I was actually calculated just like that! Damn it, it seems the head of Theocracy is really not easy to deal with. She immediately found my weakness and exploited it. Such a person is much harder to handle than someone overly smart like the Blood Emperor.
Complaining is complaining, but since I've already agreed, I have to bite the bullet and complete the task. I just hope that after I complete this task, that old man won't go back on his word.
However, for now, I still don't know what I'm supposed to do in Dragon Kingdom. It says'support'... From the literal meaning, it should just be helping Dragon Kingdom repel the invasion of Beast Kingdom, right? If it's just simply fighting, Iri is quite good at that.
While Iri was pondering the problem, she followed behind the attendant who had brought her here earlier, completely unaware of the dangerous person walking towards her.
Uh... it said they would assign people to me. To support Dragon Kingdom, they should assign some tough characters, right? Honestly, if it's just fighting, too many people would actually be inconvenient.
After all, if someone is watching me, my actions would indeed be inconvenient. I still want to find a chance to go back to Nazarick!
Iri, engrossed in thought, completely ignored the dangerous person radiating dark aura who was about to cross paths with her.
No, even if I'm alone, I probably still can't go back to Nazarick. Thinking about it from the Pope's position, she would definitely call Astrology Thousand Miles to monitor me.
Uh... before they give me complete trust, I can only be careful.
"Hoh... so what Gelos said is true!" The dangerous person stopped after brushing past Iri, turned her head, and said leisurely.
Iri, deep in thought, didn't even notice who had just passed by. Only after hearing that very familiar voice did Iri come back to her senses, look up, and see the trembling attendant in front of her, and the unspoken pressure behind her.
At this moment, Iri's instinct told her not to look back. Just pretend she didn't see anything. Yes! Didn't see anything, sorry! Just passing by! Excuse me, gotta go!
Iri quickly sped up, wanting to slip away...
"Hey! You, the Chest Monster over there! You saw me and didn't even say hello?" The unusually terrifying voice from behind said.
No choice... Iri originally didn't want to cause trouble, but since you've come knocking to provoke, then I don't need to be polite with her!
Hmm... quickly act like a coward first!
"Um... elder sister, are you talking to me?" Iri feigned an innocent look, as if she didn't know what was happening, and turned her head, only to see Death Knight staring at her with a half-smile, half-scowl expression.
"Heh... 'elder sister,' your mouth is quite sweet, isn't it? Even so... even so, don't think I'll let you off!!" As soon as Death Knight finished speaking, she pounced directly with bared fangs and claws, pushing Iri to the ground, and directly straddling Iri. Without another word, she raised her fist and smashed it towards Iri's face.
Iri naturally wouldn't let Death Knight beat her for free. She also directly reached out and tightly gripped Death Knight's fist, but Death Knight swung her other hand over. Iri also blocked it with her other hand, and so... the two became entangled.
"This... elder sister, I've lost my past memories. If I offended you before, I apologize! There's no need... to resort to violence like this!" Iri said with great difficulty.
Iri wasn't faking it; this person's grip was truly strong. Iri almost had to use all her strength to barely hold Death Knight's fist.
"Hehe! Don't use amnesia as an excuse! Even if you die! Turn into ash! I will dig you out and step on you!" Death Knight put on a twisted smile and said with considerable excitement.
"This... elder sister!! If you keep this up! I'm going to hug Jin... Ah! No, I'm going to fight back!" Iri was also a bit annoyed. I just mocked you, right? Is it really necessary to be like this?
"Fight back? You still want to fight back?? Ah hahaha... show me!" Death Knight looked at Iri, now pinned to the ground and unable to move, finding it ridiculous that she was still talking about fighting back.
"You said it yourself, elder sister! I'm telling you! My..." Iri deliberately didn't finish her sentence. The last few words were just a movement of her lips, without making a sound.
"Hmm? Your?" The confident Death Knight naturally leaned closer.
"My head is very hard!!" Iri saw her lean in, then used both hands to pull Death Knight's arms downwards with force, and delivered a 'Kamikaze Headbutt' to her forehead.
That wasn't all. When Death Knight pushed her down, she had deliberately tilted her body slightly while being pressed against the floor. This way, even if Death Knight was straddling her thighs, intending to restrict her movement, her legs still had room to move.
Just after giving her a headbutt, Iri seized the opportunity to continue twisting her body, allowing her legs more room to move. She quickly pulled one leg out, then unceremoniously delivered a fierce kick to Death Knight's non-existent chest, directly sending her flying.
After Iri kicked Death Knight away, she immediately scrambled to her feet. Death Knight instantly recovered, her gaze at Iri becoming even more vicious, and her smile even more twisted.
"Well done, Chest Monster!"
"Elder sister, please don't go too far!" Iri said.
Originally... Death Knight herself just mentioned Gelos, right? It's clear she knows about the amnesia. So for Death Knight to just attack without explanation, what else is that if not going too far? I just mocked you a little, right? How can there be so much resentment!
"I... am I going too far?! Do you think I'm going too far?!" Death Knight cast her gaze towards the attendant trembling to the side. The attendant first nodded, then seeing Death Knight's extremely displeased scowl, immediately changed to shaking his head.
"Is this not going too far? I don't know what personal grudge you had with the past me. The current me is willing to apologize to you, but you attacked me without giving any reason! If you can give a reasonable reason, and if I truly did something wrong, I'll stand here and let you hit me, no problem! But where's the reason? You attacked without saying anything! What is that if not going too far?" Iri said.
"Reason... reason..." Death Knight was momentarily speechless.
"That's right! Reason! Reason... What did I do to you before?! To the point where you want to hit me now? If you don't give a reason, I won't let you succeed easily!" Iri continued, adopting an attitude of resisting to the end.
"That's... you... you... you said I... said I..." Death Knight stammered.
Hmmph... I didn't expect Death Knight to have such an unexpected side; she was led astray so easily. It seems that while Death Knight's combat power is very strong, her brain and emotional intelligence are not very good.
"Said what?" Iri continued to 'press' her righteously.
"You used to call me Heigen elder sister!!" Death Knight shouted in exasperation.
"Pfft..." The attendant watching the show from the side couldn't hold it in and let out a comical laugh, then seeing Death Knight's murderous gaze fixed on him, he immediately shrank back.
