Episode 33. Breaking the Limit (5)
“Ariel! I have to go get my weapon repaired right now!”
“Weapon Repair…… ?”
Ariel tilts her head. Before long, I realized that my vengeance had been broken.
“That, that, that sword! What happened?!”
“I broke it while fighting Peremus.”
“Why? How? No, why all of a sudden!?”
Ariel shouts, urgently snatching away my vengeance. She looks at the completely smashed blade in vain and cannot hide her agitation.
“Pa…… Phasma! Can you see or hear Phasma’s ghost?!”
“Sorry. I can’t see or hear anything since it was broken.”
I answered while ignoring Ariel’s moistened eyes.
“That, that…… ! We broke up because of Peremus…… This time, because of Peremus…… !”
Eventually, Ariel sat down and couldn’t hold back her tears. She cries sadly as she holds the sword tightly.
Despite the clattering sounds and screams pouring out around her, I heard nothing but her cries.
I clenched my fists and bit my lower lip. I didn’t want to see you cry like this.
“Stop crying.”
I sat down in her seat, holding Ariel by the shoulder.
“If I repair the weapon, I might be able to put my soul back into it. Nothing is certain yet.”
“…… Whoops.”
Ariel sniffed and let out a snort. She slowly raises her head and looks at me. She made eye contact with me for a while, then she wiped the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand and stood up from her seat.
“Yes. Don’t give up on anything yet. Start by repairing—”

“Later… …. Do it later.”
“What?”
I put on a puzzled expression for a moment at the unexpected words. It would have been Ariel who wanted to fix it right now, but she couldn’t understand why she was procrastinating.
“Let’s watch for a little while and go… …. Maybe it’s the moment when the long-awaited revenge may come true…….”
“It’s okay…… ?”
“It’s okay. I’m sure you’ll be fine…….”
She shook her shoulders as she clenched her fists.
Ariel seemed to be determined in his own way. There was nothing I could say to her.
* * *
As Iris used her absolute realm, all her demons within her range turned their heads towards her. She had noticed that Magi was gone.
As the demons disappeared, of course the demons were weakened, and the knights and adventurers on the defensive line could kill the demons more easily than before.
It was a turnaround.
“Magi is gone.”
Says Pheremus, opening and closing her fists repeatedly.
“I would never have thought the situation would change this much just because one hero was injured.”
Thanks to the performance increase of the Absolute Area skill due to the limit break, it was okay to not pierce it into the ground anymore.
“Don’t think you can recover right away like you did a moment ago.”
Iris kicks the ground lightly and approaches Peremus. He didn’t even respond that Iris was approaching.
The ends of all things twisted his neck to avoid it belatedly, but the tip of the aura slightly cut his throat. Blue blood oozes out.
“You’ll have to keep avoiding it. Otherwise, you will die.”
“Such a cheeky…… !”Ruin-“
Suddenly! Awesome!
Iris’ forearms as thick as her torso floated in the air, and blue blood splattered.
“This is my territory now. You should have thought that if you used such a big technique, you would rather be defeated.”
The red manmul yangdan shakes off the blue blood.
“hahahaha!”
“I told you to avoid it because I wanted to have some fun with you.”
Iris thrusts her sword into her torso. Peremus hurriedly kicked the ground backwards and distanced himself from Iris.
“You damned warrior bastard!! Thoreau! Ter! Join forces!”
Peremus put down his pride only when he was cornered. His need to survive took precedence over his own self-esteem being destroyed.
But Peremus didn’t know. That the number is a handshake.
“Soro? Ter? Why do you call the guys who lost to me and Tina…….”
Iris’ eyes turned to the direction where Peremus’s head turned. When she found her S-class brother and sister, who had become demons, standing there dumbfounded, she said quietly.
“…… I see It did. You guys were just like the trash prince!”
In her rage, Ter stretches out her arms and Thoreau summons an ice golem.
“「Gravity Field」!”
“You. Even if you became a demon, you still use the coordinate designation method, right?”
Iris spoke calmly despite being in the gravitational field installed by Ther.
‘The gravitational field doesn’t work?’
Now that her demonic energy has disappeared, Terr has been using her pure mana to suppress her. Even if the power of that power was reduced, it was not at a level that could be ignored.
However, the ‘gap’ that Iris obtained while breaking through her limits could not be penetrated with her mana.
“As expected, you guys are annoying.”
Iris dashes. With less than a split second of speed, she approaches Ther and aims at her neck.
“Just die.”
Both ends of creation are swinging.
“「Ice wall」!”
Boom!
Due to the towering ice wall beneath Iris’s feet, the trajectory of her sword changed and Ter’s neck deflected. And the golem strikes Iris.
However, their attacks were useless in front of the gap.
“Annoying…… ! After all, you should have killed them then.”
As I tried to get into a position in the air to slaughter the ice golem, the golem caught fire. Urca uses [Hell Fire] To melt the ice golem’s body.
“Iris! Leave Thoreau and Terre to us! You deal with Peremus!”
“Do not disturb! Urca!!”
The blade of Iris’s sword, which was aiming at the ice golem, returned to Ter’s arm, which was extended to Urca.
“「Illusion Sword」.”
Even though they could never reach it, Iris’s sword cut Ter’s forearm.
“!!”
Terr looked dejectedly at his severed forearm. Seeing that, Thoreau tried to summon the Ice Legion. However.
“「Underwater Bondage」.”
Glare winds chains made of water around Ter and Soro’s bodies.
“Isle of Flames”!”
Aiming for that gap, Urca approached Thoreau and thrust her sword into his heart.
“Heuk!”
“Nu—”
Suddenly!
Iris, who came down to the ground before I knew it, cut Ter’s head.
Terr thought even while his vision was spinning.
‘Is this how it was meant to be in the end?’
He realized right before he died.
No matter how much they became demons superior to humans, Prause’s disciples could not win.
Terre’s head rolled around on the ground, and Thoreau vomited blood as he looked at Terre’s head. Soon he collapses and closes his eyes.
Because it is in the absolute realm where there is no magic, there was no way to repair the fatal wound.
“Good work! Soro, Ter!”
In the meantime, Pheremus, who had recovered by replacing the mana floating in the air with demon energy, threw out his fist with all his might.
“「Destruction—Aircraft Artillery」!!”
Iris saw the distance to Peremus and judged that it was impossible to block the attack. He instead tried to keep only Glair and Urca near him.
It was then.
“「Dynamic」.”
Prause blocked Peremus’ special move with the greedy glass sword.
Originally, he intended to keep an eye on him.
However, he thought that if Peremus’ wide-range attacks poured in, most of the people defending the defense line would die without enduring Peremus’ attack.
That’s why he rushed, thinking it was right for him to step forward if he could reduce the casualties even a little.
“It’s you again this time, Prause…… !”
“Iris!”
Prause falls back and Iris comes forward.
“Let’s finish.”
“aaa!!”
Peremus swings his fists at random. In line with that, Iris loaded the two swords with mana.
“「Welcoming Banquet Island」.”
Welcome banquet island.
It is originally a technique to draw a trajectory in the air and throw a sword at the end, but at this moment it was different.
The trail of the sword was drawn over Peremus’ hard body.
Before the blue blood spurted out and the sound of cutting flesh stopped, the sound of cutting the next piece of flesh continued.
“Kuaaa!!”
“Die!”
The moment her sword energy radiated, Peremus’ body split into dozens of equal parts, and dozens of pieces of flesh fell onto the cold ground.
“This, how could it be…… No…… Uh… ….”
“Stop dying.”
The guardian of the sanctuary is embedded between Peremus’s forehead and his eyes are turned.
That’s how Peremus died.
“Ha ha. Ha.”
Iris looked down at the dead Peremus, catching her breath, then raised her hands high, clenching her fists.
“Good!”
Her voice mixed with ecstasy was a sentence that informed the demons of Peremus’s death.
The corps, which had been moving in an organized manner, could not hide their embarrassment and disrupted their ranks.
The demons began to run away one by one, becoming ragtag and being unilaterally subjugated by knights and adventurers.
In the meantime, Iris came naturally to Prause as if she had no interest in other demons.
“Master!!”
Prause calmly stroked Iris’ hair. She lifted her head, looked up at her master, and smiled bashfully.
“Done in 5 minutes! He!”
“I see. Good job.”
With the relief that he had survived, Prause relaxed and felt as though his legs would give up and he would collapse at any moment.
“As expected, Master! You were amazing until the end! I was thrilled to see him block that powerful shot!”
“…… Why do you think your flattery is increasing day by day?”
“No flattery! I’m a prisoner who can’t be flattered!”
Prause nodded appropriately at Iris’s cry and affirmed it.
And watching the scene from a distance, Ariel quietly stroked the broken sword.
“Pasma, are you watching? Your revenge was fulfilled by Iris. The hero who will save this world…… We finally made our dream come true…….”
* * *
Around the time of the first victory in the empire with the fall of the 1st Legion.
Kuro, who was in Aeum Kingdom, scratched his head shyly.
“Hey… …. I don’t know if I can handle this.”
“Are you going to stop me? Then I have no choice but to kill you.”
Inkuro sighed in embarrassment.
At the end of his gaze stood a blonde woman, Stella, with a cold expression.
