NOVPUBThe world turned black, the entire sky darkened, and a huge hole formed above Pride, spinning like a black hole. The upper part of Sin was tinged black, his golden eyes gleaming, and golden ink fell, forming a strange symbol. Pride looked at Envy, who was clenching his teeth toward Emilia:"Snake, don't tell me you feel envy toward Emilia's words?"He wore a mocking smile. That miserable snake feels envy toward every living being that can exist on Earth, even in the world of the Celestials, no matter how small...
"Shut up!" Envy bared his white teeth at Pride and clenched them, looking around. The crystalline ice capsule was a sort of prison formed around Emilia, who was placed in another dimension. Envy looked through the crystal and saw only a dark void, sighing:"We can't get out," he said, crossing his arms toward Pride.
Pride looked at her with disdain and pointed at Emilia:"Of course we can." He pointed a finger at Emilia: "We just have to kill her."He tilted his head toward Envy as if stating something obvious.
Envy shook his head slightly:"It doesn't work like that, and you know it."
"Then we just have to pressure her." Pride smiled. The black hole spinning above his head began to exert pressure.
Emilia remained silent, making no movement, looking around... she felt that something was wrong. Although they trapped her with them in another dimension, their reactions were not nervous at all; in fact, they were calmer than she was herself. Frowning, she said:"Is there someone else with you?"
"Do you think we're going to tell you, seraph?" Envy shook his head with a smile: "Don't make it harder and just give us the rune fragment."
Emilia stayed silent...
Fooshhh!!! 𝙣𝒐𝙫𝙥𝙪𝙗.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Hundreds of ice spears formed around her:"No need. The same applies to you — I just have to hit you a little."
"Damn bitch!" Envy couldn't take it anymore and lunged like a madwoman. Her hands expanded, and small specks of green light stirred, flying directly at Emilia. Envy's energy shifted completely to black, surrounded by a light green glow spreading out. Envy's reptilian eyes widened, and runes appeared around her body.
Emilia clicked her tongue. A crown settled on her head, and her dress transformed into one made of ice. Flowers like roses began forming around the dress. In a matter of seconds, Emilia seemed to embody the very form of an empress of an empire...
"Ice Sovereign." Her voice was cold and calm at the same time. The empty place suddenly changed, and in its place appeared a beautiful snowy landscape. From the snow, ice roses bloomed, emitting a glacial aura...
"Angel's Field: Field of Her Majesty's Roses." In Emilia's hands appeared a staff that seemed made of diamonds. Behind her, a small moon, blue and cold as the night, appeared.
Pride crossed his arms, looking at the place:"How long has it been since I last saw this place?" He touched his chin thoughtfully:"Tell me, seraph, you're stalling for time, right?" He smiled as if he could see through Emilia:"Unfortunately for your greed, he is a merchant — the best of the three realms."
His body distorted in space. A black hand fell upon Emilia's head; she quickly covered herself, and roses formed around her to protect her...
Boommm!!!
A terrifying explosion echoed around the beautiful field; the snow melted, and in its place, black ink began to devour everything around.
Pride didn't waste a second, moving right behind Emilia. His hands moved at an incalculable speed. The hole above his head fiercely tried to pull Emilia's body toward it.
Emilia didn't lag behind either. The staff in her hand glowed, frost descended from the blue moon, and the waves condensed into orbs that flew toward Pride. He formed a plate of darkness. The hole above his head expanded greatly, swallowing the icy orbs. The plate of darkness took shape and turned into a sword. Brandishing his sword, he made a horizontal slash intending to cut Emilia's neck...
Swoshhh!!
A mist formed around them. A sharp blow resonated throughout the place, and space tore completely. Emilia stepped back a few paces; her appearance had completely changed. Instead of the dress, she now wore armor for a woman. The icy staff in her right hand had taken the form of an ice spear. A trail of blood fell from her lips as she looked coldly...
From the smoke emerged Pride, dragging his sword on the ground, a wide smile adorning his lips. Two more pairs of horns appeared above his head, a total of six horns perfectly positioned to form a grotesque crown. Pointing his sword, he said:"Now the fun begins. It's about time you took your seraph's spear out of the ice. Even though you're good with magic, I like this form much better. Let's have some fun soon."
Emilia remained silent and looked at Envy, who hadn't moved an inch from his position:"You're not going to do anything?" Emilia tilted her head slightly.
Envy stared back:"I'll take advantage of the best moment. Don't worry about me." She waved her hands with disdain.
"Disgusting rat," Pride clicked his tongue in contempt.
"Think what you want." Envy shrugged.
Pride looked at her for a few moments before snapping his fingers. Looking back at Emilia, he gripped the sword's hilt tighter:"Let's not waste time before those bastard observers bother us." After finishing his words, his body distorted.
Emilia gently clenched her teeth, her eyes shining...
Clinkk!!!
The clash of spear and ice tore the space apart. Emilia blocked Pride's sword, which was aimed at her stomach. Moving her fingers nimbly, the spear danced in her hands, launching a vertical attack. Pride didn't hesitate for a moment; true to his nature, he took the blow head-on...
Booomm!
"That's right!" Pride nodded vigorously, a crazed smile on his face. He lunged at Emilia again. His sword seemed to split into hundreds at once, all directed toward Emilia's vital points. She flexed her thighs, planting her feet firmly. Ice spikes rose from the ground. Her spear moved as if it had a life of its own...
Envy stayed silent, watching the "fierce" battle between the seraph and Pride:"Clearly, they're not using their full power." She looked again at the surrounding space, then glanced upward:"Though I have to say, this is a wonderful place to let loose a little." A crooked smile appeared on her lips:"I just hope for the perfect moment..."
