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.

"......!

　But it cannot be prevented.
　She is sent flying backwards with her body.
　And Adil moves in to follow.

"You didn't last ten seconds.
"I won't let you.

　Aria stepped in between Iris and Adil. You can't prevent Adil's attack with a dagger - Aria knows that.
　She bends low, and then, like Adil, spurts out her magic power and leaps forward with great force.
　Adil's greatsword and Aria's dagger overlap. --At the same time, Adil's sword exploded.

"Aria!

　Aria's slender body is blown away.
　It's not just a simple outpouring of magic power -- Adil is also transforming the magic power to create an explosion.
　Aria was slammed straight into the wall with great force.

"Kah, that's .......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. But she won't be able to move for a while. It's finally one-on-one, the Princess of the Sword.

　Iris distanced herself from Adil.
　In addition to her overwhelming power, she can move faster than Iris.
　But it's definitely not the type of fight that can go on for a long time. If he is constantly consuming magic power, then Iris still has a chance to win.

(...... now I'm going to focus on evasion and defense and aim for a definite blow--)

　When I was convinced that I could do it, that's when I saw it out of the corner of my eye.
　You'll be able to see the frightened girl hiding behind a building in the corner of your eye.

(Why are you here? !).

　Iris finally realized.
　The scene of the battle with Adil was already far away from the operation area.
　(If you can't avoid it, then you can't avoid it.

(If you can't avoid it, then you have to take it. ......!)

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have.
　The purple glow grows stronger, and the sound is deafening.
　Adil's sword accelerates as it explodes - the lightning and explosion collide, creating a huge blast.
　Adil is flung backwards and looks at Iris.

I'm not sure how anyone could take that seriously.
I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
　You can find a lot of people who are interested in this kind of thing. A large burn mark was visible on his right hand.
　Iris kneels down on the spot.

"...... You and your son did the same thing. How dare you protect your child?

　Adil also noticed the girl behind Iris.
　The frightened girl is just trembling on the spot. It seems that she can't even run away.
　In front of the girl, Iris stands up again with a smile on her face.

What are you laughing at?
...... No, because if I did what my father did, I did nothing wrong.
"Nonsense. That naivety in battle can be fatal. ...... But you don't have to understand. Because this is where you will die.
".......

　Adil's words were not answered by Iris.
　It's a good idea to have a knight to protect you.

(...... You're still not trained enough to see what's going on around you. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.)

　In the event you are not able to catch your breath, you can hold your sword.
　She forced her body to move so that the girl behind her would not be targeted.

"Come on ......!
I'll give you credit for having the mental fortitude to say that. I'll finish you off next time.

　Adil rushes forward. He drew his greatsword and closed in on Iris.
　You can't stop me again. Iris knows that.
　But all Iris could do was grab her sword and fight.
　Adil's sword swung down, but it did not hit Iris. Adil's sword swings down, but it doesn't hit Iris. The sword goes sideways and gouges the ground, causing an explosion.
　Iris lost her balance and almost fell, but there was someone to support her.
　The next three blows - the "Wind Blade" was fired at Adil.
　Adil leaps backwards.


　Adil's sword was flicked by the boy's unleashed sword strike.

"Dr. Schweizer, ......?
"Sorry, I'm late.

　The boy--Alta Schweizer--answers.
　It was the first time I felt such a sense of relief.

If you're here, that means ...... Fiss is dead.
"Yes, you are the last.

　Alta holds up his sword.
　The youngest knight and the last of the Swordsmen faced each other.
