Chapter 737: The Power of a King ③ (2/2)

At an incomprehensible speed that even my glasses, which should be able to see up to 10 times the speed of light, would lose sight of her, Isis-san weaved her way through the large amount of swords.

On the contrary, she even has the composure to look at us on the way and give us a wave…… Even if you look cute, Isis-san, you shouldn't do that in the middle of a battle.

[A- Alice…… Has Isis-san always been that fast?]

[Eh? No, she still ”didn't get serious” at all though….. That's just on the level of a light jog for her. She isn't even using Instantaneous Movement or Time Manipulation. Well, I am using some Anti-Techniques to prevent the world from being destroyed by the impact of her movements……]

[……Iris-san's basic specs are about the same as the Six Kings, right? Then, can Iris-san also be as fast as that?]

[Rather, if she can completely use your body, Iris-san should be faster than Isis-san. Her body is based on mine, and among the Six Kings, my speed is only second to Kuro-san. Well, to put it simply, the current Iris still has too many wasted movements.]

To be honest, I might have underestimated the Six Kings. No, I knew that they were outrageously strong people…… but it seems like their strength is still on another level.

Just like that, Isis-san continued to evade Iris-san's attacks for about ten minutes, and Alice opened her mouth when Iris's breathing became heavier.

[Yes, let's stop here again…… Now, let's change the offense and defense. Isis-san will now attack, while Iris will defend. Isis-san, please start with physical attacks.]

[……Unnn? No matter how I look at it, Isis-dono doesn't seem to be proficient at physical attacks……]

[……Unnn…… I'm bad at it…… but…… I'll do my best.]

Hmmm, I wonder what this feeling is…… Isis-san certainly seems to be the mage-type, but from what I've seen so far, it doesn't feel like being a mage simply makes her bad at melee combat.

With that thought in mind, Iris-san deployed a cylindrical barrier thick enough that it could be seen.

That's the terrific protective barrier that completely blocked Agni-san's attack. It looked very tough.

The next moment, Isis-san soundlessly moved in front of Iris-san and swung her fist. It was a random punch that even an amateur like me knows that it was a punch of someone unaccustomed to fighting…… but Iris-san jumped away, leaving behind her barrier in place with a flustered look on her face.

Then, when Isis-san's fist touched the barrier…… It pierced through it ”like paper” and created a ”huge crater” in the ground.

[……Wha!?]

[……Oiiiiiiii, Iris. Stop getting distracted. That won't do, if you let your guard down even a little bit…… Isis-san certainly is better than magic combat than physical combat. But Iris, remember Agni-san, the person you fought before? The person you're facing now is strong enough to ”beat Agni-san to death with her bare hands”.]

[W- W- Wha…… What the heck is that!? This is beyond nonsense! Rather, isn't there too much of a difference in combat power between the Count-ranks and Six Kings!?]

[That's why, until this very day, the only Duke-rank person in this world is Ein-san. The Six King-rank people, including Kuro-san, have a completely separate level of power that it's almost like they're…… well, we're a ”bug in this world”. I don't have any proof, but Alice-chan suspects that the God of this world has a hand on this matter. So, well———- Please do your best with the thought that you might die.]

The basic physical specs should be almost the same, but the difference in magnitude between their combat abilities was a sight to behold. I felt like there was a huge wall between them that wasn't easy to overcome.

This is Isis-san's power————- This is the power of a King.

<Afterword>

Serious-senpai : [……Isis is quite strong in all aspects, isn't she?]

? ? ? : [Please think about it. This person can score a tie with an ”undying indestructible God” who has ”unlimited physical and military strength”, right?]

Serious-senpai : [The Supreme Gods are also one heck of a monster.]

? ? ? : [If she gets serious, ”unless they hold the same authority, at a speed that can't be detected, God of Time and Space could unleash an unblockable Spatial Annihilation”. ”Within her domain that reaches the whole world, not only can God of Fate basically control everything that exists”, she can also ”alter the past” and ”bend the future as she wills”, so anything is possible for God of Fate.]

Serious-senpai : [……I'm glad that this isn't a shonen battle novel.]
