Starting from the pirates, pushing the world.

Chapter 2398 You need to come back as soon as possible!
"how many?"

Brian changed into black trousers and a long-sleeved shirt, paired with a dark blue cape.

Holding the Nichirin sword he had specially purchased in advance, he warily scanned his surroundings.

Although this doesn't make much sense.

His Observation Haki had already spread out like radar.

"We can only see five or six 'ghosts' moving around; there should be more inside."

Tifania calmly provided the information.

Having traveled with Brian on adventures over the years, she has developed a strong will.

She is no longer the timid little girl who was afraid of fighting.

"Okay, once this job is done, I should be able to save up enough money to order an epic-level secret weapon!"

Brian Anglaus smiled happily.

He recently wanted a sword that could greatly enhance his combat power.

I'll also take it to this year's Top 100 Combat Power Competition.

Last year I ranked 147th, but this year I need to at least break into the top 100.

"Ok!"

Tiffany, who was behind her, nodded emphatically.

She can now understand Brian's strong desire to become stronger.

She was also willing to work hard to improve herself so that she could fight alongside him.

She then took out the live broadcast sphere device given to her by the Adventurers' Guild from her shoulder bag, which had been expanded with a seamless extension spell.

Once started, let it fly in the air and follow you.

This is to preserve evidence.

After all, 'ghosts' turn into black ash and disappear completely after they die.

"phantom!"

Then Tiffany waved her short staff to conceal their figures.

The two approached the camp cautiously.

Until the entire camp was within Brian's Observation Haki range.

"Five outside, four inside, one of whom has a prominent aura; he might be the 'Lower Moon' who has mastered 'Blood Demon Art'."

The two communicated with each other through mental means and determined a simple battle plan.

The main goal is to ensure that none of them escape.

"Up!"

Tiffany closed her eyes and raised her short staff.

Brian disregarded the noise, took a deep breath, and his body crackled with golden electricity.

However, these are just illusions and special effects; it seems he hasn't mastered the true techniques yet.

despite this.

It transformed into a bolt of lightning, too fast for the naked eye to see, and streaked past.

【boom! 】

"what?"

"who!"

"Where?"

The tremendous sound of Thunder Breath instantly startled the four burly, terrifying-looking 'demons' guarding outside the camp.

But the eyes couldn't see anything; they could only roughly determine the source of the sound through their ears.

This startled them, preventing them from reacting in time.

"Breathing of Thunder: Four Lights Slash!"

Brian's cold voice suddenly rang out.

next second.

The two 'ghosts' guarding the main gate had their necks and chests split in two, their foul-smelling blood spraying into the air.

"over there!"

The other two 'ghosts' on the left and right sides of the camp located themselves by the smell of blood.

But in their eyes, their companions were still standing there, alert to their surroundings.

It's as if nothing happened.

"phantom!"

The 'ghost' on the right, upon realizing the truth, roared in anger and strode towards the camp.

Although Tiffany was still trying to distract them.

However, the bloody smell is no longer as effective as before in providing a location.

Brian didn't care and easily killed two more 'ghosts' in the camp.

It's clear that he's significantly better than he was four years ago.

If it were Brian, who hadn't even reached the Hero Realm before being summoned to the starfish.

After a fierce battle, even with all my might, I could at most deal with two of these 'demons' who don't know blood demon magic.

This is without even considering the Nichirin Tori.

But now he is confident that he can fight even a Ghost King-level Ghost.

"Blood Demon Art: Wood Spirit!"

No one was seen inside the tents deep in the camp, but their voices were heard first, filled with anger and murderous intent.

The voice just fell.

Branches and thorns began to grow wildly on the ground, and even though Brian was fast, he couldn't avoid coming into contact with them.

These strange plants would entangle themselves upon contact with the skin and even try to tighten and cut it.

But Brian's skin had a metallic black sheen.

Armament Haki. Harden!

In an instant, the blade flashed, and lightning, invisible to the naked eye, burst forth once more.

Brian cleaved through everything, including the 'ghost,' the tent, and even the bushes and thorns along the way.

"Breathing of Thunder: Far Thunder!"

This time it's the swordsman's signature move, the Flying Slash, only this time it's shrouded in lightning effects.

"Boss."

"Could they have already been killed?"

"Damn it, all these plants are withered, do I even need to guess?"

"run!"

The remaining four 'ghosts' made a bunch of random noises in the language of white elephants.

But without the slightest hesitation, he ran desperately toward a direction free of the smell of blood.

Suddenly they stopped moving and looked around in confusion.

"Where am I? How did I get here? And who am I?"

Tiffany, who had been standing outside the camp in the distance, held up a short staff with a glowing tip and murmured, "Void Magic. Oblivion."

This Demon Slayer world has no magic or elemental spirits, which prevents her from using ancestral magic.

Furthermore, Void Magic users themselves are unable to learn magic from the Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water systems.

Therefore, she had no choice but to use this cruel magic that, in her view, manipulated biological memories.

Fortunately, the object is an evil creature like a 'ghost,' so there's no psychological burden associated with it.

Brian was extremely familiar with Tiffany's magic and seized the opportunity to quickly kill them.

All of this was recorded by the live broadcast sphere device flying in the air.

"As expected, this is an easy and rewarding mission; they're really good at killing!"

Brian looked at the ghosts turning to ashes before his eyes and sighed.

Why don't we go find the 'Upper Moon' or the 'Demon King'?
He is now a Silver-rank adventurer, which, according to the Adventurers' Guild headquarters' combat strength assessment, is equivalent to a military major.

Of course, not the elite major type found in the main combat legions.
With Tifania's assistance, we are absolutely confident in hunting down the Demon King.

Unless the Adventurers' Guild's assessment of combat strength is flawed, or the Demon King has too many demons following him.

"Mr. Brian!"

Just then, Tifania, who had just dispelled the 'illusion' spell, swayed her graceful figure and ran over.

Brian looked at her with a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

It was a gaze that resembled that of a family, like that of a brother and sister, or perhaps an uncle and niece.

"Let's rest here today and look for other 'ghosts' tomorrow."

"Then we need to set up 'pyramid' guards around it."

Tifania nodded in agreement.

She was referring to the small magical devices developed by the Magic Academy.

It can assist mages in completing complex and difficult rituals.

It can also launch non-elemental magic missiles to attack targets that the controller perceives as enemies.

It also possesses a certain degree of intelligence to perform patrol or alert tasks.

But before that, Tiffany took a red and white ball from her waist.

"Come out!"

As the ball automatically opened, it shot out a beam of red light, revealing a smiling sunflower swaying gently on the ground.

"Please keep watch this night. If any 'ghosts' approach, shine sunlight at them!"

Tiffany bent down and gently instructed him.

As for why it wasn't released earlier, it's because Brian wanted to do it himself.

Just as he was about to take out the book he had recently bought and read it for a while.

Tiffany's Den Den Mushi suddenly started ringing.

"Hey?"

"It's me, Sasha. Registration for the Top 100 competition is open. You need to come back as soon as possible."
