10 the ice emperor and the devil

Emilia - will they really face each other ...?

Colossus - of course, it has been the tradition for years.

Emilia - but they are not kind of ... Dating?

Colossus - yes, I heard that they are together, but romance should not get in the way of traditions.

Emilia - I see ... So they will really face each other ...

The two face each other for a brief moment, until Merlin takes the initiative. He pulls out his sword and soon all the terrain around them is frozen, everything that the Merlin ice touched had frozen, including May's feet. Merlin is apparently dominating the battle.

However, May draws her sword and when touching the frozen ground, everything in an instant melts with a circle of fire around May.

This gave me a possible clue as to how moonlight works. Would the moonlight be activated when the receptacle comes into contact with the sword?

May - No more games. We will finish this soon.

Merlin - right. Let's go!

The two go after each other, Merlin attacked from above, while May wanted to play with brute force attacking from below. The two attacks collide, the two put so much strength in this attack that the two end up being thrown away, in opposite directions.

May - Hey, are you working out? Haha ..

Merlin - maybe ...!

The two attack again, their attacks started to flow, both were so fast that you could barely see who was attacking or defending. The way the two used their swords against each other was at a level far above mine, they are incredible.

Behold, small rocks of ice appear from magical portals behind the Merlin, they are heading towards May. She then, with a swing of fiery swords, makes all the ice stones disappear.

Merlin soon afterwards created magical portals in the sky as he raised his sword upwards, huge rocks of ice fell from the portals to reach May. Interestingly, May easily dodged the rocks of ice and then a huge red portal emerges from the back of the May, several fireballs come out of the portal, all heading towards Merlin.

Emilia - not that, Merlin!

Colossus - calm down, he'll be fine, trust the boy Merlin.

Merlin falls to the ground and a huge wall of ice grows right in front of him. All the fireballs hit the ice wall, most of the wall falls, but not enough to not protect it.

A huge ice snake comes out from under the rubble of the barrier that merlin created, on top of the snake was Merlin.

May's eyes change to a yellowish color and, in the blink of an eye, a dragon made completely of fire wearing iron armor is created by May. The dragon starts to fly, with the may mounted on it.

While the dragon flew over the field, the snake circled the field with incredible speed for a creature of that size. The two rivals and lovers alike exchange glances. Soon the dragon prepares a fire attack, and the whole field is set on fire.

Merlin - That would be a big problem if I hadn't studied you.

May - what ..?

Merlin - Kōri no tekunikku: Yuki no inpei. (ice technique: snow hiding.)

A huge magical blue portal appears above the field, from which snowflakes fall, at first nothing had happened, but there was something strange about this magic and its effect.

May's dragon's body flame seems to be extinguishing and the field is no longer burning.

Merlin - What did you think of my new technique? This attack of yours has been a problem for me for a long time, you always use this technique and leave me in bad shape, so I needed a technique that would go head-to-head with this technique of yours, so here is the "Snow Hide" !!

May - what kind of technique is this ... ?!

Merlin - They are not just flakes of ice, they are magical flakes with a temperature so low that everything you touch freezes quickly. Your fire dragon will not last long, you better think fast.

May - damn it! ... Okay, let's take care of it.

May's dragon goes on top of merlin and, at the same time, the snake jumps on the dragon's neck, the dragon seemed to have felt that bite. Soon two more heads appear on the dragon and strangle the ice snake.

Merlin - shit ...! Wait, where's May?

May - look up !!

May was falling towards the merlin, her arm was on fire, she intended to solve everything in that punch.

May - Hi no tekunikku: Ken the moyasu. (Fire technique: burning fist.)

As soon as Merlin sees May coming, he quickly activates the normal defense spell. It is the first time that I see the normal defense spell, a huge transparent green shield with a flake symbol, it appears right in front of Merlin.

But that was not able to stop May, Merlin's magic shield is easily broken.

Merlin got punched in the face, that punch was so strong that with just a single blow he should have erased Merlin right there. Merlin's body hit the ground with such force that it made a crater and a huge dust barrier rises because of the impact.

May lands on the floor, she looks exhausted. She was on her knees while her breathing was labored.

May - I won ...!

A rock of ice appears from the ground hitting May in the belly, the impact threw it against the arena wall, creating a hole in the wall. As soon as may opens her eyes, she has another expression, she looked desperate, I don't think she even expected that attack.

She comes out of that hole with her hand on her shoulder.

Merlin advances quickly, he tries to attack using his knee, May defends with both hands, but she is hit in the face and thrown against the wall again.

Merlin uses the sword to drive into the may that he was unable to move as he was practically inside the wall. As soon as the sword gets close to his face, may uses both hands to hold his sword.

Emilia - but what is it? Are they really going to kill themselves ?!

Colossus - sort of yes ... we have specialized doctors to heal serious wounds here at the south base, in case she gets hurt, after the care of the best healers in the country, may be up in a few hours. Our hospital only heals wounds that are open, we are unable to bring body members back, it is impossible.

Emília - even so ... This is cruel.

Colossus - believe me, young lady. They are not struggling with everything.

Emilia - what ?!

May was in a critical situation, all she had to do was ask to give up. However…

Colossus - um ... Young lady, know that may is not a simple girl who plays with swords, she is stubborn.

May's body begins to catch fire.

Emilia - what do you mean…?

May with great difficulty and anger, holds the merlin sword with only one hand.

Colossus - what I mean is that May is special. Never, ever try to compare it with any hunter out there.

May - Aaaaaahhhggg !!!…

May punches Merlin in the face Merlin throwing him away.

Colossus - May is known throughout Japan as the first Moonlight user who can use the techniques without wielding the sword.

A huge flame surrounded May's consumed flames and determination.

Colossus - May is not only known as the "princess of fire" ...

May's eyes shone a yellowish color, the flame around his body was uncontrollable.

Colossus - among some, she is even recognized as the Devil himself.

Emilia - the devil?

Colossus - A being of ancient religions, he kept a kingdom of flames, he condemned all sinners to eternal suffering.

The flame was extinguished, may knelt and breathed with great difficulty.

Merlin - she's worn out ... But what she did ... She's really the devil himself ... and I like that!

Merlin advances again and creates a kind of ice ladder without the steps, he uses it to get momentum, when he reaches the top of that little ladder, he jumps. May uses his fireballs again, but he defends in the air using normal defensive technique.

As soon as his feet touch the ground, he puts an absurd force on the sword to hit May.

May - shit ...!

A huge wall of fire appears in front of may, that flame consumed Merlin.

May - don't worry, this flame doesn't burn, it's just a prison. But ... If I were you, I wouldn't touch it, you could get burned ... - Shit ... This fight tired me out too much ...

It seemed to have given May the victory of that fight, but apparently not, Merlin appears beside her, ready to punch her. May quickly activates the normal defense technique, and Merlin hits the shield.

May looks at Merlin, she looks confident. Merlin's hands were bleeding from the impact of the punch on the shield. May looks at the other Merlin inside the fire prison and sees ice in the shape of a humanoid.

May - was it an ice clone? They are so perfect that I didn't even realize I was a clone ...

The battle ends without a winner.

Just like the colossus said, it was really incredible, the devil against the ice emperor, and that by the colossus' words, they weren't giving it their all.

To be continued…
