Chapter 90

*WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH*

Up high in the clouds, the countless strengthened deadly ice spears launch downward, creating a massive rain of razor-sharp Ice Lances. This is the Hero's Hailstorm.

Usually, the normal hail which forms under natural conditions can already destroy houses and kill people. At the size of watermelons and shaped like spheres, a chunk of frozen water of that volume dropping from high above has the potential to crush anyone and anything instantly. And in the case of the Hero's magic spell, they are at least twice that lethal size. Not just that, they are also molded into pikes, making the spell even more potent.

*CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM*

Covering numerous blocks around the area, the freezing spears drop with such a velocity that destroy any kind of surface they get into contact with. Be it the buildings made from concrete, or the fleshy bone and muscle matter of the zombies, the sharp edges from the Ice Lances pierce through every single thing that they can.

Thanks to Yui's early warning when she saw the magic, the twins have already taken shelter underneath a big building. Obviously, it is still a bit dangerous since the concrete and materials above can drop onto their small bodies. However, it is much better than just standing in mid-air and waiting for the spell to drill through them.

With their hands joined together, Yui and Yuno create an invisible barrier with the Space Walk spell above their heads. While hugging each other, the two try to minimize the area as best as they can, saving mana for what is yet to come. Instead of stepping on the platform, they just hide under it. From up high, occasionally the Ice Lances from Hailstorm would shoot down at them like bullets but are then stopped by the invisible barrier. The impact will consume the mana of Yui and Yuno as they try to maintain the spell.

The sounds of ice and concrete hitting each other and breaking themselves open are echoing loudly in the building. Similar to highly corrosive acid rain, everything in the area is destroyed with ease, but on a much bigger scale.

On the outside, zombies are being killed mercilessly. When an Ice Lance falls from the sky that lands exactly on a monster's head, the skull will be shattered and punctured from the top down to the bottom with little to no resistance. And when it hits the ground, a hole with a radius of at least 3 feet will form.

With that, Hero has created such a spell that not even one of the undead can get closer to him, let alone harm him. And the guy has also managed to create the Hailstorm everywhere except for the area he is standing on. He spares no one, not even the legion of women whom he 'protected' at first. On his handsome face is not a trace of sanity. Instead, if one were to be near the Hero to observe, they would see fear, hatred, and wrath. At this moment, he is even more dangerous than a natural disaster.

But that is not all. When he awakened from the stun, he saw two figures running in the sky. If not for the light created from the fire magic spells Yuno used to attack the zombies, he would not have been able to distinguish those people.

Small and delicate in their black frilly dresses with white ribbons near the collar bone, the two are more like little princesses. However, if that was only it, the Hero would not pay much attention. The girls were twins, identical to each other. Furthermore, they had heterochromia. And there was only one case that Hero knew of thanks to Khan before entering the Selection. They were looking for shelter in a building.

Yui and Yuno. Sam's 'friends'.

He needs to get them.

He needs to make them suffer, in front of Sam.

His blue eyes turn into madness, he needs to do this if he wants to keep on living. The pain, the horror that the Goddess made him feel were nothing less than living hell. He must make Her happy.

The body of the Hero trembles as he hugs himself. Just the mere thought of the Goddess terrifies him down to his core.

"That was very close, Yui!" Yuno looks at the surroundings being demolished by the Hero's spell.

Yui looks at the scene with anxiety in her eyes. "It was! That creation spell is very close to a level 7 already. This cunt is really the Apostle. I don't know if we can handle him ourselves, Yuno..."

Now that Yui is by her side, Yuno is not that serious anymore. "Well, what we need to do is to not confront him. Yuno agrees that the Hero may be a little too much for us to take on all by ourselves. But we don't work alone, right?"

"That is true." Yui breathes out deeply. "Once this spell is over, let's head out."

"Yuno agrees. How is your arm? It looks painful!" Yuno looks at Yui's severely injured left arm.

"It is very painful. Yui broke all the bones in the forearm. The hand is still fine, though." Yui frowns.

Hearing that, Yuno is slightly confused. "Why didn't you just break a finger or something small?"

"Because Yui still had to use magic with my hand."

"What about the pinky? Yui didn't need to use it, right?"

"Well, Yui was afraid of not being able to use the whole hand, since the fingers are too closely connected to each other. The forearm was a kind of unneeded at that point, so Yui just went ahead and did it." Yui shows her left hand to Yuno and moves the pinky. Next to it, the other fingers also react to the movement.

"Huh. That makes sense. Ah! Yuno thinks the spell is coming to a close." The older sister notices that the rain is slowing down. "Time to leave, Yui! Let's get our Sound Proof spell up ad running!"

Yui's worries grow larger. She stays silent and does what Yuno says.

On the outside, the Hero is preparing something else.

Pointing towards the sky, he releases three gigantic light orbs. The light immediately illuminates the whole area, including the building where Yui and Yuno are staying, and beyond that by several blocks.

Light Magic: Flare.

Pushing the darkness of the night away, the Hero needs to make sure no one or nothing will disrupt his plan.

He spreads his arms all around, and the air starts to change drastically by the sheer amount of mana alone.

After that, the Ice Lances around him melt into water then spread across the earth. The ground which has been tainted by blood and gore has been washed away nicely, leaving only the small debris.

Strangely enough, the water does not gather into a whole pool or mix with each other but rather forms a ring of liquid. The more mana the Hero put into it, the bigger the ring grows. With haste, it spreads outward with Hero as the center. That ring of water, similar to the light from the Flare spell, quickly gets through Yui and Yuno's position. Even though they are still safe with the Sound Proof spell open, they are completely inside of the water ring.

And finally, when the water has grown enough to the size of tsunamis, it moves upward. The water gathers once more above the Hero and creates a dome entirely from the water.

Then, ...

*Crack crack crack crack*

It turns into ice.

Water and Wind combination.

Water Creation magic: Ice Dome.

Ice Dome as his battlefield, Flares as his lights, the Hero gets ready.

If he captures the two girls, that guy will surely come for him.

This is where they settle it for good.
