Speed... This characteristic is naturally quite important, and Hehe's speed is undoubtedly very fast. In fact, there are many exceptions who are not as fast as her due to race or other reasons.

However, this does not mean that those outside the sect have no way to defend against her attacks... Once someone becomes an outsider, their almost immortal regenerative ability is the biggest obstacle.

Now, the same applies even when facing Iraq.

...

In fact, Hehe is not weak at all; on the contrary, she is extremely strong. The low temperature she creates, the speed and destructive power she displays, would allow her to achieve victory even if she were to face the five legends that Ira once confronted.

Even with the strongest power, it can cause destruction similar to that of the [Crimson Nova - Comet of Disaster] that Ira produced when it was mutated.

Even if any governor has so many monsters around them as ammunition, they may not necessarily be able to gain an advantage under Hehe's command, because that is... the governor's limit.

But that was not Iraq's limit.

Ira is the chief governor not because he was the first governor, which is why many monsters suffer from "Ira phobia" rather than "governor phobia" (although they are still afraid)

Iraq doesn't need the title of "Consul" to prove his legendary life; on the contrary... all consuls need Iraq. The title of "Consul" is merely Iraq's crown, not a reason for him to wear the laurel.

The weak are not weak, it's just that... the strong get stronger.

"boom!!!"

Ira, traversing the distance in mid-air, unleashed a sonic boom and a fist brimming with explosive flames, slamming it into the ice blade that Hehe had barely managed to raise. As the ice spike shattered, the immense destructive force also forced Hehe to stagger backward.

Because the two were moving so fast, the surrounding audience seemed to stand still. Even when the ice spikes were shattered, the rapidly exploding ice shards and the icy backward flight all seemed to be in slow motion.

In this slow-motion scene, the only one that appears to be moving normally is Iraq... Even Hehe, compared to Iraq, looks like a frail old man.

Then, immediately, came the second punch...

"boom!"

The crimson flames struck Hehe's barely crossed arms, which he was using for defense. The immense force slammed him into the ground, and then, as if in slow motion, he bounced back up after hitting the ground.

Of course, neither Hehe nor the ground has such elasticity. What made her bounce back was a layer of ice film on her body, just like the shield that Ira used to protect the elven girl... Hehe would have something similar.

This is not a rare skill.

"boom!!!"

But Hehe, who had bounced up, was immediately slammed to the ground by Ira's hammer, followed by a third blow and a fourth slam. In fact, due to the successive heavy punches, Hehe's body bounced higher and higher.

During this time, all Hehe could do was mobilize a large number of Manas to reinforce her own defenses. She quickly calculated the situation... She could tell that Ira's current state would not last long.

But can she really hold on until that moment?

"Zzzzz~ Boom!!!"

Hehe, who was constantly replenishing his shield, suddenly felt an explosion. This explosion did not come from the outside, but from inside his own shield... Why did it explode from the inside?!

In her rapid thought, she recalled the scorch marks left on her body by the flames that Ira had thrown earlier... Could there be a restless Mana hiding among those attacks?

Instead of choosing direct burst damage back then, you opted to expend Mana in a completely unprofitable "Lie Down" phase, all for this moment? To disrupt my defense at this crucial moment?!

Hehe's eyes widened as she realized that due to the interruption in replenishing Mana, the shield around her body was now riddled with invisible cracks and was in a precarious state.

Oh no, we need to restore the supply of mana quickly!

The moment Hehe was thinking this, Ira's final hammer blow fell, slowly striking the ground as time flowed by in the slow world. Hehe, who was then uncontrollably bounced up, had his external defenses shatter into ice shards.

At this moment, she was slowly descending in front of Ira.

"..."

The frenzied, scarlet Mana gathered in Ira's hand. He, who had always attacked with casual and elegant movements, suddenly pulled his right hand back, like a bow ready to be drawn.

"Wait...wait...I admit it..."

Before Hehe could finish speaking...

"BOOM!!! ...

"..."

"..."

A blue figure enveloped in crimson flames was sent flying backward amidst a deafening explosion, leaving a trench several meters deep in the arena, which had already been partially eroded... before crashing into the edge of the arena and coming to a stop.

Ira stood still, watching the edge of the smoke-filled arena... The victor seemed to be a foregone conclusion.

The world returned to normal, or rather... the world had always been normal, but it had to proceed in a slow manner to depict Ira's battle.

To onlookers, all they could guess was that Ira and Hehe engaged in a super-fast exchange of blows (wrong guess, it was actually a brutal beating), and then Ira landed a fatal punch on Hehe.
