Black Iron Magician Chapter 430

The magnificent windowpanes, decorations facing the walls, and the chandeliers on the ceiling are all spectacular. However, if they are stained red like the others, their beauty is halved. There's a ballroom in the center of Crocus Castle. Because of its purpose as a dance hall, there's no obstruction on the floor. It is a vast space that would take an ordinary person a considerable amount of time to run through it. In normal times, this place is used as a social gathering place for royalty and nobility, and is open to the public during festivals. But now that it is in the middle of the war, it is wrapped in silence.

In particular, the center of the hall, where Lilyvia and a maid dressed in a bewitching appearance are facing each other, is eerily quiet. Both of them only looked at each other, and they did not speak or move. The staring contest continued for about 10 minutes, and the heavy air continued to worsen. The floor of the ballroom is very sturdy, but it is about time for it to creak.

「… Hey, how long are we going to stare at each other? I don't have that kind of hobby, you know?」

It was the maid who first opened her mouth to break the heavy air. She has long silver hair that reaches her voluptuous breasts, and her skirt is much shorter than the other maids. Her outfit is a showy purple color, and her breasts are exposed. From these factors, it's clear that she's one of the Irygal Sisters. Her name is Katarina Irygal, the fourth sister of the Irygal Sisters.

「Ha? I also don't have that kind of hobby, you know? Also, stop that unnecessary exposure now. It's making my eyes rot. I've been telling you so with my eyes from a while ago.」

「Ha? What are you, the ruler of the red-light district, talking about? Before that, you sure have the nerve to leave me and put your hands on lust. Also, you sure have the nerve to call yourself the Great Eight Demons even though you're just Lilyvia. Don't get carried away.」

「Haa? Do you think you can become the Great Eight Demons and a ruler just because you're lustful? That's why you still can't leave Mama's side. Ah, I'm sorry. Did I just tell the truth? I just did, right?」

「Haa? You're just a slothful, incompetent woman who does nothing but sleep every day. Unlike you, I have a lot of experience. I even received more envy from Odile than you. You don't even have any good points to be envied, you know?」

「No, no, I received more than you. It seems that your eyes were rotten. Sorry.」

「No, no, no, don't make me repeat it. I received more. Also, the one that's rotten is your head. You're so rotten that even Riara rejects you.」

「「――I'll kill you!」」

Veins popped on their right arms, and at the next moment, the two collided head-on. The moment their fists met, there was a tremendous shockwave in the ballroom, and the shock spread through the walls. Maria's barrier barely protected them, but the chandeliers and other decorations were shaking so badly that they looked as if they might fall at any moment. Apparently, the silence a moment ago was a miraculous illusion.

The impact of the full power fist fight continued, and the sound became a din. After several blows, they accumulated their power and launched their fists at the same time.

「Haa!」

「Daah!」

The meat was torn and the bones were crushed. However, they did not stop at that level of intense pain. Immediately afterward, they held each other's injured hands and got into a posture for a contest of strength. They also headbutted each other, and that clearly looks painful.

「In the first place, why are you the one who came to my place…!? Not only that you're a woman, but you're also my stupid younger sister…!」

「Too bad for you…! As for me, I'm happy to meet you, Katarinoneesama…! I mean, I can't let Goshujin-sama meet a promiscuous woman like you..!」

While they are at it, they are also abusing each other. Still, it doesn't change the fact that they are in pain, and their eyes are somewhat teary.

「G-Goshujin-sama, you said!? Even though you're just Lilyvia, you sure have the nerve to get someone like that before me! Introduce that man to me! I will steal him from you!」

「Not only your eyes, but are your ears rotten as well, huh!? There's no way I will introduce him to you! I will dispose of a sex mania like you right here, right now!」

It seems that they are equal in both physical strength and argument, and neither of them has the intention to give up. The floor finally began to scream, and Maria's barrier was on the verge of breaking.

「Just kidding.」

「Wha!?」

However, the floor wasn't destroyed. Just before that, Lilyvia's movement changed. Not only relying on pure power, but she also uses martial arts―― she uses aiki to ward off the attack. Katarina is slammed headfirst to the floor and she feels intense pain in her head. Moreover, Lily's attack is not over yet. Without a moment's pause, Lily grabs Katarina's arm and uses a locking technique.

「Ow ow ow!? H-Hey, it hurts!?」

「Of course it hurts. I'm completely locking you after all. There.」

Katarina raised a scream that can't be put into words. Only one of her arms is sealed, so it looks as if she can fight back if she resists with all her might. However, Lilyvia's technique, which she learned by watching Haruna's martial arts up close, inflicts so much pain that doesn't allow Katarina to do even that. It's an imitation of Haruna's technique, which was released from her overwhelming potential. There was no way it could come off easily.

「Ugh…! W-When, did you…!? Even though, you were always, sleeping…!?」

「It's exactly because of that. Sleep is the source of life! 『Pleasant Sleep』 is important!」

「That's ridiculous…!?」

Speaking of 『Pleasant Sleep』 skill, Haruna's previous training method might come to mind. Children who sleep well will grow up, and the time spent sleeping is not wasted. Under this belief, Haruna chose this skill at the recommendation of Deris. But in fact, the founder of this training method was Lilyvia. Moreover, her training is a bit different.

It is already a well-known fact that Lilyvia's life is basically spent sleeping. She sleeps whenever and wherever she has free time. It is probably still fresh in her memory that she has sometimes been amazed by her loved one (Deris), sometimes by her rival (Nell), and sometimes by her disciple (Touko). However, Lily wasn't just sleeping.

With the power of her Unique Skill 『Morpheus』, Lily is able to enter into dreams and work within them. Depending on the target's mental strength and Lily's condition, it is possible to do whatever she wants in various ways. In fact, it is used for a wide variety of purposes, such as information gathering and manipulation activities requested by Deris, and the Sleeping Fist she used previously. Lily also uses this ability in her daily sleep, training herself in her dreams as she sleeps.

The effect of 『Pleasant Sleep』 is to bring a powerful recovery effect to sleep activity. Lily has its highest rank skill, so its effectiveness is even greater. In the dream, it's possible for her to recreate a situation that's impossible in reality, such as recreating Maria according to her memory and fighting her. In other words, Lily can do all kinds of training while resting her body. This method of training is only possible for Lily, but conversely, there is no better place for her to train.

「If Touko-chan and Hund are growing, I'm still growing too. Even my breasts will surely grow as much as Nell―― no, in fact, they are growing! It's your loss for thinking I was the same as I was before!」

「Gaaaah!」

Everything is to become a mistress worthy of Deris, a mistress who can compete with Nell. And Lilyvia was working hard in secret to overthrow her bothersome sisters, especially this Katarina. It's no lie to say that the Great Eight Demons Lilyvia is still growing.
