The battlefield was silent, as if the fierce battle just a second ago was just an illusion.
The surrounding ice fog suddenly broke, and Emilia jumped back a big step. At the same time, an explosion occurred where she was standing a moment ago. Emilia stared at that position and blinked a few times.
“I really can’t see anything.”
“So be careful”
Listening to Parker's whisper on her shoulder, Emilia nodded and tapped her toes on the ground.
The invisible attack used by the madman - this is an attack that Phyllis warned before the battle, which cannot be caught with the naked eye. However, even if you can't see it, there are ways to defend against it.
Let the ice mist float around the body and avoid attacks by observing the changes in the ice mist. This is the method proposed by Parker. It is not impossible to do it with his own strength.
"Besides, it will be solved with close combat soon."
Emilia whispered, and the ground touched by her toes was stained with a layer of frosty white. The ice covering the ground spread with Emilia as the center, turning the ground within a radius of twenty meters into frozen soil in an instant.
The touch under her feet brought back memories. She grew up in that forest, and skating on ice was her specialty.
"This level of little tricks! Little tricks! Little cleverness! It's like a useless struggle in front of my love!"
Emilia accelerated to the limit in one step. The madman looked at her and yelled.
Afterwards, a sense of oppression approached with roaring sounds, and the ice mist floating around was pushed away one after another. However, every time the invisible hands pushed away the ice mist, Emilia's body was no longer where it was.
Emilia slid on the ice, drawing a huge circle with the madman in the center, in order to confuse his aim, going forward and backward, avoiding every attack, the frozen earth expanded wantonly, Emilia
Feel like a fish in water
"Although I can understand your feeling of being fascinated by my complacent daughter, I refuse to be a pest."
"Mm——!?"
The moment he heard this inexplicable and lazy declaration, a thick ice wall erected around the madman, surrounding him.
——Then, the ice wall gradually deformed, and ice piles were shot from the inner wall to the center.
No way to escape, sudden fatal attack
The prey in the ice wall will be directly hit, stabbed into skewers, and even the blood flowing out will be frozen and crushed.
Contrary to his cute appearance, Parker's attack style fully reflects his innocent cruelty, but——
"——Too weak!! Too weak, too weak, too weak, too weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, weak, too weak, too weak!"
A cry came from the ice cage. The next moment, with a crisp sound, the ice wall shattered, the ice fragments sparkled, and the man who escaped was intact.
At the moment when the ice pile attacked, he used invisible force to create a shield internally. The ice wall could not withstand the reaction force from the inside during the attack, and immediately fell apart.
"It would be ridiculous if you could defeat me with that kind of attack! The trial is not easy——"
"——Guwa!?"
However, just when the madman stood firm on the ice and was getting carried away, Emilia used the momentum of skating to directly kick him away.
Emilia's slide was silent, and her kick hit the unsuspecting madman right in the heart. Under this powerful kick that combined speed and inertia, the man's body was unexpectedly easily kicked away.
"This time it's finally...eh!?"
Emilia, who was about to predict where the madman would fall and use her magic power to attack in succession with the blooming ice flowers, saw the scene in front of her and couldn't help but doubt her own eyes.
The body of the madman who was knocked up and drew a parabola stopped in the air and flew out in another direction. It was as unnatural as if he was caught by something while hanging in the air and forcibly thrown in another direction.
"This usage..."
"Ugh, giving up thinking is just laziness! Apply! Use more! Use further!"
Seeing the madman flying in the air pointing his finger at herself, Emilia immediately formed an icicle and attacked the opponent. However, the icicle seemed to collide with something during the flight, broke into pieces, and failed to attack.
to the other party
On the contrary, the pressure from the madman never diminished. Emilia, who was gliding, manipulated the ice surface to create a slope in front of her - and then used the inertia of gliding to jump into the air in one breath.
Emilia and the man both came into the air, and their eyes met
Madness and indignation intertwined in an instant. Emilia was still the first to attack. This time, a large number of round ice flakes were created and flew towards the man in irregular trajectories.
The circular ice pieces covering all directions, up, down, left and right, are not attacks that can be avoided in the air where one cannot move.
“Yes yes yes yes, yes——!!”
However, the flying disk was avoided by the madman using unnatural movements and unreasonable methods.
He twisted in the air with irregular movements, used uncontrollable spinning movements to escape outside the attack range of the disk, and let out excited screams.
"What, is this...what?"
"——It's love!"
Emilia groaned because of his disgusting movements, but the madman gave an answer that was not really an answer, and then exuded a majesty like a return gift, and the murderous intention that rushed towards her face made Emilia feel it on her snow-white skin.
trembling
The madman closed his hands forcefully with a fighting spirit worthy of her warning——
"The seal of my love! The baptism of love! Accept it! Just a trial, come on!!"
Feeling the ice mist being penetrated, Emilia showed a stiff expression for the first time since the battle began, because she sensed that invisible violence was coming from all directions, blocking all escape routes, leaving her with no way out.
escape
Being in mid-air, unable to move freely, this is the reply to the previous blow, there is no way to avoid it.
Then, in fact, his attack was directed towards Emilia's chest - stabbing into the center of her heart, brutally piercing it.
The destructive power penetrated his chest and opened a hole. Seeing that the blow almost penetrated his body, the man's eyes widened.
"This is the end of love! The fruit of my love! The evidence that the witch has responded to my love! But there is no need to sigh! Even if it loses its inner nature, this container can still be used by us——"
"Hey!"
"——Guwa!?"
The man's declaration of victory was interrupted again, and a blow from directly behind knocked his body away again.
The attack launched from the blind corner was completely beyond the madman's expectations. Compared with the damage he suffered, what the madman couldn't understand was the situation in front of him. In front of him, Emilia patted Parker's balls and came with him on her shoulders.
A silent high five
At this time, the ice sculpture of Emilia that had been pierced through the chest a moment ago was turned into powder. Even the reflection of light was adjusted, and it could even look like the real Emilia.
"That's not okay. How can you look elsewhere during a battle? You'll get tricked?"
The madman, whose body was flying in the air and spinning violently, had no time to care about his surroundings. He easily fell for the fake Emilia prepared by Parker and exposed his back unpreparedly.
The preparations have been done to this extent, and Emilia is not someone who will make mistakes.
"I won't let you escape this time."
The madman fell straight after being kicked away. His hands and feet were locked in ice cuffs, sealing his ability to move and the opponent's means of resistance. Then Emilia completed the entire combo.
The moment the man fell to the ground, his limbs covered with ice fixed his body to the ground. Emilia in mid-air was directly above him, aiming at the madman and falling straight down.
The distance between the two people quickly shortened. The madman looked at Emilia's approach, widened his eyes, and sneered.
"Wow, this is really hardworking!"
"Thank you, just let me do it!"
Emilia landed in the middle of the sneering man's body and stepped deeply into it with her soles.
Under the force that would crush the bones, the madman struggled and moaned in pain, but it only lasted for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the ice spread from the center point where the sole of the foot stepped on, and all parts of the madman except his limbs were stained white with frost and were completely frozen.
The madman didn't even utter a death scream, so he lost his life forever as part of the blooming ice flower.
——This is the result of the battle between Emilia and Madman
