Unlimited Fafnir:Volume 8 Chapter 4
Chapter 4 - Neun of Blue-Nine
Part 1
Iris Freyja already understood. Because it was about herself, she understood what had caused her own transformation.
It was—whenever she sought power. Whenever she wanted to acquire and use stronger power than before.
Long ago, she already had a feeling that using Catastrophe would speed up the changes in her body.
However, for the sake of protecting her comrades—protecting those dear to her—to avenge her teacher, she made full use of the power she had inherited from Basilisk.
"Catastrophe—Actualiiiiiize!!"
Even without using the zoom function of her goggles, she could still see Kraken Zwei's gigantic body, not simply because of the target's large size but also due to the fact that her own vision had improved.
The red flash of light struck as intended, weathering away the shield of mithril.
Also, she was aware that the more she used Catastrophe, the more the hardened parts of her skin—the areas covered by red scales—would spread.
It felt so scary, so repulsive.
But her attack must not stop.
—Because this is the one thing I can do!!
She used her total power, striking down Kraken Zwei, which had escaped into the air, to crash on the ground.
But that was already her limit. The red glow of time-stealing light vanished from her hand.
"...!"
Almost there, just a tiny bit more. She shed tears of chagrin.
'Don't worry, Iris.'
His gentle voice spoke from the communicator.
"Mononobe...?"
'The rest—leave it all to me.'
Leaving these words behind, he headed , but—
'Urgh... Ahhhhhhhhhh!?'
After a while, what she heard was a mournful cry that made her want to cover up her ears. It was his scream.
"Mononobe!? What happened? Mononbe, answer me!!"
Although she cried out desperately, there was no response. Was the communicator broken? Or he did not have the leisure to answer?
But all she knew was that someone important—someone whose existence was more important than anything—was in a crisis.
Iris Freyja's sniping location was a cliff with excellent visibility where Firill had transported her. It was quite far away from the location where he and Kraken Zwei were fighting.
Unable to fly, it was impossible for her to head to the rescue immediately.
Indeed—Precisely because it was impossible, she wished for new power.
—Even though she knew clearly that it would turn herself into something further from human.
