A Tragedy, After All (6)

In a small town in the Prague Region of northern continental China.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar echoed across the town engulfed in flames, as a beam of orange-yellow energy pierced through the town, making the already shattered town even more dilapidated.

"Boom!"

A few seconds after the beam of light passed by, a violent explosion occurred where it had traveled.

"Whoosh!"

"Splash!"

Flames shot into the sky, and countless pieces of debris flew around like fireworks, causing secondary damage to people hiding nearby.

Ah~~

"Help! Someone save me!"

"Damn it! I'll fight you to the death!"

"You beast, die!"

"Run!"

Although many bravely stood up to fight against the dark blue demon, how could their meager strength possibly shake Deliora? Thus, they fell one after another on the way, bringing despair and darkness to the other survivors.

"Damn it, this guy is terrifying!"

"There's no hope. Humans can't possibly beat this guy. We'd better run!"

"Escape? Where do you think we can escape to? Even if we have somewhere to go, do you think he'll let us leave?"

"Ah~~ I don't care anymore, I don't care about anything, I want to get out of here, I don't want to die!"

Driven by the threat and despair of death, the survivors split into two groups: one group turned and fled without regard for the consequences, while the other group, filled with hatred and rage, launched a desperate attack on the dark blue demon.

Unlike the hysteria of the two-legged creatures, Deliora's metallic face always maintained a slightly upturned lower curve.

As director, audience member, and lead actor, he was very satisfied with his masterpiece, provided, of course, that he gave the two-legged creatures some stimulation from time to time to keep them passionate about the performance.

Just as this brilliant destructive genius was about to add more spiritual fuel to the two-legged creatures, a small clump of ice crystals flew out from the side and hit him squarely in the eye socket.

"Bang!"

The moment it touched my eye socket, the small ice crystal disintegrated, bringing me a touch of coolness.

Although the thing hadn't harmed him and even brought him a slight sense of pleasure, the act of destroying his masterpiece was unforgivable. So, he turned his head and roared in the direction from which the ice crystals had come, sending the mental fuel he had prepared for the two-legged beasts below.

"Roar"

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

Gazing at the unscathed, dark blue monster ahead, the black-haired boy, who was in freefall in the air, muttered a curse under his breath before stepping onto the ice-white pedals he had created to dodge to the side.

"Roar"

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

Almost at the same time the black-haired boy took refuge in the rubble of a nearby building, a new roar, mental fuel, and explosion followed.

"Splash!"

Not long after the building debris landed, the smoke and dust that had enveloped the area dissipated with the wind, but the audacious black-haired two-legged beast did not appear.

"???"

After staring at it for a long time without seeing any movement from the other party, Deliora snorted inwardly, then turned and walked towards the two-legged beast not far away, preparing to continue the fun that had been interrupted earlier.

"Splash!"

"Huff, huff!" (This is Gray's panting)

"Hmph! You boasted about how strong you were, but you couldn't Consecutive Pairs's skin!"

After complaining about someone, Gray, who was panting heavily, shook his head and then cautiously glanced ahead.

"Damn it, this guy's trying to escape!"

Having guessed the other party's intentions, the black-haired boy ran out of his hiding place and launched his strongest attack at the other party's back.

"Ice Make - Lancer" (Um... I know using Chinese here is a bit jarring, but I can't help it, Great Owl English is really limited... Okay, I admit it, I'm just lazy!)

"Call out!"

The next second, an ice crystal match flew through space and crashed into the dark blue figure... Well, due to Gray's height and magic level, the ice crystal match landed in a rather awkward position.

"Roar?!!"

Feeling the coolness spreading through his body, Deliora's anus tightened suddenly, and then he looked behind him in shock and anger.

"Roar!!!"

Seeing that the black-haired bipedal beast had not yet retracted its hands, Cautious Demon roared and then strode towards it.

"Roar!"

"Whoosh!"

When the distance between them had narrowed to a certain extent, the enraged Cautious Demon swung his fist, which was as big as a water tank, down with all his might.

"Ice Make Flooring"

"Laugh!"

"Bang!"

Three seconds after Gray slid off the spot, the water tank's massive fist landed, turning the area into a deep crater.

"Call!"

The black-haired boy had just dodged the flying dirt and debris when a second heavy punch came crashing down on his head.

"Ice Make - Ice Shield"

"Splash!"

The ice-white shield, barely formed, was shattered into pieces by the heavy punch of the water tank, scattering in all directions. However, this was enough to get Gray out of danger once again.

"Laugh!"

Having escaped another deadly crisis thanks to the ice floor, Gray did not hesitate and went straight into a building on the side.

"Roar"

"Call out!"

"Boom!"

After wiping out the opponent's hiding place with his breath, Deliora, who had been violated, did not turn and leave as he had done before, but continued to swing his fists and pound the ground.

"Ice Make - Ice Cubes"

"Bang!"

After using a thick block of ice to block the opponent's fatal blow, Gray slipped into another building, waiting for the best opportunity to attack.

"Roar!"

After roaring, Deliora put away his fist and repeated the attack he had just made.

"Boom!"

Having lost his hiding place once again, Gray could only repeat his previous actions, and so the two entered into guerrilla warfare mode.

"Ulu, it's Gray! He's already fighting with Deliora!"

"That idiot!"

"Ulu, Gray is in critical condition, we must go save him!"

Upon hearing Lord Zero Emperor's suggestion, the Ice Beauty remained silent for a moment before saying, "That guy Gray can hold on for a while longer. Let's go rescue the civilians first!"

Seeing his master's white knuckles, Leon shook his head imperceptibly, then muttered softly, "So dishonest!"

"Leon, what did you just say?"

"Oh, it's nothing. I just meant we need to get moving!"

Although she knew perfectly well that what the other person had just said wasn't what she meant, there was no time to waste. Therefore, the Ice Beauty nodded and said, "Alright, let's split up immediately!"

"Clear!"

After saying this, the master and apprentice split up and walked briskly towards the town.

Not long after Ulu and the other left, a series of light footsteps came from the snow, followed by a pair of moon-white boots appearing in their footprints.

"Deliora... this time, I won't let you get away again!"

After the words were spoken, the moon-white boots rotated sixty degrees to the left and right, and then followed the Ice Beauty's footprints.

"Bang!"

After dodging the water tank punch again, Gray was about to try the same trick again when another water tank punch suddenly appeared in his path.

"Oops!"

Realizing the danger, the black-haired boy immediately changed his forward momentum to backward movement. However, just as he completed the change in movement, an orange-yellow beam of light appeared behind him.

"Hateful!"

Faced with the attack from both sides, the black-haired boy knew he should dodge to one side, but his body was locked in place by inertia and he couldn't move an inch.

"Hehe! It's over!"

After murmuring, the black-haired boy slowly closed his eyes.

"Ice Make - Ice Shield"

Hearing a familiar voice from not far away, the black-haired boy suddenly opened his eyes, and then he saw the surrounding buildings tilting and sliding backward.

"Splash!"

"Splash!"

"Bang!"

Staring at the tall figure in front of him and hearing the sound of ice shattering not far away, the black-haired boy who had fallen on his bottom froze on the spot.

"How... how is it you?"

"Bang!"

After turning around and giving the other person a takoyaki (Maruko), the Ice Beauty roared, "You brat, is this how you treat your master and savior?"

"Bang!"

After pulling his head out of the ground, the black-haired boy shouted, "If you had taught me powerful magic earlier, I could have defeated him by myself. Would I have needed you to save me?"

"Bang!"

As Rising Dragon of Mount Lu was unleashed, the Ice Beauty roared furiously, "Didn't I tell you? Once you find your own form, you can be as powerful as you want! You're slacking off and you still dare to blame me!"

"Call out!"

"Bang!"

A moment later, Flying Gray landed, followed by a questioning sound that pierced the ground and drifted into the air.

"Since the Shape-Making Magic is so powerful, then you'd better prove it to me!"

"Alright! I'll show you what's what!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the Ice Beauty ignored the upside-down onion behind her and angrily walked towards the big black man not far away.

Seeing the giant two-legged beast walking towards him, Cautious Demon put away the water droplets on the back of his head and the question mark on his forehead, and threw out a Double Twin Dragon's Headbutt.

"Ice Make - Ice Shield"

"Splash!"

The icy white shield shattered once again, but this time behind it was not air, but a large cluster of roses shooting into the sky.

"Call!"

In an instant, the rapidly descending giant fist was restrained and flew in the opposite direction.

"Roar!"

"Call out!"

"Splash!"

Impacted by the orange-yellow beam of light, the white rose bouquet was severed, and the giant fist regained its freedom.

"Whoosh"

After breaking free of their restraints, the Twin Dragon's Headbutt was released, followed by a barrage of punches.

"Ice Make Impatiens Flower"

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Countless ice bullets crashed against the rain of fists, creating a series of colliding sounds in the air.

A moment later, the impact stopped, countless ice particles fell from the sky, and the heavy fist shadows disappeared without a trace.

"Buzz!"

Just as Cautious Demon offensive vanished, countless snowflakes suddenly fell from the air, and at the same time, a large number of icy white roses surged from the ground.

"Um?"

The moment Cautious Demon's surprised and doubtful voice escaped his throat, the Ice Rose enveloped him completely.
