"Which bastards are bullying our Davian?"
A voice as cold as ice.
Tap.
Glacier, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, descended in front of Davian.
Today, she appeared in human form.
A beautiful and mystical woman with blue hair, wearing a sky-blue dress.
The first thing that caught Glacier's eye after confirming Davian's safety was Mons, bleeding profusely in the corner, having lost a leg.
"Mons!"
Crackle!
Sharp ice spikes emerged around the special forces members who had been dueling with Mons.
Thwack!
Stab!
The ice spikes pierced through the special forces members' bodies.
The special forces members, unable to even scream, trembled before slumping down lifelessly.
Glacier looked around and coldly shouted.
"From now on, if anyone lays a hand on Davian's friends, they'll end up just like them."
The special forces, the elite agents of X-7 base, couldn't bring themselves to move easily at Glacier's chilling warning.
Glacier gazed at Nubes.
"It couldn't have been easy to do this to our sturdy Nubes..."
Glacier's deep blue eyes turned to Odin Nassar.
"...Was it you? The one who did this to Mons and Nubes?"
If Davian had been injured when he called for her, Glacier would have been enraged and indiscriminately wiped out the enemies.
But after confirming that Davian was unharmed, she didn't immediately lose her temper.
However.
The fact that someone had harmed Davian's friends, especially the fact that Mons was in such a state, was enough for Glacier to decide to kill every enemy present.
"I asked, was it you?"
Odin Nassar opened his mouth.
"So you're the spirit. The one who contributed the most to building this kingdom, right?"
"I asked if it was you."
"Indeed, a tremendous aura. Is this a high-ranking spirit? If I have the chance, I'd like to have a proper fight."
"You're just talking nonsense. It doesn't matter if you answer or not. Either way, all of you will die by my hand today."
Davian's voice came from behind.
"Glacier. We don't have time for conversations. Kill them all quickly. Especially the one floating in the air. He might do something to you."
"Do something? To me? To Glacier, the ice spirit?"
"Just kill him."
"Alright."
At that moment.
Odin took out a vial from his pocket, emitting an ominous purple light.
It was an object exuding the energy of a magic stone that could only be seen in the demon world.
However, it wasn't a magic stone.
The vial contained a purple liquid.
Although it was a small vial, the energy contained within was extraordinary.
"Farewell, ice spirit."
The vial in Odin's hand was launched into the sky.
This happened before Glacier, who had finished talking to Davian, could even turn her head.
Seeing this, Davian Naone thought.
'That vial. It's dangerous!'
It was clear that the vial was their countermeasure against Glacier.
For this possible moment, Davian took out the last card he had been saving.
'Shadow Shift!'
The advanced skill 'Shadow Shift' was activated.
Davian's movements were doubled in speed.
It was a skill he had refrained from using, even in dangerous situations, so as not to expose his full power to Odin Nassar.
Taaht!
Davian lunged towards the vial.
Odin Nassar's eyebrows twitched at the sight of Davian suddenly flying at an incredible speed.
"This guy! He was hiding his talent!"
Thinking that he intended to detonate the vial in mid-air, Odin Nassar unleashed a powerful energy.
A shockwave cut through the air, heading towards the vial.
However.
Davian, who had started earlier, was slightly ahead.
With a strong rotation of his body in mid-air, Davian's foot caught the vial.
The moment his foot touched the vial, he bent and released his ankle to absorb the impact.
He felt that he shouldn't detonate this vial here.
Davian sent the vial flying far away.
"Latia!"
Latia, instantly recognizing Davian's intention, manifested wind elemental magic.
The vial, sent flying by Davian's kick, rode on Latia's wind elemental magic and flew even further.
The vial disappeared far away, towards the park behind Davian's house.
"You... Davian Naone!"
Odin Nassar shouted and reached out his arm towards Davian.
He hastily twisted his body to avoid Odin's attack.
Crack!
Unlike Odin, Davian couldn't move that quickly while suspended in the air.
Davian's two legs were instantly crushed.
"Davian!"
Davian, clutching at his fading consciousness, sent Mana Acceleration towards Odin Nassar even as he fell to the ground.
Swoosh.
As expected, Odin quickly dodged Mana Acceleration, and extended his arm towards the falling Davian.
At that moment.
Crackle! Snap!
Odin's arm, which was aiming at Davian, froze solid.
Glacier slowly flew towards the surprised Odin.
Odin felt goosebumps all over his body as he met Glacier's deep blue eyes.
Glacier opened her mouth.
"Freeze."
Odin shouted.
"Find the dimensional rift potion! Now!"
"Yes!"
The remaining special forces members rushed towards where the vial had flown.
No.
They were about to.
Crackle! Thwack! Thud!
Stab!
Dozens of ice spikes pierced the bodies of all the special forces members who were about to rush forward.
"Kuheok!"
"Keok!"
Glacier's cold voice echoed across the rooftop.
"I said freeze."
Everything happened in an instant.
None of the special forces members who could hear Glacier's cold voice remained.
Only the corpses pierced by dozens of spikes lay limply.
Glacier slowly turned her head.
"You. You said you wanted to have a proper fight with me when you got the chance."
Clang!
Odin Nassar managed to shatter the ice shards that were holding his arm.
"Well, now's your chance. Do everything you can, human."
Odin Nassar gritted his teeth.
"Fine. I'll give you what you want."
As Odin swung his arms wide.
Wooong.
Odin's energy resonated with the mana of nature.
Kugugugu.
A powerful shockwave extended towards Glacier.
Only Davian, who was lying on the floor, could fully follow Odin's movements with his eyes.
And only Latia could barely read the flow of mana.
It was that fast and powerful of an attack.
"Glacier!"
"Lady Glacier!"
Crackle.
An ice pillar formed at the center of the powerful shockwave.
The ice pillar, which rapidly increased in size.
Kwaang!
Completely shattered the shockwave from the inside out.
"Is that all? You said you were going to have a proper fight with me?"
Thwack.
"Keuak!"
A large ice spike pierced Odin Nassar's right calf.
"This is for Mons."
No matter how fast Odin Nassar was.
He couldn't avoid the ice spike that suddenly appeared in the air and pierced his flesh.
"Kueuk."
Odin Nassar, gritting his teeth, used telekinesis to pull Glacier towards him.
Glacier's body was dragged towards Odin as if sliding.
Just as he was about to raise his other arm to shatter Glacier's head.
Crackle.
His arm froze solid and wouldn't move.
Glacier, who had come right in front of Odin, slapped him across the face.
Slap!
The cheek that was hit turned blue in the shape of a hand.
"This is for daring to grab my body."
Crackle.
Glacier also froze Odin's remaining arm.
While Odin, with both arms bound, was unable to do anything.
Clang!
The ice that had frozen both arms shattered rapidly.
Taking Odin's arms with it.
"Kuaaa!"
"This is for crushing our cute Nubes's arms."
Grasp.
Glacier grabbed Odin's neck.
"And this..."
An excruciatingly cold chill flowed into Odin's body through Glacier's hand.
His whole body trembled, and his teeth chattered involuntarily.
"This is for daring to lay a hand on my friend Davian."
Thwack.
Odin Nassar's neck, completely frozen, was crushed by the strength of Glacier's hand.
Glacier released Odin's neck and dusted off her hands.
The body of Odin Nassar, the branch manager of the base in charge of Elton City and Elton Academy, fell lifelessly to the ground.
Clang!
Odin's body, frozen to the bone, shattered like glass as soon as it touched the ground.
Glacier slowly came down.
"Davian, are you alright?"
"Yeah. Thanks, Glacier."
"Don't mention it. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but I feel like I owe you one today."
"Ah, that's right."
Davian, who was squatting on the ground, turned his head.
"Sara! Take the able-bodied ones and go find that vial in the park over there."
"Huh? Oh! Alright! Let's go, Latia! Karin!"
"Yes, unni."
While the three of them were running back into the house.
Luna was crying and casting healing magic on Nubes's arm.
"I'm sorry, Nubes... I need to heal you quickly. This happened because of us... The healing isn't easy..."
Nubes grinned.
"It's alright. It's enough that I didn't die."
Mons hopped over to Davian with one leg.
"Are you alright, young master?"
"Yeah, I'm alright."
Davian looked at Mons's completely torn-off leg.
"I'll have you treated at the academy too. Teacher Medium should be able to fix it quickly."
"No, it's alright."
"Then you're going to hop around on one leg for the rest of your life?"
"..."
"Don't bother being polite and just do as you're told."
"Yes, young master. Thank you. But what about your legs, young master...? Huh?"
Mons had clearly seen it.
The scene of the young master's two legs being crushed at once.
It was such a shocking scene that he resented his remaining leg.
But.
He could see firm legs beneath the school uniform pants that should have been dangling limply.
"Are your legs alright?"
"Not yet. I need a little more time."
"Time?"
"Yeah. I just happen to heal fast."
Luna, who had been crying and healing Nubes's arms, turned to Mons with swollen eyes.
"After I finish healing Nubes, I'll heal you too, Mr. Mons."
"Lady Luna, I told you I'm not Mr."
Whether or not she heard Mons's reply.
Luna turned her head back and concentrated on healing Nubes.
Not only Luna, but also Davian's other friends had not been speaking informally to Mons for some time.
Most of them were clearly children of nobles, and Mons was just Davian's attendant without a surname, so it would be right to speak informally to him.
But after spending a lot of time together and seeing Mons's speech and character, the treatment as an elder came out before the treatment as a commoner.
Glacier patted Davian's shoulder.
"You were dealing with an incredible guy, Davian. Why didn't you call me sooner?"
"I needed a dramatic situation to make him more careless."
"Dramatic situation? Why? Ah... Because of that vial earlier?"
Davian nodded.
"I heard before that you have a plan even if you call Glacier. So I thought that the Marino Empire guys must have something."
"Is that what that vial is? What the hell is in that vial?"
"I still don't know. I'll have to investigate when the kids find it."
"It was definitely a potion with a very ominous energy coming out of it."
At that moment.
He felt someone flying in at an incredible speed.
A speed beyond imagination.
Thump.
An old man who roughly stepped onto the rooftop shouted.
