Chapter 693: The Perfect Match of Eric and Markbeth
"It's started, it's started..."
"Is it finally coming? The showdown between the former dark guild, the 'Six Demon Generals'... "
"Come to think of it, although they were all bad guys in the past, relatively speaking, I now support 'Witch's Sin' more..."
"Isn't this normal? After all, they are a whitewashed guild certified by the Fiore royal family, and the 'Crow's Tail'...is too ugly!"
Amidst the noisy conversations, some people gave a very real reason: for the general public, whether or not to support a magic guild depends on its justice, appearance, and strength.
Up to now, the justice of "Crow's Tail" has not been recognized by the audience, the guild members are not good-looking, and although their strength is not bad, they have been losing, so their popularity is naturally not going up.
In this regard, the Blue Pegasus, which had also been suffering from a setback since the beginning of the competition, because of their identity as the Bright Guild and their high appearance that other guilds cannot match, even though their current results were tied with the Crow's Tail for last place, their popularity was still firmly in the top three.
"It doesn't matter if we lose the game, the important thing is to participate! As long as we are popular!"
The leader of the Blue Pegasus, Bob, was wearing a long pink dress, heavy makeup, and wings on her back. She smiled and comforted her children.
"Thank you so much!!"
"terribly sorry!!"
Yiye and the others were filled with gratitude and bowed to their president together, looking like a family member.
When Kira returned to the guild camp, he heard Natsu and the others discussing the battle that had already begun in the arena.
Happy came over with flapping wings, "Hey, Kira! Who do you think will win?"
Kira pondered for a few seconds, then expressed his thoughts: "I don't know. In terms of hard power, 'Crow's Tail' is stronger, but I personally hope that 'Witch's Sin' can win."
"Eh?? Kira doesn't think highly of Markbeth and Eric?"
"Of course, right? Brian was once the president of the Six Demon Generals. His strength is at least above Saint Ten. What's more, he has a helper. It will be too difficult for the two of them to win the game!"
After a brief analysis, he changed the subject, "Unless there is an off-field belief cheat, for example, at a critical moment like the last move of the competition, we send Ginana to shout "Come on" or "Don't lose" for Eric, then he will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory, right?"
"Um... just by showing support... is this really possible?"
"Of course! Don't underestimate the power of love!!"
In the arena, Brian fought one against two, and beat Markbeth and Eric so hard that they had almost no chance to fight back. The two men's four hands were no match for the other's two fists, and they suffered blows again and again.
"Chang'an Fantasia!!"
“Ah ...
Dark energy whizzed past, and the spiral magic with powerful penetrating properties just brushed past the two men and knocked them to the ground. The severe pain caused them to scream in agony, looking miserable.
"What's wrong? Get up!!"
Brian... no, the inner personality has taken the leading position at this time. His white hair flutters slightly, and his eyes are scarlet. His face is ferocious and his expression is extremely terrifying: "I remember that your strength is more than this, right? Could it be that you have been playing house for the past two years and have been too lazy in practicing magic, so that your strength has declined?"
"No... this won't do..."
"If this is the limit, how can you satisfy my endless desire for destruction?!!"
"Ha ha ha ha!!!"
Brian shouted frantically, his expression distorted, even crazier than the victim who was backstabbed by the yellow-haired minotaur: "Come again! Come again!!"
"I won't stop until I've completely defeated you and destroyed you to the point where not even your bodies are left!!"
Markbeth and Eric did not answer. They got up from the ground covered in dust and dirt. Their unyielding gazes were the last signs of their stubbornness.
The two looked at each other and saw what they were thinking of each other——
"A long battle is not going to be beneficial. We cannot just keep on passively taking the beating. We must take the initiative to attack, otherwise we will never win!"
With their minds made up, Markbeth and Eric acted at the same time. One assisted from behind and blocked the attack of the other; the other took the initiative to approach Brian and launch an attack.
Markbeth is a support. His distortion magic can be used to its full potential when controlled at medium and long distances. Only by standing far enough can he calmly influence Brian's dark magic.
His magic talent was originally above Brian's. After all these years of growth, his magic power had reached Beyond Grade A or even Grade S. As long as he was focused enough, he would have no problem dealing with a few moves of magic like 'Eternal Dark Rondo' and 'Eternal Dark Fantasy'.
Eric naturally took the offensive position. Sound magic gave him an advantage in close combat, and the poisonous dragon-slaying magic also made him not afraid of close combat. Each of his moves contained a strong toxin. Most opponents would be hit if they were not careful, and once hit, it almost meant the end of the battle.
Finally, his physical skills are also stronger than Markbeth's. This is not due to talent or magic, but simply because Eric pays more attention to hard training.
After all, he has a girlfriend...
It can be said that the cooperation between the two is just right!
"Poison|Dragon's Claw!!"
Eric took the lead, and the dark red toxin gathered into a huge hook claw that scratched towards Brian. The claw was swift and fierce, but Brian just slightly turned sideways to avoid it, and at the same time stretched out his hand and sent out a "dark finger".
The sound magic had already noticed it and captured the opponent's movements first, just like activating the observation Haki and being able to predict the future, so Eric quickly lowered his head and dodged.
"Hand of Everlasting Darkness!"
As soon as he lowered his head, a huge hand filled with dark energy broke out of the ground and grabbed his neck.
Eric smiled easily. He had already sensed the attack before him. He immediately gathered magic power in his right hand and hammered it down with all his strength: "Poison Dragon's Iron Fist!!"
It turns out that any Dragon Slayer of any attribute can have an Iron Fist attack.
Powerful magics collided with each other, and Eric was immediately blown away. While in mid-air, Brian's magic attacked again: "Chang'an Obliterate!!"
A large amount of magic bullets gathered from the dark energy were fired at once, bombarding indiscriminately in all directions without distinguishing friend or foe: "Give up, Cobra! I taught you magic and combat techniques, and I know your weaknesses better than you do!"
"This guy... really doesn't even care about his companions..."
Eric was keenly aware that there was Jerome behind him, but Brian didn't care at all . He didn't even look at him and fought with him.
Although sound magic can hear the opponent's plan, Brian's move is aimed at bombing and destruction, and he didn't think about where to hit specifically, so Eric naturally had no way to deal with it. In addition, he was in mid-air with no leverage, so he could only barely cross his arms in front of him to protect his head and heart.
Fortunately, compared to Brian's "not wanting teammates" and his teammates' "standing idly by" and "slacking off", Eric's teammates are very supportive.
“Space distortion!!”
A calm voice suddenly rang in his ears, and Eric felt relieved immediately.
The magic bullet that was originally attacking Eric suddenly changed direction. It was no longer heading towards him, but towards the ground or the sky, or even directly towards Brian.
The audience exclaimed.
"Is this space distorted?! Did that guy named Markbeth distort the space?"
"Distortion magic is really powerful. It can even do something like this..."
Distortion is a concept. How well it can be used depends entirely on the magician's ability. And Markbeth is undoubtedly very suitable for this magic.
Boom boom...
The magic bullet hit the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust and obscuring the view.
Just when Brian was about to attack again, the smoke and dust suddenly dissipated, and what came into view was a huge eight-headed poisonous snake. The poisonous snake was created by magic, and its whole body was covered with dark red poison. Its sixteen fangs looked extremely dangerous!
Brian was stunned for a moment, his mind was shaken: "What's going on? Is Cobra so strong? When did he master this kind of magic..."
boom!!
The eight heads of the venomous snake opened their bloody mouths at the same time and pounced towards Brian. The corrosive toxins dripping onto the ground instantly made the ground bumpy and emitted bursts of terrifying white smoke.
But soon, he realized: "No, this is an illusion of the dark night!"
"I see. So the smoke was stirred up on purpose just to divert the view? What a pity..."
Unfortunately, fake is fake after all, I know your magic very well! Dark Night!
As soon as he closed his eyes, the illusion was instantly shattered!
