"Be careful, human... It seems very impolite to keep calling you human. What should I call you?"
As Hilder, the Ice Demon Queen, spoke, a long, translucent blue spear materialized beside her, accumulating terrifying power. The spear was aimed directly at Ira, and the frost-covered spots around it testified to just how dangerous this concentrated Mana's extreme cold was.
The moment the words fell, almost instantly, the ice spear shot out, buzzing in the air, and disappeared from its original spot... Because it flew so fast, all that could be seen was the flashing blue sky.
"Bang!"
Ira swiftly waved his hand, his arm covered in scarlet mana swung through the air, deflecting the ice spear that seemed to automatically collide with his hand, causing it to explode on the ground, bursting into an ice crystal flower with a radius of three or four meters.
Even in that brief moment of contact, a thin layer of frost covered Ira's arm, though it was melted away by the intense heat in the next instant... but it still made it clear that the Ice Queen Hilder was not an opponent that could be easily dealt with.
While it wouldn't put Ira in a "hard battle," it was certainly not an opponent he could treat with a "playful" attitude... Although Ira never underestimated the battle itself until victory was secured.
"Ira".
As Ira spoke, her gaze lingered on the ice flower on the ground for a moment, then she released flames that melted the ice flower that was standing on the ground... This action made the Ice Queen Hilder pause for a moment, then she immediately laughed.
“A keen sense of smell, Ira.”
In response to Hilder's praise, Ira nodded and said, "Indeed, everyone I know says so. How should I address you?"
Despite Ira's unreserved acceptance, Hilder, the Ice Demon Queen and Crowned Grassis, continued to smile, replying, "Just call me 'Hehe,' it's a name I gave myself very casually."
Iraq cannot deny this.
"It is indeed a very casual name."
According to Ira, Shirina and Satan had been waiting for ages in the front row of VIP seats, but they hadn't seen the two of them actually fight... Instead, they seemed to be flirting, constantly looking each other up and down.
Are they looking for a flaw? Or something else...? Anyway, neither Sirina nor Satan could really tell.
However, Ira is not such a tasteless person. He is not like the masters of the past, who would play background music to build up the atmosphere and then spend a long time looking for a weakness.
Ira and the other party share the same thought: how much power should be used to defeat the opponent without seriously injuring them?
This is the most troublesome aspect of "sparring".
But the Ice Demon Queen named [Hehe] seemed to find a suitable moment the instant Ira finished speaking, and then her figure... vanished from the sight of Sirina and Satan Ye!
However, the instant the opponent disappeared, Ira had already made an attack move.
"boom!!!"
When [Hehe] reappeared, she was still in a leaping attack stance, and a blue ice spike had appeared in her hand. She held it and stabbed at Ira... but it was stopped in mid-air by the flames thrown by Ira.
Then, in the next instant, he was forced back by the ring of fire that erupted around Ira.
"Wow, your speed... is incredible."
Iraq spoke casually.
“You are the one who… your reaction is too fast for a human being… Ira!”
Hehe had an excited smile on his face, and then he made one charge after another, almost flashing to Ira's side, but each attack was repelled by Ira.
However, she continued her offensive relentlessly... Each time, Ira managed to leave fiery wounds on her body. It wasn't that Ira didn't want to unleash a massive burst of flames to secure victory, but her opponent was indeed very fast.
This is not flattery... During the time it took for Ira to pinpoint the opponent's location and launch his attack, Ira was indeed only allowed to condense an attack of this level, but he was not in a hurry.
This also means that the opponent can only prepare that level of attack... allowing Ira to easily repel them.
This is the [wingspan]. It's the extent that Mana can achieve with her current effort. It's roughly equivalent to a partial exertion by the strongest group of legends, about evenly matched... And judging from Satan Ye's expression, Mana is probably expending her energy very quickly.
"Boom!"
"bump!"
Amidst the relentless attacks, the temperature in this enormous arena gradually dropped, and the surrounding area transformed into a frosty landscape... The previously insignificant ice flower emanating a chilling aura experienced the same effect.
Visibly, Hehe's speed is still increasing...
The ice spear, deflected by Iraq, exploded on the ground, leaving an ice mark that gradually grew larger... Had Iraq actually fallen into a disadvantageous position? Or was Iraq holding back?
In this respect, Ira and the other party are actually the same... The former, after all, needs something from the other party and would prefer to take over the Demon King's castle peacefully. The latter, although aware of Ira's strength, is more worried about the subordinates in the surrounding stands.
If the two of them were to go all out, the lives of those onlookers would probably be in danger. However, it is clear that Ira is holding back to a greater extent... As for how much more, only Ira himself knows at this moment.
