"Technique Deployment: Destructive Death - Compass Needle!" A twelve-pointed snowflake pattern unfolded beneath Akaza's feet, emitting a faint blue glow.
"Domain Expansion: Frosty Sky, Wintry Snow." At the same time, Doma also imitated Akaza's posture and stomped on the ground. A pure white ice crystal snowflake bloomed from his center, instantly freezing a large area.
Seeing Doma's identical movement, a vein popped on Akaza's forehead, and his heart was instantly unsettled. "Ahaha, this really doesn't suit me," Doma scratched his hair with his left hand, an embarrassed smile on his face. He swung the fan in his right hand down sharply, scattering a large cloud of white ice mist, causing the snowflake under his feet to grow and spread again, covering an even wider area.
Invisible, fine ice crystals quickly filled the air, instantly pervading everywhere and bringing an extreme cold. Akaza looked at his clenched right fist. He could feel it; an invisible killing intent filled the air, causing a dense, needle-like stinging sensation all over his body. The cold air he breathed in felt like it was tearing his lungs apart. But for a demon, this pain and damage were insignificant.
"Fine ice crystals in the air? Is he sensing through this?" Akaza quickly made a judgment and, at the same time, shot forward, rapidly closing in on Doma and throwing a punch at his face.
Doma leaned back, effortlessly dodging the blow, and elegantly waved the fan in his right hand, spreading a large cloud of white ice crystals. "Blood Demon Art: Freezing Clouds."
Feeling his skin freeze and a slight stiffness in his arm movements, Akaza advanced instead of retreating. He completely ignored the cold mist around him, raised his arm high, and the layer of ice on his skin shattered with his movement. "Destructive Death: Disorder!" His fists suddenly became a blur, striking at Doma with incredible speed.
"Blood Demon Art: Barren Garden of Hanging Snow." Doma's desire to play in close combat was stirring, so he didn't dodge. Instead, he quickly waved the fans in both hands, which carried curved icicles. Relying on the perception of the ice crystals in the air, he managed to defend against the flurry of punches for a time. But Akaza's extremely high punch speed and fierce power quickly dispersed the surrounding sensory ice crystals, and also created an opening in his defense.
Doma only had time to cross the fans in front of his chest before he was sent flying by two punches. He slid a long way on the ice-covered floor before he could stabilize himself. "Oh my, that chaotic flurry is really amazing!" he praised with a smile, then showed a pitiful expression. "I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."
"I didn't hit him..." Akaza expertly ignored Doma's words. "My fists all landed on his fans!"
"When he couldn't defend, he actively slid away to create distance... Were all my movements perceived?" He silently raised his fists and, facing the distant figure, punched hard into the empty air at an invisible speed. "Destructive Death: Air Type!"
The invisible shockwaves tore through the air and also touched the fine ice crystal powder in the air. Doma sensed the incoming attack and leaped lightly towards the nearby wall, dodging all the straightforward shockwaves. An exquisite cluster of lotuses and leaves appeared under his feet, firmly fixing his feet to the wall. He crouched sideways on the wall's surface. "An invisible attack! Lord Akaza, you're too amazing! I almost got hit~" Doma praised with great emotion.
Watching Akaza's rapidly approaching figure, he quickly waved his fans. Ah, I really can't play close combat~ "Blood Demon Art: Wintry Icicles."
The Compass Needle sensed the danger below. Akaza paused, and in an instant, leaped high into the air. A cluster of sharp icicles shot up from the ground where he had just stood, dense enough to turn a person into a sieve. "Watch out!" Doma smiled brightly and waved his fan again. Dozens of icicles whistled down from above Akaza's head.
Still in mid-air, Akaza punched upwards at high speed, shattering all the icicles above him, and landed on the floor with a flip. He had just taken two steps forward when another cluster of icicles shot up from under his feet. Akaza leaped to the side with a bang, but before his feet could land, a dozen more icicles appeared at his landing spot. He twisted his waist in mid-air to change his posture and kicked hard at the ground, sweeping away the sharp icicles. But the icicles that appeared out of thin air above him followed closely behind.
For a time, Akaza was forced to dodge left and right by the icicles appearing from the ground and the air. Every step he took could be met with an ambush of icicles. Although these icicles were not a great threat to him, he couldn't just let them pierce his body, or he would face a storm of continuous attacks. If he didn't want to be quickly defeated, he could only dodge or shatter them! But in this way, he couldn't get close to the distant Doma at all.
"Damn it! He's predicting my movements with his perception ability and then blocking my path with these omnipresent icicles..."
"I can't get close to him! His speed is very fast, and he can avoid long-range attacks!"
"The ice on the ground is very slippery. I need to use more force to stand firm, so I can't use my full speed. If I stay in one place for a moment, my feet will be frozen..."
"What a disgusting ability..." The corner of Akaza's mouth twitched as he punched and shattered an icicle that had pierced his left arm. The area around the wound was completely frozen, which slowed his body's excellent recovery speed and briefly made his left arm's movements stiff.
"How is it, how is it, Lord Akaza? Isn't it fun?" Doma's cheerful voice came through.
Akaza's face grew even darker. Alright, an annoying guy with an annoying ability. That's normal.
"Since my every move is being perceived..." he looked at the exquisite and dense snowflake-shaped ice crystals on the ground, "then I'll just destroy it!"
"This perception ability relies on the ice crystals in the air for sensing, which are continuously replenished by the ice layer on the ground..." His extremely rich combat experience allowed him to quickly make an accurate judgment.
Akaza crouched down, then leaped high from his spot, swinging a fierce punch down from above. "Crush Style: Ten Thousand Leaves, Flashing Willow!" The fist struck the ground heavily. A huge shockwave suddenly erupted, sweeping away all the ice crystals in the surrounding air. A web of fine cracks also appeared on the ground, and the ice crystals covering it were all sent flying.
"Eh—what a beautiful move. It's like a blooming firework," Doma blinked his eyes at the scene, tilting his head with an innocent smile. "Lord Akaza, you're so smart and amazing."
"But this still isn't enough~" he chuckled and continued to create icicles. The perception from Hisōten is still active.
Akaza was forced to stop again, fluently dealing with the icicles while his expression grew more and more solemn. "It's no use? No, his perception is not as precise as before!" He looked up at the icicles in mid-air, which were slightly off-kilter. "In other words, the ability to sense my thoughts is still there!"
Just then, Doma also grew tired of this game and stopped creating icicles. He stomped his foot, and a brand-new snowflake ice crystal bloomed under him, extending towards the area that had been destroyed by Akaza. "Mmm, maybe I can find some children to repair it. That would be faster."
"Blood Demon Art: Crystalline Divine Children~"
Several ice dolls, holding fans, ran out in all directions with light steps. With each step, a small snowflake-shaped ice crystal bloomed under their feet. The Divine Children waved their ice fans, and a cold, white cloud spread out everywhere. The ground was soon completely covered with large and small snowflake patterns. At the same time, Akaza also took the opportunity to close in on Doma.
