Frost Providence

The Behemoth was a division class monster with a very difficult defense and a fiery breath that could kill any Silhouette Knight instantly in one attack.

"Hahaha! I have been looking forward to fighting you ever since!" Stella shouted. Frost quickly spread around the wound and crystalized, Stella swung her sword out, causing a much deeper wound to the behemoth.

The behemoth roared as it shook its body to rid Stella off its back. She got off and spoke. "You're one feisty beast, aren't you! You're full of vitality!"

"Stella?" Everyone muttered out in confusion, her voice was the very same, the silhouette knight was the very same, but why did she seem so off with the personality? Not so far from that of a battle junkie.

She rushed towards the behemoths left front leg and slashed at it vertically, the sword easily cutting through its tough hide. The Behemoth roared in pain as it tried to stomp Stella.

"Hahaha!" Stella let out a laugh as she slashed again. The wounds began to crystalize and harden into bloody silver ice. Stella attacked the wounds as they easily shatter.

Another Silhouette Knight appeared; it was colored red. It slashed down on the ice on the Behemoth's back and broke the ice, easily tearing off a chunk of its back.

"Woah! I thought its hide was tough, how did you manage to cut through, sister!" Ernesti shouted as he got off the behemoth's back and so did Stella, "Well, My silhouette knight's unique ability, [Frost Providence]."

"I could cut anything, and the wounds would crystalize and harden with ice! In other words, I am a complete counter to anything biological!" Stella explained with a crazed tone.

"Hahaha! And if you could say. This… this demon beast hasn't died yet; its massive vitality allows me to fight with me all and still not break it apart!" Stella spoke as Ernesti shivered.

"I am one thing, but you're battle junkie attitude is too much." Ernesti commented. "What can I say, I only enjoy battle!" Stella shouted as she ran towards the behemoth.

The behemoth opened its mouth. "Stella! Be careful!" Edgar shouted But Stella ignored it and charged straight ahead. The behemoth fired out as Stella muttered something.

"{Frost Nova}." Ice burst out as she swung her sword down, chilling air travelled forth that even when they were inside a silhouette knight, they could feel the cold.

Ice and fire collided as the ice melted and evaporated, exploding to such a degree that it blew everyone. The behemoth included. "Hahaha! Show me more!"

Stella shouted at the Behemoth while standing up. She ran and jumped into the air. As she fell, she spun around to increase her momentum as she suddenly slashed out her sword at the behemoth's back.

The behemoths back exploded with the vivid image of silver ice, reflecting the moon's face. Stella ducked as she avoided a swing of a tail and slashed at it in quick succession, crystalizing it and breaking it.

It was such a mesmerizing fight. No Silhouette Knight could fight like this, at least not yet. This level of movement, this superb swordsmanship, the supreme magic.

None of them present could possibly hope to match those. The pilot of such Silhouette knight herself was an amazing person, a monster-like prodigy if one were to say.

It was sure to assume that she would bring the world to another era, another timeline where they could hope to be overall, stronger than they could ever be.

Stella ran towards its legs as she skidded on the ground in abrupt action to avoid a stomp. She slashes at the leg, and put a cut on it, Stella exerted more mana from her infinite mana reserve and powered the mech.

The mech's strength was multiplied by fifteen as she cut through half of the behemoth's leg. The behemoth roared in pain as it fell it opened its mouth at Stella, but she quickly jumped at it and stabbed her sword in its throat.

The Behemoth tried to close its snout but before it could, Stella held her left hand up and held the sword with her right hand, muttering some words, "Frost Providence."

Ice spurts forth from the wound and covered its throat with Ice, the ice kept expanding as it quickly pierced through the back and side of the behemoth, impaling it from the inside.

As it could no longer roar, it slowly shivered from the cold its dying body was experiencing, other spikes of ice exited its body as a thick layer of frost slowly covered it.

The layer of frost grew into a thick sheet of Ice over its body. The sheer cold that radiated from the ice would freeze someone if they were to touch it.

Mist flew up from the solid square block of ice, it was heat escaping the frozen prison that promised death to anyone inflicted by it. "Eternal Hoarfrost."

Stella muttered as her mech collapsed, down. "Ah, fuck. I forgot to change core states before going over the 20% limit of power output!" Stella shouted. Worried, the others approached her.

Dietrich's Silhouette Knight, which Ernesti constantly modified and hijacked, approached Stella. "Hey, sis, don't swear!" Ernesti spoke as he made Fraxinus be in sitting position.

Dietrich's silhouette knight also had fought with Stella, but she hadn't noticed, well, the mech is now wrecked and can't move because it was out of mana. Right after that had happened.

Let's rewind time, yes, there it is, on top of the behemoth, breaking the ice to indirectly cut off chunks of the behemoth's back. It got wrecked right after though.

Stella cursed to herself silently at her habit of forgetting thing when in combat. Fraxinus's core finally whirred to life again as the Silhouette knight creakily stood up.

Stella took a glimpse at the crowd of Silhouette Knights standing before her. She Brandished her sword and stabbed it into the ground as she changed into her second core state.

*Flicker*

An army of Silhouette knights carrying large battering rams marched as fast as they could towards the area where gigantic explosions of epic proportions.

A scout headed for the head of the formation where the commander was. "Two student practice units have been rescued. The remaining 6 is still in combat." The scout reported.

A massive explosion exploded as the shock waves from the far epicenter hit them making their footing unsteady. Everyone looked towards the origin of the explosion and found the back of the behemoth clearly.

"Behemoth spotted, all units! Spread evenly and move forward towards the behemoth!" the commander spoke as he behemoth suddenly roared, and a silver Silhouette Knight Flew to the sky

It spun around and slashed at the back of the Behemoth, creating a deep wound that exploded with ice. "What? Since when could silhouette knights have such ability, such movements like that?!"

The commander was baffled by such a stunning display. They approached the fight and stood there rooted in the ground. How could such a fight happen?

How could a silhouette knight be capable of doing that? To pierce wounds into a Behemoth and spike ice from its wounds. When did a Silhouette knight of this caliber come to be?

Who was the sword saint fighting behind the mask of a silver knight? It was such a mesmerizing fight. No Silhouette Knight could fight like this, at least not yet. This level of movement, this superb swordsmanship, the supreme magic.

None of them present could possibly hope to match those. The pilot of such Silhouette knight herself was an amazing person, a monster-like prodigy if one were to say if they were capable of such feats.

It was sure to assume that she would bring the world to another era, another timeline where they could hope to be overall, stronger than they could ever be.

*Flicker*

Standing before the army of guardian Knights from Jantunen, after the Behemoth that she had slain; enclosed in an eternal hoarfrost, forever to be there.

Stella stabbed the ground with her sword and held the handle. "Tonight, I have slain a division class demon beast: Behemoth. This Eternal Hoarfrost shall be the testament of the feat I have achieved."

Stella uprooted her sword and carved some things on the Ice: The date in which she killed the beast, her full name, Ernesti's full name, Edgar's full name, Helvi's full name.

"The people who gave their all to kill this demon." And on another side, she carved in the name of those who had died to fighting the Behemoth to prevent it from getting to the capital.

"And to those heroes who had given their life to stop the beast." Stella spoke as she turned around to face the group of Silhouette Knights. "To those who are present, let us be a witness to this day."

"Due to our effort to defeat this demon beast, we had stopped it from approaching the capital and endanger our precious citizen we desperately want to protect."

Daylight had dawned upon the horizon as light filtered through the crystal-like translucent cube of ice and shadowed the silver silhouette knight standing after the Behemoth encased in ice.

The first one to snap out of the trance was the commander, he started ordering the other soldiers to prepare and find it there are any survivors from the wall, it was their next priority.

Edgar, and other students who had escaped due to Stella and Ernesti's interference in the battle with the behemoth stood in front of Dietrich's Silhouette knight.

"Forgive me, Dietrich. I thought you ran away, but I was wrong. You died to save us." Edgar pledged his hand on his hand and spoke. Stella approached the mech and knocked on the hatch.

"Oi, Ernesti, you should get out anytime now." Stella spoke as Edgar reprimanded her. "Hey, what are you doing? Respect the de…" Edgar spoke but was cut off by the hatch abruptly opening.

Ernesti and Dietrich got shot out of the hatch as Stella caught Ernesti, while evading Dietrich. Edgar's words got stuck in his throat as Ernesti spoke. "Man, I thought I was a goner."

Stella let go of Ernesti as he stood up and massaged his head, looking at Edgar and the others. "What's wrong, everyone?" Ernesti asked. "They thought you were dead along with Dietrich." Stella answered with a tired sigh.

*Flicker*

Back at the city, Addy was shaking Ernesti's shoulder . "See? I told you he stole a Silhouette Knight and fought with the Behemoth." Addy spoke.

"If anything, I feel sorry for Dietrich." Edgar let out a sigh as he spoke. "Hey, Ernie, if you couldn't get on that silhouette knight, what would you have done?" Stephania asked.

"I think I would have gone with you guys." Ernesti answered. "And what about you, Stella?" Stephania asked again. "I was going anyways, I used Ernesti as an excuse I guess?" She responded.

"Anyways, looking back then. Everything was just a huge gamble." Ernesti shook his head. "I guess both of you were aware of that." Kid commented.

"From now on, I need a mech that can move according to how I want it to." Ernesti added as his eyes sparkled. "One that's going to be as awesome as Stella's!"

Everyone let out a surprised gasp as Stella just backed away and rested her head on Stephania's breasts, melting at the feeling. "You're still on that nonsense?" Addy asked.

"I'm just getting started. I'm going to make a silhouette knight of my own!" Ernesti spoke. "Just wait till you see him create a new unit." Stella spoke as she buried her head deeper into Stephania's chest.

*Flicker*

"Twelve-years-old?" A regal voice resounded. "Children defeated a division class demon beast?" The voice asked again. "Yes, Sir!" the commander responded with certainty.

"Reporting this would bring down the Knight's morale, so we've kept it a secret." The commander added. "Stellaria & Ernesti Echevalier. Lauri's grandchildren, perhaps?" the king guessed. "Indeed."

The king got off his throne. "A power that is too great can bring destruction. It is a dangerous thing." He spoke. "I suppose I must meet these children to test them."
