Chapter 80 Ice Aberration
'Ice aberration, does it really exist?' Echidna thought, looking at the ice sphere that had fallen in front of Marian's house.
Crack!
The thick layer of ice on the sphere began to crack.
"Echidna, be careful, move away!" Fiona said, pushing Echidna away. At that moment, the sphere burst, sending shards of ice into the air, and the Ice aberration emerged, quickly turning its head towards Fiona and Echidna.
Its focus was fixed on Fiona, still suspended in the air a few meters above the ground. With its right hand, the Ice aberration touched one of the ice shards, using two fingers to throw it towards Fiona, hitting her head and dazing her.
As the Ice aberration's right foot touched the ground, it lunged towards Fiona, delivering a punch to her right rib, sending her flying and stopping only when she collided with the ground, unconscious.
The Ice aberration turned to Echidna, speaking with a presumptuous tone, "Are you the spawn of that bitch?"
'Fiona, I interfered with her...'
"Hey, answer me, are you the daughter of Duchess Marian?" the furious Ice aberration demanded.
A sudden gust of wind appeared from behind the Ice aberration, and when it subsided, a small tornado had formed around Echidna's arm. "There's an injured person inside, you can't enter."
"It seems I was too rude to you, my apologies," the Ice aberration stroked its chin, saying, "I pity you, you know? Having a mother like that bitch."
"So don't worry, I just want your mother."
Echidna averted her gaze to where Fiona lay face down on the ground.
"Ah... well, she seemed very strong to me, so I had to seize the opportunity since her bloodlust was too high, that's all."
Before Echidna could respond, the Ice aberration sensed the presence of something, looking directly in the direction where Dantalian would be. "So, the bastard who ruined my plans is here. I'm sorry, Miss, but..."
Echidna's fist sank into the face of the Ice aberration, and the wind surrounding her mother caused numerous cuts on the aberration's helmet. "He's injured, dare not to touch him." The tornado detached from Echidna's arm, lunging forward, practically engulfing the head of the Ice aberration.
This attack sent it flying, not only due to the impact, but also because of the tornado, which cut not only its face but its entire body. The Ice aberration was carried hundreds of meters away, far beyond where it would have stopped solely from the force of Echidna's punch.
Echidna ran towards Fiona, speaking with concern, "Miss Fiona!"
When Echidna got close to Fiona, she would see one of Fiona's right hand fingers move, and then Fiona stood up, placing her hand on her forehead. "What happened?"
"It was the Ice aberration, it caught her off guard for helping me..." Echidna's voice gradually saddened.
"Ice aberration? My god, how could I be so careless? Let's go, we need to kill him." As Fiona stood up, the icy hand of the Ice aberration appeared, gripping Fiona's head and spinning her around, throwing her far away.
The Ice aberration, with its fully restored armor, grabbed Echidna's shoulder, but before it could say anything, a pillar of ice formed beneath its feet, lifting it into the sky.
Fiona landed softly on the ground, smiling. "Damn, it caught me off guard again."
Fiona smiled and said, "Let's kill that bastard now."
While in mid-air, the Ice aberration moved its arms, causing a pillar of ice to appear beneath Echidna's feet, but she easily dodged it by jumping backwards and firing numerous air bullets towards the Ice aberration, who used its right arm to block all the air bullets.
"You damn bitch, are you really going to protect your mother like this?" The armor on the Ice aberration's right arm began to regenerate.
"What a persistent bastard," Fiona said, creating hundreds of ice needles and throwing them at the Ice aberration, while winking at Echidna, creating a pillar of ice beneath her own feet.
Creating two ice spears, she threw them along with the needles.
"I overestimated you, it seems," the Ice aberration said, pointing downwards and creating hundreds of ice needles to counter Fiona's attack.
While it dodged the two spears, it grabbed the handle of one and used it to hit the end of the other spear, making it spin in the air as it also grabbed it by the handle and threw it towards Fiona.
Fiona smiled and said, "Nice work."
Behind the Ice aberration, Echidna appeared, having jumped from the ice pillar Fiona had created.
Echidna struck the back of the Ice aberration with the palm of her hand, creating a tornado directly on its body, launching it towards the ground at such speed that Fiona couldn't even blink, and the aberration crashed onto the ground.
Inside Marian's house, she spoke while looking at Freytan and Amanda, "What are you doing here?"
"Can't you hear the noises? Are you going to help or do you know what will happen if he gets here?"
'Kill that bastard already, damn it! And I have to take care of this damn guy here,' Marian thought while looking at Freytan and Amanda with a worried expression. "What will happen to your master if he arrives? Can't you see his condition?"
Amanda sighed, shaking her head. "Fiona is outside, you don't need to worry, she's very strong."
'Is that all?' Marian thought, holding her anger internally.
"You should be protecting him, shouldn't you? So stop fooling around."
'Why do you want to be alone with me so badly? I'm curious,' Dantalian thought.
"Yaww." Dantalian yawned.
The three of them smiled at that. "Oh, your master seems to be doing well finally."
"It's obvious, he's our master. If he hadn't suffered so much in the recent missions, it wouldn't have affected him," Amanda said.
"Amanda," Freytan spoke up.
"Yes?"
"Now that the master is fine, I'll go check on Fiona. Don't let her do anything wrong," Freytan pointed her finger and looked directly at Marian.
"Of course, I'll do that," Amanda said with a smile.
'What was that about?' Marian thought. 'For some reason, this seems strange to me...'
"Oh, what happened? Where am I?" Dantalian spoke after opening his eyes.
"Master!!! You finally woke up," Amanda exclaimed, smiling and running to hug Dantalian.
"Amanda, no! He may not be a hundred percent yet," Marian exclaimed.
"So, Mr. Dantalian, are you feeling well? And again, I apologize for my behavior. It's not appropriate," Marian said.
Dantalian shook his head and said, "There's nothing to worry about. It was a mistake, first and foremost. Hahaha." Dantalian looked around.
"But where is she? And Amanda? What are they doing here?"
"Oh, don't worry about that. Echidna and Fiona are dealing with the bastard who spread rumors about me," Marian said with a smile as she waved her hand.
Seconds after Marian said that, a loud crash could be heard, seemingly coming from where Echidna and Fiona were.
Going back a few minutes in the past
Echidna landed on the ground, looking at Fiona who had a smile on her face. The reason for that was the ice aberration lying on the ground. Parts of its body were missing, possibly thrown far away.
"Now, let's begin the plan," Fiona said, approaching the body of the ice aberration.
"Be careful, we don't know if it has something else up its sleeve," Echidna said. After Echidna spoke, Fiona stopped and created two ice stakes, plunging one into the head of the aberration and the other into its heart.
"Now, it's dead. I'm sure of it," Fiona said, smiling as she held the completely shattered arms of the ice aberration.
"I can't deny it," Echidna said.
"Alright, let's do this," Fiona said, holding onto the ice aberration's two arms and lifting it up. At that moment, a small amount of blue energy began to surround both of them.
"Fiona! Let go of him now, this..." Echidna shouted when a strong blue glow covered their eyes.
Suddenly, the ice aberration launched itself into the sky, its armor restored along with its body.
"What? No, how???" Echidna exclaimed, looking at the ice aberration. Even though she couldn't see its face, the wretched being managed to mock her.
"If Fiona hadn't touched me, awhahaha, look at her condition now," the aberration said. "I am a parasite, hahaha."
Fiona was moving her hands and appeared completely normal. "I guess I have too much power," Fiona said, smiling.
"Well, I didn't even need to see you. There's no salvation for you. I'll have to completely destroy you," Echidna said, starting to float. "I don't usually do this as a personal rule, but now there's no reason to hold back, right, Fiona?"
"Of course, go ahead," Fiona said, smiling as she watched Echidna fly towards the ice aberration.
"Oh, so it's just you alone? Come then, I'll finish you off, and then your mother. Both of you are cut from the same cloth," the ice aberration spoke, creating a pillar in mid-air, holding it with its hands, and hurling it towards Echidna.
' This is so much fun to watch, hahaha ' Fiona thought.
