At the auction house, there were more than a few of the organizations that had attended.

Including Viper's Venom, there were more non-criminal organizations that had joined the fray.

The representative of the Merchant Guild was present, seated in the elevated room, surrounded by a group of seemingly experienced escorts.

This auction was hosted by one of the traveling merchants under the Merchant Guild. It was held after the MMA Tournament had begun to near its semi-finals, making it more plausible for the contenders to buy something from their items.

It was what Dokuji had concluded, observing the wide array of people seated as he was one of the people seated in the elevated room, a room filled with VIPs, albeit he was not one of them, he was granted special access by the mayor who was seated beside the Merchant Guild's representative, Rex Goldenburg.

“It seems like this city looks quite better than before.” The blonde man spoke, his voice soft but arrogant, looking through the openi

    In the auction house, people began to raise their hands and bet on the current item. Many were interested as the price started from half a million to five billion within ten seconds of being displayed. It was a normal yet large-looking handgun with the capability to fire Ice Bullets. Surely, it would be common, however, the design, description, and name were too similar to be a coincidence. Perhaps this was a plot by the Mayor and the Viper's Venom to catch the Red Trackers off guard.However, to Magi's speculations, even those who sat above were confused. Dokuji, Michael, and even Ruriko made faces that grimly looked at the weapon. It was similar to the one Magi was using, and if there was no mistake about it, they were sure that Magi had already changed his magi, speculating that Magi had sold the weapon to Rex. “That weapon, did someone sell it to you?” Dokuji took the initiative to ask, his voice soft as his eyes remained vigilant. “Ah. That one? Yes. That weapon was bought

    As the auction went on, the Red Trackers ended up buying two items, with both Cian and Kira selecting one item that piqued their interest. Ruriko made no new purchases after she had bought the Glazier while Michael and Dokuji remained silent the whole duration of the auction. Most of the items were bought by other people without organizations, which made the auction go smoothly. The auction ended on a good note and early afternoon. Rex Goldenburg had to leave just as early to continue his expedition to hunt for an artifact. The Mayor, Michael had sent off Rex with his best regards with gifts that he deemed useful for Rex such as a phone which he had never had before. Ruriko had known that Rex was from the Light Magistrate, and his kind had yet to accept the rapid innovation of technology, trying to remain in their ancient ways of merchants and adventurers.It was known to everyone how important Rex was as a representative of the Merchant Guild as they were the richest organizatio

    ”Was it really okay sending him on his own?” Kira had her doubts about such an idea, but with Magi having authority over his brother, she couldn't attest to it.Magi knew that he was the only one that could even get in contact with Ruriko without a problem. Besides, it was Kurumi who had made the others agree.”We’ve been there before. Although I could have gone with him there, Cian himself insisted to go alone.” Kurumi crossed her arms, her weird position on the chair catching everyone’s attention as she straddled it as it was turned around.There were five people in the training room of the Red Trackers. Kira, Vincent, Magi, Kurumi, and Saeko. Violet was still working on certain things like Magi’s Grant as they continued to constantly look for a match on the Grant’s data. Sabrine was at Teresa’s place, sent by Magi to assist her after the number of their customers skyrocketed.”Who knows? Maybe he wants to fool around as well. I mean, he’s a man so he definitely has some needs as w

    *** “Ugh... A-Achoo!”Immediately sitting up, Cian sneezed as he rubbed his eyes open. He remembered losing consciousness at the bath as his eyes widened, frantically looking at his body.“H-Huh? I have clothes...” Cian was already wearing the clothes he had, seemingly cleaned and rather bathed in a sweet fragrance. He scanned the room that he was in and saw a desk beside the bed. There was a note placed, and just as he was about to take it, he would notice someone move from the other side of the bed.It was Mia, it seems like she had fallen asleep in a chair. Although Cian didn't know the reason why she was there, he would stand up and put a blanket to cover her up, letting her comfortably sleep.“Geez. What the hell just happened though?”Just as he took the note and opened it, he was able to notice that it was dark from outside the window. It was already night. He remembered going here after lunch.“I must have passed out for hours...”He was calm for some reason, looking at Mia

    Before the day had ended, Cian left Ruriko's house at a late hour, giving his farewells to both Ruriko and Mia before he left. Cian felt that Ruriko became more open and genuine with him as they talked, making him feel a bit satisfied besides the fact that he was able to get the weapon without doing anything special.He went home shortly as Magi greeted him at the entrance of the headquarters despite it being past midnight. He was waiting there, leaning against the door of the headquarters, his arms crossed and his eyes looking dead straight at Cian as he walked near.“...”Cian stopped right before him, yet Magi didn't greet him. It was but a short moment of silence as each of them looked at the other.As seconds passed, Cian slowly lost his composure, becoming impatient as he stomped. Perhaps Magi was asleep with his eyes open, but he was sure that he is conscious. “Oi! I'm here. What's the silent treatment for?” Cian exclaimed. “——You smell like her now. That Ruriko woman.” Magi

    At the colosseum, the tension in the air had caused the people to silence themselves as they waited for the countdown of the start of the fight. It seemed like the fight would be decided on who would make the first move, and just as the audience broke into a cold sweat, the host brings his raised hand down.“FIGHT!”The barriers were lifted and the restrictions were gone just as both of them were. Kira began to run toward her right and Asa also did the same thing, causing them to become trapped at a stalemate as they both rotated at the same time. However, Kira stopped at the spot where Asa was before, claiming the space she had teleported in.At first, the audience and the host were unsure of the reasons for their action, yet soon they would notice it.“Huh?! It's been 5 seconds in and no one has activated their ability nor used their Grants!”The host himself announced as time went on, surprisingly in which both are aggressive fighters, becoming passive towards each other.“They'

    “With the Red Trackers being down to two members, will they be able to last until the very end of this tournament!?”After Kira's delivery to the hospital, the tournament kept on going. Sabrine remained seated among the audience as her right eye glowed, seemingly wearing digital contacts as she kept her eye still. The host announced the continuation of the matches as if nothing happened.“Kira was transferred to a hospital. The others are already there. I'm sure she'll be fine. You guys must focus on your fights.”Sabrine muttered to herself, her voice only hearing her voice as the audience began to cheer louder and louder.“I know. Kira lowered her guard. There are many things that we don't know yet. They have the advantage in terms of information, but I have no intentions of letting up.”Magi's voice spoke into the earpiece Sabrine had on her ear. It was illegal to have real-time communication with the outside world before their match, however, Magi was able to slip in a device tha

    With Kurumi winning the following match, the audience cheered as Kurumi made her dramatic exit, lifting her fist as she was teleported out of the arena.Everyone imitated her as her name was cheered on, becoming something of an idol for the masses. For the audience to finally witness the use of multiple elements, it was like watching a hero be born from the fights.Perhaps, she wasn't one, but for the masses that saw her determination to win even against an invisible obstacle, she overcame it.“Whoa! The matches are getting interesting! I can't believe that the past ones are being overshadowed by the following ones! Are we going to finally get a winner from another organization?! Will the Red Trackers make their way into the finals?!”Those questions were said by the host to hype the audience and answered by mixed people as they were divided. Some were in disbelief, and some believed that they could win.This was but entertainment for them after all, but for those fighting, it was a

    Chapter 161 "Go back to Newyark after this is done, huh? I suppose I'm being treated like a Deux Ex Machina."Whispering above the roofs of the building, Magi kept himself hidden from the eyes of those who were below him. The Brainless were everywhere as few of them survived, moving towards the office as a battle ensued right outside it, wrecking the place open.However, in his position, he could also see Cian, trapped in a barrier with Mia. It looked like it was because of their technology, however, that wasn't something that they would normally do. "An evil man like me cannot be the hero of this day."Cian fired his pistol, his bullet breaking the barrier instantly before Cian could attempt to stab himself with his bare hands. Cian was startled at first as Magi observed him, but his eyes immediately went in his direction, looking up with a look of gratitude. Even after all this, Cian was still nonchalant with his actions. He still cannot believe that they were twins in blood.T

    Chapter 160: "Watch out!"Barely keeping up with Dokuji's speed, Sumire and the others couldn't get closer to force him into a close combat battle as they tried to dodge his attacks.His ranged attacks were too powerful for them to normally dodge as each slash would alter the terrain and create such a large breeze."I can't use my Blood Shackles on him. If anything else, I could use it if he was his normal size!"As Michael stood behind Kalina and Saeko, he was being protected by the ladies.It was far-fetched for a man like him to be useless right now, but he had to admit that he can't do the physical feats they can do right now. As he is now, he'll be a burden if he tried to help them."Tsk. We gotta close the gap somehow. Two people aren't enough to stop him."Sumire's assessment of the situation was right as all of them nodded in agreement. Sumire, Saeko, and Kalina might be able to stop him even by a moment if they worked together, however, that meant leaving Michael to his o

If we spend too much time here, we'll lure the other Brainless in!"As they looked around, their battle was beginning to attract the other Brainleas that survived their battles, gathering up near them as they slowly walked up them.Their men had been slowly wiped out by the others. However."Boss!"As a voice called them from below, three surging arrows would whistle out as it splits the wind, hitting the other Brainless right into their eyes as they fall, defeated with one arrow each. Their heads were impaled through the eye. This was but an easy fit for someone capable of contr

    "R-Red?!"Before her, was the almost disgusting sight of Red whose body was half rotten. On his back, there was a tube that seemed to be suctioning something out of his neck, delivering it to a machine that seemed to produce material on a tube.It was a purple substance that dripped down into a tube that glowed, and as far as Kurumi knew about it, this could be the substance that that Brainless runs with as their blood. "Kekeke... You aren't supposed to be here...""—?!"From behind, a voice suddenly spoke, laughing silently as he lurked within the dark corner of the basement.His eyes glowed green and each of his steps sounded metallic as it stomped into the concrete floor.Kurumi had her guard up, her magic flowing in the environment as she was ready to cast magic."Sniff... Sniff... That's a sweet smell. Do you mind if I...?"Just as the crazed man stepped out of the shadows, he began to suck in air with his mouth, and just as he did, Kurumi felt like her magic was being sucked i

    Chapter 157 "Just where the heck are they all coming from?!"Amidst their travel towards the red light, Michael and his mercenary companions encountered yet another group of Brainless.They've been seeing almost countless numbers of Brainless inside the city, and if they were to be released and known to the public, his image was good as gone. Rather, his image was already gone when the whole attack began. As the mayor of this city, he shouldn't have let those criminals fool him in the first place."Tch. Mayor! Go ahead, I'll have my team take care of this! You are to assist the Boss!"The leader of the mercenary group would wield their Grants, taking on the three Brainless with his other companions. He pointed in the direction where the red light originated, urging him to rush."Alright!"Michael nodded in response, following through with their suggestions.Their group of twenty became reduced as similar encounters would happen, leaving Michael with the last three mercenaries that

    "Heh. What's wrong? You're making a sad face when you're winning. Are you pitying me?!"Looking at the skies, Violet stood there with a sad expression. Her expression kept quiet for a moment as if grieving someone."Oi! Face me when I'm talking to you—"Unsheathing her blade, Violet had already taken two steps past her. It was all too fast. Violet was just a few meters in front of Asa earlier, but now, she was walking past her, stopping before long.But only then she realized that something happened as Violet sheathed her blade away."GUAAAAAGH!"Her right arm fell off, rolling down as a lifeless limb. No blood came out, but only immense pain came with it as she saw the organic parts that were the inner parts of her limb. "You won't die even if I cut your limbs. This blade severs the limb but prevents the blood from going out of the wound. It was a blade for surgical operations, yet perhaps, for Gods."Asa rolled on the ground as she held her severed arm, crying out as it turned

    "That's everyone.""Yep—. Pretty much."Dusting away his hands, Vincent would respond to Kira as they wiped the floor with the enemies. With Kira using her abilities more proficiently with range, Vincent didn't have to constantly teleport in and out, treating Kira as some kind of explosive whenever she attacks. "Let's go."After all that, they entered the backdoor, and just as they thought that things were going smoothly, the corridor was blocked by Sentient Guards."Oh no," Vincent muttered.There were five of them and with both Kira and Vincent blacklisted, they all fired on sight.With less than enough space to dodge, Vincent quickly held Kira by the shoulder and blinked past them."Run!"Both of them ran deeper into the corridor and took a turn, hoping that it would be the way to the office.The Sentient Guards dashed to follow them, but as soon as they took the turn as well, the two were already out of sight, proceeding to clear the corridors."..."Vincent and Kira were able t

    The Fool Who Dares To Wield The Blade

    Chapter 154 "You're not going out alive."Standing before Cian, Violet, and Mia was Asa Narasu. She was the only remaining enemy and with her absorbing the blood of the Brainlesses as her weapons, she might as well be the final boss of this fight. "That's stupidly overpowered!"Cian muttered to himself observing Asa wield that kind of power.The blood around her flossed and encircled her in a sphere and if any of them were to be caught in it, their powers would be disabled. "Oh? That's troublesome. I might have to put this one away."Although, as Narash had the Blood Shackles on, the flames that were enveloping her hands and the Gravity Magic that made her afloat became weaker, seemingly reacting to the Blood Shackles' ability to disrupt magic itself. They all knew that it was an ability that made a mage a normal person if they made contact with it, however, seeing Asa have trouble using it with other abilities meant that it wasn't built to be along with another.It made Cian thi

    The Final Boss?

    "Hup...!"Jumping out of a portal, Magi would end up on another roof again, avoiding confrontation with the others as he helped them from a distance. He was able to get an array of weapons from the helicopter before it exploded such as a pistol and an automatic firearm which was a type he never had used before. He knew weak weapons like this wouldn't work against wouldn't work on Brainless, but he had something that most of the people in the fight don't have. He had deadeye accuracy, and when it comes to the Brainless's weakness, it was the eyes.There was one problem, however. "This is troublesome..."As he aimed down on the surface, there was still a thick cloud of smoke coming out of almost everywhere. He could barely see Cian as he had his back against a building, facing three Brainless that were running after him. Considering the air and the distance, Magi estimated that the bullet would travel less than a second and hit the Brainless, but if he misses, the distance between
