1177 -1162- So what

"Hehe!"

"Haha!"

Seeing La Folia's expression finally change for the first time since before, the Meyer sisters laughed heartily.

"Boom...!"

Under the influence of the grimoires held by the two, the power of the countless tentacles as guardians also rose sharply, lifting up a more intense sound of explosions, while swinging down wildly like countless whips, engulfing Rozen and La Folia in a storm-like frenzy.

"Bang bang bang...!"

Accompanied by a stunning series of impacts, the tentacle-whips continuously pounded down at an astonishing frequency, causing the entire cornerstone gate to tremble slightly.

The tremor was very slight.

However, it was enough to make anyone's complexion change.

Because the Keystone gate was no ordinary building, but reinforced with magic, serving as the island's four regions' support against ocean currents and as a treasure to stabilize against vibrations.

Without the Keystone gate, the four artificial islands comprising Itogami Island would scatter directly, possibly colliding, and combined with the ocean currents and vibrations, they would sink completely.

Such a pillar supporting the island's weight was undoubtedly sturdy.

Even the weight of the entire Itogami Island could be supported by this building, yet the Meyer sisters' guardians could cause it to tremble. The difference in power compared to before was simply like night and day.

Moreover, the enhancement of these guardians was not only in strength.

Under the influence of "No.193," the guardians' tentacles now possessed special attributes.

"To think they dare to attempt to burn through our guardians again?"

"How ignorant!"

Emma and Octavia, this pair of witch sisters, scoffed brazenly, showing no hint of pity towards Rozen and La Folia, who were likely turning into minced meat under the tentacles' frenzied attack.

The only thing this pair of sisters had was dissatisfaction.

"Killing them in one go out of anger is just boring."

Emma, who enjoyed watching others' pain and despair, sneered.

"Isn't this also good? Sister?"

Octavia, who enjoyed gorgeously slaughtering others, felt satisfied.

However...

"Even guardians of that level, after receiving the magic of the grimoire, can become somewhat interesting. No wonder grimoires are seen as dangerous objects."

Such a voice sounded leisurely behind the Meyer sisters.

"————!"

The smiles on the Meyer sisters' faces collapsed on the spot, and they turned around in shock, looking panicked and confused behind them.

There, the figures of a boy and a girl swayed like a mirage, slowly appearing.

"You've been careless."

La Folia finally looked directly at the countless tentacles.

Rozen muttered to himself.

"The ability of 'No.193' is to pre-establish harmony, giving guardians special attributes that make them impervious to any attack and unstoppable by any defense, manipulating causality as a grimoire."

This was the reason why La Folia's jutsuryoku bullet had been directly repelled.

The Meyer sisters' guardians not only received the astonishing magic provided by the grimoire, enhancing their strength, but also gained special attributes, becoming invulnerable and unblockable.

"Just the power of a book, and it can accomplish such things. No wonder so many people can't resist the power of grimoires and end up being consumed by them."

La Folia, like Rozen, muttered to herself.

But this time, the Meyer sisters couldn't get angry anymore.

Perhaps because they were already familiar with the means Rozen used to escape their guardians' attacks just now, they were too familiar with it.

"Space manipulation magic...!?"

"No... that's impossible!"

The Meyer sisters involuntarily took a step back.

"W-Why can an ordinary human use space manipulation magic instantly...!?"

"T-That's... a power only highly skilled witches should possess...!"

The Meyer sisters were filled with horror.

For ordinary humans, while space manipulation magic wasn't an impossible miracle, even highly skilled mages needed thorough preparation to successfully cast it, and there were many limitations.

Even witches who had made contracts with demons, thus gaining magic comparable to high-ranking demons, couldn't use space manipulation magic just like that.

And the only person who should be able to freely wield space manipulation magic on this island is one person.

That person is none other than the leader who defeated the Meyer sisters ten years ago, the presence that scared off this witch sister duo—the "Witch of the Void."

Now, Rozen actually used space manipulation magic at will in that brief moment?

This realization dawned on the Meyer sisters simultaneously.

"You... you're that despicable 'Witch of the Void's' brother...!?"

Emma finally recognized Rozen's identity, calling out in shock and anger.

"The Divine Child of Origin...!"

Octavia also gasped.

As a world-renowned magical criminal organization, how could the Meyer sisters not know about Minamiya Natsuki, who had a suspected divine child as a brother and even sealed the Fourth Primogenitor within him?

Since they intended to cause trouble on this island, the Meyer sisters couldn't have not expected to encounter this terrifying entity.

But they probably never expected Rozen to arrive so quickly, did they?

And...

"The surrounding space has already been distorted like this...!"

"Why can he still perform spatial teleportation...?"

The Meyer sisters were filled with immense fear.

Rozen raised his gaze, looking at the two.

"What's there to be surprised about?" Rozen sneered, "If it were long-distance spatial teleportation, it would be understandable, but just within such a short distance, even if the space is distorted, so what?"

With Rozen's abilities, if it were only at close range, then he could completely multitask, stabilizing the space on one hand and performing spatial teleportation on the other.

If it were long-distance, Rozen wouldn't be able to manipulate such a large area of space, unable to stabilize the space far away, and could only stabilize the space while flying over.

And even if he didn't stabilize the space first, with Rozen's Mind's Eye ability, he could completely discern the distorted patterns, reassemble the technique, correct the trajectory, and perform precise spatial jumps.

"To be afraid of this level, you two dare to come back with such high spirits."

Rozen spoke extremely sarcastically.

"Even if you run away with your tails between your legs, you could still at least save your lives."

With that, Rozen's pair of eyes seemed to ignite, turning into a fiery red hue.

"Boom————!"

A blaze suddenly erupted from the bodies of the Meyer sisters without any warning, covering them.

"Ahhhhhh————!"

The two sisters immediately screamed in agony.
