-----

The capture of Astaroth's Soul was a combination of many existing factors and a few others I made real through Skill Fusion. Thanks to Sepa's Soul Manifestation, my own Cosmic Energy, my Arcane Hands "hacking" through the composition of his enormous soul, and the combination of spells weakening and sealing its true powers, all while Gram was able to weaken him severely and then create the Purgatory Realm Skill, they were all factors that made this enormous victory possible.

It's not like I know every possible Skill Fusion out there, but as my Stats increase, I can see and feel insights. Sometimes, by just thinking about it or theorizing an idea, I can see what the results of Fusions could become. This "Insight" is both the effects of the Divine Eyes of Truth and probably a few other Skills as well as my Stats.

Of course, the memories of having read the novel help tremendously too. Although my brother never had Divine Eyes of Truth, he has the innate ability to combine Skills through the Gluttony Skill that Fenrir gave him.

Therefore, based on his own Skill Fusions, I can draw certain conclusions about which skills can be combined to create different types of new Skills. And, well, it's always important to make sure they make sense.

For example, Healing Hands and Great Sorceress would obviously give me some sort of hand that could conjure a lot of magic, and also, the essence of Ramses Urn, which can trap and seal souls, with the divinity of death of Thanatos Stigma might have given me the way to seal a powerful demonic soul with a fragment of a God of Death's Divinity.

And it worked!

"Get me out of here! Y-You can't just do this! The other Apostles of Death will not forgive you! And the Constellations backing me…! They will keep hunting you, you damned human!" Astaroth kept barking furiously, but he was too tiny and pathetic for me to feel intimidated.

"So you really trapped him there." Sara glanced through the Purgatory Mirror, which allowed her to see what was happening inside. "This bastard that killed me... Heh, good, this is a fitting punishment! Killing him would have only given him the chance to come back in another vessel anyway."

"Yeah, I can't kill him right now, but I was able to seal him." I nodded. "Now, Sara, how about you have some fun?"

"F-Fun?" She asked curiously.

"I know you have a terrible grudge against him, and this is just not enough, right? Also, you can get used to your new abilities and... well, accept what you've become much better at if you have an unkillable dummy like him." I smiled. "Wanna give it a try? Just a couple of minutes so you can let out some steam."

"Anna…" Sara suddenly felt surprised by my words.

Of course, I wasn't talking about this without any point; I knew based on the background information I got from her after giving her some privileges that she was struggling with accepting what she has become and also with the terrible grudge she has against the one that took her life.

If we let her torture Astaroth to her heart's content, she might get over this quickly.

"So?" I asked her with a smile. "Wanna give it a try?"

"But we're in a raid, and... Ah, screw it." Sara instantly jumped into the Purgatory Realm Portal, which Astaroth tried to immediately use to escape.

However, no matter how much he tried, an invisible wall stopped him from coming out. Unless I allowed him to get out, he was never getting out of there.

"ARRGGH! Why can't I get out?!"

"You're coming with me, bastard."

Sara grabbed him by the neck and threw him down into the Purgatory. I allowed Astaroth to regain his large dragon form because torturing a tiny little snake would be boring and pitiful.

"Y-You dare come to confront me alone?!" Laughed Astaroth. "Your friend has committed a terrible mistake by giving me back my form and strength! I'll crush you to- Geh?!"

CRASH!

However, a giant fist made of phantasmal energy threw him several meters away, creating a gigantic fissure right where he landed. The Purgatory Realm seemed endless, but it wasn't larger than a stadium, and that was enough space for the two to fight to their hearts's content.

"I didn't know I could do this…" Sara looked at her own Phantasmal Aura, which had shapeshifted into a gigantic arm with a fist. "So this is how it works, huh? Not just clones; what else can I do with this power?"

She smiled, looking at the furious dragon slowly standing up, his body engulfed in Black Flames, his many eyes glowing bright red.

"YOU BASTARD!!!"

He rushed towards her, unleashing an endless rain of black flames and fireballs towards her. Numerous explosions engulfed her.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

"Hmph!"

However, Saran quickly rushed forward, her body transforming, as she used her Spectral Body Skill much better, generating several arms and then skeleton-like claws!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Amazing…! And there's more to it too! I can shape this however the fuck I want!"

Sara laughed manically as she reached Astaroth, kicking his giant head several times with her hard black heels, making him scream in agony before several spears made of phantasmal flames pierced his body several times.

"Urgh…! W-Why are you so damn strong now?!" Astaroth screamed.

"In this world, Astaroth, the stat boosts from your sponsors don't apply." I smiled. "Also, your soul is sealed into a tiny ball, so you can barely use around… 25% of your true power?"

"THIS IS UNFAIR…!"

Astaroth kept crying as Sara happily beat the shit out of him constantly. Meanwhile, I checked the new Skill's information before beginning to analyze my surroundings.

[Divine Demon-Sealing Purgatory Realm (SS): Lv1]

[Skill EXP]: [0/25000]

A Unique Skill created by the Fusion of the Essence and Power of [Ramses' Soul Eating Urn] and the [Thanatos' Stigma] Skill.

A Special Pocket Dimension was first designed by the Ancient True Archangels to seal the powerful Demons that couldn't be sealed with normal Celestial Magic.

This special Realm that is not larger than a stadium can seal any Demon Soul within, a Purgatory for their sinful souls. The more sinful their souls are, the more sealed their powers become.

The wielder of this Skill can invite anybody inside to open a {Purgatory Portal} whenever they please and see inside of it even without opening one through the {Purgatory All-Seeing Eyes}, while also being able to show its contents to others through the {Purgatory Mirror}.

Demon Souls sealed inside the Purgatory cannot do as they please independently and will be below the Skill user's authority until the day of their deaths, or until they free them willingly.

Even when outside the Purgatory, the Demon Souls will always belong to the wielder. And through {Demon Soul Synthesis}, it is possible to transform the shape of the Demon Soul and the body attached to it, if there are any, into many shapes, such as Weapons, Materials, or even Beasts and Humanoid forms by supplying with Mana and Demonic Energy to the Demon Soul.

When using the Demon Soul in such ways, the Master has total power over their abilities. The Space within the Purgatory expands as the Skill Level increases. The Purgatory might develop an ecosystem of its own the more Demon Souls are placed inside, giving further strength to the Master.

Each Demon Soul sealed inside will have 25% of their Stats shared with their Masters, along with some of their Abilities and Unique Powers, which can be activated through the {Purgatory Soul Fusion} Ability, for as long as 1 Hour. Cooldown: 5 Hours.

Level Bonus (1): Purgatory Space +10%. {Purgatory Soul Fusion} Durability: +10%. {Demon Soul Synthesis} Super Rare Transformation Chance: +10%.

-----

A very strange, if not bizarre, skill... It allows an incredibly great deal of freedom in what I can do with the prisoners inside. Although that little bit of lore about Ancient True Archangels is new to me. I guess this Skill might be possessed by very powerful Constellations.

And I can do a lot with Astaroth's Soul, much more than I had previously thought. I could even turn him into material! Or, maybe, a weapon? Or another pet, or all of them at once! Oh my, he sure has a lot of styles.

As Sara beat the crap out of him, I started to gaze around my surroundings, feeling that we were still trapped within the Pocket Dimension.

"So killing the guy doesn't fix it?" I wondered, gathering the leftover materials for Astaroth.

Because she shredded his body so much, there were a lot of goodies left behind. Including a lot of strange divine spiderwebs, huge spider legs, bones, flesh, organs, blood, eyes, and skull pieces, all of which were quickly gathered inside my Inventory.

Ding!

[You have gathered: [Astaroth's Aberrant Arachne Legs (A- Rank)] x8!]

[You have gathered: [Astaroth's Arachne Divine Spiderweb (A+ Rank)] x22!]

[You have gathered: [Astaroth's Corrupted Draconic Blood Bottles (S- Rank)] x17!]

[You have gathered: [Astaroth's Degenerated Demonic Internal Organs (S- Rank)] x9!]

[You have gathered: [Astaroth's Broken Draconic Bones (S- Rank)] x16!]

[You have gathered: [Astaroth's Demonic Dragon's Eyes (S Rank)] x4!]

[What Luck! All Items Ranks have increased by one!]

After gathering all those goodies, I quickly decided to start working.

["Oi, are you not going to share some of that?! I'm starving here!"] Gram complained.

"Later, and you can't even feel hunger, you're a sword." I laughed. "Now, how about we break out of this dimension? I bet that Imp will keep throwing demons at us once he sees Astaroth is nowhere to be seen… Although I would love more EXP, there are more important things to do right now."

I imbued Celestial Energy and Demonic Energy into Gram's Blade, alongside some Cosmic Energy as well, and then activated [Thousand Blades]!

"RAAH!"

With a roar, I swung my sword several times against the empty air in front of me. Several slashing blows pierced through something, and Gram's blade was constantly slashing the empty air.

Crack, crack…!

Until cracks started to appear, constantly...

It was working as intended. Good!

"Keep going…!"

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

I kept attacking; each slash was quickly multiplied into multiple attacks at once, constantly accumulating more and more pressure into the cracks, which were trying to constantly regenerate back to normal.

Crack, crack…

CRACK!

Until finally…

"HYAAH!"

SLAAASH!

I concentrated hundreds of slashes into a single powerful attack through the Thousand Blades Skill, piercing through the large cracks once more, finally opening them completely!

CRASH!

The empty air shattered into pieces as if it were glass, and another side opened, revealing a new set of corridors and rooms.

"It looks like this is the way out." I smiled. "Everyone, quickly come here!"

I called my Familiars as we jumped out of the cracks and into the next Pocket Dimension, the cracks beginning to slowly recover to normal.

The Purgatory Realm goes with me wherever I move, so it doesn't matter if I don't bring Sara out right now. Though she seemed almost finished,.

FLUOSH!

The portal opened again, and she walked out of it feeling very refreshed and covered in a lot of dragon blood. I noticed Astaroth's body behind, covered in countless holes and terrible wounds, which slowly started to regenerate.

I was almost feeling pity for him. Well, almost.

"Phew… That felt really good." Sara smiled, her eyes suddenly glowing bright red. "I think I've understood my new powers better and who I truly am. I am rather thankful to him now, actually. If I hadn't died back then, I wouldn't have been able to become so strong now. I don't know if I'm even a human anymore, but that's fine with me too."

"Glad you've adapted better to your body." I smiled. "Now calm down for a bit; you're all covered in blood! {Cleaning Light}"

FLASH!

I conjured a simple light spell, cleaning her entire clothes from the blood, as Sara thanked me, smiling sweetly and with her crimson eyes glancing directly towards my eyes.

"Thank you so much, Anna." She smiled, suddenly bowing down to me. "I know what I've become, and it's also thanks to your benevolence. You could have left me dead, but you decided to bring me back. I know why I feel this connection with you; you're the one who helped me wake up from the dead, right?"

"Well, yes." I sighed. "I used the spells imbued on Hel's Grimoire, an item I got for defeating her," I explained.

"I see…" She nodded, gently grabbing my hand and kissing her. "You're strong, smart, and incredible. If you allow me, I will follow you as your loyal companion until the end of this madness in the world. This is my oath, as an Assassin, and also as an Undead raised by you."

"Sara…" I sighed, feeling slightly guilty. "You don't have to feel the necessity to do this, but... Fine, I doubt I can fight against your desires like this."

"T-Thank you so much, Master!" She smiled happily.

"Anna! Call me by my name! I'm not your master; I'm your companion and friend, remember?" I smiled. "So no weird titles; that gave me cringe."

"Fine." She nodded. "Thank you, Anna." She quickly stood back up and hugged me tightly, embracing me with her long arms and pushing my head into her large breasts.

"Huh?!" I cried in surprise; her chest was so puffy too!

"Ah, you're so warm compared to my cold body." She smiled, feeling rather blessed. "A-Ah! What am I doing?!" She quickly stepped back.

"It's fine; it was just a hug." I shrugged.

"But I felt this weird passion... I don't know how to describe it. I wanted to embrace you." She sighed, feeling strange about herself.

"I-Is that so? Maybe because you're kind of like my Familiar…" I sighed. "B-But anyways, it doesn't matter, really! Let's just keep moving forward, shall we?"

"Right…" She nodded, and her embarrassment, which made her blush a lot, slowly calmed down. "Let's go; we have a lot to do yet!"

"Indeed… There are two people a few miles from here; let's go!" As we stepped forward, I received several System Messages.

Ding!

[Character: Sara] has managed to accept what she has become and has fully embraced her new identity and strengths, while accepting her previous death and looking forward to a new future.

[Not only has she found a new meaning to her new life, but she has also humiliated the one that took her previous life, venting all her frustrations and feeling much better about herself.]

[Character: Sara] has undergone Character Growth, learning the new Skill: [Spectral Fighting Techniques (A)]!]

[Skill Copy Conditions have been fulfilled; you can now Copy one of Sara's Unique Skills.]

[Available Skills]: [Spectral Body (S)] [Undead Master (S)] [Phantasmal Veil (S)] [Spectral Fighting Techniques (A)]

Not only did she acquire a new Skill thanks to her [Character Growth], some sort of ability my Privilege gives to other people, but the Skill Copy Conditions were finally fulfilled!

Now, what should I take?

Beelzebub glanced at what was happening through the many pocket dimensions that Jeremias created within the Demonic Castle. His bug-like eyes grew madder in anger and disbelief as he realized the insanity that Anna had done.

"She… She defeated Astaroth, who was being sponsored by several constellations and even Impossible!" Beelzebub screamed in utter disbelief.

"What did she do?" Heisenberg asked, his eyes glowing with bright red light.

"She sealed Astaroth's soul inside a strange realm of her own creation!" Said Beelzebub. "To be able to do such a thing... Only beings that have already passed through the Third Awakening could ever, and only the strongest magicians out there in the Higher Planes! What's… What is she?!"

"So she sealed Astaroth's soul?" Asked Heisenberg. "Wasn't he a big shot like you?"

"He was… Well, he is much weaker than me, but even then, a mortal like her should never be able to do such a thing." Said Beelzebub. "This is unbelievable. She even broke through the dimensional walls and is trying to interfere with the other hunters."

"What did I tell you?" Heisenberg asked. "She's dangerous… She knows too much, she's too strong, and her powers are strange. Since I set my eyes on her, I've felt a strange feeling about her. She even convinced my little sister to betray me. She's someone that must be disposed of right away."

"You plan on going yourself? Are you insane?" Asked Beelzebub. "Don't lower yourself to the level of these mere sacrifices, Jeremias!"

POOF!

"Yes, Lord Beelzebub?"

The imp-like demon emerged at the side of Beelzebub's manifestation, bowing before him.

"Catch that girl and don't let her interfere anymore. Trap her and destroy her! I allow you to use as much demon energy as you need." Beelzebub said, clicking his insect-like mandibles.

"…I see. Very well." Jeremias smiled maliciously, looking forward to that. "I shall do as you ask me, my lord."

FLASH!

The imp-like demon disappeared in that very instant, as Beelzebub kept watching, waiting for the hunters to die and give him the needed power to complete his true goal.

A goal he was even hiding from Heisenberg, who had grown more suspicious of the demon.

.

CLASH!

A gigantic crow talon clashed against Jack as he was pushed away several meters, clashing against dozens of walls and breaking all of them one after another.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

"Dammit, this fucking crow! Stop getting in my way!"

Jack roared furiously; he was already giving his all to defeat Lee until a Death Apostle Manifestation appeared out of nowhere.

He quickly assumed that this was the actual enemy they were supposed to defeat. He was already imagining that Beelzebub decided to summon his little friends again, this time one after another in different rooms, trapping the hunters with them so they could easily be slaughtered.

"KAHAHAHAH!Weak! You're too weak, human! I thought the wielder of Fenrir's powers would be much stronger, but it ended up being a weakling such as you! Utterly Pathetic!"

Neberius, the giant humanoid crow-like Death Apostle, laughed as he quickly reached Jack once more. Lee had been blown away by a tremendous explosion of feather projectiles and was bleeding all over.

"Weak?" Jack smiled. "You're going to see what a truly weak being is when you realize how pathetic you are, shithead."

"Huh?! You're talking in such a tone to the King of Cunningness?! Fool!" Laughed the crow, rushing towards Jack, his sharp talons unleashing a barrage of explosive kicking strikes!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Each attack landed on Jack as his body was torn apart piece by piece. Neberius laughed, amused by the weakness of humans against the almighty power of the Death Apostles, beings that were just a step from reaching Ascension and becoming Constellations themselves.

"You're being torn to shreds like a pathetic bug! Humans are truly just little insects compared to us almighty Demons!" Neberius laughed once more, until suddenly...

FLUOSH!

All the pieces left from Jack having been torn to shreds started to overflow with shadow energy, exploding one after another!

"{Shadow Flare Explosion}"

"CRAAAAHHH?!"

Neberius was shocked to realize the one he had been kicking wasn't Jack, but a Shadow Clone he had made. Just in that moment, each of the Shadow Clone's pieces became a bomb, with several explosions engulfing his entire body!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

His body was quickly covered in many burn wounds as his black feathers flew everywhere. The deadly Shadow Flare was a powerful type of flame Jack could wield, a result of having fused many fire-related skills together and further enchanted with Fenrir's Divine Shadows.

Therefore, even if he was a mere mortal compared to Neberius, it was bound to deal a good amount of damage! And... that wasn't all either.

FLASH!

Jack appeared right behind Neberius as he was dizzy from having taken so many attacks at once, his Demonic Gram overflowing with his Shadow Aura and his Shadow Flare!

"{Sunless Blade Arts: Hollow Slash}"

SLASH!

A powerful slash unleashing a tremendous quantity of pure darkness reached Neberius's back, quickly cutting one of his large wings and blowing him away from the scene. The rooms surrounding them quickly began to explode, filling the entire place with countless pieces of debris.

BAAAM!

"C-CRAAAHH…!"

Neberius groaned in agony as Jack was going to kill him, only to feel a deadly presence lurking right behind him!

"Hey Jack, don't forget about me!"

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Three powerful attacks reached Jack's back, in the form of giant crimson snakes made out of Lee's swords and his aura, which Anna's brother barely managed to block with his sword. His body quickly transformed into a black werewolf appearance, enhancing his powers by further increasing his affinity with Fenrir and their fusion together.

"Lee! Don't be foolish! We should defeat that demon first before fighting again." Jack said. "Believe me, I really want to kill you right now, but there are priorities!"

"Priorities?" Asked Lee with a wicked smile, his tongue suddenly resembling the one of a snake. "This is perfect, actually! Neberius' presence in here is ideal; he will keep punching you while I sneak when you least expect it! Let's keep this going until you die, Jack~!"

Lee maliciously laughed as he unleashed a barrage of explosive attacks, his crimson aura erupting and shapeshifting into countless ferocious snakes, all of them trying to bite through Jack's entire body!

"You insane fucking nutjob!"

Jack roared back, attacking similarly as his Shadow Aura transformed into an amorphous mass of countless shadow beasts, but mostly the giant wolf jaws of Fenrir.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"Who's the nutjob here when you're just as insane as I am, Jacky?" Lee laughed; his aura constantly transformed. Suddenly, several of the snakes fused together into gigantic arms; each finger was like a smaller snake, and dozens of gigantic arms constantly tried to pulverize Jack!

"{Snake God's Hands}!"

BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM! BAAAM!

"Shit!"

Jack continued blocking and evading the devastating and gigantic attacks; he moved at incredible speeds as he shapeshifted his back, taking the wings of Neberius, which he had just devoured.

"{Shadow Crow Demon Wings}!"

FLUOSH!

Utilizing the new skill he acquired from devouring one of Neberius' wings, he flew at incredible speeds, evading the attacks and cutting down to pieces all of Lee's attacks!

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

"W-What?!"

Lee stepped back in surprise at what he was seeing! He couldn't believe Jack had just copied one of that demon's powers like nothing.

"So that's your power... My master was right!" Laughed Lee. "Fenrir's true power... [Gluttony]! Not only can it devour things, but it can even absorb the powers of the things it devours?! Hahh~! I really want it! I'll make sure to get it once we devour both of you!"

"As if you could ever eat me, you snake-faced fucker!" Jack reached Lee before he could finish speaking, his legs transforming into the talons of a giant dragon he had once eaten, crushing his pretty face with both a big physical attack and an explosion of Shadow Flare!

CLASH!

Lee was blown away several meters away, constantly clashing and destroying the walls of this infinite pocket dimension filled with nothing but just rooms.

"M-My face…!" Lee screamed, tears flowing from his eyes as he touched his face. "Urgh, you're going to pay for this!"

He was an incredibly selfish and narcissistic man, as if that wasn't obvious enough, and his face had been marketed in many places around the world. He was a well-known model and hunter, so he had appeared in dozens of ads and was even going to star in a movie about hunters soon.

Seeing his face destroyed and burned by Jack made him extremely bitter! And also, it made Jack realize how frail this man's ego truly was.

"Pathetic, you get upset because I kicked your face?" Jack laughed. "You're really just a little bitch, aren't you?"

"W-What did you say?!" Lee was growing angrier; his entire body was constantly growing hundreds upon hundreds of scarlet red scales; a long snake-like tongue; longer claws; and his eyes were becoming sharper and more ferocious.

"Don't you dare ignore me, humans!"

BAAAM!

However, their confrontation was once again interrupted as Neberius arrived, his body mostly healed by the rich amount of Demonic Energy in the air. Lee smiled, quickly running away. Neberius didn't mind because his target now was Jack, after the beating he gave him.

"Lee, you bastard!" Jack roared, trying to chase him only for Neberius' giant fists to reach him, punching his entire body hundreds of times in just a few seconds, showcasing how incredibly fast he was!

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

"I told you not to IGNORE ME!"

CLAAASH!

"URGH…!"

Jack was blown away completely, vomiting a mouthful of blood as he landed on the ceiling, blowing through dozens of upper floors one after another.

"Hehehe, I'm pretty strong, aren't I? Did you think that because I was a low-ranking Death Apostle, I'm weak?!" Laughed Neberius. "Well, you're sorely mistaken!"

FLASH!

He quickly flew with a single wing, reaching Jack to unleash another barrage of punches and kicks, his black feathers flying around him, and then being shot towards his target like deadly explosive projectiles as well!

"SHAAAH!"

And as if things couldn't get any worse, dozens of crimson snakes emerged right from behind him, opening their jaws and aiming at his throat!

"I can't take a fucking break, can't I?" Jack lamented.

.

.

.

"Hahahah! What's wrong, little girl?! Afraid your ice is not working properly?!"

"Ugh! You disgusting fucking cat, stop chasing me!"

"Well, the other guy is already dead; what do you expect me to do?! GAHAHAHA!"

Dan Baihe had entered into a nightmare the moment she and the rest of the hunters raided the Demonic Castle.

Not only was she teleported away with Hector from all people, but a giant Jaguar-like Demon that called himself Aim swiftly killed him before he could even attack.

His incredible movement speed was otherworldly, and Hector, the incarnation of Thor, met a swift end as his head was devoured by the giant jaguar's jaws before he could even fight back.

"Huh…?"

CRUNCH!

Hector wasn't even able to react in time or even scream; his head was pulverized, and his brains were splattered everywhere. Dan Baihe could still remember that traumatic sight, which only happened a couple of minutes ago.

An A+ rank hunter was killed in a second.

This was something the Death Apostles could do; Dan Baihe had already seen the bastard of Astaroth kill Sara before!

"Hector died so suddenly... I couldn't do anything!" Dan Baihe was crying as she kept flying away from Aim as fast as she could. "My ice has almost no effect on him either! He's covered in such a powerful Lightning Aura!"

"You're pretty fast with that spell of yours, but how long can you keep flying away before your Mana runs out, brat?!" Aim reached her in a single second, covered with lightning, as a powerful lightning strike reached her!

CRASH!

Dan Baihe barely survived as she conjured a giant wall made of ice that shattered almost at the same time it received the attack, but at the very least it took it, and that gave her a second to escape!

"Anna…!" Dan Baihe thought. "Will I die here without even being able to meet her again?!"

"Getting closer and closer~"

"GET AWAY FROM ME!"

Dan Baihe screamed, constantly conjuring gigantic spears of ice one after another, trying to pierce the jaguar's body, only for his incredibly swift body to evade all blows and move at lightning speed!

"Hahahaha! TOO SLOW!"

FLASH!

With a beastly pounce, Aim reached Dan Baihe once more, his gigantic jaws aiming at his head, to give her a swift end just like Hector, a famous and powerful A+ Rank Hunter, who died so suddenly!

"No…! All my training, everything I've learned... Is it all for nothing?!" Dan Baihe thought about it in those seconds. "Will I die pathetically? Like the extra nobody cares about in a story?!"

As she thought that, Dan Baihe suddenly felt time freezing around her.

"Huh?"

Her surroundings started to become incredibly cold, freezing everywhere. A cold, chilly air started spreading everywhere.

As she looked around in disbelief, she heard the sound of heels walking behind her. She turned around to find something utterly bizarre.

A woman that looked almost exactly like her, but much older, was wearing a blue dress, her eyes glowing with dark blue light.

"Why are you not using your powers? Why are you doubting?"

"W-Who…? Who are you?!"

"Isn't it obvious enough, Dan Baihe? Or should I say... past me?"

"E-Eh…?"

Dan Baihe was filled with disbelief.

Just what was happening?

"That girl overwrote the future. But my existence did not disappear. I still linger within the Veins of Causality, trapped in a lost future. To the whims of whoever would ever desire to summon me elsewhere." She explained. "We are linked because we are the same. But you're much weaker and pathetic."

"My... future self?" Dan Baihe couldn't believe it.

"You lack anger, you lack fury... You lack resentment." Her future self told her. "Dan Baihe, remember what made you so angry back then—the abuse, the discrimination, and the death of your parents. Remember your anger!"

"Ahh…!" Dan Baihe had forgotten about such things because of how comfortably she had been living with Anna.

But now... those memories started flashing once more, one after another, through her mind, her powers beginning to intensify because their abilities were based on her own emotions.

The true power of the [Frost Queen] Skill!

Time quickly started resuming its pace as her future self slowly started walking away, leaving Dan Baihe to her own fate.

"I've told you what you need to know, my pathetic little self. Now fight and survive... It wouldn't be fun if this was our last time meeting one another." Her future self said, smiling maliciously back at Dan Baihe.

FLASH!

Time resumed, and Aim's giant jaws reached Dan Baihe, almost covering her entire mouth.

But then…

"{Winter's Wrath}"

BOOOM!

Aim's entire mouth was filled with endlessly growing ice crystals.
