740-King's power ⑥






 Iris, who had fully recovered both her strength and magic, was confronting Isis, who was floating a short distance away with an apocalypse in her hand.
 There were no words between the two, and a little while later, Alice, who was in the distance, sent a circle and a signal over her head with both hands. It was a signal that the spatial isolation ward to protect the surroundings was completed, and at the same time, it also meant that Isis was ready to fight with all her might.

''--Gah!

 Instantly, Iris experienced a tremendous pressure as if her entire body was being tightened in a vise. When he moved his gaze forward in astonishment, he saw Isis quietly shifting into a war zone.

(.........I see, this is the magic power of death. A fundamental fear, or if it wasn't for this body, it would have been settled before the fight. If I had received this after the battle began, I would have definitely gone rigid. If so, it was fortunate that I was able to experience the intimidation of death's magic power here.......but even so.......what a tremendous)

 The magic that overflows from his body changes from a pale color to jet black, and at the same time, the atmosphere that Isis wears becomes sharp and cold. It is indeed the king who controls death, the absolute strongman.
 The earth trembles as if it fears the king, and the atmosphere retreats to make room for him.

'Then the mock battle--start!

 
 Iris immediately took that intention and made her hands touch the ground as if to slap it down.

(Breaking the bond of magic and returning it to magical power. At first glance, it sounds like an invincible power, but it doesn't automatically nullify it. There is always a process of recognition and execution in between. (If that's the case, there's a good chance it will pass if you attack with a speed that exceeds Isis-dono's recognition and an amount that can't keep up with the disarming!

 A huge magic circle appears around Iris, a magic circle that crosses 10, then 100, then reaches 1000. Referring to the simultaneous activation of Isis's magic that I saw earlier, I execute the soles until my brain is on the verge of being burned out.

''...Calamity Doombringer!

 It can no longer be described as a sword. The number of black swords densely packed together without gaps exceeds a billion, and there is no room for even a single rat to pass through. It is a black wall made of swords.
 Even so, Iris understood that against Isis, this magic would be cancelled in less than 10 seconds. That's why he prepared his next blow........

''.........Die.
Huh?

 However, he hadn't expected that the magic sword, which was over a billion dollars, would all disappear with a single word from the king. In front of Isis, who was serious, even the magic barrage could no longer buy him even a second of time.
 It was unexpected. But the opponent was the Sixth King...........The unexpected could be expected. That's why Iris poured an enormous amount of magic power into Apocalypse.
 Alice said that Isis would 'almost' nullify all magic. I didn't say all of it. Disabling ... there must be some things that can't be undone.
 And Iris had expected it to be an ultra-dense, overwhelming amount of magic, a blow with an overwhelming amount of magical power. Hence, he entrusted it to this magic he had just learned.

''Swallow it up! The Beast of Tyranny--Giga Apocalypse!

 Let's conclude. Iris's idea is the correct answer. There is a limit to the amount of magic power that can be instantly disarmed by Isis, and it may not be possible to disarm it in time against a blow with too much output.
 ........The magic density of the Giga Apocalypse, which shot out with hundreds of times the magic power it poured out, exceeds the disarming speed of Isis.
 But that doesn't equal - it doesn't mean that the attack can reach Isis.

''........Cocytos Infinity.

 And then - 'The world froze.
 The earth that was shaking, the air that was trembling, the jet-black magic bombardment that was being released, all of it froze and stopped moving, and silence ruled the space.
 Only Iris's body may have been removed on purpose, but the surroundings and the apocalypse have been frozen. No, that's not all.

(.........what? What happened? (I can't move, no, I can't move, no body, no magic, not even my breath....

 Iris' own body shouldn't be frozen, but she can't move. It's as if even the space needed to move has been frozen........

''.........this place.......my area.......everything......is frozen. There will be no magic no space no space no time no time... and the ice will break. ........all to zero.......cocytos......zero.
Geez, gahhhh!

 As soon as Isis' words ended, both the frozen earth and the magic artillery bombardment shattered into pieces, and only ice crystals danced in space.

''That's an amazing wand.......that even my Cocytus Zero can't shatter it.''
'....Huh.....................

 Apocalypse is a heart tool, and it will never be broken unless Iris' heart is shattered. But it is not an invincible shield.
 Apocalypse is the very heart of Iris, and its powerful attacks are psychological damages that attack her. Unable to resist, Iris thrusts both knees and exhales wildly white breaths............The outcome was now clear to everyone.

''........still.......continue?''
Well that's enough. I thought you couldn't win but to make just two moves, no, one real blow is a very big world indeed.
"...Iris can be more ... strong ... now ... I'm just a little bit more. ...he was strong... but what happens next... is not for anyone to know. ...I don't know.
And what makes you think that I could be the next in line to win?
''I don't know ... but ... unless you give up ... there's no chance of that happening. I don't think there's... any... possibility of... relating to anyone... if we give up. ...I ...never met Kite.
....

 I was in a difficult and painful situation, there were many times when I almost gave up. But I never gave up completely until the end. After looking at Isis, who tells her with a smile that she was able to meet a pleasant person because of that, Iris closes her eyes and thinks for a while.
 Then, after a bit of silence, she opened her eyes, smiled and told him.

''........From me, please. ''Isis-sama,'' would you please make me under your command?
Are you sure it's me?
I want you. You certainly have the makings of a king.
...the vessel of a king?
Yes, my dear, now that I want to serve you, I believe that the charm that attracts others to my service is the vessel of a king that I lack. When I saw your vessel, Lady Isis, I knew I had the right person to entrust my fangs to. I think that's enough for me.

 Iris Irminus she is not a person without courtesy. Rather, she also knows how to be polite, and speaks to the person she should be using with a tone of voice that is appropriate for soles.
 The fact that she calls Isis by her surname and speaks in a respectful manner was the best proof that Iris recognized Isis as her master.

''Yes ... yes ... thank you ... from now on ... ...Nice to meet you... Iris.
Yes, Mr. Isis.

 
 It. It was a new beginning for the "Black Violent Star" Iris Illuminus, who would later lead the "Mutsuraboshi", the leader of the Dead King's subordinate and executive, and who would be called the confidant of the Dead King, Isis Remnant.
