280 Double Tap (1/2)

A sharp icicle that was shaped similar to an arrow materialized in the crossbow's bow socket which was already thrown out as I pulled the trigger using my 'Telekinesis', and was directly embedded in the closest demon's head, as his head and horns were frozen solid, turning his whole head into an ice cube.

Having continued my killing sequence for a few rounds in the matter of seconds, I turned my head to take a look at the strange situation that seemed to be occurring between the two strongest in the base…
