"Ugh!"
Brain, who was searching for Nirvana in another part of the Endless Tree Sea, felt a sharp pain in his Brain.
"Racer... he's dead. Has a corner of Oración Seis collapsed?"
Brain's expression immediately tensed, his body trembled uncontrollably, and a black texture on his face slowly faded away.
"Damn Light Guild! Always meddling and getting in our way!"
Brain glanced at Midnight beside him. Midnight was the strongest of Oración Seis, his strength surpassing the others.
"Should I wake him up?"
Brain somewhat wanted to wake Midnight and have him kill those guys from the Light Guilds.
"No! He is the last resort. If this trump card is gone, then it'll be terrible." Brain quickly dismissed this idea.
With Midnight's strength, he might be able to take out everyone else, but he had no confidence against Takeshi.
Takeshi had defeated two Wizard Saints and could even suppress the Celestial Spirit King. He was a complete monster. If it was just Midnight alone, it wouldn't be enough to defeat that monster.
If he lost Midnight, his trump card, finding Nirvana would become very troublesome.

The four members of Blue Pegasus encountered attacks from a large number of enemies.
After a bitter struggle, they defeated all the enemies, but were also covered in wounds. Before, several of them couldn't even help and were instantly defeated by Oración Seis. Finding an opportunity, they vented all their anger and frustration on these guys.
"Speak! Where is your base?" Ren grabbed the opponent's collar and asked.
Although the magic bomber Christina had crashed, if they knew the enemy's base, gathering the allied forces for a surprise attack would greatly increase their chances of victory.
Just then—
Whoosh!
A laser suddenly shot towards them.
"Watch out!" Hibiki immediately warned.
Boom!
"Ugh!"
"Wahhh!"
The laser projectile landed between Eve and Ren, erupting in a violent explosion. The powerful blast impact caused the two to scream in pain and fall to the ground.
They were already somewhat injured, and with the recent impact, the two could only curl up on the ground, unable to get up.
"Eve! Ren!"
Hibiki called out to the two.
"Oh? Did I miss? I originally intended to pierce through both their bodies. It seems my aim isn't quite good enough." Angel emerged from behind a tree.
"It's you!"
"Angel!"
The others recognized her identity. They didn't expect her to appear at such a terrible moment.
"What now? The two strongest among you are down. You're in major crisis. Hahahaha..."
Elsewhere, the three members of Lamia Scale, Jura, Lyon and Sherry safely defeated all their opponents.
"The ruined village to the west?"
"An ancient village?"
They easily extracted information about the enemy's base.
"What should we do, Jura-san? Should we launch a surprise attack on their base?" Lyon sought Jura's opinion.
Jura said, "Don't act rashly yet. After all, we've already witnessed how terrifying Oración Seis' strength is. You and Sherry go there first to scout for enemy intel. Once the allied forces are all gathered, we'll attack."
"Then what about you, Jura-san?" Sherry asked curiously.
"A terrifying magic power is approaching this place. I'll stay here to intercept it."
"Is it Oración Seis?!"
Jura nodded. "Yes, it's that guy."
"That guy!"
Lyon and Sherry immediately knew who Jura was referring to—Hoteye. He was the one who had given them so much trouble before.

"Hey! Is everyone alright?"
Lucy and Happy had just hidden behind something.
Lucy could only use Celestial Spirits to fight. The Celestial Spirits summoned by a Celestial Spirit Mage had decent combat power, but she herself might not even be as strong as a grunt, so she only dared to hide behind just now.
Happy, besides being able to fly, had no combat power.
Natsu said breathlessly, "What's going on? These guys aren't small fry."
Looking at these guys, he thought they were all just cannon fodder, but he didn't expect them to be quite difficult to defeat.
"They're surprisingly tenacious."
Gray wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. His situation was similar to Natsu's, he had also been hit by the opponent's magic several times. If Erza hadn't intervened, he might have been knocked out.
"This is the advantage that numbers bring. No matter how careful we are, one mistake can lead to defeat."
Erza herself didn't seem to have changed much, just that her magic power was slightly more depleted.
Just then—
Clap... Clap...
The sound of clapping echoed.
"Who?!"
Everyone looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound, and then saw a man wrapped in a large purple snake appear.
"It's you!"
"Oración Seis!"
Everyone's expressions were serious.
The previous battle was fresh in their memories. Oración Seis truly deserved to be one of the strongest Dark Guilds with just six people. Each member was not to be underestimated.
At this moment, they had just gone through a battle, depleting a large amount of magic power, and their condition was very poor. The timing of the opponent's appearance was terrible.
Cobra grinned. "Wavering. I hear it, your heart's voice."
"Wavering my foot!"
Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!
Natsu clenched his fist and charged at Cobra. Cobra tilted his head to dodge Natsu's punch, then kneed him in the abdomen.
"Ugh!"
Immediately after, he punched Natsu in the jaw, sending him flying backward and falling.
"Natsu!"
Ice Make: Lance!
Gray's hands emitted cold air, unleashing a large number of ice lances.
Seeing this, Cobra calmly walked behind a large tree.
Boom... Boom...
Crack!
The large tree was quickly crushed, and Cobra calmly walked out from behind.
"Tch!"
Seeing his attack dodged so easily, Gray was very displeased.
Cobra said proudly, "I told you, I hear your heart's voice."
Erza said with calm eyes, "Natsu, Gray, don't be impulsive. There's only one opponent, and we have four people. It's our advantage. Don't waste magic power. Respond calmly, and ultimately, we will achieve victory."
Cobra looked at Erza, his expression becoming serious. "As expected of the Fairy Queen. You're not just saying it, you truly believe it in your heart. It seems I'll have to get serious too."
