-728- Massacre

"Buzz!"

On the battlefield, the friction and conflicts between magical forces were like an invisible storm, creating a resonating hum that echoed throughout.

Facing eight powerful automata from the enemy, Yaya, while not releasing an astonishing amount of magical power, had her "Kongouriki" rapidly in operation, causing a continuous surge of power that quickly surpassed all other automata present.

Under Rozen's control, Yaya unleashed her full potential as the world's highest-grade automaton.

In an instant, she dashed into the encirclement of knights, much like a tiger among sheep.

"Are they asking for death?"

Seeing this, the four operators controlling MK4-type Maschinensoldats were delighted. They released their magical power, allowing the four MK4 Maschinensoldats to glide through the air as if they were weightless, leaving behind a trace of movement impossible to predict, resembling birds speeding by in the sky.

Their actions seemed to defy the laws of physics, displaying no coherence and lacking any signs or premonitions. Consequently, these knights moved at incredible speed, making it impossible to track them.

Unfortunately, before Rozen's "Mind's Eye," these four knights manipulating molecular movement had already been thoroughly observed, and their attacks were completely anticipated.

With Rozen's manipulation of magic, Yaya appeared as if she had eyes on her back, effortlessly turning around. Her kimono sleeves, toughened to the limit by "Kongouriki," felt like two incredibly heavy pieces of steel, and she swung them fiercely.

"Boom!"

With a loud muffled impact, her kimono, hardened to the extreme by "Kongouriki," struck the four MK4 Maschinensoldats, sending them flying with great force.

However, at this moment, another set of four Maschinensoldats arrived in front of Yaya.

Naturally, these were four MK5 Maschinensoldats.

These four Maschinensoldats all gripped unique weapons.

Rosenberg's controlled Maschinensoldat held a massive tower shield.

Schneider's controlled Maschinensoldat wielded a broad-bladed greatsword.

The Weizsäcker Sisters controlled two Maschinensoldats, each holding a long spear.

The four MK5 Maschinensoldats rushed towards Yaya.

"Die!"

Schneider, who had a volatile temper, was the first to take action.

His Maschinensoldat erupted with a speed far surpassing anyone else, resembling a gust of howling wind as it zoomed towards Yaya.

Under Rozen's "Mind's Eye," the unprecedented acceleration in the molecular movement direction of the opponent was observed, causing the Maschinensoldat controlled by Schneider to move at astonishing speed and release incredible power.

In the next moment, Schneider's Maschinensoldat's broad-bladed greatsword descended like thunder, mercilessly striking.

The blow cleaved through the air with such force that it would have split even the thickest steel in two.

The terrifying strike landed on Yaya's forehead.

"Clang!"

Amid the resounding sound, the broad-bladed greatsword struck Yaya's forehead, generating a storm-like shockwave that expanded in all directions.

However...

"Blocked!?"

Schneider was taken aback.

The strike, potent enough to cleave mountains and rocks, landed on Yaya's head, but it was as if it hit an impenetrable wall of copper and iron. It only produced intense sparks.

Schneider then recalled one crucial detail: Yaya's defense was potent enough to repel even the "Gram," capable of destroying anything.

"A mere weapon cannot harm Yaya."

Yaya declared, her slender and long thighs transformed into a flash as she went straight for the Maschinensoldat clutching the broad-bladed greatsword.

"Swish!"

At that moment, Rosenberg, holding a tower shield, managed to step in and block in front of Yaya.

*Clang!*

Another intense sound, like the striking of a bell, resounded. However, this time, Yaya's gleaming kick landed on the tower shield, creating ripples and disturbances on its surface.

The force that could have instantly pierced an MK3 Maschinensoldat was unable to budge the tower shield when directed at it. In that instant, Rozen's "Mind's Eye" observed the astonishing stability in the molecular movement direction of the Maschinensoldat wielding the tower shield, rendering it as unshakable as a rock.

"Impressive defense, able to withstand even the 'Gram,'" Rosenberg remarked with a smirk.

"But when it comes to defence, my Automaton won't lose to anyone."

Saying so, Rosenberg snapped his fingers.

Beside him, the Weizsäcker Sisters chimed in.

"Send her flying!"

"Flying, flying!"

The two girls exclaimed like playful children, prompting the two Maschinensoldats wielding long spears to flank Rozen's Maschinensoldat. They thrust their long spears at Yaya.

"Thud!"

In the tumultuous gust of wind, Yaya was sent flying.

Even though the opponents hadn't used much force, Yaya was propelled with ease.

The crucial detail was that at the moment the long spears touched Yaya, her molecular movement direction exhibited an uncontrollable sign of "backwards."

Clearly observing this phenomenon, Rozen finally understood.

"So, this is what the MK5 is like."

Rozen muttered to himself.

"Is this the true nature of the MK5?"

Rozen discerned the uniqueness of the four Maschinensoldats.

Unaware of this, Rozen, Schneider, and the Weizsäcker Sisters were all smiling when they saw Yaya being pushed back.

Without realizing it, Rozen's magic surged once again.

This magical power broke through space and time, attracting countless magic in the instant it passed through the atmosphere, causing it to grow as formidable as a tsunami. It was then injected into Yaya's body, which was still in mid-air.

"Boom!"

Finally, Yaya's body erupted with terrifying magic. However, this magic was perfectly controlled, smoothly circulating within her without leaking.

Just then, the four MK4-type Maschinensoldaten, who had just been sent flying by Yaya in one shot, crossed indistinct paths from all directions, encircling Yaya.

"So, this is the end for you!" the puppeteers controlling the MK4-type Automatons shouted, as if trying to redeem their earlier humiliation.

Little did they know that true despair awaited them.

Yaya activated her magic, swirled around, and leaped onto a suddenly expanded shield of psychic energy. This shield was the "Magic Defense" that Rozen employed.

In mid-air, Rozen expanded the psychic energy shield of "Magic Defense," turning it into Yaya's stepping stone.

"Bang!"

Yaya shattered the "Magic Defense" shield beneath her feet, arresting her backward flight. She transformed into a streak of moonlight and darted towards the four MK4-type Maschinensoldaten, who had attempted to encircle her.

Completely unprepared for Yaya's counterattack in this manner, the four MK4-type Maschinensoldaten couldn't react in time. Yaya pounced on them.

"Hah!"

Yaya let out a fierce battle cry, delivering a spinning kick, accompanied by a powerful gust of wind, squarely to one of the Maschinensoldaten's heads.

"Thud!"

The incredible force caused the Maschinensoldaten's head to explode.

The puppeteers controlling the Maschinensoldaten hadn't used "Fragarach" to fix the molecular motion direction and reinforce their defense, leading to the direct demise of this particular Maschinensoldaten.

Yaya, now like a bloodthirsty valkyrie, spun around amid the splattering blood of the Maschinensoldaten without heads. She extended her hands and, like squeezing ripe persimmons, crushed the necks of two other Maschinensoldaten who had passed by her from either side.

"Squish! Crack!"

With two cracking sounds, the necks of the two Maschinensoldaten were crushed like tomatoes, causing blood to spurt out.

"No!"

"No!"

The puppeteers controlling them screamed in horror.

In the blink of an eye, Yaya single-handedly eliminated three Maschinensoldaten, reducing them to ashes without a trace.

As for the remaining MK4-type Maschinensoldat, who had become the lone survivor, they halted their flight and stared in astonishment at Yaya, bathed in the blood shower.

Yaya raised her gaze, fixing it on the only surviving MK4-type Maschinensoldat.

"No! No!"

The puppeteer of the Maschinensoldat screamed in fear.

"Run!"

Under the puppeteer's frantic cry, the Maschinensoldat, who seemed to have lost their wits, didn't hesitate and turned to flee, as if their soul had been shattered.

"Yaya."

Rozen's voice was as emotionless as the Grim Reaper.

"Yes!"

Yaya shook off the splattered blood from her body, shot out like a rocket, and pursued the sole surviving MK4-type Maschinensoldat.

As Yaya swiftly dealt with three MK4-type Maschinensoldaten in the blink of an eye and continued her pursuit of the remaining one, the smiles on Rosenberg and the others' faces were replaced with astonishment, and they finally reacted.

"You, Don't even..!" Rosenberg exclaimed, awakening from what felt like a nightmare. He controlled a tower shield Maschinensoldat and ordered it to charge forward.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Hum!"

The air trembled as Rozen's magic power suddenly surged and transformed into pure psychic energy, enhancing Yaya's speed significantly, pulling her closer to the fleeing Maschinensoldat as if she was being drawn in.

"Boom!"

A heavy palm strike landed on the back of that Maschinensoldat, right in the position of its heart.

"Squish!"

The Maschinensoldat immediately spewed blood, with fragments of its heart mixed in.

The last MK4-type Maschinensoldat's heart was destroyed, and it turned into ashes on the spot, vanishing without a trace.

"Shhh..."

A pile of ashes fell from the sky, covering the ground.

The scene was chilling.
