"Come out! I know you're here!"
After Lyon and Sherry left, Jura shouted behind him.
Rumble!
The ground suddenly began to flow and spin like liquid, causing one to lose balance.
Jura immediately stabilized his body, hardened the ground beneath his feet, and flicked his finger.
Bang... Bang...
Several stone pillars shot towards Hoteye.
Hoteye raised his hand, and all the stone pillars disintegrated like flowing water, scattering around him.
"As expected of a Wizard Saint. So many Mages attacked you, yet you weren't harmed in the slightest. Even after the battle ended, your body still retains powerful magic."
"I'll ask again: my magic can soften earth, while yours hardens it. So, which one is more powerful?"
Jura said with a determined expression, "This has nothing to do with the superiority or inferiority of magic. Only those with strong convictions can win."
Hoteye shook his head. "Completely wrong. Victory always belongs to the wealthy."

"Open! Gate of the Scorpion, Scorpio!"
Angel waved her hand, summoning the Celestial Spirit Scorpio, a cool guy who looked very hip-hop, with a laser cannon for a scorpion tail.
"Deal with them, Scorpio."
Scorpio placed his hands on the ground, his tail aimed at the Blue Pegasus members.
Sand Buster!
Whoosh!
A violent sand tornado shot from his tail, rushing towards the four members of Blue Pegasus.
"Ugh!"
"Wah!"
The bodies of several people were swept up by the sand tornado, and for a moment, the world spun.
Bang... Bang...
Several people fell to the ground. They were already badly injured, and now they didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Ahahaha! How boring, to be defeated so easily. Oh! Let me show you something interesting."
Angel took out a key. "Open! Gate of the Ram! Aries!"
A shy, very cute girl with sheep horns, looking delicate and charming, was summoned.
"This is... Karen's Celestial Spirit. Why are you controlling Karen's Celestial Spirit?"
Hibiki gritted his teeth, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Karen was once a member of Blue Pegasus, often summoning Aries in the guild, so they naturally knew her.
"Because I killed her, this is a trophy from that time, you know." Angel patted Aries' head.
"You were her lover, weren't you? Then it must be very interesting to kill you all with your former lover's Celestial Spirit."
"Do it, Aries, take them down."
"Yes... Yes..."

Deep within the forest
"Found it! Brain-sama! We found Nirvana!"
Someone shouted excitedly, running towards Brain.
Brain's face immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise upon hearing this. "Where is it?! Quickly take me there!"
"Yes!"
This subordinate quickly led Brain towards the location of Nirvana.
A short while later, they arrived at a very secluded area where many people had already gathered. It was a giant tree, secured by chains.
Brain excitedly stepped forward, gently touching the tree with his palm, feeling the magical fluctuations emanating from it.
"Yes... yes! This is it! Nirvana! I finally found it!"
"OHHHHHH!"
The surrounding Dark Guild members all cheered upon hearing Brain's words.
—
"What a bunch of good-for-nothings. Dawdling around, taking so long to defeat these guys."
"I... I'm sorry..."
"Forget it, I'll do it myself."
Angel, seeing that Aries hadn't managed to deal with the few people for a long time, decided to take matters into her own hands.
Just then, Brain's voice echoed in her mind.
"Angel, come here, Nirvana has been found."
Angel immediately showed a look of pleasant surprise upon hearing this. Oración Seis had been searching for Nirvana for so long and now, they had finally found it.
Angel glanced at the Blue Pegasus members lying on the ground, unable to move. "Hmph, consider yourselves lucky."
She turned and left.
—
Jura and Hoteye continued their battle. Their magic countered each other, and both had very high levels of magic power, so neither could gain an advantage in a short time.
"Hoteye, come here, Nirvana has been found." Brain's voice echoed in Hoteye's mind.
Hoteye stopped. "It seems the battle can only end here for now."
Jura narrowed his eyes. "What do you mean?"
"Because of money. Something even more valuable has appeared."
After Hoteye finished speaking, the ground beneath his feet surged like ocean waves, carrying his body away quickly.
"Ran away?"
Seeing Hoteye leave before a winner was decided, Jura had a bad feeling.

"Damn it! Why can't I hit this guy!"
Natsu and Gray attacked Cobra, but Cobra toyed with them.
Cobra said proudly, "As I said, because of my hearing magic, I can hear your thoughts, so I know your actions."
Erza frowned. "Thoughts... Is it similar to Warren's Telepathy Magic? If so..."
Requip: Heaven's Wheel Armor!
Blumenblatt!
Swords shot towards Cobra, who quickly dodged.
The next instant, Erza appeared behind Cobra.
"What?!"
Cobra hadn't heard Erza's thoughts at all.
Pfft!
Cobra quickly dodged, but his arm was still cut.
Erza looked at Cobra and said, "You can hear other people's thoughts, so I can just empty my mind and fight based on my body's instincts."
Cobra's eyes narrowed slightly, emitting a dangerous light. His injury made him realize he couldn't underestimate this woman.
Just as he was about to unleash his true power—
"Cobra, come here, Nirvana has been found."
Cobra heard Brain's voice in his mind, and his eyes gleamed with surprise.
"I'll let you off this time. The next time we meet will be your death. Cubellios!"
Cobra shouted, and the purple serpent's body became enormous, simultaneously growing a pair of wings. Cobra stepped onto the serpent's back, and the serpent carried him into the air, flying towards the distance.
"Don't run!"
Natsu immediately wanted to chase after him.
Erza stopped Natsu. "Don't rush, Natsu, be careful of an ambush."
Now, several people were quite injured, and their stamina and magic power were greatly depleted. It would be bad if they encountered an ambush from the enemy.
Rumble!
Just then, a gigantic black pillar of light shot up into the sky.
Takeshi looked towards the pillar of light, his expression calm. "Have they found it?"
