Ten minutes from the start of the battle between Iris, the pleasant man's deputy, and Agni, the first of the five War King generals.......the battle was currently stiffening.
　In terms of simple abilities, Iris, who had almost the same power as the Phantom King, was considerably and significantly superior. Normally, the battle would not be prolonged. That said, if Alice's main body had been fighting, Agni's consciousness would have sunk into darkness in a few seconds.

　However, in reality, the battle between Iris and Agni is stiffening. The main reason for this is that Iris is not in control of her own body.
　To begin with, before he died, Iris was one of the best in the world he was in, but he was only strong in the category of a 'human'.
　It's different from Alice, who has spent tens of thousands of years and has completely mastered her monstrous physical abilities.

　I'm sure you'll find that when you wake up, your body is much stronger than it used to be.
　It's also a blank for tens of thousands of years, so it's like a novice was suddenly put on a monster machine.

　Therefore, the current Iris can't move.......because she can't fully control her own body, she can barely fight as a fixed turret, which she was good at before she was born.
　Even so, if it was against an ordinary user, the match would have been won instantly. However, Agni is also one of the world's top-ranked, if not the Sixth King, and has a vast amount of combat experience. She also knew how to fight with a higher rank.

　
　 It's a fixed rule to keep deploying them to consume magic power, and Agni had enough power to do it.

　Of course, even Iris wasn't being attacked silently.
　A jet-black magic sphere flies from the heavens to crush the arena, but Agni concentrates his magic power to the extreme in his fist and avoids it by punching out part of the magic sphere.

　Since Iris can't use unleashed magic, Agni has more than enough time to knead her magic power, and thanks to that, she was able to continue to handle Iris' attacks up to this point.

(.........Great. What a refined warrior. If it had been me in my lifetime, I would have been killed in the blink of an eye)

　Gazing at Agni's lean fighting style, Iris admired his skills in her mind.
　And at the same time, a faint smile began to appear on Iris' mouth.

'You said Agni?　A well-developed body and the skill to fully exploit its strengths ... let me give you unreserved praise.
"...thank you for that. You have so much power and yet you don't seem to be used to fighting?
Yeah, I'm sorry but I've been out of practice for an awfully long time. I can't move my body as much as I'd like.
'To challenge me in such a state is a licking.

　Agni is not an opponent who can be pushed around by the difference in physical ability alone. After nodding at Agni's words, Iris lightly pulls her chin back and lowers her head.

''I have no words to refute.
Did you mishear me?　It sounded like you were holding back until now, didn't it?
'....Yeah, that's what he says. And now they're going to let me go for real!
Huh?

　A ferocious smile appeared on Iris' mouth, and immediately afterwards, black magic power began to circle her body like a whirlpool.

''Awake, the tyrannical beast that sleeps in my heart--black claws split the earth and black fangs devour the heavens--you are the predator, the beast of the end that destroys heaven and earth--''
Chanting?　No, what's this....

　A voice emanated from Iris's mouth that seemed to echo in space, and in response, her magic power blew like a storm, gradually converging to a point.

''-- The fangs of my heart are here!　--Come forth!　The magic wand!　-- 'Apocalypse'!

　Along with the strongly uttered words, the black magic power creates a definite shape.
　It was a huge staff that was more than twice Iris's height........The black and disastrous shape looked like a sharp fang.

''Magic to create armor?　But this tremendous magical power...

　Looking at the staff that was covered in dense magical power to the point of overflowing, Agni muttered in astonishment. Her body, which has a vast amount of combat experience, is telling her fiercely that this thing is dangerous.

''Well, now that I've put this out, I can't add or subtract and I'll show you how to survive to the death!
Guh!
'The bells of twilight ring, the song of perdition is heard, the beast of demise roars.'

　The ability of Iris' mind tool Apocalypse is very simple. Apocalypse explodes the magic power it pours out. The biggest and strongest attack that this staff can unleash, the extreme magical power bombardment that bears its name, is a tyrannical strike that swallows everything and blots out.

''Swallow, tyrannical beast!　--Apocalypse!

　A black flash of light shot out from the huge staff that was held up, filling the field of view.
　Seeing the approaching attack, Agni opened her eyes wide and became rigid.

(What.........what.......is this unorthodox magic density......preventing?　It's impossible. I can't even put up the slightest resistance and get obliterated. ........evasion.......no. (I can't move my body because of this magic........death.......)

　In the face of the approaching extreme magical bombardment, Agni was convinced of death, but.......it was not to be.
　Alice, who suddenly appeared in front of Agni, received the approaching magic power bombardment and 'bounced it into the sky'.......

　After confirming that the blow that had completely scraped the ground of the arena had subsided, Alice shouted to Iris.

''What are you doing, idiot Iris!　With the magic power we have now, if we shot that, it would 'erase it to the horizon'!
I'm sorry. I didn't expect it to be this powerful...

　Hearing Alice's words, Iris bowed her head with an honest apology.
　Even for her, she didn't expect it to be so powerful, and she thought she had killed Igni the moment she shot it, so she didn't have any words to refute it.
　Well, part of the cause is also Alice who prepared a vessel with uncommon magic power........

Huh, well Mr. Agni. Are you okay?
'Phantom King.......yes, thank you very much.
''No, I'm really sorry. That poor fortress of tits has always been uncontrollable when the fight gets fun....

　After calling out to Agni, who is still stunned, and Alice apologizes, Iris also approaches Agni and bows her head.

''I'm sorry. I almost killed you I apologize from the bottom of my heart.''
''Well no, no apology is necessary. Even if I had been killed by that blow, it would have been only because I was inexperienced. It's not your fault. Rather, I would like to thank you for doing your best to set it up.
...gratitude?
'Oh, I've come to realize that I'm still inexperienced. I didn't mean to increase, but I was somewhat conceited. I didn't know that there were so many other strong people besides the Sixth King Master.......hmmm, my blood boils. After the Sixth King Festival is over, we'll start training from scratch.''
Yeah, well...

　Agni is also under the Warlord's command, and fighting the strong is supreme, just as Megiddo is. With a burning fire in his eyes, Agni holds out his hand for a handshake.

'Iris, my heartfelt thanks for the wonderful battle you have won this time. But I will train myself again and one day I will definitely challenge you. And when that happens, I hope you'll give me your all!
Mm-hm ... I know the drill.
'Thank you!　Today is a good day!　To be able to meet strong people like this is a blessing beyond anything else!

　Iris nods and shakes hands with Agni, who even feels hot and bothered, slightly confused.

(Hey, Arissi.......Alice!　(Is this the way it's supposed to be under the Warlord's control?!
That's why my Pandora doesn't like the Warlord's men. She doesn't like hot and stuffy things...

　Thus, the match between Iris and Agni ended with a victory for Iris.
　However, this ignited the fighting spirit in Agni, and she will be challenging him quite often in the future... but that's still a long way off.
