"Nine …"
Rozen's eyes flickered as he stared at the fairy-like girls who looked exactly the same as him lying in the coffins.
Although he had already expected it, Rozen couldn't help but show a solemn expression after confirming that Zaharias had collected a total of nine matrix bodies and retrieved all nine of the Fourth True Ancestor's familiars.
Now, only three of the twelve coffins were empty.
The sixth.
The tenth.
And the twelfth represented by Agourola.
With only three matrix bodies left, Zaharias would be able to gather all of the Fourth True Ancestor's power.
"Yaburo Yaburo …"
Agourola, who was held in Rozen's arms, looked at the matrix bodies in the coffins and also showed an indescribable emotion.
Speaking of which, it was the first time Agourola saw a matrix body other than himself.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for Agulola to remain unmoved when he suddenly saw close to 10 young girls who looked exactly like him lying in the coffins like corpses without moving at all.
However, Agourola didn't notice one thing.
That was …
"The magical power of those matrix bodies has skyrocketed."
Yes.
The magical power of those matrix bodies had skyrocketed.
Just like Agourola's magical power suddenly increased, the matrix bodies in Rozen's eyes were also filled with strong magical power that they didn't have in the past.
Zaharias stood in front of the coffins and bowed to Rozen, who had landed on the ground.
"I'm really sorry for coming uninvited, but I think it's about time to return to Flux God Island again, so I was preparing to send Your Excellency an invitation letter for a banquet after a while. I didn't expect Your Excellency to be more anxious than I thought. How delightful."
Zaharias continued to smile like this. He looked very friendly, but there was an unreal feeling of incongruity that constantly fluctuated from his body. One could tell with a single glance that his friendliness and the smile on his face were all fake, just like his exaggerated and pretentious attitude.
Agourola seemed to be afraid of Zaharias and hid behind Rozen.
Rozen, on the other hand, did not look at Zaharias. He was still staring at the girls in the coffins behind him and said indifferently.
"I thought you were preparing to retrieve the remaining two base bodies in the Primal Chaos Domain before coming to Flux God Island."
Rozen said without any sadness or joy.
On the contrary, Zaharias, whose expression and demeanor were very rich, shook his head at Rozen's words with a wry smile.
"It can't be helped. Unlike the nobles of the Battle Monarch Domain and the princes of the Extermination Dynasty, the one in the Chaotic Realm isn't so easy to deal with. If I can't awaken the fourth true ancestor, then even if I have nine matrix bodies, I don't have the confidence to seize them. That's why I had no choice but to come to Flux God Island first and recover the last matrix body outside the Chaotic Realm so that the fourth true ancestor can awaken ahead of time. At that time, even if the fourth true ancestor isn't perfect due to the lack of two beast dependents, the power of the fourth true ancestor should be enough to suppress that one, right?"
Rather than saying these words full of confidence, it would be better to say that they were full of expectation.
As if he was looking for a qualified target to test the performance of his weapon, Zaharias considered the one in the Primal Chaos Realm as a qualified target. He was prepared to use her to test the weapon he was about to obtain, the Godslaying Weapon of the Fourth True Ancestor.
From start to finish, this arms dealer had never treated the fourth true ancestor and its matrix body as a person, but merely as a weapon.
Therefore, even though Agourola, whom he was looking for, was right in front of him, Zaharias didn't even look at her. Instead, he kept talking to Rozen. Perhaps he thought he didn't need to talk too much with a weapon, and that might be the case.
Only Rozen, the chosen one he acknowledged, could talk to him as an equal.
That was how Zaharias displayed his natural arrogance.
Of course, Zaharias wasn't ignoring Agulola. He was only treating her like a weapon. At this moment, he finally looked at her, and his eyes began to show signs of evaluation.
"So that's how it is. She's already starting to fill up the magic needed for the awakening. Not bad, not bad at all. She can carry out the ceremony now."
Zaharias gave such a satisfied evaluation.
"Oh …"
Agulola only felt fear when she was stared at by Zaharias as if he was looking at an excellent commodity.
Only Rozen, who was still protecting Agulola behind him, raised his eyebrows and spoke.
"You said we're going to carry out the ceremony, but how exactly should we do it?"
Rozen actually made such a statement as if he wanted to cooperate.
That surprised Zaharias a little, but he wasn't stingy with his words. As if he wanted to show the nature of a merchant, he revealed a pretentious smile.
"Actually, Your Excellency should have more or less guessed it, right?"
Zaharias said this with a smile and certainty.
"Sort of."
Rozen didn't hide it and nodded frankly.
Rozen did have some understanding of the so-called Flaming Banquet's nature.
For example …
"I've been thinking, since the fourth true ancestor is known as the strongest vampire, where does his power come from?"
Agourola, who was standing behind him, was startled by Rozen's question.
But Zaharias nodded.
Because …
"The strength of vampires is directly related to blood. The reason why the True Ancestors can stand at the top of the world is because of the huge power accumulated in their blood."
That was something that had been mentioned several times before.
For vampires to become stronger, they either had to have blood close to the True Ancestor's, or they had to suck blood over a long period of time to accumulate the magic they wanted.
The reason why the True Ancestors were powerful was not only because they had the blood of the first vampire ancestor, but also because they had existed for a long time and accumulated a huge amount of power in their blood.
In that case, there was a problem.
"How did the fourth true ancestor, who is known as the strongest vampire, accumulate this power?"
Rozen raised this question.
"As a True Ancestor, the fourth true ancestor's blood must be at the same level as the other True Ancestors. So, if he wants to surpass the other True Ancestors, he has to find a way to accumulate more power over a long period of time, right?"
However, the fourth true ancestor was different from the other True Ancestors. He had a fatal flaw.
That was …
"The fourth true ancestor is an artificial True Ancestor."
Rozen pointed out the most important flaw in the system.
"The people who made him are the three True Ancestors and Tian. He was created later, so it's impossible for him to accumulate the power brought by a huge amount of time."
Because of this problem, the fourth true ancestor couldn't be stronger than the other three True Ancestors.
But in other words …
"As long as this problem is solved, the fourth true ancestor can become the strongest existence."
Rozen pointed out calmly.
"The so-called Flaming Banquet is actually a ritual to provide the fourth true ancestor with a huge amount of time."
"Its essence is to seize the inherent accumulation of time from others."
