Harem Tournament of Champions-Chapter 168 Wrath Of The Ice Queen
"A high priestess has a proficiency for a high-rank spell triggered by a zeal to be stronger and most especially 'not die' could unlock this side of her," Kritz explains with a shrug.
Hisha nods his head to the revelation, his interest suddenly piqued by the possibility of who would win between his favorite quartet once they evolved more than the destructive versions they already are.
"Finally, some good action, not that eye-sore of a duel at that first duel." Hisha cackles in joy at the new and improved Zui.
Pointing at her, he smiles as he praises her while taking a glance at Kritz. "Now that's some S rank magic.'
'S rank magic?' Kritz tilts his head in confusion at the strange word but chooses to keep it to himself.
Instead, he tries to deduce the meaning as something related to a high or advanced rank worth commending.
"Yes, my lord." Kritz agrees with a smile.

[Gore]
Crystal hisses as she looks at the remains of what was left of the lady that was caught in the blast.
Releasing her ice hold on the rest, she hopes they could serve as a distraction while she finds a way to get the upper hand
'I can't afford to get hit by the blast!' She thinks, her eyes searching her environment for possible ways she could counter getting her Sux drained if she gets in a rage with Zui.
Whoosh!
The surrounding ice breaks as Zui zooms to grab a hold of another harem member who is just trying to get her thoughts back together after the unfreeze.
As she is grabbed, the lady's green hair slowly turns gray and her body wrinkles as Zui absorbs not only her Sux but her life's essence.
'What the fuck is with my harem and surprises?!' Hisha screams in his thoughts, elevated by the intriguing display Zui was showcasing.
[I will take that as a pleasant response to all that's going on]
'It sure as hell is, with their diversity, it not only adds to my abilities but also a greater chance at their monstrous abilities evolving far greater than this they are displaying.'
[You have broad thinking, host]
Nodding his head in excitement, Hisha subconsciously pulls Kritz to kneel beside him while he pats his head.
Kritz kneels, frozen in shock by the display but also quiet as he lets it slide if this was a new method of his lord being pleased with the abilities of his harem.
'You can take this embarrassment, Kritz. No one can call you out for it since it's the overlord.' He repeatedly told himself this as he looked straight ahead.
Hisha's hand pauses as he stiffly turns his attention to Kritz. Immediately retracting his hand, he stares at Kritz with bulging eyes. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂
Quick to hide his reactions, he pats Kritz on the back and orders him to get to his feet.
"Is my lord, pleased?" Kritz questions with a little smile.
Hisha winces at the words, condemning his thoughts for going a little out of line and crossing the dirt paths.
In a bid to correct his thinking, he responds specifically. "It was comforting to touch your hair while I was blinded by excitement."
Kritz nods and turns his attention back to the arena.

Thud!

[Destruction]
The frail body of the lady crashes onto the wall before she falls down face flat.
Zui looks over to the lady, contemplating if she should kill her off or just let her be till she tries to regain her strength and ultimately her Sux.

Two throwing stars slash across the neck of the lady, killing her instantly.
Vanas couldn't help but burst into laughter at the display of the repeated backstabbing and bloodshed.
"When you think you have it rough, always remember there are others who are out there seeking to have your neck slit." He jokes, throwing his legs up as he burst into a peal of crazed laughter.
The other tribal chiefs facepalms in unison at the embarrassing display from Vanas.
Speaking through grit teeth, "is there like no day you blurt out stupidity?"
Vanas lets off a satisfied smile, shaking his head and not caring about what the others think of him.
"I would rather live life heartily than a stiff, boring, high, and mighty life." He hisses and spits to the side.
"Watch it you fool!" Wae barks, adjusting in his chair to avoid the trail of spit down the leg of his chair.
Hisha let out a low chuckle, suddenly amused by their normal behavior of brothers bickering at one another.
Kritz glares at Aster who returns the same gloomy look with much ferocity.
Something wasn't right with the minotaur tribal chief, and he could feel it in his bones.
[How about you watch something much more interesting?]
'Like what?'
Pointing an arrow ahead, Hisha instantly felt like a fool for getting distracted while his harem was battling it out for their life.

"Come on! Let's show them how we slaughter!" Crystal screams at the top of her lungs, immediately cackling as she runs toward Zui.
Zui on the other hand had her neck tilted to her right, slightly confused by the murderous intent.
"It's best you don't come close to me." She warns, pointing at an approaching Crystal.
All she had truly wanted was to give them all strikes so they could be disqualified–not killed.
Bringing her hands upward, she had in a neck grip, the lady who had killed the previous she had drained of her Sux.
Whispering into the lady's ear, "would you want to live by my side or die by hers?"
The lady slowly opens her eyes, groaning and stiffly tilting her head in the direction of Crystal.
Before her lips could move to make her choice, Zui sneered. "Too slow."
She proceeds to fling her in the direction of Crystal.
At the same moment, Crystal releases the ice spikes from her hands and arms as she begins to roll out of the ring.
Shluk!
Shluk!
The ice that pierces her body liquidizes and spreads out around the corpse.
Crrrk!
Crrk!
Tiny crack marks appear all over the body before exploding into tiny red pieces of frozen chunks of flesh.

[Gore]
The last lady who had hidden underneath some of the corpses let out a scream as she witnessed the chunks falling directly on top of her.
The majority of the crowd let out a collective 'ooof!' as they watch chunks of frozen flesh fall into her mouth.
This only seems to boost her screams in horror as she realized her cover had been blown, it was only a matter of time before Zui or Crystal would get to her first.
[That wasn't a smart move]
'You don't say...' Hisha replies rather sarcastically, already giving up on the lady after realizing how much of a coward she truly could be.
His mind travels back to the time the arena had been attacked, if he didn't know any better he would have been doubtful of her fleeing the scene then.
But from what he had witnessed, he could have almost sworn that she and the rest of the others had willfully chosen to save their skin and not display their ability.
This was a grim reminder of what his tribal chiefs had done to the selection process.
'Beauty with no brawns.'
Zui looks to her side and spots the lady who had mixed with the surrounding bodies.
'A chameleon tribe.' Zui chuckles in her thoughts at how crazy the plan was but also how well it would have been if she hadn't been able to sense her presence.
Crystal's attention was also drawn as she charged at the easy target. It was either she kills her or Zui gets to her first.
Whoosh!
The ground erupts and cracks under the impact as the ground shakes violently beneath her feet.
Whoosh!
Zui zooms in pursuit of getting to their sole underrated opponent first.
The lady pushes the body off hers, jumping up in a panic and narrowly escaping the ice claws aimed at her.
Getting to her feet, she crouches and throws up onto the floor.
The puke mixed with blood and water had Hisha's lips drawn into a thin line. 'Yes, death. That would atone for the shit I just witnessed.'
Bam!
The lady gasped at the kick to her stomach, sending her tumbling to the floor before she crashed into the wall.
|Raw carnage level~174%+5%|
[Destruction]
'Yes!' Hisha internally rejoices at the retribution dished out for him.
Crystal screams in rage at missing her kill once more. The kick Zui had done, drastically reduced the Sux of their opponent but also had her flying away from the ice projectiles she had fired.
"Beware the wrath of the ice queen!" She yells with a warning, pointing directly at Zui.
