The sword energy lost most of its power under the erosion of the ice cones, and when it touched the ice cloud, it only managed to cut a small nick.
Dense icicles rained down, leaving numerous small and large wounds on Hela's body.
Whoa--!
Five scorching flames, like sword energy, melted the ice spikes along their path and blasted towards Hela.
Hela tried to dodge, but the cold temperature slowed her movements.
All five streaks of fire struck Hela's petite body without exception.
Several deep, bone-revealing gashes appeared on Hela's body, engulfed in flames, rendering Hela unable to regenerate.
The crimson blood had barely extinguished the flames when [Summer]' s angry face appeared before Hela.
Burning claws, carrying intense heat, slashed at Hela's face.
The force sent Hela flying backward, crashing headfirst into a tall building and creating a huge hole at the bottom.
The lights inside the high-rise flickered slightly. A young mother, holding her two children, looked at the chandelier with some panic.
"Honey, could you look out the window and see what's happening?"
The man beside her nodded, and walked shakily to the window to look outside.
But what he saw almost made him scream.
Several thick tentacles wrapped around the entire building, and with a violent shaking, the entire building was lifted up by the tentacles.
Hela lifted the building and slammed it down with all her might.
"Ah--!"
The screams of the residents, accompanied by the rumbling of the building, all rushed towards [Summer].
A fiery eye appeared in [Summer]'s palm, and he used it to slap the flying building.
The scorching pillar of fire pierced through the building, and the Hongwei structure was reduced to rubble in an instant.
A thick cloud of smoke covered the surroundings, and [Four Seasons] looked around but could not find Hela.
[Autumn] seemed to suddenly remember something, and several people looked at the ground and spoke.
"She might have run into the ground..."
[Summer] didn't care whether he was actually in the ground or not, he pressed his hands down hard on the ground, and a burst of flames rushed in from the crack in the ground.
Thump--!
A muffled explosion blasted the ground open, and a strange mass of flesh and blood exploded into the air.
Hela quickly changed shape in mid-air, transforming into a large eagle, and propelled herself away into the distance.
After the exchange just now, Hela realized one thing: she seemed to be no match for the four of them combined.
[Four Seasons] has [Spring] constantly healing their injuries and replenishing their condition, while [Autumn] himself only has [Autumn] constantly using his special ability to make Hela consume energy at a faster rate.
Before long, Hela would be destroyed by them due to insufficient energy, which is why she planned to escape.
"Hehe, don't run away! Weren't you having a good fight just now?!"
[Summer] roared, raised his hand and condensed a fiery eye in his palm, which then continued to enlarge in the air.
The fiery eye slowly formed a huge fireball, like the sun, and blasted it towards Hela.
[Winter] and [Autumn] each released several ice spears and black insects that surged towards Hela.
Hela went at full speed and barely managed to dodge all the attacks.
"Depend on--!!!"
[Summer] angrily pounded the ground, landed on all fours, and ran away like a wild beast.
[Winter] treads on the ice and snow, following like skiing, while [Autumn] is dragged along by the black insect, able to catch up at a considerable speed.
[Spring] saw that a pair of wings made of leaves grew from behind and flew in the air, while shining warm light on the group.
Hela was fast, but the [Four Seasons] were not slow either; after all, they had traveled from all over the world to get here in less than a day.
As the distance between them continued to close, Hela began to think about her next move.
A pillar of fire rose from the ground.
Hela was caught off guard and struck in the body, causing her flight speed to slow down momentarily.
[Winter] Seizing the opportunity, he shot out countless ice spikes, which pierced Hela's body.
Thick vines wrapped around Hela and pulled her to the ground.
With a dull thud, a cloud of dust rose from the ground.
Hela was tightly bound to the ground by ice blocks and vines, unable to move.
"Haha! Goodbye-- [Life]! Become nourishment for us!!!"
A blazing fire eye condensed in [Summer]' s mouth, and with a loud shout, flames erupted like a volcano and surged toward Hela.
It looks like I'm really going to be eliminated, but luckily I have a clone in another city.
Although he's lost his ' Starlight Power', at least he won't die...
Hela, now under control, closed her eyes resignedly.
Just as the flames were about to land on him, a figure suddenly blocked his way.
He held a short knife in his hand and slashed at the fierce flames in front of him.
The next moment... the flames were actually sliced open!
The scorching flames were sliced in two the moment they touched the dagger, turning into wisps of pixels that drifted into the air.
The attack that should have killed Hela was easily neutralized.
What the hell?!
All [Four Seasons] turned their gaze to the person who had suddenly appeared, [Summer]'s pupils contracted sharply.
"Hey... aren't you dead?!"
The figure, with a pair of enormous wings that shimmered with an eerie light on its back, slowly approached Hela and used the dagger in its hand to slash at the vines.
The thick vines were simply scratched by the knife, and they turned into wisps of pixels that drifted into the air.
Hela stared at the person before her, her eyes filled with disbelief, while a familiar feeling returned to her.
"Ai... Karen?"
A faint smile appeared on Aidan's melancholy face as he gently helped Hela to her feet.
"Yes, boss, I'm back."
Hela slowly transformed into human form, looked him up and down, and discovered that this person was indeed Aidan.
"Aren't you dead?"
Aidan's eyes darkened, as if she had remembered something painful.
"I did die, but... 'they' gave me another life."
He placed his hand on his chest, then clenched it painfully. "Boss... [Summer] I'll handle this..."
Hela looked at Aidan, whose tearful eyes were filled with determination and anger.
Although Hela was worried that Aidan was no match for [Summer], who had already absorbed her cells, she still nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, boss..."
Aidan nodded slightly to Hela, then turned to face [Summer], who was engulfed in flames and looked like a demon.
"How... how did you even survive?! I clearly remember killing you!"
Aidan didn't answer him, her face cold as she slowly stepped forward.
Suddenly, Hela sensed that Aidan was unleashing an aura that was in no way inferior to her own.
[Summer] seemed to sense the other's presence as well, and was first taken aback, then became excited.
"It's alright, if I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time!"
I will kill you.
"Aidan said calmly, as a pixelated heart floated out from her body."
