Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 149

CHAPTER 149: VS THE ULTIMATE EVIL *6*

Iris’ barrier has already been destroyed.

Our attacks will be able to reach her now.

However, I still can’t see the bottom of Iris’s heart. And I am not sure if she won’t have anything else up her sleeve.

Although there was the information that she uses Summoning Magic, that can’t be all that she has going on for herself.

What other Powers could she have hidden away?

And how do we fight her from now on, not knowing what to expect?

There was an overwhelming lack of information on those things for our side.

And as long as we do not know what exactly it is that we are about to fight, it’s unwise for us to rush forward without thinking.

It would be extremely dangerous, but……

「Kanade and Tanya, follow me! Nina and Tina, keep it up and support us from the back!」

「Roger that!」

I saw Kanade nod her head and then I started running.

We shouldn’t be charging right at Iris like that, especially since we do not know what she might pull on us.

However, sometimes you have to dare to take a certain risk.

First I get up close and personal with Iris, and drag her into a close quarters fight.

Then, while I will keep her occupied, I am going to allow Kanade and Tanya to attack her from the sides as well.

That’s the plan I had in mind.

「Fufufu. What is it, Rein-sama? Do you want to dance with me this badly? So daring of you.」

「How about you take it easy on me, then?」

「Hmm, I don’t know? Whatever should I do~?」

As I ran, I ejected a needle from the Narukami on my left hand.

Its target was Iri’s eyes.

The needle flew fast and right towards its designated mark, but……

Iris just held up her hand as if it was the most natural thing to do in this situation, catching the needle and preventing it from reaching its mark.

It was an amazing display of reflexes.

Isn’t it comparable to that of a Cat Spirit Tribe? Or maybe even better?

I don’t know of any other Ultimate Species with this many high specs other than the Cat Spirit Tribe.

Not only has she mastered her magic power, but she has also mastered their physical abilities…… The Celestial Tribe are the Ultimate Species that almost seem like a cheat-kind of existence.

But it is expected that Iris will be able to block those attacks.

But the moment she goes to block them, she should also be slightly slowed down and vulnerable.

I took advantage of that gap and approached her even closer.

And when I was so close to her that our bodies were almost touching, I took a swing with Kamui..

「Hyah!」

「Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my! My goodness! Going with a knife against a woman like that? Talk about not all that impressive.」

「I feel like if I am not going to go all out against you like that, I am going to deeply regret it.」

「Fufufu, is that so…… Well, you are not wrong about that.」

Iris then spread her wings wide.

What is it?

What is she going to do next?

I paid extra attention to Iris’s movements so that I wouldn’t miss a single thing.

It was only because of that paying extra attention that I was able to notice THAT in time.

Iris’s wings flashed with cold, metallic glow.

And then, in the very next moment, the feathers of her wings shot forward like countless arrows……

「What the……!? “Gravity Manipulation”!!」　

I reversed the gravity’s flow on myself.

I then used Gravity Manipulation once more to double the effect.

My body then started to fall towards the sky.

A moment later……

The countless feathers from Iris’s wings mowed down the spot where I was standing just now.

It was just like a swarm of crop-devouring locusts.

And once the feather blades were done with attacking, there was nothing left at that exact spot.

「“Gravity Manipulation!”」

I then used Gravity Manipulation again.

Returning the direction of gravity to normal, I charged from my current position directly towards Iris.

At the same time, I ejected Narukami’s wire.

The wire was then entangled in Iris’s wings, which were about to release their blade-feathers once more, blocking her movement.

「Oh my, oh my!」

「Take this!」

I added the power of a gravity fall and put it all into a mighty drop kick.

It was a blow that was so powerful that it could even crush rocks if I wanted to.

Even a member of the Ultimate Species couldn’t possibly hope to take it head-on without suffering a tremendous amount of damage……

「What!?」
「Dear, oh dear. That’s a very passionate approach of you, Rein-sama.」
　
Iris kept a cool face, and with one hand, she was able to catch the rock-shattering kick with ease.

I might have been wrong with my assumption.

Iris didn’t have the physical abilities equal to that of the Cat Spirit Tribe.

She had more physical abilities than that of the Cat Spirit Tribe.

If I were to compare it to anything, she might have been as strong as Suzu-san was, if not even stronger.

「Come on. Thunderbolt of Annihilation.」

As if to capitalize on the advantage that she had right now, Iris moved the palm of her hand.

As if in response to that movement, a jet-black thunderbolt flew towards me from the void.

「”Boost!”」

This is bad.

I sensed the danger with my instincts, and without hesitation I cast a physical ability enhancement spell on myself.

My body instantly became as light as a feather.

I leap to the side in a big way to avoid the lightning strike.

「”Fireball Multi-Shot!”」

I then also shot out multiple Fireballs to shield myself from the incoming blast.

The Fireballs and lightning strike collided and an explosion occurred as a result.

I wanted the two to offset one another…… But I guess that won’t be happening!

After passing through the explosive flames, the thunderbolt crawled on the ground like a snake.

But in that case……!!

「“Matter Creation!!”」

I used the power I received from forging a contract with Nina.

In the past, I would have had to take my time in formulating the power and taking my time to use it, but now……

Thanks to Suzu-san’s Special Training, I was able to use that ability while fighting like this.

Should I say that I have more resources to devote to using my abilities right now?

I then created an iron spear.

Although I have gotten used to using this ability to a certain extent, this is still the limit of what I can accomplish with it.

However, this is enough for now.

I stabbed the iron spear into the ground.

In the meantime, I used Gravity Manipulation to escape into the sky once more.

GAGAGAGAGAGAGA!!!!!!

The thunderbolt released by Iris got tangled in the iron spear as if it was being sucked into it.

I thought of it as a sort of lightning rod, but it seems to have worked just fine.

「Come forth. Thunderbolt of Annihilation.」

What?

Without a moment’s pause, Iris unleashes another thunderbolt my way.

She’s capable of releasing so many powerful spells in a quick succession?

Unless you would be a member of the Spirit Tribe, I thought that you couldn’t really do that……

It would seem that Iris’s specs are way above the assumed standard, no matter how you look at it.

However, that was only the beginning of surprises.

「Fufufu, this won’t do, Rein-sama. You can’t be surprised by this level of things.」

「What?」

「Come forth. Otherworldly Flames.」

「Wha!?」

Did she just use two spells at once?

It was slightly different, but also very similar to our own abilities.

In my case, it was the ability to use multiple spells at the same time.

In contrast, Iris was using multiple spells at the same time as well now.

She just keeps on ramping up the difficulty here, it would seem.

And that’s because she had to build multiple magic structure formulas at the same time.

Naturally, the Magic Power consumed as a result of a process like that is pretty huge, and the resources devoted to building a magic structural formula, such as the thinking and mental power required to build it, are also exponentially large.

After training with Suzu-san, Sora was able to use multiple spells at the same time.

But even so, she was still limited to using two spells at the same time.

And yet………

「Come forth…… Whirlwind of Doom.」

Iris tried to use three spells at the same time.

No, it was not only that………

「I’m not done, Rein-sama. Come forth. Ice Bullet of Woe.」

Four spells at once!

That’s absurd! There’s no way that you can do something like that!

Even with Sora and Luna of the Spirit Tribe two simultaneous uses of spells are their absolute limit.

But Iris was able to go even beyond that, and she was seemingly achieving it so easily like that. That was not a normal thing that a person would ever be able to do.

But if we were to admit that it was indeed something that was possible, it would mean that the Celestial Tribe are the Ultimate Species with Magic Power even greater than that of the Spirit Tribe.

How could such a thing even be possible……?

「Kuh!」

　
Now is not the time to be surprised like that.

We have got to avoid this somehow.

「Why…… you little!!!!!!」

With such a voice, a light rushed through.
