Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 151

CHAPTER 151: VS THE ULTIMATE EVIL *8*

「Iris…… Just who ARE you……?」

Right now, for the first time, I felt like I was actually able to touch the real Iris’s heart.

Why did she harbor such a strong hatred for humanity?

Why does she see humans as her enemies?

Those were the pure questions that were popping out inside of my head. That’s how much I wanted to know more about her.

「…… Oh my, please do excuse me for that sudden outburst. It seems that I have let my emotions take the better of me for a moment out there.」

Iris managed to keep her hatred under control and her usual charming smile bloomed on her lips once more.

「Iris, what is it that drives you to go so far? What…… What the hell…… What happened to you in the past?」

「Fufufu, whether something happened to me or not, it doesn’t really matter right now, does it?」

「It matters to me.」

But even though I said that, Iris simply refused to speak up.

「I…… I want to understand. I want to know more about you, Iris.」

「…………」

Iris seemed to be stunned for a moment.

「Fufufu, ahahahahaha!」

But then, she laughed.

「You really are one hell of a mysterious individual, Rein-sama. To do such a thing and say such a thing at such a time…… Fufufu. Yes, a mysterious individual. But also, a really interesting one.」

「Iris, please…… Can you tell me what happened to you?」

「Hmm, let’s see…… Oh yes. Well then, how about we do something like this?」

Iris opens her mouth as if she had a really good idea just now.

「Please deliver a solid blow onto me. If you will show me that you possess that much power inside of you, then I am going to answer your every question, Rein-sama. And….. Ah, yes. I will also retire from this place. That I can promise you.」

「That’s one hell of a specific condition.」

「This just goes to show just how much of an interesting person I think you are, Rein-sama. That, and besides……」

Iris snapped her fingers.

「The way that you are now, Rein-sama, it is almost impossible for you to achieve that condition, anyways……」

A black flame appeared from the void.

But not one.

Two, three, four……. More and more of them just keep on coming.

「Fufufu…… Come forth. Otherworldly Flames. All of you, come right here, to me.」

Apparently, that story about Summoning Magic not having any kind of limitations that ordinary Magic tends to have wasn’t a lie.

One after another, a mass of fire was summoned from somewhere else entirely…….

Soon enough, it would engulf my entire field of vision.

「Fufufu. This is my power when I get serious.」

「Auh……」

「What a monster……」

Kanade and Tanya shriveled up at the sight of the unbelievable violence and destruction whirling and swirling right in front of us.

I was terrified of it, too.

If I let my mind wander anywhere else right now, my legs would surely start shaking so much that they would simply give up on me.

But still.

There is no way that we can just turn our backs right now and run away!

「With all of that overwhelming power right in front of you, are you still going to try and resist it?」

「I won’t try! I will resist it!」

「Fufufu…… That kind of resolution and determination, I like it. Now then…… Please show it to me. Your very own power and determination, Rein-sama!」

The flames unfolded in the air and moved in unison.

Just like a hungry beast wanting to bite its prey.

Running from the sky to the ground, the flames attacked us all at once.

「”Multi-Boost!”」

「Nyan!」

「With this……!?」

I cast a multi ability-enhancing spell on Kanade and Tanya.

After gaining a boost to her power, Kanade held her fist in a hollowed out position.

She put her strength into it.

She focused her mind further.

And then she unleashes a blow like a cannonball!

「Unyaah!」

Kanade’s fist then shot forward through the air, and……

WHOOOSH!!!

The wind and the air itself was disturbed by that blow and began to move.

The air pressure caused by Kanade’s attack was more than enough to drown out some of the flames.

「Doing things bit by bit is not exactly something that suits my nature and style…… So I am going to extinguish those things all at once!」

Tanya spread her wings as if to show off her resolve.

The light on those wings…… It was the sign that her Magic Power was rapidly converging.

And then it striked forwards with all of its might!

A special Dragon Breath attack cleared away the approaching flames.

It was a flash of heat that could fill the entire world for a single moment.

No matter how powerful Iris’s magic is, it can’t shoot through a Dragon Breath that is more powerful than that.

Every single bit of flame was then shot down by Tanya’s Dragon Breath.

And yet, there was still a small amount of flames left on the field.

At the current moment we managed to secure our own safety, but we haven’t stopped the flames that were flying into the village.

But there was no need for us to rush or anything like that.

「Nnnhhh……!!!」

Nina held up her hand and the flames went out in an instant.

A few moments later, the flames appeared somewhere else entirely, landing in the middle of nowhere, and then simply vanishing.

Nina had remotely controlled the flames to force them to transfer out of the village.

It was a power she had acquired as a result of her Special Training with Suzu-san.

Apparently it was still difficult for her to deal with living people and the like in this way, but like now, she seems to be able to deflect offensive magic without any problems.

「I won’t let you do it!」

Tina let out a loud voice…… I mean, she still looked like a kettle, so it was a little bit of a silly scene, but…… you could definitely feel that she was fired up here.

As if in response to that, the flying flames changed their trajectory.

As it is, the flames started to get closer and closer….. and then they made contact. It was an induced explosion that resulted in the next moment.

Tina’s magic power intervened in the trajectory of the flames and caused them to smash into each other.

This was also the power she gained from her Special Training with Suzu-san.

With her Magic Power raised to the limit, she was now able to perform extraordinary tricks.

「My, oh my. You certainly handled that rather well.」

Despite the fact that her attack was prevented, Iris’s carefree attitude simply wouldn’t go away.

Rather, she seemed to be enjoying herself more and more here.

「Well then…… What do you say to something like this? Come forth, Otherworldly Flames. Come here, all of you. Come forth, Thunderbolt of Annihilation. Come here, all of you. Come forth, Ice Bullets of Sorrow. Come here, all of you.」

「What……?

The flames filled my entire vision once again.

But that was not all.

Thunderbolts and ice bullets joined in on the spectacle of destruction, and a storm of violence erupted at once.

「I can summon those attacks again and again, as many times as I want. I can unleash as many storms of violence as I want without running out of energy to do so, as many times as I desire. And yet, each blow is equal in power to the Hammer of God. If I do say so myself, it might sound like a joke, but it’s quite powerful. Now, how will you respond to this?　Can you resist it?　Fufufu…… Let’s see what you can do now, Rein-sama!」

「Bring it on!」

There is no time for us to be afraid.

There is no room for us to retreat.

We just have to keep moving forward!

I brandished Kamui in my hand and ran towards Iris.

「Oh my, oh dear. Have you finally become so desperate?」

Iris flicked her fingers lightly and……

With that, a rain of flames came down all at once.

「”Fireball Multi-Shot!”」

I activated my magic at maximum power.

I also deployed several more Fireballs at the same time to intercept Iris’s flames.

My magic and Iris’s flames collided with each other, causing a huge explosion.

The other flames disappeared as well, caught up in the explosion.

「Fufufu, magnificent work. But how about this one?」

All of the ice bullets came down all at once.

Each blow was as sharp as a spear and as fast as a flying bird.

If we were to receive even a single shot from something like that, we would likely become incapacitated and we would be unable to fight.

「”Matter Creation!”」

I put my hands on the ground and poured my magic power into the ground.

The ground rose up and covered the surroundings just as I imagined it would.

It’s a power arranged from the power I got from making a contract with Nina, ‘Matter Creation’.

By channeling my magic power, I was able to not only create matter, but also design it in even more detail.

It’s also possible to create earthen walls like this for protection.

As a bonus, the strength of the wall has been more than doubled due to the flow of my magic power.

All of the ice bullets Iris fired at us were blocked by the earthen shield.

「Oh my, so you were able to defend yourself against this one, too?」

「Yeah, but it was a true close call right now.」

The earthen shield had been pierced by countless ice bullets and was on the verge of collapsing any moment now.

If there had been a few more of them, it might not have been able to prevent it from coming down on us.

「Aren’t you going to give up yet?」

「Unfortunately, I’m not a very good resigner, you see.」

「I’m not really all that fond of push gentlemen, you know?」

Iris snapped her fingers and the last remaining thunderstorms started to move.

Over a hundred lightning strikes bunched into one and became a raging thunder dragon that attacked us.

We, on the other hand, had no means of actually preventing it.

What should I do now?

The answer to that question is……
