The reaper moves.

Without hesitation, Sylvia ran and cast magic.

“Ice Wall, Waterfall, Thunderbolt.”

Block the road with a wall of ice, pour down a waterfall to wet it, and then drop a lightning strike.

The three magics were implemented with a narrow difference.

A thunderbolt that tore through the air fell on the Shinigami along with a waterfall.

Electricity tore through the pouring water.

Sylvia felt that it was still alive inside.

‘It’s sturdy.’

Eventually, the water spread out in all directions, and the Shinigami appeared.

It looked like it was wearing a tent made of fire.

‘Fire-type wizard?’

Usually, wizards use the type of magic they are most confident in for their first spell.

Just like Sylvia uses water and ice type magic first.

‘Let’s not jump to conclusions. ‘It may be a consideration of compatibility.’

The Shinigami muttered something.

Immediately after that, a feeling of pressure fell over Sylvia’s head.

She dodged the ice road without even looking.

An ice spear fell where it was and dug into the ground.

‘The density… .’

It was almost similar to his own ice spear.

Even, like Sylvia, the Reaper laid an ice road to pursue her.

‘That… . ‘Are you sure you can only use Vivian besides me?’

Doubts are left unresolved.

Sylvia faced him head-on without increasing the distance.

“Gust, Reverse Pierce, Vine Way.”

A gust of wind like a blade blew and pushed away the approaching Shinigami.

The ground trembled to spit out sharp rock fragments, and vines sprouted from somewhere, blocking the reaper’s path.

but.

“Ice Field.”

As the ground was frozen by the Reaper’s magic, all of Sylvia’s magic stopped.

Sylvia quickly stepped back and was out of the magic’s range.

‘The voice, for some reason… .’

The Shinigami approached while maintaining his speed and swung his staff.

Before I knew it, a sword had been made out of ice.

‘Are you confident in close combat?’

Sylvia decided not to give distance.

When I made an ice path and slid backwards, the floor cracked and ice flowers bloomed.

‘Ice Bloom!’

The way to deal with it is to not step on the surface of the petals.

Sylvia used her cane to lift herself upright on the thin surface of ice.

He performed acrobatics while standing on his head, relying only on a cane.

“Wind up.”

First, I tried to get out of my seat due to the wind.

However, the Shinigami took aim at that and cast a spell.

‘Why did you use the Ice Spear while in the air… .’

The ice spear of that density earlier cannot be blocked with the same magic.

then… .

“Hellfire, Ground Wall.”

A swirling fireball shot out from within the sphere and collided with the flying ice spear.

Immediately after, a wall of rocks appeared in front of Sylvia, who was floating in the air.

-Kuddeuddeuk… !

An ice spear, whose strength had weakened due to melting, slightly broke through the wall and protruded.

Silvia, relieved, kicked the wall and took a large step back.

‘Somehow, the fighting method seems strangely familiar… . like… .’

There was no time to think.

A tsunami filled with lightning storms rushed in from the front as if they were going to eat us.

“Up to this technology… ?”

Sylvia muttered absentmindedly without realizing it.

This is one of the techniques I use.

We need to put off panicking and defend ourselves.

“Volcanic Eruption.”

It’s a technique that consumes mana like crazy, but in this situation, there was nothing better than this.

When I touched the ground, it exploded in a circular shape and lava erupted in all directions.

The lava that soared as if it would cover the sky met the tsunami and hardened.

Thanks to this, the momentum of the tsunami was dampened.

A situation where the view is obscured by randomly generated rocks and steam.

“Breeze.”

Sylvia blew a light wind and blew the moisture in the direction of the dead.

“Frozen Crystal.”

Freezing all the moisture in the atmosphere to create ice crystals.

“Chain, anchor.”

They fired all at once toward the coordinates where they could sense the Shinigami.

Lava and waves combined to form a threatening rock structure, but it quickly collapsed.

My vision clears.

The appearance that Sylvia expected did not appear.

The Shinigami spread the ice barrier in the shape of a hemisphere and blocked the attack with ease.

‘It is not limited by its properties… .’

One by one, commonalities pile up.

can not understand.

I feel anxious and don’t want to understand, so I turn away.

‘It’s a formidable opponent. No, it’s a higher level than a corps commander, so it’s natural.’

I measured my opponent and tried to beat them depending on their level.

But I changed my mind.

The purpose is to endure.

There is no need to win.

‘I was almost dead when I caught Boubri, so it won’t work.’

As if reading Sylvia’s thoughts, the Shinigami quickly approached.

Sylvia widened the distance and used magic to keep them in check.

The two wizards created an ice road in all directions and gave chase by slipping.

“Water Ball, Raining.”

Large water droplets fall from the sky and roll around.

“Water press.”

The balls came together as if they were going to crush the Reaper, but all the water was vaporized by the hellfire that the Reaper shot out in all directions.

Sylvia gritted her teeth.

‘He has better mobility than me. It means that the speed of making magic crystals is fast… .’

It’s difficult to buy time just by running away.

The opponent accepts your magic too leisurely to fight back.

‘What should I do…? . uh?’

-widely!

Sylvia’s feet caught on the ground.

Ice crystals were not formed properly.

That place was a hot ground due to the Hellfire.

-Tzuzu!

The reaper gets closer.

Sylvia did not even stand up, but stretched out her hand in the direction from which the reaper was coming.

In this case, you need to counterattack from the front and buy time.

I stretched out my hand and chanted.

“Ice Spear, Spread.”

The other person stretched out his hand and spoke in the same way as he did.

“Ice Spear, Spread.”

-Tu-kwa-kwa-kwak!

A short ice spear fired as a buckshot collided in the middle.

The ice fragments that crashed into pieces scattered and bounced in all directions.

Among them, several of the opponent’s ice spears became embedded in Sylvia’s body.

“Off… !”

‘The density is ridiculous… .’

It’s not just density.

The number of ice spears fired was also high among the Shinigami.

On the other hand, the ice spear he shot could not even pierce the opponent.

Blood flows from the pierced rib.

“No, hehe… .”

My lungs with holes take in my breath with difficulty.

‘I need to buy more time… . ‘This can’t go on.’

You must face it with the readiness to die.

‘If you use the surrounding ice crystals… .’

“Frozen Drake… .”

At Sylvia’s words, ice crystals quickly began to gather and form the shape of a dragon.

The Shinigami did not even look at that, but moved his lips while looking at Sylvia.

“Frozen Drake.”

“What… ?”

An equally ice-shaped dragon is created above the Shinigami.

Even though it was cast later than Silvia, the speed was faster, so the two dragons were completed at similar timing.

However, the Shinigami dragon was much larger.

Two dragons glide and collide.

The loud noise of huge glass breaking pierces my ears.

What was hit was Sylvia’s dragon.

It’s the same this time too.

It could not win not only in size but also in density.

Sylvia’s broken dragon scatters like ice rain.

Like lightning cutting through rain, the Grim Reaper’s ice dragon glided fiercely towards Sylvia.

“Ice wall, river flow, fire wall, wood barrier… .”

Although he quickly cast all kinds of defensive magic, he was unable to stop his powerful unique creation.

“Ugh… !”

The ice dragon swallowed Silvia and threw her to the floor.

The collapsing ice structure put pressure on Sylvia’s body one after another.

She was buried in ice.

Sylvia’s blood-stained hand stretched out over the ice crystal.

“Ha, ha, heo… !”

Sylvia coughed up blood and managed to get up on the cold, sharp floor.

‘Not yet, not yet… .’

cold.

My body is shaking.

The ice crystals turn red due to the blood that has escaped.

There’s some noise coming from the video mirror, but I can’t hear it.

My senses become dull.

I miss Ian.

“Ha… .”

Sylvia turned her blurry gaze around.

Rear troops are far away.

Although they are here to help, they will not be able to intervene.

Because the scale of the fight is so big, you’ll get caught up.

‘At this distance, with this skill…’ .’

After using it, you will collapse from mana exhaustion, but there is nothing you can do about it since you have reached this point.

“Absolute product… .”

“Absolute Zero.”

The Shinigami was faster than Sylvia.

Sylvia’s second unique creation and wide-range special move.

A magic that cannot even be compared to the Frozen Drake in terms of killing power alone.

White snowflakes spread out rapidly in all directions around the Shinigami.

“Not… Okay… .”

She tried to escape, but a snowflake got stuck in Sylvia’s body.

The snowflake expanded rapidly, tore Sylvia’s skin, and grew into an ice flower.

The grown ice flowers damage the blood vessels and muscles under the skin and send cold roots to the bones.

As thin ice roots grow, they split the bones.

“Aaaagh-!”

Sylvia screamed and collapsed.

It’s a pain that twists your whole body.

I have to stand up and avoid it, but I just can’t.

The flying snowflakes continue to hit my body one by one.

Every time that happens, the flowers increase.

The ice flowers that have taken root in the body break through the bones and organs in a promiscuous manner.

Sylvia became a sculpture with ice flowers blooming all over her body.

“Ahhh… ! Haha… . Ugh… .”

Sylvia’s lips trembled.

It’s literally bone-chilling.

The coldness of the ice flower steals life force.

Blood flows from all over the body, which has holes in it to make flowers bloom.

‘What do we do… . There’s still more to fight… . What should I do… .’

In the face of a powerful enemy, Sylvia slowly lost her will to fight.

That moment.

The Shinigami glanced somewhere and quickly rolled over.

A huge fireball flew to the place where the Shinigami was and exploded.

Immediately after, someone blocked Sylvia’s path.

Like a burning flame, brilliant and dazzling red hair fluttered about.

Sylvia looked up her back helplessly.

A voice was heard at the same time from the back and the earring image mirror.

It rings like an echo.

“South, Vivian. Arrived.”

-South, Vivian. Im here.

Vivian looked back and smiled.

“You worked hard.”

“Ah… .”

“Now leave it to me.”

Vivian stared at the Reaper.

Sylvia followed his gaze, but suddenly the world became brighter and she frowned.

“Ugh… !”

The light that pierced my eyes was warm.

The ice flowers that had risen on my body melted, and my wounds healed quickly.

As if receiving a healing miracle from a priest.

At this speed, it is almost at Aria level.

“This, this… . Uh… ?”

When Sylvia opened her eyes, she couldn’t help but be even more surprised.

It was clearly a moonlit night, but before I knew it, it was morning.

No, if you look closely, it’s not morning.

The sky is still dark.

But, to the north beyond the Demon King’s Castle.

The sun rose and illuminated the plains this late at night.

It was too low, too close, and too big to be the sun.

The phenomenon that Sylvia could not understand continued.

From the sky, meteors began to fall.
