It must be said that even if Xia Lu was one of the thirteen in the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Mechanical Engineering, she was still a student.
Perhaps in terms of strength and technology, Xia Lu was not inferior to the puppeteers in the army, but in actual combat, she still had some shortcomings.
Therefore, when the shadow swooped from the woods, Xia Lu's mind was almost blank, and she couldn't react in time.
Sigmund reacted in advance, but because the puppeteer didn't provide him with magical power, he couldn't respond at all.
And that scene was seen by Rozen, who was flying in the air at the fastest speed.
At that moment, Rozen's eyes were slightly sharp.
As the Mana within his body revolved, it suddenly turned into Curse Power.
"Namo Hachiman Bodhisattva!"
Rozen, who was carrying an endless amount of fire powder, whispered such an incantation as he flew at an extremely fast speed.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound rang as Rozen clapped his hands, and the spell power instantly erupted from his hands.
The spell power that erupted was like a sonic wave. While passing through the space, like an invisible cannonball, it hit the shadow that was approaching Xia Lu.
"Boom!"
Amidst the heart-stopping sound, the shadow seemed to be hit by an invisible impact and turned into a ball, tearing the air while being blown away in front of Xia Lu.
If there was a professional Onmyoji here, he would be surprised to see Rozen's spell, right?
Because it was not a spell.
In terms of classification, it should indeed belong to the category of a type of spell.
However, it was different from the Incantations that were performed using Tactics. This was merely the release of Incantation Power and Spiritual Energy to form an attack. Although the theory was simple, it was a primitive Incantation before the "Skills" known as Tactics appeared.
And because of its primitive nature, its power was completely determined by the size of the spell power and spiritual power released by the user.
Taking Rozen as an example, if he only released a small portion of his curse power, the power would at most be able to knock someone unconscious. However, if he released all of his curse power in one go, he would probably be able to blow up an entire forest and even cut off a piece of a mountain.
Now, So Rozen used this method to transform the curse power into a pure impact and sent the shadow flying.
Of course, Xia Lu, who was extremely close to the explosion, could not avoid being affected by it.
"Ah!"
Xia Lu let out a shrill scream as her entire body was blown up and fell to the ground.
"It hurts …!"
Xia Lu cried out in pain the moment she fell to the ground.
But at this time, no one cared about Xia Lu.
"Who …!?"
Sigmund asked in a deep voice as he flew in front of Xia Lu and stared sharply at the shadow that had been blasted away.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't even reply. Instead, with the help of the aftermath of the impact, he flew a certain distance away, flipped over, and swept into the shadows, disappearing.
Only then did Rozen land in mid-air with a pitch-black coat.
"It's you?"
Sigmund was startled.
"You …!"
Xia Lu also stood up in surprise. She wanted to say something, but somehow, her pretty face turned slightly pale and showed a trace of pain.
"Rozen!"
At this time, Ye Ye also jumped out of the forest and jumped down from the top of the tree.
"Go after him, Ye Ye."
Rozen instructed Ye Ye.
"Yes!"
Ye Ye immediately continued to step on the ground and leaped high into the air like a rocket. Then, with a whistling sound of strong wind, she rushed in the direction where the shadow disappeared.
The scene returned to silence.
Rozen turned around and looked at Xia Lu and Sigmund who were sitting in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and said.
"Why are you guys here?"
So Rozen asked such a question.
Before Sigmund could say anything, Xia Lu had already spoken.
"I should be the one saying that!" Xia Lu said angrily, "Why did you suddenly jump out and scare me?!"
Xia Lu complained loudly.
"Who scared you?" Rozen squinted his eyes and said, "I've already warned you to be careful and even saved you. How did it end up as scaring you?"
Speaking of this, Rozen was not in a good mood.
"Who … Who needs your help!" Xia Lu said angrily, "Even if you didn't suddenly jump out, I could handle it myself!"
She was completely putting on a brave front.
"Really?" Rozen suddenly said playfully, "Then why did I see someone completely stunned just now? Hmm? "
Rozen said in a mocking tone.
"You …! You …! "
Xia Lu seemed to know that her performance was embarrassing, so she was so angry that her whole body began to tremble.
"Calm down, Xia Lu." Sigmund flew to Xia Lu's side and landed on the ground. He said, "First, let's figure out the situation."
After saying that, Sigmund turned to Rozen.
"Thank you very much for your help, Rorelles Agnézhen."
Sigmund bowed his head to Rozen to express his gratitude.
He looked like a calm and composed elder, which made others feel deep respect for him.
"No need." Rozen also turned his gaze to Sigmund and said with a smile, "It seems that the puppet is more civilized than the master."
Hearing that, Xia Lu's willowy eyebrows raised. Just as she was about to fly into a rage, Sigmund spoke as if he had calculated the right time.
"Was that the thief who tried to attack you just now?"
That was Sigmund's question.
In the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Mechanic Arts, such attacks were not rare.
Because he was ranked first and was closest to the throne of the Demon King, there were countless people who wanted to deal with him by hook or by crook, so the members of the team had to stay close to him to protect him.
Although Rozen's current ranking had not been rearranged, who would doubt his strength?
Therefore, there should be a lot of people who saw him as an enemy who prevented them from ascending to the throne of the Demon King and wanted to get rid of him secretly.
Because of that, Sigmund said that.
But …
"We still don't know where they came from or what their goal is." Rozen shook his head and said, "But, will the academy allow this kind of sneak attack?"
"Of course not." Sigmund replied directly, "If it is an attack without malicious intent, both the discipline committee and the guards will stop it. They should be here soon."
As soon as that was said …
"That … that won't do!" Xia Lu was still sitting on the ground. Her expression suddenly froze and she became flustered. She hurriedly said, "We have to leave before the discipline committee arrives!"
After saying that, Xia Lu wanted to get up.
"Ahhh!"
However, in the next second, Xia Lu cried out in pain again and sat back down with a pained expression.
Rozen and Sigmund finally noticed that.
One of Xia Lu's ankles was abnormally red and swollen.
It was obvious that Xia Lu had accidentally sprained her ankle when she fell just now.
Looking at Xia Lu sitting on the ground, holding her ankle and tearing up in pain, Rozen couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems that even the rumored Tyrannosaurus is just an ordinary girl."
That's it.
