37 37. Battle of Illis (1/2)

The swords of Iris and Adil crossed. The impact of the collision causes a rumbling sound to emanate from the surroundings.

Adil pours his magic power into the great sword and slams it down like a mass.

On the other hand, what Iris is wearing is magic power converted into lightning. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to say.

Adil's expression clouded slightly.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

Aah!

He kicked the ground and tried to push Adil away.

But Adil puts his foot down and holds back. Adil has the advantage in a simple push.

”Iris, I got it.

I'll take care of it.

The two are at odds. A black hole appears at Adil's feet.

Adil tries to move backwards.

Iris doesn't let him get away with it. The two of them are fighting it out.

”Huh--

One breath. In the meantime, Iris' sword strikes again and again.

Adil minimizes the movement of his blade to block them. The moment you finish a series of blows - that's when you counter.

”...... ha!

Iris lets out a big breath. The barrage was broken.

Adil takes a step forward to go on the offensive. It was Aria's job to fill the small gap.

She rushes out from behind Iris and unleashes a sword attack on Adil. Two daggers are used in a high-speed sword fight.

What Aria is aiming for is not a fatal wound - even if it is not fatal, the damage will leave an opening for Adil.

Iris took that opportunity to catch her breath and start moving. At that moment.

”Haaaaah!

!

With a yell, Adil swung his sword wide.

Aria falls backward.

The ground around Adil cracks and the atmosphere trembles.

The ground around Adil cracks and the air shakes.

The minute is long gone.

”...... Well, they make a good pair. You're both strong.

I'll take that as a yes.

Yeah, do that. I miss the way you wear your thunder. It's like looking at your father.

The purple lightning comes from the ore produced inside the Violet Dragon used as its material.

It is said that the material that is tinged with lightning alone is so strong that even touching it causes numbness, and only those who can withstand the lightning can handle it.

Even those who are good at lightning magic find it difficult to handle. But Iris had mastered it.

The electric current that flows through the body also strengthens one's own physical abilities.

Now, Iris was able to exert more than double her normal strength.

He held up his sword and asked Adil.

”...... Did you kill my father because he asked you to?

No, at the time I was genuinely curious about the abilities of the man called ...... the most powerful man in the kingdom. I thought maybe that's where I'd find what I'm looking for. ......

No, thank you. I'm sure you'll be happy to know that defeating you will put an end to all of this for me.

As long as no one asked my father to assassinate me, that's fine. For Iris, defeating Adil would be avenging her father.

Iris and Aria stand side by side, weapons at the ready.

The two of them had the upper hand at the moment. Adil's greatsword was powerful enough to shatter the ground - it was a threat, but not one that Iris could not defend against.

The sword strike was not fast, and Iris and Aria's level was enough to avoid it. As long as it stays like this.

...... I must admit, I underestimated them a bit. It was Alta Schweizer who defeated Azuma and Fault. Or should I say, exceeded my expectations.

”...... Expectations, huh. As I said before, I'm not fighting to entertain you - I'll decide next time, Aria.

”Yes, I will.

Aria replies to Iris' words.

The two were about to make their move again.

”If you're going to ......, you're going to have to endure one minute.

”Ah!

The ground in Adil's vicinity cracked. Adil's whole body erupted with magic power, and the momentum shattered the ground.

It was as if a typhoon was approaching, and a roaring sound echoed throughout.

”Let's go!

The next moment, Adil began to move with the earth shaking. The sound was caused by the impact of kicking the ground.

When I came to my senses, I saw Adil in front of me.

(The magic power from the sword is also ......!)

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

”Aria!　Behind you!

Iris raised her voice.

He signaled for her to move backwards.

You'll be able to find a lot more than just a few of them.

”......!
