Her hands clasped together, tightly gripping the fairy card depicting the Frost Spirit!
"Frost Spirit!"
"Seal Released - Spirit Fusion!!!"
Buzz—!!!
The fairy card instantly erupted with blinding, ice-blue light!
A vast, pure, extreme cold, as if from the very end of the northern ice fields, surged into Cana's body like a breaching glacial torrent!
"Ugh ah ah ah—!!!"
Cana let out a pained groan!
Her body trembled violently!
A thick layer of frost instantly condensed on her skin, and her eyebrows and eyelashes were covered in white frost!
Her blood seemed to freeze in an instant!
The bone-chilling cold nearly suffocated her!
But at the same time!
Her eyes suddenly lit up with an ice-blue glow!
An incomparably powerful ice magic surged and roared within her body!
Her long hair moved without wind, its tips stained with an ice-blue hue!
The surrounding temperature plummeted!
Centered on her, the ground rapidly froze, covered with a thick layer of solid ice, spreading outwards!
The water vapor in the air instantly condensed into tiny ice crystals, falling like snowflakes!
"Roar—!!!" The Blackened Flamingo seemed to sense a great threat, letting out an uneasy shriek!
It suddenly opened its massive maw!
"Dark Flame - World-Searing Inferno!"
A pillar of pitch-black flame, thicker, more condensed, and radiating an aura of utter destruction than before, slammed towards Cana, who was in the midst of fusion, like a spear of annihilation!
However!
Just as the pillar of flame was about to strike Cana!
Cana suddenly opened her ice-blue eyes!
Her gaze was cold and sharp, like ten-thousand-year-old ice!
She didn't even raise her hand!
With just a thought!
"Absolute Zero - Ice Crystal Wall!"
Boom!
A colossal wall, over three meters thick, composed entirely of the purest, sapphire-like ice, instantly rose from the ground before her!
The wall's surface was smooth as a mirror, emanating an absolute low temperature that could freeze the soul!
The pitch-black pillar of flame slammed into the Ice Crystal Wall!
There was no explosion!
No melting!
Only an extremely dull thud!
The pillar of flame seemed to have struck an ancient, unmoving glacier!
The terrifying low temperature instantly froze and solidified the churning flames!
The front end of the pillar of flame was actually frozen solid into a massive ice pillar, still burning with black fire!
The Ice Crystal Wall remained unmoving! Not even a single crack appeared!
"What?!" For the first time, a look of incredulous shock appeared in the Blackened Flamingo's crimson pupils!
Its flames... were actually... frozen?!
But this... was only the beginning!
Cana felt the surging ice power within her, almost tearing her apart, and she knew that the power of the Frost Spirit alone was not enough to completely suppress this fierce bird, empowered by darkness!
She needed... stronger power!
More violent power!
"It's not enough..." Cana's voice trembled slightly, but was incredibly firm!
She suddenly released her clasped hands, allowing the Frost Spirit fairy card to transform into points of ice-blue light and merge into her body.
Then, without hesitation, she once again gripped another fairy card—the fairy card depicting the Storm Banshee!
"fairy card - In My Name!" Cana's voice suddenly rose, carrying a near-mad determination!
"Storm Banshee!"
"Seal Released - Spirit Fusion!!!"
Buzz—!!!
This time, a dazzling cyan-white light erupted!
A violent, raging hurricane force, as if capable of tearing the sky apart, surged into Cana's body like a wild horse unleashed!
"Ah ah ah—!!!"
An even more intense pain than before instantly swept through her entire body!
The power of ice and the power of the storm clashed violently, tearing at her within!
Her body felt as if it would be completely ripped apart by the two vastly different, wild energies!
On her skin, one half was covered in thick frost, while the other half was cut with fine bloody marks by violent wind blades!
Her blood almost solidified in the dual torment of freezing and cutting!
One of her eyes was ice-blue like ten-thousand-year-old ice, while the other glowed with a cyan-white, storm-vortex-like sharp light!
Her long hair was half ice-blue, and the other half was caught by an invisible hurricane, flying wildly!
Centered on her, an extremely bizarre domain formed!
To her left was absolute zero, freezing all things, with the ground covered in thick, solid ice!
To her right was a raging hurricane, tearing everything apart, with the ground deeply scarred by wind blades!
The powers of ice and wind collided and merged wildly within her!
An unprecedented terrifying aura, a mixture of extreme low temperature and tearing storm, erupted like an awakened ancient beast!
Boom—!!!
A powerful energy storm suddenly spread out from Cana!
Instantly dispersing and freezing the remaining dark flames and smoke around her!
"Roar aow—!!!" The Blackened Flamingo let out a terrified shriek!
It sensed a fatal threat!
It was a terrifying power capable of completely tearing, freezing, and annihilating it!
Its wings flapped wildly, trying to create distance!
"Trying to escape now? Too late!" Cana's voice became cold and ethereal, as if mixed with the howl of the cold wind and the collision of ice crystals!
She slowly raised her right hand!
Ice-blue cold air swirled in her right palm!
She slowly raised her left hand!
Cyan-white wind blades swirled in her left palm!
"Everwinter... Storm!"
Cana suddenly pushed her hands forward!
Buzz—!!!
The ice-blue cold current and the cyan-white hurricane instantly merged before her!
Forming a terrifying torrent of energy, over five meters in diameter, filled with countless rapidly rotating ice crystal storms and tearing wind blades!
Wherever the torrent passed!
Space itself seemed to be frozen and torn!
The ground was ploughed into a bottomless trench, its sides covered with a thick layer of ice, the surface of which was covered with marks from wind blade cuts!
The torrent's speed was as fast as lightning!
Instantly crossing hundreds of meters!
Completely engulfing the Blackened Flamingo, which was trying to escape!
"Screech—!!!!!"
The Flamingo let out an extremely mournful wail!
The dark flames on its body were frozen by absolute zero the moment they touched the storm torrent!
Its hard, pitch-black skeleton, under the cutting of countless rapidly rotating ice crystal storms and tearing wind blades, harder than diamonds, emitted a grating "crunch crunch" sound of shattering!
Freezing! Cutting! Crushing! Annihilation!
Inside the storm torrent, a destructive meat grinder seemed to have formed!
The Flamingo's massive body was violently torn apart like fragile paper!
Its pitch-black skeleton broke and shattered inch by inch!
Its crimson phantom eyes instantly dimmed and extinguished!
Viscous dark energy was frozen into ice shards, then ground into powder by the wind blades!
In just a few breaths!
The Blackened Flamingo, radiating an aura of endless destruction... completely vanished!
Leaving no remains!
Only scattered ashes, shimmering with faint ice crystal light and black dust, drifting through the air!
The storm torrent slowly subsided.
Cana stood in place, the power of frost and hurricane around her slowly retracting.
Her heterochromatic eyes, a mix of ice-blue and cyan-white, also returned to their normal brown, though a trace of the chill and storm's afterglow remained deep within her gaze.
Her face was as pale as paper, and her body swayed slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.
Continuously fusing two powerful elemental spirits placed a huge burden on her body and spirit, and her magic power was almost completely drained.
She looked at the spot where the Flamingo had disappeared, where only scattered ice crystal dust remained.
"Hoo... hoo..." Cana gasped violently, sweat soaking her back, then condensing into ice beads under the lingering cold on her body.
She knew that EZ's Summoned Beast possessed the characteristic of immortality; after being killed, it would re-condense and revive within the summoning space.
Therefore, she had held nothing back just now, directly using her strongest fusion technique to completely annihilate it.
"For now... one is dealt with..." Cana wiped away a trace of blood that had overflowed from the corner of her mouth due to the backlash of power, her eyes weary but still sharp.
She looked up towards the depths of the canyon, where her companions were still fighting, and EZ was waiting.
"EZ... wait for me... we... will definitely bring you back!"
She took a deep breath, suppressing the weakness in her body and the fatigue in her soul, and drew several magic-restoring fairy cards from her waist pouch, beginning to quickly replenish her depleted power.
Golden light circulated around her, repairing her damaged meridians and spirit.
After a brief rest, Cana's gaze once again became resolute.
She oriented herself, sensing the lingering fluctuations of Max's gold sand magic in the air, and without hesitation, she took off, speeding towards the top lane of the canyon!
The mid-lane battlefield temporarily fell silent.
Only the bottomless trench on the ground, the thick layer of ice covering it, and the ice crystal dust that had not yet completely dispersed in the air, silently told the tale of the breathtaking ultimate duel of ice and fire, wind and darkness that had just occurred.
And at the edge of this frozen and wind-eroded battlefield, a tiny, imperceptible speck of dark energy, like a spark, was very slowly... re-condensing... in the shadows beneath the ice layer.
