BAMN: Chapter 174/175

Chapter 174: Jealous Frey

"An existence like you!"

"To actually stoop so low as to become someone's subordinate?!"

Goodness, the opportunity and qualifications to break through to a True Demon Lord, which she had desperately sought but could not obtain.

Not only did Snow Empress have the talent that seemed to be spoon-fed by heaven.

She also completely disregarded it, abandoning it.

Yes, abandoning it!

Once a monster chooses to follow someone else, it is impossible for them to awaken as a True Demon Lord.

Unless Rin was kind enough to give Snow Empress pure soul energy, otherwise, her life, even if she reached its end, would be over.

Snow Empress was willing to be subservient to someone else. If this wasn't called self-degradation, then what was?

"What a waste!"

"You fool! What on earth do you consider your talent to be?!"

Frey rarely envied anyone, but now, she was truly incredibly envious of Snow Empress.

'What beautiful power...'

The magnificence of Great Nature was deeply etched in Frey's mind. 'How powerful would this force be if it could fully bloom?'

She could even imagine the limit of the King of Nature, transforming the entire Cardinal World, or even the entire universe, into her own territory.

The future of this Ultimate Skill was to be the Lord who governs the world.

But such an excellent potential stock.

Unexpectedly, she was a love-struck fool!

'Voice of the World!'

Frey asked a soul-searching question. 'Are you truly blind?!'

"Incomprehensible."

Snow Empress knew what Frey meant, but she didn't understand the true value of herself, a spirit of nature beloved by Soul Land.

And besides, was Snow Empress truly a Soul Beast?

Rin felt that Snow Empress was actually an innate spirit.

In terms of attributes, because she was born in the Northern Icefield, she exhibited ice-type powers.

However, looking at the manifestation of Great Nature, Snow Empress's attributes were no longer limited to mere ice and snow.

No, to be precise, it should be that Snow Empress had recovered the power that originally belonged to her.

She was not ice-type, but all-attribute.

Anything that existed in the natural world, she could create and control.

"Gulp~"

Standing in environments of different seasons, the Tengu were stunned speechless by the three confronting individuals.

That terrifying magicule presence.

Any one of them, just by standing there, was enough to make their souls tremble.

And now, there were three of them.

And each one was more abnormal than the last.

This made the Tengu Clan wonder where their elders had managed to invite such powerful foreign aid.

To be able to suppress the legendary Sky Queen Frey to such an extent.

"Step back, be careful not to get caught in the aftermath."

Kaede, Hakurou, and Momiji, the three of them, followed Rin's instructions and positioned themselves in a triangle.

They protected the Tengu, who were also encompassed by the Bounded Field of Great Nature, and at the same time, got a better view of the upcoming great battle.

"As expected of Snow Empress-sama."

Hakurou stroked his beard while communicating with Kaede telepathically. "Although I already knew that she had deep expertise in the development of Unique Skills."

"To witness it now is truly an eye-opener."

"So amazing..."

Kaede's eyesight was not as good as her husband's, but she could see Snow Empress's power.

The other party was an existence she could not compare to.

With Kaede and Momiji's aptitude, even if they could raise their magicules to a million in the future, it would be almost impossible for them to obtain an Ultimate Skill.

In contrast, if Snow Empress had not met Rin, but had descended upon the Cardinal World alone.

Her future would not have been much worse than Guy's.

Ogerpon held up two multicolored Terastallization sticks and cheered for Snow Empress along with Ice Empress.

"Cough!"

"???"

"Hey, give me one too."

Ogerpon blinked, giving Rin a look that said, 'I understand.'

Rin awkwardly accepted the Terastal Stick Ogerpon handed him, and also gave two to Snow Empress.

Of course, Rin didn't forget Artoria. While cheering for Snow Empress, he also shouted encouragement for her.

"That guy…"

Since everyone was inside the Bounded Field, Frey could naturally sense what was happening with Rin.

The Sky Queen's mouth twitched slightly, wishing she could tear that scoundrel Rin to pieces.

He really treated her like a monkey.

"This move is quite impressive, a bit like Iskandar's King's Army."

Artoria surveyed her surroundings. She could smell the scent of flowers in the air.

Clearly, everything here was real, not an illusion.

"Mm."

Snow Empress said, "It was precisely from him that I got the inspiration."

"As expected of you."

After joining Rin's command, Snow Empress was the only one capable of directly confronting Artoria.

Ogerpon didn't count, her approach was too wild.

Artoria was almost overturned by Ogerpon.

Snow Empress was better.

Their exchanges allowed Artoria to gain much, and she had become completely proficient in the use of various skills.

"Want to try?"

"Is that alright?"

Artoria was eager to try, and Snow Empress nodded, saying, "Just help me test the stability of this barrier."

Because it was her first time fighting within Great Nature, Snow Empress planned to have Artoria be the main attacker, while she provided support from the rear.

Similarly, Snow Empress also wanted Artoria to show off a bit in front of Rin.

She was a newcomer.

Just arriving, she needed to let everyone see her value.

There was no other way, the pressure from Shuna was too great.

Since Ice Empress couldn't be relied upon, Snow Empress could only go herself.

It was a good opportunity to call upon Artoria, who was also a Dependent from another world, to share some of Rin's firepower.

However, at this moment, Artoria was still unaware of a certain love-struck individual's sinister intentions.

She was now immensely looking forward to the upcoming battle.

"Then I won't be polite."

Taking a step forward, Artoria held her holy sword upright in front of her.

She released the Invisible Air on her holy sword.

Frey's control over wind elements was superior to Artoria's.

Against her, such a small trick was useless, it was better to be direct.

(To be continued.)

Chapter 175: Holy Spirit Incarnation

"Crack!"

Opposite Artoria, Frey snapped a spatial prism that had grown from the air, transforming it into a long spear held in her hand.

At the same time, the Sky Queen's wings behind her radiated a sacred white light, then flowed as if alive.

Frey had already seen Snow Empress's threat.

But this strange female swordswoman named Artoria gave Frey no less pressure than Snow Empress.

'One after another, where does he find such subordinates?'

Frey envied Rin. She didn't have such luck to encounter excellent talents like Snow Empress and Artoria.

"Here I come, Sky Queen!"

Artoria ignored Frey's distraction. She gave a reminder, then prepared to launch her attack.

"Hmph!"

Frey snorted, not paying too much attention.

She was serious now and wouldn't be caught off guard by Artoria's storm of slashes like before.

"Who do you think I am?"

"I am…"

Before she finished speaking, Frey felt a chill rush towards her face!

"What?!"

A light blue haori came into view, a black scarf tied around her neck fluttering in the wind, and a golden-haired girl wielding a katana pierced through the air like a phantom, appearing before Frey.

"Clang!!!"

Frey swung her spatial spear, hastily blocking what could have been a killing blow.

Even so, Frey was still shocked and utterly surprised by this suddenly appearing girl.

When did she appear, and from where?!

The speed of this sword strike was so fast that even Frey almost failed to react.

"Transformation?"

"Or an illusion?"

Unfortunately, Frey clearly had no time to think.

Because after the first strike, the second, and an even more terrifying third strike, followed in quick succession.

"First step, swifter than sound. Second step, infinite suffering. Third step, the absolute sword!!"

"Mumyou, Sandanzuki!! (Lightless, Three-Stage Thrust)!"

Three flashes of a blade descended, and Frey only felt a large number of white feathers fall from her wings.

She successfully blocked the opponent's attack.

But the tearing pain faintly coming from her wings told her that she did not block these three strikes without cost!

The defense of her feathers, harder than the world's most robust alloy, was breached.

Her wings were injured.

"Damn it!"

Frey angrily manipulated space magic, and countless spatial blades tore apart the girl in the light blue haori.

But!

The girl hit by the attack rippled like water, like a phantom, and vanished into thin air right before Frey's eyes.

"This?!"

Frey wanted to say that it was an illusion, a trick.

But the power of those three strikes just now was fresh in her memory. 'That force, the feeling of colliding with my spear, was definitely not fake!'

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

While she was thinking, two more figures appeared before Frey.

These were two girls who looked almost identical to Artoria.

One white, one black, with two knight swords flanking her from left and right.

"They appeared again!"

Frey moved quickly. She blocked the black sword with one hand, while simultaneously raising her leg, transforming into a bird's claw to block the other white sword.

"Where did you two come from?"

The girl holding the black sword had her eyes obscured, black armor covered in blood-red patterns, and her entire body was filled with an evil aura.

In contrast, the pure white girl on the other side wore white armor like a dress, revealing her twin swords, and the knight sword in her hand emitted a sacred light.

It was hard to imagine that the same face could display such two extremes.

"Did you block it?"

"Then, what about this?"

The two girls had no intention of chatting with Frey.

They combined their strength, striking at Frey, but she anticipated them and leaped backward, soaring into the air.

"Naive!"

"Opportunity!"

The Black Knight's demonic sword and the White Knight's holy sword each unleashed black-red and golden-blue light.

"Not good!!"

Realizing what they intended to do, Frey immediately crossed her hands in front of her, while also spreading her wings to envelop herself.

"Caliburn!!"

"Excalibur Morgan!!"

One black-red, one golden-blue, two pillars of magical light surged like a torrent, as if to devour everything.

[Sky Ruler · Mirror Space]

Frey's wings glowed with flowing light, becoming as smooth as mirrors.

The combined magic cannon merely paused for an instant upon hitting them, then refracted like a mirror, surging towards a distant tall mountain.

Mountains crumbled, one, two, three...

Then!

"Boom!!!"

A massive mushroom cloud rose from the distant land.

The power displayed by the fused magic cannons was not only powerful in terms of destructive force, but also a qualitative change in magic.

Within it, there was the principle of Explosion Magic that Artoria had obtained from Rin.

Thus, the already incredibly destructive magic cannon now became a super-nuclear level spell.

It was fortunate that this was Snow Empress's Bounded Field.

If it were outside, countless innocent lives would have died under this single attack.

"So, so powerful…"

"What terrifying destructive power!"

The tengu, as spectators, were stunned by the power of this magic cannon.

Although A-rank monsters could unleash attacks capable of shaking mountains.

But shaking mountains was too far off compared to the world-destroying scene before their eyes.

"Is this the aid Elder Kaede invited for us?"

"I heard she's a relative of Benimaru."

"So strong, too strong!"

"To be able to ally with such a powerful individual, I agree to this marriage!"

"…"

Amateurs watch the excitement, professionals watch the technique.

Snow Empress roughly compared her strength with Artoria's.

Then she came to a conclusion, she couldn't win!

"I feel like she's completely out of my league!"

Snow Empress truly understood what it meant for the tables to turn.

In the Type-Moon World, Snow Empress saw Artoria as weak as a dog.

Now, Artoria could abuse her like a dog.

"The Cardinal World is visibly biased, huh."

Artoria's initial magicules of 100,000 was far beyond what Snow Empress could even touch.

"Go, Artoria~"

Unlike Snow Empress, whose thoughts were racing, Ogerpon happily cheered Artoria on.
