-1047- Various powers

Rozen understood very well that if the Fourth Primogenitor, known as the world's strongest vampire, her Beast Vassals must possess special abilities, more than just sheer strength.

The first Beast Vassal, Mesarthim Adamas, can reflect all attacks.

The second Beast Vassal, Cor Tauri Succinum, can manipulate lava and ignore any non-physical defenses.

The ninth Beast Vassal, Alnasl Minium, can manipulate high-frequency vibration waves, proficient in creating storms or destroying any tangible object.

Just these three Beast Vassals already possess extraordinary special abilities. Therefore, the rest of the Fourth Primogenitor's Beast Vassals must have abilities no less than these, perhaps even surpassing them.

Rozen was prepared for this. He opened his Mind's Eye to the fullest, even activating Spirit Vision and Heaven's Eye. With the assistance of Gyokuto, he heightened his senses and perception to the limit, attempting to grasp the abilities of the other six Beast Vassals.

However, Rozen didn't expect that in just the first round, he would be forced to the point where he couldn't even evade.

Using spatial shifting as a means of spatial jumping, Rozen managed to avoid Cor Tauri Succinum's lava spikes, but he almost got swallowed by Al Meissa Mercury along with the space.

"To actually devour space...!?"

No, not just space.

In Rozen's Mind's Eye, the space bitten by Mercury of the Dragon Serpent formed a vortex, swallowing everything around it.

Therefore, the existence of Al Meissa Mercury proves that it has the ability to devour everything it attacks, including space—a dimensional devouring ability.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The silver dual-headed dragon roared vigorously, emitting a fierce aura, continuing to pounce towards Rozen.

The speed was incredibly fast.

"...!"

Seeing the scene of the two dragon heads of Al Meissa Mercury opening wide and fiercely pouncing towards him, Rozen's whole body's hair stood on end.

He must not be bitten by it.

Absolutely cannot be bitten by it.

Otherwise, even Kinu wouldn't be able to protect him.

Because this Beast Vassal can definitely devour divine power; this was Rozen's intuition.

It was only at this moment that Rozen remembered the significance of the Fourth Primogenitor's existence.

"A weapon to slay the divine..."

Indeed.

This Primogenitor, who can even slay gods, naturally possesses means to counter divine power.

The existence of Al Meissa Mercury, the third Beast Vassal, proves this.

Therefore...

"Order!"

Rozen suddenly cast several spells.

They were not elemental spells, but protective talismans.

The talismans arranged one after another, dancing and rotating like a dance, came to surround Al Meissa Mercury, forming a barrier.

That barrier was the Magic-Imbued Barrier, capable of imprisoning magic—The "Anti-Magic Barrier".

"Bang!"

The pouncing Al Meissa Mercury, caught off guard, directly crashed into the barrier and bounced off.

If it were an ordinary barrier, with the strength of a Primogenitor-level Beast Vassal, it would have shattered like glass long ago. However, the "Anti-Magic Barrier" is capable of imprisoning magic. For a being that is essentially a condensation of magic, like a Beast Vassal, it is impossible to break it with magic.

Thanks to this, Rozen managed to escape from the terrifying dragon's jaws.

However...

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a mighty roar, terrifying lightning flashed.

It was the fifth Beast Vassal—Regulus Aurum.

This giant lion, cloaked in golden thunder, roared while carrying the thunderstorm, charging towards Rozen like a true lightning bolt, with a tremendous momentum.

Its speed even surpassed that of Al Meissa Mercury, approaching at lightning speed.

"A Beast Vassal capable of manipulating lightning?"

It seems that the ability of the fifth Beast Vassal, Regulus Aurum, is the ability to control lightning.

Although simple, its power is unparalleled.

Among many attributes, lightning has always been a force of great power and astonishing speed. If touched by this Beast Vassal, even if just grazed by its claws, an ordinary person would turn to dust. If The Golden Lion were to descend to the ground, this island would probably sink.

However, the opponent may not know that Rozen has a childhood friend who is skilled in using lightning and possesses spells to counter lightning spells within the "Imperial Onmyodo".

"East, Agni! West, Sudarshana! South, Chakravartin! North, Sudharma Eka—"

Rozen consecutively formed four seals, chanting the names of the four thunder gods and their respective directions.

This is a technique in "Imperial Onmyodo" used to counter lightning magic—the "Lightning-Averting Spell".

With the thunderstorm looming, Regulus Aurum, charging with a terrifying momentum, was diverted by the magical force emanating from Rozen's body, like a bent lightning bolt, shooting towards the sky, disappearing into the clouds, where lightning flashed, as if a storm was about to come.

Indeed, the rain came.

A genuine torrential rain.

"Boom!"

Amidst the thunderous roar, a surging torrent emerged around Rozen.

It was a water spirit transformed into a torrent by a beautiful female upper body and a serpent lower body, with snake hair—the Beast Vassal, Sadalmelik Albus.

The water spirit surged forward with a smile, transforming into a torrential downpour, rolling towards Rozen.

The scale was no longer just waves, but a tsunami.

"Then let's use the 'Water-Averting Spell'..."

Just as Rozen was considering this, the Gyokuto ring worn on his finger suddenly trembled violently, warning him.

Rozen's gaze sharpened, immediately changing his mind. A golden aura radiated from his feet, and he made strange steps, disappearing on the spot.

Advanced jutsuryoku that can move at ultra-high speed within spiritual veins—The "Far Step".

Using this technique, Rozen entered the spiritual veins, avoiding the incoming tsunami.

As it turned out, Rozen's move was wise.

The tsunami, losing its target, touched the ground, causing the artificial island to start disintegrating.

Yes.

Disintegrating.

Not destruction, but decomposition, turning the earth back into soil, making the soil turn into gravel, and ultimately disappearing without a trace.

Rozen, who entered the spiritual veins, saw this scene and couldn't help but gasp.

The torrent transformed by the eleventh Beast Vassal, Sadalmelik Albus, could actually decompose matter like this?

No, that wasn't decomposition.

Rozen, with his Mind's Eye, could see it.

It was the ability to revert everything back to its original state.

"The reversal of time..."

That's the ability of Sadalmelik Albus.

Once affected by its ability, not only humans, but even gods would rapidly regress, eventually becoming children, then infants, until they regressed to their original form, disappearing, ultimately ceasing to exist.

This is basically taking away others' accumulated time, or rather, squeezing it dry in an instant.

If Rozen had just used the "Water-Averting Spell" against the enemy, wouldn't even the jutsuryoku have been dissolved, along with Rozen himself, completely ceasing to exist?

And this isn't even all of the original power.

"Roar!"

The roar sounded once again.

However, this time, the one roaring wasn't the dual-headed dragon or the mighty thunder lion, but the eighth Beast Vassal—Shaula Viola.

The lion-headed, human-bodied, scorpion-tailed beast plunged from the sky and fiercely bit into the ground.

In that instant, Rozen felt it.

"The spiritual veins are being sucked away...?"
