In the sky, the flames dissipated, and Lavinia slowly descended. Her once pristine mage robe now bore many scorch marks, and Lavinia’s face turned pale, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Obviously, blocking Tenraku’s shockwave earlier had also caused her some injury.
“Worthy of the Red Dragon Emperor, to become this terrifying with just a bit more seriousness,” Lavinia couldn’t help but chuckle slightly, panting.
“Lavinia San is also quite surprising, blocking my attack with just magic,” Tenraku said with a hint of admiration in his tone.
Nodding, a glint of determination flashed in Lavinia’s eyes. Although she knew she couldn’t match the Red Dragon Emperor, she wouldn’t easily accept defeat!
Without hesitation, Lavinia activated her Sacred Gear’s ability—
Hoo, Hoo, Hoo!
Under Tenraku’s and the distant Rias’ girls’ gaze, a vast cold air erupted from Lavinia’s body. This cold air constantly changed and condensed into a nearly three-meter-tall figure.
It was a giant construct entirely made of ice, dressed in a gown and adorned with a splendid crown. It looked like a noble and beautiful princess, precisely the Longinus— Eternal Ice Princess – Absolute Demise that Lavinia possessed!
This Sacred Gear should be somewhat similar to the Battle Axe of the Lion King – Regulus Nemea, belonging to the type of Sacred Gear that can manifest independently. Its attack mainly revolves around cold air and freezing.
Although its ability is relatively simple, one should not underestimate its power. It is said that as long as the host is powerful enough to unleash its ability to the fullest, freezing an entire country into ruin is as easy as pie!
“Princess, please help me defeat the Red Dragon Emperor together,” Lavinia said with a serious expression.
Nodding slightly, the beautiful ice princess locked onto Tenraku, then soared into the air, trailing a vast cold air behind her, attacking Tenraku. Everywhere the cold air spread, the ground froze into smooth ice.
“Come at me!” Watching the ice princess approaching, Tenraku was not surprised but delighted. With a step, he shot up like a cannonball.
Boom!
Tenraku swung a fist and a large amount of cold air burst in the air. The giant body of the ice princess was directly shattered by Tenraku, but the cold air in the air gathered, and the princess’s body returned to its original state in the blink of an eye.
However, looking at his right arm, which was frozen and extremely painful, Tenraku couldn’t help but shiver.
So cold!
It seemed that engaging in close combat with the ice princess was a mistake. She could immunize herself against physical attacks. Even if her body was shattered, she could quickly recover, but Tenraku would be affected by her cold air. One misstep and he might end up in trouble.
Activating his Spirit Qi, Tenraku shattered the ice on his arm, then spread his Dragon Wings behind him, quickly putting some distance between him and the ice princess.
However, while Tenraku battled the ice princess, Lavinia also took action again, unleashing hundreds of magics to attack Tenraku continuously.
Unlike the previous minor skirmishes, this time, the power of Lavinia’s magic had directly increased by a level. Even with Grendel’s strongest scales, Tenraku felt a hint of threat.
It seemed that this Magic Miss was really starting to take things seriously. Tenraku didn’t dare to let the opponent’s attacks bombard him like before. He flapped his huge Dragon Wings in the air, continuously dodging.
Thunder and lightning, fireballs, hurricane ice spears—Lavinia and the ice princess coordinated perfectly, attacking Tenraku from both sides, leaving him no chance to catch his breath.
Watching Lavinia and the ice princess gradually suppress Tenraku, Rias, and the girls who were spectating couldn’t help but show a hint of amazement. Being both a Magic user and a Sacred Gear user, and excelling in both, Lavinia San was indeed extraordinary. It’s no wonder she received such high regard from Mephisto-sama.
However, the girls weren’t worried at all. With Tenraku’s strength, if he really wanted to end this battle, he could do it anytime. At the moment, he was probably enjoying himself.
Sure enough, Tenraku in the air soon began to counterattack—
Lai Lai Lai Lai Lai!
Launching both palms forward, Tenraku continuously unleashed powerful shockwaves, crimson light waves tearing through the sky as if to rip it apart.
Having taken a hit from the opponent earlier, Lavinia was well aware of the terrifying power of those shockwaves. She dared not confront them head-on and could only use jumping magic to continuously evade and shift in the air.
Lavinia managed to evade all the shockwave attacks, but the ice princess wasn’t as fortunate. Her massive body was directly shattered by several shockwaves.
Although it looked terrifying, the princess could immunize herself against physical attacks. Even powerful shockwaves couldn’t cause any substantial harm to her. The ice princess, shrouded in a vast mist of cold, lunged toward Tenraku, seemingly attempting to engulf and freeze him.
Naturally, Tenraku wouldn’t let her succeed. With a powerful flap of his Dragon Wings, a violent airstream instantly blew away the approaching cold mist.
However, the ice princess didn’t seem to intend to give up just yet. Suddenly, a crisp chirping sound rang out, followed by hundreds of ice birds flying out from the cold mist!
Chirping and fluttering, these ice birds spread across the sky above the training ground, gliding and swooping down towards Tenraku.
Although they seemed like mere tricks, Tenraku’s intuition told him it would be best not to let these ice birds hit him. Shifting and moving, he dodged, causing a group of birds flying ahead to miss him and crash into the ground of the training ground.
As it turned out, Tenraku’s intuition was spot on. Those birds that crashed into the ground triggered a series of ice explosions, bursting into countless sharp ice spikes wherever they hit.
Though beautiful, it was also chillingly eerie!
Just as Tenraku resolved not to be struck by those dangerous ice birds, a magic formation suddenly unfolded in the air, and several chains flew out, tightly binding him.
It was Lavinia!
This Magic Miss sure knew how to seize an opportunity, but such a level of restraint couldn’t hold him. With a forceful movement of his limbs, Tenraku instantly shattered all the chains.
However, it seemed that the opponent’s intention was never to just restrain him.
Seizing the moment when Tenraku was bound, all the ice birds in the air flew towards him in a frenzy!
With no way to escape, Tenraku couldn’t help but stiffen—
“Oh no…”
