Chapter 172: Reunion

Leon and others were shocked to feel The Ice Phoenix's presence.

Of course, no one was as shocked as Winterborn King, whose lips parted wide enough that people could stuff his mouth with an egg. He couldn't believe that Snow Demoness had access to this legendary guardian's mana! He cursed at himself and a little less at his wife, then swore to protect Snow Demoness even more.

However, the whole scene belonged to Adam and her.

The space cracked around them. The cold and blue winds kept swirling around them, not giving people a chance to peek inside to see what was happening. A few grunts shocked Adam's supporters, but soon Snow Demoness' cries lifted worries off their hearts, and they smiled.

Adam was surely winning against that woman.

Why wouldn't he not? He was a divine successor! He was a man who would create a new mini-world and live a life there like no one had done before. He would be more than just a king of a few lands!

Unaware of Leon's presence looming close, Adam's support reveled Snow Demoness' cries. They felt more confident in him and saw a grand future where the space concept created abundant in resources worlds!

All of them were utterly unaware that Snow Demoness' screams sounded familiar in Leon's ears.

He stood frozen for a second before rushing madly through guards fighting against him.

"It's him!" One of Leon's relatives recognized him, shouting to everyone.

Other relatives wheeled in his direction, gasping at Leon's change. Though barely recognizable, those eyes of contempt toward them conjured the exact memories of their mini-world's demise.

A few of those relatives barred Leon's way.

He howled at them. "Fuck off my screen!"

He threw his arms around. Faster than ever before, Leon's scarves left his sleeves. Those sleeves weaved through the hurdles with ease, then Leon utilized his divine weapons, creating a vast fire explosion. His flames were nothing to scoff at, and many suffered significant losses amidst them.

Leon unconsciously summoned his divine sword, which was ready to use the new zones.

Louise and Celes passed their beloved. "Bring out our zones!"

Leon activated that new profound power, painting the gathering in his family's colors. As the darkness of the red moon and the heating sun settled in, Louise and Celes brought their own terror to Madevin Metropolis. Of course, Louise was much stronger since she was fully awakened now.

No longer having any amnesia and even working with Amaterasu dwelling within her, Louise formed burning stars in her zone, paving a path for her beloved.

Knowing that she had the same potential and that it was not a time to feel bitterness, Celes solely focused on herself and took down as many hurdles as possible. Her speed ramped up, and she shone with red moon paling in comparison to her confident and brimming with love eyes.

Leon felt sweet inside, as he didn't have to worry about pests. Of course, strong relatives and Adam's new allies barred his way for the second time.

But Leon was far from being alone.

Madam Jasmin connected a few dots and lent him her power. Many crystals glittered around Leon, then explosive raw mana befell on Leon's new hurdles, blowing them away.

Leon grasped his divine sword and thrust the tip inside the swirling cold winds. "ATHENA!"

"ATHENA!"

In this world, only one person knew her name. It was Winterborn Queen.

Yet, the voice she never imagined hearing again rang out in her ears. Yes, Athena had often thought of Leon's fate since she was aware of her unique body. She wanted him to be with her, too, but she couldn't wish for his death. Thus, she buried those thoughts deep inside her heart.

And now that her throat was being squeezed by her enemy, Athena mistook Leon's voice, imagining that it was just an imagination — that she had misheard him.

However, her heart knew the real answer. Her feelings, which were a distant memory due to a different flow between Earth and Freya World, had been kindled again. And while her heart burned and produced more mana, finding a new and mysterious connection with her beloved, Athena's body became much colder.

She was a snow woman, after all.

Other than her man, no one could hold her hot.

Ice crept its way through Adam's arm as he gawked at Athena's face, which already had lovely red patches on her cheeks.

The ice wind subsided, then.

In their place, a man with a divine sword stood.

The sword was ice, with beautiful blue rose on its hilt. That man held it tightly, glowering at the man whose hand had been grasping Athena's throat.

[You have received a new zone — Athena's Ice Phoenix's Zone!]

[You have activated Athena's Ice Phoenix's Zone.]

Leon lodged his sword in the ground, letting its powers take over the scene. Before Athena, the space literally froze, giving back her freedom. She lifted her hand and put it on Adam's forearm, adding more mana to the already crawling on his skin ice. This forced Adam to take back his hand.

Going across a snowy land, with dancing snowflakes and ice floors reflecting her happy face, Athena flew to her beloved's side with her hands stretched for his face.

She soon caught his face and planted a deep kiss.

Her ice phoenix's wings flapped while the ice zone went mad in love, turning snowflakes into shurikens! At the same time, the ice floor spread something akin to an ice disease that rooted others.

Leon and Athena only had each other in their eyes.

"I should've thought about it… I should've expected you to be here." Leon bumped his forehead into Athena's, looking deeper into her hues.

Athena felt like a human — that was wrong. She felt like a happy woman!

She couldn't think of any mistakes or anything else in that euphoric mood, simply wanting to feel her beloved's warmth and see herself in his eyes.

Those were different, but even if they were shrouded in another color, Leon looked at her in the same way, which made her happier with each passing second.

"You came — and that's all that matters." Athena whispered.

She then felt the space power trying to snatch her back, but Leon quickly wrapped his arms around her, squeezing her into his chest, then looked up. "She's mine."

"You gave up on the space concept. Hence you gave up on her!"

"Are you a virgin or something?"
