The Enemy's Shyness

(Miluno)

This white giant deer is just too big. If Heat Haze were here, she might be able to do something, but my magic can't affect such a large area of "ice".

If the target is another witch, then simply devour all the other darkness within the barrier, and the domain will collapse on its own.

However, this tactic is mostly ineffective against Fomalhaut, as the darkness she herself possesses already meets the conditions for forming a barrier.

"If you can't beat them, you resort to cheating. That's just too unethical!"

As I complained, Ceruno was carrying me on her back, advised, "Don't say that. A domain is a space where both powers coexist. This is Miss Fomalhaut's complete form..."

Which side is this idiot on?

During the 100x acceleration, I jumped up the bubble staircase constructed by Ceruno, braving the blizzard with extremely poor visibility, and headed towards the back of the giant deer.

"So, what exactly is going on with your current form?"

I also want to take this opportunity to clarify some things.

"I now have two Crystal within me. Miss Sirius entrusted me with her power as the Star Crystal."

Did the world's number one idol sacrifice his life to fight against Fomalhaut?

I felt a pang of melancholy and self-reproach.

"It's all my fault. I never expected Fomalhaut to come with your father... Sigh, it's all my fault. She's a very good person... Oh, she's not human."

Ceruno hurriedly said:

"Huh? Wait, you've misunderstood! Sirius isn't dead yet, he's just temporarily lending me his power!"

Ha, so he wasn't dead after all?

She then explained:

"Sirius said the witch's power comes from the Star Crystal and the Black Crystal, and those two Star Crystal must also be able to exert equal power... SpiCa can't even hold two Star Crystal, but I did it!"

Her tone was proud.

"So your hair turned blonde like hers?"

"Hmm, he's grown a little taller..."

She paused halfway through her sentence, then continued:

"... This body doesn't belong to me anymore. Whatever you do to me now is the same as doing anything to Sirius! So be careful!"

Huh? Is she making herself jealous?

Even if I carried Sirius on my back, I wouldn't feel like I'd gained anything.

"Oh, right."

I pouted and jumped over.

Carrying a vinegar jar on her back, she officially stepped onto the back of the giant white deer. Now she was close enough. Ceruno sniffed and pointed to an area on the deer's back.

"I can feel it! She's under this layer of ice... inside the deer's belly!"

Having successfully located Fomalhaut, I drew my twin swords, ready to dig. Although it was a clumsy method, without the high-temperature bombs, I really had no better way to find Fomalhaut.

But Ceruno stopped me.

"But we'll have to wait. Miss Fomalhaut's domain is too cold, and with all our movements at high speed, the condensation is even more severe. Even the bubbles are freezing. If you move too much, you might break the bubbles."

Just like Ceruno said, even the surface of the bubbles started to frost over, becoming brittle due to the cold; I could even create a sonic boom cloud if I shook my hand...

A world accelerated a hundredfold is truly dangerous; without this super bubble, life and death would be unpredictable.

Ceruno placed her long spear wand on the ice, then created a semi-circular bubble. This bubble room was only meant to keep us warm and block the blizzard, so I didn't need to speed it up.

If you don't accelerate, the pressure you need to withstand will be much less.

"Alright."

Since she said so, let's dig.

I raised my twin swords and thrust them fiercely into the ground, but even with the Super Acceleration, they didn't penetrate completely; they only managed to pierce the first few centimeters...

While it's true that ice gets harder the colder it gets, this ice is excessively hard.

My sword can even cut through metal surfaces; no wonder Fomalhaut thought he could be safe and sound by hiding here.

"Is this guy a turtle?"

Ceruno put her hand on my shoulder and sighed:

"This white giant deer isn't a weapon, it's just her safe house. The real weapon is the extremely low temperature of her domain; she wants to freeze us to death here... Even magical girls can't withstand temperatures below 200 degrees Celsius, let alone us moving at supersonic speeds."

Low pressure forms around high-speed moving objects, further reducing the temperature...

I asked:

"Can you use Sirius's magic?"

Ceruno shook her head.

"No..."

Even magical girls using the same Crystal possess different magic; but does the same person using different Crystal still possess the same magic?

"It's too difficult to dig in."

I took the two remaining encapsulated batteries from my waist and handed them to Ceruno. The Magic Supply System was damaged and would stop working if it wasn't used soon.

She asked:

Whose are these two?

"One is for Thunderous Resonance, the other for Extinction. Can we use them?"

Ceruno thought for a moment.

"Sister Quanlin's magic, when thrown into the ice, might cause resonance; Sister Extinction's tentacles can break open the ice?"

"Completely wrong. They all live in the same building. You seem to know more about everyone's magic."

I shook my head in denial, and then explained:

"The magic of 'Thunderous Resonance' is just a simple sonic boom bomb. What you're saying about resonating and shattering ice is indeed possible, but she needs to be present to tune the frequency. As for 'Extinction,' her tentacles are Ghost -like energy entities that are not affected by temperature or ice layers, so they can penetrate the ice to wrap around her and absorb her energy..."

Ceruno then blinked.

"I'll deliver it. Just throw it in Miss Fomalhaut's face, okay?"

Some are persistent, Ghost tentacles that can drain your energy.

Although it's not very useful, it can still let Sword Fiend Demon see ghosts.

The psychological impact is far greater than the physical harm.

Ceruno linked one arm with mine and held two batteries in the other. Without using her wand, bubbles enveloping the batteries suddenly appeared and then suddenly contracted.

Two batteries just disappeared like that.

Noticing my surprise, Ceruno explained boastfully, "This is a combination of teleportation magic and my own magic, pretty amazing, right!"

She seemed to want me to praise her.

I asked, "Then why can't you use that to pull out Fomalhaut?"

"No, I can't do it because I can't see it clearly."

Ceruno's bubbles can only be generated within the field of view.

The battery was sent down, but because it was in accelerated mode, the magic's effect time was also prolonged, so I de-accelerated it.

Suddenly, the giant deer beneath him began to shake violently, but a piercing shriek also emanated from it. At the same time, countless green hands, like seaweed, swayed beneath the ice, reaching out like drowning hands towards Fomalhaut, who was frozen solid with nowhere to hide...

The Extinction spell wasn't very offensive, but it had a huge visual impact. Beneath the ice were countless eerie green tentacles, and even Ceruno grabbed me and shook her body.

Fomalhaut rose rapidly and burst out from under the ice. She was still clinging to some severed energy tentacles... These tentacles could ignore the ice armor and stick directly to her body, making her feel disgusted and blushing.

The coy, bashful Fomalhaut, pointing at my nose from afar, launched into a tirade of insults:

"Miluno, could you be any more despicable?!"

"Dare!"

I turned the hourglass at my waist and sent it back to her.
