[Ding! Mission complete.]
Task Title: "Upholding Fairness!"
Task progress:
Prevent "Raven's Tail" from violating the rules (Completed)
Quest Reward: Random Bronze Armor or Skill.
Do you want to claim the task reward?
With the official start of the Magic Grand Tournament, Moen's mission was complete.
Since there wasn't much to do on the guild leader's viewing platform anyway, Moen simply accepted the reward, which was just a [Bronze Saint Cloth].
That's all, it won't cause any stir. If it were at the level of the [Golden Cloth], then Moen definitely wouldn't be here to collect it.
Otherwise, the magical fluctuations caused by the appearance of the Gold Cloth alone would be enough to give everyone present a hard time, and Moen didn't want to create trouble.
[Congratulations! The Phoenix Bronze Cloth has been unlocked!]
When this pop-up appeared, Moen's previously calm expression changed.
This Phoenix Bronze Cloth is considered the best piece in the current Bronze Cloth pool. Although it is only Bronze, it is extremely special.
The Phoenix Bronze Cloth possesses a self-repairing ability that even the Gold Cloth lacks. Even if it is shattered into pieces or even dust, it can instantly regenerate completely, and its radiance and power will become even stronger after regeneration.
This single characteristic is enough to make the Phoenix Bronze Cloth stand out from all other Cloths; it is a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
Most importantly, this Cloth also has a "fusion technique" with the Leo Gold Cloth, which can use the power of the Phoenix Divine Fire to fuse the Phoenix Bronze Cloth and the Leo Gold Cloth into the True Leo Gold Cloth.
A single Saint Cloth that perfectly blends the powers of the Phoenix and Leo Saint Cloths and constellations, possessing both terrifying destructive power and the power of immortal rebirth.
Just thinking about it is incredibly powerful. This [True Leo Gold Cloth], this "Phoenix Lion," is absolutely a divine artifact.
Moen now possesses the Leo Gold Cloth and has also obtained the Phoenix Bronze Cloth, thus meeting the requirements to synthesize the True Leo Gold Cloth.
As for the "Phoenix Divine Fire," the Phoenix Bronze Cloth itself possesses the ability to unlock the Phoenix Flame. This flame actively grows stronger as the user's power increases, and it also grows stronger as the Phoenix Bronze Cloth itself becomes stronger.
At first, it won't have the "Phoenix Divine Fire" since it was just acquired, but that's only a matter of time, and Moen is very confident about it.
[Ding! Detected that five of the five Bronze Saints' Cloths have been unlocked, and their special skills have been unlocked.]
Just as Moen was overjoyed about the Phoenix Bronze Cloth, the system popped up again, this time unlocking a reward.
Just as Moen had expected, once all five Bronze Saints' [Bronze Cloths] were unlocked, a special reward was indeed triggered.
The five Bronze Cloths—Pegasus, Cygnus, Draco, Andromeda, and Phoenix—are of extraordinary significance, and may even be rarer than the Gold Cloths.
After all, there are twelve Gold Cloths in total, and if you include the Ophiuchus Gold Cloth, there are at most thirteen. But the five Bronze Saints only have five Cloths in total.
A reward pop-up appeared, and Moen looked at it with a strange expression.
[The Goddess's Blessing: Even if struck by the most powerful attack, you will not die instantly. In the face of imminent death, you will unleash terrifying potential. Burn, Cosmo!]
The moment this "Goddess's Blessing" appeared, it immediately felt real. From today onwards, he will truly master the divine skill "Burn, My Cosmo!" With this skill, even with the power of the sixth sense, he can defeat the seventh sense!
Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, it is probably impossible to bring Moen to the brink of death. Moen may never be able to use the [Goddess's Blessing] ability again in his lifetime, so it is too difficult to bring him to the brink of death.
However, no one can have too many trump cards. The "black dragon" has not yet been dealt with, so having more trump cards that can save lives and unleash power is a good thing.
Moen smiled, pleased with his haul. Collecting all five Bronze Saint Cloths was no easy feat; he had even unlocked half of the Gold Cloths before finally gathering the Bronze Cloths for the five Bronze Saints. This was truly more impressive than collecting the Gold Cloths.
rare.
"Ohhhhhh!!!"
A burst of cheers and screams erupted from the audience.
Moen snapped out of his daze and realized that the broadcast cameras were focused on him. On the large screens around the arena, his handsome face with a smile was on display, a true "beauty overload".
Moen immediately waved to the surrounding audience, his bright smile radiating light, which drew cheers from the crowd once again.
What defines an international superstar? (Leans back)
Moen's popularity was on full display at this moment; even if he didn't participate in the competition, just sitting on the sidelines, he could still attract countless eyes.
This isn't the first time this has happened, except this time Moen has a different identity; he's now the guild master of Fairy Tail.
And after today, his identity will be spread rapidly.
The broadcast camera focused on Moen for a long time, allowing everyone to see enough before switching to other directions.
The live broadcast is incredibly clear, which is one of the research results of "Fairy Tail". This is all thanks to the advanced "magical item" research experience obtained from the world of "Edras". That world really surpasses "Esland" in this respect, and the two sides have completely different stat allocation directions.
Today's "Fairy Tail" has a dedicated "Magic Item Research Institute", and the first director is Moen. Although he does not directly participate in the research, he has many ideas and resources. He is responsible for proposing ideas and providing resources, and the researchers are responsible for working hard to realize them.
Warren was the deputy director who truly led the institute's practical work, and this brand-new live broadcast system was improved and produced by them.
Moen's long-awaited product, the "mobile phone," is now showing promise. It is said that a "first-generation phone" has already been developed, which has at least achieved short-range conversation capabilities. This is already a great success. All that remains to be done is to continue to increase the conversation range.
In the world of magic, the "magic phone" naturally doesn't need any "base station" or "signal tower"; it relies on magic and enchantment.
Moen believed that Warren and his team would definitely be able to create a true "long-distance communication device".
If Mystogan knew that the "magical item crafting experience" from the world of "Edras" was now being used to create these things in "Aislandon," he would be very pleased. Crafting these technological products is always better than creating weapons for killing.
Of course, when handing over those technologies and experiences to Moen, Mistergan was confident that Moen would not misuse them.
In fact, it has been used, for example, in an attempt to imitate the "Dragon Knight". However, the "Dragon Knight" is too difficult to replicate, and there is no possibility of replicating it in the short term, let alone mass production or miniaturization.
Unfortunately, even with so many talented people in "Edras" they couldn't figure it out, and they couldn't mass-produce or miniaturize it. So these half-baked people in the world of "Eslandon" are even less likely to be able to do it.
Moreover, this project is top secret, with only a very few researchers, including Warren, allowed access. This makes the research even more difficult, and it may truly become a "long-term project."
The opening ceremony continued, and after introducing the participating teams, guilds, and distinguished guests, it was time for the cultural performances.
This is the normal arrangement. There are actually no matches today. The "qualifiers" will start tomorrow. Today is just the "opening ceremony" to give everyone a chance to show their faces.
After all, once the "preliminary rounds" begin tomorrow, most of the people present will be eliminated, and only eight teams will advance to the knockout stage.
They've come all this way, we can't let them be eliminated and sent home without even showing their face.
Tomorrow's qualifiers will be a joint event for all teams. Even with a lot of broadcasting equipment, it's impossible to show everyone. There will definitely be many teams that only get screen time when they are eliminated.
That would be too cruel. Let them make an appearance at the "opening ceremony" so that at least their names can be remembered.
This was King Thomas's request; he truly admired and empathized with the mages, and even considered these things.
The cultural performance was in progress and was actually quite wonderful, after all, it brought together artists from all over the Kingdom of Fiore. But Moen's mind was not here at all. He wanted to try out his newly acquired Phoenix Bronze Cloth.
Although it's just a Bronze Cloth, it's truly different. Moen's expectations for it are no less than those for a Gold Cloth.
"The preliminary rounds of the Grand Magic Martial Arts Tournament will officially begin tomorrow. I wish everyone the best of luck in achieving good results, performing to their full potential, and advancing to the knockout stage!"
After a two-hour cultural performance, the host, King Pumpkin Head Thomas, offered his blessings to all the contestants.
The contestants were all eager and excited, ready to face the first challenge tomorrow, which would likely be the last for most teams.
Amid cheers, the "opening ceremony" officially came to an end.
As the crowd dispersed, Moen vanished without a trace, leaving many who wanted to curry favor with him and cultivate a relationship with him dumbfounded.
"Buzz!"
With a surge of magic, Moen appeared in the outskirts of the city. The venue for the opening ceremony was located on a mountain outside the city, so finding a secluded spot nearby was quite easy.
Of course, with a bunch of contestants and spectators here today, it might not be quiet on this mountain, but Moen casually set up a "crystal wall barrier," creating a place for himself where no one would be.
"Buzz!"
With a thought, Moen summoned the Phoenix Bronze Cloth. The box containing the Cloth opened, revealing a lifelike phoenix.
"Not bad, this is interesting."
Moen praised him, and the phoenix instantly disintegrated, transforming into armor that covered his body.
The most distinctive feature of this Saint Cloth is its "phoenix tail feathers." The colorful tail feathers flutter behind it, and although they are incredibly hard, they feel as light as real feathers.
The tail feathers of the "Phoenix Bronze Cloth" can be used as concealed weapons, and its combat record is quite powerful, against Shaka, Saga, and others.
Mime, Bado, and Minos—the Gold Saints, God Saints, and the three Judges of the Underworld—all suffered from the phoenix's tail feathers.
As an accessory to a Bronze Cloth, the Phoenix Tail Feather is indeed very powerful, with a strength comparable to that of a Gold Cloth.
"Smack."
Moen snapped his fingers, and a ball of flame immediately appeared on his finger, a blazing flame that seemed to contain boundless vitality.
This is the "Phoenix Flame," an ability granted by the Phoenix Bronze Cloth. This phoenix flame is the flame that can revive the shattered Phoenix Bronze Cloth, and of course, it can also be used to destroy enemies.
"But this level of Phoenix Fire is clearly not enough to fuse Phoenix and Leo. It will have to be upgraded to Phoenix Lava, and it may even have to be more powerful to become the same as the divine fire within the Phoenix."
Moen made a judgment: Ikki, with his "Seventh Sense," became a Gold Saint and could use "Phoenix Lava." However, to possess flames like the true "Phoenix Divine Fire," it would probably be possible only with the "Eighth Sense."
"No rush, let's try this trick first."
Instead of rushing to fuse the two Saint Cloths, Moen tried another method.
"Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist!"
Moen threw a punch, but it didn't have much power because this move, like the [Phantom Demon Emperor Fist], was specifically designed to target the mind.
This is the legendary Demon Fist, which shatters the spirit rather than the body. It can attack the opponent's nerves, causing the dark part deep within the enemy's heart to expand infinitely, producing the illusions of their greatest fears. The damage to the spirit will be reflected back to the body, causing the opponent to lose their fighting ability. It can also directly destroy all of the opponent's nerves, destroy their mental will, and cause their soul to be scattered.
In comparison, the Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist is better at destroying and shattering the spirit, while the Illusion Demon Emperor Fist has the ability to control the enemy, something the Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist cannot do; the former can at most peer into the enemy's mind.
"Actually, their abilities overlap somewhat."
Moen sighed. Of course, it's always good to have more skills. Maybe these mental abilities will be surprisingly effective against the "Black Dragon." Even if he can't control him, he can try to destroy his mind directly.
"The Phoenix Bronze Cloth is indeed extraordinary."
Moen was very satisfied with his gains this time. He could tell from the Phoenix Illusion Fist that the Phoenix Bronze Cloth was indeed monstrous. This move could truly be on par with the Gemini Gold Saint and was a Gold-level skill.
However, mental attacks are rather special because they are not very effective against people with strong willpower, and may even backfire.
