As expected, the ice spear thrown by Iri was easily dodged by Black Scripture.
It was thrown from such a long distance, purely by brute force, and Iri never expected to kill Black Scripture with a single ice spear.
Doing this was merely to lure them out and disperse their fighting strength. Furthermore, throwing an ice spear was also to imitate Irubyue, making them misunderstand that Blue Rose had come for revenge, which also served to create some disruption.
Sure enough... Black Scripture and another burly man wielding a great axe chased in this direction.
In her current state, Iri was like the brightest star in the sky; it would have been strange if she hadn't been discovered.
Black Scripture probably misunderstood that the attacker was Irubyue of Blue Rose! So he only brought one person to chase, while the other three remained on alert, which played right into Iri's hands.
Seeing Black Scripture and his companion chasing, Iri immediately activated Flying Magic to escape, during which she was also attacked by Black Scripture's magic.
Isn't this guy a warrior? He can actually use magic! I really can't underestimate him. This distance is just about right, perfect for taking advantage of!
So Iri pretended to take a magic arrow he shot, but before the magic arrow touched her, Iri had already activated the amulet Albedo gave her, directly nullifying the magic arrow's damage and activating magic resistance mode.
She could withstand nine more magic attacks; there was no need to worry about physical attacks. Death Knight wasn't here, so as long as Black Scripture and the burly man's physical attacks didn't hit her, she would be fine.
After actively "taking" the magic arrow Black Scripture shot, Iri feigned injury and then fell.
Before she even landed, Iri immediately deactivated all previously activated magic scrolls and simultaneously activated the High-Tier Teleportation Magic scroll she had been holding.
After the magic scroll was activated, Iri instantly teleported back to where she had ambushed them earlier.
Hmmph! The place where I just pretended to fall was a small patch of woods. Black Scripture and that uncle, you two can go ahead and search for the "corpse" in there! Now, I'll start with the remaining three!
Iri was secretly delighted, never expecting her little trick to go so smoothly. So she stealthily moved towards the Black Scripture's encampment.
"Who's there!" The blond guy reacted very quickly. Wasn't he a summoner? He sensed movement and, without even a greeting, a fireball was flung over.
Iri, still in magic resistance mode, naturally wasn't afraid of this. She swaggered out and took the fireball to the face.
Of course, as soon as the fireball touched Iri, it exploded. The blond guy probably didn't expect anyone to be so straightforward as to take it to the face!
He himself was stunned, but after the fiery explosion receded, Iri was seen standing before them, completely unharmed.
There was the blond One-Man Army, a Handsome guy carrying a Greatsword, and finally, a woman in a cloak.
Uh? Strange, Black Scripture didn't bring Holy Hymn, the healer, this time?
So who is this cloaked woman? Another member of Black Scripture? Looking at her sickly appearance, she doesn't seem like a melee type.
"Yo! Hello everyone." Iri quickly formulated an attack plan after scanning the remaining three.
She could still resist eight magic attacks. Of the three in front of her, only the Handsome guy with the Greatsword was a physical type.
The blond One-Man Army was a summoner, and blocking his attacks would be simple. That left the woman who was likely a magic caster.
So, she would feign an attack on the blond guy, making the Greatsword Hunk shift his attention to the blond guy, and then take down the woman.
After all, the woman's profession was currently unknown. What if she was a new healer recruited by Black Scripture?
"It's you! The one we met in Wu Da Forest last time! Unmatched Warrior Mokoredd! Be careful of her! She's someone who can fight the Young Lady to a standstill!" The blond guy's face turned pale upon seeing Iri. He still couldn't forget their encounter in Wu Da Forest.
The Handsome guy with the Greatsword immediately took a combat stance, and the sickly woman also obediently retreated to the very back.
It was obvious she was a backline profession, basically confirming her as a magic caster, though it was unknown if she was an offensive or supportive type.
Then the blond guy also began chanting spells, and several magic circles appeared around him. It seemed he was about to summon. Just waiting for you to summon!
"Summon Delay!" Iri shouted, and the glowing magic circles seemed to freeze, all stopping their operation.
The blond guy was greatly alarmed, never expecting that someone who could fight Death Knight to a draw in close combat could also use magic.
However, in reality, when Iri was approaching, she had dropped a Summon Delay magic scroll at her entry point. It could be activated instantly with a command, so Iri didn't need to pull out a scroll to activate the delay magic, making them misunderstand that Iri was a magic caster.
"Sorry! Brother, if I let you summon, I'd be in trouble, so I'll have to ask you to die first! Ice Spear!!" Iri generated an ice spear in her hand and threw it at the blond guy. Of course... it was still thrown with her brute strength.
The Handsome guy with the Greatsword naturally directly raised his sword to block in front of the blond guy. Perfect, that sickly woman now had no one to protect her! Pure Throwing Spear locked on!
"Gowena, use that quickly!!" The Handsome guy with the Greatsword cleaved down the ice spear Iri had thrown with a single swing, then shouted.
Iri hadn't even had time to marvel that the Greatsword Hunk was quite strong to be able to cleave down the ice spear she threw with one swing!
She then saw a strange golden light flashing from beneath the sickly woman's cloak, and the cloak itself fluttered because of it.
Damn! This is bad!! Iri saw what the golden light under the sickly woman's cloak was. At this moment, Iri knew she had messed up.
If Iri truly wanted to eliminate them cleanly, she only needed to use an Attack Magic Effect Amplification scroll and then throw a Pure Throwing Spear at them, which would evaporate them along with the surrounding environment.
Or, simply activate Skyfall, crush a hourglass, and wipe them all out at once, which would be even more convenient. Ultimately, it was her own overconfidence and carelessness... Was the flag she planted earlier really going to be collected here?
What Iri saw under the woman's cloak was a white cheongsam with a golden dragon printed on it. Yes... it was the very thing Iri worried about most and feared most: Falling Beauty of a Nation!
But! I won't give up so easily! The red magic circle of Pure Throwing Spear's lock-on was already imprinted on the woman's chest!
I'll activate the throwing spear to pierce her through, at least to prevent this guy from brainwashing me and controlling me!
At least let myself become a neutral monster like Shalltear was back then! With my Six God-Tier Items, it won't be that easy for Theocracy to take me back! The rest can only rely on Ainz-papa to kill me and then revive me...
Iri thought this and then activated Pure Throwing Spear. At the moment of activation... Iri suddenly remembered something: her body was created after her transmigration.
She didn't know if she could be revived! What if she died and it was truly over?
Hmm! Revival?? Iri remembered something at this moment...
But, Falling Beauty of a Nation had already been activated, and that golden dragon was already charging at Iri, baring its fangs and claws! No time to think!
"Pure Throwing Spear! Double Shot!!" Finally, Iri shouted, and just as the golden dragon struck Iri, the sickly woman was also pierced through by Iri's Pure Throwing Spear.
