You Don't Understand the World of Cheaters

Meanwhile, in the Oración Seis Castle, far from Magnolia.

Eleven and Brain stared at the two magical projections that had suddenly turned into static screens, speechless for a moment, the atmosphere somewhat awkward.

Brain originally intended to show off his grand plan to Eleven, then use overwhelming power to make Eleven despair and shatter his beliefs—a move that perfectly embodied the style of a villainous mastermind.

However, things don't always go as planned...

Before Brain could even explain his crazy plan, a red-haired man appeared on the screen, and the next second his army of thousands vanished...

"Hmph! Looks like Gildarts is back. We're really unlucky." Brain snorted and casually waved his hand to disperse the two projection screens.

Eleven was still a bit dazed. The shift from shock to elation was so rapid that he hadn't even had time to say anything witty to liven things up.

Was that red-haired guy Gildarts?

(ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ Wow, as expected of Gildarts! Mighty! Awesome!

Wait a minute! I was the one who called Gildarts back!

Gildarts killing thousands of people is the same as me killing thousands of people! Gildarts's achievement is my achievement!

Doesn't that mean I'm the greatest person?

I, Eleven! Fairy Tail is still the best!

Then, under Brain's astonished gaze, Eleven's aura surged, his magic power, Spiritual Power, and temperament all soared to a new level, as if he had become a completely different person.

The moment Eleven realized he was just as awesome as Gildarts, he became incredibly arrogant and excited, almost to the point of disregarding Brain.

Brain was filled with amazement, his eyes full of admiration as he looked at Eleven.

I originally thought that Eleven was already very strong for his age, but I didn't expect him to improve even more. He truly deserves to be the genius I've chosen; he's absolutely perfect for joining the Oración Seis.

Thinking this, Brain couldn't help but glance at the other boys and girls from Fairy Tail out of the corner of his eye; each of them possessed a magical talent that was one in a million.

Brain was so jealous that he was practically grinding his teeth in envy that he could only grind his teeth at the sight of such a nonsensical guild, the Light Guild.

But...

"From today onwards, you are all Oración Seis's men!" Brain suddenly revealed a greedy smile.

Brain has two objectives for today's operation: one is to attack Magnolia and seize the powerful magic that Ivan mentioned, and the other is to plunder these geniuses belonging to Fairy Tail.

Brain wasn't particularly interested in the powerful magic Ivan mentioned. Firstly, he didn't trust Ivan much and didn't think Ivan was capable of anything significant; he was just letting Ivan try it out. Brain himself had his own grand plans and didn't need any extraordinary magic.

This time, what Brain really wanted were the super-talented mages from Fairy Tail.

Mysterious and unpredictable mental magic, super-fast Requip Magic, the rare Demon Take Over, and even the long-lost ancient Dragon Slayer — Fairy Tail possesses three of these, making four if you include Cobra.

Giving such power to a mere guild like the Light Guild would be a terrible waste, wouldn't it?

Touching the three lines that had disappeared from his face, Brain revealed a sinister smile, his eyes growing increasingly greedy as he looked at Eleven.

Even if Magnolia's operation completely fails, Brain won't feel any loss. The only losses would be three Oración Seis and a bunch of minions, while he would gain five even more outstanding top geniuses. After some brainwashing and training back home, the Oración Seis's strength would not decrease but increase.

"Heh heh heh, Eleven, do you know why I lured you all here? You really think you're... Pfft!"

Boom!!

Before Brain could finish speaking, he felt a terrifyingly powerful blow to his stomach. The attack carried an irresistible spiraling force, causing his entire body to spin, carving a dazzling pattern in the ground before crashing heavily into the ruins of the castle.

"Telekinesis Spiral Strike!"

A glint of malice flashed in Eleven's eyes, and only after the attack ended and Brain was sent flying did he slowly speak, casually making up a name for a move.

He talks so much nonsense! Doesn't this guy know the saying that villains die from talking too much?

Eleven had no intention of listening to Brain's explanation of his schemes, nor did he give him a chance to jump out of the ruins. Completely disregarding the rules of turn-based combat, he unleashed his Telekinesis recklessly, crashing it down onto the ruins with a thunderous roar.

Although Eleven is a bit arrogant now, he's not stupid. When facing a dangerous enemy like Brain, of course you have to seize the opportunity and beat him to a pulp first!

"Darkness Guard!"

Amidst the thunderous pounding, Brain suddenly roared. A dark green light shield rose from the ruins, blocking Eleven Telekinesis.

"Tch! A protective shield? What a disgusting skill. Luckily, I have one too." Eleven curled his lip, giving Brain a look of disdain.

"Dark Rondo!"

However, the next second, Brain's voice came strangely from behind Eleven. Before Eleven could turn around, a viscous, dark green beam of light engulfed Eleven.

"Heh, it seems you still can't understand my greatness. No problem, I'll train you slowly, Eleven."

Although Brain was somewhat disheveled and covered in dirt from being beaten, he laughed arrogantly. Despite being ambushed by Eleven, Brain didn't believe Eleven possessed the power to contend with him. Compared to his decades of experience in magical arts, this young Eleven was far inferior.

"Cough cough cough, a protective shield plus instant teleportation? That's so sneaky!"

As Brain's magic dissipated, Eleven's displeased voice rang out. A faint layer of light shielded Eleven, protecting him from the corrosive effects of the dark magic.

At this moment, Eleven's gaze towards Brain was not only more wary, but also held a hint of disdain. This guy not only possessed a protective shield, but also knew how to use the teleportation he had always dreamed of. How terrified of death would someone have to be to think of combining these two types of magic!

This is outrageous! I wonder if teleportation is even easy to learn.

Brain wasn't surprised that Eleven caught his skill unharmed. He calmly raised his staff, gathered magic power again, and shot out a spiral beam of dark green light wrapped in flames.

"Genesis Zero!"

Eleven instinctively tried to recreate his Shield to block the attack, but this time Brain's spiral beam had extremely strong penetrating power. Eleven's Telekinesis Barrier only held out for a moment before shattering.

Eleven's pupils contracted, and at the critical moment, he activated his Telekinesis, shifting his body sideways a distance to barely dodge the fatal blow.

But when Eleven looked up again, he found that Brain had already teleported in front of him, a staff hovering directly above his head.

"Choose, Eleven, surrender or die? You cannot win. Don't seek your own death."

Brain's staff touched Eleven's forehead, terrifying magic poised to be unleashed. He didn't expect Eleven to submit on his own; he was merely trying to undermine Eleven's confidence, making it easier for him to brainwash and manipulate him later.

Eleven looked up at the arrogant Brain, then suddenly laughed, "Ha, we can't win? Are you sure?"

"Ah!!"

Just as Eleven finished speaking, a shrill scream suddenly came from behind him, and Brain instinctively looked in that direction.

A young girl with crimson hair stood holding a sword, slowly opening her eyes. Racer, who had just been fighting her, was now flying backward, blood gushing from his chest.

"How is this possible? You can't keep up with my speed at all, how could you possibly hit me?!" Racer roared in disbelief.

Erza one foot on the ground and chased after the flying Racer, completing a Requip in that short moment.

"Requip - Black Wing Armor!"

"Black Feather - Moon Flash!"

Swish! Swish!

Two sword marks flashed across the ground in a cross shape. The already injured Racer had no chance to dodge this fatal blow and was struck squarely by Erza, blood splattering everywhere.

Sheathing her sword, Erza calmly looked at Racer lying at her feet and said, "Your speed is indeed fast, but your movements are too flashy and easy to predict. So I don't need to keep up with your movements; I just need to anticipate where you'll appear next."

Racer: (꒪⌓꒪)

Meanwhile, in another direction, a punk-dressed, effeminate man was being brutally beaten by... well... a demonic female Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The deafening explosions, combined with the flying debris and blood, made the person who was beaten seem even more miserable than Racer.

At this moment, Midnight was completely bewildered, truly unable to understand how he had encountered such a terrifying individual.

The Midnight's Reflector Magic is a spatial magic that can distort and reflect any light, object, or magic. It is an extremely powerful magic, but it has two weaknesses: one is that it cannot affect living beings, meaning it cannot distort the human body; the other is that the space it can manipulate is limited, making it virtually impossible to attack and defend simultaneously.

Then Midnight encountered Mira, and then Midnight was filled with despair.

Mira's Demon Take Over is essentially a form of magic that alters her physical form. During her transformation phase, her entire body transforms into a demonic form, and even her sexy and revealing clothes are merely demonic scales.

So if we delve deeper, Mira was actually completely naked during the battle.

Cough! That's not important!

The key point is that Mira's demonic transformation completely counters Midnight's Reflector Magic; he simply cannot apply magic to Mira.

This isn't actually a big problem; Midnight can also distort the space around Mira to achieve its attack objectives.

However, the demon Mira's madness far exceeded Midnight's imagination. Her frenzied attacks rained down endlessly like a storm, and even when she was knocked away by the distorted space, she would instantly retaliate with a ranged attack.

Thus, the Midnight, unable to defend and unable to attack, was utterly defeated. Mira relentlessly pursued and beat them, offering no chance to retaliate.

"You damned woman! Don't go too far! Don't force me to kill you!" Midnight roared.

"Darkness Stream! Ora Ora Ora!" Mira ignored her completely and took the opportunity to throw several more punches.

Midnight was beaten so badly that he was bleeding out all his health; his twisting magic was no match for Mira's pure physical attacks.

"Damn it! Damn it! Even if Father says he'll spare your lives, I'll still kill you! Taste the terror of this endless Midnight, I'll make you pay for your insolence!!"

Roar!!

With a roar from the Midnight, his body suddenly swelled up, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic monster. The monster hissed and roared, its terrifying claws capable of easily piercing through a human body. Behind it, a sea of crimson blood stained the entire sky, creating a nauseatingly oppressive atmosphere.

This was Midnight's trump card magic, which he usually only used at Midnight to maintain his persona, as it would be more terrifying. He was forced to use it now because he couldn't take Mira's beating anymore.

Within the terrifying sea of blood, the monster's voice was hoarse and ethereal, as if it came from all directions.

"I will make you experience the most desperate fear in the world. I will tear you to pieces, bit by bit, and make you feel endless pain and..."

"Shut up! Get out! Soul Extinctor!!"

A thick, dark wave of light pierced through the heavens and earth, blasting Midnight Path, which had been transformed into a monster, away with a thud as it crashed to the ground.

"Why are you able to see through me?"

Bang!!

Before Midnight could finish speaking, Mira rushed over and kicked him on the Midnight, sending him spinning 3600 degrees and knocking him unconscious.

"Hmph!" Mira snorted coldly, dispelling her demon form and looking disdainfully at Midnight who had been sent flying. "You dare to use an illusion spell of your level? My... cough cough cough... our guild has an illusion master who is countless times stronger than you!"

"You perverted general, get out of my way! Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"Hmph! You're the one getting in the way, aren't you, you stinky brat! Ice-Make - Floor!"

Rumble!

The chilling cold froze the poison on the ground, while the fierce flames ignited the poisonous gas that filled the sky. Erik, standing in the center, was completely bewildered as he experienced the exhilarating sensation of both ice and fire.

Erik could only barely handle one of Natsu or Gray, and had never fought both of them simultaneously. Now, with his mind controlled by Brain, he was lucky to be able to unleash 70% of his power.

Thus, the situation on their side became comical.

The poisonous dragon set its sights on the fire dragon, and the fire dragon charged at it, sending the poisonous dragon flying!

The fire dragon, carried away by its triumph, began to dance!

The Ice-Make disliked him, so he took the opportunity to mock him.

The fire dragon and the Ice-Make are fighting!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Poison Dragon launched a sneak attack on the Ice-Make, Ice-Make turned the tables and defeated the Poison Dragon once again.

The Ice-Make was very pleased with itself, while the fire dragon was extremely unhappy, so...

This line of thinking kept repeating itself endlessly, like it was all a joke. But in this nonsensical battle, Erik almost got beaten to a pulp by Natsu and Gray working together.

Perhaps Brain really underestimated the Fairy Tail mages, or perhaps Natsu and Gray were looked down upon too much in Erik's report, which led to Erik being beaten so badly by the two lowest-ranking members of Fairy Tail's overpowered squad.

"The Poison Dragon's Roar!"

"Who's afraid of who? Fire Dragon's Roar!"

"Ice-Make - Ice and Snow Cannon!"

Boom!!

The purple poison was completely suppressed by the dual attack of ice and fire, gradually weakening until it was extinguished, while Erik was mercilessly knocked away by these two attacks.

"Happy! I beat Erik!"

"Like"

"Tch! What's there to be happy about, Erik, in this state? You idiot!"

"Huh? Who are you talking about? Pervert!"

As Brain watched the battle unfold in several locations, he could no longer maintain his composure. One by one, the life-connecting lines on his face disappeared, and panic finally began to spread across his eyes.

Eleven, who was pinned under the staff, smiled even more brightly, gradually becoming ethereal. Another Eleven silently appeared behind Brain, whispering a teasing remark in Brain's ear.

"I'll give you one more chance. Who did you say couldn't win?"
