Chapter 736: The Power of a King ② (1/2)

A mock battle between Isis-san and Iris-san that would take place in the center of the Demon Realm…… a place that's apparently called the Forbidden Lands. It sounds like an extremely dangerous place, but apparently, it's a place where the Six Kings used to fight and train each other.

This is probably where Megiddo-san and Lillywood-san went when they quarrelled back then.

[……I know it's too late to ask this, but why would she be fighting Isis-san?]

[It's simply because she's the right person for the job. Kuro-san could also be fitting for the role, but when she gets serious, she's the type of person who would punch people with fists stacked with buffs like ”Null: Recovery”, ”Absolute Destruction”or ”Causality Collapse”, so she wouldn't be helpful to the magic-oriented Iris.]

In other words, the fist that Kuro brandishes when she gets serious is not only powerful, but it also has a tremendous number of debuffs. As expected of her.

[As for Lillywood-san, personality-wise, she would also be fitting for the role…… but her main strategy is to use her unreasonably hard defense to prevent attacks and hit back with an unbelievably amplified strike, so I can't say she's suitable. Magnawell-san's attacks are just too wide-scale, while that gorilla's priority would definitely be just his enjoyment.]

[I- I see.]

[In that case, the magic-oriented Isis-san would be an opponent that Iris, who is also a magic-oriented fighter, would learn a lot from.]

[……Fumu, even so, I'm looking forward to it. Even though it would just be a mock battle, it's been a long time since I've felt my blood boil at the thought of facing one of the best in the world.]

When I nodded, understanding Alice's decision with her explanation, Iris-san, who was also walking nearby, smiled. I thought about it when I was fighting with Agni-san, but I guess Iris-san has a belligerent side to her.

As we were moving along with these thoughts in mind, we soon arrived at the Forbidden Lands. Isis-san was already waiting for us there, and when she noticed us, she lightly waved her hand.

[……Kaito…… Shalltear…… Errr…… Iris…… was it? ……Hello.]

[Hello, Isis-san.]

[I'm sorry for the sudden request.]

[Isis-dono, I'm in your care today.]

After a brief greeting, Isis-san and Iris-san moved to a location a few hundred meters away from Alice and I.

Even though they would just be having a mock battle today, their purpose would be to let Iris-san experience a high-dimensional battle, so Alice will teach her on how to battle from here.

Well, that's all well and good, but there's one thing I'm bothered about.

[……Hey, Alice.]

[What is it?]

[Is this even a fight that I can watch? With our distance from them, I don't really feel like I can see much……]

[Ahh~~ That's right, isn't it?]

Of course, I don't even know if I'll be able to see the fight between them properly, as my physical specs are only within the range of common sense for humans…… Or rather, this would definitely be impossible.

When I told her that, she thought for a moment and turned towards the skies, she shouted in an exaggerated manner.

[Ahh~~ At this rate, Kaito-san won't be able to enjoy watching! If only Kaito-san could see ”ten times the speed of light”~~ Kaito-san is so pitiful~~]

[……Alice, what the heck are you doing?]

As I tilted my head at her sudden strange actions, something that looked like glasses appeared in my hand.

(With that, you can see up to ten times the speed of light. It also automatically switches the speed of the things you see, so you won't see normal movement too slowly.)

I see, so Alice requested that Shiro-san…… ”to give me an item with specs like this so I can watch the battle”……

Ahh, errr, Shiro-san. This really helps me. Thank you very much.

(You can also add some ”I love you” there, you know? Adding those words makes me happy.)

I feel like I'm just a fish baited to do that, so I'll just tell you that another time. Anyway, thank you very much.

[Alright, that should do it.]
