Chapter 134: Frozen Hell and Icy Sky
"Greetings, successor. My name is 'Sakura'. I exist here to pass on the legacy of the 'Moment' to future generations."
A voice echoed in FrostNova's mind.
"Next, I will demonstrate for you the technique to break through this situation. But the true blade exists only within your heart."
After a moment of silence, "FrostNova" opened her eyes and stepped forward, moving behind, beside, and in front of Amiya and Logos!
"Frost...?! Operator FrostNova, are you alright? These attacks are extremely dangerous. Please take cover behind us."
Amiya keenly sensed the changes in FrostNova—not just in appearance, but also in her spiritual state before and after. However, merely maintaining the barrier already occupied the vast majority of her energy, leaving her no time to ponder the strangeness of the situation.
"FrostNova" did not reply, nor did she choose to draw the sword at her waist. The Stigmata on her back grew slightly warm as Honkai energy was output at an extremely high rate.
Hilt, blade, tip...
A breathtakingly beautiful weapon took shape inch by inch in her palm, entwined with wind and snow, translucent as ice—a tachi forged from soul steel.
Spirit Blade: Frozen Hell and Icy Sky!
"FrostNova" felt every ounce of power within her body, her techniques, and everything contained within her Stigmata being fully unleashed under the guidance of the will named "Sakura," without the slightest hesitation, as if she was born to wield it!
"Successor, do you see it?"
"?"
Just as the question arose in FrostNova's heart, she abruptly realized that her "perspective" had become enriched. The movements of all things seemed to slow down countless times.
Even the overwhelming tide of blood appeared to FrostNova at this moment as nothing more than a massive entity composed of "lines" and "points." Yet, at the intersections of those points and lines, there were occasional areas of disharmony.
"Look, those are the flaws. Everything has its flaws. What we must do is seize that fleeting opportunity, and then—"
Frozen Hell and Icy Sky was raised and swung with formidable force!
Clang!
Facing the oncoming tide of blood, Frozen Hell and Icy Sky emitted a clear hum as it was swung upward from below!
At this moment, heaven and earth froze!
Even "an instant" could not describe the brevity of that moment.
Anything that stood before that blade was cleaved in two without a doubt.
A "white line" that pierced heaven and earth sliced through the air, across the sky, severed the sea of blood, and reached the Bloodfiend Lord at an incredible speed.
This strike was far too fast. By the time blood dripped and his right hand along with half his chest slid to the ground in a gruesome manner, he hadn't even had time to react.
Momentary Slash: 【Momentary Samsara】!
Tap! Tap!
"FrostNova's" body moved like a nimble swan goose. Her long boots lightly tapped against the walls of the parted sea of blood on either side. With a few leverages, she arrived before the Bloodfiend Lord.
"You!"
Chaotic Blossoms: 【Chrysanthemum】!
The icy wind of Frozen Hell and Icy Sky pierced through his chest, head, thigh, and arm without a doubt. Though only one strike was seen, four vivid blood blossoms simultaneously erupted on the Bloodfiend Lord's body.
Compared to the still immature FrostNova, Sakura, as a master of swordsmanship, was clearly far superior, suppressing him in mere moments.
She did not stop. Sword light continuously blossomed upon the Bloodfiend Lord's body. Whether it was the seamless connection between techniques or that eerie speed, it all gave a feeling of being utterly overwhelmed.
Unlike Kevin's absolute suppression through sheer power—which brought more a sense of helplessness due to an overwhelming gap—the current FrostNova's suppression through skill brought an entirely different feeling: the humiliation of being toyed with and the anger of being suppressed. Only these two emotions remained in the Bloodfiend Lord's heart.
Without a doubt, for a Lord of a Royal Court, this was immense humiliation.
"Remarkable vitality."
She had pierced his vital parts three hundred and twenty-seven times in total, including but not limited to his head, eyes, heart, and other areas.
As for other external injuries or sword marks on his torso, they were densely packed, numbering at least over a thousand.
The magnificent longsword in "FrostNova's" hand was already stained with crystalline blood. If not cleaned, she likely wouldn't even be able to sheathe it.
Generally speaking, Frozen Hell and Icy Sky's opponents were not humans. But enemies with such immortality and regenerative abilities were far more troublesome than large Honkai Beasts.
Ultimately, this body and the merely "projected" weapon still limited her performance.
"What exactly happened to FrostNova?"
Amiya had never seen such a terrifying side of "FrostNova." Though usually cold in temperament, she got along with everyone without issue—at most just speaking less.
But today, what did Amiya witness? FrostNova single-handedly suppressing the Bloodfiend Lord in all aspects? And that swordsmanship that could be called the pinnacle of humanity?
Why was she having such a dream?
"Perhaps it's a contingency left by Mr. Kevin."
Logos had certainly seen that 【Adam】 initially appeared with Kevin's appearance. Being connected to that one meant things couldn't be too bad.
"Don't worry, Amiya. If my guess is correct..."
——————
"Heh, I admit your strength is impressive, little Amiya. But with just this level, you are not qualified to kill an Ancient One. That power that suddenly appeared on you absolutely cannot be without cost. How long can it aid you? An hour? A day? Or a week..."
The flesh pierced on his face was once again pulled together by writhing flesh buds and reattached, soon restoring itself completely.
The Lord's face was visibly much paler. His eyebrows and eyes were still covered with some remaining ice shards embedded in them. Clearly, this method was not without cost for him.
FrostNova did not answer. Frozen Hell and Icy Sky slowly dissipated in her hand. Her pupils returned to their original color, and not a trace of pink remained at the tips of her hair.
Clearly, as if confirming the Bloodfiend Lord's words, that damned state of hers had finally ended!
"Finally over."
He deeply exhaled. Next would be time for a final reckoning.
A Lord of a Royal Court must not be insulted! The little Amiya before him clearly did not understand this principle.
"Yes, it's over."
An inexplicable expression appeared on FrostNova's face because Sakura had said the same to her.
"3... 2..."
"Playing tricks."
He still retained a final shred of caution in his heart, driving his creations to surge toward FrostNova.
But suddenly, almost all bloodfiend creations on the field—including even the Bloodfiend Lord himself—stiffened almost simultaneously!
"?!"
He looked at those ice crystals embedded on his body's surface. A lethal aura made his scalp tingle.
Long-accumulated sword energy and cold energy hidden within erupted simultaneously from inside out.
Boom!
The Bloodfiend Lord was shredded into a bloody mist by the two forces. In his original standing position remained a deep pit where pale and bloody hues intertwined and reverberated...
