The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

Then he was kicked hard in the chest again.

It rolled several times on the ice before stopping.

"Huh...huh..."

Ice Princess lay on the ice, struggling to sit up, trying to see the enemy's face clearly.

However, before she could even lift her incredibly heavy head...

Isabel, the confidante of the Archbishop of Destruction, had already appeared in front of the Snow Princess.

Isabel crossed her arms, raised her foot to step on the Ice Princess's head, and looked down at the Ice Princess.

"How could the mighty Ice Princess become as docile as a ball?"

Isabel smiled.

He then said, "If you release the Demon King of Destruction, I'll release you, okay?"

"impossible......"

Even with her head pressed against the ice, Ice Princess's voice remained clear, cold, and resolute.

"Oh."

Isabel withdrew her foot with a cold smile.

He then kicked Ice Princess again and took out several spell cards, pointing them at her.

Ice Princess felt her consciousness spinning again, and she was sent flying.

However, as soon as she landed on the ground, her whole body was enveloped in a cloud of poisonous mist.

The poisonous fog was not a flame, yet it burned as if it were.

Ice Princess was surrounded by that terrifying poisonous mist, which enveloped her as if she were being burned by raging fire!

"Ahhh...!"

Ice Princess screamed pitifully, her body writhing desperately on the ice.

The toxin even easily corroded the ice and snow, turning them a deep purple!

Ice Princess diligently circulated her magic to purify the toxins within herself.

However, just as she was recovering from the poisoning, she was enveloped by a black light.

This time, she seemed to be surrounded by pain, which brought her, who was already suffering greatly, to the brink of collapse.

Ice Princess collapsed to the ground, unable to stand up.

Her face was covered with a terrible scar, and even the shape of her left eye was no longer recognizable.

After several attacks by Isabel, Ice Princess was almost crippled and completely lost her ability to fight.

He was merely clinging to his last breath.

Even so, she still gripped the chained staff tightly.

The oppressive force emanating from the Demon King of Destruction did not dissipate.

Isabel came over again.

Then, he stomped on Ice Princess's stomach with tremendous force, causing her to vomit a mouthful of blood mixed with poison.

A series of cracking sounds came from around the Ice Princess.

The Ice Princess, who was already at her limit, suddenly felt as if her whole body was about to shatter.

"Quickly release the suppression on the Demon King of Destruction."

Isabel sneered, twisting the foot she was stepping on Ice Princess, her eyes filled with mockery as she spoke.

"Do not......"

Ice Princess's voice was as faint as a dream.

It seemed as if it could disappear at any moment.

But his tone still held that unyielding stubbornness.

"Then I'll kill you first, please dispel this."

"I'd rather die than..."

"Hahahaha!"

Upon hearing Ice Princess's response, Isabel finally couldn't help but laugh with delight.

It was as if she had been suppressing her emotions for too long and had finally found the joy that could liberate her heart.

Isabel crouched down, cupped the Ice Princess's chin, and said with a mocking tone:

"Don't worry, after I enslave you, I'll make you watch as the city of Tristine is slaughtered by His Holiness the Bishop's [Destroyer of Destruction]..."

"They'll even order you to personally kill everyone at Tristan Magic Academy, one by one!"

"This is a gift for you, my future slave girl."

As Isabel spoke, she took out the [True Word Blood Pact] and waved it in front of Ice Princess.

"Waaah..."

Ice Princess strained to open her right eye, examining the effect of this epic spell card.

When she received the test results, her lips began to tremble.

His pupils, which had been somewhat unfocused, suddenly contracted sharply due to fear.

"No, no!!"

Ice Princess's trembling voice could no longer contain her sobs.

She seemed intent on committing suicide to end her life.

However, before she could even make a move...

Isabel used another spell card to paralyze the Ice Princess's senses.

Ice Princess became completely unable to move.

Isabel chuckled and said:

"By the way, did you think an eighth-tier expert would come to your rescue? Think about why Lord Evans didn't come to deal with you personally?"

"..."

Something seemed to have finally been extinguished completely in Ice Princess's already dim pupils.

The moment she heard Isabel's words, Ice Princess understood.

The reason why Bishop Evans of Ruin did not come is simple—

He went to hold off other potential eighth-tier powerhouses who might come to their aid.

If Ice Princess wants to stall until she receives eighth-tier assistance, it will likely take several times longer than the worst-case scenario she anticipated.

And now.

In addition to the arrival of an eighth-tier powerhouse.

No one can salvage this situation that is on the verge of collapse.

It's already a complete dead end.

"Hahaha! Your expression is just amazing. If the mission weren't so important, I could look at it forever without getting tired of it."

Isabel lightly tapped the card face of [True Word Blood Pact].

They cast a spell to enslave the Ice Princess, who had lost her ability to fight.

A barrier shrouded in crimson twilight unfolded.

A crimson light curtain instantly enveloped Isabel and Ice Princess.

Three black crosses of different shapes appeared in the air above the two people.

These three crosses clearly correspond to three questions—

Real name, race, gender.

Real name: Artemis.

Isabel smiled and read out the real name of the Snow Princess.

The cross in the sky remained motionless.

It seems that the process requires the three crosses to indicate the correctness of the answer only after the spell's caster has completed all responses.

In order to obtain the final contractual outcome.

Race: Half-elf.

Upon hearing this, the last glimmer of hope in Ice Princess's heart was shattered.

The other party even found out her real name, so her race and gender were naturally no surprise.

She had absolutely no chance to fight back.

"Who can..."

Ice Princess sobbed; she hadn't cried for over a hundred years.

All she can do now is pray to the gods.

If anyone.

Can you help her...?

Even the devil is acceptable.

Isabel was quite pleased to see the Snow Princess praying so pitifully.

Even his voice became more cheerful, and he shouted:

"gender......"

However, before Isabel could finish her third sentence, her voice abruptly stopped.
