Chapter 191 Clashing

Steve lunged with full power and speed toward subject number 2.

As soon as he knew how to use his power, Steve immediately created fire to envelop his hands. Steve then threw a fist at subject number 2.

*DRAAAKKK!*

Steve's fist hits her ice blade. Subject number 2 gritted her teeth and then mobilized her legs to kick Steve.

Yet Steve could already see through her intentions. He caught subject number 2's leg with his fiery hand. Then use his will to make the fire even bigger.

*SWOOOOSSSHHH!*

Steve's fire grew and burned subject number 2's leg. However, she didn't look in pain.

When Steve turned his head, he saw that she had covered her leg with a layer of ice.

Steve didn't expect that to happen and it knocked him off guard.

Subject number 2 uses another swing of his sword at Steve.

*SYUUUT!*

Fortunately, Steve was still able to back his head in time so that the sword only grazed his chin. Even so, Steve immediately felt that there was a frost running from his chin.

Steve stretched his arms forward and sent a torrent of fire toward subject number 2.

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

With that Steve jumped backward while screams of agony could be heard coming from the woman.

Steve felt that his lower face froze instantly. He turned and saw his reflection in a silver tube of equipment and saw that it was true.

Frost spread from the part of his chin that was grazed by subject number 2's ice sword. And the frost spread very quickly.

Steve will it to direct his power of fire to the frozen part.

*CESSS...*

A sizzling sound was heard accompanied by white steam. He managed to stop the freezing with his fire power.

Steve stared at subject number 2 who had managed to put out his fire.

He created fire again in his hands. Steve intends to use bigger power.

Based on what he experienced before, Steve concluded that if he wanted to increase his power he just had to use more will.

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

*SWOOOSSSHHH!*

The flames in his hands grew bigger. Now Steve's hand looks like two bonfires that suddenly appear.

Subject number 2 bared her teeth while staring at Steve with angry eyes.

Her blue eyes lit up even brighter. Her entire body gave off cold steam and the cold steam instantly froze the walls and equipment it touched.

Thomas and several scientists are still watching from a distance.

There was thick glass that separated the experiment room from where they were looking.

The scientists took cover from behind glass which seemed to provide them with security.

Even though they knew that the glass wouldn't be able to withstand the full force of the two of them, the scientists still couldn't leave the experiment room to see the progress of their project.

"As you can see, General. The subjects started fighting with their awakened Magic power," Thomas was still able to speak. His voice was now trembling with excitement and fear.

It seems that it has become his habit to keep talking even though everything has been caught by the recording camera.

"Subject number 0 is still in his containment. He is observing the fight without the slightest fear."

Then Thomas' camera panned to subject number 0 - Conrad - who was still sitting on his wooden chair staring at the fight.

"You should know, General. We unlocked the containment of subject number 0 and told him to get out. But he hasn't moved an inch from his position."

Thomas didn't stare at Conrad for too long because the real fight had already started.

Steve and subject number 2 clash with each other. Fire and ice spread in all directions. The two power push and try to destroy each other.

Now Steve's body is being enveloped by fire. It was as if he was being burned alive. But in fact, the fire did not burn his skin.

Subject number 2 is in almost the same state. It's just that what enveloped her body was a layer of ice.

She looked like she was wearing armor made of pure ice. Her body also emits cold steam.

The two forces faced each other creating a sharp contrast to the experiment room.

One was hot red flames, while the other was frozen bluish ice.

The scientists and crew who were still staying seemed to see scenes coming out of animation films or fantasy books they had seen and read.

Steve sent his fiery fist toward subject number 2's face.

*DUAAGHHH!*

Subject number 2's head swung sideways from the force of Steve's fist. The layer of ice that protected her face melted instantly.

But a moment later the ice immediately regenerated itself and the new ice immediately covered up the part that had melted.

"HYAARGHHH!"

Subject number 2 shouted as she swung her ice blade at Steve's head.

Steve duck with perfect timing. He was once again able to see the intentions of subject number 2 easily because she only fought according to her brutal instincts.

Steve threw a fiery fist at subject number 2's stomach.

*DOUGGGGGHHH!*

Once again, the punch hit subject number 2 with a huge impact. Sending her flying backward and hitting the wall.

As soon as she fell, the cold immediately spread.

This did not escape Steve's observation.

'She brought out her power without thinking. Well, I guess you will tend to do that when you lose your sanity.'

In contrast to her, Steve focused his strength on one important side one at a time.

Just like he did before, where he only focused his fire power into his fist. So that Steve can create a big impact on his attacks.

But Steve's body was still enveloped in flames. This he did to protect his body from the woman's frozen attack.

Not long after that, the woman had risen again.

The hole in the ice that covered her stomach was starting to close.

Steve now knew how to beat the woman. Even if he wasn't sure if that was the right way, at least he had something.
