BXBX NOVEL Chapter 190 - Revenge Is Better Served Cold
-----
Noah, Iris, Jon, Adamantine, Arthur, and Timassa glared at Clementina confront her past from the sides, through the window, and while floating.
"Noah, is it fine to not help her?" asked Arthur a bit concerned that Clementina might go berserk out of anger and quickly lose her cool.
"It is fine. She personally requested me to deal with all of them, even after she knew that they had just reached B-Rank a few hours ago… She is, after all, A-Rank. If she goes all out, she should be able to crush them all to death," said Noah.
"What about her father?" asked Timassa.
"Her father will be left alive. He will become a Dhampir and join our guild after she deals with her stepsisters and their mothers…" said Noah.
"Sounds good, is her father aware of this?" asked Jon.
"No, it shouldn\'t. I left a soundproof barrier there, and hypnotized him into sleep, he should be sleeping now…" said Noah.
"Well, let\'s watch the show for now!" said Iris.
"Indeed, let\'s see how much she has progressed…" said Noah, as his eyes gleamed with crimson red light.
Meanwhile, inside the hall filled with ice, Clementina showed her Ice Aura to everyone present, scaring them almost to death.
The power she had… it wasn\'t B-Rank…
It was A-Rank!
Agatha and Guinevere were trembling in fear, Clementina went from a tiny and pathetic whore they despised to an intimidating demon who glared at them from above with scorn.
"This… can\'t be possible…" said Guinevere.
"No… No…! Clementina… You! You are A-Rank!?" asked Agatha.
Clementina, however, ignored them.
"Ice Soul Armor…" she said, as a sudden armor covered her entire body, her very Icy Soul transformed into an armor themed as her Soul Beast, like a beautiful and slim unicorn made of ice, proud and tremendously intimidating.
A long horn made of ice grew in her forehead over her helmet, and her armor covered her limbs, chest, and more.
Her hands grew long and sharp icy claws, as a long rapier made of this ice appeared as well…
"Mother… Today, I will avenge you…" she said to herself, closing her eyes as she remembered her mother, her smile, her gentleness, her love, her tender, and warm care.
After her death, Clementina\'s heart completely froze.
But now, it was not frozen, not at all.
It was burning with wrath.
Her eyes gleamed with crimson light, as the armored knightess enhanced her entire body with mana!
Guinevere and Agatha grew more and more fearful until they roared in anger and unleashed their attacks towards her!
An enormous tornado of slicing emerald winds and hundreds of metallic strands flew towards her, seeking to pierce and slash her body into pieces!
"I don\'t care if you pretend to be an A-Rank with that intimidating aura, there\'s no way you had become so strong in so little time!" roared Guinevere.
"Yeah…! Do you think you can trick us like that?! Haha! DIE!" laughed Agatha.
Clementina suddenly closed her eyes.
"Ballad of the Cool Fountain…"
Clementina combined her Ice Magic with all her offensive Skills, alongside her own unique technique which she had created, as a sudden surge of icy winds emerged around her… it was as if she was a goddess of ice!
Suddenly, she began to spin with her rapier, rushing towards Agatha and Guinevere, and destroying the golden threads with utmost ease, slicing them into pieces. Meanwhile, the spinning slicing emerald greens began to dissipate by Clementina\'s sheer strength, as she created a flow of icy winds of her own, which easily overpowered Agatha\'s.
Clementina reached Agatha and Guinevere but didn\'t kill them, even though she could have.
Instead, countless slashes, very tiny slashes, showered over their bodies, easily getting through their magic equipment.
Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash! Slash!
The two women felt a searing pain take over their very minds, as they screamed in agony, which was music for Clementina\'s ears.
"Nnnngggh… Nnngggrrryaaaaaahhhh…!"
"Nnnnngggaaaggghh…!"
"MOTHER!"
"MOM!"
Julia and Anna screamed over their mother\'s suffering, as they saw their wounds leak ice, which quickly froze as it fell off their fresh wounds.
Clementina glared at the two as they fell over the icy floor pathetically.
"So these are B-Rank… I guess leaving my humanity aside was for the best. Being a human is so pathetic… filled with weaknesses… Rats… I want to crush you so badly…" sighed Clementina, glaring at the two trembling women as tears began to come out of their eyes.
"P-Please…! Clementina, we are sorry!"
"W-We didn\'t kill your mother! There were monsters there!"
"We swear!"
"…Do you believe I am a foolish kid? That you can fool me anymore? I am no more the Clementina you knew. I heard you loud and clear as you laughed about how you… did these horrors to her. Your tears are empty, and you are empty…" said Clementina.
"THEN GO FUCK YOURSELF!" roared Agatha, as she unleashed an enormous tornado of slicing winds that she was preparing, hitting Clementina directly with it!
BOOOOOM!
Agatha smiled eerily as she expected to at least have damaged Clementina a bit…
But instead…
"Eh?"
Slash!
The smoke of the explosion was quickly dissipated by a wave of Clementina\'s Ice Rapier.
She revealed herself to be completely fine.
"Did you think I would have let you do that to me without knowing it wouldn\'t affect me?" she said, as she cleaned the blood that stained her blade.
A second after, Agatha felt a horrible pain in her left arm, as a fountain of blood exploded out of it, alongside her entire left arm, which fell over the floor, quickly freezing away.
"Nnngh…! Hyyyyaaaaaaaaahhhh!"
Agatha screamed in agony as she tried to stop the enormous fountain of blood coming out of her wound, while Guinevere glared at Clementina in shock.
Indeed, she was not the same as before…
Julia and Anna had tried to run away by their mother\'s wishes, but they were easily stopped by the icy walls all around the room.
"It\'s hopeless… Clementina, please… Don\'t kill our daughters…" cried Guinevere.
"Kill us… but not them…!" groaned Agatha.
"W-We killed your mother, but they are innocent!" said Guinevere.
"I\'m glad you admit it…" said Clementina, as she walked near the two trembling girls, glaring at them with her cold eyes, it was as if for her, they were insignificant, nothing at all.
"But it wouldn\'t be good if you don\'t get the suffer the same pain I did…" she said, grabbing Julia from the air, and carrying her as if she were an animal.
Whatever attack that Julia used was completely useless against Clementina\'s armor, and she began to scream in agony as she was being carried by her hair.
"L-Let me goooo! Moooommm! LET ME GOOO!" she screamed.
Guinevere\'s eyes began to pop out of her sockets as she screamed in desperation.
"LET HER GOOOOOOO!"
All of her golden threads flew out of her body as they reached Clementina, but with a single slash of her Ice Rapier, they were all slashed into pieces, and Guinevere was covered in a thin layer of ice once more.
"Experience the same pain as I did," said Clementina, as she moved her rapier towards the crying Julia, and slowly sliced her neck, blood dripping off it slowly.
The girl began to convulse as she struggled to live, her eyes becoming completely bloodshot, as she cried and glared at her mother\'s spirit break into pieces.
"Nnngghooghh… Nnaagghh… M-Mom… Gggoghgeeggh…"
"JULIAAAAAAAAAA!"
Clementina smiled, as she dropped the corpse of Julia into the ground.
"That\'s right. You finally get it, don\'t you? My pain…" said Clementina.
