Runebelle focused her energy on her ice affinity and reached out to Roselle and Risebelle, attempting to transfer her elemental affinity to them. The process was challenging but Runebelle’s desire and the dire circumstances drove her to give it her all.

  As Runebelle trated on transferring her ice affinity to her sisters, a system notification suddenly appeared:

  [System Notification]

  Ability unlocked: Ice Element Transfer.

  The notificatiht a glimmer of hope to their dire situation.

  With the infusion of ice magito her system, Risebelle could feel the power c through her. She looked at Runebelle with widened eyes.

  “This is more than I thought, Runebelle,” Risebelle said

  “What are you going to do with it, Risebelle?” Runebelle said, her eyes refleg curiosity and hope.

  “In the previous world, elements use to have a cycle and I’ll bet it’s the same thing here. Fire melts ice, turning it into water. Water extinguishes fire. So, if I get An to melt all of the ice that I’ll create with your affinity, he’ll essentially be creating water. And guess what? My affinity is water. I trol and store it, which means I’ll have the upper hand.”

  Runebelle began to ask, “Where will you—”

  But before she could finish her question, Risebelle was already in motion, fog on her pn and eling the newfound ice affinity into a. The urgency of the situatio no time for a plete answer.

  An’s attack came r toward them, a colossal wave of scorg fmes that threateo engulf them entirely. The intense heat washed over Roselle, Risebelle and Runebelle, causing searing pain as they struggled to withstand the fiery assault.

  Risebelle, encased in her newly formed armor of ice, held firm against the onsught. She khat she o draw out all the ice magi Runebelle to execute her pn successfully.

  The fmes raged and Risebelle gritted her teeth, her body taking the full brunt of the assault as she reached deep within to access the stored ice affinity. She could feel the power surging within her, ready to be unleashed.

  As the fire and ice cshed, a fierce battle of elemental forces pyed out in the scorg inferno and Risebelle’s will burned as brightly as the fmes that threateo e them.

  An carried some frustration and fusion upon Risebelle’s as.

  “You want to call me an idiot… but if I’m su idiot then you are a great fool,” An decred, his eyes narrowing in suspi. “You know for a fact Ice magi’t wainst my fmes. So what’s yame, little miss? I know you’ve got something up your sleeve but this shit right here? This doesn’t make any sense.”

  As Risebelle’s ice magic flowed from her, she tly interrupted by the ice melting into water, leaving her momentarily stunned. Before she could react, An unleashed another searing stream of fire, catg her off guard. The intense fmes engulfed her and her lifeforce dwindled rapidly.

  [System Notification]

  Risebelle’s Lifeforce: 5%

  The system notification dispyed her critical dition and Risebelle could feel the scorg heat searing through her. She khat her lifeforce was dangerously low and her situation had bee dire.

  As Risebelle struggled uhe intense fire assault, her sisters, Roselle and Runebelle, rushed to her side. Runebelle prepared her healing shot to assist Risebelle but their efforts were abruptly thwarted by An’s swift and forceful intervention.

  “Risebelle!” Roselle cried out.

  Runebelle readied her healing shot in order to aid Risebelle but before she could admi, An’s shouted out.

  “Not this time!”

  With surprising speed, he closed the distaween them and kicked Runebelle away, sending her flying and then to the ground.

  The forest echoed with the collision of the kick, yet Runebelle made no sound. Risebelle, still reeling from the fmes, was left vulnerable and in critical dition.

  Runebelle’s body y motionless on the forest floor, her figure surrounded by a cloud of dust and debris from the impact. Roselle’s eyes widened in shod horror at the sight of her sister being knocked aside so callously. She was momentarily paralyzed, torween her desire to help Risebelle and her for Runebelle.

  Risebelle, still engulfed in the relentless fmes, struggled to maintain her focus. Her lifeforce tio dwindle and the pain was excruciating.

  Risebelle rose to her feet finally taking on a look with igrength in her eyes. She then took ier magic that had formed from the melted ice. The swirling currents of water encircled her, creating a protective barrier against the scorg fmes that An had unleashed upon her.

  An’s watched Risebelle rise from the ground with water magic swirling around her. His eyes narrowed with suspi atered, “This ’t be …. She ’t possibly be using her own affinity in this inferno!”

  Risebelle held onto her strength fiercely as the fmes surrounding them.

  An’s fusion deepened as he observed Risebelle harnessing her water affinity which previously struggled against the fmes. He excimed, “What the hell? What happeo your water affinity? It was so weak just moments ago… This doesn’t make sense!”

  Risebelle’s eyes shimmered with an intense aqua glow.

  “Normally, I only use this level of water affinity when I push my systems to the absolute limit, but with Runebelle’s help, I mao produce the water I o use this teique without destroying myself. Fire and ice are two sides of the same in the elemental world. When fire melts ice, it creates steam. But that steam denses and form puddles of water. In an enviro like this, where the heat is so intense, ice isn’t just melting—it’s transf, creating more water than you might expect.”

  An’s eyes widened. “Wait...”

  “With the fmes so fierce, the ice I create doesn’t just vanish—it morphs, amplifying my water magic. Runebelle’s magic allowed me to withstand the heat, and now I turn the fire’s own iy against it,” Risebelle tinued with a smile f on her lips. “The fme you trol have unwillingly became my ally.”

  Her body emanated a radiant aura of water magic, the energy swirling around her like a protective barrier.

  Risebelle’s newfound power surged within her and she could feel the aqua energy enveloping her like a protective shroud. With a gre, she turned her attention toward An, who watched her with surprise.

  “This is the true extent of my power, An,” Risebelle decred “I call upon the wrath of the elements to create a torrential downpour, a power I’ve named ‘Deluge Sea.’ It’s time to drown your fmes and despair in this relentless sea!”

  With those words, Risebelle unleashed her ultimate move and the skies darkened as clouds gathered with unnatural speed. Raindrops began to fall, slowly at first and then with increasing iy until they formed a deluge. The rain transformed inting river of dark magic, swirling around Risebelle as she stood firm against the tempest.

  The torrential downpour rushed forward with incredible force, heading straight for An, the fmes around him hissing and sputtering in the face of this overwhelming assault.

  An made one final desperate effort, eling his fire power into a single, mighty stream of fmes cshed with Risebelle’s Deluge Sea. The two immense forces collided in a cataclysmic battle of elements.

  The ground trembled beh them as the torrential rain cshed with the searing fmes. Steam billowed into the sky as the fire met the water and this created a spectacle of steam and steam hissing and billowing in every dire.

  For a brief moment, it seemed like the two forces were evenly matched as the powers warring against each other in a chaotic struggle. The forest around them shook as if caught in the surge of a great storm.

  But slowly, surely, the tide turned. Risebelle’s Deluge Sea proved to be an unstoppable force. The torrent of water and dark magic overwhelmed An’s fmes, extinguishing them one by oil there was nothi but the relentless downpour.

  With a final, triumphant roar, Risebelle’s Deluge Sea surged forward, enveloping An in its watery embrace. An’s desperate struggle against Risebelle’s Deluge Sea proved futile. The relentless downpulfed him, extinguishing his fmes and leaving him powerless against the overwhelming force of water and dark magic. He thrashed and fought against the torrent but it was clear that he was no match for the might of Risebelle’s attack.

  As the st remnants of the fmes were extinguished, An’s body became obscured by the rushing water and darkness. He lets out a loud scream but he was silenced by the uing current and he disappeared beh the surface, carried away by the powerful current.

  The forest, once a battleground of fire and magic, was now drenched and shrouded in mist, the aftermath of the intense csh between the elements. Risebelle stood amidst the p rain.

  [System Notification]

  Risebelle’s Lifeforce: 1%

  Magic: 5%

  The system notification dispyed Risebelle’s critically low lifeford with that she felt her strength vanish. Weakened and exhausted, she began to fall, her body succumbing to the immerain she had ehroughout the battle. However, before she could hit the ground, Roselle moved swiftly, catg her sister and preventing her from colpsing and possibly reag 0%.

  Roselle’s blue eyes held relief and as she supported Risebelle.

  Roselle trembled with as she spoke, “Risebelle, we o help Runebelle. She took a heavy hit from An’s kick.”

  Risebelle nodded weakly, Together, with Roselle’s support, they approached Runebelle. Risebelle checked Runebelle’s life force.

  [System Notification]

  Runebelle’s Lifeforce: 15%

  While Runebelle had taken a severe hit, her lifeforce remai a higher pertage than her sister.

  Risebelle managed a faint but reassuring smile despite her weakeate. She gently pced a hand on Runebelle’s shoulder and said, “Runebelle will be fine. She’s tough, just like us.”

  Roselle’s deepened as she g Risebelle’s critical dition. “But what about you, Risebelle? You only have 1% lifeforce left. We o do something about you...”

  Risebelle mustered a weak smile for her sister’s sake. “Don’t worry, Roselle. I’ll be fine,” she reassured.

  As they stood over Runebelle, Roselle’s gaze shifted from Risebelle to their younger sister. She watched Runebelle’s peaceful fad took a deep breath.

  Roselle’s eyes shimmered with admiration and gratitude as she gazed at Risebelle. “By the way, Risebelle, that attack was Super Awesome! I’ve never seen anything like it! I o get a cool attack like that!”

  Roselle’s words brought a flicker of pride to Risebelle’s tired eyes. She managed a weak but appreciative smile as she replied, “You haven’t? Idiot… I guess you really don’t remember then....”

  Risebelle’s mention of Roselle not remembering sparked curiosity in her younger sister. She gave a fusion look and asked, “Remember what, Risebelle?”

  Risebelle chuckled softly, still weak but filled with a fohat was evident even in her depleted state. “Never mind, Roselle. It’s not important right now. Let’s get ba the tanks and--”

  As Risebelle began to speak of returning to the tanks, her sentence tly interrupted by an ued development. She turo the side in shock, her weakened body tensed up with surprise.

  Roselle, notig her sister’s sudden ge in demeanor, asked with , “Risebelle, why do you look so shocked? What happened?”

  Risebelle’s eyes were wide as she poiowards the spot where An had been engulfed by the Deluge Sea. In the distance, a faint, flickering light emerged from the depths of the raging river created by her ultimate move. The light grew brighter with each passing moment, steadily drawing closer to their location.

  Risebelle could hardly believe her eyes. She whispered in astonishment, “Roselle, look... someone’s ing.”

  The two sisters watched curiosity and caution as the light approached, w who or what was on its way.

  As the flickering light drew nearer, it gradually revealed the figure of An, battered and weakened. His once fiery aura had faded entirely, leaving him gasping for breath. Despite his dire dition, he maintained a calm demeanor as he approached the sisters, who watched him with caution.

  An’s though straining to speak, carried a tone of admiration upon addressing them, “Impressive... You three... are... quite something...”

  Risebelle and Roselle exged gnces, still on guard but also intrigued by An’s ued rea. They had expected hostility or retaliation

  “He’s still alive…” Risebelle said, her eyes beginning to shut on her but she knew she couldn’t let them close now. Her body trembles as she sees the smirk on An’s face.
