"Senpai!"
Watching Rozen ruthlessly pierced by the magical spear, Mash finally uttered a shocked cry.
"Fou!"
Fou, too, seemed somewhat startled.
At this moment, Scáthach appeared by Rozen's side like a phantom, her magical spear already in a thrusting position.
However, facing Rozen pierced by her own merciless attack, Scáthach remained indifferent and somewhat approving.
"The timing of using magecraft is incredibly accurate. Is this thanks to the 'Heaven's Eye' that has reached the divine realm?"
With these words, Scáthach casually shook the magical spear in her hand.
"Bang!"
Rozen, with a vacant expression, was directly blown apart by this thrust, turning into pure flesh fragments.
However, on the body turned into fragments, not a drop of blood could be seen. Instead, it disappeared like smoke.
"Illusion?"
Mash finally realized.
At the same time...
"Zing!"
A Rune suddenly lit up under Scáthach's feet without warning.
"Boom!"
Immediately, flames rose like a tornado, covering Scáthach entirely.
The surrounding air instantly became extremely hot.
The ground was burned to a crisp.
The powerful flames continued to burn, causing the space to seem flickering.
Rozen reappeared not far away, like a mirage, completely unharmed.
"Senpai!"
Seeing Rozen appearing unscathed, Mash finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was Rozen who, gazing at the raging flames rising like a tornado, couldn't help but speak.
"This level can't even touch you; don't play games."
Rozen uttered these words.
"Heheh..."
Within the storm of flames, Scáthach's voice suddenly sounded.
"Well done. You've already mastered the use of Rune magic skillfully. With your ultimate 'Eye,' you're probably superior even to me when it comes to using and manipulating Runes."
Saying this, Scáthach walked out of the flames.
On her body, a faint Rune was also flickering, separating the surrounding flames.
"In this age where the divine era has faded and mysteries have weakened, to encounter a human like you, maybe it's the grace of the heavens?"
Scáthach raised her eyes and stared directly at Rozen.
"I'll go all out, so try to stop me."
Scáthach burst out with even more terrifying magical power and killing intent.
In her hands, the two magical spears began to emit ominous flames, disturbing the air.
At this moment, Scáthach moved seriously.
"Here I come!"
Eyes sharpened, Scáthach, like a gust of wind, leaped out, closing a distance of tens of meters to zero in an instant, rushing to Rozen's front.
"Hah!"
With a low shout, Scáthach's dual spears transformed into endless streams of spear radiance, forming a vast and overwhelming array of flashing thrusts, enveloping Rozen.
Each spear radiance was a flawless technique.
Each thrust followed the most mysterious trajectory.
In Rozen's "Mind's Eye," this endless barrage of spear attacks seemed to annihilate all phenomena in the microscopic world, leaving only flashes filling his entire field of vision.
This formidable technique was simply astonishing.
If "Mind's Eye" hadn't reached the divine realm, Rozen wouldn't have been able to see through each attack.
Moreover, even if he could see through the attacks without wearing the Kinu coat, Rozen wouldn't have been confident enough to dodge them.
But now...
"Phew!"
Rozen's coat suddenly fluttered, scattering brilliant sparks like it had come to life, carrying Rozen as if it had a mind of its own, swiftly and ghostly evading.
Scáthach immediately pursued.
In her hands, countless spear radiance continued to flicker, like thunder and rain, ceaselessly calling out toward Rozen.
Rozen, connected with Kinu through his consciousness, used the ability of "Mind's Eye" to see through all attacks. Manipulating Kinu, he avoided the countless spear tips within the infinite barrage, deflecting the attacks of the ominous magical spears.
Then, Rozen perfectly seized the opening in Scáthach's every attack, continuously drawing runes in space, making them radiate light.
If Scáthach displayed the realm of the spear, then Rozen showcased a magical feast.
Each Rune symbol, either producing individual effects or transforming into flames, cold air, storms, or releasing thunder, countered Scáthach with numerous magical attacks. There were also clever combinations of two, three, or multiple Runes, creating various magical effects like curses, restraints, illusions. Thorn runes identical to Scáthach's magical spears even emerged from the ground like mushrooms, displaying almost all mysterious effects.
This is Rune, an independent and comprehensive magical system. Although it cannot be said to encompass all magical effects in the world, the variety of magical types formed through various combinations is surprisingly extensive.
Just like the English alphabet, which has only twenty-six letters but can form a complete language and grammar, runic symbols can cast various spells through combinations. Consequently, depending on the user's understanding, the runic magic and combat styles employed by runemasters can vary.
For example, Cú Chulainn excelled in using heat and flame Runes, Scáthach adapted them effectively in different situations, creating effects similar to clairvoyance, magic resistance, and physical enhancement. Once, in front of Fionn and Diarmuid, she used Runes beneficial for battlefield escape, showcasing a versatile approach.
However, in this aspect, Rozen went even further than Scáthach.
"Zing! Zing! Zing! Zing!"
Under the flickering of one Rune after another, various magical effects were manifested. They subtly formed an encirclement, enveloping both Rozen and Scáthach.
"This is...!?"
Scáthach suddenly halted her pursuit, looking around.
Surprisingly, around the Runes that had produced effects, there were also individual Runes just inscribed in space, radiating light.
There were a total of eighteen symbols.
"The Primordial Runes...!"
It was precisely the eighteen Primordial Runes.
Rozen had actually inscribed and released all eighteen Primordial Runes together.
Yes.
Released together.
"This is the trump card your most proud disciple once used in front of me. Now, I'll recreate it, showing you my greatest achievement in these three days!"
Rozen gracefully floated out of the encirclement of Rune symbols, a smirk playing on his lips as he unleashed immense magical power.
"〈Great God's Inscription (Ochd Deug Odin)〉!"
A Noble Phantasm-level grand magic was released by Rozen.
