I’ll admit .. you’re the strangest opponent I’ve ever fought on this planet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the intense pressure Frey applied, Gvardiol didn’t seem particularly troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re getting ahead of yourself.

Lord Starlight, the power you take pride in is nothing but a trivial speck... compared to real power!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unleashing it, Gvardiol created hundreds of black spikes from the metallic substance, hurling them at Frey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The attack was unbelievably fast—so fast that Frey couldn’t even see it coming, let alone react in time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, he took devastating damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The assault was brutal... terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dozens of bloody holes erupted across Frey’s body.
