The villainess shall be mine

Chapter 16 The Frost Queen



:::[Third person POV]:::

While Adam was still unconscious, a fifteen meters minotaur was sprinting toward Marcel, Julius, and Gracia who was still healing Marie.

If it wasn't stopped immediately, then the whole edifice would be destroyed and the casualties would be unfathomable.

Boom! boom!

The heavy footsteps of the minotaur shook the ground and trampled everything in his way whether it was the despicable monsters or the soldiers who were fighting them.

"Move aside!" A soldier shouted and moved away from the minotaur's path to save his life, but those who were unfortunate got crushed and turned into something grotesque.

However, there were still people who tried to stand against the enraged beast.

One of them was Sylvestre. He gripped the handle of his sword tightly with both hands and put strength in his leg and using his lighting elemental power to kick the ground, leaped forward.

Swoosh!

He had a slight look of fear on his face, but he swallowed. It was for him to feel that way because even if he was a veteran soldier, he never faced a fifteen meters tall minotaur.

Sylvestre gathered lighting around his body and when he was surrounded by a glittering kinetic lighting field, he used his sword as a catalyst to direct his most powerful lighting attack toward the running minotaur by slashing down with all of his might.

Pegasus strike!" with a face full of determination he shouted.

Boom!

Sylvestre's attack hit a running minotaur but this one shielded himself with his war hammer and fended off the attack by swinging the hammer multiple times until the wind pressure overwhelmed the lightning.

The shockwave created by the clash between these two forces sent hundreds of soldiers and monsters flying then created a little thunderstorm which opened a path for the minotaur, and at the same time, sent Sylvestre crashing to the ground.

Sylvestre used all of his remaining strength in that attack but the minotaur was too strong so he almost died if Brad didn't catch him before he crashed violently to the ground.

"Roaaaar!"

The minotaur roared and used the momentum of his speed to jump in the air.

Swoosh!

The wind howled and the minotaur was at least twenty meters above the ground.

The plaza was big enough for millions of people to gather inside so the minotaur didn't have any problem executing such a move.

The minotaur's instinct told it that this attack which took advantage of the gravity would inflict more damage.

It was not a very intelligent monster so it didn't take into account the fact that Marcel could attack him while it was in the air and it might have been just a monster's instinct but at that time, Marcel's face turned pale.

The minotaur acted on instinct but this time the odds seemed to be against everyone who was still inside and around the edifice because Marcel ran out of strength to perform another decisive attack.

Seeing the minotaur, the people that were present on the plaza had different reactions.

Julius just stood there clenching his fist and biting his lips for there was nothing he could do and he couldn't possibly run away and left his wife to die.

Delio was trying to help people to evacuate but the earthquakes, the shockwaves, and the monsters made it difficult for a large number of people to run.

Gracia had a conflicted look on her face. She didn't have any reason to die in this place and Marie wasn't that important to the Holy Church in the first place. It was that she admired Marie when she was little and she didn't want to see her die but now she began to have some second thoughts.

Everyone had different kinds of thoughts as they were watching the minotaur heading down toward them and at that moment, they wished to live more than ever.

Swoosh!

That was when something stunning happened.

The temperature in the surrounding suddenly dropped quickly.

Boom!

The minotaur slammed not on the ground but a wall of ice more than twenty meters tall.

The wall of ice vibrated violently but it didn't crumble even after being hit by an attack that contained the minotaur's brute strength, its darkness elemental power, and the help of gravity.

Everyone's eyes widened again as if everything that happened on the same day wasn't already shocking enough.

"This power… It can't be!" Even Marcel who looked stoic usually had a look of surprise on his face.

"A minotaur?" A bewitching female voice came from the sky and everyone raised their head to look at the owner of this voice.

To their surprise, they saw a woman wearing an alluring red dress standing without any support in the air, strangely enough, she had a chubby-looking baby hanging on top of her head.

"Y-you are the frost queen, L-Liu Vyh Fenrirus," Marcel said in a stuttering manner. His eyes were locked on the person standing in the air.

It was clear that no one expected a person such as the Frost Queen to be present on a remote planet under the jurisdiction of a mere level 5 Lord.

Light of hope began to return in everyone's eyes after seeing the power of this woman who was called Liu the frost queen.

'But why is she here?' Marcel, Gracia, the nobles, and other persons who knew Liu's name wondered.

After all, Liu was described as a very aloof and cold person. She wouldn't have traveled from the Empire to this place unless her father ordered her to perform a task.

In that case, this was a pure coincidence and luck was still on Adam and everyone else's side which happened to be the case since they went through three critical situations but managed to avoid the worst outcome.

Liu didn't pay attention to the people who looked at her and instead focused on the minotaur who had its war hammer stuck on the ice wall.

Liu raised her finger slightly and the ice engulfed the war hammer and the minotaur along with it.

This kind of control could only be done by a high-level gift holder who had mastered the use of their gift and could control the primordial particles at a granular level.

Crack! Boom!

But the minotaur broke out of the ice and jumped down to the ground.

"Roarr!"

It was not pleased since his attack had failed to destroy anything

so it unleashed his darkness elemental power and the dark miasma around him got thicker.

The ice left on its body also vanished and even the ice wall crumbled little by little.

"Roar!" The minotaur roared again as if it was trying to tell Liu to bring it on.

"…"

Even though Liu was displeased by the monster's taunt, no emotions showed on her impeccable face.

"White lotus…"

Liu raised calmly and elegantly her right hand toward the sky and then ice elemental particles gathered above her.

"Third basic technique: Twin celestial dragons," She muttered as if trying to test something that she had learned recently.

The ice particles above Liu's head took the form of two dragons which looked like they were alive as they danced around in the sky.

The people who saw these majestic dragons were left speechless and couldn't even believe that they were alive to witness this another unbelievable scene on the same day.

Then, Liu pointed her hand toward the minotaur and the two ice dragons rushed down with incredible speed and force, demonstrating her mastery and control of the ice elemental gift which was phenomenal.

"Roar!" The minotaur tried to attack the dragons with its war hammer but even its dark elemental power was inferior to Liu's ability and the dragons just dodged its attack and then circled it, making it disoriented.

After that, the dragons wrapped around the minotaur and used their mouth to push the minotaur to the ground and froze it completely to the bones.

The minotaur was frozen completely and shattered like a statue made of glasses.

The wall ice crumbled and people could see what was happening to the minotaur who looked so invincible earlier.

"There's no mistaking it, this person is the Frost Queen. I have already seen that technique being used by the current head of the Fenrirus family a long time ago and now his daughter who has the same elemental gift as him inherited it."

Marcel said, becoming talkative all of sudden because it looked like he admired Liu and her father, and his excitement to see Liu's actual strength showed in his unusual behavior.

As for Julius who was overwhelmed by everything that had happened, he finally turned around and looked at Marie. "How is she doing?" He asked Gracia.

"I have finished removing the poison and restoring her damaged vessels. She will be completely fine after a few days of rest." Garcia answered.

"I can't thank you enough for what you have done. How can I repay your kindness?"

"Don't mention it, I did what I had to do. The danger is still imminent because the portal is still open and monsters like the minotaur will certainly come out of it so I will contact the Empire and ask for a hunter team to be dispatched."

Garcia said, warning Julius then walked away with Marcel to ask for help from the Empire.

"I am indebted to you." Julius bowed to Gracia who was walking away.
