Chapter 174

One Yetis member rammed into Ai Er Lan with his body, while another lunged at the spear without hesitation.

A crimson spear pierced his shoulder, instantly staining the snow red, but he clung tightly to the spear shaft, buying FrostNova a precious opportunity to dodge.

FrostNova used the momentum to retreat, ice crystals spreading beneath her feet, and countless sharp ice spikes rising from the ground, forcing Ai Er Lan to temporarily retreat.

At the same time, Roxy stepped back to protect Ai Er Lan.

She looked at her injured and fallen teammate, a flash of heartache crossing her eyes, which quickly turned into a chilling killing intent.

"You... will all pay the price."

Chapter Sixteen: My Heart is Colder Than Ice [2 Updates]

FrostNova slowly raised her hands, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, as if the air itself was about to freeze.

Countless ice crystals swirled around her, forming a deadly ice storm.

Just as the icy storm that FrostNova was gathering was about to take shape, a dazzling beam of magic instantly pierced through the swirling snow and struck her precisely.

"Arcana Wave?!"

Adhering to the principle that magical girls are three parts weaker if they don't shout out the names of their moves, Ku Tang's clear shout came from afar.

FrostNova had to interrupt her spellcasting and hastily conjured a thick ice wall in front of her.

The magical beam struck the ice wall, unleashing a dazzling light, and instantly the surface of the ice wall was covered with cracks.

"Their objective is clear," the Shieldguards said in a deep voice, while directing his men to tighten the defensive line. "Everyone, protect FrostNova!"

The Yeti Squad members also realized the seriousness of the problem.

All of this coordination suggests that the other side came fully prepared, and all their actions were directed at FrostNova.

"Don't scatter!" FrostNova commanded calmly, the ice crystal domain beneath her feet expanding once more. "Their coordination is excellent, but we know this snowfield better. Maintain your defensive formation!"

A white-haired girl in the distance held up her magic wand, looking down at them with haughty disdain.

The three employees remained silent, their eyes fixed on FrostNova. Angela had already stated that their first step to victory was to eliminate FrostNova; otherwise, victory would be impossible.

On the other side.

The battle situation suddenly changed.

Boom!

Patriot delivered a powerful downward strike, which Skadi caught with both hands, crossing the hammer handles to block it. She was forced to kneel on the ground by the impact.

At that critical moment, all the eyes on the Eye Lamp closed simultaneously, then suddenly opened.

EGO erupts.

In an instant, Skadi transformed into a non-human being, unleashing terrifying power that briefly forced Patriot back several steps.

This state lasted only a moment, after which Skadi returned to normal.

Skadi seized the opportunity to leap backward, creating distance between herself and her opponent for the first time.

She was slightly out of breath, and blood seeped from the tiger's mouth, dripping slowly down the hilt of the halberd onto the snow, blooming into dazzling red spots.

Patriot steadied himself, the red light beneath his helmet flickering slightly, seemingly surprised by the sudden burst of power.

"What is that...?"

He asked, albeit with a slight stutter, but it was clear that this would not yield any results.

The wind and snow continued to howl, but a brief silence descended upon this snowfield that had been ravaged beyond recognition.

Skadi slowly raised her Eye Lamp, and the eyes on her hammer gradually returned to normal, but a hint of wariness, previously absent, appeared in her red pupils.

She understood that the enemy before her was far more powerful than she had imagined.

The battle had only just begun to reach its climax.

On the other side, the Shieldguards had already reorganized their defenses.

They realized they couldn't just passively defend; they had to take the initiative and disrupt the opponent's rhythm.

"Second squad, follow me!" A Shieldguards led several members towards the location of Ku Tang.

They cannot allow this ranged attacker to continue harassing FrostNova.

But Roxy immediately realized their intentions.

He swept his spear, forcing back the Yetis members in front of him, then turned to intercept the Shieldguard Squad.

"Get over me first! Heretic!" Roxy roared, his spear whistling through the air as it pierced the face of the Shieldguards.

The Shieldguards raised his shield to block, but felt a sudden numbness in his arm.

This warrior, clad in bizarre armor, possessed astonishing strength; each attack sent a jolt of pain through the man's hands.

Ai Er Lan weaved nimbly through the encirclement of the Yeti Squad, his crimson spear as cunning as a venomous snake, each strike aimed at the weakest point in the defense.

Despite the Yetis's desperate resistance, he forced them to retreat continuously.

Standing in the relatively safe rear, Ku Tang continuously waved his staff, sending beams of magic precisely at the Reunion Movement members who were trying to organize a counterattack.

Every spell she cast was perfectly timed, either interrupting FrostNova's spell preparations or creating opportunities for her allies to attack, harassing all the enemies. No one would let their guard down against such a high-intensity beam of light that could be released in an instant.

FrostNova glanced around, a resolute glint in her icy blue eyes.

She knew that if things continued like this, the defenses would be breached sooner or later.

"Everyone, retreat!" FrostNova suddenly ordered, raising her hands high. "Let me end this battle!"

Extreme cold energy began to gather in her hands, and the moisture in the air instantly condensed into countless tiny ice crystals.

This time, she is ready to unleash her true power.

The Yeti Squad shouted urgently, "Big Sister! You'll die if you keep going like this!"

FrostNova bled from his mouth and nose, and fell silent, but the power gathering in his hands grew stronger and stronger.

But the Ku Tang's staff lit up again.

"I won't let you succeed!"

Another beam of Arcana Wave roared out, heading straight for FrostNova, who was gathering power.

At the same time, Ai Er Lan and Roxy also launched their attacks, attempting to break through the defenses.

Just as the light wave from Ku Tang was about to hit FrostNova, the blizzard across the entire camp suddenly intensified.

Call!

The gale, carrying ice crystals, swept in like thousands of sharp blades.

The temperature plummeted in an instant, the moisture in the air condensed instantly, and even the breath turned into ice shards the moment it left the lips.

FrostNova hovered in mid-air, the white rabbit's long hair danced wildly in the blizzard, and her eyes had turned completely ice blue.

Centered on her, a visible ripple of ice rapidly spread outwards, covering everything in its path with a thick layer of frost.

"S--"

Ku Tang felt as if she were inhaling knives with every breath. She even lost her grip on her wand, causing the light beam to fail to fire. The biting cold penetrated her thin magical girl outfit, and fine ice crystals quickly condensed on her exposed skin.

Her teeth began to chatter uncontrollably, and her hands, gripping the staff, trembled violently.

On the other side, Ai Er Lan's situation was equally dire.

Just as he was about to break through the Yeti Squad's defenses, he suddenly felt his limbs become incredibly heavy, and an extremely strong cold wind swept towards them, instantly causing them to suffer frostbite.

FrostNova hovered in the center of the blizzard, coldly watching them.

The blizzard intensified, reducing visibility to less than three meters.

Ku Tang and Ai Er Lan began to suffer from large areas of frostbite; their lips turned bluish-purple, and their breathing became rapid and difficult.

"I...I must interrupt her..." Ku Tang trembled as he tried to raise his staff again, but his fingers were too frozen to bend.

Ai Er Lan knelt on one knee, supporting his body with his spear, each breath carrying shards of ice.

Suddenly, misty 'Droplet' appeared in the air, obscuring Droplet was directly in front of them like a layer of fog.

Why does such a thin fog rise amidst the heavy snow?

Is this really 'water'?

How low is the temperature?

Is it -40 degrees Celsius, or more than -60 degrees Celsius?

His vision began to blur, and he could only barely make out FrostNova's figure hovering in the blizzard.

The tide of battle was turned completely in an instant.

At that moment, Patriot was fighting Skadi, and he had just blocked Skadi's attack.

At the same time, he knocked the hammer out of Skadi's hand, just as Patriot was about to execute his enemy.

At that moment, a figure picked up a hammer and leaped high into the air, breaking through the blizzard.

The Ultramarines brandished his Eye Lamp, and in the blink of an eye, the hammer swung right next to his visor!

Chapter Seventeen: Daily Humiliation of Ti [1 Update]

The figure shrouded in the blizzard was none other than Roxy!

He had somehow broken free from his entanglement with the Shieldguards, Thorn Halo above his head burst forth with an unprecedentedly dazzling light, burning away his life and faith.

He abandoned all defense, pushed his speed to the limit, and transformed into a blue lightning bolt. Taking advantage of the tiny gap when Patriot was briefly forced back by Skadi and his old strength had just been exhausted and new strength had not yet been generated, he launched a desperate charge!

"For the Emperor!"

The roar tore through the howling wind and snow.

The giant hammer from Skadi in Roxy's hand Eye Lamp, and the hammerhead went from slow to fast before being swung out in one swift motion!

Bang!!

A blast of air erupted.

A deep, terrifying bang.

This blow landed squarely on the Patriot's side of the head!

The heavy Wendigo helmet creaked and shattered under the terrifying destructive force of the Eye Lamp.

Fragments of the visor, mixed with scalding blood, scattered like bombs, leaving a shocking crimson stain on the pristine snow.

For the first time, Patriot's massive body staggered violently, tilting to one side like an ancient tree that had been felled.

The face beneath the helmet was faintly visible; it must have been a horrific injury.

"It worked?!" In the distance, a glimmer of hope flashed through the heart of the almost frozen Ku Tang.

However, the next second, a scene that sent chills down everyone's spines unfolded.

Patriot, you have not fallen!

He didn't even utter a single groan of pain. Beneath the crack in his helmet, amidst the chapped flesh.

Some kind of living substance is wriggling and multiplying at a speed visible to the naked eye!

It's Originium!

The highly concentrated Originium crystals completely fused with his Wendigo flesh and blood, repairing his damaged head and tissues.

He was no longer human, but a war machine forged from ore, flesh and blood, and an indomitable will.

"Gurgle..."

Blood gushed from his mouth.

He abruptly straightened his head, and beneath the shattered mask, the crimson light in his eyes intensified.

Roxy gasped for breath, watching his all-out attack being neutralized in such an inhuman way. Even for Ultramarines with unwavering faith, a chill ran down his spine.

Patriot's gaze, tinged with blood and Originium fragments, instantly locked onto Roxy, who had inflicted a severe blow on him.

You deserve to die.

His speech became unexpectedly fluent, and the stutter caused by the Originium cured... but the price was extremely high.

The chill in Roxy's heart instantly reached its peak.

It wasn't out of fear, but rather an instinctive warning when faced with something beyond reason.
