Chapter 1136: -1122- The true attacker
"Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!" "Bam!"
Accompanied by bursts of small explosions, the wreckage of the mechanical puppet, cut into iron blocks by countless lava silk threads, began to short circuit and explode, turning into pure scrap metal.
"Attacking with this level of strength?"
Tobias recalled his beast vassal while contemptuously laughing amidst the spreading magical flames.
"At least the guests won't be threatened anymore."
Kira remained gentle as ever, but his attacks were merciless, as his beast vassal continuously spewed lava silk, cutting the mechanical puppets into pieces.
Both of them were aristocrats in the Warlord Dominion, old-generation pure-blood vampires, whose strength rivaled that of the third-generation elders. They were among the foremost among all the blood races, dealing with a group of mechanical puppets that could only fight with special bullets against demons, which made it easy for them to capture.
However, as Rozen had said, the real show was about to begin.
"Turn him into skewers ———— <Crimson Snake>."
The moment such a voice sounded...
"Swish————!"
The sharp sound of breaking the air echoed.
A red flash, like deadly lightning, tore through the air, rushing at an astonishing speed from behind Tobias, straight towards his back.
"Danger!"
Only Yukina, who could see several seconds into the future, noticed this phenomenon, causing her pupils to shrink as she shouted.
But at this point, it was already too late to warn.
"Splurt!"
With the sound of flesh tearing, crimson blood splattered.
"Guh...!"
Tobias let out a groan of anguish.
But he wasn't pierced through the heart.
In the nick of time, Tobias suddenly turned around, extending his hand to meet the red flash.
As a result, the red flash pierced Tobias's arm, piercing and shattering his entire arm, causing Tobias to lose a hand directly, his body splattered with blood, and he was forced to retreat violently.
And upon closer inspection, the true form of the red flash was actually a deep red long spear.
A long spear that extended like a whip from the ceiling.
After shattering Tobias's arm, the deep red long spear retracted from the ceiling like a snake, disappearing quickly.
"Tobias!"
Beside him, Kira watched Tobias retreat with blood spraying from his severed arm, shouting in horror.
But...
"Behind!"
Yukina, who had been using Spirit Vision all along, quickly exclaimed.
"...!"
This time, Kira reacted promptly, swiftly turning around and raising his arm to shield himself.
The judgment was correct.
"Ooohhh!"
Suddenly, a tall, dark figure appeared in the venue, seemingly blending in, and charged straight at Kira, delivering a heavy punch.
The punch broke through the air, causing a howling whirlwind.
The one who struck was a man wearing motorcycle gear and a jacket, covered in dark fur and with the head of a beast.
He was a Beast Man.
"Boom!"
The heavy impact resounded suddenly.
The black Beast Man's frontal punch sent the petite Kira flying, twisting his arm bone unnaturally as he rolled and coughed up blood upon hitting the ground.
The two old-generation vampire nobles who were ambushed began to spit blood and collapse, causing their summoned beast vassals to dissipate.
"Tsk!"
Seeing this scene, Kirasaka Sayaka clicked her tongue, lifting her silver greatsword, ready to rush out.
"Don't be impulsive, Sayaka!"
Yukina stopped Sayaka's impulse.
Meanwhile, Rozen, Vatler, and La Folia, the trio, turned their gaze back to the ceiling, their faces cold and stern.
"Hahaha!"
The black Beast Man who sent Kira flying laughed triumphantly, leaping with astonishing agility, vaulting onto the shattered ceiling, standing atop it.
From there, it could be seen that several people had unknowingly stood on the night sky ceiling.
"What a letdown, nobles of the Warlord Dominion."
The one who spoke these words was a tall and voluptuous woman, akin to a model, dressed in a tight crimson bodysuit, gripping a deep red long spear in her right hand.
The woman's eyes were a vivid crimson, like fresh blood, and her lips revealed pure white fangs.
"Vampire...!"
Kirasaka Sayaka identified the opponent.
This alluring woman was indeed a vampire.
"I see." Vatler's gaze shifted to the deep red long spear in her hand, saying, "That's your beast vassal, right?"
Yes.
The deep red long spear was not a weapon but a beast vassal.
Like the Fourth Primogenitor's No. 7 beast vassal, <Kiffa Ater>, some vampires' beast vassals did not take humanoid or animal forms but existed in the shape of weapons, collectively known as living weapons.
The deep red long spear in the female vampire's hand was a beast vassal in the form of a living weapon, allowing it to launch surprise attacks from behind enemies and retract back to its owner's hand, possessing will and life because it was a living weapon.
The two of them, along with their Beast Man companions, ambushed Tobias and Kira.
Yet, the duo acted like bodyguards, were protecting a man.
He was a man with an extremely stern face, streaks of white amid his black hair, nearly fifty years old.
Unlike the female vampire on the left, he did not possess a powerful beast vassal, nor did he boast the robust physique of the black Beast Man; he was just an ordinary human.
However, he wore a white coat and glasses on his face, emanating a calm and intellectual aura.
Because he was not a combatant but a magical engineer.
Looking at this magical engineer, La Folia's expression turned unusually icy, even tinged with a hint of hostility.
"He is..."
"Who...?"
Yukina and Sayaka remained vigilant, one wielding a gun, the other a sword, both facing an imminent threat.
In this situation, Rozen's gaze also fell on the human.
The reason was simple.
Rozen knew him.
He recognized this man.
In the information on Magus Craft handed to Rozen by Asagi today, there was information about this man.
"Kanase Kensei..."
That's right.
The man before him was none other than the former court mage of Aldegyr, Kanase Kensei, the foster father of Kanase Kanon.
"Long time no see, Princess."
Kanase Kensei looked down on La Folia, as if she were the only one in his eyes, speaking in such a manner.
"It's been many years. You've grown up, and become so beautiful."
Kensei Yase spoke calmly and indifferently.
"Kensei..."
La Folia stared sharply at him, her voice revealing a confrontational edge that wasn't there before.
"I didn't expect you to dare show up in front of me, Kensei."
La Folia stared closely at Kanase Kensei, her attitude far from good.
It was only natural.
"Ever since I came to this island, you've been plotting to get rid of me," La Folia said in a low voice. "And now, you've even come to attack this ship. Are you so desperate to keep me from seeing Kanon?"
La Folia made such an inquiry.
"That's not the case."
Kanase Kensei shook his head, denying La Folia's accusation.
"If you want to see Kanon, I can let you see her now."
"She's right here."
With that, Kanase Kensei stepped aside.
Behind him, a figure slowly approached, exposed to everyone's eyes.
