‘Sister…’
Gazing at Youka’s face, feeling her aura, the Ice Princess—who always maintained her expressionless facade—felt something stirring deep within her.
And the most direct manifestation of those emotions?
The Ice Princess stood frozen on the spot.
This caught Helibea completely off guard.
?!
What, what happened?!
Clearly that bastard Zholu had given me control of the Ice Princess, so why isn’t she obeying me?
Could it be… that even now, I still lack the ability to command a magical puppet?
No, impossible!
Gritting her teeth, Helibea unhesitatingly condensed most of her holy power—and even part of her soul—into a concentrated mass, channeling it ceaselessly into the contract mark on her chest.
As an icy blue light radiated from her bosom, Helibea’s control over the Ice Princess surged dramatically.
“AY-006! I command you!! Kill that woman!”
This time, the command sent through the contract mark made the Ice Princess shudder.
An instant later, the emotional turmoil in the fox-eared girl’s eyes vanished completely, and the strange impulse to rush forward and cling to Youka for affection was forcibly suppressed.
As a magical puppet, her top priority…
was unquestionably to obey her master.
“Yes, master.”
After replying emotionlessly, the Ice Princess’s eyes blazed with intense icy-blue light.
The magic power surging within her puppet body erupted like a storm.
As ice-attribute mana overflowed, the aura around the Ice Princess twisted—the ground cracked, space itself began to warp.
A terrifying pressure centered on the fox-eared girl howled outward in all directions.
Even protected by the Ice Princess’s ice barrier, Helibea still felt a bone-chilling cold and an irresistible oppression, forcing her to half-kneel on the rubble.
Yet despite her discomfort, Helibea’s eyes held not only shock but also excitement.
Her heart was filled with elation.
“Yes, that’s it! Take down that woman, and finish off Superion at the same time!!”
With the Ice Princess’s power unleashed, a fierce chill centered on the Sun Crown Palace instantly engulfed the entire capital. The sky turned gloomy and oppressive, thick with dark clouds. The Ice Princess’s magic, like an invisible giant hand, enveloped the city, chilling everyone to the bone. The temperature plummeted; each breath brought piercing cold. Countless ice crystals formed in the air, glittering with frigid light. The whole city seemed gripped by ice and snow, all sound swallowed by a freezing silence.
“What’s happening?!”
People in the capital looked up at the sky in terror, unable to understand how this was possible.
First the terrifying roars from the palace, and now a sudden change in weather?
“What’s going on?!”
Countless citizens cried out in alarm.
Even as they questioned, they shivered and wrapped their clothes tighter.
After all, the surrounding temperature was plummeting rapidly.
Of course, the most intense temperature change was at the Sun Crown Palace, directly affected by the Ice Princess’s magic.
Inside, even a small exhale of warm breath instantly froze.
Yet despite the frigid air, Youka—dressed in a short skirt and stockings, with her shoulders and chest exposed—stood there as if she felt nothing, calmly regarding the Ice Princess with a gentle gaze.
Under Youka’s serene stare,
the fox-eared girl slowly bent down, and cold air rapidly gathered in her hands, shaping into two crystalline ice blades that exuded a bone-chilling aura, as if they could freeze everything.
Holding the twin blades, the Ice Princess’s detached eyes gradually gleamed with cold murderous intent.
Ice crystal blades imbued with dense magic sparkled with frigid light, seemingly ready to claim lives and seal souls in ice.
Then,
without any warning,
the Ice Princess suddenly launched herself, turning into a streak of icy light as she dashed toward Youka.
At the same time,
high-tier magic from the Celestial Realm surged through the air.
Under the Ice Princess’s control, countless icy blades formed from the cold air, surrounding Youka from all directions. Those blades flew through the air with sharp whistles, as if intending to tear Youka apart. Each blade gleamed with cold light, all aimed at Youka, seeming to devour her in an instant.
The frigid light directly split the air, moving so fast it was hard to react.
Youka’s left eye watched the attacking Ice Princess, while her right eye moved rapidly, observing the surroundings.
Faced with the Ice Princess’s assault, Youka still showed no change in emotion.
A magical puppet?
Handcrafted by the first Holy King, a legendary weapon of war.
A rare opportunity.
I’ll give it a try.
And while I’m at it,
let’s see just how capable this body of mine truly is.
…
With that thought,
Youka’s slender, jade-like fingers began to dance gracefully, like playing a piano. With each movement, countless barely visible silver threads wove through the air.
The next moment,
the blades formed from the Ice Princess’s magic clashed with those silver threads, producing crisp metallic sounds.
“Hm?”
A flicker of surprise passed through the fox-eared girl’s eyes.
Because,
she was astonished to find that
the ice blades aimed at Youka, upon hitting those seemingly fragile silver threads, were cut clean in two. Not only her own blades, but all the ice blades converging on Youka from every direction were sliced into fragments by the floating silver threads.
Meanwhile,
Youka’s defensive net woven from silver threads, though constantly vibrating from the impact of the ice blades, remained unbreakable.
Seeing this,
the Ice Princess narrowed her eyes briefly, then unhesitatingly increased her output.
The ice blades in her hands regenerated instantly,
and the number of floating ice blades multiplied dozens of times in one second.
Countless ice blades, like a violent storm, charged at Youka with murderous intent.
Undoubtedly,
even Superion at his peak would struggle to withstand such a full-powered onslaught from the Ice Princess.
Yet,
the doll-like lady merely watched it all calmly, taking in every move the Ice Princess made.
Youka moved like a nimble dancer,
evading the thousands of ice blades with grace and agility.
The silver threads under her control moved like living creatures, constantly changing in the air, slicing all incoming ice blades into pieces.
The atmosphere was thick with tension. Amidst the raging blue mana,
cold air and silver light intertwined in the sky, creating stunning battle scenes.
In the blink of an eye, the Ice Princess and Youka had clashed hundreds of times.
The overwhelming cold air constantly suppressed the doll-like girl, keeping her on the defensive throughout.
“Yes! That’s it! Take her down!”
Helibea muttered excitedly.
Those who know the truth must be eliminated! Not just her, but those Holy Domain guys too! Otherwise… I won’t be able to secure the throne.
Helibea whispered frantically in her mind, watching the Ice Princess with eager eyes, praying that this weapon of war would end the fight quickly!
However,
soon,
as her emotions gradually stabilized and the battle scene continued to unfold before her eyes, Helibea began to sense something amiss.
Wait?
‘This… doesn’t seem right?!’
Helibea muttered nervously to herself.
At that moment,
the first princess realized a deeply unsettling fact.
Namely,
that golden-haired maid, that woman suspected to be a Holy Domain warrior?!
She hadn’t released any holy power at all?! She’s been fighting the Ice Princess solely with her physical agility and those weird silver threads?!
But even so,
though she was overwhelmed in momentum, she remained completely at ease. What’s more, the Ice Princess’s attacks and that terrifying cold air seemed never to have touched her at all?!
It was as if the golden-haired maid wasn’t engaged in a life-or-death struggle,
but rather some kind of test??!
This,
how is this possible?!
Though reluctant to believe it, the scenes before her forced Helibea to accept this absurd truth, making her bite her lip so hard that blood began to trickle from the corner of her mouth.
No,
if this continues…
Damn it,
I’ll go all out!
Having made that decision, Helibea gritted her teeth and poured all her holy power and soul energy into the contract mark on her chest.
