——Under the bright white lights of the closed restaurant, Teresa confronted Mia.

“We've long known. We even thought that you were also in it.”

“——I was. But that's because I had no choice! He's my father!”

Mia would click her tongue, annoyed and disheartened. She was indeed the daughter of her father but she was powerless to do anything about the things he does behind the scenes.

Michael has tried to keep his actions under wraps from his daughter but Mia had long known way before since he decided to bring her to watch the tournament.

Albeit she was robbed of her childhood by being homeschooled and locked in their house, she found a distraction by inventing.

Mia's pride came from the skill she had from being a prodigy at inventing, but it was not enough for her to gather the courage to face her father and go against him.

“That's why... if I can't go against him. I'll have someone else do it for me. I know everything about him, but not his connections with the organizations. He takes e

    ——After that massive incident, the tournament was halted due to technical issues. The barriers were damaged and needed to be repaired for days, and the culprit that had caused such destruction began to be searched high and low as the entirety of Moonblight feared the figure.Cian was investigated and briefed about his encounter with the figure. All the magic that they detected that launched off the charts was found to be from the figure that appeared as Cian's opponent in the Colosseum. After that investigation, Cian was then released as he had nothing that he knew about that figure other than being incapacitated. He couldn't tell anyone about his current state, of how his seals were gone, yet his ability remained composed inside.Walking out of the Colosseum, Magi, and Kira, Teresa had waited outside since morning. People had been urged to go home after the tournament was on hold until the barriers and the Sentient Guards were in top condition. “——What happened in there? We tho

    ——As Magi and the others carefully tread the way home, they felt a sudden occupancy in the area. It was just a block of an abandoned building, a convenient coincidence if they were to be ambushed here. However, with Cian is given a heads-up by Dokuji, he informed the others of the possible attack.“——Hmph. To think that you got out. The prison wasn't so kind to you, were they?”Walking out of the shade of the hanging roof on the side of the building, the figure who hid underneath it would reveal itself. “...Toru.”Magi was the one who called him out as he detected his presence. They all knew of his ability to conceal his presence, yet he chose to confront them.“I'm no exception to the system of punishment. Even an immortal like me would have a scar.”Across Toru's face, was a thread sewn obliquely. It added a type of aesthetic to his look, yet it looked tight and constantly bled and regenerated. It was a reminder of what prison was like. “Prisoners can become lab rats. I'm sure

    “——I have an idea!”“What?”In a few moments, they exchanged blows with each of their opponents, Magi and Kira regrouped as they stepped back from the fight. Their opponents Toru and the Scissor Twins kept on advancing, preventing them from running away. “Where are you going?”Slowly taking each step forward, Toru would utter as he waved his blade, stretched his arms, and casually gazed at Magi. His eyes were laser-focused on him, cracking his neck as they kept on slowly advancing. “I'll use my Gravity Magic in several ways, but I'll need your help. You have to——”“I already know. Just go.”“——Why did I even ask?”Scoffing at her question, Kira would regret trying to tell him the plan. If he said he already knows, he already knew it. There was no doubt about that.“Hmm... Be on your guard, kids. You don't mess with adults like them.”Toru would see Magi move forward, ahead of Kira as if they had a plan. It was obvious after they talked to each other that even if briefly. “Hmph! S

    After the Scissor Twins were left behind after Toru's demise, Magi would begin to wonder where Cian had been after he left with Teresa after she was wounded. Cian promised to come back after he had brought Teresa back to the headquarters, but he was yet to return to the already finished battle. "Where did he—" Just as Magi was to ask, a figure dashing in a flame-like form would arrive, it was Cian in his Phantom Drive. "I'm sorry, I'm late!"He apologized, bowing a bit as he slowly began to realize the results of their battle. He was able to see the defeated twin kneeling before Magi, their eyes drowned out by their own tears. While Toru was nowhere to be seen. "Did you guys—?"Cian would ask as he looked at both of them, and only Magi would nod, affirming his thoughts that Toru had been defeated. "I see."There were no words needed to relay the facts, all he needed was a simple confirmation. "Let's go. Now that the tournament is canceled, all kinds of attacks like this will ha

    Magi and Cian made their way through the winding streets of the northern part of the city, their footsteps echoing on the cobblestone. It was a quiet and peaceful part of town, far removed from the chaos and violence that plagued the rest of the city.As they approached the Oracle's house, they could see the overgrown garden and the small, dilapidated building that housed the powerful seer."Are you sure this is the right place?" Cian asked, his voice laced with uncertainty. "It doesn't exactly look like the home of someone who can peer into the future.""That's because she's not like most people," Magi replied, his voice low. "Kyoumi is a powerful and mysterious figure, but she's also known to be unstable and unreliable. We have to be careful when dealing with her."Cian nodded, his expression serious. They had to be careful, but they also needed answers. They couldn't afford to be too cautious.As they approached the door, they could hear the sound of soft chanting coming from insid

    —Stopped at the front door, Leonis had arrived in Moonblight, going straight to the house of the oracle. "Yes, I gave them a divination," Kyoumi said, her voice thoughtful. "But I'm afraid I can't share the details with you. Their divination must remain private, for their own safety.""I understand," Leonis said, his voice sincere. "I'm just worried about them. They're my friends, and I want to make sure they're okay. Is there anything you can tell me?"Kyoumi hesitated for a moment before finally sighing. "I can tell you that their past is shrouded in mystery," she said, her voice low. "There is something blocking me from seeing it, something beyond my understanding. It's as if their past is being hidden from view, deliberately."Leonis's brow furrowed at Kyoumi's words. "That's strange," he said, his voice thoughtful. "I've never heard of anything like that before. Do you have any idea what could be causing it?"Kyoumi shook her head. "I don't know," she said, her voiceheavy with

    "Our next move would have to be decisive. Right now, we've been able to deal a blow to the Black Skull's roster. They attacked us and ended up losing. Yuuta and Yuuri were sent to Teresa's supervision after they said they didn't want to go back, now that they failed more than twice. Either we wait for them to recover, or we strike now."Days later in the headquarters, the Red Trackers once again took the liberty to regroup. Everyone was present."I know I've been out for some time but isn't this too random? We can't forget that they are allied with the Viper's Venom, not to mention that they hired people from Pandemonium?"Evan would voice his thoughts, finally being able to contribute to the party. He had been busy with the hospital as more injured patients came in, it was certain that it was the organization's doing as they were all contestants in the tournament. "That's exactly why we need to strike now," Magi said, determination in his voice. "We can't let them recover and come

    With Clint knocked unconscious, Nel was the only one facing Magi and Cian. However, Magi was beginning to feel his magic feeling ripped out of his body. The residual Ice Magic was still there and was trying to impose the debt of using such an ability.“——Ngh.” He groaned. He could feel his joints being frozen once more. He didn't know that there would be residuals of his former magic, an effect that he had overlooked.“Are you alright? Did he get you?” Cian asked as his voice was laced with worry. “No. Don't mind me. I'll set the portals, you can do your thing. You know how our new style goes.”Holding his chest, Magi would bear with the pain, trying to shake it off. “Just in case you guys are forgetting, I'm not alone.” As the twins conversed, Nel would call out as reinforcement arrived.They were armed with Grants that seemed to be different than the last, with all of them having the same appearance. “——What are those?!” Cian was clueless about those intimidating weapons.

    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
