I love time travel the most!

Ultimately, the angel-shaped automaton disintegrated on its own, and the two door-like sword blades on both sides began to crumble, falling off along with the other door panels, leaving only the frail main body.

"That's about it."

Kobayashi muttered something, then kicked Gabriel off the battlefield; it was no longer capable of fighting. Loki, already weakened from the struggle for control with Kobayashi, collapsed after losing a significant amount of magic. He tossed his scarf to the students watching the battle.

He turned to look at Frey.

Despite the lack of any threatening expression or gaze, Frey trembled with fear. The burly canine automaton Rabi stood in front of her, but its retreating steps and trembling limbs showed that it was also terrified.

Am I that scary?

Kobayashi thought to himself, but leaned closer and said gently, "Don't worry, I didn't do anything to Loki, and of course I won't do anything to you. Frey, you did a great job tonight, you were very much like an older sister."

"Really... Do I... resemble a... good older sister...?"

"Oh, really. But it would be even better if you were a little stronger. Don't be discouraged, keep trying."

"Um……"

Frey's face lit up with a happy smile when she heard Kobayashi's affirmation. Taking the first step smoothly is the key to success, isn't it?

Kobayashi reached out to her, wanting to help the girl kneeling on the ground to her feet.

Frey also placed her right hand in his palm.

—Just then, a sudden change occurred!

Frey's entire body emitted magic power strong enough to knock Kobayashi away!

So strong!

Even the air looks black and murky!

Is this the kind of magic that humans can produce?

The students watching nearby had this thought in their minds, and their legs unconsciously stepped back.

Kobayashi also frowned slightly.

This unnatural demonic power was even greater than his, and was almost surpassing that of the Grand Magister Huihui!

the other side.

Under the moonlit sky, an elegant middle-aged man stood on the distant city wall.

This is the highest and best viewing platform.

When he saw Loki defeated, he sighed in disappointment, but then he moved his fingers and saw a large amount of black magic surging from Frey's body, and his expression instantly turned into madness and excitement.

"Come on, Frey, show your true colors!"

How high can it actually reach?

Let me take a good look!

On the battlefield, very suddenly, the rabbi's body underwent a change.

Its shoulders were high, its claws were long, and its fur stood on end like a hedgehog. More than twice its size, it resembled a tiger more than a wolfhound. Most importantly, its expression had changed; it had transformed from adorable to ferocious, its face revealing sharp teeth, making it look like a wild beast.

The black mist emanating from its body made it resemble a vicious hound guarding the entrance to the underworld—Garm.

"Rabbi...Rabbi...?"

Frey was releasing immense magical power, but it was clearly wavering and looked quite strange.

"Could this not be Frey's magic?" Charlotte was equally puzzled, but her dragon-shaped automaton Sigmund spread its wings and blocked her way.

Roar~~~~~~

Rabbi barked incessantly, his roars shaking the atmosphere and emitting a magical power so immense it made Kobayashi's skin ache.

"Well……"

Frey let out a whimper, her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground. Her large eyes widened in bewilderment; she clearly didn't know what was happening either. At the same time, her body began to crack, bleeding profusely.

After all, releasing such a large amount of magic power must have put a considerable burden on the body.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

Frey screamed in agony, struggling and writhing in pain, unable even to get up and walk, forced to remain curled up in place. Beside Frey, covered in blood, Lavi's teeth chattered, threatening Kobayashi before him.

Sigmund, who had spread his wings to block the way, whispered, "This is bad. Frey's magic is being forcibly drained!"

"Tough? Wait, what does that mean?" Charlotte looked at it anxiously and in confusion.

"If this continues, that little girl... will die."

As it explained, Rabbi launched a fierce attack on Ryuu.

Suddenly, its ankle was slashed by a sickle.

"You dare to bare your fangs at Lord Kobayashi, which means you're prepared to die, right? You're just a watchdog that barks and howls. Apart from being a bit bigger, making it easier for me to slash you, you don't seem to have any other distinguishing features."

After her usual sharp tongue, Ryuko asked Kobayashi, "May I cut it down, Kobayashi-sama?"

"You've already cut it down, haven't you?" Kobayashi sighed. "Of course not, Lavi is Frey's most important family member."

"...That's a real shame."

Liu Zi lowered her head slightly, but the scythe under her skirt showed no mercy.

As soon as Rabi stepped into Liu Zi's defensive range, it was met with an extremely sharp slash, mercilessly cutting at it.

Stabbing, piercing, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

In an instant, countless small wounds appeared on Rabi's body. Even if it wasn't killed, it would usually be unable to move.

however--

If a rabbi is cut by a short sword, blisters will immediately appear on his body to heal the wound.

Terrifying regenerative abilities!

However, it seems there is a price to pay. Whenever Rabi is injured, Frey's blood will overflow, evaporate into a cloud of black smoke, and merge into Rabi's body.

"Blood has been transformed into magic?!"

Charlotte, who was watching the battle, cried out in surprise.

Akabane Raishin watched everything unfolding in the arena with a serious expression.

Actually, someone had given him orders to seize Rabi's magic circuits long before, and he finally understood why at this moment, though he didn't know the reason.

If this technology were used on the battlefield...

The consequences could be disastrous!

Blood is a high-purity magical ingredient, much like gasoline. It seems to have been forcibly converted into magic through special mechanisms or magical procedures.

But the blood volume in a human body is limited, and if this continues, only death awaits Frey.

This is the situation Sigmund was referring to.

However, this can be solved with [Touch of Absorption].

Of course, the object used is not a rabbi, but a fré.

Absorbing Rabi's physical and magical energy will only make it more ferocious, drawing blood from Frey's body to convert into magical energy, ultimately only Frey will be injured.

Let's change our approach and make Frey lose consciousness.

It wasn't Lavi who went berserk, but Frey. To be precise, it was the magic circuits in her heart that were going berserk. So, as long as Frey lost consciousness, the magic circuits in her heart would stop functioning, and the berserk state would naturally stop.

While Ryuu was holding off Lavi, Kobayashi came to Frey's side.

Holding the limp girl in his arms, seeing her vacant, unfocused eyes, as if she had been completely ruined, Kobayashi felt a slight pang of pain in his heart.

"I'm sorry, it must be painful. Just a moment, I'll calm you down now."

Kobayashi's hand pressed against her full breasts, and the Lich-type skill was instantly activated to drain her stamina. In just three seconds, Frey's last remaining stamina was completely drained.

The exhausted girl leaned against Kobayashi's arms and fainted.

Seeing its master imprisoned, Rabi tried to break free from Liu Zi's obstruction, but without the supply of magic, it could not be strengthened. It could only shake its body in pain, digging in the soil with its front paws and shaking its head. Its steps were unsteady and its tail had lost its strength.

The enormous body that had just expanded gradually shrank.

To everyone's astonishment, it collapsed to the ground with a thud, and then its shoulders suddenly exploded, scattering blood and flesh everywhere.

The second night's meeting ended with an outcome that no one expected.

Chapter 153 Arrogance

The second night's battle ended inconclusively.

The medical staff who were waiting nearby quickly lifted Frey and her dog-shaped automaton Rabi onto a stretcher and sent them to the infirmary.

Kobayashi also went along.

Frey wasn't seriously injured; the forceful blood draw in such a short time had left her somewhat anemic. With Kobayashi's magic to heal her, even near-death experiences would be cured. However, due to exhaustion, she was currently lying unconscious on a makeshift hospital bed.

The problem is with the rabbis.

Even with Kobayashi's restoration magic, the wolfhound-type automaton cannot have its damaged magic circuits repaired, since it is not a physical body but an artificial machine.

Fortunately, they had a master automaton expert.

——Hualiuzhai Glass.

Upon opening the door to the infirmary, a mature and alluring woman in a kimono, accompanied by her bodyguard Irori, came into view.

Ignoring Krull, the only doctor in the academy who was fawning over her, she went straight to Kobayashi.

With an air of temptation, she whispered, "We can talk about the payment later, okay?"

"of course."

Kobayashi has no problem with it.

His expertise in girl-type automatons like Ryuu-chan doesn't mean he's also proficient in wolfhound-type automatons, especially considering that a large amount of biological materials were used on Lavi.

Rather than making a mess with your mediocre skills, it's better to spend some money and have a master puppeteer do it.

At this moment, Shoko glanced at Kimberly standing to the side and said, "Is it okay if I take action on my own?"

“I don’t mind. I should even say I’m honored, after all, I get to witness the world-renowned Lord Hanayuzhai display his skills.”
