A cold wind blew from all four directions, and the ice essences surrounding Elsa fluttered erratically, as they gently brought her body up to the air. Her toes left the ground and quietly floated in the air. Her arms gently spread open. Then, the long blue hair that was draped on her shoulders began to lightly flutter.
Coupled with the big illusory figure on her back, Elsa truly looked like a goddess.
The fluttering of the ice essences became even faster, and the surrounding temperature fell at an astonishing speed. Right at this moment, a blue glow suddenly radiated from Elsa's body, and immediately after, a spiralling cold wind filled the entire arena.
"Ah!!"
"This… This aura… This is…"
"A mid level Knight!"
Elsa was a mid level Knight Realm practitioner! She was actually hiding her true strength this whole time.
That sudden flashing blue glow ruthlessly pierced into Erza's eyes, causing her to instinctively shut her eyes. She immediately opened them but the moment her eyes fell on Elsa, she suddenly stood there dumbfounded.
The cold wind had calmly dispersed, however, Elsa's dress was still fluttering even without the wind. The veil on Elsa's face had already disappeared, as it seemed to have flown away somewhere after the windstorm of profound energy.
What was revealed was a fairy-like appearance, which could eclipse the heavens and earth, and could even put the sun and moon to shame. However, her pair of eyes had underwent an earthshaking change… They were entirely ice-blue in colour, like sapphires which were flashing with a bright and cold light.
The ice essences floating in her surroundings underwent great changes as well. Earlier, every ice essence was as small as diamond, now, it was as though they had turned into twinkling stars. And Elsa, who was under these endless clusters of stars, seemed to have been born from the ice and snow, a fairy in the snow who had not been tainted by the mortal world at all.
"I… Ice Phoenix Ninth Form… Ice Body Jade Bones…"
The voice of Violet, Valentine Clan's number one Ice Empress, was currently stuttering a little. Looking at Elsa who had turned into a snow fairy, the astonishment in her heart had reached an indescribable degree. She did not know just how many astonishments and shocks this thirteen-years old girl would give her before she would bring herself to stop…
Ice Phoenix Ninth Form… That was an extremely high and pure form which only the current matriarch of Ice Phoenix Clan could achieve!! And unlike Elsa, she was a Saint Beast. A True Phoenix!
Genius, prodigy, monster, freak… Currently, in Violet heart, even when adding all these terms together, it would not be enough to explain Elsa.
"Mn? What's going on?" Elsa's mother, Stephanie, elegant brows tightened, as she said puzzlingly. "Why did Elsa expose her strongest trump card? If she wants to defeat Erza, using the Seventh Form of Ice Phoenix would have been completely sufficient."
"Elsa is not a rash person, she must have her reasons. But since she has brought out the Ice Phoenix Ninth Form, this match should be ending pretty soon." Elsa's father, Tony Menzel, said with a quiet voice.
There were few lucky encounters in this world. Whether one was able to find and grasp the opportunity or not, it would depend on his or her fate. Elsa was clearly not meant to be an ordinary girl. The incident a year ago was actually a fateful event which brought Elsa to her lucky encounter.
After finding their youngest daughter was on the brink of death, Elsa's parents decided to use one of their clan most precious treasures, a drop of True Ice Phoenix's blood!
Originally, they only hoped that the blood would be able to stimulate Elsa's recovery ability and healed her injured heart. Surprisingly, the blood created a miracle and formed a rare 'Frozen Heart', or what Elsa called 'Ice Heart'.
Unlike Erza, that drop of Ice Phoenix's blood perfectly mixed in and combined with Elsa's original blood. Slowly but surely, it changed her genes and every inches of her body. It was truly unbelievable that beast blood could mix perfectly with human blood. It might be one in a billion chance.
At first, Elsa's body was not used to the change, so she often felt weak and sleepy during her class. However, as time passed by, Elsa quickly improved by leaps and bounds. She silently broke through to the Knight Realm and was still improving every passing seconds.
The change in Elsa's aura was incomparably huge. An ice-cold pressure enveloped Erza's body and soul. It was so heavy that it was like a bone-piercing ice mountain, which had been frozen for ten thousand years.
"Hu…aaaah!!"
Erza roared loudly. The Phoenix flames on her body began to burn wildly, as scarlet red flames rose to a few meters in height, allowing her to break through the ice-cold pressure.
The ice cold wind and searing wind constantly collided against each other, emitting out constant tearing shrieks. Bathed in flames, Erza's hair flew wildly, and her clothes fluttered. Her gaze was as sharp as lightning, and her two hands held onto her sword. She slowly pointed it to the front.
Coupled with her straight standing posture, she looked as though she was a towering mountain that overlooked the entire world. Even though she was facing Elsa, whose aura had surged, she did not have the slightest fear, instead she was eager to fight her best friend in her peak form.
Just her imposing manner and boldness, was enough to unconsciously cause everyone to have a feeling of being forced into submission. It was the air of an empress!
Just by their imposing manners alone, what people saw in Ling Men was a grandmaster whom would be worshipped by many people in the future, Elsa as a fairy who had descended from a surreal world, and Erza… as an earth-shaking supreme ruler!
And at this moment, a cold light flashed in Erza's eyes, and the rock beneath her legs suddenly burst apart...
Following the violent stir in the air, Erza struck out. The Heavenly Flame Sword slashed out a gigantic red crescent, which pushed out layers of air ripples, and blasted towards Elsa, whose aura was unbelievably breathtaking.
However, when facing Erza's attack this time, Elsa did not choose to retreat. Gently reaching out her right hand, her palm looked as though it had turned into glistening white jade, causing people to not be able to believe that it was a palm of a young girl. And with that small movement of hers, Ice Phoenix Ribbon shot out as fast as lightning. Like the kiss of from the god of death, it struck directly onto Heavenly Flame Sword.
*Boom!!*
Like an explosive roar caused by lightning, the rocks beneath Erza's feet were instantly pulverized into dust, and they were sent flying towards the sky by the wild torrents of profound energy. Within the surrounding ice crystals and blazing light, Erza was instantly sent flying back. Her back dragged across the stage for dozens of meters, before she finally stabbed her Heavenly Flame Sword into the ground, and stopped her body.
Elsa's body simply swayed gently, and even the starry ice essences surrounding her did not have any hint of being disarrayed.
This was the first time in this Year End Tournament that Erza was in a disadvantageous position after a direct clash with her divine sword!
"Why don't you try to take my strike again…"
With her powerful defence, even though she lost in that exchange, she basically did not suffer any injuries. Erza leapt off the ground, and with a loud roar, she rose high in the air. Heavenly Flame Sword, which was enveloped with Phoenix Flames once again struck down, and the strength of the airwaves that had been raised were even larger than earlier.
"Phoenix's Fury!!"
The majesty of this imposing sword strike, even made the audience who were far away feel as though an entire mountain was crashing down on Elsa. However, just when Heavenly Flame Sword was about to make contact with Elsa, Erza's body suddenly jerked, and her movements instantly slowed down.
Streams of cold air, as though they were devastating and all-pervasive metal needles, pierced through the Phoenix flames, and struck onto the surface of Erza's body and her meridians, causing her entire body to feel a moment of numbness. Even though these streams of cold air had already been expelled by the Phoenix flames in the next instant, just that single moment, was enough to cause fatal damage.
*Bang!!!*
Before Heavenly Flame Sword could land completely, the Ice Phoenix Ribbon had already flown out like an intelligent snake, and swept against Erza's waist with a thump, causing her to let out a low groan. Within the whirling storm, she was swept dozens of meters up high towards the sky.
"Haah. The difference is too big. There's already no need to continue watching this duel. Even with ten Erzas, it would not be possible to defeat Elsa."
"Elsa's performance is very shocking. It's not that Erza is weak, rather, Elsa is simply too frightening and heaven-defying. I really wonder how she could improve this much within this short one year."
Seeing that Erza's second active strike had still resulted to a terrible defeat, and that the Elsa in front of her still did not move a single inch, the surrounding audience let out a wave of sighs. It was truly unexpected that Elsa was this strong.
And just at this moment, defying common sense, Erza who was supposed to have completely lost all balance after being sent flying up towards the sky by the Ice Phoenix Ribbon, was descending towards Elsa.
'Lightning Dance of the Phoenix Wing!!'
A human, when sent flying by a strong force, had nowhere to apply force from, and it was almost impossible for her to bring about any force. To maintain one's balance was already an extremely difficult task itself, yet Erza actually initiated an attack while her balance was completely lost… And the speed she was descending at was extremely quick.
In a mere instant, she had already charged right in front of Elsa, and heavily smashed onto Elsa's body, who was completely unprepared. Behind her, a pair of Phoenix wings formed out of flames was searing mightily. In addition, there were sparks of black lightning surrounded it.
*BOOM!!*
This unexpected attack finally shattered Elsa's ice crystal defences, blasting her far away. Erza tumbled backwards from the rebound. Before waiting for her body to stand firmly, Heavenly Phoenix Sword had already begun to release gigantic shadows of blaze one after another as it was swung about...
'Lesser Purgatory!!'
Phoenix-shaped flames which carried the tyranny of a divine sword continuously flew towards Elsa one after another. Elsa, who had yet to maintain her balance after being struck away by her Lightning Dance of the Phoenix Wing, was engulfed in the concentrated blasts of Lesser Purgatory. The blazing light that rose explosively from the chaos completely drowned Elsa within...
However, these blazing rays of light did not last for long, and were suddenly extinguished completely by a flashing blue light within them. After the blue light, a gigantic ice crystal phoenix flew out aggressively, shattering the Lesser Purgatory. Then, with an undiminished might, it struck heavily onto Erza's chest.
"Pff..."
Erza spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and was sent flying thirty meters back. The Phoenix flames on her body were extinguished at the same time, and the clothes covering her chest had been completely torn, replaced by a thick layer of ice. And beneath the layer of ice, was an ice-sealed wound which did not have the time to burst out.
"Erghh…"
Erza rolled over, and with the support of her heavy sword, she stood up expressionlessly, a streak of blood slowly flowed out from the corner of her lips… In front of her, Elsa's face was snow-white, her eyes were like blue crystals, and her dress gently fluttered… Forget about injuries, there was not even a single speck of dust on her entire body.
Erza could be like the current Elsa, perfectly assimilated with True Phoenix blood. However, she had a stronger and purer bloodline, and it refused the beast bloodline. At this moment, the problem was Erza could not display her true demonic power in front of the audiences, while Elsa could!
