110 110. Heart of Vengeance (2/2)

It slightly slowed Zenas down.

”......

”Huh--

A horizontal flash. I'm not sure what to do.

Zenas blocked it just in time, but Iris didn't stop moving.

It's not that I don't like it. Each blow is heavy, forcing Zenas backwards.

In the space of a single breath, she unleashes more than ten blows. Still, Iris' offensive continues.

”Oh, come on, ......!

Zenas regains his stance and flicks away Iris's purple light.

The sound of metal clashing echoes through the air.

Zenas then swings his sword at Iris, aiming for her neck.

Iris bends slightly and narrowly dodges Zenas' blade.

The spattered blood coagulates and pours onto Iris in the form of a blade - but she is not intimidated.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

”...... ugh!

Zenas's eyes widen.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have.

The moment he does, he sees Rui No, who bashes Zenas' head off.

He ran underneath Iris with his momentum, and their blades met.

”You ......!

You !” ”Hee hee, that's not enough to kill him. If you want to be sure, you'll have to take its head off.

I didn't mean to kill you, .......

”That” again?　You're really going to fight me, aren't you?　You were definitely trying to kill me with that attack!

”Yeah. At least fighting with you isn't so easy that I can't get lost.

”Okay, then. What you said earlier...

Not yet.

No!

Luino distances himself from Iris.

I'm not sure what to say.

This is a great way to get the most out of your business.

This is the first time I've seen someone so persistent.

Luino looks at Zenas with a look of disgust.

It's a bizarre sight -- Zenas is still alive, despite the fact that his head and torso have been separated.

It's an obsession. That's how much resentment he has for Luino.

What the hell did you do?

”Hmm, nothing.　I heard he had a friend who was a swordsman, and I killed him.

...... So. Then it's no wonder he hates me like that.

”Hee hee, if you're going to hold a grudge because someone you care about was killed, don't you think you should ...... have no one to care about?　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... Can I get rid of that monster for now?　I'll get rid of you after that.

Okay. I don't want to see any more ...... people trying to fight me like that.

Iris looks at Zenas with a sad expression.

If Iris had decided to wield the sword for revenge, perhaps she would have done the same. That's what I felt in my heart.

Iris and Rui No each took a stance.

They faced the bloodied Zenas, and they ran.
