Absolute Severance (v19)

“There’s more to it than that. As you may know, the ‘Covenant King Uriel’ also had the ability to listen to the voices of the people. Or rather, the voices of those connected to Veldanava. It could be a wish for hope, a prayer for salvation, or any number of other desires, but it didn’t lose its power when I had it.”

“…So what do you mean?”

“See the resemblance? With the ‘Justice KingMichael’ you’re using now.”

As long as there was loyalty to its owner, the ‘Castle Guard’ was invincible. In other words, the ‘Covenant King Uriel’ and the ‘Justice KingMichael’ were similar in the sense that they listened to the voices of those who were connected to them.

“By the way, ‘Covenant King Uriel’ also has an ‘Absolute Defense’ which is an application of the ‘Infinite Prison’ and can be broken at the critical moment. I’m proud to say that the means of attack I devised by using it was quite impressive.”

Rudra grinned after saying this. He lightly swung Deva in his hand, making its blade glow with light.

“You can ‘see’ it, can’t you?”

“Mmm…”

Upon seeing the light, Feldway’s face changed color. He realized at a glance that it had the same properties as the ‘Castle Guard’ he wore.

“The more people who believe in me, the more power I have. How many of your followers do you have? I’ve got over a billion people counting on me!”

Rudra’s words were true. The total number of Feldway’s followers was less than a million. The number of those who believed in Feldway had been greatly reduced and was now believed to be less than 300,000. On the other hand, the number of those who believed in Rudra reached 800 million among the subjects of the Empire alone. Here in the royal capital of Ingracia alone, millions of people had placed their hope in Rudra. Rather, it was for Masayuki, but since they were the same person, it was accepted without any issues. There was a huge gap between Rudra and Feldway in regard to the absolute number of supporters they had. Feldway’s face twisted in frustration as he realized this.

“This is the deadly blow that will unleash the united will of those who believe in me— ‘Absolute Severance’!!”

Feldway could sense the danger.
