Chapter 112 Chapter 112 Improve

Without even chanting a single word, the silver head terrorist slowly reconstructed the rigid glaciers- gradually breaking down its molecular structure, sculpturing it, and molding it into the form of a dragon.

First, there was the wings- long, spanning the width of twenty men.

Then there was the head- gnarly, like a statue.

As the tail emerged, and as it flapped its wings, the uncomfortable screeching sound broke through the air, as the monstrosity shot right at Mrs. Russell. With the way it raged at her with a clear homicidal intent, anyone would have wondered if this was a practice match- or a duel to the death.

It was fast.

Lightning fast.

With its massive head and thick long neck, leading the attack, its streamlined form raced horizontally through the void towards the blond woman.

On the opposite side of the field, Madeline's stance shifted. She rotated her dominant leg, sweeping it along the carpet grass, and arching behind her. Her palms clenched into fists as she shot both arms forward in powerful thrusts.

The atmosphere above reacted- instantly.

Above, the swirling clouds of jet black smoke twirled violently- stirring like a storm cloud over a ship. But instead of thunder, there came a spine-chilling sound that was the hissing of a hundred snakes. Instead of lightning, there was a flash of glowing red eyes above. And instead of raindrops- there was a pestilence of serpents.

In dreadful showers, they came down hard on the ice dragon.

They slithered down from above, crashing by the dozens into the raging dragon, tainting its brilliant translucent whiteness with their black slithering forms, trying to retard its velocity, and forcing downward to the earth.

The entire black mist appeared to have been converted to a nest of small snakes.

However, much to Madeline's surprise, in spite of the small army of snake shapes trying to wrap around Selina's monstrous dragon, the ice creature kept racing forward- towards her- in blind rage!

The shadowy serpents could not seem to gain an edge over the beast.

Madeline's cheeks were flushed with a youthful vibrance. All the muscles in her body were alert and tense. The veins on her head and arms ripped through her skin energetically. As the horrifying screech of the ice dragon filled her ears, the rush of battle once again coursed through her.

She swung her hands into the air once again- clenched her fists midair, and brought them downwards again with a forceful swing.

A rain of black smoky serpents once more rained down on the ice dragon. Dozens more descended, snaking their way around the dragon's body, encircling it, trying to weigh it down, forcing it into submission.

But it was all but futile!

In no time, the ice dragon covered three-fourths of the distance between them. Riding gloriously through the open air, it cruised at an altitude of ten feet above ground level. The span of its frosty wings nearly covered the width of the field. Cracking sounds- like mini thunders, followed its every move.

Madeline tensed.

Then the monstrous creature finally appeared before her- wings beating furiously, and crystals eyes gleaming lifelessly. Head to the sky, chest outwards, and wings swaying below in oscillatory movements, it hovered above her- like a nightmare come to life.

She gasped as a blast of air brushed her pale face. For a brief moment, she wobbled on her feet- almost tripping behind her. But another blast of icy cold air from the dragon's wings upset her balance, and she fell over backwards- landing on her bum.

"Alright alright! Well played Selina, well played."

In an instant, the ice dragon disappeared.

It simply burst into a million tiny frosty pieces- returning to the atmosphere, and becoming one with the air once again as moisture. The black smoke also cleared- kind of. because it returned back into Madeline's body- where it belonged.

The sun once again shone over the clearing.

From the end of the field, Selina teased her with a loud voice;

"I'm sorry, what was that? It's difficult to hear you over the sound of my awesome victory. . .could you possibly say that a little louder?"

"Yeah yeah," Mrs. Russell snorted as she raised herself up; "No need to be a dick about it. You've won okay?"

Selina's smile was as big as the sun. She walked over to the other side of the field. In her white gown, and with her silvery hair bouncing gently on her shoulders, she closed the gap between them in long graceful strides- watching her old friend dust herself up.

"Oh did I win?" she said teasingly; "You don't say! I was so busy kicking your old ass, I didn't even notice. That was a nice trick by the way- with the snakes and all."

Madeline dusted her bum with the palm of her hands. Slapping against her fleshy thighs, she beat out the dirt from her olive green dress;

"Yeah right. They were all but useless against that dreadful monstrosity you summoned. . . how were you even able to pull that off on such short notice? I don't think I heard you make any incantations. . ."

Her eyes flickered in genuine awe as she asked.

Selina handed her a white handkerchief;

"Oh please, you're talking about me? You should have seen yourself," she mused; "For someone who has been on bed rest for a decade plus, you sure did surprise me. . ."

Madeline took the handkerchief and brushed off the smudge on her dress.

Selina continued her assesment;

". . .I mean, there was no way I could have gained an edge over that annoying hallucinatory stunt you were trying to pull. I was literally fighting for my sanity."

Blondie whispered; "I see, hence the ice dragon."

Selina snapped her fingers;

"Exactly. That was the only move that was powerful enough to escape that mind trap you were trying to set for me. . ." she lowered her eyes; "Yeah, don't think I didn't notice. . ."

"Sorry, that's just my go to move. I haven't had time to develop it over the past decade."

"That only serves to prove my point Maddie. You've been ill, and yet, you were able to hold your ground and force my hand. That was incredible."

Selina was right.

Lady Russel was on fire.

At that moment, Nexus' potent seed was still coursing through her blood, awakening her latent strength, and fueling her innate abilities. She was not just well, she was practically at her peak stage. And this battle had all but proved it.

"Not gonna lie Cee Cee, I've been feeling really great, so I was honestly expecting to at least draw with you. But damn, you're a friggin' beast now. That whole corporate vibe you've got going on- is VERY misleading."

The silver haired woman laughed heartily;

"If you had been fighting the me from ten years ago, it wouldn't have been a draw- you would have won. I've had time to improve that's all."

"Improve?" Madeline chaffed; "Nah dude. What I just saw right now was way deeper than the word 'improve.' Your level up is astonishing. How many ice mages our age are currently able to manipulate ice on such a breathtaking level? Girl you practically ALTERED THE WEATHER!"
