Chapter 107

Shiromoru POV

"Ri-right... I'm sorry..."

"WE LITERALLY NEARLY GOT SMASHED BY THAT THING, HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU SO CALM-"

My fingertips trailed up her lips, frost created from it and shut her up. "Stop yelling, you'll get the attention of those two. We don't want that." She's so rowdy.

"Throw me towards the demon."

"Are you kidding me?! Any bad move with the air around us and you'll get cut!" Raijin rejected my proposal, the ice that melted from her lips fell on my face. When I caught a glimpse of that, I solidified the ice and reflected irritation from my gaze. Ew. Disgusting. At least fully evaporate that, that liquid came from your bothersome mouth. It might spread your rambunctious scent.

"May I remind you that I can create a glazier just from the palm of my hand. What are a few blades to a concrete defense?" I raised an eyebrow and scoffed, my body raised while she panicked because of such an action.

"U-uhm... And what should we do next...?"

"Defend Prince Raijin from the sharp air and projectiles that may come towards us during this. As for me, the moment I grab her out of cage, use your light magic to whip me and get out of here as soon as possible." Raijin finally took her hands off me, the tips of my feet created an ice platform from Yasachu's light ones. I stumbled from the wind and the moisture of the gloss below me, but I made chunks of it crawl up my knees. That didn't stop the air from making me bend backwards, my legs stuck on the platform.

"O-oh my god are you okay?!" Yasachu grabbed my hand and lifted me to straighten my back. Forehead nailed to her's, the heat from her cheeks was enough to melt my heart. "I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to-"

"Stop flirting! We have a queen to save!" And that jealous brat once again blocks us.

"Lame."

"Don't call me lame!"

Yasachu leaned back to get away from such a close proximity with my body, gaze lowered towards the unconscious queen and used her bangs to cover that bloom in her expression.

"Here I go." I elevated my shoulders when I took a low inhale, body pointed at the demon and made an ice rail from my soles. A thin layer of ice crystals were made around my body while I sped towards the orange light, being chapped from the sharp air around me but recovers almost immediately.

I landed on the head of the demon, the scalp turned into frost as I needed to have solid ground lest I will fly from the sheer intensity of the air. A spear headed my way, with a glare I snapped my wrist to redirect it. The blade landed on Ajisa, the shadows parted in its wake since it was light magic. The fragile body of the queen had not been scratched.

Right after that, a body was plunged to the chest of the unmoved ogre. A laser of lava bursted on the opposite direction, overwhelming the masked villain with the heat.

Pft, she's getting destroyed by senpai.

"When did you come back?"

Just now, what happened to you when I was gone? How did you stop making me see things?

"It's useless to ask questions." I shook my head and narrowed my eyes down at the head of the ogre.

Kill it.

"I was planning to." I rolled my eyes, hands slapped together and the ice on the ground expanded to the neck of the demon.

"Hey! What the fuck?! What are you doing?!" That voice grated my ears and I ignored it, then continued to focus on the frigidity on the nape of the ogre. "I want you to shoot a strong heat blast over at the back of the neck, I want to kill him."

"Aren't you the one who told me to not be reckless since we are here to get her?!"

"Yes. That is true, I will get her, but right after we will kill this demon." I crouched to take out the light spear stuck in the monster's skin, reeled it above my head and slashed the binds that held her down. The goo started to wrap themselves around her again, so I grabbed the collar of her dress and dragged her away from there.

"What do we do if the ogre fights back?!" Raijin yelled, gaze set on me. "It won't. If it could, it already would have. Despite being able to cancel magic, it didn't do so unless commanded by that plastic villainess. Further proof it's mindless."

My head turned towards the masked girl that changed the lava into her own shadows, but clothing and mask melted from the initial impact. She swung it around herself and countered the lava laser that had been relentless towards her.

"She's so distracted."

You would be too if you somehow fought the woman that's called the hope of humanity.

"I don't get how she's so great." I mumbled while a pair of earth hands sprouted out of the ground and slapped the plastic villain that was in between its palms, flames bursted out of control when it did.

Are you blind?

"Magic isn't everything, she's nothing more than a mage that doesn't even want to do her job unless the people she likes are in danger. It's biased." I rolled my eyes, light magic snapped around my waist and pulled me out while I held the queen.

"How is she still asleep?"

Might be a sleeping spell.

"I thought that to be the case." I landed on one of the platforms that Yasachu made, the feet of Ajisa I lowered and trapped her there. "Raijin, do as I told you. Dear, create a large blade and slice through the neck right after that."

I commanded them while I raised my hand and gestured towards the ogre. The prince beside me dripped in sweat, my love turned when I called her dear. "Are you kiddin me?!" "O-of course I'll do that Shiromoru!"

Raijin had no choice but to follow my words, with a bang concentrated heat came out of her palms and aimed towards the neck of the ogre. And as I expected, it didn't move out of the way and took the hit with full force. "Do it now."

And Yasachu heeded my call, a blade appeared in thin air in front of her. She gestured in the air as if she was using a nonexistent bow, and reeled in the blade. It flew towards the ogre complete with it being sliced like butter. Because no matter how tough one thing is, when its temperature is suddenly changed, it would be so brittle and shatter like glass.

"Good enough."

"Shit, why isn't Shu back?"

"Sh-she might just be lost around in this hurricane."

Raijin has a point, Shukona's first instinct will be to look for us. While there are vines all around, it's not her's.

"She is such a submissive noble." Who raised her that way? It's annoying how she acts like a dignitary yet then pants like a dog when it comes to you people.

Don't talk to her that way.

"I'm just pointing it out, you're too scared to see it."

"Got...Damn it fuck...Where is Emica...? That damn demon ain't doing shit..." From the crook of my hearing, I heard a whine.

"Oh that's why."

"Hu-huh? Did you figure something out, Shiromoru?"

"Next plan, we look for that maid and Shukona. That knight is going to be looking for her princess, the mage clearly will win this fight, so all we need now is to have that villainess to be safe." I waved to Yasachu to make the platform go in one direction.

Sparks came from the distance, a dome of electricity was around a certain someone.

Lightning magic?

"Light magic. Those gloves are the same as that plastic villainess, so she has the abilities to wield the same thing as she does. Yasachu, over there." We hovered over her, a surge of panic washed over me when that giantess had fainted. But before I could speak, of course some idiot spoke up first,

"What the FUCK did you do to Shu?!" Raijin's flames burst, fingers formed into a gun and pointed at the maid. While I personally do not care about her, that alien is. I was about to scold her as well, but a cry came from Emica. She knelt down, bawled out to me with a blood curdling scream. The loop of sparks around her turned off, our gaze cleared.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! My vile and sin...I know you can't forgive me easily, I'm willing to burn if it means just please give me mercy."

Emica...I don't understand why she did that, Shukona doesn't look hurt at all despite her being fainted. Her cheeks... Shukona slapped her. I don't know what to say.

"Prince Raijin, burn her."

"Wh-..."

"You heard what I said, burn her face. Give her a scar. You're that mad, right?" My eyes were set on the prince that had sweat all over her palms. "Why are you hesitating?"

"Because... She was still... A childhood friend and-"

"You are all fools. Yasachu, drop me." My feet landed on the ground, ice it's wake. I slid towards her, grabbed her chin and lifted it up. "Are you willing to do anything?"

"Yes..."

Shiromoru! What are you doing-

"What you all are too afraid to do. To understand those filthy betrayers..." Frost from my fingertips spread to her right cheeks and down to her collarbone. Frostbite crawled immediately, "Meru, you know what to do."

Y-yes... I'll take her vision away... But why did you do that?! Shiro, please! We don't need something like this right now-

The skin turned into white before I flicked my hand back to my side along with that skin. "That they are dirtier than a commoner's boots." Blood spread to my face and to the Shukona below us. Multiple wails came from that action.

It was humorous how she had kept her posture and kept her knees on the ground. She really does regret it, hmm.

"SHIROMORU WHAT THE FUCK?!" "Amazing... You ripped off her skin like it was nothing..."

"You're a low thing, remember that. I don't care if you'd get an infection from the wind, or if you bleed out, but you figure out how to survive on your own. You are no longer my maid, or will you ever be. Put her down. We will never see each other nor speak about this, Leave." I spat into her flesh wound that had been pulsating, tears burned on her cheek and she stood up, bowed down, and fled.

"What in the hell were you thinking?!" Raijin jumped off her platform and grabbed my shoulders, grip tight. "She's going to be disfigured for life, not to mention there is no way she can afford healing now that's fired-"

"That's the point. I don't care about what you feel about it, but understand that she backstabbed us. She's lucky it was only skin and not a limb, especially her neck."

Nika really was right... She's cold, but you're cruel.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! I know you aren't Nika and shit, but that's over the damn line!"

"Call me that all you wish, but it doesn't remove the point that I wasn't being biased and only acted accordingly. As a future queen, kindness in spies is a weakness. You need to learn that too, Raijin." I faced her fully, gaze stationary on her melted blue eyes. This prince really is just here to play around, all bark and no bite, it's annoying how I have to marry her.

"That's... Damn it." Raijin backed off, a growl escaped her lips.

"Now, we need to focus on this villainess, if you'd stop crying."
