The parlor had a magical detection barrier, but it was not designed to prevent magical attacks from penetrating the walls.
　The magic of Iris (Rene) easily made a large hole.

　There were several people in the parlor, which was so luxurious that I wondered if there was any point in making it so.
　First, there was an elderly gentleman in a pompous suit. This was probably the duke, the owner of the castle.
　And sitting across from the duke is an old man who looks like an evil sorcerer. This is probably the leader of the Night Pythons that Iris (Rene) was chasing with her magic earlier.
　The two old men each have their own minions behind them. The presumed duke has knight-like figures in armor and officials with faces that look like they might be taking bribes. The duke has his knights in armor and his officials who look like they've taken bribes or something, and the chief has his hooded cloaks and his shady-looking guys who all look like they've killed a few people.

"Hmm. ......?　That's a bingo. That saved me a lot of trouble.

　Iris (Rene) couldn't stop her face from smiling with joy.
　Finally, Iris (Rene) had found the boss of the Night Python, which was her immediate goal. Not only that, but she has also captured the Duke, who is said to be the center of the Royalist faction, so she feels great.
　Judging by the pile of gold coins on his desk, it was obvious that he was in the middle of a secret meeting and bribe. It was true that they were in cahoots.

　The entrance of Iris (Rene) was so rough that everyone present was stunned.
　One of the first to react was one of the presumed minions that the leader had kept behind him.

"Who the hell is that?

　He took off his hooded cloak that seemed to be designed to hide his face and body and turn him into a mob.
　What emerged from underneath was a muscle.

　The man was wearing nothing but a short pair of pants under his cloak, even though it was the cold season. However, his pants were wrapped with several gold plates ...... and a magic talisman, a magic item for magical protection, as armor to protect his waist.
　He was smaller than a human adult, but his bulging muscles did not make him feel small at all. It is the ultimate in ideal muscles, like an art drawing model. Her hands are so big that she could grab Iris's waist with one hand. A stern face, a clean-shaven head, a beard like a wild rope.

　--One of Night Python's best "bouncers". Godot, the Dwarven fighter known as the Tiger Slayer.

　Godo closes the distance with a speed you wouldn't believe from his massive muscles. He seems to be the type of guy who knocks you down first and then tries to sort out the situation.
　Well, that may have been because Iris (Rene) was carrying a staff. Giving time to a sorcerer is suicide.

　How can you take on a sorcerer head-on? There are two main solutions.
　The first one is to send out a sorcerer as well.
　Second, beat them while they are blocking the magic with talismans.

　A few talismans will buy you enough time.
　And perhaps Godot can kill Iris with a single blow.
　Not even time to chant.

　You'll need to be able to use a few of these to get a good shot.

I'm not sure what to do.

　A rocky fist caught Iris (Rene) in the body.
　But the next moment, Godo's huge arm bleeds and blows away like it's going to burst from the inside.

"Ahhhh!

　Godo let out a wild scream. His arm was nothing but a wreck of flesh and skin dangling from his shoulder.

"Aaahhh!　My arm!　My arm!
I'm not sure what to make of this. It's a great idea.

　In contrast, Iris (Rene), who was supposed to have taken a clean hit, only staggered. It hurt enough, but...

　You'll be able to get a lot more out of it.
　This is a defensive buffing spell that reflects the impact of physical attacks, especially those caused by blows.
　Moreover, as is the case with spells with the name "extend", it is not as effective as normal spells, but once cast, the effect will remain for a certain amount of time.
　Since there is no need to maintain the spell, you can use other spells while benefiting from the buffs.

　Iris (Rene) used this spell in advance. I knew that the Bouncer didn't have any high level magicians, but I knew that they would have a lot of protection, so I took precautions.
　He knew that there were no sorcerers in the area, but he was sure that they had a lot of protection, so he took precautions.

"What? Guards!　Guards!
Guards!" "Calling won't help. While you're chattering away, I've wrapped this room in a ward that blocks out all sounds and signs.
"d*mn ......!

　The duke glares at Iris (Rene) with annoyance.
　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the best results. I borrowed the item from the Night Python headquarters.

　--I survived the first blow. The next step is to strip the entire defense.

"...... "Deathcloud"

　A reddish-black wind rises from Iris's staff.
　Then it spread like a swirling mist throughout the reception room.

This is ......!
"Countermagic Field!

　Finally, the defensive spell flew. The minions behind the duke and the chieftain each used a spell.
　A wave of magic enveloped the duke and his men, dispelling the blood-colored mist that brought death.



　≪It is a simple, effective and versatile defensive spell. It's a simple, effective, and versatile defense spell, but it's not very fuel efficient because it drains your magic power as much as it attacks you.

　--I guess the sorcerer was also keeping him in check.

　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I think it's a good idea.

What are you doing?
"Wait a minute. You're just along for the ride.
What ......?

　It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything you like. He may have been surprised that he was treated as an 'incidental' after such a spectacular intrusion, or he may have simply never experienced being treated as an 'incidental' by anyone in his life.

　Whatever the case, I'll put the Duke aside and deal with the more important matters first.

Hello, Mr. Night Python's boss, are you sure you're at ......? I tried to visit you at headquarters, but unfortunately you were out of town, so I came here.

　A questioning look appeared in the sheik's eyes.
　He doesn't seem to know what he's talking about.
　In addition, he probably never dreamed that Iris (Rene) destroyed Night Python's headquarters (hideout) and used magic to locate the leader's belongings and track him down to come here.

"Oh. He's the one who showed us the way. Give him a pat on the back.

　Iris (Rene) threw Derik's head, which was hanging in one hand.

　No one screamed at the sight of the head.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

　≪The time limit for the sorcerers who use the countermagic field and the talismans in their possession. If you don't defeat Iris (Rene) by then, you will die.
　However, Godo, who any layman would recognize as a fierce fighter, has just had one of his arms torn off by a mysterious spell. The guards are waiting to see what happens.

"Little girl. You want to kill me?　The price will be high.

　The leader sneered from behind the guards.
　It's not a threat, it's a confident statement of what will happen in the near future.

There's a price to pay,......, you know.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

　The magic energy blasted out in the form of a laser, and after a sound as if something soft was crushed, it hit the wall and burned it.

"Are you talking about this?
What?

　The old monster opened his mouth and revealed a surprised face.
　It must be extremely rare for a crime boss to make such a face, but I didn't feel like I had gained anything by seeing it.

　Iris (Rene) heard the sound of something falling from behind her and turned around.
　A woman who had tried to attack Iris (Rene) by disappearing with some kind of magic or magic item was lying on the ground. A magic item, like a stun gun or something, is lying beside her.

　One of Night Python's best "bouncers," the female assassin Est.
　You can find a lot of people who are looking for the best way to get the most out of their lives. You'll be able to find out what she looked like forever. There is no trace of her because she has already been magically wiped from the neck up.

　The disadvantage of the talisman is that it works indiscriminately. It also works on auxiliary spells, so you need to turn it off if you want to disappear with magic.
　In other words, Est, who was hiding, was unable to benefit from the talisman and had to choose between finishing her off before her strength was drained by the Deathcloud, or abandoning her advantage of seclusion and activating the talisman.
　The result was as you can see.

　Unfortunately, against Iris (Rene), who can sense the emotions of those around her, strategies such as hiding or surprise attacks are ineffective. Iris knew from the start that there was someone in the room who was hiding. She then countered when that person sneaked up behind her.

　--The two bouncers were defeated, but there was no one else who looked like a ...... bouncer. There's no one else that looks like them. You don't have enough time to take them all out with guards.
　　　So, the remaining threat is ......

Oh, no ......!　Not just Godot, but Est as well!
"Haha, you should have gotten a better bouncer. Go to ......, Brian.
"Ha!

　I'm not sure if you'll be able to find the right one for you.
　In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a number of things you can do.

　--The duke must have at least one powerful guard with him, right?

　The man who stepped forward was a picture of a man.
　He was already middle-aged, but his body was sturdy, and he was moving nimbly despite wearing heavy full-body armor. I don't think his armor is just a piece of cloth.
　His stance was regal, and more importantly, he didn't seem to have a shred of fear in this situation.

　The man called Brian observes Iris (Rene) as if he were appraising her.

I'm sure you've heard of her.
　Who are you? Who are you?

　Iris (Rene) almost blurted out when she realized that Brian was being serious.
　You're a legendary witch," he said.

I'm sorry, but I don't remember being a legendary witch.
　...... Rene "Rosy" Luvia Ciel-Teira.
　It is the name of an insignificant little girl who was killed for trivial reasons and who will now destroy everything.
