Dark Fantasy: Super Coward Mode

A blast of cold air, so frigid it felt as if my fingers might freeze solid, descended between us and the Second Princess.

Though the chill came from the Second Princess’s powers, my body instinctively reacted to the palpable tension in the air. Every nerve in my body seemed to shudder, making me feel the weight of the moment more than I ever expected.

It wasn’t just us who felt it. The Second Princess didn’t immediately attack but stood, watching us silently, her gaze cold and calculating.

I cast a glance at Gaia, bound by the ice.

Her complexion seemed to be returning to normal, so it appeared the situation wasn’t as dire as it had seemed.

Why was I even worried? It was because of her that everything had gotten this way. Once everything was over, I’d be asking Oko to handle the damages for what we’d endured.

Shaking off the stray thoughts, I refocused.

The power of the Fourth Exalted was strong enough to forcibly strip away divine power.

The ability to use elemental affinities to overcome any foe.

The endurance to freeze this world solid.

It was intimidating, to say the least.

It wasn’t the prospect of my death that scared me; it was the aftershock of failing. The thought of it made my hands tremble, and the will to fight seemed to slip from my grasp.

This was probably the first time I had truly provoked the Second Princess like this.

Just look at her face.

Even with her already cold expression, she was proving that a person’s face could become even colder.@@novelbin@@

Despite the surprise attack, even Gaia, who had experienced fear in the face of death, had felt a moment of panic under her power.

But me—an ordinary human—what chance did I have against her?
