To Be a Power in the Shadows!

"Princess Iris......"

I stare at Iris with a face that says something about Beatrice.

"I know. There's not enough power..."

Iris smiles to hide his regrettable face.

"But you can't pull it off. You can't let anything get away with being vandalized at will of the Martial Arts Festival. It's intentional. To me, and to the Kingdom of Midgal..."

And stare at the shadow.

"I will stop Shadow from moving even in lieu of this life. Dear Beatrice, in the meantime, please put a stop to it."

"... ok. Fit."

Beatrix also tuned in to Iris, who was ready.

The two confront Shadow with temper in their eyes.

"Come on... try to fight it"

Shadow lowers the tip of the knife and takes the stand.

Fill in the stiffness and intermission as Iris glances at the desk.

For a while, only the sound of rain and thunder sounded.

"At least one arrow, let me reward you"

At the same time as the loud thunder, Iris set it up.

When she packs her time, she targets Shadow's neck with that long sword.

But Shadow went out in time by just half a step back. Shadow moves on to the next move in anticipation of an empty swing.

But Iris' sword stretched.

By letting go of her sword, she was forced to extend her range.

Shadow instantly changes his movements. Return the sword that was moving against you and play the Iris sword.

Iris' counterattack crumbled here - I thought.

But as she stepped in, she sank herself and reached into the torso of the shadow to assemble.

A definite temper is there, trying to stop the movement even in lieu of life.

We can't dodge it in time.

"Brilliant."

The next moment, Shadow's knee struck out Iris' face.

She had no reason to know. Fighting was Shadow's area of expertise.

Iris' body collapses.

But Iris did the part.

The moment I let go of my knee, Shadow's movements stopped for a moment.

And that moment was enough for her.

"Haa!!

A flash of beatrix approaches the shadow.

Beatrice slammed the long sword with his full strength against a pitch-black knife.

With a tremendous impact sound, Shadow's sword, hands, arms, and momentum flow.

Dead body shadow.

A great moment arrived.

Beatrice's pursuit was the fastest.

But it was quicker for Shadow to let go of the knife than that.

He abandoned the knife in a flash of judgment, and disappeared.

There, out of the sight of Beatrice.

"Down!?

He bowed low and assembled himself on the hips of Beatrice as he crawled through the ground. That's not comparable to Iris', sophisticated, streamlined move.

Too close to waving a long sword.

Shadow took up the beatrix with ease, and slammed it straight into the earth.

"Kaha!!

The cobblestone broke. The air in my lungs was exhaled.

But at that moment, I could wave a long sword.

Beatrix waves his long sword in a hazy consciousness.

Shadow doesn't mind lifting the beatrix and slapping it as it is again - I let go of my hand along the way.

Beatrice's long sword is empty, and she clashes straight against the battlefield wall.

With the fierce noise, her body plunged into the wall of the arena.

And then something comes down from the sky making the sound of cutting the sky.

Shadow reached out and grabbed it - it was a pitch-black knife.

It's as if you calculated everything......

Thunderlight reflects the two men who fell and fell in the arena.

Beatrice and Iris are the only ones left with no hands or legs. Everyone doubted and feared their eyes for the fact of that shock.

"... you're done"

Glimpsing the two fallen, Shadow turned back on his heels.

"Wait..."

To that voice, he stopped.

"Wow, I can still fight..."

Iris rises up in an unconstrained foothold.

Subsequently, the Beatrice also rose by pushing the debris from the wall.

"Me too..."

Two raised swordsmen.

But Shadow glances at them and walks away.

"Wait! Running away?

To Iris's voice, Shadow stopped.

"... Run away?

The next moment, the blue-purple light dyed the arena.

"Heh...!?

"Huh!!

Overwhelming magic runoff.

That overflows from Shadow's body and swirls as he paints a spiral.

The rain is drank by magic and scratches off.

"No way... no way, really...!?

"This... I can't"

Iris and Beatrice stood stifled by unimaginable force.

If he wields this power, he will erase all of this arena.

Iris, Beatrice, and the audience were equally powerless before this power.

"You need to run, where is it...?

No one - can stop him. I was made to understand that fact without refusal.

"Why...?

Iris asks in a trembling voice.

"If you had so much power... you could have killed me at all times"

"... the purpose has been achieved. I'm not interested in your lives... we only slaughter our enemies..."

Shadow glances at Iris and converges his magic powers on the sword.

"Who is the true enemy... don't lose sight"

And Shadow unleashed his blue-purple magic into the sky.

A dazzling light dyed the arena, the king's capital, and the sky, and wiped out the rain clouds.

When the light went out, there was a clear blue sky there.

I don't see Shadow.

The clouds, the rain, the thunder, and the shadow... were all gone as if they were lies.

"Don't lose sight of your true enemy... Shadow, what the hell are you..."

Iris looks up at the cloudless sky and squeals Shadow's remaining words.

His purpose… and what is the true enemy….

"... beautiful"

There was a big rainbow over the sky.
