Chapter 338 : Cold Abyss
Candel drove with full force, those tender little fists seeming about to hit the Eight-Tailed Fox's chest!
Just 30 centimeters more, and Candel could get her revenge, could properly get her hands on those white slimes!
But just then...
"I will... not lose. Ice Crystal Summon!!!"
A fierce look appeared in the Eight-Tailed Fox's eyes. It was clear she was also ready to use her trump card.
Immediately, a substantial ice crystal condensed in her palm, but the target of that ice crystal wasn't the nearby Candel, but...
Her own body.
Solid ice immediately covered the Eight-Tailed Fox's skin, and Candel's fist also hit the ice crystal, striking out countless flying ice shards!
"Wuu?!"
Although Candel's body was abnormally stronger than ordinary people, those ice shards contained quite a few sharp ice cones, forcing Candel to retreat to protect herself.
And the Eight-Tailed Fox also quickly withdrew and retreated, putting distance between her and Candel.
The first round of combat was essentially a draw between both sides.
The Eight-Tailed Fox and Candel stared at each other, seeming quite surprised by each other's reactions.
But just then, Elucia clapped her hands and said: "Alright, alright... Both the Eight-Tailed Fox and little vampire's performances were good. Now you can stop."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
"Elucia, the competition between me and Candel isn't over yet."
The Eight-Tailed Fox looked like she hadn't had enough of fighting, but...
"Hmph, what's the point of continuing to fight? The Cold Abyss Temple has already opened... Or rather, you're welcome to keep fighting, but I'm going in with little fox."
"How is that possible?!"
The Eight-Tailed Fox and Candel widened their eyes, only now realizing that unknowingly, the Cold Abyss door had opened. A peaceful snow country lay behind the door, as if quietly waiting for the girls to enter.
"This-this kind of thing... why?"
The Eight-Tailed Fox's tails had perked up in surprise. She never expected that after desperately trying to open the Cold Abyss door earlier with no success, it had now opened by itself.
Was it because she accidentally touched it during the battle?
Or did the Cold Abyss approve of her performance?
Just as the Eight-Tailed Fox was puzzled, Elucia took the little fox's wrist and had already walked in front of her: "Hmph hmph, Eight-Tailed Fox, when you first knocked on the door, what you were thinking about was getting revenge on Caster, right?"
"Uh...?"
"So you wanted to become stronger. It didn't matter even if you experienced pain... But have you thought that such thinking goes against your original intentions?"
"!"
"The Rainbow Abysses open in different ways, but they absolutely won't open the door to progress for those who have lost themselves."
"Then why could my battle with Candel..."
The Eight-Tailed Fox looked at her palm, her big eyes full of confusion and incomprehension.
And Elucia smiled, as if she understood everything:
"Because you yourself are the best proof of the path you believe in."
"Wh-what?!"
"Undergoing complete modification to enjoy pleasure... Although this method can't demonstrate combat power in most people, at least you yourself succeeded, didn't you?"
"!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the Cold Abyss represents 'eternity and unwavering will.' So your faith spanning a thousand years has actually already gained the Cold Abyss's approval."
"I..."
The Eight-Tailed Fox took a deep breath, only now realizing she had indeed been influenced by Caster.
Especially after seeing that the hospital she had built in the past had now been turned into this state by Caster, her emotions had become somewhat out of control.
The desire to quickly obtain Cold Abyss power, to quickly get revenge on Caster surged up, making the Eight-Tailed Fox lose the most basic judgment.
So...
"Does this mean I won this competition?"
"Mm, I suppose so. So hurry up and lead us to receive the Cold Abyss inheritance."
......
......
Although the girls felt bone-piercing cold outside the temple.
But once they walked inside, Lonis felt very comfortable~
Underfoot were soft snowflakes that felt somewhat cool to the touch, but Lonis didn't feel uncomfortable.
Because although these snowflakes had a relatively low temperature, they didn't seem to be "plundering" heat from the surroundings, but just lay there lazily, weaving a carpet like wool.
Besides that...
Inside the temple, there were also many clear and transparent ice pillars.
They were like fine stalactites, hanging straight down from the dome to the ground... Like the snowy ground, the ice pillars weren't cold either, but rather appeared beautiful like gems.
But what was most eye-catching...
Was still that huge snowball standing in mid-air.
It looked about the same size as the Flame Abyss, and if you looked carefully, you could see many clear and transparent ice crystals under the snow covering.
But Lonis inexplicably thought of coconut cake... Her intuition told this silver-haired girl that the Cold Abyss must be very delicious, and a bite would definitely taste no worse than Flame Abyss grilled beef.
......
And just as the girls were all amazed by the temple.
The Eight-Tailed Fox chuckled and said to Candel and Withered Leaf:
"Haha, I really am the chosen daughter of destiny! Candel, Withered Leaf, seeing the Cold Abyss, do you understand the difference between yourselves and me? You... could never be more suitable than me."
"Uh, what are you talking about?"
Although Candel wasn't interested in the Cold Abyss power, she still frowned.
"Hmph, haven't you noticed yet? What color is the Cold Abyss?"
"White, isn't that obvious?"
"Then what shape is it?"
"Spherical. I say, Eight-Tailed Fox, are you overly excited and becoming a bit like those mental patients?"
After witnessing the composition of the mental hospital, Candel was actually somewhat worried about the Eight-Tailed Fox's mental state.
However...
"Who's a mental patient! Don't you understand yet? White spheres! Big spheres!"
"White spheres, big... wah ah!"
Looking at the Eight-Tailed Fox's protruding chest, Candel finally understood what this guy meant!
So this bastard was still showing off her huge breasts!
(Damn it, what's so great about big breasts? And yours are implants!!!!!)
Just as the little loli was about to jump up in dissatisfaction, the Eight-Tailed Fox smiled happily and touched her palm to the surface of the Cold Abyss snowball.
No cold, no piercing chill,
What transmitted to her palm was only the temperature that had remained constant since a thousand years ago.
"Candel, don't be hasty yet. After I obtain the Cold Abyss power, I'll give you a surprise."
"Surprise...?"
"Mm, isn't it just breast enlargement surgery? I'll help you with it afterward."
"Who wants that!!!!!!!!!"
......
Amid Candel's protests, pale blue light gradually spread from the surface of the Ice Abyss to the entire world.
And Lonis also immersed herself in this world of ice crystals,
Receiving the blessing from the Cold Abyss.
This was the power from the Cold Abyss.
Also the continuation of civilization, that eternal imprint of ceaseless sound.
Imprinted with winter's harsh cold,
Having passed through spring's solitude,
Only then could it become streams in summer, gathering into rivers that block out the sky...
Silent corpses won't be submerged by years, but will bloom incredibly beautiful ice flowers in the new era.
Your unwavering will from beginning to end, and your unchanged original intention, have already been seen by me.
So…
I, representing the ice crystal maiden goddess who symbolizes consistency,
Grant you...
The blessing from the Cold Abyss.
