Facing Fang Wuwei's fly-like tactics, Tina remained calm and collected. They had encountered such agile enemies more than once, not to mention this person was only taking advantage of their severe injuries. If she were at her peak, she could easily kill him.
"A1 Flashbang, please! Qiu Li..."
It was that strange flashbang again. As soon as the two heard this, they instinctively closed their eyes in unison to avoid the blinding effect of the flashbang.
However, there was no white light explosion, no deafening ringing in their ears. The two quickly realized they had been tricked!
Swiftly opening their eyes, Fang Wuwei had already arrived before them, a golden glow coating his long blade, striking towards Thea's face.
Tina, seeing this situation from the side, cursed him in her heart for being cunning. Then, gritting her teeth, a burst of energy surged from her body, indiscriminately sending both Fang Wuwei and Thea flying dozens of meters away.
The good news was that she saved Thea's life. The bad news was that she was completely unable to move now. If he targeted her, she wouldn't have any power to retaliate.
So Tina plunged her sword into the ground, struggling to stand up, as countless cold currents erupted from the rapier and surged underground.
"Ice Stream!"
As Tina raised her sword, countless cold currents burst from beneath the ground, transforming into numerous sharp ice spikes that emerged from the earth, piercing towards Fang Wuwei.
Fang Wuwei advanced instead of retreating. Now that the two were separated, that husky's movement speed was slower than his. This was an excellent opportunity; how could he let it slip away?
But with countless ice spikes thrusting at him, even though Fang Wuwei tried his best to dodge, he was still injured, the cold entering his body, and his path forward was inevitably blocked.
Seeing the husky getting closer and closer, Fang Wuwei was burning with anxiety. He pulled out a pistol from his system space and fired at Tina, who had collapsed back onto the ground.
But Tina rolled over again, dodging the shot. And Fang Wuwei, in order to fire that shot, had his movement path locked by the solid ice, unable even to retreat.
Thea helped Tina up. Looking at Tina, who had overdrawn her body to use her skill, she tenderly wiped the blood from her lips, glared fiercely at Fang Wuwei, and prepared to run away.
But Tina stopped her. This was a rare and excellent opportunity! "Idiot! He's sealed by me now. You're not going to blast him; you're going to run?"
"Oh, oh!"
Thea suddenly understood. Energy once again gathered in her mouth, forming a light ball, which made Tina's face turn pale. Before she could stop her, the light ball shot out, flying towards Fang Wuwei.
A powerful explosion erupted, and the violent air current sent both of them flying, falling to the ground, causing the two, who were already severely injured, to vomit another large mouthful of blood.
"Thea!!!!!"
"I'm sorry!! Sister Tina!!!"
Tina grabbed Thea's dog ear and twisted it, and Thea didn't resist, only crying out for mercy.
Neither of them believed that Fang Wuwei could survive this attack, so they prepared to run away.
However, things are unpredictable.
Just as the two turned to leave, Thea's back was suddenly slashed.
It was a powerful attack, the cut so deep that bone was visible, bringing out a large amount of blood. Thea collapsed to the ground without even a scream, losing her ability to move.
"Thea!!!!"
Tina looked back in disbelief, only to see Fang Wuwei, with a ferocious expression and completely unharmed, still standing before them, as stubborn as an unkillable cockroach.
"Why are you still alive?" Tina's face gradually darkened. Thea's attack had hit him squarely in the face, so why wasn't he dead? But if he could withstand that move, why was he so disheveled when facing her? "Are you toying with us?"
But Fang Wuwei was far from unharmed; his entire back was scorched. As for why he could withstand it, first, it was thanks to Tina's solid ice, which was indeed hard enough to offset most of the damage. Secondly, how could Fang Wuwei, with his Magic Power Perception talent, not sense that the husky was preparing to unleash another Tailed Beast Bomb? When she was concentrating, Fang Wuwei pulled out eight shields he had looted from enemies, stacked them in front of him, then turned around and took the hit with his back.
Even with such strong defense, it was still penetrated, leaving his back severely burned. It was a fluke that he could withstand that blast.
Looking at Tina, who was staring at him with hatred, Fang Wuwei was about to strike and claim this delicious head, but he suddenly felt a chill throughout his body, and his movements became sluggish.
"The cold has entered your body, hasn't it!" Tina quickly rolled to dodge the blade. Even while lying on the ground, she did not choose to surrender. Thea wasn't dead yet; she had to survive, or at the very least, Thea had to survive! Even if it meant overdrawing her body!
Tina spat out a mouthful of blood, and cold air permeated around her. Countless icy cones condensed at her side. Even lying on the ground, unable to move, Tina still possessed powerful offensive skills. Fang Wuwei looked on with envy; he didn't have such cool and powerful offensive skills.
Facing the rapidly shooting ice cones, his Sharingan saw everything clearly.
The long blade in Fang Wuwei's hand seemed to come alive, dancing so tightly that it created streaks of light. From a distance, it looked like a white wall of light, batting away all the ice cones that attacked him.
Seeing that the ice cones were ineffective, Tina gritted her teeth. She didn't know what would happen to her body if she used this move now.
But glancing at Thea lying in a pool of blood in the distance, a flicker of tenderness and love flashed in Tina's eyes, and she made up her mind.
The cold air in the sky no longer condensed into ice cones; instead, it began to rapidly return to her side, surging into her chest.
Then, a terrifying cold swept through Fang Wuwei's body and soul, as solid ice, mixed with blood and magic power, burst outwards from Tina as its center.
This move was her ultimate attack. It gathered all the cold air in her chest and then unleashed it in one breath, an incredibly powerful AOE that would freeze everything around her, including herself.
But when she had used this move in the past, she was able to escape from the ice herself, but now, she was too weak to control the ice anymore.
Everything went black before her eyes. The cold that used to bring her peace now filled her with terror—the fear of death.
However, thinking that Thea could survive because of this, Tina's fear in her heart lessened considerably. In her eyes, that man could not possibly survive this move.
Her consciousness gradually blurred. Tina's last thought in her mind was that Thea had successfully survived.
Good night, Thea. You must live well even without me.
Tina died completely, perishing within her own ice.
Her equipment scattered everywhere, but it was trapped within the ice, unable to fall out.
On the other side, Fang Wuwei was currently trapped within the solid ice, his consciousness gradually drifting.
Boundless darkness and extreme cold enveloped him, sweeping through his body and soul. He never expected this person could launch such a powerful counterattack.
He had truly fallen today.
The cold completely enveloped him, from inside out, until even Fang Wuwei's thoughts were frozen, and he fell into slumber.
However, it was his destiny; he was not meant to die here after all.
As if fate favored him, not long after, an earthquake occurred in the area where Fang Wuwei was located.
The earthquake shattered the solid ice that had frozen Fang Wuwei. The block of ice encasing Fang Wuwei rolled into the distance along with the crevice caused by the earthquake…
Until a furry bunny girl discovered him.
......
After an unknown amount of time, the biting cold woke Thea, who was lying on the ground. The bone-deep pain made her involuntarily wince.
I'm still alive? Where's Sister Tina?
She looked up and saw a familiar ice mountain.
That was Sister Tina's ultimate technique, which put Thea at ease. Sister Tina unleashed that move; how could that man still be alive?
She stood up, enduring the pain, but the smile on her face did not diminish at all. She was going to find her Sister Tina.
"Sister Tina~ Are you there~ I'm opening the door now~"
Even though her body was in excruciating pain, she still used a playful tone, familiar with the path, bypassing countless ice spikes, and walking towards the center of the ice mountain.
There, she knew her Sister Tina was quietly collecting the spoils of war, or waiting for Thea to dig her out, as was always the case.
Indeed.
Thea looked at the figure in the ice mountain. Sister Tina was indeed too weak to get out herself; she still had to rely on her.
Thea hummed a tune, enduring the pain, and came to the back of the ice mountain. There was a gap there that allowed for quick access to the ice mountain; it was Sister Tina's secret, known only to them.
The ice mountain shattered instantly. Thea looked at the beauty who fell out of the ice mountain with a face full of surprise, but then quickly shrank her head. This time was too dangerous; Sister Tina would surely twist her ear when she came out.
But… Thea just quietly watched Tina, who was lying motionless on the ground, and the countless familiar spoils of war beside her, her face instantly turning pale.
Impossible… Absolutely impossible!
Thea rushed over, ignoring the pain, and picked her up, "Sister Tina… Sister Tina! Don't scare me!" Thea patted Tina's cheek, from light touches at first to heavy slaps at the end, not knowing her strength. She hoped she would wake up, even if it was to scold her.
But no.
She was dead.
Endless pain and sorrow enveloped Thea, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
But there was no one to wipe them away anymore.
"…Sister Tina… I will… avenge you…"
The pain in her body and the pain in her heart combined, and Thea, who could no longer bear it, finally saw black and fainted.
Sister Tina… I might… not make it. I can't avenge you…
But… dying with you, that's also very romantic…
