Hovering in the air, the hearts of Rias and the Sitri-Sona group weighed heavier than ever. Though they knew it was just a competition, watching their comrades being defeated one by one made them feel utterly powerless. The sense of helplessness pierced through these usually proud-hearted girls.
Is this the power of Tenraku? As allies, it provided a deep sense of reassurance, but now, as opponents, it brought about a profound feeling of despair to Rias and her girls!
“Rias, it’s impossible to defeat Kamiya Tenraku with conventional methods. I’m thinking of trying out my prohibited magic. Buy me some time.” Rossweisse spoke.
Clearly, any magic labeled as “prohibited” is extremely dangerous. Casual usage could lead to significant casualties, especially in a competition and not a real battle.
Noticing Rias’s hesitation, Sitri-Sona spoke up: “Rias, do you think a single prohibited magic can defeat or even kill that man?”
“Right now, instead of worrying about him, worry more about ourselves. If you don’t even have that resolve, what’s the point of making grandiose claims about defeating him?”
Rias was shaken, and she couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Indeed, if she didn’t have that resolve, how could she hope to defeat Tenraku, let alone prove herself to him?
“I understand.”
“Rossweisse, go prepare to unleash your magic. We will definitely buy you some time!”
Rias declared with renewed determination in her eyes.
“Yes!”
Without further ado, Rossweisse shot up into the sky. Meanwhile, Rias and the Sitri-Sona group flew towards Tenraku.
“Aren’t you giving up yet…”
With a slight smirk on his face, Tenraku within the Giant naturally noticed the subtle movements of Rias and her team. However, he didn’t pay them much mind.
Since Rias and her group still wanted to struggle, he’d indulge them in another round of play!
“Tenraku!” Rias unleashed thousands of magic arrays, densely surrounding the samurai Giant from all sides. Then, all the magical arrays erupted in simultaneous explosions.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!!!
Flames soared in the sky and engulfed the entire samurai Giant in a blazing inferno.
However—
The ancient and mystical Yata-no-Kagami – Eight Ta Mirror shone brightly, and the massive mirror transformed into a gray vortex, absorbing all the flames!
“Hooouuuuhooouu!!!”
Realizing that this move couldn’t defeat Tenraku, immediately after Rias’s attack, Sitri-Sona used water magic to conjure several giant beasts, each one roaring as they lunged at the samurai Giant.
Yet, the terrifying colossal monsters were cut down by the samurai Giant like chopping vegetables, one by one!
Additionally, Xenovia, Irina, Shinra Tsubaki, and Bennia swung their respective Holy Swords, long blades, and the Reaper’s Scythe, continuously striking with waves of energy blades against the Giant.
All their attacks proved futile!
While everyone kept Tenraku occupied, Rossweisse in the sky wasn’t idle either. She mobilized her internal magic power to deploy tens of thousands of magic arrays in the air. These arrays slowly rotated and connected, ultimately merging into an enormous super-array.
“Rias, get out of the way!”
Amplifying her voice with magic power, Rossweisse in the sky shouted to Rias and her girls.
Seeing that Rias and Sitri-Sona had already retreated, Rossweisse took control of the colossal magic array that covered half the sky and maneuvered it directly above the samurai Giant.
“So, this is Rossweisse’s prohibited magic. It does indeed look quite dangerous.”
Gazing up at the splendid and beautiful magic array in the sky, even Tenraku couldn’t help but sigh in admiration.
“Asia, things might get a bit dangerous from here on. You should leave this place.”
Giving Asia, who was standing beside him, a gentle pat, Tenraku advised her to step back.
“Mmm, Tenraku-san.”
Obediently, Asia transformed into a burst of light and was transported out of the dimensional space. Just as Asia departed, the magic array in the sky began to activate. Radiant light surged, and a beam of energy, imbued with a ruinous aura, shot down vertically.
Boom!!!!!!!!
The brilliance was blinding, and the colossal energy beam instantly engulfed the figure of the samurai Giant, continuously expanding and destroying everything in its path!
“Ahhhh!”
Shouts of horror echoed as Rias and the girls had already taken cover at a safe distance, but the incoming storm of energy still swept them away, sending them flying.
“Ahhh… Ahhhhh…”
“Are Valkyrie really such terrifying beings, Governor General Azazel?”
Outside the dimensional space, countless spectators stared wide-eyed, deeply shaken by the horrifying spectacle of the magical beam.
“Well, well, Rossweisse was once the guardian of Odin Sama, even among the Valkyries, she was at the top tier. Not everyone is as formidable as her.” Azazel chuckled as he spoke to comfort the startled host.
In truth, Azazel was also taken aback. Faced with such terrifying magic, even he would cough up blood if he were hit. These young people nowadays are all so formidable, putting immense pressure on senior figures like them.
Leaving aside the shocked audience outside, inside the dimensional space—
“Ha… Ha…”
Floating in the air, Rossweisse, pale-faced, panted heavily.
Using such a powerful prohibited magic took a toll on even her. At least in this competition, it was impossible for her to use it a second time.
However, as a return, the power of the magic attack was also incredibly formidable. A colossal pit nearly a kilometer in diameter appeared directly beneath the ground.
In the middle of the pit, the seemingly invincible figure of the samurai Giant appeared as if it had melted, in a sorry state. Even Tenraku, who had been hiding in the crystal on the Giant’s forehead, was now exposed.
“HaHaHaHa… HaHaHaHa…”
“Rossweisse, as expected of you, what a terrifying strike!”
“But—”
“It’s not enough!”
With hearty laughter, an immense surge of Spirit Power flowed out from within Tenraku. Under the incredulous gazes of Rossweisse, Rias, and the girls, the battered samurai Giant, almost melted, miraculously restored itself in just a few breaths!
“N-Not possible…”
Her beautiful eyes widened, and the snowy complexion of the Valkyrie turned even paler in an instant…
