Chapter 25: The cold cuts deep all the same
The surface of the water in the moat froze.
And we were in that water when it did. Unless something was done, we would be completely immobilized.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
<<Oi, Baal! Whats the meaning of this!? Oi!? I know you can hear me, oi!>>
Tsk, hes not responding.Its all because of him that were in this mess. I wont forgive you for this, Baal!
Then I thought of something even worse than Baals incompetence. What if the people of this village had captured him and made him lie to us?
Theyve set us up?
Despite my panic, I tried to move forward. However, the frozen water made my progress slow. The other members were in a similar struggle.
Ha! You think this is enough to stop me? Ill show you!
While everyone else was helpless against the frozen water, the boss and the boss alone made great progress on going forward. Before long, the boss reached the other side of the frozen moat.
Lass! Youre the one who used magic to freeze the water, werent you!?
The one the boss scowled at was the blue-haired girl who was the closest among the villagers to the water.
Oraaa!!
The boss swung his axe at the girl.
I couldnt believe what happened next. The girl not only managed to avoid the bosss powerful attack, she was also able to snuck in a couple of slashes with the swords in her hand while moving to his side.
The boss had a Gift called [Axe Techniques].
We got beat one by one.
How can this be!? Their movements, theyre of amateurs, arent they!? So how?
What shocked me more though was bosss fight with the blue-haired girl.
Guhthis lass
The boss was bleeding all over his body.
Has all that bleeding made him slow? Noits something else
My bodys gotten heavier? Is this your magics doing!?
Correct. Each time I slashed you, I lowered your bodys temperature a little. Your muscles made it hard for my blades to slash deep enough, but the cold cuts deep all the same, wouldnt you agree?
I think Ive heard about youThe Frozen Blades Princess of the Bazurata family, thats you, right? but then, what the hell are you doing all the way out here?
I have my reasons.
Tsk. Well, youve pushed me like no one else hasand I admit defeat
After his declaration of defeat, the bosss large body fell forward.
The boss has been defeated? Y-youre kidding me, right?
After seeing that, there was just no way our group could muster up any will to fight further.
And so, we surrendered.
