Chapter 893 Messenger of a Queen

Sitting in the office with his legs crossed, a dark skinned Demi Human sat with a smile.

He wore a black tuxedo as horns peeked out of his black hair. With silver eyes and a pair of glasses, he glanced up at Yuki who had just arrived in the office.

"Greeting faction master of Winter's Grace." He called out as Yuki nodded.

"I heard from my subordinate that you're a messenger from one of the Queen's.

"Indeed. I'm here to give you an offer." The Demi Human nodded as he stood up.

"An offer? That's a nice way to put it when you apparently demanded us to surrender." Yuki furrowed her brows.

Sensing her hostility, the Demi Human only laughed.

"Ah yes, I did indeed say that and I have no intention to retract that statement. But I do believe that phrasing it as an offer sounds more pleasant. The Constellation Queen demands your subordination. Should you reject, we'll have to eliminate you and replace your current standing amongst the humans with someone else." The Demi human warned as his aura exploded out, pushing Yuki back by a few steps as her face paled slightly from the force.

Calming her mind, she glared at him.

"Are you not afraid of your neighbour that has appeared near here? Or do you not know about the other Queen." Yuki asked as she stood her ground with a fierce glare.

"Pft hahaha, of course we know about her. In fact we're allies. You see, there have been… a few individuals who had attacked a number of Queens before the new age so we have decided to form an alliance. After all, one of the attackers was a Queen herself and she has stopped the takeover of several potential anchor points, breaking the treaty that all the Queens have agreed to." He smiled.

"What's that to do with me? With the powers at your disposal, I'm sure you can just go for one of the bigger guilds. Why Winter's Grace?" Yuki asked.

"Indeed. Let's just say your base is on a rather interesting location. It is where the Ice Queen appeared in this world. She found a way to move the anchor so we're here to investigate. If we can find a way to move the first anchor that we placed, it would be very beneficial."

"Oh? Then can't you just say that. The Winter's Grace will surrender this mountain to you if that's what you want." Yuki said as a full on confrontation with the Queens will destroy the faction for sure. If the Mountain was what they want, she'll let them have it and evacuate the members immediately.

"No no no, you see, since you're already here, we might as we'll put you to use. Plus, with your current standing amongst the humans, using you as an intermediary is beneficial for us. I've wasted enough breath here so I'll ask you one last time. Will you become the subordinate of the Constellation Queen or will you die? Choose wisely since we'll get rid of everyone in the mountain if you don't." The Demi Human narrowed his eyes as Yuki frowned.

Flexing her finger, she summoned her phone and tapped the screen.

Suddenly alarms rang out through the entire faction building as it was a sign to immediately abandon everything and evacuate.

"Sorry, I'm not becoming your subordinate. You see, I have a good friend and she'll be awfully disappointed if I did." Yuki grinned as a layer of ice instantly formed around the office.

Clasping her hands together, ice shot out of the walls and pierced towards the Demi Human.

"Shame." He shook his head.

Waving his hand, fire erupted out of his body and melted the ice in an instant.

"You think we didn't do research about you? The problem of being a figure in the eyes of the masses is that information about you is easily obtained." He laughed.

Before he could say another word, Yuki appeared in front of him.

"Flash Freeze." She muttered as cold mist would appear with her every breath.

There was a single flash of light before the entire area was covered by a blizzard. The Demi Human was now encased in a layer of ice but Yuki knew that it wasn't enough. While she has reached Tier 5 after being rescued, she knew that she was still lacking when it came to fighting against a messenger of a Queen.

However, her goal was not to kill him. It was to delay the time so that the members could evacuate.

Glancing down, she could see the staff leading the evacuation and smiled slightly.

Slamming her palm against the surface of the ice, a tier 5 seal appeared as light blue chains erupted out.

Tier 5 Glacial Magic: Glacial Prison

Suddenly, large pillars of ice broke through the ground of Mount Fuji and pierced high into the sky as the chains that erupted out of the ice were connected to these pillars.

"Strike down with your might!" Yuki shouted out as a tier 5 magic circle appeared in the air.

The clouds started to swirl as the tip of a silver spear appeared in front of the portal.

Flinching for a moment, Yuki bit her lips and slammed her hand down.

*BANG!!!

Sending out a shockwave, the spear pierced towards the frozen Demi Human with a trail of silver lights flickering behind it.

Shattering the ice apart, the spear shrank down and flew towards Yuki.

Grabbing it out of the air, she twirled it for a moment before entering a combat stance.

While her close quarters combat wasn't that great, this spear helped her amplify her glacial magic and can freeze with a single touch. Plus, it had a decent amount of armour penetration so it was her preferred weapon against stronger combatants.

"Not bad for someone weak like you." A voice rang out from behind Yuki as she immediately slashed behind her with her spear.

Catching it with his index finger and middle finger, a fire burned at the tip, preventing his hands from getting frozen over.

Glancing back, Yuki forced a smile as she opened her mouth.

"Glacial Throne World."

Distorting the space around her, she forcefully dragged the Demi Human into her throne world.

Her throne world was simple as large columns of ice could be seen beneath a starry sky

Jumping back, she summoned the spear back to her hand as she activated a second skill.

Frozen Doppelganger.

Next to her, an exact copy of her made from ice appeared.

Charging towards the Demi Human without saying anything, her doppelganger fell through the frozen floor and reappeared behind him.

Twisting her body, the doppelganger swung her spear which he was able to dodge with ease.

Shaking his head, his body flickered in front of Yuki and grabbing her throat.

*BANG!!!

Slamming her down against the ground, he raised his eyebrow when he realised that she had traded places with her doppelganger.

Glancing back, he saw her etching out a tier 5 magic circle on the ground with her spear.

"Great Burial!"

*KRRRRR!!!!

The ground split apart in an instant as hands created from ice latched onto his body, dragging him down while the ice slowly repaired itself.

Slamming her hand against the ground, the floor of the throne world sunk down by several tens of meters as she compressed everything beneath her.

Normally, this would have been enough to kill most of her enemies but sensing his aura that was burning brighter than before, she forced a smile.

"What a monster." She muttered as a column of fire broke through her ice.

Expanding instantly, her entire throne world was melted apart as she was flung through the sky.

Crashing against the floor of Mount Fuji, Yuki coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Any last words?" The Demi Human smirked as Yuki glared at him.

Forcing a smile, she laughed.

"Yeah I do. I learnt this from my friend so I do hope you'll enjoy it. She's quite a nice person, you should meet her." Yuki grinned as she launched the spear towards his waist area.

*PUCHI!!!

Piercing his lower half, the Demi Human wanted to cry out with pain but he gritted his teeth and held back the scream.

Pulling the spear out, he glared at her and quickly healed his lower half.

Throwing the spear towards her head, he cursed in his mind.

However, before the spear could hit, a figure flashed in front of Yuki and grabbed the spear with ease before planting it into the ground.

"Say, can I know your name?" Her voice rang out as her white hair fluttered in the wind.

Surprised at her sudden appearance, the Demi Human was curious since her aura was almost negligible. But the fact that she easily caught her spear meant that she had some strength.

"Why would a maiden such as yourself want my name. I'm merely a messenger." He smiled when she disappeared.

Widening his eyes, he coughed up a mouthful of blood as her hand had pierced through his chest.

"So that I can carve your name onto a gravestone." Shiro's voice rang out as she was absolutely livid.

Healing him up in an instant, she grabbed his head and tore it from his shoulders.

Shredding his body, she regenerated him a new one and held him in the air.

"We're far from done." She warned as her blood red eyes glowed menacingly.
