Part 3
“No way, Nee-san…”
After the images of the past faded away, Noel stood stunned.
Her words had hurt her sister, and her sister had accepted the ice spirit──that fact had devastated Noel.
“Hahahaha! Now you understand. This woman willingly accepted my power. As a result, her beloved country was destroyed by the cursed blizzard. How shallow and foolish you are… and you, her sister, brought it all on yourself!”
“No…. no, I just…!”
The ice spirit laughed loudly, and Noel fell to her knees.
To Noel, Lexia’s voice was as loud as the blizzard.
“Noel, stop it! Don’t listen to it! You have something you want to tell Flora, don’t you? Then don’t lose…!”
“Lexia-san…”
As Lexia stood with her back to Noel, she glared at the ice spirit.
“Every human being can be swayed by weakness and sorrow! Taking advantage of that is unforgivable…!”
“Fuhahaha! What if it is? This body will soon be mine! It will swallow up all your stupid weakness and sorrow!”
The ice spirit laughed and shot Lexia an icy glare.
“But you, you have good eyes. It is when people like you despair and give in to fear that you become the perfect sacrifice. First, I will send your friends to the land of the dead. Fear and tremble before my power!”
The ice spirit pointed its hand at Luna and Tito, and a storm containing sharp shards of ice flew at them.
“U-ug…! What is this blizzard…!”
“Not good…! I can’t breathe…──!”
The cursed blizzard roared, freezing the limbs of Luna and Tito.
“Luna, Tito!”
“D-don’t come, Lexia…!”
“No, Lexia-san…! Run…!”
“Hahaha! Good, I want more! Your fear, your trepidation, is the power of my snow and ice!”
Lexia paled as the blizzard toyed with her.
“If we don’t do something, we’ll all freeze…! What should I do? What should I do…?”
Usagi’s words suddenly came back to her mind.
(Negative emotions accelerate curses. The same is true in battle. Don’t get caught up in fears that have no substance.)
“Negative emotions──fear accelerates the curse…──!”
As she recalled these words, she realized that she had been caught up in her fear of the ice spirit for some time.
Once the ‘Breath of Light’ had been repelled, she had unconsciously feared that there was an opponent that her power would not work against and that she would be repelled again the next time.
“Now, this is the end!”
The ice serpents rush toward Luna and Tito at the same time the ice spirit roared.
“Kishaaaaaaa!”
“Kuh… String!”
“I-I can’t move…!”
Hiss, hiss, hiss…!
The serpent’s fangs sunk into Luna and Tito, instantly turning them into ice sculptures.
“Oh no…! Luna, Tito…!”
“Hahahaha! There was some bone to pick, but that’s too bad! I’ll finish them off; I’ll smash them to pieces right in front of your eyes!”
The ice spirit laughed ferociously and held up a hand to crush Luna and Tito.
Lexia took a deep breath and shouted as if to strike it down.
“Stop it, you idiot─────!”
A moment later, Lexia’s whole body was filled with light.
Then, a dazzling wave, much stronger than the one at the rock cave, was released.
“Wha!? This power is the same as that time…! R-ridiculous, it’s going to rip me apart! No, stop it…Guaaaaahhhh!?”
A transparent wave of vibration penetrated Flora, and a dark blue shadow appeared as if it was being pulled away from her body.
At the same time, the ice covering Luna and the others breaks off!
“Ah, the ice has been broken…! I can move!”
“Oh, and the blizzard has stopped…!”
With the blizzard stopped, Flora, who was released from the ice spirit, left a small voice, “Oh…” and fell down on the snow.
Noel rushed to the fallen Flora.
“Nee-san!”
“Oh-ooohhh! How dare you, how dare you take my vessel…!”
A blue-black haze of mischief was drifting through the air. The dark, bottomless eyes are distorted with pain and rage.
Luna stared up at the writhing blue-black haze.
“Is that the main body of the ice spirit?”
“Yes! I finally understand, the ice spirit feeds on people’s fear!”
During Lexia and the others’ travels through the Romel Empire, there were several times when the cursed blizzard weakened. This was because the people who witnessed Lexia and the others’ successes had become hopeful, and their fears had diminished.
“You’ve finally revealed yourself! I’m not afraid of you at all now that you’ve lost your body! It’s time to pay your sins, so get ready!”
The ice spirit, which had lost the magic of Flora, howled in abhorrence at Lexia, who resolutely pointed her finger at it.
“Guuh, ugh, even though I lost the vessel for a moment, I have already eaten enough fear; you are now no match for me! I will take over that woman again as soon as I get rid of you! Don’t think you can defeat me so easily, you human!”
In response to the ice spirit’s rage, the ice army, which had stopped, let out a loud shriek.
Once again, they started marching toward the imperial capital.
“Noel, get Flora-san to safety!”
“Yes…!”
Receiving Lexia’s instructions, Noel evacuates with the unconscious Flora.
Luna and Tito braced themselves against the ice dolls.
“As long as there’s no blizzard, everything will be fine over here! Let’s go, Tito!”
“Yes!”
After recovering Flora, the group finally entered the final battle.

“Vuooooooooooo!”
Tito leaped toward the raging horde of dolls without hesitation.
“I’ll smash you to pieces so you’ll never be able to regenerate again!”
She spun in the air as she gathered power in her claws and swung them down with accelerated force.
“Thundering claws・Extreme!”
“Vuooooooooo!”
The ice dolls were shattered by the torrent of tremendous power.
They turned into a pile of fine ice fragments and were silenced.
“How about that? This is the power Usagi-san taught me!”
“Vuooooooooooooo!”
Tito landed on the ground, and the dolls behind her shot out icicles at the same time.
“! What a great number…! But I’ll give them all back to you at once!”
Tito crossed his arms and gathered her strength.
“Haaaaaaah…!”
As if drawing a bow, she gathered her strength to the utmost limit, and at the moment the icicle was right in front of her, she swung out at once.
“Fierce Wind Claw!”
Then, a heaven-shattering tornado was generated.
The tornado rushed toward the ice army, engulfing the icicles and launching them into the night sky.
Far above, the icicles and the dolls collided violently and shattered, becoming tiny shards that sparkled and rained down.
Tito looked up at the sky, appalled at the unexpected power.
“T-the power has obviously increased since Usagi-san’s training… Usagi-san, you’re amazing…”
For a moment, Tito was stunned, and then she snapped back to herself.
The dolls in this area are mostly taken care of! Now all we have to do is defeat the ice spirit…!”
Tito hurriedly went to the ice spirit.
＊＊＊
“Boisterous Dance!”
Luna waved her hands sharply, and the strings danced at a tremendous speed, striking the ice army.
“Vuooooooooooo!”
The ice army turned into powder-like snow.
“Usagi-sama is right. It cuts them up faster than they can regenerate, cutting them down until they can’t regenerate… I didn’t think such a technique was really possible, but he is utterly, utterly terrifying.”
Behind Luna, who brushes her hands away, the ice on the ground rises, revealing the Ice Giant.
“Vuooooooooooooo!”
An arm swings down with a roar.
Booommmm!
The log-like arm slams down with a thunderous boom, and the ground is gouged out deeply.
“Vuvu, vuoo…!”
Perhaps judging that it had definitely finished off its prey, the Ice Giant let out a cry of joy──
“Not so fast!”
“Vuooo!?”
The giant screams in astonishment.
Without knowing it, Luna was standing on top of the fist that had been slammed into the ground.
“You seem to be big, but you don’t seem to have the intelligence to match your size. It’s only a puppet, after all. ──I guess it’s my turn next.”
She leaped lightly, twisted herself around, and released a bundle of strings.
“Spiral!”
The spiraling strings, like a drill, pierced through the giant’s torso.
The speed and power of the strings, which she had trained with Usagi, were so great that they struck the giant violently against the rock, cutting it down from the inside.
“Vu, oo… vuoooooo!?”
The giant doll shattered easily from the inside and returned to a piece of silent ice.
Luna looks around at the pieces scattered all over the place and exhales.
“A temporary life is a fragile thing, isn’t it?”
Luna then turned herself around to defeat the ice spirit.
