What kind of monster is this guy?!
The strength of this body, the control over low temperatures, and that defense that ignores spatial cuts...
This is definitely not an ordinary human, nor is it a level that any opponent she knows of could achieve!
Just as her mind was reeling, Kevin's ice-blue eyes cast a detached glance at the frozen Flame Lance in his hand, seemingly finding it bothersome.
Then, he squeezed his fingers gently.
"Crack... Bang!"
The Flame Lance, made incredibly fragile by the absolute low temperature, along with the frozen flames inside, shattered easily like brittle ice crystals, turning into a cloud of fine ice-fire powder that fell rustling from between his fingers.
In the distance, Stelle, who had just climbed up from the ground and was breathing a sigh of relief because Kevin had blocked most of the rain of spears for her, happened to witness this final scene.
Stelle: "..."
Her mouth hung open, her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The next second, a shout erupted:
"Ah——!!! My Flame Lance!!!"
Kevin slowly raised his head, his ice-blue eyes piercing through the thin ice dust to lock onto the slightly disheveled Sirin in mid-air.
There was no killing intent in that gaze, no anger, not even a ripple—only a coldness that was pure to the extreme.
Yet, it was precisely this inhuman calmness that made Sirin feel a chill uncontrollably surge from the depths of her heart, instantly spreading throughout her entire body.
That was not a physiological reaction to low temperature, but an instinctive trembling of the soul when facing a natural predator, when facing an absolute disparity in power.
She realized with sudden clarity: probing, intimidation, small tricks... all were meaningless before this White-haired Man.
If she held anything back, the next strike would truly kill her!
"Disappear... for me!"
The intense sense of crisis transformed into the most violent will to counterattack.
Sirin threw her arms open wide, her golden cross-shaped pupils glowing brilliantly!
She no longer calculated, but poured out her power like a tsunami!
"Hum-hum-hum-hum——!!!"
Dozens, hundreds of Imaginary space holes of varying sizes tore through space and appeared before her, behind her, above, below, left, and right!
Like purple eyes possessing life, they turned in unison, focusing all their gazes on Kevin at the bottom of the crater below!
This strike almost drained the spatial stability of a large area around her, aiming to completely annihilate Kevin along with the space in that area itself!
However, the very instant all the holes were about to launch their attack simultaneously—Kevin vanished.
It was not an afterimage from high-speed movement.
He just disappeared from Sirin's vision and perception without any warning, as if he had never existed at all.
"What?!"
Sirin's heart felt empty, and an intense warning of crisis exploded in her consciousness!
Relying almost entirely on instinct, without even time to think, she violently whipped her head to the upper right, while frantically mobilizing her power, attempting to open a defensive hole diagonally above to the right—
It was too late.
A metal baseball bat covered in crystalline frost, as if reaching out directly from frozen time and space, had already appeared less than half a meter to the right of her head.
The extreme cold radiating from the bat, even before contact, had already instantly frozen the edges of the Imaginary space hole she had hurriedly opened!
"Crack!"
With a crisp sound, the not-yet-fully-formed hole turned into ice crystals and shattered.
And that baseball bat, bearing the pure power to seemingly crush mountains, continued to enlarge in her vision under Sirin's horrified gaze as she whipped her head around, her pupils contracting sharply—
"Bang!!!"
A dull, heart-stopping impact sound rang out.
There was no flashy energy explosion, no screeching of tearing space.
There was only the most primitive transfer of kinetic energy.
The baseball bat slammed solidly into the connection between Sirin's right shoulder, neck, and upper arm.
