A battle ensued between them. Time passed, and now they have the upper hand.
"This can't go on. Huuuu."
Shoowosh Shiling Cling Cling
Breathing out cold air into his surroundings, the man created a wall separating them.
"What? Out of breath now?
Taunting the guild master, and the others continued their attacks.
"Hmph, I guess you guys are really something. After all You were able to push me this far while covering for those dead weights with you.
The leader of the pure elemental users gave them condescending praise. Along with an insult to their comrades.
"They're not dead weights, they're just new to this kind of battle, that's all."
"Heh. Even more so, they're just trash."
"You."
The guild master got enraged by his insults.
"Enough, I don't have time to chit-chat with you all." Then he cut the guild master off.
"Said the person who is now in the corner."
"True, I have been fighting against you with mostly everything I have. But like I just said, mostly not all."
Feeling a bad, foreboding thought, they asked.
"Your point is?"
"I haven't fought to my utmost limit yet."
He then spoke calmly.
"What do you mean?"
Again, they questioned him. But instead of answering, he activated his ability.
Fooowoosh
.... Out of nowhere, everyone stops moving.
"To think they would force me to use my bloodline ability to this degree as expected when fighting someone with the same rank is tiring, even though I am stronger."
Lamenting his situation, he activated his ice magic spells to attack them.
Shing shing shing puchi shlush crush.
And each of them received dangerous wounds that were close to life threatening.
"That's surprising; the son of the sage seems to know something and was able to protect his vitals. Either way, he won't be able to cast spells for a short time."
He commented to the principal.
"But this guy was the guild master, wasn't he? I can't penetrate his skin, so crushing his innards is the best I can do."
He then looks in annoyance at the guild master.
"It's a good thing I haven't shown my abilities to those kids, including her. Now I only need her so that her little sister won't defy me anymore."
He then grabbed the girl, and as if time had continued, all of them were able to move again.
"Heuck."
"Argh."
"Buhah."
They then each showed a different reaction.
"H-how."
"T-time..manipulation..H-he..sss..ttop..time..ah!"
"You're really dangerous; you knew it just that one time."
He said this as he looked at the principal.
"Y-you… there's.. a limit..right?"
"Now I wonder if there is."
Then it happened: the little girl came out with Dustin with her.
Shing.
"Hmph, she's finally out now, so let's finish where I left off."
~~~~~~~~~~
When we got out, I saw everyone covered in ice.
'What happened? This was not like this when I turned back and looked.'
As I was in shock, the leader of the pure elemental group suddenly said to me:
"Give her to me."
Hearing that I answered after getting out of my shock
"Huh, no way."
Then the little girl yelled.
"Big sis!"
And that is when I noticed her sister was encapsulated in ice. Noticing this, he calls out to the little girl.
"Come here, child."
"Eh… n-no."
But he was denied. And hearing this, he grabbed her sister by the throat.
"Fine then".
And as he was about to squeeze her big sister, the little girl yelled again.
"Noo!"
"What's it going to be, then?"
He then asked her again.
"Uhh."
She looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll do something."
Seeing this, all I could do was comfort her. But at the same time, I also need to find a way out of this situation.
So I steadily took something out of my storage bag.
"What a waste of time!"
But when I was about to get it, the enemy leader ran out of patients and attacked us.
Shing-cling shilling
'Is this guy crazy? I thought she needed her.'
Thinking that there was no way out, I took out my chainsaw sword instead and slammed it into the incoming attack.
"Hah!"
Bam
And then I was blown away by the difference in strength.
"Ugh."
"No! I'll go, so please."
Seeing this, she gave up, as she couldn't do anything about it anymore.
"That's for the best."
"My big sister?"
But before she goes to his side, she asks about her sister, who is still encapsulated in ice.
"You come here, and I'll let her go."
"O-okay."
Hearing his offer, she accepted it and walked towards him with fear in her eyes.
Tap, tap, tap.
Huek!
When she got close enough, he grabbed her by the neck.
"Now then, huuu."
Exhaling, he suddenly used his spells, and a huge blizzard formed around him.
There were also ice shards appearing here and there, but they only lasted for a moment, then they were gone, like all of it was just an illusion.
Fwoosh shing! Kling kling whoosh.
"Haha..ahahahahaha! To think you could do this. Amazing. Just by using you as a medium, I can manipulate my surroundings like they're part of me."
"Haaa. haaa."
The little girl got even paler, and noticing this, he understood that using that amount was too much for her little body.
"I guess even though you can adapt and are able to use more of the orb's power, there is still a limit to how you can use your power."
Showosh kling kling.
He activated his spell again, and this time they were in smaller quantities than before. But even so, the effects are still devastating.
"Huuu."
Seeing that she was able to take it, he was glad.
"Good, this is enough, I guess. Although it will take time, I can destroy the city and set an example for others as well."
As he was basking in his upcoming victory, the girl suddenly asked him.
"U-um l-leader."
"What."
"Big sis."
"Oh her."
Suddenly remembering her big sister, he activated his spells and pierced through her stomach.
Shuek.
"Eh."
Clearly shocked, the little girl was dumbfounded at what happened and was only able to let out a clear sound of confusion.
"I don't need her anymore. Also, you must do as I please, or you will suffer the same fate."
"Ah, ahhh!"
As he gave her a reminder of the consequences of defying her. She cried seeing her sister in that state.
"Quiet down!"
"Uuu, sis, sis!"
"Pak. "
Seeing as she wasn't listening to him, he slapped her across the cheek
"…."
Remember what I said? Defy me, and that's your fate.
After she quieted down, he told her again that she must do whatever he says.
Pop pop
"Huh?"
All of a sudden, he heard a sound. But as he was about to use the little girl's power to know what it was, he was suddenly attacked by a huge wave of water.
whoosh.
"Thanks for waking me up."
After defending himself, he saw her standing there, the big sister of the little girl.
Even with a huge hole in her belly, she stood her ground.
"You! "
The two then exchanged blows from their spells.
Fuush
Kling
Bam
"That should have killed you."
Clearly confused, he asked why she was still alive.
"What can I say? Water is one of my attributes."
When she said that he finally understood. Since blood is liquid, along with her bloodline ability, she would definitely still be alive after that.
"Hmph, let's see if you can use them if they're all frozen."
Woosh
"Hah!"
"How stubborn. Die!"
Clearly seeing her struggle, she used even greater amounts of magic to corner her.
"Big sis!"
"What the–. I told you not to defy me!"
But he wasn't able to since the little girl stopped him from using his spells.
Clearly annoyed, he held the little girl by the neck.
"Oh no. Get your hands off of her!"
"Enough!"
Whoosh
"Haaa."
Seeing he would be at a disadvantage, he activated his ability and vanished from a far distance.
"I knew it. There was a limit to his ability to manipulate time. And right now it is showing after forcibly using it when he just used it on a large scale earlier."
"Oh, so that's why he didn't use it until now."
"If I'm right, that's how it should be."
"Heh, then he won't last long, huh?"
Noticing the clear fatigue, the principal and the guild master found an opportunity to escape the ice that binds them.
"Tch, so it comes to this, huh? Let's end this even if I have to kill myself."
Now that he is out of options, he took out what seems to be a type of berserk potion.
"Voom."
"Huh?"
But out of nowhere, something passed by, and along with it were both the girl and the supposed berserk potion.
And as a bonus, there were two arms that took hold of the girl and the potion.
"Not so fast."
vroom vroom
Bakin bakin crackle
"You bastard!"
"Good one, Bolt!"
