-1188- Companions fused with the soul

"..."

With the disappearance of No. 6, silence returned to the surroundings.

"..."

Upon learning the true intentions of No. 6, Avrora couldn't stop crying, letting tears flow endlessly.

Rozen gently squeezed the hand held by No. 6, then placed that hand on Avrora's head, softly stroking it.

"Don't cry," Rozen said to Avrora, "She isn't really dead, you should be able to understand that."

Upon hearing this, Avrora lifted her eyes to look at Rozen.

Yes.

No. 6 wasn't really dead.

Like the former matrices, she became a part of Rozen's beast vassals, entering Rozen's body, existing in Rozen's blood.

So...

"That person is inside my body, with me, accompanying you."

Rozen smiled slightly at Avrora, making her cry even more intensely, nodding continuously. In the end, she even threw herself into Rozen's embrace.

Rozen embraced Avrora, and indeed felt the presence of an additional beast vassal in his blood.

That was No. 6, the Minelauva Iris, a beast vassal capable of severing the authority of severance, able to sever any physical form and its causal laws.

The power of this beast vassal ranked among the top of the twelve beast vassals of the Fourth Primogenitor.

To gain her power was a great help to Rozen.

No, the allegiance of No. 6 brought not only assistance in terms of power, but also acted as a catalyst.

Rozen could feel the slight tremor of Miracle, worn on his right hand.

What does this mean?

It means that No. 6 indeed entrusted her complete loyalty to Rozen.

As matrices were both carriers and the beast vassals themselves, No. 6's allegiance meant the complete allegiance of the No. 6 beast vassal, allowing Rozen not only to obtain the power of this beast vassal but also to form an absolute covenant with her, making her exclusively his, immortal, and unconditionally loyal familiar.

Moreover, whether it was due to the influence of No. 6 or not, all the beast vassals in Rozen's blood also submitted, offering all their loyalty to Rozen.

Previously, the beast vassals of the Fourth Primogenitor merely acknowledged Rozen without expressing submission and loyalty, until now, when they all unhesitatingly chose to submit and be loyal, allowing them to form absolute contracts with Rozen, becoming Rozen's familiars like No. 6's beast vassal.

(It seems that they, like No. 6 said, all regard Avrora as their only hope.)

So, with No. 6 entrusted as a proxy, when Rozen sincerely accepted the wish to protect Avrora, the beast vassals all chose to offer one hundred percent of their loyalty unanimously.

Because Rozen's protection of Avrora was their protection of Avrora.

To become Rozen's power, to fight for Rozen, was no different from fighting for Avrora.

Thanks to this, all ten proud beast vassals of the highest level could form absolute covenants with Rozen.

The impact of this was tremendous.

It should be noted that Rozen could not fully unleash the power of these beast vassals because his usual magic power was insufficient to support the summoning of the beast vassals in their complete state.

But once the beast vassals formed absolute covenants with Rozen, becoming Rozen's familiars, they would become pure records, engraved in Rozen's soul. As long as Rozen could successfully summon them, they would be able to unleash their full power because the strength of their power had become a record. They would be as strong as they were when recorded, and as strong as they were when summoned.

If they couldn't unleash their full power when summoned, it was only because Rozen's magic power was insufficient to support them to use their full power, just like before with Kinu, Gyokuto, and Altera.

But this situation was gone forever.

After all, the issue of supplying magic could be completely handed over to the seal inside the body, completely solving this problem.

In summary, as long as Rozen formed absolute covenants with these beast vassals, summoned them, and nurtured them in his blood in their beast form, from now on, Rozen could hand over the issue of supplying magic to the seal inside his body. If he wanted them to appear and fight, he only needed to call them out from his blood, without the need for a second summoning.

From now on, even without using the secret technique of the Crimson Wing Formation, without releasing the seal, these beast vassals could unleash their full power. They would exhibit the power of the strongest beast vassals of the Fourth Primogenitor.

Now, even under normal circumstances, Rozen was equal to the Fourth Primogenitor who possessed ten beast vassals. Even if his magic power was not as good as the Fourth Primogenitor's, in the absence of the issue of supplying magic, his combat power was no different from the Fourth Primogenitor's.

Even Rozen can use his own magic power to amplify the power of his beast vassals and even use various magic and spells to assist them, giving him an even greater advantage compared to the Fourth Primogenitor, the strongest vampire in history.

Of course, the premise of the Fourth Primogenitor being called the strongest vampire in history is that they can use all twelve of their beast vassals, while Rozen can only use ten beast vassals.

However, Rozen doesn't just have these ten beast vassals, nor is he limited to their power alone.

Being able to form absolute contracts with ten beast vassals allows Rozen's strength to undergo another transformation.

From now on...

"Your sisters are companions fused with my soul, and they will always be here, with me, watching you live."

Rozen whispered softly to Avrora in his arms.

"Don't let us down, okay?"

With a single sentence, Avrora could barely speak through her tears, yet she continued to nod.

At the same time...

"It's over! Yuma!"

Inside the cathedral, accompanied by a roar, Kojou's fist, filled with divine energy, slammed heavily into the side of Tokoyogi Yumma's face.

"Ugh...!"

Tokoyogi Yuuma groaned as she was sent flying by Kojou, crashing into a pile of rubble and stones, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Upon closer inspection, Kojou maintained his punching stance, his clothes torn and tattered, panting heavily, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.

However, in the end, Kojou defeated Tokoyogi Yuuma.

Tokoyogi Yuuma's guardian floated beside her, its azure armor crumbling.

Facing the divine aura, Tokoyogi Yuuma's magic was completely ineffective against Kojou, and even her guardian was beaten by Kojou's fists, as it was merely a manifestation of magic.

And Tokoyogi Yuuma's attempts to evade through spatial manipulation magic were all seen through by Kojou.

After all...

"On the basketball court, I remember every expression and move you made when trying to dodge my attacks countless times, I even know which direction you'll dodge in."

Kojou used this advantage, along with his divine aura, to defeat Tokoyogi Yuuma.

"I didn't expect... to be stopped by you..."

Struggling to rise, Tokoyogi Yuuma's face was filled with genuine disbelief and anguish.

At this moment, Rozen and the tearful Avrora approached.

"It's over." Rozen said coldly to Tokoyogi Yuuma, "This time, you lost."

Then, Altera, holding the sleeping Natsuki, also stepped forward silently, her ruby-like eyes staring directly at Tokoyogi Yuuma, the pressure and terror emanating from her gaze even surpassing Rozen's.

This made Tokoyogi Yuuma's expression even more uncertain.

Finally, she slumped on the ground, defeated, never to rise again.
