The Ultraviolet Electricity that Illis wields will thunder itself and cause damage to humans with it.

Illis can overcome it and use it - but it was only a short while ago that he swore to wave this sword at his own will.

Until then - until I became "The Most Powerful Knight," maybe because I also had hesitations about having this sword.

But not now.

Even if it was my best friend in front of me, I would not hesitate to take the sword if I were to stop him. No, because the opponent is Aria, Iris took the sword himself.

First meeting. Aria packed the distance without getting lost in the purple thunder wrapped around Illis.

Aria should understand the nature of this sword. Still, it should be noted that the Sword of Illis and Aria's Shortcuts of Painted Black collide.

"... Huh!

The moment the sword and dagger collide, Aria gives a look of agony.

Because the thunderbolt of Illis struck Aria relentlessly.

Look at that, Illis clouds his expression again too - but

"... don't be alarmed"

"Become...!?

It should be noted that Aria's movements never slowed down, even though she was subjected to the thunder that Iris wrapped around her.

Rather wield two short knives, as if they were accelerating.

Aria's speed of continuous strikes is overwhelming, and Iris can't add to or subtract from preventing a serious Aria onslaught either.

(but…)

Each other, we've been together for years.

Because I've grown up in that meeting.

Iris can roughly predict how Aria might attack us.

Aria's onslaught, which still won't stop her movement after a thunderstorm, gave her a hunch of 'settlement in the short term'.

Longer, I guess you understand that Iris has his share, which is both aggressive and enduring.

Even in the ensuing series of attacks, Illis constantly peers into the gap in the counterattack.

And I'll be right there.

In Aria's onslaught, there is really a slight gap.

It was like Aria's habit, and there was always a huge gap in how fast an attack was.

Because it's Iris, we don't miss that slight gap - we take a step and turn to offense. At that moment,

――

What Iris felt was discomfort with his own swinging sword.

Iris turns his gaze toward the sword, feeling as if it were being pulled outward.

The area close to the filament pattern, there was a single thread wrapped around it.

(… this, is……!)

The same thing that restrained Iris earlier - no, if that's the case, you won't be able to stop the Iris blade. We wrapped the stiffer around the moment that Illis turned into an offensive.

Just for a moment - like I showed a gap, for Aria to be one of the Illis ahead.

"That's why I told you. Don't be alarmed."

Around the Iris, a 'black hole' appears.

What emerged from it was a small knife, apart from Aria's short knife.

The yarn is also stretched out of a hole a little further away.

To seal Iris' movements, or the knife is released aiming at Iris' feet.

"Ko, of...!

The sword of Illis remains caught by the thread of Aria.

But Illis pierces the ground with an ineffective sword of freedom and flies it up on the spot on the axis.

It's like letting Aria eat a kick at the same time.

Aria prevents it and falls back slightly.

"You're not the only one who can move like this."

"... no. Illis and I are completely different"

"What..."

"All of it. Even before, yes. I, in my battle with Illis - never really fought. Even Illis is... thunder, still weak?

"! That's..."

That's what Aria points out, and Illis clouds his expression.

That allegation is not incorrect - is it unconscious, that Iris, in his battle with Aria, was not able to exert his true power.

I'm serious about stopping Aria, and then...

"I'm not. If it's for" loved ones, "you can kill them without hesitation. That's the difference between me and Illis."

"... Huh!

Aria sets up a short knife and enters the battlefield again.

Iris also lays down his sword, unable to hide his agitation.

Lost blunts the sword...... even though I know it, it's not easy to switch. Aria and Iris try to make another move - that's when another one came from a different direction.

(……! Reinforcements……!?)

Illis gets up.

From the fact that she is dressed in the same way as Aria, I know that it belongs to her people.

The other fellow, when he shows Aria how to ear him,

"... I'm done for the day"

"What do you mean?

"I said it's over. Iris...... you just have to do your job. I do what I have to do. But there's only one thing - get your hands off this thing."

"Aria!

Iris tries to retain Aria.

But Aria moves fast - away with her people.

Illis also tries to chase after him, but he sees Merche on the edge of his sight.

"Mr. Merche!

Iris rushes over to Merche where he kneels on the spot. I showed him the trick that Merche would stop with his hands.

"Don't worry. I got away with it too..."

He seemed a little hurt, but he seemed safe.

Iris stares in Aria's vanishing direction.

"Why..."

No one answers that question.

Without knowing the answer to anything, only the fact that Aria was clearly the enemy remained in Illis.

... It was a little after this that Alta and Aena came here.
