Chapter 333 - The Blizzard Princess (2/2)
'A-Again!? But how?! No ordinary mage would have been able to chant and deploy a spell that fast!'
It was his one and only opportunity, and he missed it. Following that, a humanoid ice figure could be seen standing on top of the pirate's ship, just behind the bridge.
It was only in that moment, that both the crew and the captain realized how bad their situation was.
”Hahaha… KUHAHAHAHA! YOU FOOL! I HAD GIVEN YOU AN OPPORTUNITY AND YOU DARED TO ATTACK ME! NOW THERE IS ONLY ONE OPTION FOR YOU ALL, DEATH!” The pirate captain shouted.
He was enjoying it. So much that he hadn't even flinched when the trident stopped inches away from his face.
”PFFT, way to go captain. Your acting skills are still top-notch. Acting as if killing them wasn't the plan from the beginning.” Said one of the pirates.
The crew captain could do nothing but watch with fear as the pirate then shouted.
”Hahaha… Boys… LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!!!” The captain shouted as he raised his sword.
The moment he did, with a cold look of excitement, all the pirates rushed on board. Using either the ropes of the bridges to get onto the ship.
”D-DON'T LET THEM HURT THE PA.S.SENGERS! FIGHT BACK!” The crew captain shouted as he grabbed one of the weapons from the nearest crew member.
But with the way the tide of the battle was going, it would be impossible for any of them to come out alive. The blizzard princess didn't need to make any moves. It was one sided.
The one who was doing the most damage and taking out most of the pirates was the crew captain. He would manage to take out at least five pirates every minute. His movements completely balanced despite standing on top of the unstable deck.
No, maybe that was why it was balanced. A former A-Ranker who traveled the seven seas. He was the pillar holding the ship together.
He boosted the morale of the team, and allowed the to push back with minimal casualties, despite it only being 7 of them. The crew also seemed experienced with fighting so they weren't going down easily.
Since all the passengers, were inside the deck. They could let loose without worrying about anyone getting hurt. Or at least that's what they thought. They failed to notice two passengers still sat on the deck. They hadn't moved an inch.
The leader of the pirates was surprised to see this. They had a total of thirty pirates and yet the numbers were being skimmed down faster than he had expected.
Despite that, he wasn't afraid. In fact, it was the opposite.
”MEN! FALL BACK!” He shouted
The pirates having understood, why. Quickly retreated, leaving the crew and the captain confused.
'W-Wait, he's not planning to-'
The pouring drops of rain turned harder and harder as they began to freeze due to the effect's of the blizzard princess's spell.
They were all drenched from their sweat and the rain. Such was an unfavorable situation for them. Especially when the other side had an ice mage.

In that instant, before any of them could react. All the crew members including the captain. Froze from the bottom up. They couldn't move a muscle.
'SHIT!!! WE WERE SO CLOSE!!'
*Clap* *Clap* *Clap*
The pirate leader began clapping his hands as he made his way towards the ship captain. He continued to clap as he held tightly onto his sword before slowly raising it over the ship captain's head.
”That was quite the performance you put up for yer age. Shame it ends now.” Said the leader of the pirate before preparing for a swing.
”WAIT! DON'T KILL HIM!” Shouted one of the crew members.
It was this exact shout which inspired the others.
”WE'LL HAND YOU ALL THE VALUABLES! PLEASE JUST LET HIM GO!”
”HE'S AN OLD MAN ALREADY, LET HIM DIE FROM AGE!”
”THERE'S NOTHING TO GAIN FROM KILLING HIM!”
The crew members began to shout and do their best to convince and stop the pirate. Even if it meant selling their pride and begging, their captain's life was much more Important than that.
The captain who saw this, grit his teeth before shouting.
”YOU IDIOTS! WORRY ABOUT YOURSELVES!”

”Serena, what should I do with this guy?” The cloaked person asked as he held on tightly to the pirate's blade with his finger tips. A masculine voice.
”Do as you wish. I'll deal with the ice monster.” Said Serena.
Serena raised her arm into the air. Ignoring the shards of ice and drops of rain which would evaporate as they got within inches of her body.
