////In the last few chapters, I found that pemtos was a wrong translation. Yesterday, I was kinda busy and rushed the wiki search and now when I dig deeper I found that they are actually called "Nosferata". I went back and fixed the last few chapters, but I might miss some.////
The seed syllable mantra of the Great Wisdom King, used by Rozen, and the seed syllable mantra of Acala King, favored by Kagami Reiji, both possess a powerful repelling effect.
The difference lies in that the latter is used to repel enemies, while the former is employed to repel curses.
Similar to dealing with the Beast Vassals formed from condensed magical power, using stronger magic is necessary to repel them. These seed syllable mantras rely on their formidable jutsuryoku to overwhelm the enemy's jutsuryoku, dispelling their curses.
Once, in the Demon Sanctuary in Gozo, Rozen used this method to disperse the flame breath of Golan, who had transformed into a Divine Beast.
Now, facing the onslaught of magical bullets, Rozen once again employed this mantra.
"Boom!"
A shockwave of jutsuryoku erupted from Rozen, completely dispersing the incoming magical bullets, leaving none behind.
Seeing this, the Nosferata exhibited a brief moment of hesitation, but quickly adjusted.
"Time, 20:28:42 — Confirming long-range attacks ineffective, transitioning to close combat."
The leading Nosferata declared, prompting the others to holster their guns and raise blades infused with magical power.
The next moment, the Nosferata charged one by one.
"Bang!"
One Nosferata raised a blade, letting magical flames burn on the blade, turning into a rolling inferno and slashing towards Rozen.
The high temperature made this seemingly small blade's cutting force strong enough to sever steel. The principle was the same as the magic circuit used by Loki's automaton in the Automaton world, but combined with an attack formed by magical power. It was likely that even a Beast Vassal could be cleaved with a single strike.
Unfortunately...
"Ding!"
In a crisp sound, an invisible shield adorned with magic circles and runes blocked the attack.
"Dong!"
Following that, space violently fluctuated, creating mutual vibrations, generating a shockwave that struck the Nosferata, sending them flying.
At the same time, three other Nosferata raised their hands transformed into blades, flames spouting from the blades as they slashed towards Rozen.
"Ding!" "Ding!" "Ding!"
Three invisible thought force shields spun out suddenly, similar to before, blocking the scorching strikes strong enough to sever steel. They absorbed the impact and explosion right after, followed by a tilt, causing the blades of the three Nosferata to slide off. This forced the three Nosferata to lose balance and fall forward.
There, space was undulating.
"Dong!"
A powerful shockwave emerged once again, ruthlessly sending the Nosferata flying, shattering their magical devices and tearing their flesh once more, splattering a large amount of blood.
Rozen stood there, motionless, watching the Nosferata charging at him one after another. Using "Magic Defence" for defense, he decisively acted during the short stagnation period after the attacks, causing space to vibrate, generating shockwaves to send the enemies flying.
That was all Rozen did. The four Nosferata were effortlessly defeated.
"20:29:02 — Enemy threat level rising, judged as A-rank. To complete the mission, permission granted to use maximum magical power and magical devices."
The leading Nosferata stated with a cold tone, and together with the remaining four Nosferata, they tore open their cloaks, revealing their chests where the flesh burst open.
Inside, a red gem was shimmering, emitting a dazzling light.
A vast amount of magical power instantly gathered on each gem.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
In the next moment, four scorching torrents of magical power erupted from the gems, transforming into formidable barrages covering Rozen.
The power of this attack was comparable to that of a Beast Vassal of a vampire.
At this moment, the Nosferata unleashed their entire magical power, using the strongest magical devices to deliver this astonishing blow.
This strike would undoubtedly turn Rozen and the apartment behind him into ashes.
Of course, "if" it were to hit...
"Hum!"
The space in front of Rozen suddenly fluctuated, creating a large ripple, like the surface of water, engulfing the incoming four streams of magical torrents.
After a short while, a roar echoed from the sea, seemingly far away.
Evidently, Rozen, using space manipulation magic, directly transferred the Nosferata's supposedly ultimate attack onto the sea, rendering them useless splashes.
This was spatial control even beyond what Natsuki couldn't achieve because the transfer wasn't of actual entities but purely magical power. Only Rozen, with the power of "Mind's Eye" capable of observing even atoms and molecules, could accomplish this feat.
"Let me give you something in return."
Rozen didn't give the Nosferata time to react. He extended his hand and snapped his fingers.
Instantly, white chains emerged from the rippling space, whipping like tendrils, creating a gentle breeze.
The incredibly flexible movement of these chains was something Natsuki couldn't achieve. Rozen manipulated them with the power of "Telekinesis," making them come to life, dancing vividly.
"Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!" "Thud!"
Soon, the chains transformed one by one into heavy whips, traversing space and viciously lashing each Nosferata in the chest.
"Bang!"
The gems inside the chests of the four Nosferata were immediately shattered.
"Pfft!"
Blood gushed wildly from the mouths of the four Nosferata, and they were all ruthlessly sent flying by the heavy chains.
Some collided with walls, others crashed into shops, some fell into water pools, and a few flew into the sky, ultimately all descending to the ground, creating pools of blood. They lost consciousness and were no longer able to fight.
Watching all this, not to mention Kojou and Nagisa, even Veldiana trembled.
The nonchalant young man before them had not moved a single step from start to finish, yet he effortlessly dealt with all eight Nosferata.
Although they were low-tier vampires unable to use Beast Vassals, with their innate magical power, vitality, and regenerative abilities, fighting with formidable magical devices, even legitimate vampires might not necessarily defeat them. If eight such opponents joined forces, even Liana, a pure-blood vampire from the old generation, might struggle.
Yet Rozen unilaterally crushed these enemies, leaving Veldiana trembling.
"He is the younger brother of that witch..."
Terrifying sister.
Terrifying brother.
Both siblings are natural enemies of vampires.
"So... strong..."
Even Kojou couldn't help but murmur.
As for Nagisa, the admiration and yearning in her eyes towards Rozen were the only things left.
Both of them knew Rozen was a mage, even a jujutsu practitioner, but they never expected him to be this powerful.
Previously, when Rozen could deal with Veldiana's Beast Vassals, the siblings were already surprised. Now, witnessing Rozen's might once again, there was nothing left but awe.
Then...
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"
Applause rang out.
"Indeed, the younger brother of the Witch of the Void, quite impressive."
Such voices reached everyone's ears.
