Chapter 363 - The Ice Master's Death
The situation took an unexpected turn, but it would be a battle in the end.
The Ice Master's eyes grew colder and killing intent flooded those, making him look like a beast whose treasure had been stolen. In a sense, it was true as Yesfir wanted to hug the husband instead of him!
Blasphemy wouldn't be sufficient to describe the husband's aura!
This man just popped out and charmed the beauty that three hundred years of hard work with presents and care couldn't charm. He had been trying and felt even deeper and all of this ended up getting snatched by someone who wasn't particularly interested in her!
So much for his work!
The ice Master seethed. His cold concepts erupted out of his body, "I will kill him!" With so many concepts within him, it was inevitable for him to turn into something humanoid yet far from the human's body.
An ice scratched out the last bits of humanity. It began with the ice snakes springing up from his back, then his arms turning ice crystals. His limbs became thicker as if this additional muscle layer appeared on his limbs.
The Ice Armor wrapped his torso, looking tough and sturdy.
"If you disappear, I will get the last piece of inheritance and reset everything," The Ice Master's breath was also like an ice poison. In his all-out mode, The Ice Master used so many concepts at once that Kyoya could only raise his knife and prepare for the confrontation.
Even now, the husband's eyes could spot new ice concepts emerging out of The Ice Master's body. The armor turned alive and became like a bear's jaw... The man continued to spit out concepts in an infinite manner.
The husband quickly turned his eyes to Akaro and Xiaoxiao, "Can you just protect me from his coldness? I know a way to defeat him quickly."
"Yes!" Xiaoxiao instantly nodded and Akaro followed belatedly. Both of them wrapped their flames around the husband's body, then he hurtled himself at the Ice Master who gladly spread his arms to this move.
His armor opened its jaw and closed it a few times, bringing out crackling sounds as it sent its invitation as well.
Kyoya smiled, "I feel like three hundred years is enough time. Don't you think she became fed up with you after all those years?" He attacked the Ice Master's mind first. The husband's concepts such as Joker's Laughter began to flow out of his lips.
Naturally, the Ice Master had no proper defense to that. Even if he had, he wouldn't be able to use it with how much turmoil his heart had been going through. When it came to women, many men lost themselves.
After three hundred years of one-sided love, the Ice Master was hurt even more.
The worst was that the husband did it unknowingly and he didn't seem to care much.
In the husband's defense, he already had two gorgeous beauties and one of them was with him right now. He also felt her embrace through the flame supporting him, so Yesfir was like an oddball whose future was truly unknown.
"Love is for an eternity once you fall too deep!" The Ice Master shouted, trying to reach out Yesfir while confronting the husband. However, Kyoya's laughter overshadowed his words as Yesfir kept her eyes on him.
Inwardly, she was not sure what her future was. She had been following the Ice Master because she had no one else, but if the husband rejected her or refused to take along, then what would her future be?
Thus, her powers just restrained the rest and didn't disturb these two.
At the same time, The Husband and The Ice Master clashed for the first time.
The husband's knife landed within the armor's jaw, his arm bitten by its cold teeth. An immense coldness, so lethal like a poison, spread across his whole arm in a second. Following it, Akaros' flames did their best to nullify the effects.
Kyoya didn't bat an eyelid and just used one of the rare concepts, "Irregular Concept."
"Hah?" The Ice Master's eyes widened in disbelief.
He felt his armor turning into something different. From the ferocious bear that would tear down everything with its jaw, the armor became bunny. A cute bunny you would see on kids' clothes!
"If there is someone who is liable to this concept... It is you..." The husband didn't need any prerequisites to inflict this concept. He just used it on the Ice Master whose body held so many concepts he couldn't possibly protect them all.
Of course, he still could use them, but that was his weakness.
The Irregular Concept he got from the Irregular Beast finally arrived on other floors! The husband yanked his freedom, then shoving his knife into the thin 'bunny' armor, he inflicted much more irregular concepts one by one.
The dangerous concepts one by one turned into feeble and amiable concepts. The ice around the master turned into a playground with fluffy animals going around with their big eyes looking at him.
If the husband's daughter was here, she would probably enjoy and laugh at all those animals with her father.
Only with the father as the Ice Master was nearly vomiting from shame and disbelief. His incredulous eyes closed, then his whole energy shifted to one arm. From this arm, the ice emperor's jaw hurtled itself.
It was Ice Lion's head whose ice was majestic and grand. It was not on the divine level, but such a beast had some prestige in its concept and lineage.
Even the husband's Irregular Concept turned it into another grand beast, so Kyoya could only let out a few more flame cards that exploded around the creature, "It won't be easy, but it's certainly doable... Akaro, have you blocked the third tower?"
"Already did it... He won't be able to run away," Though both flame sisters continued to support the husband, Akaro was the goddess who could use her flames for another job while keeping the main one ongoing.
The flame wall sealed the entrance to the third tower, so the Ice Master was left alone in the middle of the tower. His strong concept allowed him to push forward and The Ice Divine's comprehended energies also became the husband's enemy.
But he, who had the ice resistance, smirked with the husband's smile.
Thus, both of them entered the stalemate with the husband on the better side. He parred the ice with his knife and did far better than The Ice Master whose headache kept increasing due to the Irregular Concept.
"You aren't going to help me?" As the blood oozed out of his body, he glanced at Yesfir who stood uncertain. For the first time he could see her display some kind of expression from the usual expressionless mask.
But if one probed deeper, one would find out that she was uncertain about the future without the Ice Master and the husband. Would she be able to survive alone and find purpose in her life?
The Ice Master read that from her eyes, "Then no one will have you. You were born for me!" He unleashed his whole strength at Yesfir while carrying that selfish ideology. The snowstorm of ice beasts and fluffy animals swept through the floor.
Only the former could hurt her, so Yesfir located all lethal weapons within that storm, then stretched her arms out. She drew out the ice pillars from the ground, then formed an ice cage that trapped the Ice Master within!
He scoffed at it and went all out with his powers.
The husband didn't stay idle, though, "Use all your flames on him! If he willingly allowed himself to get trapped, we have to use it," The husband said, then threw his sharp blue knife! A few powerful cards tore the air next to the main weapon.
Both Xiaoxiao and Akaro summoned The Eternal Call Ability and conjured meteor out of its power. This meteor poured its whole might and its form onto the ice cage!
"Even now, you feel nothing?" The Ice Master asked, his body half-way charred.
Yesfir replied, "I feel nothing." It meant that they just weren't destined for each other despite what had happened between them.
The Ice Beauty just said, "Thanks..." And left the Ice Master alone in his ice cage. Trapped for an eternity, he waited for the flames and knife to end his life... As his head rolled on the ground, it soon dispersed into a thousand ashes.
As The Ice Master, he imagined his death to look differently and surely with someone by his side... All he had imagined turned opposite and he died without anyone looking after him!
Yesfir turned her attention to the husband, her face back to the emotionless mask.
"I do have an idea what to do with her," Akaro's voice rang out, "Take her to the blue knife... She is... I can't see through her yet, but she should be able to adapt to the blue knife."
"Even if you don't know what she is... Don't treat her like a toy or weapon, Akaro," The husband rebuked the goddess, then shifted his eyes to the Ice Beauty, "You heard her, right? Do you want to?"
"I am willing. This is a beautiful and... unique weapon that should accept me." Yesfir eyed the blue knife, then took a first step forward.
