The ice walls closed in at a terrifying speed, my space to maneuver shrinking to just a few meters. Through the transparent ice, I could see Yukie's silhouette standing calmly. Perhaps in her mind, this was already over.
But she was wrong.
The moment the wall before me was almost touching the tip of my nose, I channeled all the strength in this body. The stats usually spent on debauchery were now concentrated fully in one fist.
I punched.
BRAAAKKK!
It sounded like shattering giant glass.
The half-meter-thick ice wall exploded into flying, sharp fragments. I shot through the curtain of broken ice, Mindrender already swinging.
Yukie didn't look surprised at all. Her white eyes remained as cold as ice. She raised a hand, trying to create an emergency ice shield between us, but it was too late.
My sword slashed. But what was severed wasn't flesh. Her body shattered into pieces, scattering into fine, powdery ice crystals in the air.
