing and hearing the two quarreling, they immediately understood what was going on.
"' Witch 's Sin' is fine, but what about 'Crow's Tail'? How can this kind of person be rated as a 'Guild of Light'? And they even managed to register for the tournament. This is outrageous! Are the people who organized this tournament blind?!"
Voices like these spread among the audience, and the atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became strange.
Yi Ye had seen Brian before and knew how powerful he was, so he looked at him with fear.
If Bryan were allowed to wreak havoc in the competition, or even cause safety problems for other contestants, he would definitely regret not standing up and opposing Bryan from participating.
So Yi Ye looked at Kira. Among the eight contestants, Kira was the only one who was strong enough and worthy of his trust. After all, it was Kira who defeated Brian.
"Kirasan, this guy..."
"Don't worry! He can't cause any trouble!"
Kira shook his head: "Let them settle the feud between them themselves!"
"In today's game!"
