370-Episode 370: Beat the Nightmare




 I've fought off Suz and Iris, Kamui's full strength.
 I thought that this would be........

''Huh?''

 The jet-black doll had most of its upper body melted away.
 However, the lower half of the body rose and swelled unnaturally...
 Not long after, the top half of his body regenerates.

'Oh, gross...'

 Kanade was pulling back a bit.

''We are still in Alpha-san's dream. And the other party is the demon race that Alpha-san was based on. Then.........
Are you free to rebuild from a state of certain death? So everything is possible...?
You're right, Miss Lane.
Hey, that's not fair! How do you expect me to beat that guy?

 Tania pulled a face.
 Then she looks at me.
 Everyone else looks at me, too.

 As the leader of the party, I have to live up to everyone's expectations.

".........

 Think about it for a minute.

Okay, let's do it!

 I've come up with a plan.
 Seeing me like that, Iris is surprised.

'What? You've already come up with one?
Monica must be interfering in some way to manipulate Mr. Alpha. I'm going to blow the core of it.
Do you have any idea what that core might look like, Lady Rayne?
No, I have no idea. So I'm going to blow up all those jet-black dolls without leaving a single piece of them.
....
What's going on, Iris?
''No........it's too bold a strategy, but it's certainly the best one under the current circumstances. It's a good idea to come up with such a strategy in a flash. Is that ability to think like that part of your power of thinking?

 Iris gave him such a dexterous, impressed look that he was dumbfounded and impressed.

'I'll take care of it all at once. Everyone do as I tell you. When Iris gives the signal, do your best to ask for it. Oh, and don't cause any damage to the tower or the city. I'll toss you into the air.
I understand.

 I didn't ask for the details of the operation, and even though it was supposed to be a reckless request, I agreed in two words.
 Maybe, but.....
 I think Iris trusts me.
 That's why he has such an attitude.

 I'm very happy about that...
 I steeled myself to not disappoint him.

'Multi-boost!'

 First, I used magic to increase everyone's physical abilities.
 Then I'll give you instructions.

"Everyone move in a circle around him! Sola and Luna by magic. Nina acts in one set with Tina and moves in transition. Don't get any closer than a certain distance, invite them to attack!
La nyah!

 Everyone ran with Kanade in the lead.
 They ran around the jet-black doll as I instructed.

 Although attacks would occasionally fly in, Kanade and the others would easily avoid them.
 Their original physical abilities were high....
 Plus, he's now in a state of magic-enhanced ability.
 Even if it's a jet-black puppet attack, it's not that difficult to avoid it.

''A light attack, as if to provoke it!
Okay!

 Immediately, Tania shot out a fireball.
 Everyone else also fired a series of attacks at the level of intermediate magic.

''........!

 The jet-black doll howled in annoyance.
 Still, everyone still didn't stop attacking.
 As I instructed, they hit a series of light attacks.

 Right now, I'm like a commander.
 I keep track of everyone's movements and tell them what to do next.
 This is also probably one of the Beast Tamer's ways of fighting.

''Now! Sola and Luna, Nina and Tina, attack the blind! The rest of you, get in his bosom and launch him into the sky!
"Hmph, this time I'll show you my greatest strength...
"Flash Impact!
'You can't help but deprive me of my cue, sister! Yeah, flush impact!
...Jampu.
My spinning ball!

 The four of them exploded their attacks and the jet-black doll was on its back.
 I could just blind them, but it seemed to be too powerful.
 I was able to block my opponent's movements, so, well, let's call it a happy miscalculation.

'With me!'
With me!
Mine!
""Combination!"

 Kanade, Tania and Rifa dive into the bosom of the jet-black doll and release their fists in unison.
 They continue to connect with a kicking attack, and finally, a spinning kick.

''........!

 The jet black doll was blown into the air by the overwhelmingly powerful attack.
 Now, no matter how high-powered the attack was, no matter how many high-powered attacks it hit, there would be no damage to the surroundings.

''Irisssss! I mean...what?
Phew, I've been waiting for you. I'm ready for you.

 Iris's long hair was fluffy and swaying as if she were in a weightless state.
 Not only that, but it had a pale glow to it.
 In addition, it had nearly doubled in length and stretched down to her feet.

 And most of all, the wings on its back.
 The eight bird-like wings had disappeared, and instead revealed huge butterfly-like wings woven with light.
 Its size must have been about three meters long?
 It's bigger than his own body.

That figure...?
''Oh. Rain-sama has never heard of The Awakening?
'What? Iris is able to move into an 'awakened' state on her own! I mean, that's not how you're supposed to look!
"I'll explain in detail later but this is my 'awakening'. In this state, I can truly unleash the most powerful blow of all.

 Iris stared at the jet-black doll floating in the air.

Now, let's finish that white shot of demise!

 The world was engulfed in light.
 Goooooooooo! And the atmosphere could be heard raging and raging.
 At the same time, a shockwave was scattered throughout the area.
 Its power is considerable, and if you don't fluff it up, you're likely to roll over.

".........is it over?

 Somewhat later, I opened my eyes and saw a clear sky.
 There was no jet black doll anywhere.

'Ah.'

 Out of nowhere, a faint light gathered and it took the form of a person.
 Soon after, the light became Mr. Alpha.

''Hmph, it seems to have worked. That was a fine command, Lady Rain.''

 Iris was back to normal before I knew it.
 Call me brilliant in my command, but....
 At the end of the day, it seems like Iris has swept everything away.

 I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not....
 I don't know how I managed to beat Iris, I thought sincerely.
