Magical Girl in the Superhero World

Keep a small one by your side, feed it more soul fragments, and then reintroduce it into a Calamity Witch, thus completing the witch transformation after resurrection. That should be fine.

However, just when everyone thought victory would belong to Frost and Snow, Hell quietly removed the Yama Heavenly Seal.

The endless slashing stopped.

"Are we finally going to give up...?"

Frost looked at Hell, trying to see wavering and fear on her face.

However, she only saw Hell's lips twitch slightly as he uttered a word that was unfamiliar to everyone.

"Open the stove!"

In the vast white snowfield, a dark red flame was instantly ignited in Miss Hell's hand.

At this moment, Fumo Yuchuzi's slash had already shredded everything in sight—the park trees, the ground, and the buildings—into powder.

The magical powder, slightly frozen by the magic of frost and snow, filled the entire area.

The moment they saw that flame, Lin Xiaohong and her two companions, along with the members of Frost and the Witch's Guild, all froze in place.

"That's...fire?!"

"What's going on? Isn't the magic formula for Little Hell supposed to be 'Dissolve' and 'Eight'? She said that herself in the interview."

"No, that power isn't completely different; it's more like the second flame characteristic of the same magical formula!"

"How is that possible?! What's the connection between these two things?"

Seeing the surprised and uncertain look in Frost and Snow's eyes, Miss Hell raised her hands, letting the ball of flame dance, burn, and boil between her palms...!

"I told you so, didn't I?"

Her gaze, illuminated by the flames, appeared exceptionally indifferent.

"You are the challenger."

—"The stove is lit!"

This is the full name of the chef's fire technique, and also its true power, which is known as the "Flame of Ten Thousand Deaths" killing move.

The ordinary "Stove Open" has a long wind-up and is slow, so it can only exploit an information gap and may not be able to compete with Frost's super-level magic "Eternal Freeze".

Therefore, when Hell expands its domain by establishing constraints, it can only unleash a fire attack once at a time.

In return, during the expansion of the domain, all pulverized matter within the domain can possess the same explosive magical power as the "stove".

It's like dispersing and injecting one's immense magical power, in the form of a "stove," into every grain of dust.

At the same time, the existence of the magic curtain ensures that the dust will only remain in a closed space with a radius of only two hundred meters.

All of this turned this space, filled with explosive dust, into a pressure cooker that was constantly accumulating pressure.

Hell only needs to be "opened" to ignite it completely...!

Flames surged and swirled in the young lady's hands, transforming into flaming arrows that slowly aimed at the immobile frost and snow.

Frost Snow's expression was completely filled with astonishment: "How is this possible? How could you have a second magic spell...?"

That's when she realized it.

From the moment Hell retreated to the edge, it didn't really matter what she was going to do.

Since then, her indiscriminate attacks on the locations of the three, except for the Red Sparrow, have never stopped.

She had planned to use this tactic from the very beginning!

"You...so you're the one who killed Jin Yu!"

At this point, Frost and Snow had no choice but to forcibly activate the super-level magic, disregarding the fact that the last circle of the magic circle had not yet been completed.

Hell lowered his eyes and spoke softly:

"open--!"

call out!

The arrow, trailing flames, ignited the explosive dust that filled the entire magical curtain the moment it was released.

Frost and Snow's transcendent magic were released at the same time.

"BOOM—!!"

The explosion, with its extremely high temperature and pressure, was tightly compressed within a magical curtain with a radius of only two hundred meters.

This is a direct confrontation between a blizzard that can freeze everything and a flame of death that devours everything.

Lin Xiaohong held Wuhua and Chenxing tightly in her arms, using all her strength to raise a magical shield to block the flames and explosions.

However, the "Stove Open" technique, which was unleashed through the expansion of the domain, had far exceeded the upper limit of the attacks that Lin Xiaohong could withstand.

Just when she was about to give up.

Hell appeared beside them without their noticing, raising a single hand to block the flames and extreme heat of the explosion.

She even had time to raise her hand and gently tuck her long gray hair behind her ear.

Even at such a time, she still maintained the elegance of a young lady.

Lin Xiaohong, Wuhua, and Bai Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look up at Hell Senior's long hair and skirt dancing wildly in the flames.

On the girl's fair and delicate face, one could only see her complete control over the situation, as well as her confidence and composure.

"So handsome..." Bai Xiaoxiao murmured to herself.

Although it's hard to describe the feeling this scene evoked, every time Miss Hell appeared, she brought Lin Xiaohong and the other two an absolute sense of security.

And at the very moment the Flame of Ten Thousand Deaths erupted.

The simple barrier of frost and snow shattered like glass.

Her vision blurred in the blinding white light. She couldn't even struggle, let alone resist. She could only feel her consciousness gradually dissipating.

"..."

In a daze, she saw her mother.

"Mother....?"

Why are you here?

Frost and snow knelt on the ground, their expressions blank, and gently reached out their hands toward the warm white light.

That year, Frost and Snow's mother gave birth to her in the slums of Free City.

As an immigrant with a prior drug conviction, her family was extremely poor.

Her mother had a terrible temper, was always arguing with the neighbors, and would bring men home every now and then.

But Shuangxue knew that her mother loved her.

Because whenever her mother managed to snag expired whole-wheat bread and limp fruit at the relief station, she would always let her eat them first.

Only when he couldn't bear it any longer would he spend money to buy some "things" to prick his arms until they were riddled with holes, and afterwards he would hug Shuangxue, crying and apologizing:

"I'm sorry, Xiaoxue, Mommy is so sorry. Mommy took the money and bought that again...!"

The still-young Frost and Snow would gently comfort the other at this time:

"It's okay, Mom, there's still bread to eat, isn't there? I love bread the most."

It tastes awful.

Frost and snow retorted in their hearts.

The bread that gets sent to the relief station is all whole wheat bread that can't be sold on the shelves and is already half-expired, with a rough and sour taste.

But it must be admitted that, at least at that time, Shuangxue felt very happy and no different from other children.

Until one day, her mother came home from the Chinese restaurant where she worked, and hugged her while crying, saying, "I'm sorry... Xiaoxue."

"Forgive me."

Mom took out a slice of small cake and fed it to Shuangxue herself. It tasted very sweet.

Each person took a bite, and they ate it all up.

Soon, Shuangxue's stomach hurt so badly that she couldn't stand up.

Her mother had already started foaming at the mouth.

Before he died, the other person gripped her hand tightly and said in anguish:

"Do you know, Xiaoxue...?"

"In this world, only the upper class who wield power can survive."

"In my next life, I want to be someone with both power and strength, not a piece of trash like me..."

Frost and snow curled up painfully beside the other, unable to utter a single word.

Cheap pesticide was put in the cake; she's going to die, dying alongside her mother.

Suddenly, darkness fell, and frost and snow could no longer be seen.

What is your wish?

A gentle voice sounded in my ear.
