-729- Giant massacre

The entire scene fell into a sudden silence.

All the spectators, whether in the audience or those hidden in the shadows, looked at the scene of Yaya swiftly annihilating four MK4-type Maschinensoldaten in her hands, displaying expressions and gazes filled with awe, completely losing all reaction.

Not only the audience, even those observing from the shadows couldn't maintain their composure.

Magnus, with his eyes flickering, remained silent.

"That person..." Kimberly, who had been leaning against a tree trunk nonchalantly, now stood upright.

"So amazing, Rozen-sama!" Hinowa exclaimed with excitement.

As for Subaru and Mutsura, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, both seemingly in a trance.

These four Maschinensoldaten, surpassing the capabilities of ordinary Banned Dolls, possessing 100% autonomy, excellent magical power equivalent to skilled puppeteers, and even equipped with an excellent magical circuit like "Fragarach," were incapable of surviving more than a few rounds in the hands of Yaya and were quickly eradicated.

"How is this possible?" Rosenberg muttered, his voice filled with disbelief, and sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Impossible..." Even Schneider stood in shock, completely unresponsive.

"This person is kinda terrifying, isn't he?"

"Very terrifying...."

The Weizsäcker sisters said, hugging each other in fear.

Even Alice, who always wore a cheerful smile, had her eyes slightly widened, her joyful expression vanishing without a trace.

Shin's expression appeared heavy and grave. After all, in terms of performance and completion, those four Maschinensoldaten were no different from him; they were all MK4-type.

Now, right before his eyes, machines of the same series as him, the same model, were destroyed like fragile puppets. This made Shin stare intensely at the ashes scattered on the ground, his expression terrifying.

"Tap"

Yaya descended from the air, stood firmly on the battlefield, and her magical power continued to flow without stopping, even after such carnage and being bathed in blood. Her kimono remained immaculate, not a single drop of blood staining it. It was as though she was an invulnerable artifact that couldn't get dirty.

Rozen slowly approached, arriving behind Yaya.

"Now, it's just you guys left." Rozen raised his gaze and cast it upon Rosenberg, Schneider, and the Weizsäcker sisters.

"Eek!" The Weizsäcker sisters let out frightened cries.

"Ugh!" Schneider's face had also turned pale.

Only Rosenberg, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, spoke in a hoarse voice.

"Do you think that taking out a few MK4-type Maschinensoldaten will threaten our MK5-types?"

This should be Rosenberg's only hope, right?

However...

"Why not?" Rozen responded with a smirk. "Compared to the completed form of MK4, your MK5 models are just specialized versions, excelling in their respective fields, aren't they?"

As soon as these words left Rozen's mouth, Rosenberg's heart stopped beating.

Yes.

Compared to the MK4 models, these so-called MK5 models were merely specialized, emphasizing their strengths in different areas. For example, by specializing in stopping molecular motion, they could provide the body with exceptional stability, resulting in defense far surpassing that of the MK4. Or, by specializing in enhancing molecular motion, they could grant the body terrifying bursts of power, leading to attack and mobility far beyond the MK4.

Rosenberg's Maschinensoldat, equipped with the tower shield, was the former, boasting astonishing defense.

On the other hand, Schneider's Maschinensoldat, armed with a large sword, represented the latter, with formidable attack and speed.

As for the Weizsäcker sisters, their Maschinensoldat likely manipulated the molecular motion of objects outside themselves through resonance. This allowed them to redirect and even counter their opponent's attacks. That's why Yaya was sent flying like that.

In comparison to the MK4, which was relatively balanced in various aspects, these MK5 models significantly excelled in their respective fields, thus being specialized types.

However, this also means that...

"Specializing in defense sacrifices offense."

"Specializing in offense sacrifices defense."

"Even though they excel in their respective fields, they become vulnerable in areas that aren't their forte."

Rozen's Mind's Eye easily observed the MK5 Maschinensoldaten's flaws in molecular control and revealed a cold smile.

"So-called MK5 models are just that."

With this group of knights, along with the previous MK4 models, working together, they might truly pose a threat even to Magnus.

But Rozen was different.

Perhaps, if he only used Yaya, Rozen could only match three or four of Magnus's dolls using Crimson Wing Formation, but couldn't defeat all six. However, that was only the case if Rozen hadn't figured out a strategy against that team.

If Rozen identified the weaknesses and vulnerabilities of the six dolls in the formation, then, with his intellect, defeating them wouldn't be surprising.

Faced with the legion of dolls, each with their own unique characteristics, Rozen's Mind's Eye exposed their weak points and flaws.

Too many people?

"Just a few more sacrifices, a few more struggles on the brink of death."

With these words, Rozen placed his hand on Yaya's back, channeling a large amount of magic into her.

Yaya's entire body once again erupted with terrifying magic and power, launching like a cannonball from Rozen's hand, shattering the ground, blowing away the atmosphere, and creating a shockwave.

"Counterattack!"

Rosenberg's voice finally changed, filled with panic and astonishment, as he yelled to everyone around him.

"Quick, get up there!"

"Intercept her!"

The Weizsäcker sisters screamed one after the other, causing two dolls wielding long spears to leap into action. They aimed to bounce back Yaya's attack once more using their magic.

Unfortunately...

"Boom!"

A surge of psychic force suddenly exploded between the two dolls, sending them flying.

This psychic force naturally came from Rozen.

Rozen had released pure psychic force, blasting the two dolls away.

"Hahhh!"

Yaya dashed to the two Maschinensoldaten at the same time, unleashing a meteor-like kick that struck the two defenseless dolls.

"Boom!"

With an explosion that echoed in perfect harmony, the two Maschinensoldaten were kicked and burst on the spot.

"Just dieee!!!"

Schneider screamed hysterically, causing his automaton's molecular motion to accelerate to the limit. With a howling gust of wind, it charged toward Yaya, wielding a massive broadsword.

"Clang!"

Yaya flicked her sleeve, deflecting the incoming strike.

"Thud!"

When Yaya's heavy palm strike landed on the automaton, which specialized in offense at the expense of defense, it had no resistance whatsoever. It was sent flying and exploded, blocking the path for all its companions.

Thus, the three MK5 Maschinensoldaten were destroyed.

"Ahh! Ahhhhh!"

Witnessing the utter destruction of his legion, Rosenberg finally broke down.

If he had kept his cool and used his automata to withstand Yaya's attacks, with their defense, Yaya wouldn't have been able to defeat them with a single strike.

But Rosenberg had already wavered internally. How could he remain calm?

In the end, Rosenberg's demeanor of a king was just a façade.

"Want to become superior?" Rozen's mocking voice echoed.

"You still have a long way to go."

After speaking, Yaya swiftly approached the one remaining automaton wielding a tower shield and delivered a decisive kick before it could use its specialized "Fragarach" defense.
