127 In the End, the Ice Snow Princess Was Broken
Isabel quickly walked to Dekan’s side, looking down at him from above.
She originally wanted to use her toe to lift Dekan’s chin, or possibly stomp on his head and twist it, but she held back for now.
She was surprisingly calm at the moment.
“Go and destroy the Ice Snow Princess with your 60x Heart Pain Attack, and I’ll punish you later, my slave.”
If Dekan’s body wasn’t so weak, Isabel would have tortured him right then and there.
However.
It might be because Dekan had become her possession.
Isabel found herself somewhat reluctant to damage Dekan’s handsome body.
“Alright.”
Dekan’s voice seemed devoid of emotion, his movements stiff as he slowly rose and walked step by step towards the Ice Snow Princess.
“No…”
Watching Dekan approach her like a walking corpse, the Ice Snow Princess’s face was filled with despair once again.
Her lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to say something, but the pain and fear prevented her from speaking.
Unbeknownst to her, tears of remorse streamed down her face, falling to the ground.
Dekan seemed to see nothing, completely not recognizing the Ice Snow Princess and Chloix. His expression was cold as he approached them, like a heartless killer.
“Boy, I’m sorry… It’s all my fault…”
The Ice Snow Princess’s eyes were filled with tears, and despair was clearly written in her gaze.
Her face was as pale as paper, her voice sounding like both repentance and a futile plea to the deities.
But the next moment.
It seemed the Ice Snow Princess’s eyes flickered with a sense of movement, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but she noticed Dekan’s lips trembling slightly.
Only the Ice Snow Princess, facing Dekan, could see that he was using all his strength to retain the last bit of control over his body, trying to convey something with a mouth movement.
The Ice Snow Princess carefully observed Dekan’s lips.
She realized what he was attempting to convey—
Please, kill me…
“No! I can’t do it!”
The emotions of the Ice Snow Princess finally burst forth like melting snow, and she began to cry out loud.
Even if she was able to bring herself to do it.
She, who was suppressing the Destruction Demon King, wouldn’t have the strength left to attack Dekan.
If one day she had to kill Dekan to free him from his enslavement,
she would surely commit suicide after killing him with her own hands.
She could not carry on with the guilt.
But as long as she lived,
she wouldn’t let the perpetrator off the hook!
The Ice Snow Princess seemed to instantly transform her sorrow into anger.
She wiped away her tears with gritted teeth and shouted at Isabel,
“Isabel!! No matter where you hide, at the ends of the earth, I will not let you escape! I will free this boy from your control!”
“Hmph, let’s see if you live through the day to say that!”
Isabel responded coldly with a laugh.
Deprived of her equipment and magic cards, she wasn’t sure if she could quickly breach Chloix’s defense of full cards.
But she knew.
Dekan’s pain art—60x Heart Pain Attack—was something that could not be resisted or defended against.
This move could directly lock onto the Ice Snow Princess from afar, utterly defeating her!
Isabel wasn’t worried about Chloix giving the captured “Pain Suppression” from her to the Ice Snow Princess.
The binding and unbinding of magic cards, though quick, could only be done outside of combat.
And the Ice Snow Princess, in this high-intensity battle state, couldn’t bind magic cards at all!
Isabel planned to use her newly gained slave to release the Destruction Demon King, kill the Ice Snow Princess and Chloix, and reclaim her cards!
Dekan followed Isabel’s orders strictly.
He clutched his chest, just like he did the first time he showcased the 60x Heart Pain Attack at Demon Academy, indulging in self-hypnosis.
“Ice Snow Princess, I hate you so much!”
“Ice Snow Princess, why didn’t you listen to my advice!”
“Ice Snow Princess, you repay kindness with resentment! You’ve led me to this state! How can you possibly redeem yourself!”
“…”
Listening to Dekan’s words, the Ice Snow Princess’s eyes reddened again, but she forced back the tears with great effort.
She knew the will-less Dekan was merely reciting the necessary steps to cast his so-called “Heart Pain Attack.”
But every word was a severe mental strike against the Ice Snow Princess.
For she was guilty.
Guilty beyond measure.
In her view,
it was her fault that turned the spirited boy who saved her at the most critical moment into such a pitiful state!
But.
She could not be shaken by these words.
She had to remain resolute in her mental state.
Even if she had to grit her teeth and endure Dekan’s 60x Heart Pain Attack, she would not pass out from the pain.
She had to hold the staff and protect the people of Tristin City.
However.
The Ice Snow Princess thought Dekan’s words would no longer shake her will.
“Ice Snow Princess.”
“You!”
“Hurry… Kill me…”
Dekan stood before the Ice Snow Princess, his figure, bearing the cold wind, like a lone hero.
He seemed to have regained a bit of his will amidst immense pain and struggle, and with all his strength, he managed to utter those words.
The Ice Snow Princess’s complexion turned deathly pale, her mind buzzing uncontrollably.
She saw that even under enslavement, Dekan’s noble soul still shone with a brilliant light.
At that moment, her eyes became completely red, her vision blurred with tears, and a suffocating sensation as if she were being dragged into an endless sea.
“Ah… Ah…”
Her body was stiff; she couldn’t move, feeling as if something in her chest was breaking apart in pain.
It wasn’t Dekan’s 60x Heart Pain Attack.
But it caused her more emotional pain than the anticipated 60x Heart Pain Attack.
“Thud.”
A single teardrop unexpectedly fell from her eyes again, hitting the ground.
Then the tears fell like a broken string of pearls, impossible to stop.
“Uuuh… I can’t… I can’t do it…”
She finally broke down in tears, no longer looking like a steady and composed powerful person, but rather like a fragile little girl.
“Ha ha ha ha! You deserve it!!”
Seeing this scene, Isabel couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Without a doubt, this was the most beautiful dialogue she had heard today.
Whether it was Dekan’s futile struggle.
Or the Ice Snow Princess’s cries.
All of it sounded like celestial music to her.
However, her laughter was quickly drowned out by another even more uninhibited laugh.
“Haha.”
Dekan finally couldn’t help it and burst out laughing while clutching his stomach.
The Ice Snow Princess’s crying and Isabel’s laughter suddenly stopped.
Only Dekan’s laughter echoed.
With a light-hearted step, he ran to Chloix, slapped hands with him, and then joyfully circled around Chloix and the Ice Snow Princess with open arms, just like celebrating the success of a prank.
