Chapter 105 – Felgion (5)
‘… Ah.’
Where are you?
I was definitely fighting the black dragon.
In a world where there is nothing, Iris thought.
A realm of martial arts that only the blessed can reach.
It’s a fleeting moment.
A mental world that is separated from the time of reality.
Iris instinctively swung her sword.
Seven Swords of the Arcadia Empire.
The first sword (第一劍) Cloud Slash.
A sword that cuts from top to bottom.
Chew!
It is a ‘cloud slash’ that must have been swung hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of times. Even so, Iris felt a subtle sense of incongruity.
I don’t think this is it.
A little more.
Something tickling.
Feeling cramped, as if somewhere was blocked, Iris’s sword attack continued.
Seven Swords of the Arcadia Empire.
The second sword (第 二劍) splits the surface of the water.
Cut
Cut, stab
In all the processes she had casually swung until now, Iris felt a slight sense of incongruity.
I’m frustrated because I don’t know what it is.
Again and again
The third sword (第三劍) draw the ground.
The realm of the fourth sword.
Swordsmanship only for masters.
Since all swordsmen in the imperial family became masters, it was a sword without consideration for those who did not become masters.
Although Iris proved her genius in being able to wield the fourth sword, which was only allowed to the realm of a bond master.
Iris was not satisfied.
Again and again
No matter how many times he swung his sword, the slight discomfort did not go away.
Rather, she was disappointed in herself that she had wielded a sword like this until now.
Do a little more.
A little bit.
It was then.
“… !”
Falling into her trance, Iris, who was searching for the path she had to take, was forced out of the realm of nothingness by her magical powers that shook her whole body.
She didn’t even have time to think that a little more was all she needed.
When she came to her senses, what she saw was the figure of a black dragon dripping miasma from her whole body.
Iris bit her lower lip at the sight of Pelgrion radiating enormous power from her whole body.
“This——a fucking bitch———!!”
Kwaaa-!
Even a mere roar contained enough power to make the whole body tingle.
Until recently, it was a black dragon that was on par with Iris, who used up all the power that Scarlett and Luna gave her and had nothing special to do except back up the holy sword.
But now, he was emitting an enormous amount of power comparable to when he first appeared in front of them.
“To the four bitches, my sad news… !!”
However, Pelgrion also suffered significant bleeding.
I wouldn’t know if it was the ancestor from before, no matter how much I was chosen by the goddess, I hadn’t even thought of borrowing the power of the ‘Twisted Hourglass’ from a fledgling who hadn’t even fully bloomed yet.
“I will kill you!”
Bang!!
Overwhelming violence.
The blow was so fast that Iris couldn’t follow it with her eyes, and her delicate body bounced off as if it were about to crumble.
“Ugh… !”
A moan escaped Iris’ mouth. Her arms creaked in her pang. The light of her holy sword and the blessing of her goddess healed the warrior’s body, but did not make her forget her pain.
Before she was a warrior, she was a princess born and raised in the imperial palace.
She is responsible, sincere, affable and benevolent.
So, to her, her pain was truly foreign to her. Never before in her life had she been exposed to such overwhelming violence that she felt the pain that made her whole body crumble at once.
Iris was suddenly frightened.
She’s sick of just having her arms broken and cracks all over her body.
If she continued to fight, this wound would surely hurt enough to be seen as ‘something like that’.
…
He bit her lower lip.
Before Iris could straighten her stance, Pelgrion’s heavy tail swung over her.
Dig-!!
In her moment, her holy sword radiated from her, encircling her barrier to protect her.
Quaang!
Bang!
Her tail thumped her barrier in succession. Iris tightly closed her eyes at the sight of the barrier shaking uneasy as if it would break easily.
Bang!
Quaang!
Kwaaang… !
…
No matter how many times, over and over again, the roaring sound echoed, but the barrier did not break. As her puzzled iris raised her head, she saw her familiar gray spirit moving her massive body.
Obsidian.
A top-notch spirit that handles barriers and barriers contracted by Luna Taylor.
He was receiving all of Felgion’s blows.
Luna, the contractor, had used up almost all of her powers, so even though Obsidian and Luna must have been overworked, she remained silent.
For a moment, Iris’ eyes trembled.
I was complacent.
She thought she could, so she followed. She looks like she can get over a wall, so she stepped out.
Still, it’s like this. Only nuisance
If this happens, everyone will die, not just her. What will happen to the continent if she, who has been given the mission to kill the demon king, and Scarlett and Luna, the demon king’s nemesis, die here.
Iris’s shoulders trembled as the thought reached that point belatedly.
Thought was brief. Because you’re a hero, you’re going to save the world. It could be done, she believed.
Can it be broken?
Would you have gone out even if it was broken?
No. Then it didn’t work. Iris shouldn’t have been broken. She was a warrior
Being broken was like the end of the continent.
Iris’s eyes, she found two people she would have trusted and entrusted to her.
I’m really, really sorry…
Iris found the two of them. The two, who had escaped from the black dragon’s menace, were barely recovering from exhaustion.
She couldn’t look up at her guilt. When I saw the two of them, I felt so guilty.
Scarlett raised her head just in time. Iris, who was staring at the two with trembling eyes, met his eyes.
“… !”
In an instant, Iris’ eyes widened as she didn’t know what to do.
You can do it.
The way she smiles and opens her mouth.
Even if everyone was going to die, Scarlett decided to trust Iris.
Using all of her powers, her Obsidian watched her helplessly in a situation where her body was used to take it away.
…
Why?
Why me
Rather than me, aren’t you more worthy of a hero? But why did Goddess choose me?
Weird.
It’s strange.
Gritted it Her hand that held her holy sword tightened. The Holy Sword, which still scattered light without knowing how to turn off, trembled.
“Stupid, brother… !”
Why did Goddess choose me?
Her brother would have been much better than herself who was shaking as if she was about to break in this crisis.
A warrior must not be broken.
Why did the Goddess support me when I said that I would have fought even if I was broken?
“Because.”
The goddess who had been silent all along whispered.
It was a friendly voice.
“It’s because the hero is not alone.”
Like the daytime sun that lights up the whole world.
The goddess’s voice warmly touched Iris’ heart.
“When you shake like you’re about to break, there will always be me and Scarlett.”
If we are, I believe that you can always stand up again.
So you are my warrior, the goddess of the sun, Mithra.
Iris.
Grab your sword.
“The evil in front of you will become your first legend as a hero.”
Go
Iris’s mouth was tightly shut.
The holy sword trembled like crazy.
Like when Scarlett and Luna gave her strength together, there was no power overflowing throughout her body.
Instead, the light of the Holy Sword was more brilliant than ever.
Ah.
That moment.
Once again, Iris stood in the realm of nothingness.
‘It’s now.’
She swings her sword again.
The first sword (第一劍), Cloud Slash.
Lower the sword slowly She draws a sword in the air with her own sword.
She raised her sword again.
This time she saw a different path than before.
Slowly, she moved her sword along the path.
The second double sword, splitting the water surface.
It flowed naturally like water.
Before she felt a slight discomfort, a new sword path was drawn in front of her eyes.
The sword moved.
Even as she wielded her sword, she didn’t even know how her own body moved. She just drew a sword along the way.
After that, I remembered how she moved, as if it were imprinted on my soul.
The third sword (第三劍), cutting the ground.
Followed naturally.
I felt like I knew now what the road was drawn in front of my eyes.
This is the ideal sword path.
A sword for those who have reached the level of a master, and the one she now wields is the ideal form.
The fourth sword, the realm of swords.
Finally, the fourth sword that ended up being clumsy.
Iris could tell.
This next.
Even after this, the hand will reach.
Seven Swords of the Arcadia Empire.
Oh.
The 5th sword (第 五劍) tore the spirit vein.
Reached
In the realm beyond the fourth sword, only allowed to Master.
That she had truly crossed the wall.
Iris suddenly realized.
Conditions to cross the wall.
The words that Scarlett once said.
An existence that goes beyond one’s own limits and interferes not only with oneself but also with others, and even more, with the world.
To do so, only those who need to be able to contemplate themselves perfectly can become masters.
“Ah.”
Oneself who trembled in fear in front of overwhelming violence.
It always grows like a flower in a greenhouse, a shabby and miserable figure that gave up instead of resisting true malice and violence that it encountered for the first time.
Why did my brother laugh at the behavior that I dare not call a hero?
“To make you realize.”
Just to get her to fully accept herself.
Contemplate yourself
Even though I was disappointed in myself for being weak and helpless.
Even so.
Step on and stand up Just like Mitra, Scarlett, and everyone else believed.
Only then did Iris know how her own body should move, as if she could see her answer.
The detailed muscles of the whole body, the flow of mana, the wind, the atmosphere, and all variables were captured with both eyes.
What is Master?
Those who have crossed the wall and come one step closer to transcendent existence.
Iris finally crossed the wall.
“Because it’s a ‘hero’.”
I still had no strength in my body. The black dragon in front of me was afraid.
Even so.
Somehow, it didn’t seem like it was going to happen this way.
“See.”
Where will the Black Dragon’s attack come from? Where and how his overflowing power, his miasma, and his sparks move.
It was visible to both eyes.
I couldn’t even follow her with my eyes.
Now it is clearly visible
“That’s enough.”
If so, I won’t support it.
