Chapter 407 Alices Best Friend (1/2)

After the meal with Anima, we finally arrived at the fifth arena.

The arena wasn’t so different from the previous ones, but it looked very intimidating to me right now, especially when I realized that I’m finally standing before the last and strongest of the War King’s Five Generals.

[……I wonder if Lilia-san and the others are inside?]

[I think so. They may have challenged her first.]

I took a quick look around the entrance, but I couldn’t see Lilia-san and the others. So, I assumed that they were challenging Agni-san first, and entered the arena with Anima.

As we continued a little further, we heard cheers and what seemed to be the sounds of battle.

As we walked a little faster, I could see everyone near the entrance of the large arena.

[Oya? Kaito-san. Good work out there.]

[Sieg-san! I’m sorry to keep you waiting…… Is someone challenging Agni-san right now?]

When Sieg-san spotted me, she called out to me, so I slightly bowed and met up with everyone.

[Yes…… Soon, all of us, including My Lady, will have “failed the challenge”.]

[Eeehhh!?]

When I heard what Lunamaria-san said, I immediately moved my gaze to the center of the arena…… There, I saw Agni-san standing leisurely, and Lilia-san brandishing her large sword above, about to swing it down.

Lilia-san, who boasted tremendous power, struck with all her might from above…… This is a sword strike that had the same power of a strike from a Count-rank High-ranking Demon, but Agni-san didn’t move from her spot and easily caught Lilia-san’s sword with one hand.

[……That’s a good attack. However, there is still unevenness in the distribution of magic power in your body.]

[Guhhh……]

It was an overwhelming sight.

When Lilia-san unleashed a series of strikes, she caught all of them with one hand without taking a single step, and when Lilia-san unleashed a tornado-like magic, Agni-san dispersed it with just a casual wave of her hand.

Even if Lilia-san was attacking with a speed that I couldn’t perceive, Agni-san didn’t even consider her strikes as threats and easily dealt with Lilia-san’s attacks without any change in her expression.

It was such an overwhelming difference in ability that even I, an amateur, could understand…… This was the strength of the Head of the War King’s Five Generals……

In the end, Agni-san was able to handle all of Lilia-san’s attacks without moving a single step, and Lilia-san failed as her as time had ran out.

[……That wasn’t a bad match. I look forward to our next match.]

[Y- Yes…… Thank you…… very much.]

Breathing heavily, Lilia-san came back looking tired.

[Lilia-san, are you alright?]

[Kaito-san…… Yes, Agni-san, the Head of the War King’s Five Generals…… Even with a handicap, I still couldn’t do anything against her.]

[I mean, we watched the other challengers while waiting for Miyama-sama…… and it seems like “none of them have managed to clear it”.]

[……Seriously……]

Agni-san, how relentless can you be? For no one to manage to clear it……

Shuddering at what Lunamaria-san said, I spoke to Anima who was standing next to me.

[……Anima, are you confident you can win?]

[Frustrating as it may be…… I don’t see any chance of me winning. Compared to Epsilon-san…… Agni-san is in another dimension.]

[I see……]

It seems that Agni-san was so strong that even Anima said that she couldn’t win against her even before trying. She’s definitely the strongest of the Five Generals I’ve met so far…… To be honest, if even Lilia-san can’t win, then the only ones who I can ask to win on my behalf are Eden-san or Pandora-san……

[If it isn’t Miyama-sama. Welcome to my arena.]

[Ah, yes. Hello…… Errr, I will be intruding.]
