-1130- Unable to save?

"——!——!"

Kanon Kanase, tightly entangled by chains, continued to struggle and scream. Her eyes, bloodshot and filled with lifeless instinctual struggle, refused to give up, causing the chains to tighten even more. The clashing sound of chains reverberated incessantly, never ceasing.

Watching Kanon like this, leaving aside the others, Dimitrie Vatler smiled indifferently.

"Aren't you going to deliver the final blow?"

Vatler spoke to Rozen with considerable delight.

Ever since witnessing Rozen command over a hundred beast vassals and even use fusion beast vassals, Vatler had been in this state, in great spirits, no longer caring that his rare prey had been taken away.

Presumably, this bellicose vampire noble no longer had any interest in the fallen angel defeated by Rozen, satisfied by Rozen's excellent performance?

Indeed, he was quite the battle fanatic, losing interest in defeated prey when better prey was in sight.

Rozen may or may not have noticed this, but simply spoke plainly.

"I don't want to kill her; instead, I want to save her."

Rozen straightforwardly declared his intentions.

Kanon Kanase was innocent to begin with; Rozen only decided to intervene upon seeing her shed tears of blood.

Now, Rozen had no intention of delivering the final blow to Kanon; instead, he wanted to free her from the state of being a faux angel.

"Although she has been transformed into a faux angel, this transformation is not aimed at her physical body but rather her magical nature."

The magic runes covering Kanon's body existed for this purpose, transforming her magical nature into a phenomenon called an angel. Otherwise, it would be impossible to sustain the six external sources of spiritual energy within her physically.

This led to a problem.

"As long as the angelic spells on her body are removed, Kanon Kanase should return to normal."

Rozen asserted confidently.

As an expert in magic, Rozen dared to be so sure.

Of course, the recovery would only return her to being a human, but the magic runes covering her body would still burden her physically, preventing Kanon from being completely unharmed, right?

But those issues could be solved through external treatment, so they weren't significant.

"In that case, let me remove the spells on Kanon's body."

On the side, Yukina Himeragi, who had been watching Rozen with concern but couldn't ignore Kanon's condition, approached, holding a silver spear in her hand.

"Oh?"

Seeing the silver spear in Yukina's hand, Vatler raised an eyebrow, expressing interest.

"Is that perhaps the Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven that Lion King Agency wouldn't retrieve from its secret vault?"

Vatler recognized the origin of the spear at a glance.

"Yes." Yukina nodded, calmly stating, "If it's Sekkaro, then it can directly sever the spells on Kanon's body, rendering them completely ineffective."

In this way, Kanon Kanase could be saved.

"I see. Lion King Agency went to such lengths to send such a surveillance agent to the Divine Child. That's thoughtful of them."

Vatler seemed even more pleased as if he had only just taken notice of Yukina now.

It's worth noting that there are only three Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Sevens like Sekkaro in the world, and not just anyone can use them. Without special spirit medium talents like Nagisa, it's impossible to even provide spiritual energy to the spear, let alone use it.

No matter how limited one's strength might be, as long as they can truly pierce the enemy's heart with the spear, even Vatler would have to accept defeat.

Learning this, Vatler not only didn't feel wary but felt happy instead.

This made Sayaka Kirasaka feel guarded.

"Please refrain from targeting Yukina, Duke Ardeal," Sayaka Kirasaka warned sternly, saying, "If you intend to harm Yukina, then as your overseer, I will need to eliminate you."

Sayaka Kirasaka spoke these words with utmost seriousness.

This was not just a warning but also Sayaka Kirasaka's declaration.

And for some reason, when she said this, Sayaka Kirasaka also glared at Rozen, as if also warning him not to "interfere" with Yukina.

However, even without mentioning Rozen, Dimitrie Vatler was somewhat unconvinced.

"Although that's not a bad idea, let's leave it for now. I don't want to lay hands on the woman of our beloved Divine Child; that would be too impolite."

Vatler said so.

Unfortunately...

"I...I am not senpai's woman...!"

"How could my Yukina become that guy's woman!? If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll really gut you!"

Yukina and Sayaka Kirasaka both shouted with flushed faces, one out of embarrassment, the other out of anger.

However, Vatler disregarded the reactions of the two girls, speaking with his hands spread out.

"Let's set that aside for now, but trying to save Kanon Kanase with that Mechanical Demon-Purging Assault Spear Mark Seven is impossible, you know."

Vatler said this.

"What?"

Yukina couldn't help but be stunned.

It was Sayaka Kirasaka, who had extensive knowledge of witchcraft and sorcery, who explained to Yukina with some regret.

"Even if the power of Sekkaro can neutralize the faux angelic spells on Kanon Kanase, your spear won't be able to reach her."

Don't forget, Kanon Kanase is now an existence in a higher dimension, and attacks from lower dimensions simply cannot reach her. Plus, Kanon Kanase can also release divine energy; unless she doesn't resist, the artificial divine energy on Sekkaro will be neutralized, rendering it ineffective against her.

Therefore, trying to save Kanon Kanase with Sekkaro is unrealistic.

"Then...then let senpai send my attacks to the higher dimension..."

Yukina looked at Rozen, wanting to make this proposal.

However, Rozen vetoed it.

"Don't forget, my Space Manipulation Magic is also magic and will be neutralized by your spear. Even if divine energy is infused into it, it will be canceled out by the divine energy on your spear. Ultimately, even if your spear manages to reach Kanon Kanase, it won't be able to nullify the spells, and instead, it will poke a hole in her."

Rozen ruthlessly exposed this fact.

In other words, without resolving the higher-dimensional membrane on Kanon Kanase, the spells on her body cannot be eliminated.

"How could this be..."

Yukina couldn't help but waver.

That being said...

"You don't seem helpless at all, our beloved Divine Child."

Vatler seemed to be anticipating something, smiling brightly.

Rozen glanced at this battle enthusiast but remained silent.

However, his magic began to burn.

The next moment...

"Come forth."

Rozen's voice echoed throughout the venue.

"The Eleventh Beast Vassal————Sadalmelik Albus."
