Freezee~
A chill burst out from beneath his boots, spreading like a curse.
The polished marble cracked, long veins of silver-blue ice crawling outward in sharp, jagged patterns.
Within seconds, the floor became a frozen battlefield, light reflecting off it like shattered mirrors.
He raised one hand lazily, and with a flick of his fingers...
FWOOSH.
Light bent.
A thin blade of silver energy burst from his palm, and it instantly ripped forward, too fast to dodge or block.
CLANG!
The sound was unnatural, like a bell being struck underwater.
But the blade hadn't hit Kagetaro.
Two shadows had stepped in, just in time, seamless, like puppets reacting to a hidden string.
THOOM—!!
The impact slammed into them like divine punishment, sending cracks spiraling across the walls and floor.
The air howled as dust and pressure surged outward.
For a moment, the world held its breath.
And then, slowly, the smoke cleared.
Two tall figures stood at the epicenter.
Unharmed.
