Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Somewhere in a study, Twin had just finished dyeing her hair with two different colors—icy blue for the head on the left and fiery red for the head on the right.
After reading the rules of the trial, her two heads started conversing closely.
Suddenly, however, both heads turned toward the window.
“We have a guest, it seems,” the left head with the icy blue hair mumbled as though she was talking to herself, “And here I was thinking about familiarizing myself with our surroundings while everyone’s c.u.mulative scores are still equally low.”
“A person who pops up immediately after reading the rules of the trial is either terrifyingly strong or unbelievably stupid,” the red-haired right head sneered, “I think it’s more the latter.”
“Let’s test them out. If they’re very weak, we’ll just kill them. If they’re as strong as us or stronger, there’s no need to fuss either.” As the blue-haired head spoke, she began to form hand seals. “Remember, this is just the first day. If we overwork ourselves or get injured, it’ll be hard to get through the rest of the trial.”
“I was thinking the same thing.” A long sword about 160cm in length appeared in Twin’s right hand. There was not much difference between the length of the sword and her height.
The moment she finished her combat preparations, a red shadow sliced through the air toward her.
“The Abyssal Tribe. We have to watch out!” As the words escaped the blue-haired head, she extended her left palm, swiftly forming a hand seal.
The temperature in the entire study dropped rapidly. A layer of frost crept swiftly across the surface of the floor and up the walls, visibly becoming thicker even to the naked eye.
Outside the study window, water vapor suspended in the air condensed into puffs of icy white mist.
Further ahead, at the tail end of the icy mist, a translucent ice crystal blossomed like a gigantic flower bud opening and blocked the speeding red shadow’s attack.
The ice flower now measured about ten meters in diameter, cutting off the attacker’s path completely.
Icy white mist spewed from the flower’s petals and a terrifying chill swept across the sky towards the red figure.
Realizing that coming into contact with the freezing mist would be inadvisable, the red shadow slowed down and slashed at the gigantic ice crystal flower with his sword.
A red sword gleam cleaved through the flower like sunlight through a canopy of trees.
When she saw this, however, Twin’s blue-haired head twitched her lips up in a grin.
A swift alteration in her hand seals and both halves of the towering ice crystal flower began to bloom again. In the blink of an eye, they became two even bigger ice flowers with a diameter of twenty meters each. The flowers appeared more seductively vivid than the originals, their whiteness now tinged with a hint of blue. The overwhelming chill grew even more terrifying.
Seeing this, the red figure did not hesitate. Before the two flowers could release any more deadly mist, he cut through them again with his sword.
This time, the red gleam sliced the ice blossoms apart horizontally.
Once again Twin altered her hand seals and the two halved flowers bloomed once more. In a few seconds, they had now become four flowers. The four enormous blossoms were yet more vivid and seductive than the first two, and more visibly bluish rather than white. The icy fog that emanated from the flowres instantly deposited a layer of light blue frost over the houses within the vicinity of several thousand meters.
The red figure finally realized his mistake and ceased his attacks.
He could clearly sense the aura from the four ice crystal flowers—they were akin to four Rank-9 Virtual G.o.ds blocking his path.
