Black Iron Magician Chapter 432

Ursula's Unique Skill, 『Blood Lord Wrath』, is not so different from the other sisters that it activates with her own blood as the medium. In a nutshell, her ability is an explosion. The blood that circulates through her body is like an explosive that can blow away a hundred monsters with a single drop. Its power is based on the feeling of anger that Ursula has. The angrier she gets, the more powerful the explosives will be. Just like how Katarina imitated her, she can covert her blood into sweats, which can be vaporized and scattered in the air, enabling her to shoot the bomb. Not only her status is high, but she is also the best at using her blood ability among the sisters.

The more Lilyvia dodges Ursula's bombing attack, the more intense the explosion becomes. Maria's barrier will be regenerated instantly the moment it's destroyed, so she has no problem with her foothold. But at this rate, she can't get closer.

(It may be not my place to say this as the one who provoked her, but Ursuloneesama is really pissed off, huh. Also, my locking technique is a bad match against her explosion…!)

Alezel, who once confronted Ursula, also knew about this explosive ability in advance and hated it terribly. After all, even if she successfully steals Ursula's pieces of meat, they will all explode as soon as she steals them. The same could be said for Lilyvia. She can't use her locking technique since Ursula would explode, making her technique a bad move. Lilyvia understands this, and she is wondering how she should attack.

「Are you not coming? Are you just all talk?」

「You're so impatient, Onee-sama. Why don't you enjoy this time more? Or do you want to move to the main event even though you're inexperienced? Jeez, you're making that dignified face, but you're actually lewd. How cute~ ♪」

「…… It seems that you can't keep your mouth shut, huh.」

「Whoa!?」

Lilyvia deliberately makes Ursula angry and devotes herself to avoiding the attacks at full speed. The increase in anger means the increase in power. Lilyvia understands this and she came up with a strategy to reduce the accuracy of the attacks.

(When I attack, rather than getting hit by a half-assed firepower counterattack, it's better to avoid the super-firepower counterattack with spirit! I won't get hurt after all!)

With that in mind, Lily continues to provoke Ursula even though her aim is obvious. But as Lilyvia expected, Ursula seems to be steadily building up her anger gauge.

「I will erase you without a trace!」

「Then, I can't let it hit me!」

Lily read the trajectory of the bombing and rushed at Ursula at full speed. The trajectory is violent, but the bombing can't beat Lily's speed when she's serious. Her afterimages were swallowed by the explosion, but the real Lily was already close to Ursula.

「Hah!」

「Ugh!」

Lily's fist accurately hit Ursula's jaw. Rather than damaging the body, it was an attack that shook the brain to knock her unconscious, just as she had done to Katarina. Immediately after the attack, Lily got away from the spot with light footwork.

―――― BAAAAAM!

There was a sudden explosion. The explosion occurred at the place where Lily was, and it was immediately after Lily's attack.

「…… You avoided it, huh? You sure are fast at running away.」

Ursula muttered so while cracking her neck. Unfortunately, it seems that Lily's objective wasn't achieved. On the contrary, Ursula even had the time to launch a counterattack. It was quite dangerous if Lily didn't retreat after attacking.

「Ugh, I hit you pretty hard, but why are you still energetic? It was enough to make Katarinoneesama faint, though…」

「Don't lump me together with Katarina. That's an unforgivable insult.」

Around Ursula, an ominous anger aura emerged. Apparently, the anger gauge has risen one step further.

(Well, I don't think they are on the same level, not even a little. I learned that attack from watching Haru-chan and mastered it, but Ursuloneesama's steel skin is too hard! I was hoping that if she lost her consciousness even for a moment, I could sneak into her dreams and give her nightmares…. Well, this might be a little tough. If I go too far, I will receive a counterattack like before. It's probably best to play it safe.)

Lilyvia was thinking about her next plan from a distance, but none of the possible tactics are decisive. If she decided to launch a suicide attack, she might get a lucky punch, but before that, the possibility of defeat or serious injury leading to her own death was overwhelmingly high. Of course, she has no intention of making such a choice, and she decided to take a safe strategy to buy time.

「Hey, are you thinking about something in the middle of the fight?」

Lily thought that she had kept enough distance to respond to the bombing. However, before she knew it, Ursula was right in front of her. Lilyvia is better in terms of speed, but her reaction was slightly delayed.

(Damn…! She uses it similar to that of Nell…!)

Ursula's palms have burn marks as if they were caught in the explosion. And currently, there's still an explosion behind her. Yes, just as Nell accelerates with her own flames, Ursula accelerates with her explosion.

It's a double-edged move that also damages herself. However, it seems that Ursula also has 『Regeneration』 skill, so the burns on her hands are already recovering. And more than that, Lilyvia, who allowed Ursula to approach her, is in trouble.

(Ah, crap――)

Sparks scattered around Lilyvia and Ursula, a faint sign of an explosion. It's a self-destruction attack. Even if Lilyvia wants to avoid it, she needs to at least sacrifice one of her arms.

「――Tou!」

「Gah!?」

「Eh?」

――――BAAAAAAM!

However, the explosion that engulfed Lily didn't occur. No, an explosion did occur, but it wasn't the explosion that she expected. A mysterious straw doll suddenly intervened between Lily and Ursula and stuck to Ursula's face, and for some reason, the straw doll itself exploded instead of the surrounding area. The damage caused by the explosion was minimal, and seemed to be limited to the extent that it engulfed the face of Ursula. But well, it was unbearable for Ursula who was hit by the explosion directly.

「Envious, how envious….」

「T-That voice is… Odile-oneesama!?」

After successfully retreating, Lilyvia turned to the direction of the voice and saw the figure of Odile Irygal, who should have escaped from the battle against Therese and the others. Also, she saw that Odile's head was a little swollen.

「…… What's with that bump on your head?」

「Don't ask.」
