"Could this be Auswählen..."
As they felt themselves enveloped by pillars of light, the power and life within their bodies rapidly drained away. Bambietta, Menina, and the others wore expressions of utter disbelief.
There was no doubt that only one person could use Auswählen to steal their lives and powers: Yhwach.
Yet the Sternritter had always served Lord Yhwach with complete devotion. Had they now become disposable pawns to be cast aside at will?
"So it really is Auswählen. It seems the battle at the Soul King Palace has already reached its climax.
But Yhwach, if you want to use Auswählen to strengthen your forces, I won't let you have your way so easily."
Just as Bambietta and the others felt their power and life rapidly slipping away, Yoru Machi beside them suddenly unleashed his spiritual pressure. A massive spell formation abruptly spread beneath his feet.
Under the cover of that enormous formation, Bambietta and the others could clearly feel the life and power draining from their bodies stop—and even begin to flow back.
Yoru Machi had already conducted some research into Auswählen when he revived Kurosaki Masaki and Katagiri Hanae.
