-1199- Not a threat

The dazzling flashes of lightning and thunder appeared above the ocean at the northern end of Itogami Island.

It was as if countless thunderbolts were descending from the sky, some striking the rocky island where the prison barrier was located, causing a rumble, some hitting the surrounding sea, creating numerous huge water splashes, with electric arcs crawling incessantly on the water surface, and some directly striking Itogami Island, destroying the entire harbor area.

Explosions continuously resounded, making the whole world seem to tremble, terrifying beyond measure.

Under such apocalyptic scenes, how many people lamented, it was impossible to count.

Undoubtedly, the people on Itogami Island must have fallen into panic.

Without a doubt, everyone inside the prison barrier had no choice but to focus on protecting themselves with all their might, lest they be engulfed by the raging thunder and lightning.

In this situation, only Giada's joyful voice rang out.

"Such power...! Have you completely mastered the beast vassal of the Fourth Primogenitor...!? Divine Child...!"

Giada felt joy for this.

Upon closer inspection, in the sky, the lightning released by Giada's beast vassal had been overwhelmed and even annihilated by the thunderous lion, Rozen's beast vassal.

The thunderous lion roared excitedly, as if finally able to exert its full power after a long absence, unstoppable as it continued to rampage, transforming into thunderbolts and rushing forward, finally fiercely crashing onto the thunderclouds summoned by Giada, crushing them in a flash of lightning and thunder.

Both being Primogenitor-level beast vassals, Giada's beast vassal was effortlessly overwhelmed by Rozen's beast vassal.

It was only natural.

Including Giada, all three Primogenitors possessed double-digit numbers of beast vassals, which were not only powerful like natural disasters but also numerous.

Not to mention the First Primogenitor, who controlled the Warlord Dominion with seventy-two beast vassals, as powerful as natural disasters, he could actually command a whole seventy-two, terrifying to the point of suffocation.

Although Giada's beast vassals were not as numerous, she still had a total of twenty-seven, far surpassing the vampires below the Primogenitors.

On the other hand, the Fourth Primogenitor, while also commanding double-digit numbers of beast vassals, had only twelve, significantly fewer than the First and Third Primogenitors.

But the Fourth Primogenitor was still hailed as the strongest vampire in history, fundamentally because the power of these twelve beast vassals all surpassed those of the beast vassals of the other Primogenitors, unquestionably the strongest twelve among all beast vassals.

As a result, in a one-on-one situation, the Fourth Primogenitor's beast vassals had no reason to lose to other beast vassals unless they were restrained.

And now, Rozen had truly unleashed all the power of these beast vassals.

Just because...

(I have already formed an absolute contract with the twelve beast vassals of the Fourth Primogenitor.)

That's right.

All the beast vassals had formed absolute contracts with Rozen and had been summoned by him, living in his blood alongside Hokuto.

Now, Rozen could fully unleash the true power of these beast vassals, just as he had said before.

"This is also because of the 'gift' you gave me, so I will gratefully use it to defeat you!"

Rozen unhesitatingly summoned the second beast vassal.

"Come forth! The Second Beast Vassal————〈Cor Tauri Succinum〉!"

Molten lava surged from Rozen's front and turned into a bull-headed giant god wielding a burning battle axe.

"Roar!"

The bull-headed giant god also roared loudly like the thunderous lion, raising the burning battle axe high and ruthlessly chopping towards Giada's direction.

In an instant, the scorching hot lava turned this side of the world into a fiery volcano, becoming a blazing red.

The bull-headed giant god's strike was enough to crush any non-physical defense, mercilessly chopping down towards a small girl, causing the earth to tremble and crack.

"Come!"

Although Giada didn't know how Rozen managed to unleash the full power of the Fourth Primogenitor's beast vassals with such weak magic power, she was already swept away by the surging fighting spirit and joy in her heart.

The reason why no longer mattered.

The opponent had become stronger than she had imagined, and knowing that was enough.

Giada pursued only strong opponents, not the reasons why the enemy was so powerful.

So...

"I'll go all out too————〈Xiuhtectli〉!"

In the moment of crisis, Giada also summoned a new beast vassal.

The beast vassal she summoned was a huge, scorching hot torrent erupting like a volcano, also rushing from the ground in front of Giada, facing the scorching blow of the approaching bull-headed god.

"Boom!"

Like two volcanic craters facing each other, they simultaneously erupted lava, appearing in the sky with a heavy collision.

In the blink of an eye, the side of the world that was just full of lightning and thunder was now filled with endless lava, causing the lava to fall like meteorites.

So, the meteor shower of flames ravaged the earth.

"What... what kind of battle is this!?"

"No! This island is going to sink!"

On the rocky island, people cried out one after another, unable to distinguish whose voices they were, only knowing that everyone simultaneously chose to flee, desperately avoiding the center of the battle and heading towards Itogami Island.

Only the criminals within the prison barrier remained, lying on the ground, unable to tell if they were dead or critically wounded, facing this scene of destruction, destined not to escape.

This whole world seemed to be experiencing a true apocalypse, with lightning and volcanic eruptions everywhere.

The culprits causing this outcome no longer cared about anything and focused entirely on the battle.

"It's your turn to come out—〈Xolotl〉!"

Giada's magic swayed behind her, gradually turning into a giant figure.

It was a giant skeleton with empty eye sockets, a gaping mouth full of blood, and its entire body reduced to bones, with the hollows between the ribs filled with a black void that reflected no light.

The ribs of the skeleton giant opened like a door.

Inside, the full darkness erupted like cannonballs.

That attack could even destroy space itself.

However...

"This level of power is not a threat!"

Rozen raised his right hand.

"Come forth! The First Beast Vassal—〈Mesarthim Adamas〉!"

The undefeated divine lamb transformed into a diamond-constructed beast, accompanied by countless gemstone crystalline barriers, appearing in front of Rozen.

A single blow capable of piercing through space landed on the crystalline barrier, but was effortlessly reflected back without any suspense, blasting towards Giada's direction.

"Boom!"

Amidst the terrifying roar, the rocky island situated on the northern ocean of Itogami Island finally met its end, collapsing like crumbling apart, devoured by the chaotic dark streams that surged up.

The ocean surged violently, eventually unleashing a massive tsunami that swallowed the fragmented and shattered rocky island, causing it to disappear without a trace.
