The flames and lightning wrapping around Fron's entire body gathered toward the staff in his hand, at his low shout.
In the end, a deep, heavy glow of fire flickered faintly at the tip of the staff.
Suddenly lifting his head, Fron bared his teeth, revealing an excited grin.
"This strike will one-shot you!"
"I don't have time to play house with you here."
"Flames of Surtr (Surtalogi)"
"Haa!!!!!!"
Throwing his head up, Fron bared his teeth in an unrestrained grin, excitement flashing across his face. A violent aura coiled around his entire body.
His erupting mana stirred up a fierce wind, brushing against Amid and Anakitty's hair, making them involuntarily narrow their eyes.
"So strong… this is Fron going all out!?"
This was Amid's first time seeing Fron like this.
Anakitty was more familiar with it, at least outwardly she remained calm, but inside, waves were already raging.
Faster, stronger, more overwhelming!
Has Fron… already reached that stage? If that's true, then maybe… the first in the familia to break through Lv.7 might be him, no, it will definitely be him!
At this moment, Fron's weight and standing in Anakitty's heart faintly surpassed even the top three executives.
...
Blinding light burst from the tip of the staff. All flames and lightning converged into a single point, extreme mana control, amplified further by his skills.
This strike was Fron's absolute peak attack!
...
"Crack…"
The floor shattered. Fron leaned forward, and in the eyes of the others he transformed into a streak of black, his speed so extreme that the space around him stretched and warped.
The Fallen Spirit, mid-chanting its holy hymn, stiffened the instant Fron erupted. Its song stuck like a broken tape. Before it could react, a beam of light pierced through the underground hall's darkness and shattered the core magic stone within the monster's body!
"----?"
Fron's figure suddenly appeared at the other end of the hall, almost like teleportation.
That fleeting brilliance left everyone dazed, as though witnessing an illusion. But looking at the monster body frozen stiff in midair, they all understood, this was not an illusion. It was real.
"Crack…" The invisible sound of breaking rang in everyone's ears.
Fron planted his staff into the ground and turned expressionlessly. Looking up at the twisted mass of flesh and the Fallen Spirit above, he spoke faintly: "It's over."
As if answering his words, slowly… the huge Pillar began collapsing from one corner. Everything proved the certainty of Fron's declaration.
"This… that's it!?" They no longer even remembered how many times in one day their brains had shut down.
Even the veteran adventurers felt that the total number of times they'd been stunned throughout their careers didn't add up to the amount they experienced today.
Especially… all caused by Fron.
And what shattered their worldview even more, this man's strength far exceeded anything they could have imagined!
"S-So strong! Is this the full power of Fron Argon!? He… he actually defeated a monster nearly at Lv.7 in one single blow!?"
A burly dwarf slapped the shoulder of a nearby human boy, whose face twisted in pain. Eyes fixed on the slowly disintegrating monster, the young man muttered blankly:
"We… won?"
"V-V-Victory!! We really won!"
"We won!!"
In the vast underground hall, after a moment of stunned silence, cheers and roars exploded like an eruption.
Weapons were thrown into the air. Everyone charged toward the man standing alone at the center.
They formed a circle around Fron and tossed him repeatedly upward, venting pent-up emotion.
Seeing this, a slightly fatigued Fron also allowed a genuine smile to rise on his lips.
...
Through the Communication Crystal in Anakitty's hand, the riotous cheers and scenes of celebration spread to the other units.
Every person who heard the news wore the same expression of shock. Even Finn was momentarily stunned. He hadn't imagined Fron would finish things that quickly.
Even though he had expected Fron to win… he hadn't expected a total one-sided steamroll.
"This outcome may be surprising… but it's good!"
Letting out a pleased sigh, Finn straightened and shouted: "You all saw it! The enemy's strength is not invincible! Fron already defeated one, meaning the rest are not flawless either!"
"That's right! The Braver is right, the enemy is not unbeatable!!!"
"Go! What are you waiting for!?"
"OOOOOH!!"
...
Fron's success ignited everyone's passion. Their attacks grew immensely fiercer!
They formed tight formations, cooperated flawlessly, and unleashed their full power, hammering at the enemy's defenses.
For a time… even the magical firepower network created by the opposing magic circles began to tremble.
"Oh? Loki Familia's Nightweaver, Fron Argon, can actually do this? That guy's strength…"
A certain boar-persons eyes gleamed.
"He's strong enough to fight me."
For the first time in a long while, he felt the blood in his veins boiling. The strongest man in the city, his eyes overflowed with fighting spirit!
"Hurry up and finish this nuisance already. You don't want the Guild complaining to our Lady afterward, do you?"
"We are the Freya Familia. There's no way we're losing to the Loki Familia."
"Hmph."
