CH 113

Kidnapping Case 7

The place changed a little, and Chris and the man with the sword were facing each other.

The scars of a fierce battle are spread everywhere.

Warehouses are collapsing, trees are frozen and knocked over.

“It’s time for you to give in, okay?”

Chris said, and the man laughed in amusement.

“Hahahaha, that’s funny you should say that!”

‘…He’s really tough, I hate him.’

The man has a good amount of wounds, if not fatal.

That’s just as well.

Chris Clifford’s strength is among the best of the three stars.

The name [Demon of Freezing] was given to him because his opponents were reminded of a demon by Chris’s far-reaching strength.

How many people would be able to take her seriously like that and stay safe?

“Hahahahahaha, this is the best day ever! Imagine if I could slay you …Oh, I’m tingling.”

“You’re a messy, noisy one, …Jack.”

“Do you know my name? That’s an honor.”

“That’s right, first-degree criminal [Jack the Manslayer].”

Every time the danger level increases, the criminal grade goes up.

The first class of them is the highest …i.e. one of the most dangerous.

As a side note, there is a disaster class above the first class.

In the past, [witches] and [lunatics] were chased out of the country as disaster class criminals.

“I’ve become famous too, even though all I do is slay people quietly.”

“How many people have you killed with that sword?”

“I don’t remember the number of kills I’ve made, all I remember is the pleasure I get from slashing—.”

Jack’s eyes narrowed in fascination and he looked ecstatic.

“I’m not going to reason with a murderer, but …… go fuck yourself, asshole.”

Chris immediately made a pointed icicle appear above the man.

—no-chant magic.

The icicle falls on Jack’s head, but —spangs.

Jack took a swing at the icicle and broke it in half.

“Hyo Sen Ranbu.”

Chris changed the shape of the icicle he had been slashed with, causing countless small ice blocks to appear.

They picked up speed towards Jack.

Jack jumps back and instantly leaves the scene.

“Oborozuki, Oborozuki.”

Then he swings his sword and drops only the unavoidable ice blocks.

His movements are soft.

With minimal movement, he sliced off a block of ice.

But in that split second, Chris had moved on to his next attack.

“Ice fog.”

The whole area is covered with fog.

Robbed of his vision, Jack closed his eyes.

Then, under his breath, he sharpen his senses.

Next thing he know.

“Amamitsuki.”

As he swung his sword in all directions, he felt a definite response.

Ice bullets that fall with a flurry.

In this battle, a moment’s carelessness can be fatal.

But even so, Jack took it as pleasure.

“Ohhhh, that feels so good!”

He exclaimed with an expression of unbridled excitement.

He then used his body enhancements to fly forward.

Even in this place, where his vision had been taken away, he was still able to locate Chris.

Sure enough, there was Chris at the end of Jack’s path.

Then, he quickly closes the distance between him and Chris.

Jack with a grin.

It is true that Chris has an extraordinary talent as a wizard.

But we’re in Jack’s time zone here.

He gripped his sword tightly — and tried to swing it —.

“—blood-tie.”

Jack felt a creepy feeling that froze him from the inside out.

At the same time, Jack’s body was no longer moving as he wished against his will.

Chris takes that moment to point his palm at Jack.

“Reveal the Ice Dragon: —-“

A dragon made of ice appears from Chris’s right hand.

Then the ice dragon attacked Jack, trying to swallow him.

Jack used his body enhancements to force his body to move, and then he verticalizes his sword and puts it in the ice dragon’s mouth.

However, the sword that touched the ice dragon froze in an instant.

“… …”

Jack’s instincts alerted him to the danger.

He doesn’t hesitate to remove his hand from his sword and at the same time kicks the ground and flies to the side.

The ice dragon passed by Jack, as if it could only go straight ahead.

“Oh …this is no use to me anymore.”

Jack swings his arms in a dangling manner.

The ice had invaded his right arm up to his elbow and his left arm almost to his shoulder.

If he had misjudged even for a moment, his entire body would have been covered in ice.

“You have no weapons, your body is useless, why don’t you just give up?”

“‘Haha, give up? How can you give up when it feels so good?”

The situation is overwhelmingly against Jack.

But still his eyes are glazed over.

“Apparently, stupidity can only be cured by death.”

Chris said with a sigh.

That moment.

One crow pitter-pattered onto Jack’s shoulder.

And he seemed to be whispering something in Jack’s ear.

“Well, it looks like that’s it.”

“That doesn’t sound like ‘surrender’ to me.”

“Hahahaha! Yeah, it’s a real shame, I’d love to see your guts next time I see you.”

“Next time? Don’t be a fool, you think I’ll let you go?”

Chris instantly lowered the ambient temperature.

It’s so cold it chokes you.

If you’re a normal person, you’ll be terrified of the chill that freezes you from deep within your body.

But.

“See you later!”

Jack said with the casualness of saying goodbye to his best friend.

“—icebreaker.”

Chris instantly put ice around Jack.

But —there was no Jack at the end of the magic that Chris had invoked.

“……He is a fast runner.”

Chris glared at the spot where Jack had been a moment ago.

There is one large block of ice there.

And trapped inside was what appeared to be one of Jack’s arms.
