-1383- [ Tenyuryo ]

"Splurt!"

Amidst the chaotic battlefield, a crisp, sharp tearing sound echoed, reaching everyone's ears.

"...!"

The students of Hagun Academy widened their eyes.

"...!"

The attackers from the other academies were horrified.

"...!"

Edelweiss's expression changed slightly.

"...!"

Wallenstein's voice came to an abrupt halt, revealing a stunned expression.

A wave of unbearable pain surged through Wallenstein, causing blood to pour from his nose and mouth, his body covered in bloodstains.

Wallenstein could only stand there in a daze, looking across from him.

There, Rozen stood, indifferent as if he had done nothing at all, his eyes full of mockery.

In this situation, Wallenstein struggled to slowly lower his head and look at his own body.

The next moment, Wallenstein saw it.

On his chest, a bloody hole had appeared.

Blood poured out, staining Wallenstein's body and the ground beneath him.

Both his heart and lungs had been pierced.

"How...?"

Wallenstein mumbled in a daze, blood dripping from his mouth.

At this moment, a white flash streaked through the air, returning to Rozen's side with a whooshing sound and revealing its true form.

It was a spear.

A spear with a pure white color, designed very advancedly, not only with smooth mechanical lines but also with a structure as sharp and lightweight as wings.

If Himeragi Yukina were here, she would immediately recognize this spear.

Because this spear was exactly the same as her Sekkaro, except for its pure white color, with no differences—the Lion King Agency's Vajra Weapon, Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven.

After extensive research, Rozen had fully grasped the magical knowledge within the grimoire given to him by the Lion King Agency.

Among them, naturally included the engraved technique derived from the divine lance left by the Devas—the Divine Vibration Wave Technique.

Moreover, during the Flaming Banquet, Rozen also obtained a holy lance. Combining the secrets of the Divine Vibration Wave Technique, he successfully developed a new weapon, incorporating the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven into his arsenal.

Of course, Rozen was not skilled in spear techniques, and his close combat abilities could not compare to an anti-demon specialist like Yukina. Using this spear himself would not only fail to harness its power but might even render him unable to use his magic, drastically reducing his strength.

Therefore, Rozen decided without hesitation during the development of the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven.

"I'll turn this spear into my familiar."

Just as the Injunction Shackles fused with ten Valkyries to become a living weapon, forming an absolute contract with him, becoming his familiar etched into his soul, Rozen planned to turn the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven into a living weapon and use it as a familiar.

This way, Rozen would not need to use the spear himself, avoiding the need to display his poor close combat skills, and could fully utilize his top-tier summoning, control, and manipulation talents, using the spear to its utmost potential.

Furthermore, if the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven fought as a living weapon, Rozen wouldn't have to worry about being unable to use his magic.

Therefore, Rozen made the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven into a living weapon.

For Rozen, this was not difficult.

Like with the Valkyries, Rozen's astonishing jutsuryoku proficiency allowed him to make the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven into his shikigami using a mecha-like construction method.

Then, as its creator, the shikigami's loyalty to Rozen was unquestionable, forming an absolute contract easily.

Thus, the transformed living weapon Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven became one of Rozen's many familiars, ready to be summoned and becoming the sharpest, fastest spear on the battlefield, cutting through all barriers and nullifying all magic.

Due to its abilities, Rozen couldn't summon it with magic power but had to use spiritual power. Hence, rather than calling it a familiar or beast vassal, it was more like a shikigami.

Now, Rozen had summoned this spear, ending Wallenstein.

Near-invincible abilities?

Such abilities were useless against the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven's effects.

When the spear tip touched Wallenstein's body, his magic was nullified, his abilities completely disappeared, and he was ultimately pierced through the heart, meeting his demise.

Rozen named this exclusive spear——

"Tenyuryo"

This was the new familiar Rozen developed over the years, using a mecha-like construction method, with the holy lance as the core, and the secrets of the Divine Vibration Wave Technique.

"I didn't originally want to use it, just wanted to teach you a lesson, give you a blow, and let you live if you could."

Rozen, with the white spear flying around him like a stream of light, spoke expressionlessly to Wallenstein.

"Your gaze makes me uncomfortable, like looking at a foolish kid. Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?"

Want to make a name off him?

Want to act superior, treating his actions as youthful recklessness?

Then Rozen didn't mind waking Wallenstein up.

Only...

"The price is your life."

With this sentence, Wallenstein's eyes dimmed completely.

No time for regret or any thought, Wallenstein fell.

"Thud..."

The sound of him hitting the ground was not loud, but it seemed to echo in everyone's hearts, striking their minds heavily, shocking them.

Watching Wallenstein lying in a pool of blood, lifeless, everyone knew that from this moment, one of the famed 12 Apostles of Rebellion, known as the One-Armed Swordsman, no longer existed.

"Retreat!"

Tatara Yui made the decision without hesitation, turning and fleeing.

"Sphinx!"

Under Kazamatsuri Rinna's panicked shout, the black lion roared in anger and fear, leaping away at full speed.

Sara Bloodlily swung her paintbrush, scattering blue paint and disappearing as if sinking into water.

As for Shinomiya Amane, he had long since left.

Only Kurogane Ouma remained, staring at the blood-soaked Wallenstein with contracted pupils.

Finally, Kurogane Ouma gave Rozen a deep look, his hand holding the sword trembling slightly, before creating a whirlwind and disappearing.

The attackers all retreated.

"Wait...!"

The students of Hagun Academy only then reacted, wanting to pursue but it was too late.

They could only look blankly at the fallen Wallenstein.

Edelweiss, on the other hand, watched the white spear around Rozen, her eyes full of waves.
