-529- Shut up! Get lost!

At this point, even the arrogant Kagami Reiji could understand.

He realized that the seemingly insignificant individual before him was definitely not ordinary.

"Being able to consecutively use spells to counteract my power, that's not something a mere Onmyo Academy kid can do."

As Kagami Reiji watched his Acala Minor Mantra being effortlessly dispelled by Rozen's "Fire Evasion Charm," a brazen smile appeared on his face, but his tone became calm.

"Speaking of which, that brat Dairenji Suzuka was supposedly dealt with by a remarkable figure from the Onmyou Academy, right?"

Kagami Reiji suddenly mentioned information unknown to outsiders, his gaze scrutinizing Rozen.

"You, could you be the so-called Reincarnation of Yakou, acting all high and mighty?"

Kagami Reiji, contrasting his earlier violent and impulsive demeanor, became clear and focused in his thoughts. Though the veins representing anger still popped on his forehead, his gaze at Rozen carried sharpness capable of piercing into one's heart.

Seeing this, Rozen squinted his eyes slightly.

(Is it ultimately about the Twelve Divine Generals?)

Although Kagami Reiji's personality wasn't praiseworthy, it was evident that this fellow wasn't just a brute reliant on violence. He possessed inner calmness and objectivity, displaying intelligence.

However...

"I'm not entirely sure if I'm the so-called Reincarnation of Yakou who's acting all high and mighty."

Rozen resisted the waves of jutsuryoku coming from Kagami Reiji.

"But, in this place, I certainly see a so-called Twelve Divine General who's acting all high and mighty."

The sharp words were unapologetically spoken from Rozen's mouth.

Yet, this time, Kagami Reiji didn't get angry. Instead, he became delighted.

"Good! Very good!"

Kagami Reiji, once again defying his previous disdainful attitude, raised his brows and laughed.

"Originally thought dealing with just Nue would be too boring, but unexpectedly, I encounter something this interesting here. Excellent!"

Having said this, Kagami Reiji's laughter suddenly came to a halt.

"No matter if you're the Reincarnation of Yakou or not, don't expect an easy time!"

Kagami Reiji snarled with a sneer.

"Let me shatter that arrogant face of yours! Brat!"

The waves of jutsuryoku erupted from Kagami Reiji.

So...

"Come and give it a try! Fool!"

Rozen similarly taunted, and an astonishing surge of jutsuryoku erupted from him, rising like a wave, reaching a level that could rival Kagami Reiji in no time.

Both of them were surging with astounding waves of jutsuryoku, colliding in the air.

"Ugh...!"

Natsume couldn't help but step back from the shockwaves.

"What incredible jutsuryoku...!"

Both the students and the instructors were equally astounded, retreating.

"Amazing..."

Only Kyouko held her ground without stepping back, her eyes fixed on Rozen, as if realizing Rozen's true strength only today.

In fact, was it not true?

Before this, Rozen had never truly displayed his power in front of others.

But this time, facing Kagami Reiji, Rozen intended to unleash all his firepower.

His opponent was an Onmyouji at the level of the Twelve Divine Generals, and a different type from Dairenji Suzuka, being incredibly valiant and skilled in combat. Rozen hadn't grown arrogant enough to defeat the opponent while holding back.

So, this time, Rozen didn't intend to hold back.

With this in mind, Rozen's hands flashed with talisman.

There were a total of ten talisman.

And yet, they were not ordinary talisman.

On closer inspection, each of those black talisman not only had a dark hue but also depicted incredibly complex and intricate rituals on them, presenting bright red patterns.

"That is...!"

Seeing this scene, the others might not know what it represented, but as Rozen's shikigami, Natsume was very clear about what those ten talisman were.

Rozen poured all the jutsuryoku he had released into those ten black talisman in his hands.

"Clang..."

Each of the black talisman suddenly emitted a faint glow, allowing astonishing spirit energy to flow out from them.

That was not something an ordinary talisman could possess.

It was easy to imagine that the talisman Rozen was about to summon were anything but ordinary.

"Ha!"

Kagami Reiji couldn't help but laugh.

In his eyes and on his face, there was a wild joy, like a predatory beast spotting its prey.

Just as the two were about to erupt into their fiercest clash...

"Boom!"

In the heavy footsteps, a gigantic black figure surged like a furious storm, leaping from the direction of the office building towards Rozen and Kagami Reiji, who were confronting each other.

It was Nue.

As Rozen and Kagami Reiji faced off, the ignored Nue couldn't contain its rage any longer, jumping towards the two with a fury akin to a raging fire.

"Ooooooooooooooooooo————!"

An astonishing roar erupted from its mouth, turning into a tsunami of miasma, and Nue leaped over the two and descended heavily.

"Be careful!"

Natsume, Kyouko, and the others were all astonished.

However, the two, considered targets, simultaneously roared.

""Shut up! Get lost!""

The overlapping roars turned into a massive surge of jutsuryoku, fiercely charging at Nue descending from the sky, hitting it hard.

"Bang————!"

In a resounding impact, Nue's huge body was sent flying directly by the jutsuryoku of Rozen and Kagami Reiji, crashing into the office building once again.

However, this time, Nue didn't crash into the first floor of the building but was bounced to the top floor, crashing inside.

Fragments of glass and walls instantly sprinkled down from the office building, falling towards Rozen and Kagami Reiji, but they were blown away by the jutsuryoku generated by the two and couldn't touch them.

"————!"

The astonishing scene made Natsume, Kyouko, and the others gasp.

To think that they could send the Phase 3 Orge flying with just the release of jutsuryoku?

It was simply unbelievable.

The Spiritual Disaster, which should have been a huge threat, had become a mere nuisance in the eyes of Rozen and Kagami Reiji, kicked away by the two.

However, neither Rozen nor Kagami Reiji paid any attention to this. They only had eyes for each other.

""————————""

The two chanted the incantation of the Fire Realm in unison, turning their powerful jutsuryoku into flames, creating a clash like a battle between dragons and tigers, colliding with each other.

"Boom————!"

In an earsplitting explosion that made the air tremble, the waves of fire clashed directly.

The small square was dyed red.

The air was completely evaporated.

Rozen and Kagami Reiji were enveloped in flames, singing the incantation, causing the flames to surge like a snake, colliding incessantly.

The surroundings of the two turned into a raging sea of fire, covering the area within ten meters, turning it into a battlefield.
