"Hum!"
The thick sound pressure in the air caused the atmosphere to buzz.
Thus, Frey provided mana to Rabi in one go, allowing Rabi to utilize the magic circuit's performance to the greatest extent. He compressed the sound waves and formed cannonballs, then released the sound pressure cannonballs one after another towards Sleipnir.
However, none of Raby's cannonballs could hurt Sleipnir.
The armor-shaped automaton stood there casually, allowing the cannonballs to attack, but none of the cannonballs could explode on its body. Instead, all of the cannonballs passed through Sleipnir's body as if they were hitting the air.
"It's useless." Velon said without the slightest emotion: "Even if you continue to attack, you won't be able to hurt Sleipnir. Just hand over the glove."
"Woo …" Frey bit her lip, obviously wavering, but she didn't hand over the glove as Velon said. Instead, she held the glove tightly as if to protect it.
Obviously, Frey didn't want to give up.
Looking at Frey's stubborn appearance, Velon finally looked at Frey in the eye and shifted his gaze to her.
"Why are you so obsessed with the Night Assembly?"
Velon asked such a question.
"Even if you beat me here, you still have to go through a total of 98 fierce battles, and each battle is more and more dangerous than the last. In the end, you even have to face the likes of the Thirteen. Even if you're lucky enough to get to the end, you still have to defeat the Marshal. With your strength, that's simply impossible. Why aren't you willing to give up?"
Velon finally asked the main point.
Indeed, Frey was excellent. She was able to enter the top 100 in the academy that gathered excellent puppeteers from all over the world, which was enough to prove that she was not weak.
Plus, Frey was very hardworking. When Rozen first met her, she had been training herself in the depths of the forest until nightfall. In the future, she would be able to graduate smoothly and become an excellent puppeteer, right?
But that was Frey's limit.
Among the 100 people who participated in the Night Assembly, Frey was undoubtedly the weakest.
At least, that was the case for now.
Hence, for Frey, it was impossible for her to stand out in the Night Meeting, experience 99 nights of intense battles, and finally defeat everyone else to become the Demon King.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Frey's Night Meeting would not last long. Even if her ranking was higher than Veron's, she could not possibly be stronger than him. She was truly at the bottom.
In this way, if it were any other student, even if they wanted to give it a try, they wouldn't be so persistent to the point of persisting after seeing such an obvious gap in strength.
However, Frey was still unwilling to give up even now. There must be a reason, right?
In fact, Frey had already mentioned that reason from the very beginning.
"I … can't lose …"
Once again, Frey's voice sounded weakly and stubbornly.
"If I lose, I will lose something important."
That was Frey's reason.
Villon fell silent.
Then …
"Alright."
Velon seemed to have lost all his patience, and his expression turned cold.
"Since you're unwilling to hand over the glove, I'll just snatch it from you."
As soon as he finished speaking …
"Sleipnir."
Following Velon's order, Sleipnir no longer passively withstood the attacks and vanished on the spot.
Bam!
Amid the heavy muffled sound, Sleipnir appeared in front of Raby in an instant. It punched Raby who was releasing the sonic cannonball and sent him flying again.
However, this time, Raby didn't roll on the ground. Instead, he crashed into a stone pillar, causing it to crack.
"Raby!"
Frey couldn't help but call out. She suddenly remembered that the same thing had happened just now. She turned around abruptly and looked in front of her.
Just as Frey had expected, Velon appeared without a sound.
"Give it to me."
As if making an announcement, Velon extended his hand to Frey.
That hand kept enlarging in Frey's eyes.
That hand was clearly extending very slowly, but Frey knew that she couldn't block it at all.
Her glove would be taken away in the next second.
Her Night Meeting would be ended in the next second.
Then …
Everything would leave Frey.
"— — —!"
Frey let out a soundless cry.
Just at this moment …
Boom!
A terrifying magic burst out of Frey's body.
It was so dense, murky, and pitch-black magic that could be seen clearly with the naked eye.
"Wh …!?"
Velon's pupils suddenly contracted. Not only did he stop, but he also disappeared with Sleipnir and appeared in the distance, distancing himself from Frey.
"What … What is that …!?"
"What terrifying magic power!"
In the spectator stands, the students exclaimed one after another.
At that moment, Frey released a magic that shocked everyone present.
That magic power had already surpassed the level that humans could possess.
That magic seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the human body. It was deep and terrifying.
"Ugh … Ah …"
Frey, who had released such a level of magic, knelt on the spot. The skin all over her body started to crack and blood seeped out.
The blood all turned into magic and gushed out of Frey's body.
Yes.
The shocking magic came from her blood.
Frey's blood was turned into magic and released from her body.
That phenomenon … That scene …
"Isn't that similar to the one Magnus used?"
"It's a lie, right?"
"Does she know that secret technique too?"
"But … But she looks like she's in pain!"
The students in the audience were in an uproar.
Even the people from the Night Meeting's executive department started to gather together and discuss. They seemed to be hesitating if they should stop the competition.
"Roar … Roar …!"
On the other side, Raby, who had crashed into the stone pillar, received the magic surging out of Frey's body and let out a violent roar.
There was no longer any rationality in the roar. It was gradually replaced by power and madness.
"Tsk …"
Velon became vigilant. He was speechless as he mobilized his magic.
Facing the current Frey, even Velon had to show his true strength.
Just as the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction …
"Psst …!"
A faint sound of something piercing through the air was heard.
No one noticed the sound of something piercing through the air.
As a result, no one noticed that a black shadow carrying fire powder suddenly descended from the sky at a speed that no one could see, sweeping downwards.
The black shadow blended into the night and went behind Frey, who was kneeling on the ground and whining softly.
"Ah …"
As if her consciousness was suddenly cut off, Frey slowly fell to the ground.
"Ugh …"
Raby, who was in a frenzy, also closed his eyes and fell straight down.
The shocking magic that affected the entire arena instantly disappeared from Frey's body. Everything returned to normal.
Looking at the scene, everyone was stunned.
Velon stared at her in silence.
The Night Meeting's executive department had sent a stretcher.
Rozen, who was sitting in the audience, extended his hand and let the black shadow glide over silently and stop on his arm.
"Rozen …"
Ye Ye said uneasily.
"Let's go."
Rozen said as he stood up.
The two of them left the place together.
Under such circumstances, the first night of the Night Assembly came to an end.
