Iris grasped the “purple lightning” and ran through the town. Without hesitation, she gave out the lightning against the demons descending from the sky. –The demons, which were frightened by the lightning strike, were cut in two with one swing.

“Miss Iris! It’s not safe for you to go forward alone!”

“!”

She stopped when she heard the voice of a knight following Iris from behind. Iris glanced back at the knight, who was coming.

“Follow us. If anything should happen to you, ……”

“I’m fine. By the way, can I leave around here to you?”

 “Around here!?”

Hearing Iris’s words, the knights seemed to have noticed. This whole area was being taken over by demons. More and more demons were coming from the “entrance” that has been created in the sky above. Iris and the knights don’t know if they’ve collected this much or if the entrance is connected to the demon’s den ……. However, there was no doubt that Iris and the knights needed to get out of the current situation immediately.

“I believe in you guys, who belong to the Knights of the Black Wolf Mr. Schweitz joined. I’ll leave this to you guys.”

“But…”

“You became a knight to protect the nobles?　I’m here to protect everyone.”

Once she had declared that much, the knight fell silent. Iris has already told her determination- she would no longer be stopped by the knight’s words. Glancing down, Iris looked at her feet. It was the heels that Wellman had prepared for her to match her dress.

“I should have changed my clothes.”

She took off her heels on the spot and looked at her destination in her bare feet. She lowered her posture slightly and took a stance.

“Fuu–“

She took a small breath. She meditated and focused her attention. The place Iris is aiming for is still a few hundred meters away from here. The mages who created this barrier would be there. There are still many demons waiting for her. Iris must capture this place quickly and surely.

“I’m going.”

With the words, Iris kicked the ground. Her whole body is covered with lightning, and she accelerated while making noise. The demons that saw Iris’s figure tried to attack her but were struck down by lightning as they approached. This is a method of moving that makes your body look like magic – the “lightning body”. It consumes a lot of magic power, however Iris did not care about that. She defeats the enemy squarely. This is the style of the girl named Iris Reinfell, the maiden of the sword.

“! They’re coming!”

The next that stood in front of Iris after passing through the siege of demons was an army of mages. In the shadows of the building, on the roof, in front of the building – the mages who had been waiting everywhere appeared. Iris ran straight through without hesitation. She passed through the mages standing in front of her before they could use their magic. The mages were following her after she left, but she didn’t care about that. It’s rather convenient if they focused their attention on Iris. The person who united these mages would be ahead of Iris. And to prevent her from reaching that person, the mages chased after her. Iris accelerated further.

“How fast is that ……?　This is the maiden of the sword–“

Iris left even the words of surprise behind. Iris eventually spotted a figure and stopped. Eventually, Iris spotted a figure and stopped. She felt the presence of people chasing her from behind, but instead of looking in that direction, she looked at the man in front of her.

“You arrived earlier than expected, Iris Reinfell.”

“…… are you –Faren Tobelt…….?”

“Do you remember me？”

It was a long time ago, but Iris had once met the man in front of her, Faren. This was because Faren’s father was a knight and one of the people Iris respected. His son did not become a knight.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]

The fact that you are here means that ……

“That’s right. I am the one who created this barrier, and now I am the head of the Magic Cult – Bulfaus.”

“……!　Magic…..cult?　You should belong to the Kingdom’s Sorcerers Association.”

This is an organization related to the arts of magic that exists in the kingdom, albeit unofficially. The reason why their existence is not recognized is that many of them are dangerous compared to the arts of magic that the kingdom is promoting on its own. It’s not just the information that’s circulating around that’s unacceptable; it’s the fact that they’re forcing people to physically raise their magical power and making mages out of people who aren’t naturally gifted as mages.

“The Sorcerers Association – that’s its public face. The Sorcerers Association is an organization that is not officially recognized by this kingdom. It is an organization set up by house Ranbelk……, but their methods are not efficient. No matter how long it takes, the Sorcerers Association will never be recognized in this kingdom. No matter how long it takes, there will never be any progress in the arts of magic.”

“That is why you did it? If you do something like this with magic just because magic technology is not recognized…”

“Doesn’t make sense, does it?　Rather, it makes sense. We have the power to threaten this kingdom. …… We can make it known. And you, Iris Reinfell, are a hostage.”

“I’m a hostage?”

“Yes, you are. It seemed that Cashel Ranbelk tried to take you in, but you refused as expected. So, from the beginning, this plan was only meant to be implemented today.”

“It was meant to be carried out?　Your actions are a betrayal not only of house Ranbelk but of this kingdom.

“No, ……, it’s for the good of the kingdom. But you wouldn’t understand that even if I told you, Iris Reinfell. You’re still young and you’re just a little girl who doesn’t know anything.”

“…… I don’t know anything, do I? It is true that I may still be a child. But even if it was for the sake of the kingdom, your actions would not be tolerated. I can assure you of that. So I’ll stop you.”

Iris pointed the tip of her Purple Lightning Sword at him and took a stance. Faren narrowed his eyes and gave a small sigh.

“I say you’re a child when you stick with my story. Did you let your guard down, thinking that the mages you fought to get here weren’t much?　Don’t underestimate us. We’ve been improving our magic skills for the sake of this kingdom.”

“!”

Several mages appeared in front of Faren. In addition, shadows came one after another to surround Iris. The magic power that could be felt from the surroundings seemed so strong, as they would be already ready to activate the magic.

“That’s a lot of people for one person.”

“The maiden of the sword …… I have recognized your abilities. That’s why I thought we would need such forces.”

“Fine. I can deal with them on my own–!”

Iris choked on her words. The sudden feeling of presence gave Iris an inexplicable sense of dread.

“……?　What’s going on?”

Faren didn’t notice. However, he soon came to understand. The mages who surrounded Iris were ‘slashed’ and fell one after another.

What the hell is ……?　Oh, no!

“Hmmm… you’re bad guys, aren’t you? House Tobelt ‘s people.

“…… You are….”

There was a woman who landed in front of Iris and Faren. Iris had only just got to know the woman the other day.

“Ma, Mariel!　And that sword is …….”

“It’s been a while, Iris. Now I’m going to join you.”

Mariel Schweiss, Alta’s sister. –In her hand, she held a sword without a blade, the Steel Thread Sword, and at her waist is a sword with an extendable blade, the Hundred Legs. She appeared with a sword that had been used by the Swordsman Gang that Arta had defeated.[Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the “Novel Multiverse dot com” website @ novelmultiverse.com]
