Chapter 737: The Power of a King ③ (1/2)
After hearing my reply, Isis-san nodded and turned her gaze towards Iris-san.
[……That's great magic…... Your magic technique is neat and tidy…… However…… I think that…… it's a little slow.]
[I'm not so conceited to think that that strike could defeat you…… but to receive it directly without even blocking it…… However, not yet! Come! Spear of Eternal Darkness, the Great Armada! Δαίμονας Λόγχη!]
(T/N: Demon's Lance)
After Iris-san, who couldn't even stain Isis-san's clothes from her special technique, made a vexed expression, she quickly switched minds, and summoned a large number of spears and launched them towards Isis-san.
The spears, which I estimate to be over a hundred in number, headed for Isis-san…… and before they could even touch her body, ”all of it vanished”.
[……What the.]
[They vanished?]
Seeing the huge number of spears disappear in an instant, Iris-san's eyes widened in astonishment, while I tilted my head, not understanding what just happened.
[If you only heard that she can't control her magic power of death, you might assume that Isis-san isn't very good at controlling her magic power…… but Isis-san's magic power control techniques are actually the best in the world. It's just that, even when she has that much control, her magic power of death is just too powerful to control. It's a piece of cake for her to ”interfere with external magic heading towards her and deactivate it”, and even ”revert that magic into its simple, harmless magic power form”.]
Hearing Alice's explanation, I became astonished. That means, Isis-san has just deactivated all of the more than 100 magic spears heading towards her at a considerable speed in an instant and reverted them to simple magic power…… That means……
[I guess Iris-san and Kaito-san have noticed huh? It basically means that Isis-san can ”nullify almost all magic attacks heading towards her”. If you don't use your head and just fire magic towards her, you won't even be able to make Isis-san defend herself.]
[……Good grief, it feels like my common sense has been completely overturned. They're outrageous beings huh…… The beings called Six Kings…… In that case, what about this!!!?]
As Iris-san shouted and put her hand on the ground, the ground moved like a wave and a huge earthen spear formed, shooting towards Isis-san.
I see, if Isis-san can nullify magic, that doesn't mean that the earth molded with magic will disappear. I thought this was a spectacular move, but right after that, Alice-san's voice echoed.
[Well, that's the attack that anyone would come up with huh. That's exactly why it holds no meaning though……]
After those words, the earthen spear slipped through Isis-san's body without any resistance.
[……A power similar to Spiritual Form? And thereby, all physical attacks are nullified huh? However…… that is……]
[Well, something like that. There are lots of opponents that can nullify both physical and magical attacks at peak Count-rank, so I'll be teaching you how to defeat them in the future. Well, with that out of the way, I guess it's about time we change the subject…… Isis-san.]
[……Unnn?]
[Next time, please avoid her attacks. No magic nullification, just evasion. Iris, you only need to hit her once, so try hitting Isis-san with an attack.]
[……I understand.]
I wonder how this would turn out? Personally, I can't imagine a very fast Isis-san. It may just be due to the fact that her means of combat was magic-oriented, but I feel that she would be the defensive type, blocking all enemy attacks with her magic barrier, than an evasive type. Even so, she's still one of the Six Kings, so I guess her evasive skills were excellent too?
As I was thinking about this, Iris-san raised her hand up to the sky and summoned a huge magic circle.
[συμφορά μοιραίο φορέας!]
(T/N: Calamity Doombringer)
Filling my vision with a large amount of swords…… Iris-san unleashed a wide-scale magic. The moment they shot forward, Isis-san, who was in my field of vision earlier, began to move at a tremendous speed.
[Wha!? Eh? Arehh? That way?]
