Chapter 911: -899- By the power of the command spell
"Boom..."
The astonishing magical energy transformed into an ominous aura, continuously emanating from Cú Chulainn's body. Despite being covered in wounds, the Berserker's condition showed no signs of decline; instead, it kept rising.
"He's getting stronger...!?" Mash exclaimed, her expression changing.
At this moment, Cú Chulainn lunged forward once again.
"...!"
Rozen and Mash immediately reacted, with Rozen stepping back and creating distance from Cú Chulainn. Simultaneously, Mash raised her shield, intercepting Cú Chulainn's attack.
"Clang!"
The heavy claw strike once again landed heavily on Mash's shield, causing shockwaves, erupting power, and bursting air pressure, all stronger than before.
"Ugh...!"
Mash grunted, and this time, she couldn't stabilize her footing, stepping backward.
However, Cú Chulainn showed no mercy, relentlessly striking with his claws, creating flashes of light with each hit.
"Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!" "Clang!"
With each of Cú Chulainn's strikes, a terrifying force produced shockwaves, raising dust storms, summoning whirlwinds, making it impossible for Mash, who was enduring this onslaught, to stand firm.
Naturally, Rozen had applied the Magic Defense and Rigid Body using his psychic power on Mash's shield.
Even with his Spirit Vision, Rozen anticipated each trajectory of Cú Chulainn's strikes, enabling Mash to block at the most force-dispersing angles. However, despite all this, Cú Chulainn managed to push Mash back continuously.
For this reason, Rozen repeatedly used various spells and incantations against Cú Chulainn.
For instance, Rozen drew runic symbols of flame, converting them into blocks of fiery runes that bombarded Cú Chulainn.
However, Cú Chulainn, unfazed, took the attacks directly, remaining relentless even when charred.
Rozen also attempted to repel Cú Chulainn using powerful magic, but the Berserker not only refused to retreat but charged into the magical force, maintaining control over Mash and forcing her to endure the magical impact.
Lastly, Rozen frequently converted magical energy into psychic force, either forming it into psychic projectiles that bombarded Cú Chulainn or imbuing it as Magic Resilience onto Mash's shield, causing it to cut through Cú Chulainn's flesh. However, Cú Chulainn ignored all of these attacks, continuously assaulting Mash.
If Mash didn't possess the skill "Shield of Rousing Resolution," which attracted Cú Chulainn's attacks, this Berserker would have likely directed all his assaults towards Rozen, displaying a maniacal fervor to kill Rozen alone.
Unfortunately, in this situation, Cú Chulainn continued accumulating damage but displayed a strength inversely proportional to his injuries.
"How is this possible?" Rozen was genuinely moved.
Although Rozen didn't expect to defeat Cú Chulainn in one go due to his highest-ranked skill, "Battle Continuation," he never anticipated that Cú Chulainn, instead of being hindered by his injuries, would become stronger with each battle.
"Is this the power of the Holy Grail? Or is it his own strength?" Rozen's expression became extremely uncertain.
Compared to Cú Chulainn, who grew stronger and more formidable with each battle, Rozen's consumption of energy increased. Even though he gradually replenished magical energy from his Shikigami, his state could not be considered good as the battle progressed.
With Gyokuto absent, it inevitably had a considerable impact on Rozen.
If Gyokuto were here, it could help Rozen reduce consumption and rapidly restore magical energy, preventing Rozen's magical power from depleting so much, avoiding the need for multiple activations of the Crimson Wing Formation for replenishment.
With Gyokuto present, it could enhance Rozen's Mind's Eye ability, allowing him to better cope with various situations.
Having Gyokuto around would also provide a warning to Rozen in critical moments, preventing him from encountering too much danger.
Moreover, Gyokuto could stabilize Rozen's mental state, alleviating fatigue and preventing Rozen's spirits from becoming excessively low as the battle progressed.
Thinking about this, Rozen realized just how much he relied on Gyokuto and Kinu.
If it weren't for Kinu and Gyokuto, perhaps Rozen would have fallen long ago?
People always say that being blessed by gods ensures safety.
Before, Rozen didn't believe such claims, but now he does.
Of course, Rozen has no regrets lending Gyokuto to Rama.
Because, in Rozen's eyes, it was worth doing so.
However, gaining understanding from the enemy would not be so easy.
"Come, bring it on," Cú Chulainn declared coldly.
"Let's continue to fight until one side completely falls."
Making this declaration, Cú Chulainn kept relentlessly attacking Mash without a moment's pause.
"Ugh...!"
Finally, even Mash, with her astonishing defense, involuntarily uttered a sound that indicated unbearable strain under Cú Chulainn's relentless assault.
If this continued...
"If this continues, we will undoubtedly lose this battle."
This is mythology.
This is war.
"We can't continue like this."
Rozen made up his mind.
"—By the power of the command spell—"
Finally, Rozen raised his gloved right hand and used his second trump card.
"—Mash Kyrielight, defeat Cú Chulainn—"
Rozen unleashed the power of the spell.
"Clang—!"
The back of Rozen's right hand, where three interlocked rings formed the spell, emitted a radiant light.
Immediately after, one of the engraved spells transformed into pure magical energy and infused into Mash's body.
"Boom—!"
Magical power surged within Mash.
"Ha!!"
Mash, who had been enduring Cú Chulainn's fierce attacks, suddenly lifted her gaze and let out a powerful roar.
"Pound—!"
Amidst an explosive sound, Mash steadied her stance.
"Woosh—!"
Her passively defensive shield surged forward, carrying a roaring gust of wind as it charged ahead.
"Bang—!"
In the dull impact, just as Cú Chulainn's twin claws were about to rise, Mash's shield, like a tiny dagger, thrust into his chest and heavily struck him.
"Boom—!"
Under the resounding crash, the heavily wounded Cú Chulainn was sent flying.
Mash, on the offensive, Rozen gave his orders.
"Go, Mash!"
In response to Rozen's command, Mash had only one reply.
"Yes, Master!"
With those words, Mash charged forward.
