I, Yhwach, join the chat group

Mira was a little excited, "That's great!"

"Now is not the time to be happy. Without sufficient magic power, the Eclipse Gate cannot be opened. So, now is the time for you to preside over the opening ceremony of the Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Show."

"Ok!"

Hearing this, Mira took a deep breath and calmed down.

Although she had been doing it before, she was always confused inside. Now, she has become determined. Even for her sister, she must let the Great Demon Fighting Exercise go on well.

……

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

On the outskirts of the royal capital, a large-scale competition venue unveiled a mysterious corner.

In the open space in front of the venue, tens of thousands of people gathered together. These people were all wizards participating in the individual competition.

Because there is no restriction on choosing between the individual competition and the guild competition, most wizards who think they have some strength choose to sign up.

At this moment, above the sky, the last second of the countdown also turned into zero.

"Time's up!" someone looked up and murmured.

"Look, the phoenix is ​​flying down!" someone shouted excitedly.

The colorful phoenix hovering in the sky suddenly began to descend and fell rapidly towards this side.

Trailing a colorful trail of smoke, the Phoenix King descended in the center of the stage.

The next moment, several spotlights came down, illuminating the stage.

I saw a woman dressed in black slowly walking up to the stage.

"Miss Mira!"

In an instant, countless people cheered, especially the magicians of the Kingdom of Fiore, who cheered the loudest.

"Good evening, everyone."

Mira's bright smile was so cheerful, "Welcome to the first Grand Magic Tournament. I'm the ambassador for this event, Mirajane Strauss, and I'll also be the host of the individual competition."

"Mira! Mira! Mira!"

A burst of cheers rang out, and I don’t know where the fans came from.

Mira kept smiling, feeling a bit embarrassed, as she looked at the tens of thousands of contestants crowded below the stage.

"The time limit has ended. Those who fail to arrive will be disqualified."

Mira took a deep breath and said, "Now, I declare the first Grand Demon Fighting Martial Arts Competition officially open. The first event will be the individual competition. The first stage is the Star Medal Competition!"

Chapter 277 Dream World

[Second update~]

……

"First up is the first stage of the individual competition, the Star Medal competition."

Following Mira's words, there was a commotion at the scene.

On the stage, there is a special sound transmission magic that allows her words to be clearly heard by everyone.

"Star Battle?"

"What do you mean?"

Mira went on to explain, "There are a total of 3 participants in the Grand Magic Fighting Martial Arts Individual Competition. At the beginning of the competition, everyone will receive a star badge. To advance to the second round, ten star badges are required. Therefore, only a maximum of 2899 people can pass the first stage of the individual competition."

This is a direct elimination of nine-tenths!

Countless people were filled with awe. Although they knew that the Great Demon Fighting Competition would be brutal, it was still frightening that 90% of the people would be eliminated in the first round.

Mira continued, "The first stage of the individual competition has a time limit of 6 hours. When the sun rises in the east the next day, any contestant who has not collected 10 stars will be eliminated."

6 hours! ?

Everyone was shocked again. In other words, in order to pass the test, they needed to snatch 6 star badges from others within 9 hours?

"What's the specific format of the game? A free-for-all?" someone asked loudly.

But there were also people who wanted to retreat. If it was a large-scale melee, there would inevitably be casualties. In a large-scale melee involving more than 803 wizards, if some powerful guy went crazy and cast a super magic, he could kill countless people at once.

"Please rest assured about this."

Mira smiled slightly and said, "The venue of the competition is not here, but in the dream world."

As soon as she finished speaking, the area below the stage where everyone was standing suddenly lit up with a red light.

"Magic circle!?" Someone was surprised, looked down, and his expression suddenly changed slightly.

All I saw was a huge magic circle that enveloped everyone.

It was a constant magic circle engraved on the earth. The moment the red light came on, everyone felt a deep sleepiness and their eyelids became extremely heavy.

Immediately, more than half of the wizards fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"This is...!" Someone tried hard to resist this sleeping magic.

"Don't resist. The magic circle will put you into a sleep, and then you will wake up in the dream world."

Mira said loudly: "And this magic circle will also ensure your safety, so you can rest assured."

Who can sleep in a place like this without worry?!

Despite thinking so, many people could no longer resist this powerful magic and soon fell down.

In just a short moment, only two or three hundred people were still struggling to hold on.

Among these people, Mira saw many familiar faces.

Erza, Gildarts, Joseph Pola, and even Jura Regis, one of the Holy Ten, were all present.

Not only that, there are also many people with hidden faces, wearing masks or cloaks.

The same thing is that each of them exudes a powerful magical aura and is at least an S-class wizard.

In other words, there were at least two or three hundred S-level or above wizards on the scene.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. There are so many S-level people in the whole continent?

No, that's not all, because the preparation time was very short and many wizards did not arrive.

"Compared to the entire Ishgar continent, the Kingdom of Fiore is indeed just a small country."

Mira thought to herself, then said to the remaining mages who were still awake, "Everyone, please stop resisting. The first stage of the competition will be held in the dream world. If you don't enter the dream world, it's equivalent to giving up. If you give up the competition, please leave the magic circle."

Upon hearing this, many people sat down immediately, actively accepted the sleeping magic, and fell asleep while sitting there.

Irene was one of them, but she did not fall asleep directly without worry. Instead, she carved a magic circle under her body to form a small barrier to protect her physical safety. At the same time, if the barrier was destroyed, she would be forced to wake up from her sleep.

After doing all this, she looked at her companions behind her.

"You guys are welcome to do whatever you want. I'll go try it first."

As she spoke, she closed her eyes, and soon, sleepiness came over her, and in the blink of an eye, her consciousness fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, several people behind him wearing black cloaks and covering their faces looked at each other.

"Let's get started too. Of course, it's best to leave one person behind to guard."

"There's no need. I know the magic circle under my feet. It's a sleep magic. The magic circle only has an amplifying effect. It can hypnotize more than 30,000 people at a time. This woman named Mira has very strong magic power.

……

Dream world.

When Erza opened her eyes, what she saw was an endless prairie.

Within the range of vision, many people appeared one after another.

"The number of people has shrunk!" Erza murmured softly. She quickly noticed something unusual. "There are only seven or eight hundred people gathered here at most. In other words, everyone has been divided into different scenes? What kind of magic is this? It's so powerful..."

If there were any anime fans on Earth here, they would definitely exclaim in surprise.

Isn't this a scene from Hunter x Hunter!?

At the same time, in another place.

It was an endless ocean, with thunder and lightning.

Hundreds of warships are floating on the sea.

On the deck of one of the warships, Irene opened her eyes.

"Amazing!" She couldn't help but exclaim, "Is this the dream world? It's so real. This is the first time I've seen this kind of magic. It's truly a mysterious dream."

This is a naval battle scene from "One Piece".

All people who entered the dream world were divided into 32 different scenes. The number of people in each scene was not large, ranging from seven or eight hundred to fifteen hundred.

The scene when Gildarts wakes up is a dark desert with a huge full moon in the sky. This is the "Hueco Mundo scene" of "Bleach".

In front of him, dozens of monsters wrapped in bone masks were roaring.

"Hey, hey, monsters are invading the dream world. This kind of thing wasn't announced in advance."

He couldn't help but complain, and then he saw a red mark on his wrist and a star badge on his chest.

"You can advance with just ten stars. However, the difficulty of this competition isn't here. The difficulty lies in how to persist for six hours..."

The moment he saw the monster, he realized that the enemies were not only the other contestants, but also the monsters in the dream world.

If the number of monsters is huge and their combat power is amazing, then the contestants will have to stick together.

The contestants themselves are in a competitive relationship. It can be said that this first round of competition is far from as simple as it seems on the surface.

Just as he was thinking about it, a huge human face appeared above the sky of the 32 game scenes at the same time.

The wind and clouds gathered, and the faces opened their mouths.

"Dear contestants, I am the Lord of Dreams. Welcome to my world!"
