Ice Princess Finally Cracked
Isabel strode over to Dekan and looked down at him.
She wanted to lift Dekan's chin with her toes, or even stomp on his head and twist it, but she refrained for the time being.
She was surprisingly calm.
"Go and crush Ice Princess with your 60x Heartache Attack, and I'll punish you later, my slave."
If Dekan weren't so physically weak, Isabel would have loved to torture Dekan to death right now.
But.
I wonder if it's because Dekan has become his property.
Isabel was actually a little reluctant to ruin Dekan's beautiful body.
"Good."
Dekan's voice seemed to have lost its emotion. He stiffly got up and walked step by step toward the Ice Princess.
"No..."
Seeing Dekan walking towards her like a walking corpse, Ice Princess's expression turned utterly desperate again.
Her lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to say something, but pain and panic prevented her from uttering anything.
Unbeknownst to her, tears of guilt slid down her cheeks and onto the ground.
Dekan seemed to see nothing and didn't recognize Ice Princess and Croix at all. He approached them with a cold expression, like an emotionless killer.
"Young man, I'm sorry... it's all my fault..."
Ice Princess had glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, and her gaze was filled with despair.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her words sounded like a confession or a futile plea to the gods.
However, the next second...
A hint of emotion seemed to flicker in Ice Princess's eyes, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Whether it was her imagination or not, she noticed that Dekan's lips seemed to be trembling slightly.
Only when facing Dekan could Ice Princess see that Dekan seemed to have exhausted all his strength to barely maintain the last bit of control over his body, trying to convey his thoughts through lip reading.
Ice Princess carefully observed Dekan's lips.
But it turned out that what he wanted to say was --
Please, kill me...
"No! I can't do it!"
Ice Princess finally broke down in tears, as if ice and snow were melting away.
Even if she really could do it.
With the [Devil King of Ruin] under her control, she had little energy left to attack Dekan.
If one day she must kill Dekan and free him from slavery.
Therefore, she would definitely choose to commit suicide after killing Dekan with her own hands.
She couldn't live with that guilt any longer.
But as long as she is alive.
We won't let that culprit get away with it!
In an instant, the Ice Princess seemed to transform her grief into rage.
She gritted her teeth, wiped away her tears, and shouted at Isabel:
"Isabel!! No matter where you hide in the future, I will never let you go! Until I free this boy from your clutches!"
"Ha, let's see if you can even survive today!"
Isabel responded with a cold laugh.
Having lost her equipment and Magic Card, she may not be able to quickly break through Croix's defensive magic, who possesses all the cards.
But she knew.
Dekan's Mystery of Pain 60-fold Heartache Attack —is unstoppable and undefendable.
This move allows you to lock onto the Ice Princess remotely and defeat her!
Isabel wasn't worried at all that Croix would hand over the [Pain Shield] he'd seized from her to Ice Princess.
While binding and unbinding Magic Card is quick, it can only be done out of combat.
In this intense battle state, Ice Princess was completely unable to bind Magic Card!
Isabel wants to use her newly acquired servants to unleash the [Devil King of Ruin], kill Ice Princess and Croix, and reclaim her cards!
Dekan was seen strictly following Isabel's instructions.
He clutched his chest, trying to hypnotize himself as he had when he first unleashed the 60-fold Heartache Attack at the Demon Academy.
"Ice Princess, I hate her so much!"
"Ice Princess, why didn't you heed my advice!"
"Ice Princess, you repay kindness with enmity! You have caused me to fall to this state! How can you atone for your sins!"
"..."
Ice Princess listened to Dekan's words, her eyes reddened again, but she tried her best to hold back her tears.
She knew that Dekan, who had lost his will, was only using these words as a hypnotic step to carry out the so-called "Heartache Attack."
However, every single word dealt a severe blow to Ice Princess's spirit.
Because she felt guilty.
I felt an overwhelming sense of guilt.
In her opinion.
It was because of her mistake that the spirited young man who saved her at the most crucial moment ended up in such a miserable state!
But.
She cannot let these things shake her resolve.
She must remain absolutely steadfast in maintaining her mental state.
Even if she had to grit her teeth and endure Dekan's 60 times the Heartache Attack, she absolutely could not let the pain cause her to faint.
She must hold fast to the Chain Staff and protect the people of Tristin.
However.
Ice Princess thought that no matter what Dekan said, she would maintain her firm will.
"Ice Princess".
"You!"
"Hurry up and kill me..."
Dekan stood before the Ice Princess, his figure, burdened by the cold wind, resembling a lone hero.
He seemed to have regained a bit of willpower amidst extreme pain and struggle, and managed to utter those words with all his might.
Ice Princess's face turned deathly pale, and she felt a buzzing in her head.
She saw that even though Dekan was enslaved, his noble soul still shone brightly.
At this moment, her eyes were completely red, tears blurred her vision, and a suffocating feeling seemed to pull her into an endless sea.
"Ah... ah..."
Her body was stiff and she couldn't move. She felt as if something in her chest was hurting so badly that it was about to be torn apart.
That was not the 60-fold Heartache Attack from Dekan.
But the pain was far more intense than the 60-fold Heartache Attack she had anticipated.
"Thud."
Without warning, another tear slid down her cheek and fell to the ground.
Then the tears flowed uncontrollably, like beads from a broken string.
"Ugh... I can't do it... I can't do it..."
She finally broke down in tears, no longer resembling a composed and strong person, but rather a fragile little girl.
"Hahahaha! You deserved it!!"
Seeing this, Isabel couldn't help but burst into laughter.
This was undoubtedly the most wonderful conversation she had heard all day.
Regardless of Dekan's futile struggle.
It was still the sound of Ice Princess crying.
All of this made her feel as if she were listening to celestial music.
However, her laughter was quickly drowned out by another, even more unrestrained laugh.
"Hahaha."
Dekan finally couldn't help but burst out laughing, clutching his stomach.
The cries of the Ice Princess and the laughter of Isabel both stopped abruptly.
Only Dekan's laughter remained.
He jogged lightly to Croix's side, gave Croix a high five, and then ran happily around Croix and Ice Princess with his arms outstretched.
It was like celebrating the huge success of the prank show.
