NOVEL NEXT chapter 24
Episode 24: Awakening of the Ice Princess
“Hehe, let me show you… the power of my love…”
Immediately, the air around me freezes.
Then, stronger than usual, the cold converges on me, and a blizzard rages.
The cold gently envelops me, transforming my appearance into a pure white dress.
“This is… my new form, empowered by him… hehe.”
From within, I feel an unprecedented power and his magic.
This power you gave me is for you…
“What, what is this… her appearance!”
“Hmph, it’s just for show. It can’t possibly match us high-ranking demons.”
“Want to test it?”
—
“Of course, this time I’ll kill you!”
In an instant, the demon moves.
Much faster than before… but for me now… too slow.
I dodge the demons’ swords and dance gracefully in the air.
Hehe… I wonder if this is how Omega felt… I’m happy to see even a glimpse of the same scenery as him.
“Damn it!”
The demons’ expressions begin to show irritation again.
“Stop dodging around!”
“Maybe you’re just bad at hitting?”
“You little brat!”
A wild and rough sword… this can’t be called swordsmanship.
I dodge the demon’s wild sword with minimal movement and create an ice arrow in mid-air.
“Freeze Arrow”
“Ugh, this…!”
While the demons are deflecting the Freeze Arrow, I focus my consciousness and chant.
“Ice Absolute Sword, Cold Omega”
My ice sword Freeze transforms into the Ice Absolute Sword, Cold Omega, and settles into my hand.
Hehe, this is the crystallization of our love…
“Now, shall we test it out?”
“Ugh, that sword holds tremendous power… but if the wielder’s skill doesn’t match, it’s meaningless!”
“Hehe, you’ll understand soon enough.”
“What the———”
“See?”
In an instant, I move behind the demon.
And then———
“Ice Blossom”
Without giving them a chance to turn around, I gracefully cut through the demon’s body.
“Ugh… not aiming for the head… that’s your downfall———”
“I don’t need to.”
Immediately after, ice blossoms bloom from the demon’s wounds.
—
The ice flower corrodes the entire body with cold… No matter how much regenerative power one has, it will inevitably lead to death…
“It’s the end.”
“N-no…”
The demon’s entire body freezes without uttering a word, as the cold had already reached its throat.
And the ice flower, having fulfilled its role, withers… along with the demon’s life.
Immediately after, the demon shatters into pieces.
“Wha…”
“Now then… which one is next?”
“Don’t underestimate us! We are the chosen high-ranking demons with titles!”
“That worthless pride is your downfall.”
Unleashing the full force of the cold…
“Absolute Zero”
In that instant, everything around freezes.
The air… the trees… the buildings…
And… the demons.
Previously, this ultimate technique could only be used in a very small area, but now it can be activated over a wide range.
Ah, this power is truly wonderful!
“M-monster…”
When I looked, the last remaining demon was trembling in fear, like prey waiting to be hunted.
“You’re the last one…”
“Damn it! I can’t take this anymore!”
The demon, terrified of me, flies off at high speed.
Quite fast, isn’t it? Is this what they call the strength of desperation? …Now, what should I do… it has gone quite far…
At that moment, I came up with a brilliant idea.
“Yes… let’s use his technique for the last one… hehe, I wonder if I can do it too?”
As I aimed at the fleeing demon, a red-black magic circle appeared behind me.
And I chanted the name of his technique.
“Bullet of Destruction”
At my words, a red-black bullet was fired from the magic circle.
“W-what is this?!”
—
—
The bullet that went straight towards the demon clan hit its body.
Then———
“Gah… gii…”
Upon impact, the demon’s body collapsed and turned to dust.
But immediately after, a heavy burden fell upon my body.
“As expected… I can’t fire continuously like him…”
I had intended to shoot more, but I could only manage one shot. This must mean his ability is many times greater than mine.
Still… his back is far away…
But someday, definitely…!
“Omega… someday I want to fight alongside you…”
I whispered to his back as he fought alone.
