I love time travel the most!

Loki stood with his hands in his pockets, looking arrogant as if he didn't know what an opponent was.

It didn't seem like any magic was being input into the automaton, but Kobayashi could clearly see an opaque stream of magic flowing into Gabriel's body from behind.

Gabriel's massive sword swung precisely at Ryuu, and despite his strong dislike for Kobayashi, he didn't retaliate. One reason was the rules, and the other was his own unwillingness.

Liu Zi nimbly dodged the attack.

Although to outsiders it was an attack without warning, Kobayashi did not accuse him of sneak attacking, because it was not a violation of the rules and the party had already begun.

"Master Xiaolin..."

Liu Zi asked softly.

Kobayashi said to Ryuu, "Don't attack Loki, and don't use the imaginary switch. Your magic circuit has been dismantled, which will affect the gears."

“Yes, I understand.” Liu Zi bowed gracefully, then rushed towards Gabriel.

A frail girl takes on a miniature Gundam.

Many people who knew Loki's strength had already turned away and stopped watching. After all, a battle that could be resolved in an instant had no desire to continue watching.

however--

Ding!

Sparks flew, and the sound of clashing steel was fleeting. The person who had already turned around stopped and looked back at the center of the battlefield. There, beneath the purple skirt, the great scythe clashed with Gabriel's longsword.

After a brief standoff, both sides immediately withdrew their weapons and swung them at each other again.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The girl was even faster, spinning and leaping around the angel-shaped mini-Gundam as if performing a magnificent dance. Accompanied by the flickering sparks around her, her beautiful figure was made even more elegant and gorgeous.

The only hard thing on Liu Zi's delicate and fragile body, perhaps even the hardest in the world, is the two large scythes under her skirt.

This is how she was able to constantly deal with the angel-type automatons.

It wasn't always like this.

It's true that Ryuu is very fast, but Gabriel is not slow either. As an angel-type automaton with the [Hot Air Operation] magic circuit, its speed can be continuously increased.

Liu Zi clearly noticed this as well.

Therefore, her offensive became even more intense, constantly attacking every part of her opponent's body in an attempt to find his weaknesses.

As Kobayashi swung his scythe at Gabriel's neck, the support around Gabriel's neck immediately twisted and swayed. Although he quickly dodged, Kobayashi keenly sensed that it was Gabriel's weakness.

"Tsk."

Loki clicked his tongue in a low voice.

An invincible person is one who has no weaknesses; once a weakness is discovered, they are no longer invincible.

After that, Ryuu's attacks were all aimed at Gabriel's neck, and the clear target also prevented the opponent from being distracted by other parts of his body.

Furthermore, Gabriel's swordsmanship was also quite exquisite. Instead of blocking every attack, he would apply force from the side and cleverly use kinetic energy to deflect it.

Kobayashi couldn't help but look at Loki with newfound respect.

As Yomi once said, unlike the easy-to-control wolfhound type automatons, the angel type automatons require a higher degree of precision to operate.

No wonder he became the man who would later ascend to the throne of the Demon King.

At that moment, a short sword shot out from behind Gabriel, cutting through the air and flying towards Liu Zi.

Magic that manipulates the wind?

Kobayashi frowned slightly.

Liu Zi has always relied on agility and speed in battle, but when her enemy is equally agile and swift, her advantage disappears.

Of course, this is without enabling time stop.

Now, Ryuu, who was locked in a stalemate with Gabriel's main body, was unable to withstand the onslaught of the extra short swords. This was mainly because she only had two scythes; if she had more, the outcome would have been different.

Just as the short sword was about to strike Liu Zi, Kobayashi's figure disappeared and then reappeared behind her, stomping the short sword that had attacked from the shadows under his foot.

"Master Xiaolin."

"let me help you."

The rules of the night meeting stipulate that automatic dolls are not allowed to attack the doll users, but it's a different story if the doll user takes the initiative to participate.

For example, Akabane Raishin, who is also proficient in physical combat.

Although this kind of attack is common, Kobayashi was still a little angry and said to Loki, "You should be glad that the Night Society does not allow attacks on puppets, otherwise you would be lying on the ground by now."

"Heh, let's talk about sleep-talking when we're asleep!"

Loki scoffed.

He also said very seriously, "You should know what it means to intervene in the battle of automatons."

"Of course, bring it on. But..." Kobayashi deliberately provoked him, "Can you really hurt me with your incredibly slow short sword? It can't even cut my skin."

"It can be cut. There's nothing in this world that Gabriel can't cut."

He took his hand out of his pocket, channeled magic into Gabriel, and said, "—Spin!"

"I'm ready!"

With a loud boom, a storm erupted from Gabriel's body.

Heat flows, air distorts.

A burnt smell filled the air, while Gabriel spewed hot air and flew into the air.

Its angelic appearance suddenly changed; its shoulders and arms merged with the longsword, becoming a single iron plate again, and all the parts of its body were reassembled like puzzle pieces.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a greatsword.

It was a greatsword nearly the height of an adult, with beautifully curved double blades that were sharpened to a point without any blemishes. Gabriel's face was visible at the base of the blade, which was quite terrifying.

"Oh my, so you're finally showing your true skills?"

Kobayashi remained completely calm; he had known all along that Loki had this trick up his sleeve.

As Loki raised his hand and then swung it down, the greatsword spun rapidly, hurtling towards Ryuu. Due to the concentrated weight, Gabriel's attack was significantly more powerful than before.

"Get out of the way! Are you stupid, you idiot!"

Amid Charlotte's concerned exclamation, Kobayashi simply raised his hand, and at the same time, a transparent membrane appeared in mid-air and then merged with it, enveloping him.

--barrier!

squeak------

The ear-piercing tearing sound of the chainsaw cutting through the door panel caused the onlookers to gasp in astonishment as they witnessed the powerful spinning greatsword being successfully intercepted!

"impossible!"

Loki voiced their innermost thoughts, but the facts were undeniable and left them no room for denial.

"How, how could..."

"magic."

As Kobayashi parried the greatsword, he said with ease, "Your Gabriel is indeed very strong. The combination of spin and hot air manipulation is even more effective. Most people would be defeated by you. But..."

At the same time, magic erupted, sending the greatsword flying.

"Completely useless against someone like me who possesses powerful magic and can use defensive spells!"

The onlookers swallowed hard.

I thought Loki's next move was already beyond the norm, but now there's someone even more extraordinary.

"Don't worry, Loki, I won't take away your right to meet at night, nor will I do anything to Gabriel," Kobayashi said to him with a smile, though his expression was dark and terrifying.

Because he wanted to use them as bait to lure out the scumbag "father" who was manipulating them like puppets behind the scenes!

Chapter 151 The world where only Kobayashi was injured is complete.

At midnight, the bell rang.

The first night's party has ended.

Kobayashi, wielding magic, achieved a crushing victory, shattering the Sword Emperor's undefeated record in actual combat and defying the expectations of all the students watching. Like a dark horse, he unexpectedly burst into everyone's view.

The strong at the top became wary, while the weak at the bottom trembled with fear.

Meanwhile, the other protagonist of the battle, the defeated Loki, dragged his weary body alone toward the academy's guardhouse. After communicating with the guards, he was led to a quiet room.

As soon as I entered, I saw a figure from behind.

Without any opening remarks, he immediately questioned, "It seems to be over. I received a telegram saying you lost."

"……Yes."

Hearing his father's question, Loki, who was standing behind him with his head down, clenched his fists in resentment.

At this moment, he was bruised and battered, his clothes were tattered, and he was completely different from his previous handsome and eccentric demeanor. He was also completely different from the middle-aged gentleman in front of him who was elegantly drinking red tea.

And he was none other than Bronson, Frey and Loki's father, who once touched the throne of the Demon King.

"I didn't expect you to lose."

Bronson raised his teacup, glanced at his son out of the corner of his eye, and said coldly, "You should have been my proudest son, but now you've lost so thoroughly. I'm very disappointed."

"...Please, please give me another chance!"

Loki pleaded through gritted teeth, his resentful voice echoing in the silent room.

Tuk - Tuk - Tuk -

Bronson didn't answer, but instead turned his back to Loki, tapping his fingers on the table, causing the surface of the tea to ripple. Loki's anxiety grew.

The atmosphere was incredibly oppressive, and the constant knocking sounds pounded against his heart.

The son dared not resist, fearing that his indifferent father would utter the word "discard" and stop his heart.

Despite Bronson's claim that Loki is his proud son, in the eyes of the already deranged Bronson, having no use for him means he can be discarded at any time.

half an hour.

Bronson slowly began, “I’m not angry that you lost, Loki, but that you lost so miserably and ugly.”
