Malevolent Shrine vs. Frost and Snow (Three-in-One)

Late Thursday night in Taiping Prefecture.

The Thunder Demon incident had just ended when the Witch incident at Whale Sea Park once again drew the attention of some people.

"Whoosh!"

Within the curtain, Frost and Snow suddenly swung her spear, and the ice blade that had condensed in mid-air shot towards Hell.

With a thought, Hell unleashed an invisible, instantaneous attack, shattering all the ice blades in mid-air.

But this is just an illusion created by the Frost and Snow.

"Be careful, senior!"

Bai Xiaoxiao was worried.

Frost and Snow's figure flashed and arrived before Hell, her gun piercing the air.

Hell naturally wouldn't let her get close; the opponent was clearly a melee-type magical girl, so he decisively dodged and retreated, creating distance.

Her strength has almost fully recovered.

However, Hell did not choose to activate the Speed Force because one of the Speed Force's major weaknesses is that it is extremely vulnerable to cold and speed-reducing debuffs.

It was precisely restrained by Frost and Snow.

So, as she leaped backward, the girl raised her hand and unleashed a full-power "solution."

"Bite!"

Frost and Snow was sent flying by the slash. After landing, she clutched her forehead, which was stinging from the erosion of the Subspace: "Why are you running? Didn't you say I was the challenger? So in the end, all you can do is talk big?!"

With that, she decisively plunged her spear into the ground, gripped her Soul Gem tightly in her left hand, and gently closed her eyes. "Fine, since things have come to this, I'll show you what the true Magic Domain is..."

Splash!

As the temperature inside the curtain plummeted for the second time, a massive snowflake magic circle rapidly formed beneath the Frost and Snow.

At the same time, her Magic Curtain rapidly contracted, forming an outer shell of Magic Domain that sealed her and Hell within it.

"Senior Hell!" Bai Xiaoxiao and the other two were immediately worried; their eyelashes were now covered in frost.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaohong released her magic to protect them; otherwise, the two injured little ones who couldn't transform would have already fainted.

Within that domain.

Frost and Snow closed her eyes, softly chanting, and once again uttered the name she hadn't called out in fifteen years, "In the name of the Magical Girl Frost and Snow, descend: -- 'Eternal Night Winter'!"

At the same time, Hell also raised his hands, forming the Enmaten Hand Sign, his long gray hair dancing wildly in the cold wind behind him:

In the name of Magical Girl Hell...!

"Domain Expansion - 'Malevolent Shrine'!"

Boom--!

A shrine to demons Buddhist Shrine, composed of skeletons and bull heads, rose up with a roar beneath the surface of Hell.

Don't ask her why she didn't say the previous line; it's too embarrassing!

The simultaneous activation of their domains by two powerful A-rank magical girls caused the spatial structure of the entire Whale Sea Park to become distorted.

The three members of the Red Sparrow were extremely nervous, silently sweating for their Senior Hell.

In the Subspace Library of the magical world, the Magic Domain of the Magical Girl Frost and Snow is recorded as follows:

Magic Domain: "Eternal Night Winter"

Domain Effect: Amplifies the magical effects of the caster's Cursed Technique, transforming into a violent blizzard that continuously devours all objects within the domain until they are turned into ice sculptures.

After unleashing her domain, Frost and Snow was filled with confidence, because she didn't think she would lose to Hell in the domain battle.

Her blizzard domain not only doubles the opponent's mana consumption but also severely slows down the flow of their mana.

If the total magical power of both sides is roughly the same, Hell will either be unable to defeat her instantly or be dragged to death within her domain.

But suddenly, Hell slightly raised the corners of his mouth. "I want to return your words to you. Do you think your domain can rival mine?"

"What a naive idea."

When both sides simultaneously deploy their domains, their guaranteed hit effects will indeed be lost, turning domain battles into a simple contest of magic power and Cursed Technique effects.

But that applies to ordinary Closed Domain.

Hearing Hell's slightly mocking words.

Frost and Snow and Snow suddenly had a bad feeling.

It was only then that she realized that the Magic Domain that Hell had unleashed seemed quite different from any domain she had ever seen before.

Not only does it lack a closed structure, but it also extends outwards.

As she observed the structure of the other person's domain, her inner light suddenly contracted slightly, and a terrifying thought crossed her mind.

The next second, an endless stream of "solutions" landed on the most vulnerable part of Frost and Snow's domain, instantly shattering her Magic Domain!

"Puff--!"

"Cough cough--!"

Frost and Snow fell to her knees, suffering a backlash from the Cursed Technique. Not only were her magic circuits broken, but blood also began to spill from the corners of her mouth.

But as expected of the experienced first-generation magical girl, she only survived the moment after the domain shattered.

She chose to disregard the Cursed Technique Burnout and fully unleash her magic.

"Buzz--!"

A small, pale golden field appeared beneath her feet, isolating the "Malevolent Shrine" skill from its guaranteed hit effect.

Seeing this, Hell frowned slightly, decisively switched to manual control mode, and unleashed his slash on the opponent's golden domain.

That golden area is what the magic world calls a "Simple Barrier".

Its only effect is to resist the guaranteed hit effect in other areas, nothing more.

In addition, not only is the caster unable to move, but they also have to continuously input magic power to maintain it, which is equivalent to waiting to die on the spot.

"This guy's saving his big move."

Hell doesn't think a seasoned, experienced magician would just stand there and wait to die.

Therefore, she immediately saw through Frost and Snow's thoughts, instantly increased Malevolent Shrine's output, and disappeared from the spot.

But it wasn't moving forward.

Instead, they retreated to the very edge of the territory, maximizing the distance between the two sides.

Seeing this, Frost and Snow's lips curled up slightly. "I knew it, you would deliberately distance yourself from me because you were worried about my self-destruct attack."

"But that actually gave me time to prepare."

"Trying to play mind games with me? You're still too young, Hell!"

As she spoke, Frost and Snow clutched the Soul Gem to her chest, willingly abandoning the last shred of rationality she possessed as a human.

Her eyes were filled with a dark magic, an unusual kind of magic, originating from the Subspace, filled with resentment and corruption.

Frost and Snow tilted their heads slightly. "I feel wonderful--!"

Meanwhile, the Malevolent Shrine's attacks continued relentlessly within the area of effect, growing increasingly fierce and disregarding the drain on his energy.

Miss Hell could sense that Frost and Snow's Cursed Technique Burnout and that her mana bar had been refreshed.

However, for some reason, the danger level did not surge to A10.

So, does this mean that even a witch's talent has an upper limit? Once her talent reaches its limit, she can't become stronger even if she transforms into a witch.

"Heh... Still wasting your magic in a death throes?"

Frost and Snow watched the continuous slashes outside the barrier, letting out a low, chilling laugh, and raised their Grief Seed: "Try this move, Little Hell."

In the name of the "Witch of Blizzards," Super-Tier Magic: "Eternal Ice Seal!"

[Super-Tier Magic: The ultimate killing move resulting from the extreme development of Magic Cursed Technique, second only to the Domain Expansion.]

Click, click, click—!

Above the Frost and Snow, a massive ice spell, large enough to fill the entire Magic Curtain, began its countdown to release.

"Let's start the countdown!"

Frost and Snow held the Soul Gem in one hand and maintained the magic circle with the other, hoping to see a look of terror on Hell's face.

After the status was refreshed, Hell no longer had time to get close enough to shatter its Simple Barrier.

Upon witnessing this scene...

Lin Xiaohong, Bai Xiaoxiao, Wuhua all felt a chill run down their spines.

In other words...

Did Frost and Snow win?!

In Subspace.

"Yay, the magical old lady is finally airing! Seriously, wouldn't it be better if she turned into a witch sooner? That way I could see Little Hell gritting her teeth and enduring her resentment sooner, hehe, it must be so delicious!"

Several witches were crouching in the Subspace, secretly spying on their idol Little Hell, through the Subspace's perspective within Frost and Snow's body.

They quickly analyzed the situation and understood it.

"Come on, Little Hell! Don't lose to that magic grandma!"

"Although I really liked Little Hell, it's impossible now. She missed her last chance and failed to interrupt Frost and Snow's second witch transformation."

"Waaaaah, no! Miss Hell, please don't let anything happen to you! You haven't turned into a witch yet, I haven't kissed you... I haven't touched your pantyhose thighs yet, waaaah!"

"Frost and Snow won. That old guy's combat experience is too rich. There's nothing we can do. My condolences."

The witches were buzzing with discussion.

Inside the Subspace, the witch known as "Bubble" remained silent, only gently pressing down the brim of her hat and sighing inwardly.

If Hell dies at Frost and Snow's hands, she'll probably have to wait and see if she can retrieve his fragmented soul from the Subspace.

Keeping a small one by my side, feeding it plenty of soul fragments, and then transforming it back into a Calamity Witch, completing the witch transformation after resurrection, should be no problem.

However, just when everyone thought victory would belong to Frost and Snow, Hell quietly removed the Enmaten Hand Sign.

The endless slashing attacks ceased.

"Are we finally going to give up...?"

Frost and Snow gazed at Hell, trying to see wavering and fear on her face.

However, she only saw Hell's lips twitch slightly as he uttered a word that was unfamiliar to everyone.

"Stove, open!"

In the vast white snowfield, a dark red flame instantly ignited in Miss Hell's hand.

At this moment, the Malevolent Shrine's slash had already shredded everything in sight—the park trees, the ground, and the buildings—into powder.

The magical powder, slightly frozen by the magic of Frost and Snow, filled the entire area.

The moment they saw that flame, Lin Xiaohong and her two companions, along with the members of Frost and Snow and the Witches' Association, all froze on the spot.

"That's... fire?!"

"What's going on? Isn't the Magic Cursed Technique for Little Hell supposed to be 'Dissolve' and 'Eight'? She said that herself in the interview."

"No, that power isn't completely different; it's more like the second flame characteristic of the same Magic Cursed Technique!"

"How is that possible?! What's the connection between these two things?"

Seeing the surprised and uncertain look in Frost and Snow's eyes, Miss Hell raised her hands, letting the ball of flame dance, burn, and boil between her palms...!

I told you so, didn't I?

Her gaze, illuminated by the flames, appeared remarkably indifferent. "You are the challenger."

"Start the stove!"

This is the full name of the Malevolent Shrine's fire Cursed Technique, and also its true power, which is known as the "Flame of Ten Thousand Deaths" killing move.

The ordinary "Stove Open" skill, due to its long wind-up and slow speed, can only exploit an information gap and may not be able to compete with Frost and Snow's Super-Tier Magic "Eternal Ice Seal".

Therefore, when Hell Domain Expansion by establishing Binding Vow, it can only unleash a fire attack once at a time.

In return, during the Domain Expansion, all pulverized matter within it can possess the same explosive magical power as the "stove".

It's like dispersing and injecting one's immense magical power, in the form of a "stove," into every single grain of dust.

At the same time, the existence of the Magic Curtain ensures that the dust will only remain in a closed space with a radius of only two hundred meters.

All of this turned this space, filled with explosive dust, into a pressure cooker that was constantly accumulating pressure.

Hell only needs to be "opened" to be completely ignited...!

Flames surged and swirled in the young lady's hands, transforming into flaming arrows that slowly aimed at the immobile Frost and Snow.

Frost and Snow's expression was completely filled with astonishment. "How is this possible? How could you have a second Magic Cursed Technique..."

That's when she realized.

From the moment Hell retreated to the edge, it no longer mattered what she was supposed to do.

Since then, her indiscriminate attacks on the locations of the three, except for the Red Sparrow, have never stopped.

She had planned to use this tactic from the very beginning!

"You... so you're the one who killed Golden Feather!"

At this point, Frost and Snow had no choice but to forcibly activate the Super-Tier Magic, disregarding the fact that the last circle of the magic circle had not yet been completed.

Hell, with his eyes slightly lowered, uttered the words softly:

Call out!

The arrow, trailing flames, ignited the explosive dust that filled the entire Magic Curtain the moment it was released.

The Super-Tier Magic of Frost and Snow was released at the same time.

"Boom--!"

The explosion, with its extremely high temperature and pressure, was tightly compressed within Magic Curtain with a radius of only two hundred meters.

This is a direct confrontation between a blizzard capable of freezing everything and Flame of Ten Thousand Deaths devours all.

Lin Xiaohong held Wuhua and Morning Star tightly in her arms, using all her strength to raise a magical shield to block the flames and explosions.

However, the "Stove Open" technique, which was unleashed through the Domain Expansion, far exceeded the upper limit of the attacks that Lin Xiaohong could withstand.

Just when she was about to give up.

Hell had appeared beside them without their noticing, raising a single hand to block the flames and intense heat of the explosion. "Open!"

Outside.

She even had time to raise her hand and gently tuck her long gray hair behind her ear.

Even at this moment, she still maintained the elegance of a young lady.

Lin Xiaohong, Wuhua, and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up as they watched Senior Hell's long hair and skirt dance wildly in the flames.

On the girl's fair and delicate face, one could only see complete control over the situation, as well as self-confidence and composure.

"So handsome..." Bai Xiaoxiao murmured to herself.

Although it's hard to describe the feeling this scene evoked, every time Miss Hell appeared, she brought Lin Xiaohong and the other two an absolute sense of security.

At the very moment the Flame of Ten Thousand Deaths erupted.

The Simple Barrier of Frost and Snow and snow shattered like glass.

Her vision blurred in the blinding white light. She couldn't even struggle, let alone resist; she could only feel her consciousness gradually dissipating.

66

In a daze, she saw her mother.

"Mother...?"

Why are you here?

Frost and Snow knelt on the ground, their expressions blank, and gently reached out their hands toward the warm white light.

That year, Frost and Snow's mother gave birth to her in the slums of Liberty City.

As an immigrant with a prior drug conviction, her family was extremely poor.

Her mother, on the other hand, had a terrible temper and was always arguing with the neighbors. She also brought men home every now and then.

But Frost and Snow knew that her mother loved her.

Because whenever her mother managed to snag expired whole-wheat bread and limp fruit at the relief station, she would always let her eat them first.

When she really couldn't bear it anymore, she would take the money to buy some "things" that left her arms riddled with holes. Afterwards, she would hug Frost and Snow, crying and apologizing, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, Mommy is so sorry, Mommy took the money to buy that again--...!"

Young Frost and Snow would gently comfort her at this moment, "It's okay, Mom, there's still bread to eat, isn't there? I love bread the most."

It tasted awful.

Frost and Snow retorted in their hearts.

The bread that ends up in the relief center is all unsold whole wheat bread that's already half-expired; it's rough and sour.

But it must be admitted that, at least at that time, Frost and Snow felt very happy and no different from other children.

Until one day, her mother came home from the Chinese restaurant where she worked, and hugged her while crying, saying, "I'm sorry... Xiaoxue."

"Forgive me."

Mom took out a slice of small cake and fed it to Frost and Snow herself; it tasted very, very sweet.

Each person took a bite, and they ate everything clean.

Soon, Frost and Snow's stomach hurt so badly that she couldn't stand up.

Her mother had already started foaming at the mouth.

Before she died, the other person gripped her hand tightly and said in anguish, "Do you know, Xiaoxue..."

"In this world, only the upper class who wield power can survive."

"In my next life, I want to be someone with both power and strength, not a piece of trash like me..."

Frost and Snow curled up painfully beside each other, unable to utter a single word.

Cheap pesticide was put in the cake; she's going to die, dying alongside her mother.

Suddenly, darkness fell, and Frost and Snow could no longer be seen.

What is your wish?

A gentle voice sounded in my ear.

Frost and Snow instinctively shouted in their hearts:

[I want to become a powerful, upper-class person!]

After that.

Her wish, or rather her obsession, was successfully fulfilled.

In just three months, relying on the power of magical girls, Frost and Snow became one of the Five Colors of the first magical girl squad in that chaotic era when superhumans emerged one after another.

Flowers, applause, awards and commendations from the United Government made Frost and Snow the "upper class" she had always dreamed of.

After that, she rose through the ranks and eventually became the head of Tianhe City.

Perhaps... long ago, Frost and Snow already harbored an excessive obsession and desire for power, because that was her wish.

However, after retirement, he lost his strength.

Therefore, the Magical Girl Frost and Snow's desire and obsession with power completely overwhelmed her reason.

Her possessiveness of credit and her desire to control power had reached a level that was incomprehensible to others.

Anyone who attempts to seize, defy, or question the power in her hands will become her enemy.

In the daze of Frost and Snow and snow.

The Minister of Ministry of Magic seemed to have reappeared before her.

That gentle woman with long black hair.

Frost and Snow's eyes reddened, she opened her mouth, and cried out helplessly, "Minister, I'm so cold..."

The woman didn't speak, but simply raised her hand and gently stroked her head.

Just like when Frost and Snow had just awakened that year, the other person took her hand and personally led her to the team, taking care of her like a sister.

By order of the minister.

Frost and Snow willingly fell into the life of a witch.

"Some magical girls have actually already become witches at heart, but the Ministry of Ministry of Magic has simply stopped this process."

"I don't know if this is a good thing or not."

Inside the Subspace, the witch "Bubble" shook her head helplessly.

But from the outside world...

Miss Hell's Magic Curtain gradually disappeared.

At this moment, Whale Sea Park was in ruins, as if it had been ravaged by an earthquake and volcanic eruption, with billowing white smoke rising continuously, scorching every inch of space.

Frost and Snow knelt on the ground, their bodies black with a hint of red, like a piece of burning coal, hissing and emitting white smoke.

Her remaining consciousness was rapidly dissipating.

This former member of the original magical girl squad didn't even have the ability to leave a last message before she died.

Ahead of her, the Miss Hell withdrew her hand, which was emitting scalding white smoke, and a relaxed smile finally appeared on her delicate and lovely face, "What a pleasant battle, Magical Girl Frost and Snow."

I'll probably never forget you for the rest of my life.

Upon hearing this, Frost and Snow's last shred of consciousness trembled slightly before being completely incinerated in the flames.

From a distant building, Red Owl also heard the young lady's "declaration of victory."

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit; she truly has the personality of a spoiled young lady.

He lowered his eyes to look at the hellish landscape that lay beneath the fallen curtain, his guard high regarding the nature of "Hell."

It decreased somewhat abnormally.

In Red Owl's view, girls like Hell are actually the easiest to deal with when they haven't completely lost control.

In other words, they are the easiest to coax.

The truly difficult people to deal with are those who silently devise a world-shattering plan.

Thinking of this, Red Owl's gaze suddenly shifted slightly, looking at Mo Chou and Mo Xiaochuan who were fishing in the distance.

Noticing his gaze, Mo Chou slightly raised her head and looked back at him across the distance.

Red Owl suddenly realized that compared to his father, the danger posed by Magical Girl Hell was nothing at all.

After all, his father was a truly terrifying being who could easily destroy the entire human civilization.

Red Owl dared not gamble on whether the other side would lose control one day; the contingency plans concerning him and the Peacemaker were the most comprehensive.

On the shore. "Holy crap?!"

Mo Xiaochuan stared wide-eyed at the hellish landscape that lay before him after the curtain fell, frozen in shock for several seconds.

He even forgot to reel in the fish that finally took the bait, and when Mo Xiaochuan turned around, the fish pulled his fishing rod away with it!

Lost both the rod and the fish!!

"Your mom... my cue!!"

Mo Xiaochuan panicked and dove into the water, instantly grabbing the large bass like a torpedo and refining it in a flash!

Seeing Mo Chou, Mo Chou withdrew her gaze and looked at Mo Xiaochuan, who had resurfaced on the shore, and gave him a relieved smile, "Your control over your power has improved a lot; you didn't smash the fish to pieces like last time."

Mo Xiaochuan shook his head. "Really, Dad? But it seems that ever since I learned to fish, I feel my heart has indeed calmed down a lot."

The large bass in his hand flicked its tail, its eyes gleaming with an eerie light.

Where is the peace?

Who was it that rushed into the water and grabbed me with a frantic expression?
