New Beginning 17: Souls of Intellect

[Philote]

Mina strikes and instantly freezes a patch on the bottom of the star, giving her a space to push the star back. The star begins to slow down, but continues forward due to its momentum. Freezing slowly as well due to how incredibly large the star is.

Next I use Sol's Core, a person whose data manipulation nearly outshines my own. From his Core, I fire out data orbs that act like the cores of people from my race, acting like homing missiles to track down the clone Bugs and eventually, the original Bug.

(Shirayuki, that is like Sarabi for Marv right?)

I teleport next to Mina and finish my spell.

"Winter wonderland!" I sing and the star starts to freeze up 20 times faster than before.

Mina asks, "What is that spell?"

I respond, "Aurum once used that spell to freeze a supernova in place so it should work on this star. We can always unfreeze it at the end of the battle and send it back to where it came from."

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

Wait, Bug named his sword "White Snow?"

What's Shirayuki do?

Mina: "What are those things in his hand?"

"I think they are cores. Power sources."

Mina: "Well, then next phase!"

She dashes forward this time with her brass knuckles set to nearly 0Kelvins in order to freeze the star as I prepare yet another spell.

(You can't.. You can't.. )

Meanwhile, the Comet Homunculi begin to make use of their speed and agility.

They dart towards Phi, then away, trying to detect any defenses he may have.

Meanwhile, Magic Minions begin to weave themselves into abjurations and wards. These wards cling to the nearby reapers.

Taking that as a cue, these skeletal reapers advance slowly, obviously burdened by the sheer weight of the magic in the wards.

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(Obviously Mina can as with her Soulsword in its Ultimate Form, she's immune to fire, heat, ice, cold, and all elemental harm.)

[Zaleramancer]

(How do you freeze something that's 5778 K? Barring an ocean of liquid helium or something.)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(Mina's got her brass knuckles at nearly 0 Kelvins and is giving off the waste heat behind her.)

[Zaleramancer]

(Tell me, can a snowflake freeze an ocean of fire?)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

(It's magic, ain't it?)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(Nope, but that's in ordinary physics... Actually, wait. I think quantum physics considers it to be possible if you stop anything from measuring it but it's highly unlikely. We're talking about magic and souls for this 'cause it's Mina's Soulsword doing this!)

[Zaleramancer]

(It's less that she can do said thing, than she is. I mean, I could go around one-hitting all our foes but I don't. There's no fun if you massacre everything with ease..)

[Tsubasa & Wen Tien]

(Mina didn't one-hit the star. I let Philote choose the response to her attack.)

[Celadon's Penultimate]

(True. Perhaps she should tone it down a bit.)
