"Boom!"
When the high-level magic power on the Black Sword of Yama burned like a flame, evaporating the surrounding atmosphere and causing a shocking explosion, the first to react was not Jess, but Kirsty.
"Lord Jess …!"
Kirsty's expression changed completely. After shouting, she jumped in front of Jess without hesitation.
In his hand, a pitch-black scythe took shape and was grasped in his hand.
That was not a magical alchemy weapon.
Unlike the human pilots who used magical alchemy weapons, the weapons used by the humanoid magic beetles were formed by their own curse power, which was somewhat similar to the Inherent Spiritual Equipment in the previous world.
The scythe Kirsty used was formed by her own curse power. It was extremely sharp, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a divine weapon.
At that moment, Kirsty raised her scythe high, and a violent curse power surged from her body.
To that …
"Swish!"
The pitch-black Tricobalt Sword flew out without a sound, like a ray of black light, explosively shooting in front of Kirsty. The blade was raised and heavily slashed down in Kirsty's direction.
"Clang!"
When such a loud metallic sound rang, the entire mansion and even the entire Pope's floating city suddenly trembled.
In the floating city, the people seemed to have encountered a sudden earthquake. They were shaken to the ground and screamed loudly.
The airmen were also greatly shocked, and all of them began to stagger unsteadily from side to side.
In the living room of Wigart's mansion, as the pitch-black Tri-Cobalt Sword slammed heavily onto Kirsty's scythe of curses, the entire ground crumbled and exploded into smithereens.
"Cough …!"
Kirsty coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her whole body was blasted into a deep pit, buried by rubble, and disappeared.
"What's going on …!?"
"Oh my God …!"
In the mansion, the servants cried out in alarm.
Under this blow, more than half of Wigart's mansion was blasted into pieces as if it was hit by a big explosion.
Miraculously, none of the humans here were injured. They were just in a state of panic.
The seats that Rozen and Jess were sitting on weren't damaged at all. It was as if they were sitting right beside the crater and ruins. It looked extremely ridiculous.
The Tricobalt Sword, which had caused all of this, flew back to Rozen's side as if it had accomplished its mission.
"How foolish." Rozen didn't even look at the huge pit next to him. He shook his head and curled his lips. "You clearly saw that high-level magic was used here, but you still didn't use it. You still dare to stand out to protect your master. You're not a good secretary."
Rozen acted as if nothing had happened and was still making such sarcastic remarks.
Unbeknownst to him, Jess's pupils had already shrunk to the size of a needle when he saw all of this, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Seeing that Kirsty was blasted into the deep pit and there was no movement at all, and the whole Wigart Mansion was directly destroyed, Jess was silent.
At that moment, Jess was forced to change his view of Rozen again.
Because Rozen once again proved that he was underestimated.
Jess didn't expect that Rozen was strong to this extent.
This was truly unfathomable.
"Phew …"
Jess could only exhale and force himself to calm down.
"I wonder if you're satisfied now?"
Jess showed the same smile to Rozen as if nothing had happened.
Rozen also nodded readily.
"This way, I'll consider it as paying back the debt from Mistergang."
Rozen said so, but the way he looked at Jess was very intriguing.
"Anyway, even if I kill you here, it doesn't make any sense, right?"
As soon as those words came out, Jess's heart suddenly tightened.
There was only one sentence in Jess's heart.
(He … saw through it …?)
Yes.
He saw through it.
How could he hide it in front of Rozen's Eye of the Mind?
"You're not actually here at all, right?"
Rozen said the truth that Jess hid.
The truth was, from the beginning, Jess was not here. Only Jess's puppets and clones were here. It was a bit like Nakamura's means. Compared to Nakamura's magical skills, Jess's skills were far worse, and Rozen saw through it at a glance.
"Is this also the effect of the spell?"
Rozen said with a smile.
After a long time of contact and research, Rozen has long known that the spell was a kind of cursed power that could bring various effects.
For example, the strengthening of the body.
For example, the improvement of the body's resilience.
Another example, the enhancement of the overall ability.
That was the ability shown by the general Demon Armor Beetle.
However, the effect of the spell was naturally more than that.
As mentioned before, the spell was a kind of interference force that was in a different phase from the magic power.
Since it was interference force, it could naturally be used to use tactics.
For example, the former Antares and Deneb and other mutants could use the spell barrier to resist the enemy's attack, and they could also turn the spell into light to attack. That was the proof that the spell could be activated with the spell.
What's more, the spell's interference force was above the magic power.
In other words, the spell was actually stronger than the magic power.
However, it was different from using runes to activate spells and using magic power. Curse power was definitely not achieved by using runes to inscribe spells.
If Rozen's research was correct …
"Curse power uses the Mental Image Tactic. It can turn one's inner imagination into the power of reality and display it. Am I right?"
Rozen said the secret of the spell.
Upon hearing that, Jess was silent again.
This time, Jess had to admit it.
The human in front of him was not only powerful, but his wisdom was also far beyond his expectation.
So …
"You're right. The way to use curse power is through the Mental Image Tactic. Although it doesn't mean that one's wishes will come true, and there's a difference between being good at it and not being good at it, as long as there's a deep impression in the depths of one's heart, forming a mental image, then one can form a tactic and directly use curse power to achieve it."
Jess chose to be honest.
"Therefore, the power of the spell is above the magic power, and the power of collapse is the product of the fusion and sublimation of the two powers, which is better than the spell."
Because of this, Jess could casually do something to Alice to achieve his goal of faraway vision. At the same time, he created a clone to see Rozen, but he was not here at all.
That was just a precautionary measure to avoid being ambushed by Rozen, who was still unclear about his background.
Who would have thought that this countermeasure would become Jess's life-saving trump card.
However, even without this life-saving trump card, in fact, Rozen did not intend to kill Jess here.
Not to mention how much trouble and repercussions killing Jess here would cause, once Jess died, the humanoid Demon Beetles hidden around the world would probably go on a rampage, and humans would welcome an inhumane catastrophe.
Considering this, Rozen could not directly kill Jess in front of him.
At least, not now.
Of course, Rozen did not intend to be led by the nose by Jess.
This was the reason why Rozen made a strong move.
"Buzz …"
The pitch-black Tricobalt Sword turned into a bloody mist and dissipated.
Rozen looked at Jess and smiled faintly.
"Alright, Mr. President, if you have anything to say, say it now. There are no outsiders anyway."
Upon hearing this, countless thoughts flashed through Jess's eyes.
In the end, it turned into a sentence.
"Cooperate with me."
Jess, in the end, still threw out an olive branch.
