Boom—!
The enormous ray-shaped spirit slammed viciously into the airship, making it shake violently without pause.
Wood chips frequently flew from the airship's hull.
Struck by the massive impact, the airship floating above the sea of clouds gradually lost altitude.
Under such attacks, the Elf Users from teams representing various nations had all gathered on the deck. Yet amid hushed whispers, they chose to remain where they were, not intervening as they quietly watched their surroundings.
Seeing this, not only Alice, but Claire, Linse Laurenhrost, Fianna, and the other girls were all stunned.
"Why?" Linse Laurenhrost asked in confusion.
"Why isn't anyone doing anything?"
The airship was clearly under attack and could fall at any moment, so why was no one stepping in?
Although the ray spirit's destructive power was astonishing, it was not impossible to deal with. It posed a considerable threat to ordinary Elf Users, but every Elf User here was an elite from their respective country. They should not have feared a Military Spirit that had not even reached tactical grade.
Not to mention that the Elf Users here were all part of teams.
Even if one person could not subdue the attacking Military Spirit alone, the entire team working together should have had no trouble taking it down.
So why was no one acting?
Seeing the girls' bewildered expressions, Noah explained.
"These people aren't acting partly to conceal their strength, and partly to observe the Elf Users from the other teams."
The girls were not stupid.
