"First, get rid of those little shrimps!"
George, who was blocking the sky and the sun, extended one of its paws and suddenly pulled down the town below.
The huge cat's paw swept across the entire town at the center of the hall, causing it to collapse instantly as it was simulated. Those magicians with weaker strength were directly blown away by the cat's paw and fell into the audience stands.
"Crocodile Skin"
"Wild Boar Teeth"
"Mammoth's Elephant Trunk."
Immediately, a series of announcements echoed throughout the air above the arena. With this strike, more than a third of the magicians in the hall were eliminated.
"We must stop him from attacking further!"
Mine Barbara, seeing George strike down one-third of the magicians in the arena with a single blow, instantly recovered from her shock and called for a collective attack.
If we don't deal with George soon, by the time he defeats more than half of the magicians, your score will be comfortably in first place.
The purpose of the Defense Minister is to defeat George, preferably leaving him severely injured and unconscious. However, her objective is to allow the Sword-biting Tiger Guild to secure first place in the competition and become recognized as the strongest magician guild.
In the eyes of the guild's magicians, the royal family does indeed hold a certain status, but only to that extent. It is not like the general public, who regard the royal family's status as extraordinarily noble.
Magicians with strong abilities don't need to pay much attention to the royal family, nor do they need to pay much attention to the Magic Council. They are like the Four Kings.
In a world where a person's strength is so great that they can easily oppose the ordinary army, it is impossible for an absolute ruling power to be led by ordinary people.
As for the popularity of the Grand Magical Demon Sword Competition, it's not because the royal family's status is particularly high; people don't come to participate just to sell the face of the royal family.
Instead, it's because all the magical guilds want to compete and show off their strength, and the royal family has the influence and ability to host such a grand event that appeals to people's psychology.
So Mine Barbara is not afraid of the Defense Minister, nor is she afraid of the royal family. She and the Defense Minister are merely in a transaction, and if they can't secure first place in the competition, then there's no point in continuing this arrangement.
"Don't forget, your people are still in my hands!"
Mine Barbara activated magic and discovered that Guriya and the others were hesitant and clearly trying to avoid work. She immediately scolded them loudly.
Guriya and the others exchanged glances with a hint of reluctance, knowing that their fellow guild members' lives depended on it. They whispered an apology to George and began casting their spells.
"Demonic Eighteen Battle Deities Magic - Spatial Explosion!"
"Earth Magic - Divine Rock Shattered!"
"Strength Aroma - MAXMEN!"
"Unafraid to Bear Hatred - Soaring Type!"
"Drunken Boxing Magic - Under the Moon!"
The five leading guilds' strongest magicians launched their most powerful magic at George, while the other magicians followed their leaders' lead and attacked George.
The magicians who were fortunately not eliminated after George's first attack now cast their spells towards the air where George is.
"The biggest drawback of the strength magic is that it makes your body larger. While your strength increases, so does the target area. I want to see how you're going to dodge!"
Mine Barbara saw numerous spells being cast towards George at the same time and immediately revealed a smug smile on her face.
Giant magic is indeed formidable, especially when it comes to magicians like George who have refined giant magic to the utmost depth, resulting in a devastating destructive power.
However, like giant magic, the limitations and drawbacks are significant. Even after transformation into a massive form, one's defense is significantly enhanced as well. Nevertheless, this flaw remains unavoidable.
If it's one-on-one, the drawback may not be apparent, as even being hit can be withstood with sheer force.
However, when facing multiple opponents at once, it becomes a problem. Even with the strongest defense, it's impossible to withstand all of their different types of magic attacks at the same time.
Therefore, it is unwise to use giant magic at this time.
"Hungarian Mirror World!"
Seeing so many spells heading towards himself, George did not panic but used the transformation spell to conjure two huge mirrors and activated the improved mirror magic he had learned and refined as an apprentice in the magic world.
He is well aware of the drawbacks of giant magic. While he wouldn't hesitate to endure such a level of concentrated fire attack in his dragon form, the cat form's magic resistance is significantly lower and not suitable for direct confrontation.
A massive amount of magic was absorbed and disappeared upon hitting the first mirror, then quickly reemerged from the second mirror.
At this moment, George sneakily adjusted the direction of the second mirror, aiming it towards the nearby golden palace.
The royal family keeps finding trouble again and again, so it's time for him to give back some of the favor. He needs to show them that they will face the consequences if they dare to cause trouble, or else they might continue to do so repeatedly, which is very annoying.
So he directly redirected all the magic aimed at him towards the palace, ensuring that he would not be faulted even after the fact.
After all, in the eyes of the audience, attacking the palace was not his magic but the magic of these magicians below, which was just an accident.
Only the royal family themselves would know that this was actually a warning from him.
A dense array of spells flew towards the palace, and upon seeing this, the palace guards were so frightened that they quickly activated the magical defensive barrier of the palace.
However, these attacks were the combined efforts of the most powerful group of magicians in the kingdom, and the high magical defensive barrier of the palace would not be able to withstand them.
A sound like shattering glass resounded, and the high magical defense barrier of the palace shattered, collapsing into ruins under the aftereffects of the spells.
Upon seeing the palace collapse in the distance, the king, the princess, the Defense Minister and other important officials of the kingdom, all the audience members, and all the magicians who had just cast their spells, stood motionless for a moment.
"Evil Cat Roar!"
Meanwhile, George took advantage of the situation to open his mouth, puffing out the three-colored flame with a power of 100%.
The surging flames immediately eliminated a large number of magicians, transporting them away, leaving only Shoujo and Guriya, and other top S-class and Saint Ten-level magicians to remain.
Based on the current scores, Fairy Tail is already at the top spot, unless they are defeated by the people below and their points are transferred.
"Attack from different directions, making it impossible for him to transfer his magic. We still have a chance."
Mine Barbara looked around at the remaining top magicians, reluctant to accept defeat and once again adjusted her strategy to defeat George and regain her points.
Just as she finished speaking, a chilling voice suddenly echoed in her ears.
"What else do you have?"
Lifting her gaze to the sky, the enormous cat was no longer visible.
"Soul Extraction! Soul Snatching! Mind Control!"
It turned out that George had canceled his giant magic and teleported behind Mine Barbara.
With superpowers and magic being used simultaneously, he began reading Mine Barbara's memories, searching for the location of the other four guild members who were imprisoned by her.
