"Well, who knows? Don't come crying and begging me to save you when the time comes."
Looking at Leticia's confident appearance, Azi shrugged, saying this with an indifferent look. Anyway, she was just here to have fun at the festival, and the Maou attack had nothing to do with her.
In fact, she even more hoped to see Leticia make a fool of herself. At that time, she could laugh at her to her heart's content.
Boundary wall, stage area, "Fire Dragon Birth Festival" operations headquarters.
Amidst the deafening cheers, the "No Name" group sat in the special seats of the operations staff. Since the general seats were already full, Sandora had specially arranged for them to have seats on the headquarters balcony, which could overlook the battle situation from above the stage.
As for Azi and Ophis, since they didn't belong to "No Name," they didn't sit with Black Rabbit and the others. Sandora originally wanted to give them some of the most conspicuous seats, but Azi politely refused.
The girl obviously didn't want to attract attention, just like she had come to the Fire Dragon Birth Festival many times before, just playing silently by herself. Of course, Arthas, although he was also a member of No Name, was also pulled over by Azi.
Next was the Creator's Game that Kasukabe Yō was participating in. As Black Rabbit, as the host, took the stage, the atmosphere of the entire venue began to become incredibly lively.
"Thank you for waiting! The final Gift Game of the Fire Dragon Birth Festival, "Duel of the Creators," is about to begin! The hosting and refereeing work will be handled by the exclusive referee of "Thousand.Eyes," Black Rabbit, who you are all familiar with!"
Black Rabbit, standing on the central stage to host the competition, announced the start of the game to the audience with a perfect smile. However, since it was rare to see a rabbit called a "Little Garden Aristocrat" in the lower levels, the atmosphere of the entire venue became almost boiling hot after Black Rabbit finished speaking.
The strange roar that exceeded the cheers even made the stage shake.
"Oh, is that the Gift Game of that little girl called Kasukabe Yō?" Azi said this curiously. Below, Kasukabe Yō had already arrived at the stage and was preparing to go up.
Just as Azi's words fell, the voice of the host Black Rabbit rang out again.
"Then the first round of the competition officially begins. Please welcome the participant from "No Name," Kasukabe Yō!"
Although it was a No Name community that no one had much of an impression of, Kasukabe Yō's wonderful performance in the previous competitions seemed to have won many fans. As she took the stage, the entire venue also rang out with enthusiastic cheers.
"And then, "Willo"WISp's" Aisha IgniFatuus!"
At this moment, a cyan fireball quickly swept past in front of Yō, knocking her to the ground. Aisha IgniFatuus from "Willo"WISp," swinging her pigtails and wearing a gorgeous black and white Gothic Lolita-style lace dress, mocked Yō in a tone that was both cute and arrogant.
"Ah ha ha ha ha! Look, look, did you see that! Jack! The "No Name" guy fell on the ground in an ugly way! Hehehe, well then, let's thoroughly ridicule her!"
"Yahohohoho..."
The audience laughed, some mocking, some kind, some to liven up the atmosphere, but Yō didn't care about any of this. Her gaze fell on the figure that jumped out of the fireball.
"This...Could it be..."
"That's right. This guy is our "Willo"WISp's" Gift masterpiece, the famous ghost! Jack O'Lantern!"
"Yahohohohohohoho..."
A lantern burning with flames, and a shapeless light black cloth outfit, and a huge pumpkin head burning with a fiery heart. That's right, this guy was definitely the famous pumpkin monster of Halloween, and also the existence that Asuka had always yearned for. It's just that now, Asuka was out of luck to see it.
"Hmph~ Just having the opportunity to be my opponent, you should be crying and thanking me, you No Names." Aisha walked in front of Yō, crossing her arms and making an incredibly arrogant declaration, but Yō just "hmph" and turned her head away.
"What...!?" Facing Aisha's anger, Yō lightly brushed off the dust, then calmly got up and ignored her.
"Alright, you two, please take your positions. Then, before the opening of the first round of the game, please let Leticia-sama explain the stage."
Black Rabbit stretched her hand towards the palace balcony and announced seriously. The venue immediately fell silent, and Yō and Aisha also looked towards the high platform. Seeing this change, Leticia, who had gotten up from her seat, lightly jumped to the edge of the high platform.
"Well, thank you for your cooperation. I won't say much else. Then, in the name of the Host Authority, let me prepare a battle stage for you!" After speaking, Leticia smiled and patted her chest. Then, a huge dark space enveloped the two girls and the entire venue.
"Leticia's game stage, huh?"
Arthas, who had seen this scene before, muttered this curiously. He looked at Azi, who was sitting next to him with a lazy look, and asked somewhat curiously.
"Do you think Yō can win?"
"Hmm, that little girl, huh? Her life catalog belongs to an artificial Gift. It's indeed an incredible thing. Although her potential is very large, in terms of her current level of control, wanting to compete with the elite of a community from the six-digit outer gate is still a bit of a pipe dream."
"In that case, Yō is destined to lose?"
"It's impossible for her to win. That pumpkin lantern is also an artificial product, but it's a demon, and that girl is just a human."
"That's true. Yō's own strength is still too weak."
Arthas agreed and nodded. After all, the race called "Demon" was recognized by the world as a transcendent individual with independent spiritual status. That kind of existence was definitely not something that the current Yō could defeat.
"But, now is not the time to watch the game. They're here."
While the audience was excitedly paying attention to the game, Azi looked up at the sky.
"Oh...?"
Hearing Azi say this, Arthas also showed a somewhat concerned expression. He also felt an unusual aura approaching the venue.
The Maou...Has already come?
The Gift Game was being held lively, and at the same time, at the boundary wall, two thousand meters above the ground. In the distant sky, three figures suddenly appeared.
