In the arena...
Yuno was patiently waiting for the demi-human to get up on his feet since he wanted the demi-human to go all out
'Was it that painful?' Yuno asked this to himself in mind after sensing such a pathetic state of demi-human, yuno couldn't help but wonder if that punch was that powerful, as previously he thought demi-human defences would be good considering he is from Freya familia as well as experienced level 2 adventure
But yuno has to admit that the combination of advanced Armament haki plus gravity is deadly, and now since he has more control over his devil fruit, he can do it without any problem
Meanwhile Demi human on the ground is coughing blood but it seems he is more stable than before
The moment yuno fist touched him, He felt like someone hit his stomach with a hammer very hard which made him want to puke and feel like his guts got crushed by yuno's hit
"You bastard *cough* *cough*," Demi-human said as he stood up on his feet with difficulty, he didn't believe that someone like him who is just nobody from nowhere had this kind of strength
Demi-human knows that yuno is talented otherwise her goddess would never look at yuno even for a split second if he was talentless but he refuses to believe that yuno is more talented than him
'I am sure it's some kind of skill!' Demi-human said this out loud in his mind after coming to this conclusion
Because the only options demi human thought of were magic or skill and since he didn't hear yuno chanting any spell that leaves him with only one option which is a skill
'I need to defeat this brat quickly otherwise my goddess will be more disappointed' demi-human said this in his mind as he was afraid to make Freya more embarrassed
So he decided to go all out from this moment, as he decided to use his most powerful yet most dangerous skill which could even risk his life
This is like a double edge blade for him since it gives a huge boost to his strength, speed and beast senses for a short period of time
Also in that period of time, his all feelings will be cut off, he will be a puppet with no consciousness but still, the body will be defenceless and all the injuries he received will affect the body
The drawback is after this skill effects worn off, he will feel intense pain for forcefully increasing his power plus the pain of all injuries he received during that time period
But demi human felt it all worth it if that makes his goddess happy which is his life objective, no matter what his life exists for his goddess and he will do anything in order to not disappoint her
With that determination, he activated his skill as his body suddenly started to grow which resulted in tearing his clothes while his eyes started to become blood red as well as he is now releasing an intense blood lust
As his transformation finished, the demi-human suddenly leapt forward towards yuno direction with the intention to kill right now and appeared in front of yuno with a fast speed enough to be mistaken for teleportation
'This is bad!' Yuno inwardly shouted this as his advanced observation haki sense a danger but unfortunately, his body was not fast enough to react
Yuno couldn't help but be extremely surprised at the fact that even doing all that training still he encountered the same problem as before
Luckily at the last second when demi human dagger was about to touch yuno's neck, yuno was somehow able to active his shunpo as he escaped from the demi-human strike the result demi-human hit the wall which made a big hole in the wall
'What happened to him?' Yuno wonder this to himself in mind as he senses changes in the human because suddenly not only does speed increase to the point where yuno's body can't keep up he is sure if he hadn't used shunpo then his neck would have been cut off by his dagger
Because not only his speed, but his strength is also on another level since he felt the pressure when Demi human hit the wall, he only concluded that head on fight would be his loss
Yuno is sure to defeat him by using his Kidō spells since it's directly attack souls and no way demi human can withstand that but it might cause an uproar among gods and goddesses as well as many adventurers seeing me using something like that and might give his goddess more trouble which he definitely doesn't want to happen, especially after that Denatus incident
Demi-human as soon he saw that he missed his target, quickly picked up the scent and rushed towards the other direction where yuno currently even without looking
Yuno quickly again used shunpo as he escaped his clutches yet again, yuno felt this situation problematic because demi human speed is too fast for him to keep up as well and his strength is also much stronger than before
Right now only Shunpo is helping him to keep his distance from him otherwise he would have no way to even that first blow from him
'If he faster then I just need to make him slower' yuno said to himself in mind as he decided to make a move and concentrate on the power of his devil fruit
When Demi human about to launch his fierce attack again, he feels his body heavy as a result his speed decreases to the point where yuno can match him
*phew~*
'This will work for now' yuno thought as he released a tired sigh because he just increased the gravity of the whole arena which is consuming a lot out of him
even though he also can increase the gravity of the demi-human body which will consume less stamina but the problem is that it requires concentration which is not possible for him to do right now otherwise he won't be able to focus on the fight and become an easy target for him
So yuno simply increased the gravity of the entire arena in order to reduce the human but sadly he couldn't increase more gravity because that would take more toll on his body than he currently could handle
'Still, this is enough' yuno inwardly said as he got ready to fight since with this he is confident enough to dodge his attacks while attacking him which is plenty but he needed to finish this fast otherwise he might not be able to maintain this gravity field
Yuno quickly covered his sword with Advanced Armament Haki as he saw demi human coming towards him with a heavy blood lust
...
In the audience…
"What's going on, Freya!?!" Hestia asked this in a furious voice while looking at Freya who is still sitting on her luxurious throne and watching the fight
She seems to put on mind on Hestia's furious tone as she continues to watch the fight with a smile on her face
"Answer me!" Hestia again asked in a loud tone, as she looked at Freya angrily who is completely ignoring her
"Don't worry~" Freya finally replied as she finally got tired of Hestia's continuous whining
"That's my child skill~ so it's all under control~" she continued to speak as she took a break while she looked back towards Hestia
and finally again continued in her same frivolous tone "After all it was your child who chose his opponent~ you should have some faith in him, hestia-darling~"
Hearing this, Hestia quickly became silent because she couldn't find any words to refute her but still, this is not a friendly duel anymore, and she could see that Freya's child now is seriously trying to kill yuno
"Also I got healing potions as well as the best healer present here, so you don't need to worry about anything happening~" Freya cut off Hestia before she could even speak as Freya said this
And with that Freya turned back to the arena again and as she focused on fighting or more precisely on yuno
"Bu-" Hestia was about to say something again but before that, Hephaestus patted her shoulder gaining Hestia's attention
"It no use," Hephaestus said this as she knew Freya wouldn't listen to Hestia no matter what since she knows Freya do whatever she wants no matter what
"But then what about yuno?" Hestia asked with a worried tone since she saw how that demi-human attacked yuno
"See again," Hephaestus said as she also looked towards the arena, and they saw yuno fighting demi human on equal grounds or yuno had the upper hand due to his smaller body
"Believe in your child, alright?" Hephaestus continued to speak as she made Hestia see this since she also wanted to help but was powerless to help her, so she could only give Hestia hope
