"Enough!"
Momoko's scream pierced the air like a dagger.
Her expression twisted—equal parts fury and disbelief.
Her proud smirk had vanished, replaced by clenched teeth and cold sweat sliding down her temple.
The cracks Kouhei had carved into her ice golem's armor were spreading faster than she could patch them.
"You bastard! You think this is enough to beat me?! I'm not done yet—!!"
She slammed both palms into the golem's surface, channeling a massive surge of mana straight into its core.
FWOOOOOMMMM—!!
The entire arena trembled as the golem erupted in a howling aura of cold.
The glaciers that armored it turned a deeper, icy blue—no longer just solid, but enchanted with dense mana that vibrated in the air.
The temperature plummeted.
Frost hissed across the ground, climbing every surface.
The air itself turned into biting needles, stabbing at exposed skin.
Misuzu had to take a step back, her breath fogging instantly.
Kouhei's fingers numbed, even through his gloves.
