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

[I think I just saw some cruel cheating technique……]

[It's a little late for that, don't you think?]

[……Well, yeah.]

After swallowing all these various unexplained emotions, I put on my glasses and turned to Isis-san and Iris-san. At that moment, Alice called out.

[Well then, I guess it's about time we start…… but I don't think it's a good idea to start with a serious battle, so let's split up the offense and defense first to let Iris get used to fighting. Isis-san, is that alright with you?]

[……Unnn…… It's alright…… Also…… Kaito…… you look good in glasses…… You look cool.]

Hearing Isis-san's compliments, whose words don't have any hidden meaning to it unlike the girl beside me, I felt really happy. However, for me to clearly hear Isis-san's voice, which was supposed to be rather quiet, even though she was several hundred meters away, I wonder if it's because of some magic?

[Then, let's start with Iris on the offense, but Isis-san shouldn't avoid it, and instead block it. Iris, attack as hard as you can, okay?]

[……Unnn.]

[Alright.]

Iris-san had already manifested her Heart Tool ἀποκάλυψις and seemed to be completely ready for battle. The atmosphere around her seemed a little sharp and tense.

On the other hand, Isis-san seemed to be relaxed and not nervous as all, her posture as natural as usual.

[Well then, start!]

After Alice's shout, Isis-san floated up into the sky. This is probably to keep Iris-san from shooting magic from underground.

In response, Iris-san held up her ἀποκάλυψις and released her powerful magic power.

[The opponent is one of the best in the world…… In that case, I will go all out from the first move! The twilight bell tolls, listen to the song of destruction as the Beast of the End roars.]

This is Iris-san's strongest technique that she showed in her previous fight with Agni-san……

[Swallow, Tyrannical Beast! ————ἀποκάλυψις!!!]

Was it because of these glasses? I can clearly see that an extremely large black light was emitted from Iris-san's staff towards the sky and swallowed up Isis-san, who didn't even deploy a magic barrier.

[Isis-san!?]

[……Don't worry.]

As I shouted, worried about Isis-san, Alice's calm voice came from next to me.

[Rather, you've been looking down at her too much…… It's true that, well, for Kaito-san, she might look like a fleeting beauty, your cute girlfriend that you wanted to protect but……]

When the extreme flash of light ended and the blinding light cleared up…… from within it……

[That person…… In this vast Demon Realm filled with many powerful people, there are only six of them————– People who are called ”King”.]

……There was Isis-san, still in her initial posture, without a scratch or the slightest stain on her clothes. After the light completely cleared up, she turned to me and tilted her head.

[……Kaito…… You called?]

[Ah, n- no…… I didn't say anything.]

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……The real question is, how much difference is there between the current Iris and Isis?]

? ? ? : [Let's see. Well, if Iris' current combat power is 1, then Isis' would have around a billion or a trillion.]

Serious-senpai : [……The power balance is too one-sided.]
