Shiro directly countered ice with ice, which surprised his opponent, but she still didn't believe it and launched the Ice Cavalry attack. Countless cavalry appeared, riding horses and holding spears, charging straight toward Shirou.
Shiro didn't show a hint of fear in front of that formation. Instead, he swung his hand, and countless cavalry appeared, launching the exact same charge.
Ice Cavalry versus Ice Cavalry (Shiro version)
When the two versions of the Ice Cavalry collided, something surprising happened: Shiro's instantly shattered Esdeath's, or rather, hers was like paper, completely unable to withstand the impact and was directly broken.
Esdeath was incredibly shocked by the sight and could only roll to avoid the strike.
After all, if she hadn't reacted, she would have been directly crushed. And the opponent loved fighting, but she wasn't an idiot. If she had seen such an attack and still decided to do nothing and take it, then she truly would have been an idiot.
Shiro watched her roll awkwardly and did not continue the attack. Instead, he stopped and watched her, who at that moment, in a crawling position, raised her head and stared at him. She was like a cheetah.
Esdeath's face now shone with excitement. She hadn't expected that this man, whom she had killed ten times, would become so strong.
It was simply unbelievable.
Esdeath thought about it, but her movements were not slow at all. At the same time, a thin ice wall, like a blade, shot up from the ground in front of her.
Although thin, its sharpness was in no way inferior to weapons and swords that had been honed for a long time.
The key was that this was a sudden attack, rising from the ground, and ordinary people wouldn't have time to react.
However, this time it was different; she ran into someone who was not ordinary at all.
"Crack!"
The ice wall, like a blade, immediately shattered the moment it rose from the ground. When Esdeath tried to control it again, she found that she couldn't.
Then, from Shiro's perspective, countless ice flowers instantly sprouted from the ground, and the petals of these sparkling flowers were incredibly sharp. In short, the flowers were beautiful, but of the kind with thorns that could kill.
"Thank you for training with me for ten rounds. These flowers are for you."
Shiro spoke casually at that moment, completely confident in victory. It could be said: earlier I was cautious, now I strike without restraint.
Esdeath dodged the ice flowers and adjusted her cap.
Due to the high speed, her clothes were scratched in several places, and faint blood stains could be seen in those marks.
It was clear she had been cut.
"These flowers are quite beautiful, but if they were stained with your blood, I would probably love them even more."
Esdeath ignored her wounds and responded. Although she was cut, she reacted quickly enough, so the problem wasn't serious; at worst, they were only superficial wounds.
After saying that, an ice wave formed beneath Esdeath's feet, like surfing, allowing her to directly rush toward Shiro's position sliding on ice. She drew her military saber, intending to enter a close-quarters fight.
Shiro also did not retreat. He condensed a long ice sword and clashed with her.
In just two moves, the military saber in her hand was deflected by Shiro.
Although Esdeath was extremely surprised, she immediately activated her ultimate move.
Mahapadma!
After activation, Esdeath immediately adjusted her cap. A smile appeared on her face. She knew that if the other side went all out, she could not win, but in such an equal-level situation, she had this ultimate move in her hand.
"Shiro-kun, I really want to know how you plan to defeat me?"
Please Call Me Savior: "I'm also curious how that guy is going to win?"
Raiden Shogun: "In the same situation, if you can't break through this move, then you can't win. Of course, you could make a killing aura clone like in anime, but I doubt Esdeath has not already handled such situations."
Accelerator: "Just watch, I have a feeling things aren't that simple."
Black Rabbit: "Yes, Shiro-kun doesn't seem like the type to throw around empty words. He most likely has a way to resolve this."
Ninja World Big Fat Sheep: "I'm very curious how this guy plans to solve this problem?"
Everyone watched, and Esdeath's hand condensed an ice spear, intending to, as usual, cut off Shiro's limbs. Just then, Shiro, who was supposed to be completely immobilized, tilted his head and looked at her with a playful expression.
"You're not seriously telling me that you still think that move works on me?"
Shiro spoke, astonishing everyone present. After all, the scene clearly showed that the space was frozen, yet he could still speak. What the hell was going on?
Please Call Me Savior: "Damn it! What did that guy do? Did he cheat?"
Black Rabbit: "He suddenly spoke and scared Black Rabbit. Shiro-kun is truly a great villain."
Yukino Meow: "He did that on purpose, just to annoy them."
World Diva: "How devious! Obviously he wasn't frozen, but deliberately acted like it. Shiro-kun is a true villain."
Accelerator: "I knew it. Although I don't know this person, my intuition tells me that in this situation, he's not the type to make empty promises."
Raiden Shogun: "Even this humble one was surprised. I have to admit, his acting just now was really perfect. Or maybe he only just freed himself?"
Rimuru: "I doubt that. Judging by his expression, it's clear that it was intentional, it doesn't look like he only just freed himself."
Everyone knew that Shiro did it on purpose, consciously giving the opponent surprise or shock. They had to admit, he was pretty good at such games.
Seeing that Shiro was not frozen at all, Esdeath stopped moving. Instead, she let the ice sword in her hand melt. After all, she could not defeat him in close combat, her ice abilities were completely suppressed, and her ultimate move was useless against him. So she simply gave up.
And at that moment, her ultimate move was also nullified.
Esdeath didn't care that the surroundings returned to their normal colors. Instead, she spoke in a curious tone.
"I would like to know how you freed yourself. Or have you already found a way to break my move?"
Shiro did not respond directly. Instead, he snapped his fingers and the sky returned to its previous state. He was restrained, but his thoughts could still function.
Then, in the next moment, even her thoughts were restrained, as if time around her had stopped, and her eyes stopped moving.
Please Call Me Savior: "Damn it! Don't tell me you even learned this move."
Accelerator: "No, something here is seriously wrong. This person didn't learn it. This person learned something else, something fundamentally different from Esdeath."
Majestic Angel Queen: "Exactly, there is a fundamental difference between the two of them."
Majestic Angel Queen: "Although I can't explain it, just by looking at Esdeath's expression, it can be seen that she is completely restrained, unlike him, who was restrained, but his thoughts and consciousness were still active; he could think and observe the opponent's moves."
Yukino Meow: "So what's the situation now? I'm a little confused."
Black Rabbit: "Black Rabbit is also confused, but has a feeling that Shiro-kun really froze Miss Esdeath's time."
Raiden Shogun: "Is this true time freezing?"
Rimuru: "It's unclear. We'll ask them when they come out."
Shiro, smiling, approached Esdeath, and then a marker appeared in his hand and he began drawing on her face. The women who saw this scene all covered their faces, feeling that this person really had a bad sense of humor.
At the same time, they thought that in the future, they would have to be careful with this guy.
