I've played enough; it's time to wrap things up!
Most importantly, I got to properly test my strength, and I think it's alright!
Picking up a stone that I definitely couldn't have lifted before was easy, and I could flatten that Mountain Giant's head with just a stone.
This also allowed me to test how strong I actually am. But wait, wasn't I supposed to be a magic caster? Why do I have such immense strength?
Alright, let's finish up! How should I deal with them?
Should I just use Despair Aura to instantly kill them all, like in the original work? Or should I come up with some new and creative way to finish them off?
Just as Iri was considering how to collect this wave of experience points, she glanced at the Mountain Giant, which had already regenerated.
"Despicable! Despicable!!!" It was still prattling on. Fine!
"You seem quite unconvinced, don't you? Alright, I'll give you one more chance. Get up!" Iri said, then dispelled the Ruling Spell.
"I'll kill you, human!!!" As soon as the green Mountain Giant could move, it immediately scrambled to its feet, swinging its greatsword down at Iri.
Although I really don't like using this, I should continue to do another test. After all, opportunities like this are rare, and I need to test my physical capabilities.
"Justice Descends!" Iri called out softly, sounding a bit weak. Then, a white light enveloped Iri. When the greatsword struck Iri, Iri, now clad in Champion Armor, caught the greatsword with just one hand.
Good! Test complete!
The natives' weapons indeed cannot harm this armor, and I caught the blade with just one hand, without it even budging. It seems I'm more like a warrior than a magic caster!
Iri originally quite liked this kind of popular trope, where a magical girl transforms and then puts on equipment.
The problem is that her transformation doesn't turn her into a magical girl of love and courage who uses various spells to punish bad guys. Instead, she becomes a heavy-physical version of a "magical" girl of blood and violence, who carries stones and smashes people's heads.
This made it very difficult for Iri to accept.
As Iri was lost in thought, her hand remained firmly gripped on the giant blade the Mountain Giant had swung down. The Mountain Giant, holding the sword hilt with both hands, tried to pull the giant blade back, but it wouldn't budge.
"Let go!! You human!!" The Mountain Giant shouted.
"Oh!" Iri immediately released her grip, and then saw the Mountain Giant, who had pulled too hard, fall backward, its grip on the giant blade lost, sending it flying behind him.
"All of you!! Attack me!" The Mountain Giant immediately ordered the other Ogres and Giants after getting up, but who would listen to him? They were all scared stiff by Iri's brutal actions earlier!
"Come at me all at once? Alright! I'm in a hurry, so come at me together!" Iri was filled with melancholy, realizing she was straying further and further from being a magic caster.
The Ogres and Giants dared not, turning and fleeing backward. Only then did Iri react; she couldn't let them escape! Their corpses were needed for the next step of the plot!!
Furious, Iri immediately picked up the stone she had just used to smash heads and threw it directly at the fastest-running Ogre.
Then, a sound like a cannonball tearing through the air was heard, and the next second, the unlucky Ogre was directly smashed into dust by the stone.
"Who dares to run!" Iri roared, exasperated.
Immediately, the Ogres, Giants, including the green Mountain Giant, all froze in place, not daring to move, fearing that Iri's next target would be them.
"Forget it… I'm not playing anymore. If they really run, I can't handle it. Despair Aura! Level 5!" Iri raised her hand, and a wave of black energy swept over. All the living things—the Ogres, Giants, and whatever else—collapsed instantly.
After dealing with these Ogres, Iri turned to look at the old Naga still lying on the ground. As soon as the Naga saw Iri staring at her, she trembled even more violently.
"So, next, it's your turn." Iri said chillingly, then also dispelled Ta Qiqi Mi's World Champion Armor, and slowly walked towards the old Naga.
Imagine, after someone who had just displayed a series of brutal and overwhelming acts of power in front of you, walks slowly towards you, covered in blood with a smile on her face—how terrifying! The old Naga was trembling uncontrollably, fearing that she would be the next one to have her head smashed.
"Hmm? I remember I've already lifted the command, right? Why are you still lying down?" Iri asked, smiling, as she walked up to the old Naga.
"This old one… this old one is Elizabeth's loyal servant. A servant should bow before Elizabeth." The old Naga flattered, very tactfully.
"Hmm! Very good, then I'll trouble you to come with us." Iri said with a smile.
The subsequent troubles would be left to Ainz. Although Iri knew Ainz's plan, her appearance had already stolen Ainz's spotlight. The subsequent attack on Karn Village should be led by Ainz.
After all, Iri herself couldn't use MP-consuming skills like Undead Resurrection. However, she had eliminated so many Ogres and Giants in one go this time; surely her level would increase, right?
…
Afterward, Iri and Aura dragged the old Naga back to Nazarick's outpost.
As soon as they reached the entrance, Albedo rushed out and hugged Iri, rubbing Iri's head vigorously against her large chest.
If Iri were a boy, she would undoubtedly be incredibly happy, right? However… Iri is a girl, so she only found such a "fan service" scene repulsive.
"Albedo, I'm very dirty. Please… please don't…" Iri remembered that she was still covered in a lot of the Giants' blood, so she used that as an excuse to try and deter her.
"Little Yi isn't dirty at all. In fact… this blood-stained appearance suits Little Yi even more, doesn't it? Ah, ah… Little Yi is too cute." The deterrence was ineffective; Albedo didn't care about any of that.
"But… I prefer white, like Albedo." Iri said, feigning a somewhat troubled expression.
"Eh! You like, like me? Really??" Albedo looked surprised.
"Yes, I really like to wear clothes the same color as Albedo. And these clothes were made by Albedo herself. It's a shame to get them dirty…" Iri said, feigning a look of great regret.
"You… you like them? It's alright! Mother will make you more! As long as Little Yi likes them! I'll make as many as you want!" Albedo's eyes instantly lit up, and the wings on her back trembled with excitement.
"Welcome back, my daughter." At this moment, Ainz also came out. Good! Ainz had appeared, so Albedo should restrain herself a bit, Iri sighed in relief.
Next, she would just throw the problems to Ainz. Right now, she only wanted to change out of these clothes immediately. The smell of blood all over her was too unbearable. She had to be more restrained in the future and stop doing such things, Iri thought to herself.
