Beast Tamer Who Got Kicked Out From the Hero’s Party Chapter 152

CHAPTER 152: VS THE ULTIMATE EVIL *9*

「Nnnhh…… Rein!」

With a humming sound, Nina appeared right next to me.

Putting her hand on me……

We were able to teleport to safety.

Passing through the dragon made out of accumulated thunder, we moved in front of Iris at once.

「Is this even possible…… To do something as reckless and rough like that!?」

「It sure is! I’m sorry, but I don’t fight alone, since I’m a Beast Tamer! I have my friends with me that I can count on!」

「Exactly!」

While her attention was all on us, Kanade approached Iris at once.

Iris’s gaze then swung from side to side.

Nina, Kanade, and I.

She seemed to be wondering which one she should aim for first.

That gap would become a big hole for us to exploit.

「Eat this!」

Tanya, who remained in the rear of the group, shot out a series of fireballs.

One shot, two shots, three shots.

The oversized Fireballs closed in on Iris.

「Come forth, Ice Bullets of Sorrow.」

Iris summoned the ice bullets and intercepted Tania’s fireballs with their help.

The power of the ice bullets was tremendous, canceling out the Fireballs and evaporating them without a trace.

But still.

The interceptions take up so much time that as a result your ability to respond to imminent threats is going to become greatly delayed.

That was probably Tanya’s aim here.

Having understood the thoughts of our companion, we quickly used that opportunity to close in on Iris.

「Sei!」

「Unyah!」

Kanade and I, we both hit Iris from left and right.

But Iris was able to catch our attacks with both of her hands.

Aside from me, I can’t believe that Iris would be able to block an attack coming from Kanade.

As usual, her physical strength was something that was utterly ridiculous.

Once again, I was reminded of the Celestial Tribe’s ridiculously high statistics.

But still……

We can’t give up here, and it was not like we have decided that we can’t reach Iris with our attacks in the first place.

「Hmmmnh……!」

Nina, who was nearby, moved directly above Iris thanks to her teleportation.

Wary, Iris tried to brace herself, but……

「I won’t let you!」

Kanade and I hit a rush of attacks under our breaths and blocked Iris’ hands.

Meanwhile, Nina moved on her own……

With a snap, she stuck to Iris’s back.

「W-What? What is this?」

As expected, Iris seemed to be confused.

What are they going to do?

She seemed to be flustered, unable to read Nina’s intentions right now.

As for Nina herself, she……

「Rein!」

She looked at me.

I was able to get some idea of what she was going to do by looking into their eyes just now.

I don’t know if it’s the sense of trust or the cooperation that comes from being friends and comrades-in-arms for a while, but……

That’s the kind of connection that I always wanted to have with someone.

「Nnhh!!」

Nina teleported herself together with Iris.

And the way in which they were teleporting towards was……

「Kuh……!! T-This is…….!?」

In the ground.

The teleportation was executed in the form of Iris’ lower body being buried in the ground.

Of course, Nina wouldn’t be buried in the ground.

She dared to shift the coordinates of Iris’s teleportation destination alone and made her burrow into the ground on her own.

「Bye, bye.」

Nina then used the teleportation once more to put some distance away from Iris and go back to safety.

「You’re wide open!」

Kanade ran at Iris, who couldn’t move at the moment.

She tries to deliver a merciless blow to her, but……

「I think that you are underestimating me way too much.」

「Nyah!」

Twisting her body, and flapping her wings vigorously……

Iris made a huge hole in the ground and made her escape.

It’s simply outrageous that she could escape from a situation like that so quickly and easily. She had way too much of that raw physical power, if you were to ask me.

Kanade seemed to be surprised and stopped in her tracks.

「Come forth, Otherworldly Flames.」

Iris’s fire burst forth, but……

I wouldn’t allow it to hit Kanade.

I pull back from Kanade’s hand and take her body in my embrace. By doing so, I managed to avoid the incoming attack.

「Funyaah!? Awawawawah!?」

For some reason, Kanade’s face turned beet red, but I couldn’t really be bothered right now by something like that.

Although Nina’s teleportation didn’t make it possible to seal Iris’s movements off……

It was more than enough for us to buy ourselves some time.
.
Once again, we were on our way to close the distance between Iris and ourselves.

Oh, and one more thing here.

If she can get a clear shot like that……!

Thinking about it……

I had a certain idea.

「Come on, Otherworldly……」

「STOP RIGHT THERE!!!」

With all the Magic Power I could muster, I shouted with all my might.

「Wha……!?」

Here, for the first time, the color of composure disappeared from Iris’s face.

As if she had been paralyzed, Iris came to a sudden halt.

　Her fingertips and other parts of her body are twitching, but that’s all.
She seemed unable to move her body freely, revealing her confusion.

「This is……!? What in the world is…… What did you……!?」

A Beast Tamer can give a simple order to a monster or animal without having to form a contract with them.

Of course, that doesn’t work against any kind of opponent.

It’s a whole lot of hard to work to use it against animals with strong powers……

And it’s not something you can do against the Ultimate Species with a strong sense of self.

And yet, I thought to myself, “If I could pull it off right now……
.
I thought that if it was me right now, maybe I could do it.

I was able to meet everyone and get help from everyone.

On top of that, Suzu-san gave me Special Training, and I was able to gain a certain amount of confidence thanks to that.

That’s how much I have accumulated.

That’s why it should be possible now, shouldn’t it? Or at the very least that’s what I thought.

And…… that thought seemed to be the correct one.

「Kuh……!!!」

Iris regained her freedom with a motion that seemed to unravel the threads that were tangled around her body.

The time during which I was able to restrain her would be about a second, at best?

I think I did well against the member of the Ultimate Species like that.

But…..

That one second was more than enough.

「Kanade!」

「On it!」

We held hands with Kanade.

Then I held Kaumi at the ready.

I could feel the power flowing in through our linked hands.

As the dagger’s blade started to heat up and become bright, burning red……

「Come forth, Otherworldly……」

「Too late!」

We approached until we were right in front of Iris.

She couldn’t use magic herself, because that would require her to stop her summoning magic.

Now then…… This is a checkmate.

「How about…….. TTTTTTHHHHHHIIIIIISSSSSS!!!!!!?????」

I swung Kamui down, filled with the power of Kanade and I, right on Iris.
