Whoosh whoosh whoosh-
Thud thud thud-
The figures of Erza and Kagula flickered like phantoms, moving everywhere through the crowd.
Each time they flashed to a spot, a sword light would appear in the air, accompanied by a scream.
Those who charged forward, whether ordinary lackeys or the Six Arms with strength equivalent to Adamantite-ranked adventurers, were all instantly killed.
After a few seconds, the ground was littered with corpses lying in all directions.
The only one still standing was the bald man who hadn't made a move yet.
"…"
Climb, who had already assumed a stance ready to unleash a sword technique, saw that the enemies had all fallen before he could even act. His heart was instantly swept by towering waves of shock.
"So... so strong!"
"Even the Six Arms were dealt with so easily..."
Climb looked at the corpses of several Six Arms' members lying in pools of blood, swallowed with a dry throat, and spoke in amazement.
The expression on Brain's face was equally dramatic.
At this moment, in Brain's field of vision, the figures of Erza and Kagura seemed immensely tall and majestic, inspiring both awe and fear.
'On the same level as Shalltear and Sebas!'
'Fairy Tail... what exactly is their origin?'
Brain looked at Kenichi, Erza, and Kagura, inwardly shocked.
If he hadn't previously interacted with Sebas, he would probably have fallen into despair again by now.
While Climb and Brain were inwardly shocked, the Eight Fingers' executives observing from the second floor were now fleeing in panic.
"What kind of monsters are these people?!"
"Even the strongest Six Arms were killed so easily!"
"We're going to be killed! Get out of here quickly!"
…
Seeing the Eight Fingers' executives fleeing in panic, Brain immediately snapped out of his shock and called out to Climb: "Climb! Leave this place to Fairy Tail. We'll handle the executives upstairs!"
However, Climb seemed not to hear Brain's words. He just stared in shock at the large number of corpses on the ground, as if still immersed in the shock.
"Climb!"
Seeing Climb unresponsive, Brain shouted his name.
Only then did Climb recover and follow Brain as they charged into the building.
"You really act like I don't exist!"
The sole remaining standing bald man, seeing Brain and Climb ignore him and go straight to chase the executives, felt his anger instantly overwhelm his shock.
After roaring, he raised his heavily muscled arms.
"Leopard!"
"Tiger!"
"Eagle!"
…
With each shout from the bald man, the animal tattoos on his body seemed to come alive. They all emitted a light and made the cries of leopards, tigers, and eagles.
"Die!"
After activating all the animal tattoos on his body, the bald man gained the attributes of these animals.
He didn't hesitate at all. His body pounced towards Brain and Climb like a fierce tiger.
"So fast!"
Brain and Climb, who were charging forward, saw the bald man reach them in the blink of an eye. Their faces both changed dramatically.
"Your opponent is me!"
Kenichi's figure appeared in front of the bald man as if he had teleported.
Just as the bald man's heavily muscled fist was about to strike Kenichi, a bone-chilling cold aura emanated from around Kenichi's body.
Bzzzt-
In just the blink of an eye, the previously imposing bald man was frozen into an ice sculpture by the piercingly cold air.
"Frozen?!!"
Climb and Brain, looking at the motionless bald man sealed within the ice, both looked as if they had seen a ghost, their faces filled with horror.
'Instantly freezing a hero-level person into an ice sculpture... what tier of magic is this?'
'5th tier? 6th tier?... Or magic that surpasses the human domain!'
'As expected, the members of Fairy Tail are anything but ordinary!'
Although Brain was extremely shocked inwardly, he didn't forget the task he needed to do most right now.
Soon, he and Climb charged into the building.
After Brain and Climb's figures disappeared, the ice sealing the bald man instantly turned into a large number of sparkling, star-like ice crystals.
The bald man within the ice also turned into ice crystals along with the sculpture, ultimately vanishing completely.
"So, is it over now?"
Erza sheathed the long sword in her hand and came to Kenichi's side with Kagura, asking.
"Ah, our work here is done."
"Now only Wendy's side remains."
Kenichi turned to look at the moon in the sky, thinking to himself: 'Wendy's side might not be so easy.'
Although all the Six Arms of the Eight Fingers were gathered at the stronghold where Kenichi was, from what Kenichi knew, Nazarick's Entoma and Mare would go to the stronghold assigned to Gagaran and Wendy.
Although Entoma wasn't particularly strong, Mare, however, was a Level 100 Floor Guardian of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
With just Wendy, Carla, and Gagaran, they simply couldn't defeat Mare.
But Kenichi wasn't overly worried about Wendy.
Because he had already notified Irene and Mirajane beforehand.
If any problems arose, they were to immediately support Wendy.
