The boy's expression changed slightly as the demonic power he had unleashed was so easily wiped out. Without giving it much thought, his body transformed into countless beautiful blue butterflies that flew in every direction.
Even the surrounding white mist cooperated with them!
"I told you! I never said you could leave... Can you even get away?"
Watching the boy transform into butterflies and prepare to flee, Rita took several steps forward.
Crescent Mode—Crescent Form!
Without hesitation, she activated Crescent Form. The gauze-wing-like structures behind Rita's armor unfolded as Crescent particles were released across a wide area.
These particles rapidly absorbed the heat from the environment. In almost an instant, they transformed the surroundings into a prison of extreme cold. Machinery came to a halt, living creatures lost their warmth, and everything fell into stagnation.
At that moment, the world seemed to have become a realm of frost. Even the white mist turned into icy slush. Everything was frozen, and only Rita, the silver-white knight, could stroll through this frozen world.
...Looking at the blue butterflies frozen ahead of her, Rita raised the scythe in her hand and began reaping their lives.
When everything was over, a strange stone the size of a mineral water bottle cap, filled with peculiar demonic power, appeared not far from Rita.
"This is..."
Rita approached the strange object. After hesitating slightly, she still picked it up.
However, the moment she picked it up, a strange demonic power seemed to try to enter Rita's body, only to be directly blocked by her Honkai energy.
Perhaps because Honkai energy was more overbearing than this demonic power, the strange object immediately became docile the instant it came into contact with it.
Holding the strange object, Rita felt that it was somewhat similar to the Sacred Jewel.
