Urd narrowed her eyes as she looked at Frey.

Is he a human?

He probably was. But she couldnt be sure.

That was what was strange about it.

She could easily feel the divine power in him. But it wasnt the same amount as in an Apostle.

For example, the Phoenix, Nix, possessed much more divine power than normal Apostles. But this was only possible because she was the Apostle of Agni, an Apocalypse.

However, this mans divine power was several times stronger than Nixs.

If this hadnt been her first time meeting him, she would have been certain that he was a Demigod.

The three sisters exchanged glances.

This mans exact identity was still unknown. They might be able to figure out who he was if they truly tried to, but they could only postpone that for now.

After all, there was one thing they had to keep in mind at that moment.

This person in front of them was not one to be trifled with.

Paht.

The three Nornir sisters moved at the same time, disappearing from sight. They were moving so quickly that it was impossible to spot them with the naked eye.

Frey narrowed his eyes.

He couldnt see their figures clearly, but he could tell that they were rapidly closing the distance between them.

Do they prefer close combat?

Frey recalled the equipment they were wearing.

They were all dressed in armour like warriors, and each wielded a sword, spear, and axe respectively.

They might not have had any means of long-ranged combat, or if they did, it might not have been too threatening. That was why they were trying to close the distance.

He couldnt jump to any conclusions, but Frey couldnt help but think they would be easier to fight than Milled.

Can you stand?

Yes. Ill support you.

Frey nodded his head as he looked at Nix.

Dont overdo it.

Nix nodded and stepped back.

Frey looked back to the sky. Then he released the power of 9 stars.

Absolute Field.

Following Freys low murmur, dark light erupted from his body, spreading out in all directions.

In no time, the entire area fell under Freys absolute control. Nevertheless, it was difficult to exert enough binding force to restrain the three Demigods who were all moving in different directions.

Of course, Freys goal wasnt to stop them from moving.

Instead, he had unleashed his Absolute Field in order to increase the range of his senses.

I still cant see them.

But now, he could feel them. Three figures were rushing at him at extreme speeds.

They were fast. Much faster than Frey expected.

If they didnt stop moving, it would be very hard for him to hit them with Absolute Line.

At that moment, several countermeasures came to mind.

He could either use the fastest spells he was capable of, slow down the enemies movements, or focus on defense and avoid their attacks.

Thats only magic.

Realising what he was doing, Frey changed his view.

He didnt have to limit himself to magic. This was something hed learned in his fight with Milled.

The first one to reach Frey was Urd. In her hands was a spear which she thrusted towards Frey.

It was just a simple thrust, but she was a Demigod. Her body, which was filled with divine power, was much stronger than a Master class Knight or a First class Magic Warrior.

Her whole body was a weapon.

The pressure generated by this simple attack was enough to tear apart the air.

Frey knew where Urd was, but he didnt try to avoid her attack.

Sister! Be careful!

It wasnt Urd who noticed the change. It was Verdandy, who was still far away, who shouted at her.

Urd listened to her words unconditionally.

She knew she was tunnel-visioning at that moment. Perhaps Verdandy was able to get a better grasp of the situation than her.

Urd pulled back the spear that she was thrusting at a much faster speed as she retreated without hesitation.

Crackle!

A pale thunderstorm erupted from Freys body.

It was the Lightning Barrier.

But the power that was released was so strong that even Urd, who was a Demigod, felt threatened at that moment.

Indras lightning?!

Frey Blake!

Only then did the three sisters realise who Frey really was.

Freys indifferent expression didnt change.

He didnt care if they figured out his identity. It was the same for Milled. Since they knew who he was, he definitely couldnt let them leave this place alive.

Frey raised his finger.

It was aimed at Urd. After the lightning barrier appeared, her body had stiffened for a moment. It was only a momentary opening, but it was enough.

Fusing his mana and divine power together. Frey hadnt yet figured out the principles behind this phenomenon, which was a bit unpleasant for him.

Explore, analyse, and then make it your own.

This was a Wizards way of thinking.

However, although he didnt know the principles, his body still remembered the process. How to mix these two opposing forces.

Ah

Urd knew.

She hadnt wasted her thousands of years of life. She could tell with just a glance when her opponent was about to attack her.

As soon as Frey lifted his finger, she reacted.

She tried to lean back. But it was too late.

The strange thing wasnt Urd but the bolt of lightning that shot from Freys finger.

.

The white bolt appeared without a sound. To be precise, it far surpassed the speed of sound.

When the streak of lightning quickly covered the distance between them, Urd realised three things.

It was extremely powerful.

It would hit her.

And she couldnt avoid it.

Crackle!

The sound of the electrical discharge was very loud. The entirety of Nempatal shook.

Frey frowned at the noise.

Although it was his attack, its power and speed far exceeded his expectations.

Is this really Indras real power?

Not the power of an Apostle, but the power of the Demigod, Indra.

He knew that lightning moved at a speed that far surpassed sound, but he didnt think it would be this much.

Even the Demigods with monstrous reflexes would not be able to avoid it. Frey was certain that even the fastest spell he could use wouldnt be as fast as this lightning bolt.

Drip.

Blood dripped from his finger.

Milleds power had caused the speed and strength of the lightning to increase significantly, but it wasnt without risk.

In this way, it was impossible for him to go wild and use it as he pleased.

If he didnt take the risk into account, he might end up burning his entire hand.

For some reason, Frey felt like his left hand would suffer a lot more in the future.

Sister!

Skuld screamed with a broken voice.

Urds body had kept its original shape.

However, she was in a miserable state. Her entire body was burnt black, and the chances that she was still breathing were very low.

It would be difficult for her to continue fighting.

Demigods dont have brothers and sisters.

Freys murmur was quiet, but Skuld still turned her head as she barely heard what Frey was saying.

You despicable human what do you know about us?

I know that youre quite shameless. You destroyed hundreds of families in this city today, so its really disgusting to see you acting like victims.

Shut up-!

Skuld lost all her reason and rushed forward.

She was filled with emotion, so she charged straight at him without any tricksfast but predictable.

These Demigods were certainly easy to deal with.

Pit.

The Absolute Line pierced through Skulds eyebrows.

Her body collapsed without any suspense. Unless it was Lord, Absolute Line would be fatal to any Demigod.

There was a hole in her head, which could be considered a vital point, so Skuld was as good as dead.

Nix stared at this sight and blinked a few times, still unable to process what she saw.

She didnt even have the time to heal!

By the time she realised what was happening, two Demigods had already died in front of her.

Of course, these two were weak when compared to other Demigods, but they were still transcendent beings.

But now, Frey had overwhelmed them! On his own!

Amazing

Nix couldnt help but stare at Frey with admiration.

But Frey didnt let down his guard.

It shouldnt have been this easy.

It was true that he had become stronger. It was true that the power of Indras lightning exceeded his imagination and that these three Demigods were much weaker than he expected.

Nevertheless, this was still too easy.

Except from the small wound on his index finger, he had no other injuries. And even that was caused by the backlash of his own attack rather than an attack from them.

Verdandy was silent. Both of her sisters had died, but she still stood there with a cold expression.

Frey didnt use his divine power or the power of Absolute. At that moment, he couldnt find any openings despite her immobile state.

Then, Verdandy started to cry.

I hate you. Because of you, human, our relationship as sisters has ended here.

What are you talking about?

Ahhh. For thousands of years, I was able to forget the loneliness because I never expected this place to become the scene of a tragedy.

Skuld and Urds bodies began to change. Their bodies became white light particles that were then absorbed into Verdandys body.

Absorption?

He couldnt figure out the details, but he knew it was dangerous. Frey immediately shot a bolt of lightning.

Pang!

But an invisible wall protected Verdandy.

Frey clicked his tongue.

Its hard.

With the power of Freys lightning bolt, even mithril would be pierced easily, yet this invisible barrier didnt receive a single scratch.

Nevertheless, he wouldnt simply watch with his hands at his sides.

This time, Ill use my full power.

Just as Frey was about to use his lightning once again.

Clang!

Verdandys entire body became frozen.

This wasnt a spell, and instead, spine-chilling cold seemed to appear from nowhere. It was divine power.

And from what Frey knew, there was only one Demigod with the power of ice.

Turning around, he found Elliah standing behind him.

She smiled at him and shrugged her shoulders.

Ah. I killed her. Does this mean my identity as a traitor is confirmed?

why are you here?

Im here for you. Ill tell you the details when we get back to my place, so follow me. Its dangerous here.

What are you talking about?

When Frey asked back a question instead of listening to her, Elliahs expression crumpled.

Theres no time to explain. Or would you like to see Lord face-to-face? Can you handle that?

Freys expression changed when he heard that.

Lord is coming to Silkid? Why?

How would I know? In any case, hurry up and make your decision. Were running out of time to erase our tracks.

Frey nodded as he swallowed the rest of his questions.

Then he turned to Nix.

Nix, come with me.

As Nix nodded and walked closer, Elliah clicked her tongue.

An Apostle?

Agnis Apostle.

Huh? Then why havent you killed her yet?

Didnt you say theres no time to explain?

Thats true.

Just as Elliah was about to activate space-time movement.

Wait. Theres one more person you have to take.

Youre really getting on my nerves. I dont think theyre in this city. Where are they?

Should be southeast from the city.

Frey recalled the direction Dro had walked in.

Eliiah clicked her tongue and they headed over there.

After heading south east for a little, Frey looked around.

He couldnt see anything.

That was what was strange.

There was no sign of Dro, let alone a Demigod. Not only that, there were also no signs of a fight.

There were only the hot winds blowing across the desert sand.

Elliah narrowed her eyes.

You said he was here, didnt you? Theres no one here.

No one?

Right.

Frey frowned and muttered.

He said that at least two Demigods were coming from this direction.

A lot of time hadnt passed. No matter how strong Dro was, it was impossible for him to destroy two Demigods in an instant.

Elliah suddenly closed her eyes.

She stayed that way for a moment before reopening them. Then she looked back and said.

There are no Demigods around here.

What?

Freys expression stiffened at Elliahs words.

To be precise, there arent even any traces of other Demigods. The only traces of divine power that I could find in a ten kilometer radius comes from you and the Nornir sisters. Are you sure you didnt hear it wrong?
