70 – I’m going to kill them all, every single one of them.
Turning her body, Iris faced Angsho and slowly began to walk towards him.
“Hick..!”
Ansho, who seemed to regain consciousness belatedly, let out a scream-like sound and stumbled backward.
A chilling aura emanated from Iris, giving Ansho goosebumps, and when her inhuman gaze locked onto him, Ansho’s legs weakened and he lost his balance.
Thud!
Ansho, who had been clinging to him and howling, sat down on the floor and started pushing it away with his hands, trying to escape.
“Oh, don’t come any closer! How dare you challenge the authority of a slave!”
Ansho raised his hand with a ring on it and flicked his finger.
Snap!
No matter how much he flicked his finger, nothing happened, and Ansho’s face turned pale.
“T-This can’t be. It’s impossible for this collar to break just by direct force! There’s no way it could break without any reaction!”
He blurted out words that he would have thought of in his head under normal circumstances, showing how terrified he was.
Iris raised her sword with an expressionless face. Unlike her face, her eyes were filled with an intense and ominous anger.
“W-Wait! Yes, yes, I’ll apologize right now! Just ask! Y-You want to escape from being a slave, right? If that’s the case, I’ll…!”
Swish!
Iris’s sword lightly pierced Ansho’s shoulder.
“Ahhhhh!”
Ansho screamed as he writhed on the floor. After pulling out her sword, Iris swung it again.
“Help! S-Save meee!”
To prevent any rumors about himself from spreading, all the slaves who were present beside him had left the house. There was no one to rescue him anywhere.
Crack, thud!
Iris swung her sword repeatedly, avoiding the heart and throat, while Angsho groaned in agony, slowly dying from the torture of being mutilated.
“…”
When Angsho’s breath was completely cut off, Iris silently turned towards the entrance, holding her sword.
“I will kill them all, every last one of them.”
Even with Angsho, who had caused the problem, dead, Iris’s anger did not subside.
She had no intention of stopping until everything that had led to his death was gone.
Iris, leaving Angsho’s quarters, walked down the corridor, her sword dripping with blood. At that moment, a dog came running towards her, panting heavily.
The dog, sensing through the signal device that one of the slave collars had broken in the upper levels, naturally assumed that the collar had exploded when it broke.
Normally, one would have simply ignored the death of a stupid slave, but unfortunately, this time the broken collar was inside an important guest’s quarters. If the guest had been near the slave, they could have been seriously injured.
Even if they hadn’t been injured, they would have felt 100% discomfort. Ogukki, who had rushed out without even putting on a coat to deal with the aftermath, was faced with Iris, standing with a blank expression, holding a sword dripping with blood.
As soon as Ogukki spotted Iris, he felt a creepy feeling. It was partly because of the energy emanating from Iris -…
The fact that she was standing in front of the room where the signal from the collar disappeared, the white neck revealed when the collar disappeared, and the blood-dripping sword created all kinds of imaginations.
“Y-You, you can’t be…!”
Ogukki called out to the bewildered Iris with a trembling voice, committing a crazy act.
Swish.

As Iris turned towards Ogukki, he trembled and grabbed the whip that was tied to his waist.
Snap!
As the whip harshly hit the ground, Ogukki quickly activated the communication device to call those who could use their powers.
Iris’s gaze fell on the whip that hit the ground. The image of Ogukki striking her older brother’s back with the whip vividly flashed through her mind.
Thud!
When Iris looked down at her whip, skilled individuals who had been waiting around gathered around Oduki. Oduki took a step back, hesitating, and spoke.
“Capture that woman!”
Oduki’s pupils flickered dangerously. At first, Iris had been afraid of the guests she killed, but not anymore.
“It would be best to make an example out of her. The more gruesome, the better!”
It wasn’t unheard of for a slave to kill a guest. Most of the time, those who died in such a way became objects of ridicule, not sympathy.
Instead, the slaves who killed guests received more attention. The ones who dared to attack the heavens without knowing their place would suffer greatly and meet a gruesome end.
It was one of the enjoyable spectacles in the arena.
Oduki was contemplating how to execute Iris in his mind.
Thunk.
In an instant, Iris kicked the ground and approached Oduki, right in front of his face.
“Ugh…?”
Oduki’s round eyes widened as he realized Iris had come so close.
Slash, swoosh!
“Ah, aah!”
In order to protect Oduki, the slave who stood in front of Iris with a sword was deeply cut, along with his body.
Thud.
“Gruugh…”
After rolling on the ground, the slave finally regained consciousness. Iris swung her sword in the air with an indifferent expression.
Swish.
Blood splattered on Oduki’s face, and on the bodies of the other slaves beside him.
In the face of the terror of death, Odtugi trembled slightly on his pants and abandoned the idea of using Iris as a sacrifice for the event.
He staggered back, trembling, and shouted, covering Iris with his trembling index finger.
“Hee, heeheek… Kill her! Kill her!”
Slaves, whose collars were set to explode if they didn’t obey his command, snarled and rushed towards Iris. Iris easily defeated the slaves.
The slaves, who had enjoyed all sorts of luxuries by clinging to Odtugi like flies, turned into cold corpses.
“Oh, don’t come near!”
Odtugi screamed and started to run away. He ran like crazy, sacrificing all the slaves he encountered along the way. Thanks to the secret passage he knew, he was able to escape from Iris.
“Get, get in touch with Lady Jisoo.”
He muttered the task he had to do and, trembling, wrote a short letter to Jisoo with his trembling hand, looking for a piece of paper.
The letter stated that the slaves had gone mad and were making a mess of the arena. If Jisoo, who treated fun as the purpose of life, received it, she would definitely come.
“If that’s the case, I’ll be able to kill that damn woman!”
As he thought of Jisoo’s existence, his trembling decreased. He tied the letter to a crow’s leg.
“Heh, heh… Now I’m starting to regain my senses.”
After sending the letter, he regained half of his sanity that he had lost during his escape. He rubbed his forehead and realized something, then spoke louder.
“Yes, Champion!”
The strong men who stayed on the top floor were far stronger than the slave who was killed by Iris. With their help, he would be able to easily overpower Iris.
“It will cost a lot… but if it gives a good impression to Lady Jisoo, she will accept it!”
He immediately headed to the top floor through the secret passage.
“Ugh, ugh… damn it. I should make an elevator here someday.”
The secret passage was built with stairs in case of unforeseen circumstances. Odtuki wiped off his sweat and headed towards the top floor.
Thud.
Four floors below the floor Odtuki was climbing, Iris was ascending the stairs with an expressionless face. The secret passage was no longer a safe place.

“I’m asking you nicely like this.”
“But that doesn’t add up.”
“Ugh, it’s a chance for us to impress Miss Jisoo, isn’t it?!”
“While that is appealing, it’s not everything… We can’t just brush it off when it’s such an important matter to maintain the trust of the arena. Don’t you think so?”
As a handsome man with glamorous blond hair lounged on the sofa, Odtuki clenched his body and gritted his teeth in response to his wavering voice.
“Well, what do you want then?”
“Hmm… First -“
As Champion was about to voice his demands, he blurred his words and abruptly stood up from his seat, grabbing the sword leaning against the wall.
“Hah, you set a trap when we were supposed to make a deal.”
“What? What are you talking about…”
“Or are you just that stupid?”
Thunk.
Before Champion finished speaking, the tightly closed door of the lodging began to split apart. It was as if something sharp had sliced through it.
Thud.
The broken pieces of the door fell, and Iris walked in from the other side.
“Heh, hee hee! H-How did you get here?”
Ottogi stepped back in astonishment. The Champion calmly drew his sword.
“You know the price goes up if it’s a post-payment, right?”
“What? No, even so…”
“If you don’t like it, I can leave?”
“No! Yeah, go ahead, even if it’s expensive, kill that brat!”
“Received.”
The Champion drew his sword with a serious expression. As he muttered something in a foreign language, an electronic ball buzzed around his body.
“Would you rather die willingly? My body is quite valuable, you know.”
A sinister smile spread across his gentle face. The mad swordsman and dark mage who swung his sword and magic until he shattered his opponent, fearlessly approached Iris.
I think everyone isn’t thinking this so I’ll give you some imagery. Iris is now female Sephiroth.
