"Damage 543,867, Golden Junior, your reward is the Multiversal Villain's Ultimate Move Roulette."
Hearing about the reward, Zi Ji instinctively looked over from below the stage.
It appeared, the second villain-related reward so far!
The only difference was that Zi Ji's reward was the villain boss weapons roulette, while Snow Emperor's reward was the villain's ultimate move roulette.
In Snow Emperor's reward, the villain wasn't suffixed with 'boss', but the word 'ultimate move' implied that the value of the two rewards was actually quite similar.
Zi Ji was just lucky, drawing a Prince of the State of Ster who relied entirely on his weapon for skills; essentially, a weapon carried all of the villain boss's abilities, including the ultimate moves.
But the question was… why a villain!?
Snow Emperor instantly fell into the same confusion as Zi Ji, who in the world liked villains?
Lin Yi noticed the helplessness in Snow Emperor's expression, but he didn't plan to explain it a second time since he had already explained it once.
If the same skills and weapons were used by the heroes, they would carry the 'heroic' label. It all depends on the stance of the owner, after all, and has nothing to do with the skills and weapons themselves; they are innocent.
Moreover, it was just a reward draw, meant for entertainment, so why care about who had previously used it?
Lin Yi tossed the golden light sphere he held in his hand into the sky, where it transformed into a floating roulette.
This was the first time Snow Emperor faced The Big Wheel reward. She hadn't received many rewards in total, so she was extra nervous this time.
If she drew a useless ultimate move, Snow Emperor swore she would burst Ice Emperor's dog head on the spot.
Wasting her precious chance to attack, Little Scorpion wouldn't get away with it!
Gripping the edge of The Big Wheel, she spun it forcefully, her heart thumped along with the clanking sound of the spinning wheel.
A minute later, The Wheel stopped.
Lin Yi opened the hatch below the pointer, and Snow Emperor stepped forward to take a look, knowing the steps to checking her prize since she had witnessed it so many times; this time, it was finally her turn to receive a Big Wheel reward.
[Fury of Flame Wind Scroll (Lady · Flame Witch)]
Lin Yi looked at the content synchronized on the panel and pondered for a moment.
He then remembered that this came from a villain in a certain game narrative, simply known as "Lady."
She seemed like a mini boss, at least Lin Yi remembered having some difficulty farming her back then.
In battle, the Lady would have two forms, and 'Flame Witch' was her second and most powerful form.
The 'Fury of Flame Wind Scroll' was this second form's ultimate move.
Lin Yi felt a sense of dramatic irony.
A person with ice attributes had actually drawn the form and ultimate move of fire attributes, meaning Snow Emperor couldn't apply her original ice attributes to boost the reward move.
Her icy domain was also set to transform into a domain of flames.
Even if Snow Lady had never heard of this character, she could guess the skill's attributes from the name.
Fire attributes!
She... She, the Ice World Snow Lady, had never used fire before!
Lin Yi said, "Your reward is an ultimate move from a character named Lady. Before releasing the Fury of Flame Wind Scroll, you'll first transform into her Flame Witch Form."
"Ah?"
As expected, Snow Emperor was somewhat stunned.
Lin Yi gestured with his hand, "You should go ahead and claim your reward first."
"Oh, right!"
Mimicking the seniors before her who had received The Big Wheel reward, Snow Emperor obediently stood in front of it, waiting for a streak of golden light to emerge and merge into her body.
After successfully integrating the reward, Snow Emperor indeed felt something previously absent inside her body.
Moreover, she could switch to the second form and use the skill immediately if she wanted to.
The presence of a fire attribute within her felt extremely uncomfortable, but there was no sensation of distress; Lin Yi's rewards were like that, considerately addressing everything to ensure the reward merged perfectly with the attacker.
"Now it's time for you to experience your reward."
Lin Yi made an inviting gesture.
Slightly apprehensive, Snow Emperor nodded. She closed her eyes, and in the next moment, her long, white dress suddenly darkened in color. A blaze rolled down her body swiftly, turning the white gown into a fiery red robe with gold trim.
Gradually, her entire being began to hover mid-air, with dark red flames swirling beneath her feet.
Upon opening her eyes, dark red fire patterns emerged around Snow Emperor's brows, and her white hair turned golden, coiling up at the tips by itself.
Meanwhile, as she transformed into the Flame Witch, Snow Emperor raised her palm; the one who had always detested heat now seemed to become the darling of the flames.
Small fiery whirlwinds started to weave across the platform, Snow Emperor's body disappeared, becoming a massive fire twister that swept past Lin Yi. At this time, she was not only untargetable but also left scorched trails on the ground wherever she passed, turning those areas into extremely hot ash zones.
Lin Yi found himself standing within one of those zones.
He glanced at his own HP drain, noting that fire did indeed cause more severe HP loss than cold domains; it seemed that Lady's fiery form belonged to the category of ultimate fire even in the context of Soul Land.
"Sister, she's changed... She feels so hot!" said Ice Emperor, craning her neck from below.
She could hardly recognize this as Snow Emperor.
The transformation from white to red, from ice to fire, made Snow Emperor seem like she'd completely metamorphosed into another person, one no longer gentle, but with a fiery and explosive temperament.
