3 weeks passed by.
The situation in Charlotte city hasn't changed a bit. The whole city is still wrapped up in an apocaliptic storm.
By now the city looks completely different. The buildings are covered in snow and ice. The roads are not visible anymore, neither are any vehicles.
Most people in the city have died. Only people who had enough food and water to survive for 3 weeks are alive. No one can go outside because of the cold and the raining hail.
The government is trying to help the civilians and investigate this bizarre storm, but they can't get too close.
Multiple powerful organizations are attracted to this event, as it is a unique one. Even the Deas are curious.
Only higher ranked Deas can move around the city. But the closer you get to the source, the more powerful the Dea has to be. Right now there is only one Dea in the world, who can make it to the source. The faction leader of the reds, considered to be the most powerful Dea in the world, Zeladrea Eris.
....
Zeladrea PoV
3 weeks ago I got a report that something crazy was happening in Charlotte.
Wihout even hearing the report, I already guessed that it had something to do with that overpowered brat. Whenever something crazy goes down, it's best to suspect her and her insane organisation.
As soon as I got the report on what happened, my suspicion turned into belief. The city of Charlotte has frozen. Not like a normal winter freeze, an apocaliptic freeze, where temperatures go below -100° C.
Obviously my mind worked like this: Chatlotte has frozen + that kid uses ice = that kid froze Charlotte.
"Hmm..." I think back to the time I got the report, as I gaze at the hellish city.
It's not like a standard type of hell. It's a frozen hell, with everything dead. I can see why people call it the Charlotte apocalipse. This is exactly how I would imagine the apocalipse, if it was caused by low temperatures.
"Boss you really want to go in there?" My trusty vice commander asks.
I come out of my thoughts and create a barrier of fire around me. I enter the city, instead of answering her. I easily move around the city. All the hail melts and evaporates before it can touch me. All the snow in my way melts and turns to mist.
I draw nearer to the source of the cold. As I come nearer, it gets harder to resist the ice. Still, not much of a problem for me.
Soon I reach the centre of the cyclone. Ironically the winds have completely stopped here. It's so quiet here that you'd think you're in space.
Everything is still. It's surreal. It looks like even the air is frozen.
"Ghhh." I use my fire on full power, just to resist the cold. I slowly move closer to the giant cocoon in front of me.
The cold gets more and more severe, as I draw nearer. This is ridiculous. Has that brat really gotten this strong.
This is completely ridiculous! I feel like a joke being called the strongest Dea. Then again no one really knows the brat...
I quickly cast out the stupid thoughts out of my head and focus on resisting the cold.
*CRACK*
"Eh?" I involuntarily exclaim. That crack sounded like a mountain splitting apart. It did not sound like a 3 story tall egg cracking.
*CRACK* *CRACK*
Again these obscenely loud, echoing cracks. I would not admit this to anyone, but I am really scared right now.
The cold seems to be getting even stronger and my senses are screaming at me to run. I decide to listen to my danger sense and I run like hell.
I run multiple kilometers away from the egg and make it on top of a dilapated high rise. Then focus my gaze on the cracking egg.
The egg seems to pulse with bright, blue light and it's radiating freezing temperatures with each pulse. It's like it's dishing out cold from inside of it.
The cracks continue to appear on the cocoon and within a minute, they cover every inch of the egg.
*CRASH* Then the egg shatters into an uncountable number of little ice crystals. From inside a woman is visible. The woman has long, blue hair, just like the glacial ice all around her. Her skin seems to be completely pale white, like the snow. She is floating slightly above the ground, in her nude form.
The picture is incredibly beautiful. I can't help but admire it a bit longer. When I am finally done admiring the scene from a far, I decide to get closer.
As soon as the cocoon broke, it stopped radiating cold. The hail stopped and the light blue hue disappeared. Well it didn't disappear completely. The woman in the centre still has that light blue hue all around her.
I quickly draw closer to her, but stop a hundred meters away. At this distance I can see the woman clearly. It's without a doubt Artoria, but she looks different.
Her hair looks like it's composed of ice and it has grown to her feet. Her eyes are closed right now, so I can't see her eyes, but her skin has turned from caramel coloured, to completely snow white. It's unnatural in how white her skin is.
There is also a big blue tattoo, that covers her left arm wholly and reaches up to her neck and left side chest.
I have no clue what is going on. My senses tell me that if I draw closer to the woman, I will die. So I just dumbly stand and stare at Artoria floating around in the nude.
Even though I'm not a degenrate and I'm only interested in men, when it comes to sexual relations. I cannot help but admire the sheer level of sensuality, her body radiates. Everything about her body is as sexy and as perfect as it can be.
I get a bit peeved as I stare at her chest. That thing is atleast double my size. What like H cup? Fuck it. I'll go crazy if I start comparing myself to her.
(Zeladrea PoV end.)
While Zeladrea was staring at Artoria and thinking. When the government and the multiple organisations outside discovered that the rain had stopped, the winds had calmed and it was not radiating the extreme cold anymore, they decided to move in.
All of them wanted to acertain the cause of this freak phenomenon. They rushed in, in order to be the first to make it to the scene.
"Quickly now!" Some guy yells.
They rapidly navigate the devestated cityscape and soon reach the centre of the catastrophe.
They see 2 women standing on a clearing, that used to be a park. One is in the nude and levetating in the air. The other one is staring at the nude one without blinking. The one staring is obviously Zeladrea, as her red hair is hard to miss.
Like seasoned stalkers, most people stop before getting too close to the women.
"Quickly identify the naked woman." A man commands his subordinate. Everyone has the same question, who is that woman.
They soon come to the same answer.
"That woman seems to be Artoria Lucifer." The man shows his superiour the profile. The profile has everything they know about Artoria and her picture, looking ticked off.
"She's obviously a Dea. Why don't we have information on this???" The man points at Artoria and exclaims angrily.
"Sir we didn't know." Comes a response.
Meanwhile Zeladrea finally manages to come out of her thoughts. When she hears a commotion behind her, she looks back and sees the crowd.
"Looks like you are getting pulled in the limelight as well." She smirks and says. Her smile seems to contain a lot of smugness. Seems she has been jealous of Artorias peace.
As if Artoria heard her, she finally opens her eyes and stops floating. Artoria's eyes don't seem to be normal, as her golden eyes glow like the ones of a werewolf.
A thick murderous aura starts coming off of Artoria, which Zela picks up immediately, as a seasoned warrior.
"Oh dear. What pissed you off?" Zeladrea sarcastically comments and summones her spear.
The people behind her are suprised. Zeladrea is only know to summon her spear when she gets serious. She has done so only once, when she fought some sort of unknown monster. If she summoned her spear now, just how scary is that naked woman?
Artoria seems to not be in her right mind, as she dazedly gazes at Zeladrea. Finally she moves and makes a blue dress made of ice.
"AAAAAAHHHHHH." Artoria releases a shrill, demonlike scream and with it a pulse of ice. Zeladrea defends herself and the ones behind her with her flames, but finds it difficult to do so.
"You diseased kid, you really have become more powerful." Zela clenches her teeth with anger. The last time Zela and Artoria fought, Artoria was only slightly more powerful than her. And the time before that, they were equal.
She flash steps in front of Artoria and attempts to stab her in the heart with her spear. Her spear doesn't manage to pierce her newly created ice dress though and Artoria instead goes flying to from the strike.
"It seems each time I will exchange blows with you, I will only feel worse about my weakness. Well then, let's start this humiliating fight." Zeladrea calmly walks towards Artoria, while smiling bitterly.
