Chapter 104: Battle of Extremes: Frost Empress vs. Crimson Reaper

Chapter 104: Battle of Extremes: Frost Empress vs. Crimson ReaperThe moment the announcer declared the start of the battle, Sia acted immediately. With a graceful sweep of her arm, she summoned two ice beasts,

The first was a hulking, four-legged beast, its icy armor covered in jagged spikes, the second was more ethereal an ice bird that slithered through the air, its transparent body shimmering like glass.

The crowd watched in awe as the beasts roared to life, a mist of frost following every breath they took. Sia stood in the center, calm and composed, her icy blue eyes fixed on Nyx.

Nyx, however, remained still, her crimson eyes locked on Sia with an unsettling calm. She didn't summon any beasts, her crimson eyes watching Sia's monsters with an amused smirk. The crowd began to murmur in confusion.

"Is she not using any monsters?"

Sia remained unbothered, raising her hand and commanding the ice beasts forward. The massive, armored creature lunged first, each step spreading ice on the grass.

But then, Nyx's entire body began to glow with dark crimson energy. Shadows twisted around her, and her beastification began.

Her black hair turned longer, streaks of red glowing like embers, and her body transformed, surrounded by an aura of crimson and shadow.

Mechanical, claw-like appendages erupted from her back, their jagged edges dripping with energy.

With a burst of speed, Nyx met Sia's armored beast head-on, her clawed appendages tearing through its icy armor with a savage force. Ice and shards flew everywhere as Nyx ripped the creature apart with ease. The crowd roared in awe and disbelief.

Sia's expression barely changed. She raised her hand again, and the bird dove down, but Nyx was relentless. Her claws slashed through the bird, and it shattered into icy fragments that scattered across the battlefield.

The crowd gasped as they watched her change, some in awe, others in fear.

"That's Nyx's style," someone in the stands shouted. "She never uses monsters, she only fight with her beastification."

The realization spread quickly. Nyx wasn't like other beast masters, she fought with raw, violent power, using her own beastification to become a living weapon.

Nyx grinned, her sharp teeth visible. The swirling crimson energy around her pulsed as if alive.

"Why bother with a beast battle, when I can tear you apart with my own hands? There's nothing like tearing through your opponent, shredding them to pieces... Don't you think, Ice Empress?" she taunted.

Sia didn't flinch, with a wave of her hand, she called upon one of her ice beasts, an elegant creature with a body of pure frost, glowing with ethereal light.

Its form resembled a great wolf, tall and menacing, its breath misting in the frigid air. The crowd gasped at the beauty and raw power of Sia's beast as it stood by her side, its icy claws scraping the ground.

"Great," Nyx growled, launching herself toward Sia's ice beast with terrifying speed.

With a burst of speed, she lunged forward, her claws slashing through the icy air as she met Sia's beast beast head-on. The impact was explosive, ice shards flying in every direction as Nyx tore through the creature, her claws ripping it apart in a brutal display of power. The crowd roared, caught between excitement and shock.

Sia barely reacted. Her gaze remained cold and focused as she summoned a floating orb to fire a barrage of ice spears at Nyx. But Nyx was already moving, her speed unmatched as she dodged each attack effortlessly, her laughter echoing across the arena. She was toying with the ice beasts, slashing them apart with sadistic glee.

The crowd was in awe of Nyx's destructive power, but Sia was far from finished.

"You rely a lot on chaos. I prefer precision stillness."

And then, the moment arrived.

Sia raised both hands, and the entire battlefield erupted in ice.

The ground beneath them froze even further, the icy energy surging up and covering the battlefield. Massive ice pillars shot up from the earth, creating a maze of frozen structures.

The temperature dropped even further, frost creeping up Nyx's legs as the arena transformed into a frozen land under Sia's control.

"This is it! The Frost Empress' field spell!" a spectator shouted, excitement rippling through the stands.

Sia's field spell was one of the most feared, and now the crowd understood why. Every inch of the battlefield was hers to command, every movement Nyx made risked being trapped in the ice.

The audience held its breath, watching as Nyx's movements slowed, her claws struggling against the frost that was starting to cling to her.

But Nyx's grin never wavered.

"...I love it," she hissed, her voice laced with both amusement and malice. "With your full potential... it just makes breaking you even more fun."

With a furious roar, Nyx shattered the ice around her with a powerful swing of her claws, sending chunks of frozen debris flying through the air.

She lunged toward Sia, her claws crackling with crimson energy. Sia, in response, summoned a wall of solid ice in front of her, blocking Nyx's attack. The impact was thunderous, and cracks spread across the ice wall.

Both locked eyes, Sia with a deep calm, Nyx with a twisted smirk, then Nyx's crimson claws glowed with chaotic energy.

With a primal roar, she slashed through it, shattering the ice into countless shards that exploded across the arena. The crowd gasped in awe as Nyx weaved between the debris.

Sia, unfazed, raised her hand and unleashed a blast of freezing wind, sharp as knives, aiming directly at Nyx. The air crackled with icy energy, but Nyx dodged it with a graceful roll, her movements wild but controlled. She smirked, fully in her element now, her red eyes gleaming with dark intent.

"You can't hide behind your walls forever!" Nyx shouted.

In response, Sia summoned another ice beast, a massive, multi-legged creature covered in jagged, crystalline armor. It charged toward Nyx with terrifying speed, its legs pounding the frozen ground, sending tremors through the arena.

Simultaneously, a smaller ice beast, slender and swift, circled from above, swooping down like a bird of prey, its wings leaving trails of frost in the air.

Nyx snarled, ducking under the massive creature's swipe and leaping to avoid the smaller beast's icy dive. She was fast, but every move she made left traces of frost creeping up her

arms and legs.

Sia's freezing influence was slowly encasing her, and with every attack Nyx dodged, she had to shatter the growing ice from her limbs, slowing her down bit by bit.

Sia, cold and composed, barely spoke, but her focus was razor-sharp. She raised her hand again, and icy tendrils shot up from the ground, twisting around Nyx's legs, trying to bind her

in place.

Nyx growled, tearing through the ice with her claws, her movements becoming more frantic as she fought to stay free.

Nyx lunged forward, her claws crackling with red energy, aiming directly for Sia. Her attack was vicious, forcing Sia to sidestep just in time. The crowd erupted as Nyx closed the distance, almost landing a direct hit on the Frost Empress.

For the first time, Sia had to move. She conjured a beam of pure ice, firing it at Nyx, who dodged just in time, the freezing blast grazing her shoulder. The air between them buzzed with tension, the clash between Nyx's chaotic, destructive force and Sia's calculated, unyielding control.

But Sia was starting to dominate. Each step Nyx took became heavier, the ice around her limbs spreading faster. The crowd could see it, the relentless cold was taking its toll on Nyx, her movements slowing, her attacks less precise.

Nyx roared in defiance, slashing through another ice beast that charged at her. But as she shattered its body into a thousand pieces, the frost clung to her arms, spreading further up her shoulders, making her attacks more labored.

Sia was summoning ice beasts faster than Nyx could destroy them, forcing the dark warrior to keep moving, to keep dodging, all while her own strength waned. Sёarch* The nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

With a final growl, Nyx hurled herself toward Sia, her claws raised high for a decisive strike. But just as she was about to land her blow, Sia's eyes flashed coldly, and she raised both arms.

The temperature dropped in an instant.

A massive surge of icy energy exploded from Sia, covering the entire battlefield in an instant.

The ground cracked under the weight of the sudden freeze, and towering ice formations shot up from the arena floor. The audience gasped as a wave of frost cascaded over Nyx, freezing

her mid-air.

In mere seconds, Nyx's entire body was encased in solid ice. Her menacing form was now frozen like a statue, her claws still outstretched in a final, futile attempt to strike.

The arena fell silent. Sia lowered her arms, her breath steady as the icy mist cleared. She had

won.

The crowd erupted in thunderous applause, awed by the sheer display of power they had just witnessed. Sia stood calmly, her icy gaze fixed on Nyx's frozen form. She walked over, observing her opponent with a critical eye.

"You fought well," Sia muttered softly to herself, barely audible over the cheers of the crowd.

"But you lack discipline."

With a final glance at her frozen opponent, Sia turned and walked away, her expression as cold and calm as ever. She had won this battle, but her mind was already on the next.

The announcer's voice echoed through the arena.

"And the winner of this match, the Frost Empress... Sia Verizion!"

The crowd roared, their cheers reverberating through the stadium as Sia exited the battlefield.
