It's the last day for Big Demon Master to direct the play.
As George led Leqi and the four into the venue, he noticed that today's audience, in addition to cheering, were also holding small flags with the emblem patterns of the guilds they supported printed on them.
Glancing at the flags from a distance, George was surprised to see that an overwhelming 80% of the flags were emblazoned with the Tail of a Demon.
"Chief, it seems that everyone likes us!"
Listening to the audience shout out their guild names and waving their guild flags, Leqi and the four couldn't help but tear up.
Back then, when they first entered the venue, no one recognized their guild, and there were not many people cheering for them.
Looking around now, it seemed that almost all the audience were their supporters.
All thanks to the Chief; otherwise, with the main force of Tail of the Demon gone and only them left, the guild would have been in a state of loneliness, no one knowing how desolate it would have become.
"There is no love without strength. These are all external. It is the most important to improve one's internal qualities."
George didn't have any special feelings about it, let alone being moved.
He is very rational. The reason the audience cheers for him is simply because they are strong enough; if they were not, they wouldn't even look at you.
That's the reality.
So never get lost in these cheers. Focus on improving your strength is the most important thing.
He has always been reminding himself of this.
In the multiverse, with his current strength, money, power, and beauty are all within reach. There is endless glory and praise.
However, all of them are based on his strength, and strength is the foundation.
"Welcome, everyone, to the final match of the Great Demon Master's Tournament. Next, please welcome Mr. Pumpkin to explain the rules of this match!"
After the host opened the show, the projection of Mr. Pumpkin, the good luck charm, appeared again in the sky above the venue.
"The third match is a free-for-all, and the rules are quite simple."
We will randomly distribute thirty teams to the temporary town established in the center of the venue. Once the match begins, the teams will engage in a free-for-all battle without any distinction.
Magical practitioners from different teams can earn one point by defeating one opponent, and those who are defeated will have their points reset and will be eliminated. The match will last for four hours.
Four hours later, the points will be calculated. The top-ranked guild teams in the three matches will be awarded the title of "Guild of the Strongest Magicians in the Kingdom" and a trophy, as well as a prize fund of three million!”
After the Pumpkin Man explained the rules, a group of magicians started discussing among themselves.
This last free-for-all match is clearly going to test the overall strength of the guild. With thirty teams and one hundred fifty magicians, they will engage in a chaotic battle in a simulated town, and the team with the stronger overall strength will earn more points.
But strategy is also important besides strength.
"Should we be aggressive or passive?"
Leqi asked George.
There are mainly two types of battle strategies for free-for-all battles: proactive and reactive.
Proactive strategy means going out to find opponents and battle from the start, continuously eliminating them to gain points. Reactive strategy, on the other hand, is to wait and not move until most of the opponents have been eliminated, then come in to eliminate the scoring magicians.
The former can directly gain the initiative, securing points first, but the battles will necessarily consume a lot of magic power and energy, making it easy for other magicians to benefit from it as bystanders.
The latter waits and conserves energy, directly benefiting from the efforts of others, which is more relaxed, but if others manage to score and hide well before time ends, and if they can't find them, the result will be a futile effort.
"You four will be on passive defense, while I will take the proactive approach. My movements will be more noticeable, so when you see me, come closer to me."
George thought for a moment and instructed.
His plan was straightforward: just push forward and defeat more than half of the magicians on the scene, securing victory.
As the competing magicians discussed their battle strategies, a large magical array lit up in the center of the venue, and a temporary town was instantly transported to the center.
For most of the participating teams, it's unlikely to be the strongest guild.
But, points must be fought for with all one's might.
Because, in addition to the top-ranked strongest guild, the list will continue to rank downwards based on points, with higher points leading to a higher ranking. Everyone wants their guild to climb several spots on the leaderboard.
When the Great Demon Master Tournament concludes, it is likely that the entire kingdom will be judged by this list, and those who have published guilds will also be so.
Regardless of the honor or future missions of the guild, they will never play a garbage game in the last match.
Many guild magicians are thinking that once they enter the town, they will immediately avoid the big guilds and then find some magical practitioners from weaker guilds to fight. After gaining some points, they will immediately hide and stay hidden until the end of the match.
"Dong!"
As the gong sounded, thirty teams of one hundred and fifty magicians were brought into the temporary town, with their eyes covered, and placed in designated buildings.
The venue of the Great Demon Master Tournament has been transformed from a mountain, so the entire area of the venue is very large.
Plus, with various buildings in the town blocking sightlines, it's not easy to find others even if there are one hundred and fifty people placed inside.
Think about how the audience seats not only accommodate almost all of the citizens of Blossom City, but also those from other towns or even other countries. You can imagine how vast the area is.
If you compare it carefully, you'll find that the entire venue is actually not much smaller than a regular city.
"The match has started!"
With the host's voice echoing throughout the venue, all magicians inside the temporary town almost simultaneously removed their magical blindfolds that covered their eyes.
"This feeling, it's a bit like some reality show I watched in my previous life."
Threw the blindfold aside, George couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Turning his head, he saw that he was now in the main bedroom on the second floor of a residential building in the temporary town.
Stretching and yawning, George went to the balcony, spread his wings, and flew out, then unleashed his senses. Soon, he found a magician cautiously peering out from a house not far from him.
"It's it!"
At the same time, the magician saw George and immediately turned pale, activating a wind-based magic spell to envelop his body, and fled at the fastest speed towards a distant place.
"Pass out!"
George directly followed up, and a sleeping curse sent him flying away.
"A magician from Iron Tooth Guild, Arecba, has been defeated by Magician from Fairy Tail Guild, George. He has been eliminated!"
The sound of a magical announcement echoed immediately above the venue.
However, as George prepared to search for another victim, four announcements simultaneously sounded above the venue, causing him to furrow his brow.
"That's. being targeted?"
