Kapitel 1042: -1029- The increase in power
In the end, Rozen did not leave home and head to the Old Southeast Region.
"If Natsuki-nee really has a way to protect Avrora, then it's not impossible to step back."
Originally, Rozen's main reason for wanting to deal with Zaharias was because he would eventually target Avrora. Apart from that, he just wanted to settle the score with him.
If Natsuki is confident she can protect Avrora, then Rozen might as well let it go.
"The only question is, how much trouble will the ritual to awaken the Fourth Primogenitor cause on Itogami Island?"
For Rozen, whether the Fourth Primogenitor awakens isn't a big concern. Even if it creates a new Night Empire, it's something politicians need to worry about, not Rozen.
However, if the awakening of the Fourth Primogenitor puts Itogami Island in danger, Rozen can't just ignore it. After all, Rozen lives on Itogami Island now. If the Fourth Primogenitor truly threatens the island, Rozen will be affected.
Moreover, there are many people on the island that Rozen knows. Rozen can't just watch them get caught up in something like the Holy Slaughter event. So, Rozen can't stay out of it.
But now...
"Since Natsuki-nee says she has a way, we can assume the situation won't be that severe, right?"
After all, Natsuki is not just a national Attack Mage, but also a teacher at Saikai Academy and an instructor for the Sanctuary Security Team. With her personality, she wouldn't just stand by and watch people around her suffer.
If she believes she has a solution, then the situation might not be too serious. At least Itogami Island shouldn't suffer significant damage, and her students should be safe.
That's probably why Natsuki came to specifically instruct Rozen, as only he might recklessly get involved in the situation beyond Natsuki's control.
In that case...
"Maybe I should just mind my own business."
Rozen had this thought. Even if Zaharias really manages to awaken the Fourth Primogenitor and ignite wars around the world, it's something those countries need to deal with.
Moreover, even if the Fourth Primogenitor is the strongest vampire in the world, it doesn't mean he's invincible.
Even if one person can't defeat him, if the Three Primogenitors join forces, the Fourth Primogenitor will probably kneel.
Besides, there's no rule that says they have to engage in fair combat. If they resort to murder and assassination, it's not impossible to kill the Fourth Primogenitor.
The fact that there are only three Holy Spears created by Devas that can kill even Primogenitors proves this point, right?
Compared to dealing with King Solomon, who can burn away entire human history and can't be understood or touched, the threat posed by the Fourth Primogenitor isn't that big.
Rozen came to this world not to save humanity but to buy time to improve himself. Therefore, as long as he can protect the people around him, Rozen is already content. If the safety of the people around him is guaranteed, Rozen doesn't need to waste time getting involved. It's more effective to focus on improving himself minute by minute.
It's precisely because of this mindset that Rozen hasn't been actively trying to deal with Zaharias.
Moreover, even if he wants to deal with Zaharias, can Rozen really go to Nelapsi and cause trouble?
It's too much trouble, right?
However...
"The Caruana sisters probably won't accept it, right?"
It's only to prevent Zaharias's conspiracy that the sisters are willing to sacrifice everything.
And Rozen promised them that he would eventually settle the score with Zaharias.
So...
"It's really headache-inducing."
Rozen sighed and then shook his head.
"Never mind, I won't think about it. I'll just go out for some fresh air."
Saying so, Rozen pushed open the door of the room and walked into the living room.
As soon as he entered the living room, Rozen noticed that someone was already sitting on the sofa.
"Avrora?"
Rozen was somewhat surprised.
"Mm...!"
Sitting on the sofa, lost in thought, Avrora seemed startled, quickly turned her head, looked at the source of the sound, and only relaxed when she saw Rozen, but then, like a child caught doing something wrong, she shrunk her body.
Looking at Avrora in this state, Rozen initially felt skeptical, but then his expression changed.
Because...
"Your magic..."
Rozen's expression became serious.
Upon closer observation, one would notice that Avrora sitting on the sofa was emanating a very frightening magical power.
That power was much stronger compared to Avrora's previous magic power.
In other words, Avrora's magic had become stronger.
And it happened suddenly.
Therefore, Avrora seemed to be desperately trying to control her power and suppress it, which is why it went unnoticed until now.
However, perhaps due to gaining too much power, Avrora seemed to have lost control to some extent, leading Rozen to notice this anomaly as soon as he approached.
This made Rozen almost instinctively walk over.
"Don't... don't come any closer!"
However, Avrora, seeming scared, shrank her body and rare shouted at Rozen.
This made Rozen stop in his tracks.
Obviously, Avrora herself seemed to be unsure of what was happening, so she was currently in a state of extreme anxiety.
No, judging from Avrora's appearance, it seemed like she wasn't completely clueless about what was going on.
"...When did this happen?"
Rozen stared at Avrora and asked in such a manner.
His implication was naturally asking Avrora when she noticed her power increasing.
With a face almost on the verge of tears, Avrora, still shrinking her body, spoke with a sobbing voice.
"Yesterday... my power suddenly..."
When this sentence reached Rozen's ears, he basically understood what was going on.
"Yesterday...?"
Wasn't that when the vampire infection broke out in the Old Southeast Region?
In other words, Avrora's sudden increase in power was probably related to the awakening ritual of the Fourth Primogenitor.
Perhaps Avrora had some inkling of this when she heard about it from Asagi in the morning?
So, Avrora must have been so afraid in the morning, and Rozen originally thought it was just her nature, but it seems not only that.
Avrora's resistance to Rozen's approach is probably also because she's scared?
Scared of one thing...
"You might get infected by the curse power emanating from me."
Avrora said these words with extreme unease and fear.
It seems this vampire girl believes that the vampire infection broke out because of her existence.
Therefore, she resists Rozen's approach, right?
