Chapter 171: The Ice Phoenix

The Peace Gathering's building had been tightly surrounded by various races, all on a strict duty.

When Leon was a few meters away from interacting with a few guild members from his guild, a huge commotion unfurled inside the building. Vast mana spilled outside, sending away people on guard.

Feeling a familiar mana, Leon narrowed his eyes.

"Seems like my thoughts are becoming a reality. I hope I'm wrong about a life divinity concept." Leon spat and sped up to shrink the distance with the building, desperately wanting to peek inside.

His women were so focused that they didn't comment on his aloud thoughts.

If Leon was right, then a new space divinity holder was inside the room.

And he surely caused more chaos than they were expecting.

The whole gathering had been split.

One group stood behind a space divinity holder — Adam.

Another group had Winterborn King, Madam Jasmin, and a few other individuals glowering at Adam and other people that had betrayed them.historical

"Here you are.. Wow, you're more beautiful than I thought." Adam had brought Snow Demoness here, so she was obviously closer to the former group.

She clenched her hands, unable to fight against the space concept. Frozen before the divine-human, Snow Demoness slowly crafted a plan to free herself while waiting for his next moves.

Adam tilted his head and smiled. "You're fated to be mine. It's not like I'll abuse you or treat you wrongly.. I want to have a good relationship with my queen. Come with me. I'm sure you'll come to like me soon."

Even though he had said those words amiably, Adam had a quite possessive glitter in his eyes, which said more than enough — he wouldn't let this woman go, even if she refused him!

At that moment, Snow Demoness channeled her mana and connected it with the blue necklace on her neck. She reminisced about the person that had given her that piece and how it had changed her life.

First, she had received that necklace from her fiancée, which triggered nice memories. Her chest swelled with warmth for a second, only to remember the next events. She died and received a second chance.

That second chance was too hard to grasp, as her fiancee's parents hadn't received it. But in the end, Snow Demoness chucked herself to another world. In a foreign place, she became close to humans and started a new life, in which she decided to level up and use her unusual body to help others.

She had been helping people back on Earth, and it seemed like she wanted to continue that trend.

Of course, in another world, and with her unique physique, Snow Demoness could best help people by fighting monsters and acquiring rare resources. Fighting alone was also kinda dangerous, and she wanted friends to soothe her heart of loneliness.

But in the middle of the building that friendship, Snow Demoness found out that she was never alone.

She wanted to change her life because of that. Alas, that wasn't what her new friends wanted, and soon, they revealed their true colors, taking away Snow Demoness' only happiness.

They also wanted to take her life. But before that could happen, the blue necklace — the only gift she had from her previous world — shone bright with an immense coldness, saving her life.

That coldness guided her to Winterborn's Lands. Even better, The Queen took notice of it, finding a wounded human.

[I don't want to be a human!]

Humans of another world were different from Earth's.

Snow Demoness wished to become different. She didn't care what race she'd become; she didn't want to be a human.

[I can fulfill your wish. But you must pay the price for that. This blue necklace on your neck — it's a lost treasure of our people.]

[Never! Leon gave it to me! I'll never take it off!]

As though the item was sentient, the blue necklace released a blue wave, freezing The Winterborn Queen.

[Seems like The Ice Phoenix has chosen you. I shall respect his wish and take you in as my daughter.]

And from that day, the two girls interacted with themselves on a daily basis, soon becoming like a mother-daughter combo.

Snow Demoness also learned about the unique necklace that somehow broke through the space — as though her fiancée really wanted to fetch something good for her — and how to use it.

She was now ready to unleash The Ice Phoenix's power and turn into the phoenix herself, for she had a body that could host and evolve into that legendary beast — she had a body second only to the peak humanity body!

Pah!

A crack spread on the blue necklace's bead.

An unimaginable amount of mana poured outside, blanketing the lovely curves of Snow Demoness. She instantly evolved, spreading vast blue wings behind her back. Her eyes became slits, and she glowered at Adam!

"I'll face you head-on, then. You appear as a tough girl that needs a lot of spanking." Adam licked his lips and balled his hands.

He signaled his people to start a battle with others, creating a scene where only he and Snow Demoness could be.

Snow Demoness also had enough means to create her own environment to assist her. A tornado of cold wind shot up to the skies, tearing apart a hole in the ceiling. She froze everything around her while her stats kept going up and up, matching grand figures behind her and slowly stretching to match Adam's stats.

Adam bent the space and closed up the distance, then he threw a punch.

"Oh."

He broke Snow Demoness' ice statute.

Broken ice shards pelted at him. At the same time, Snow Demoness descended from above him at such a high speed that her whole form was like a beam.

Her foot sank into a small space gap, which laughed back at her attempt to wound Adam.

Snow Demoness yanked back her foot and spun, sending another fast attack at the divine man. In the corner of her eyes, she saw that her shards had done considerable damage to him, inferring that Adam couldn't properly cover himself from many skills at once.

Her swinging arms conjured many ice elements — in the forms of shards, icicles, and even small hail-like balls — and she hurled them all at him, not forgetting to attack him.

"You found out about my weakness too fast!" Adam smiled as though proud of her and took the brunt of all her attacks with his divine body.

He then looked up and crossed his arms, not paying any attention to blood streaking down his limbs. "I'll keep you in one place now."

Space behind Snow Demoness cracked, expanding like a jaw of a monster. It was wide enough to swallow her, though its purpose was to attach a gravity-like force onto Snow Demoness and suck her inside instead.

That utterly stopped Snow Demoness and all her coldness.

Before her eyes, all the cold wind started rushing straight into the hole in space!

Adam ambled to her side, then extended his hand, grasping her throat. "Do you like it rough?"

He squeezed her throat.

Snow Demoness didn't let out any sound, though it hurt her a lot.

She half closed her eyes, glaring at the man.
