-998- The sudden change of situation

"————"

A flash, filling the entire field of view.

That was the phenomenon caused by the appearance of huge diamond-like crystals floating around the giant diamond ram.

Countless crystal gems, like cannonballs, bombarded the earth in front of the diamond ram, smashing, shattering, and collapsing the ground as if it had been attacked by artillery, sinking it.

The earth, ravaged in such a way, emitted another cry, trembling repeatedly, giving the sensation of the earth shaking, which was terrifying.

Facing such an attack, even Rozen didn't dare to be overconfident in defense. Instead, he used spatial teleportation to instantly evade the attack and disappear from the spot.

Reacting to such an attack was Hokuto, who was battling the bull-headed beast vassal and the double-horned war beast in the sky.

"Roar!"

Seeing Rozen being attacked by the diamond ram, Hokuto let out a roar full of anger, swiftly twisted his body, transformed into a streak of light, evading the axes that came crashing down, then suddenly soared high, dodging the horns that charged towards him.

Resolving the attacks of the two beast vassals, Hokuto ascended into the air while gathering massive dragon aura from his mouth.

The next moment, a freezing breath sprayed out from Hokuto's mouth.

That was naturally Hokuto's dragon breath.

Freezing the atmosphere completely, the freezing dragon breath, which left countless ice crystals in its wake, swiftly passed through space and descended towards the diamond ram.

If hit by such a massive dragon breath, even a beast vassal on the level of a Primogenitor would undoubtedly be frozen and turned into an ice sculpture.

However...

"Clang————!"

Facing the descending freezing dragon breath, countless crystal gems appeared around the diamond ram again, forming a barrier, each one lighting up.

The freezing dragon breath landed on the glowing gemstone barrier, freezing the ground below into ice.

But this dragon breath was instantly deflected by the barrier formed by the crystal gems.

No, it wasn't just deflected; it was reflected back, with even greater speed than before, piercing through space and crashing onto Hokuto.

Hokuto couldn't help but let out a painful groan, his body showered with ice particles, and his body frozen everywhere, forcing him to retreat quickly.

Using spatial teleportation to leave the battlefield, Rozen landed on the rooftop of a building, watching this scene, his eyes flickering.

That kind of power was not the first time Rozen had seen it.

"Reflection...?"

It was the ability to reflect attacks that touched oneself.

Rozen had seen this ability on the automatons led by Magnus, the doll named Kagerou possessed such power.

However, compared to the diamond ram in front of him, Kagerou's power was too weak, even if the abilities were similar, the scale was vastly different.

At least, Kagerou could only reflect a limited range of attacks, and it required preparation beforehand, and the upper limit of attacks it could withstand was not high.

Yaya, on the other hand, had already formed a certain degree of suppression. With Kagerou performance, it couldn't even touch Yaya.

But the current vassal was different.

The countless gemstones floating around it served as both shields and a massive barrier.

No matter what kind of attack it faced, once it touched those barriers, it would all be completely reflected back to the attacker.

Moreover, the beast vassal of the diamond ram could freely manipulate those gemstones, protecting all targets within sight, while also using them as an attack method, shooting them at enemies, causing massive impacts.

Therefore, this was a vassal that combined offense and defense and theoretically would never be defeated.

Symbolizing the eternal and flawless lamb of God, the first Beast vassal of the fourth Primogenitor—Mesarthim Adamas.

Perhaps, in terms of combat power and destructive power, this vassal couldn't match the giant god of the bull's head and the double-horned combat beast, but compared to such an unbeatable opponent, Rozen would rather face a powerful enemy.

After all, in terms of strength alone, Hokuto was almost invincible under the Grand level. Facing such opponents with special abilities was actually a tricky matter.

Of course, Rozen was unaware, but Balthazar Zaharias found it even more troublesome than him.

"Even the first Beast vessel has been deployed, three vassals in total, and they still can't take down a human kid?"

Balthazar Zaharias's expression turned somewhat grim.

No matter what, Balthazar Zaharias had not expected that the brother of the Witch of the Void would be so troublesome.

However, instead of causing Balthazar Zaharias to retreat, it only intensified his ambition.

"If the true fourth Primogenitor awakens, opponents of this level can be dealt with immediately."

Not to mention anything else, the magical power of the fourth Primogenitor, known as the strongest vampire in the world, far surpassed that of the individual Kaleid blood. Using beast vassals under his control, the power would definitely be more than this level.

Now, Hokuto could still continue to fight against three beast vassals, but if he were to face beast vassals controlled by the fourth Primogenitor, he would probably be suppressed.

Since Balthazar Zaharias was confident as the manager of powerful weapons, he naturally could judge how powerful his "weapons" were.

So...

"We must hold the Blazing Banquet as soon as possible to awaken the fourth Primogenitor."

Balthazar Zaharias thought so.

"Now, No. 8 should have already taken the No. 12, right?"

Balthazar Zaharias thought.

However, once again, things went beyond Balthazar Zaharias's expectations.

"Boom..."

A vast and incomparable magical power suddenly surged from another direction of Itogami Island.

"What?"

Rozen, standing on the rooftop of the building, turned around in surprise.

"This is...!?"

Balthazar Zaharias's expression also changed, turning his head abruptly to look over.

The next moment, both of them saw it.

In another direction of Itogami Island, amid a terrifying magical power, a vassal took shape.

Due to the distance, the full appearance of the vassal couldn't be clearly seen from here.

But both Rozen and Balthazar Zaharias could vaguely see that it was a huge phantom as clear and transparent as an ice river.

The upper body of the phantom was human female, while the lower body had the graceful posture of a fish tail, with wings on its back, resembling both a mermaid and a mythical bird.

And under the appearance of this beast vassal, the chilling aura of a dragon breath, comparable to Hokuto's, was spreading there, freezing the surrounding area into an ice field.

Then, the beast vassal disappeared.

While Rozen didn't care, Balthazar Zaharias recognized the origin of that beast vassal on the spot.

"Could it be... No. 12!?"

Balthazar Zaharias's expression changed again.

"No. 12? Wasn't it still sealed in the Ice?"

Rozen was equally astonished.

Then, Rozen remembered something, and his expression changed as well.

"This is bad!"

At that moment, Rozen ignored Balthazar Zaharias and directly turned around, disappearing without a trace.

"Roar!"

Hokuto immediately sensed it, also abandoning the two vassals he was facing and swiftly flew towards the direction of the ice field.

As the second and ninth were about to command their vassals to pursue, they were stopped.

"Let's go."

Balthazar Zaharias ordered with a stern face, taking his two kaleid blood and leaving.

The situation had thus changed.
