Physics The Greatest Magic

The crew members began to shout and do their best to convince and stop the pirate. Even if it meant selling their pride and begging, their captain\'s life was much more Important than that.

The captain who saw this, grit his teeth before shouting.

"YOU IDIOTS! WORRY ABOUT YOURSELVES!" 

"You\'ll hand me the valuables? Let him go? Why should I do that? What\'s more, now that you\'ve gone through the effort of asking me not to… It\'s just made me want to do it even more…" The pirate said so clearly as he couldn\'t help but contain his smile.

\'Shit… I don\'t mind dying but… Just like me, they all have families to return to… If I die now, what chance will we have…?\' He wondered. A smile was then formed on his face as he then thought. \'Guess I\'ll have to use \'that\'… It might end up killing me, but I\'m dead either way.\'

The pirate then quickly swung his sword as he looked at the face of despair formed on the crew members.

\'After this, we\'ll kidnap the girls and sell them. They should fetch high prices along with the valuables. Even after we\'ve had our fun…\' The pirate leader thought to himself

It was over. The feeling of satisfaction would have been just like that of finding a great treasure. That was until he realized, there was no slash.

"Huh?" 

Confused, the captain noticed that his swing had been stopped, by cloaked individual\'s fingertips. 

How long had that cloaked individual been standing there? When did he get there? How did he not notice him sooner?

Such questions flooded the pirate leader\'s mind as he failed to notice another cloaked individual walk past him.

The person stood on the bridge and then lowered the hood of their cloak. Displaying moderately long silver hair with golden edges and silver eyes with a hint of gold in them.

"Serena, what should I do with this guy?" The cloaked person asked as he held on tightly to the pirate\'s blade with his finger tips. A masculine voice.

"Do as you wish. I\'ll deal with the ice monster." Said Serena.

"Hahaha… HAHAHAHA! ARE YOU CRAZY!? YOU REALLY THINK YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO BEAT AN A-RANK MONSTER?! KILL THEM!! KILL THEM ALL BlIZZARD-"

His sentence was interrupted as he fell over to the ground. Multiple cut wounds had been sustained on his body before he even accounted to them. When the pain receptors finally realized it. It all came in at once, and in the most excruciating way possible.

"GAAAHHHH!!" The leader of the pirates shouted as he grit his teeth

It was too painful, he could do nothing but lay there and watch. The other pirates who saw this, didn\'t know what to do. More importantly, they didn\'t know what he could do.

The captain of the ship was also confused, he hadn\'t even seen the movement and yet.

"I cut all your vitals and stabbed your pressure points." The cloaked man muttered as he sat on the pirate leader who laid motionlessly with his whole body trembling on the floor\'s back.

His eyes had rolled back from the excruciating pain alone. He had fainted.

\'What am I looking at right now. What\'s been happening today? In all my years, I\'ve never seen this. Perhaps we do stand a chance of winning.\'

"That\'s what I\'d like to say… But…"

The captain began to tremble as he looked over at the blizzard princess. 

The captain\'s thought was interrupted as the cloaked man told him.

"Don\'t worry. She\'ll deal with them."

\'Huh? Is this person crazy? Deal with a blizzard princess alone? Is that possible? Even though it  was given an A-Rank, it can use high level spells which make it harder to deal with than some S-Rank and yet…\'

The man in the cloak then noticed the other pirates approach while trying to  conceal their presence. 

"Fools…" He muttered as he let out a sigh.

[Void step]

The cloaked man then vanished from his spot. His movements once again too fast to be seen. However in that instant, one thing was incredibly obvious for the human eyes.

All the pirates who had been approaching them, dropped at the same moment. Each with a stab wound precisely in it\'s heart. Despite that, there was no blood. The crew captain couldn\'t believe it, much less see it. He was dumbfounded.

In that very same moment, the blizzard princess began making it\'s move. Since it was released from his control, his very last order was heard clearly and directly transfered to it\'s mind as a will. The magic power in the dead pirate\'s body then transfered to the blizzard princess, allowing for a troublesome process to occur.

Flowers of ice began forming on it\'s own around the air as snow began to fall at a much stronger rate. Thunder began to strike around as the storm had now reached them.

The Blizzard princesses appearance began to change. The robe it wore became much more defined with many different patterns going through it. It grew a foot taller in height and now had a crown on it\'s head, unlike before. 

It had evolved. It was now a blizzard empress

The seas had gotten much more powerful and out of control as the waves crashed into the boats making it seem as if they were going to fall over as they destroyed the ice path which had been previously made by the blizzard princess.

Now that it had evolved and was free from the clutches of human control, it could finally let loose, thinking that there would be no human that would be able to stop it. It now held a deep resentment for having been controlled.

It then noticed the boat ahead of it and thought of it as a perfect opportunity to get rid of the resentment. The resentment grew even stronger when it noticed the body of the pirate who had been controlling her laying there.

Filled with rage, the blizzard empress let out an ear-piercing scream as she opened her mouth. 

*SCREEEEEECH!*

It was so loud that the crew members and passengers on the deck were forced to their knees. 

Following that, without any magic circle forming. Countless ice lances began to form and manifest themselves around the ship.  There were over 20, they were long and big. There was no path or way to escape from it.

Because of the climate, the strength of the ice got stronger as the bottom of the ship began to freeze. 

But that Blizzard empress was not finished. A large magic circle was formed in the sky, directly above the crew\'s ship.

It\'s size spoke for itself. What was going to come out was big. 

The blizzard empress had no need for chants. It raised it\'s right arm and the tip of a incredibly large, red ice spike could be seen. It was the size of the whole ship.

Once it had completely manifested itself. The blizzard empress lowered her Haydn and they were all propelled at the ship.

\'Shit- In the end nothing changed-\' 

The crew captain was interrupted as a bright glow came from the middle of the ship. 

"I feel like I\'m being forgotten…" Muttered Serena as she snapped her fingers.

In that instant, red magic circles were formed all around the ship. They weren\'t formed at random but rather, each one accurately formed ahead of each and every ice lance.

The Ice lances which went into contact with these circles, completed evaporated, letting out an abundance of steam.

Following that, another large red magic circle was formed above the ship just beneath the giant Ice spike. But it failed. It broke into pieces allowing the ice spike to go through it.

"If that\'s the case…"

[Scorching Sun] 

A blinding light, lit up the whole boat. It was so bright that normal eyes wouldn\'t have been able to see what was happening. However, the blizzard empress saw it clearly. The snow and ice drops from the rain had started to melt. Not just that, but all the ice around as a heat-wave was released.

The climate had a whole other feeling to it. 

A large sphere of pure golden flames could be seen. It\'s appearance was grand and it truly resembled the sun. It was formed just beneath the giant ice spike. 

The moment there was contact, it completely evaporated.

As this happened, Serena quickly made her way over to the blizzard empress.

The blizzard empress couldn\'t believe it, she didn\'t want to believe it. It\'s pride didn\'t allow it.

It\'s target was Serena, it was somehow able to trace that the magic was coming from her. Because of this, she became her target.

[Ice dragons]

Ice in the shape of a dragon head, rose out from the water, making it\'s way towards Serena. They were large and the presence was overwhelming. But Serena didn\'t falter.

She snapped her fingers once more, and fire in the shape of dragons head also formed in the air, targeting the ice dragons.

[Flame dragons]

The spells canceled each other out after making contact, and Serena got on top of the bridge.

Countless magic circles were formed in the air around them. Ice spears, Ice lances ice tridents all manifested themselves. Chains of ice were formed and propelled straight at Serena. A large ice shark leapt out of the water from beneath the bridge with it\'s mouth wide open, aiming to take Serena\'s life.

But it was all futile. 

"Sacred flames." Serena muttered.

[Golden Heat Wave]
