Jennifer's room was large, but it was not enough to accommodate tens of people that were supposed to fight against each other.
It was exactly because of this reason that they had decided to fight inside the highly reinforced rooms.
Before the walls would break down, and finally crumble under the intense force of the released attacks, some time would have to pass.
In that duration, Luna wanted everyone to kill, or at least, severely injure as many assassins as possible.
With only a small door to allow the assassins through, the groups that had been formed earlier could work together to defeat their opponents.
While this scenario appeared to be good on paper, but practically, it didn't work in Jason and Jennifer's case.
Jennifer was much stronger than Jason, and so were her opponents.
Now, it was too late to form a new plan so they could only brace themselves as the assassins rushed through the door.
In the end, the first ones to arrive inside through the door frame were at the Ascendion stage, evidently Jennifer's opponents.
Because of their high cultivation base, Jason was unable to help Jennifer.
Fortunately, that was not required because Jennifer had the unique advantage to strike with extremely compressed attacks using her mana, and enhanced mind to create complex affinity attacks.

Owing to this information, Jennifer immediately released her three cultivation energies, with which she was able to increase her basic strength to a higher state than the opponent in front of her.
Adding to that, she merged the three energies together, before using her affinity to conjure an attack with a terrifying degree of lethality.
The door frame was blasted apart, as an unstable, gigantic spike of light was shot towards the oblivious assassin.
With no room to move backward because the other assassins were pushing him forward, the foremost assassin had no choice but to release his entire energy, and deflect the attack with all his might.
Despite that, his efforts were futile as the merged energies pierced through the Devir's defenses, while the light spike penetrated right through his body, obliterating him completely.
Witnessing everything with a shocked expression, Jason couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
He had never seen Jennifer use an attack like that, and looking at the wooden floor that was torn open without having been touched, he felt as if he had grossly underestimated Jennifer's strength.
'She was still holding back…or is she still?' He asked himself before staring straight at the door frame that had been replaced with a large, gaping hole.
Now, two assassins were able to fit through the opening at the same time, but that didn't make much of a difference to Jennifer, who was not even panting.
It was as if the attack she had just thrown at her opponents was nothing but child's play.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "64cc9e79c7059f003e4ad4b0", id: "pf-5109-1"})Not knowing whether he should laugh or cry, Jason could see the horror in the eyes of the other assassins as he saw them cowering behind the wall.
They were waiting for a better opportunity to attack, but even after several moments had passed, nobody moved, ignoring the fact that there had already been multiple opportunities.
While the newly advanced Prismar stage beings had arrived behind the Ascendion stage assassins, they were already showing signs of reluctance to continue attacking.
Seeing this through his Emperor Eyes, Jason felt certain that they were not professional assassins.
Had they been true to their profession, death, or a powerful opponent, wouldn't deter them.
Jason found this interesting, but it was not enough to make him waste time.
Instead, he did something else that could hopefully lessen their trouble as he used voice transmission to communicate with Jennifer.
[The strongest assassin is four meters to the left of the door frame, and the biggest crowd of assassins has gathered around seven meters from the right side of the door frame!]
Despite being in a hurry, Jennifer listened to what Jason said before using the intel to initiate two more attacks.
Like before, she conjured a total of four attacks that were similar to the first one.
Throwing two on each side keeping in mind the distance conveyed by Jason, the first attack broke through the room's walls, before the second attack pierced through the crumbling wall, hitting the targeted assassins.
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})When the other assassins saw how their comrades were being killed through the walls, they instinctively realised that there was no time to waste.
Otherwise, they might become Jennifer's next target.
Even if they didn't know how she was able to decipher where the strongest of their group had been, it was clear that they had to act, the faster the better.
Thus, after the first one rushed through the doors, the others followed suit, barging through the wide opening without any hesitation.
After having fired a total of five attacks with the usage of a vast amount of energy, Jennifer was beginning to show the first signs of exhaustion.
This was only logical, and Jason expected this to be the case, either way.
As such, she was fortunate that there were only a total of seven unscathed beings at the Ascendion stage that were left.
Within the biggest crowd of assassins, there had been two assassins at the Ascendion stage.
They were now heavily injured, while the strongest among all assassins were already dead, owing to the surprise attack.
It had been foolish of the strongest assassin to act so recklessly, but at the same time, nobody would've expected the walls that were constructed out of material at the Ascendion rank to crumble as if it was made of sand
The walls were supposed to be strong enough to endure the tireless attacks of an Ascendion stage being, for at least a minute, after all!
While Jennifer was relatively fortunate with the number of opponents she had to defeat, Jason's situation looked a little bit different.
Owing to the entire wall that was crumbling, he would have to face the vast majority of his opponents at once.
The room was large, but that was still not enough to give sufficient space for all assassins that had been ordered to target Jason, to enter the room.
There had been far more than 30 newly advanced Prisma stage beings Jason had counted in the beginning, and even after Jennifer had wreaked havoc, the number didn't seem to decline.
Because of that, Jason would have to face tens of opponents that were not only at the Prisma stage but also able to use their surroundings to their advantage.
'Am I really supposed to face a total of 30 opponents at once, in that small room?!'
Before he had already been doubtful if that was feasible, but now he couldn't help but sigh deeply, not sure whether Jennifer's attack had eased his situation, or not.
She had been able to defeat many annoying opponents with a seemingly simple surprise attack, but the crumbling wall annoyed him.
However, Jason couldn't help but think that the small room might not be a nuisance, but actually turn out to be helpful.
He only thought like this because there were several things he had to pay attention to. Initially, he had wanted to fight using Byakur and Petri's fusion, giving him an enhancement that elevated his innate strength to be at par with the assassins in front of him.
Yet, after thinking about it for a moment, he realised that physical strength was not the only thing he had. Solaris' fire was much stronger than most would expect when seeing him, a being at the Mid- Lique stage.
As such, with a faint smile on his lips, Jason stepped forward as he let Solaris enter his mana core.
