-1137- Loyalty of the Valkyries

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"

Accompanied by a blur of images, ten talismans floated out one by one in a radiance, transforming into valkyries, lining up neatly in front of Rozen, and kneeling down.

"Master!"

"Master!"

The valkyries respectfully greeted Rozen one by one, their eyes full of anticipation, as if they knew what would happen next.

Seeing the valkyries like this, Rozen couldn't help but smile.

Ever since Rozen's strength surpassed the norm, the valkyries were basically no longer useful. For Rozen now, the upper-level familiars were too weak, and being able to summon thousands of familiars of this level with a wave of his hand rendered these ten valkyries useless, leaving them neglected.

In the past, when Rozen hadn't resolved his magic issues, the valkyries could serve as backup magic, but after Rozen sealed the Fourth Primogenitor within himself, even this role was unnecessary.

If things continued like this, these ten shikigami would surely remain dormant forever.

Rozen had created them himself, but to let them suffer such neglect pained him deeply.

And the valkyries probably felt dejected about it too, right?

So, now that they finally had a chance to be useful and to transform into Rozen's new power, the valkyries were naturally filled with anticipation.

Rozen could see this emotion in the eyes of these ten.

So, Rozen didn't beat around the bush.

"Since you all already understand, I don't need to explain further, right?"

Rozen said to the valkyries in front of him.

"I plan to merge you with the Injunction Shackles, becoming the will, life, and soul within the Injunction Shackles."

That was Rozen's plan.

Just like with Kinu and Gyokuto before, Rozen intended to let the valkyries possess the Injunction Shackles, making them not only his familiars but also his tools and weapons.

In doing so, Rozen's Injunction Shackles would evolve into beings like Kinu and Gyokuto, possessing true life and will, able to attack, bind, and defend automatically at Rozen's command.

"Of course, you will also become like Kinu and Gyokuto, with the chance to form an absolute contract with me."

Rozen said to the valkyries.

"How about it? Are you willing?"

Rozen made a final confirmation.

But this was unnecessary.

As familiars created by Rozen himself, the valkyries were absolutely loyal to him. No matter what Rozen said, they couldn't oppose him.

Moreover, this was a rare opportunity for them to transform and fight for Rozen in a different form. How could the valkyries possibly object?

"We are willing to become Master's weapon, familiar, and even beast vassal! We will fight for Master!"

The valkyries declared in unison.

"Please grant us the opportunity to reside eternally in the seat of the soul, Master!"

The valkyries all bowed their heads.

"Good!"

Rozen nodded heavily.

"Then let's begin."

With these words, Rozen formed hand seals.

"Yes, Master!"

The valkyries echoed loudly, transforming into a burst of light and returning to the form of talismans, floating towards the empty space.

There, countless white chains emerged from ripples in space, converging in midair to form a continuously rotating ball of chains.

The ten talismans floated around it, emitting light one by one, enveloping the chains.

"Clap!"

Rozen suddenly clapped his hands and began chanting an incantation.

The solemn incantation hovered, causing waves of jutsuryoku to continuously ripple.

Rozen also set up a barrier around to prevent the leakage of jutsuryoku and waking up others.

After all, around Rozen, there were no ordinary people like Nagisa, Avrora, or Yukina. If the disturbance here leaked out, it would definitely alarm them, and even awaken the God of Fault sleeping within Kojou's body, which would be a big problem.

Rozen made detailed arrangements and then began his work.

This wasn't the first time Rozen had done something like this.

With examples like Kinu and Gyokuto before, plus his vast knowledge, Rozen knew exactly what to do.

Even Rozen's right hand, the Miracle, began to shine directly, connecting the souls of Rozen and the ten valkyries, opening the door between soul and soul.

The valkyries' loyalty to Rozen was beyond doubt, and forming an absolute contract was completely unproblematic.

Rozen prepared to merge the valkyries into the Injunction Shackles while forming an absolute contract with them.

Under such circumstances, the fusion process went exceptionally smoothly.

Unlike the time with Kinu and Gyokuto, since the valkyries were artificial constructs rather than gods, and because they offered no resistance but actively cooperated, there was no possibility of a situation like with Kinu and Gyokuto, where the world changed color in the end.

The spells on the ten talismans turned into a series of runes, flying out from the dark seals and injecting into the white chains one by one, causing red runes to slowly appear on the surface of the white chains.

And those runes pulsed continuously, as if new life were about to be born there, like a heartbeat, rising and falling.

Under this situation, the white chains began to change color.

From the pure and flawless white, they turned into a sacred and dignified silver-white.

Rozen could feel that his Injunction Shackles gradually gained the breath of life and were firmly connected to him.

Both the fusion and the contract proceeded extremely smoothly.

"Very good."

Rozen suddenly smiled and then closed his eyes, concentrating on chanting incantations, forming hand seals, and casting them into the air.

This scene lasted for an unknown amount of time.

In Rozen's room, jutsuryoku, spiritual power, magic, and divine energy continued to fluctuate incessantly.

...

"Phew..."

After who knows how long, Rozen finally opened his eyes, exhaling a breath while smiling contentedly.

Above his head, silver-white chains moved as agilely as swimming dragons, even approaching Rozen's body like offspring, rubbing against him.

"It worked."

Rozen affirmed this.

After this fusion, the valkyries had completely merged with the Injunction Shackles and had also formed an absolute contract with Rozen.

Now, Rozen could turn the Injunction Shackles into beast vassals.

By then, this magical tool would be no different from a living weapon.

Feeling the joy emanating from the valkyries within the Injunction Shackles, Rozen felt satisfied as well.

"Please take care of me in the future."

Rozen murmured softly.

The chains swimming around Rozen suddenly trembled and responded firmly.

That night, Rozen's Injunction Shackles became his third weapon, following the coat and ring transformed by Kinu and Gyokuto.

In the future, they would surely have their place.
