I regressed and became the Sword Ice King

"What skill are you using?" Zoan asked with curiosity.

"My highest, the Master Skill".

"Alright then," Zoan said with a wild grin on her white face. "Let's burst this brother into smithereens".

Rina sighed and prevented herself from lecturing her team leader about the people she was meant to and not meant to be referring to as brother or sister.

A fireball erupted from the tip of Xixan's staff, and it began to twirl around as more of it erupted in front of the staff.

At the same time, the black clouds in the sky rumbled bitterly to her command, as her eyes sparkled with yellow electricity.

The tingling sensation that came with casting her lightning spell had overtaken her as her grin had widened into a mad smile.

The wind rumbled with the black clouds and lightning began to stream across it like a fearsome dragon irked by the laws of the world. The black clouds began to swirl around like a vortex, descending towards the earth in an unparalleled fury.

Zoan cackled softly as the sparks in her eyes ignited in a frenzy while Xixan and Herbe stared at the phenomenon in shock.

It was impossible for a master skill to affect the laws of nature to this extent. So it had quickly dawned on them, just what Zoan was about to unleash.

Herbe's gaze shifted slightly, as she whipped towards the frantic girl.

"Hey! Zoan, are you crazy?! That's a transcendent skill?!"

Zoan laughed out loud amidst the sound of gunshots and lightning, her voice piercing it like a hot knife through butter.

"What's the problem? We want him dead, no?"

'This is ridiculous!' Herbe thought, her gaze still in a state of shock. A member of the Named team shouldn't possess this sort of skill unless she discovers it along the way. It was uncommon to find just anybody using a transcendent skill; after all, it was mainly used by level 100s, especially during a confrontation amongst themselves.

Her gaze shifted towards Raph, her thoughts reeling in, causing a banging headache. "What the bloody fuck is that man even doing?!"

She had questioned his authority multiple times in her head, but never had she exclaimed it once because of the love her sisters had for Neuj, but right now, Everything seemed….absolutely out of control.@@novelbin@@

"Forget about that! Let's handle Kael first". Xixan's voice was like a wake-up bell, snapping her back to reality.

She glanced at her and then at Raph, who was still in the middle of fending off the bullets. This was their chance, the only chance if possible, or at least, that's how it seemed.

"Alright then. Attack when you're ready".

****

Raph's mind had been split into different tasks, with each trying to achieve success in their specific task.

One ensured that true bullets didn't as much as graze him while another kept him from using too much of his abilities, and then another was focused on the phenomenon in the skies.

Even he had to admit that he may have underestimated them, but this time was a lot different. He didn't really care about hiding his abilities if he came down to it. He was being pushed to his max by the bullets alone, but a lightning bolt aimed at his head would surely kill him if he were to remain stuck in the deadlock.

'Fine then'.

He needed to take down the gunmen, but their location was clouded in a rain of bullets. How could he possibly locate them specifically? Well, unsurprisingly, his eyes helped to achieve that greatly.

With intense precision and decisive movements, he had been scanning the area for a generalized location of the gunmen.

He had even noticed the four women that stood a few meters away from him, not to mention the three that were still after his neck.

All he needed was one slip-up from them, just one. Even if it was just to refill their ammo, then that would be all it took.

He had locked in on their location by now, and all he did was continue his fight against the gunmen until one of them ran out of ammo.

He had the energy and stamina to go on; after all, mana was continuously supplied from the environment and converted to aura in case it ran out. The two different energy cores were working in perfect harmony, and his body, in turn, moved by his will, like a machine without lag.

The phenomenon from the skies was something that would take time to activate.

After all, he was well aware of transcendent skills and how they worked. So he knew the right amount of time it would take for the magic to activate.

It wasn't much, but it was something that kept him going as he continued to wait, until it was finally rewarded.

High by his left, a female had just run out of ammo and was taking some from her partner, who stood next to her. That was all he needed. It was inevitable anyway. Gunmen usually had a few weaknesses, and one was their ammo. It was expandable, and a logical way of taking them down as long as it wasn't made out of mana. But even that was expandable.

His body suddenly changed erratically in action, as a gust of ice formed in the air. He jumped sideways while he fended off the bullets with one hand while the other was held out to hold the spare he had formed from ice.

"Fucking bitches".

He threw it upwards with a single swoop, causing an explosion of energy to erupt as a chill, a whooshing sound echoed through the air.

The gazes of the girls were shocked as their attention was locked on the spear of ice that flew into the air with unparalleled speed.

It was too late by the time they figured out where he had aimed, as the spear landed on the building where the two female gunmen were camping. An explosion of energy occurred as a blast wave pushed the building downwards from its foundation. It was soon followed by an explosion of ice that rose into the air like ice spires, dithering the decimation of the building.

Herbe widened her eyes in shock as she glanced at Xixan and Zoan. "Now!" She exclaimed, hastening the magic casting.

Zoan groaned as she swung her hand in the air, then pulled it downwards. "Transcendent Skill! Lightning Fury!".

"Master Skill! Copious Fire Bomb!".

Multiple fire bombs had spun around the tip of her staff until now before they shot out like missiles towards their target on command.

At the same time, the sky shook as a loud lightning roar echoed before a bolt of lightning descended within a flash.

The yellow lightning struck the ground with such force that it ran through the earth, causing a stir throughout Border Town, and the firebombs landed with so much speed that multiple crimson, fiery explosions occurred at the same time.

A wave of wind shook the nearby incomplete buildings to the ground while the remnant of the lightning bolt ignited in the air like lightning sparks.

Soot rose to the air and clouded their sight while a tense silence suffused around them.

The only sound that pierced through the air was the vibration of the earth and the sparking of lightning in the air. While the girls waited patiently for the soot to descend, Xixan and Zoan panted heavily as the shock of using all their MP became palpable.

Herbe had glanced at them and then at the destruction caused by their attack, and tension ensued in her chest.

'...if he survives this…then even the boss can't take him down'. She thought as she attempted to take a step to find out herself.

"Wait!" Rina cried out, stopping in her tracks, but at the same time, she noticed a severe depression in the ground that had nearly swallowed her up.

On leaning in, she found out that it was a crater, deep and eerie, that was caused by the lightning attack. Sand slid into the hole, and soon they would if they remained on that spot.

She stared at it in surprise, then at Rina, as a brow raised in curiosity.

'She knew'.

Hiding once Transcendent Skill was akin to betraying the boss, or so she was told, so this was surprising news for her. '....I'll handle all that once we get out of here'. She thought with a sigh.

"We need to find Carlie and get out of here". She said with a stern tone as she helped Xixan up while Rina helped Zoan.

"He should be dead, right?" Xixan asked, listlessness etched in her voice.

"Of course!" Zoan said before panting lightly. "There's no escaping the fury of the lightning".

Herbe and Zoan stared at her for a few seconds, before turning away with a sigh.

"You have some explaining to do". Herbe said with a click of her tongue as they turned around to walk away.

Zoan laughed out loud in response. "Don't worry about it. The boss won't punish me that much". She said with a carefree tone.

Herbe and Xixan glanced at each other with a weary smile. 'At least she knows'. They thought in unison when a crunching sound caught their attention.
