第四十关（前）

The temperature... is dropping sharply?

There's ice forming on the ground...

It's so cold...

Unbelievable... even the burning effigy was frozen over....!

The flames were put out... Dark clouds have covered the sky...

Aaahh...!

Don't panic!

Jessica, Blacksteel operator!

Yes!

Stay in position!

Roger!

What are you doing, Frostleaf?!

She's... draining all the heat from her surroundings!

I never knew she was able to affect such a wide area!

Heh... Master of the Yetis...

I've never met... anyone with a lower body temperature than mine.

Frostleaf!

Meteorite... To be honest, I wanted to...

Distract her... and buy some time for you...

You...

But... my body... is completely frozen.

I can't... move my feet anymore.

Frostleaf! !

Amiya, take them with you, and fight your way out of here.

In less than a minute, the enemy commander... will have frozen this entire square.

Don't make me die for nothing.

Amiya... We can't... I won't leave her!

I understand.

I won't leave Frostleaf behind.

I will not... leave anyone behind!

I'll hold off the enemy squads' movements.

Meteorite... I'm counting on you to bring Frostleaf back!!

Roger!

Doctor! Please lead our squads!

Way ahead of you!;(Nod);Affirmative!

Now that I think about it...

I've only used these Arts once before.

'Wherever there is blood...'

Hah.

So you want to use your ice... to counter mine?

Nnh...!

How will you do that if you can't even use your tongue anymore?

You...

Yeti Squadron, spread out.

Roger.

My brethren...

Flush them out, and freeze their blood.

Understood.

'...Your mind can hide nothing from me.'

An incantation?

The rabbit of Rhodes Island...

Black... lines? ...What the hell is that?

Wh-what kind of Arts is that--

W-wait, why is that thing... worming past our barriers? !

Don't--

...Aaaaaghh!!!!

M-my body! It's on fire...! It's burning!

Meteorite!

I know!

Please, keep distracting them!

N-n-no... so cold...!

Nnngh... it hurts so much!

...Gaah... No, no more...

Hurry! Don't let them hurt our comrades any further!

Understood!

Your Originium Arts... are very formidable.

Nnh... aagh...

Damn you... Get away... from me...

Nnnh...

I won't give you a chance to use your Arts, girl.

Now, close your eyes and sleep.

I'll put you out of your misery soon.

Th-this witch...!

I take it that you're Amiya.

I like the look in your eyes.

That is how a warrior should look.

I'm sorry...

Why are you...

What's going on here?

...It's snowing?

'Sleep, my children. Sleep.

Hedgehog dolls and teddy bears...'......

This strange melody...

...She's casting her Arts!

'Sink quietly into black...♪

...My broken puppets and dolls♬'

Even more shards of black ice are appearing out of thin air?!

The ice shards are slowly falling onto the ground!

Shoot, the ground is freezing wherever the shards fall...?

The black ice...

It's spreading...?!

The ice crystals are eroding everything around us!

Don't let her finish her song! !

Rhodes Island, we're going all out!
