The Unfettered Ice Princess [ EN ]

Chapter 67 [ Smoke Fire ]

Time moves quickly. The audience is thrilled by the epic scenes. The camera that focuses on the three Avatars in the Labyrinth changes.

When the camera panned to Delta, Lord Durren's Avatar, people were curious about what kind of tricks she would pull out. Given that Delta always uses various assassin tricks and strategies to get past every obstacle.

When the camera panned to Ophelia, Madam Lin's Avatar, people are always excited and thrilled with every fight. Compared to other Avatars, Ophelia's skills and techniques seem to be more numerous. Add to that Madam Lin's blatant display of her slave, the Calliope Family Lady, and people are even more curious about the behind-the-scenes story.

Moreover, because Ophelia's eyes always lead her to paths that are not overtly displayed (hidden paths), the excitement of the audience increases.

Of course, as the only Ruler who chose to enter the labyrinth on her own, instead of wearing an Avatar, Envy got just as much attention.

While Delta displayed tricks and Ophelia displayed techniques, Envy displayed absolute power over her enemy. Although in a much lower version, all the skills Envy used, the Nova control she exercised and the ability to utilize the environment she applied, were all at the Ranker level. How could there be an audience that wasn't interested.

Envy always picked big points in difficult questions and trap questions. Then she would utilize the strong monsters that came out in the hard questions to escape easily in the trap questions. This was much harder than killing those monsters.

Even Naeva agreed that Envy's moves were efficient and there were no wasted moves.

Wary of each other's abilities, starting from the middle of the maze, the fight between the three rulers began.

Madam Lin would utilize Calliope's Harmony Golden Eye power to lead the opposing team to a hidden door of unreasonable difficulty. Or utilize monsters beyond Iingga's ability to hinder the opponent.

Lord Durren and Delta set additional traps in front of each door on the other side that they did not pass through. While they weren't life-threatening, they were inconvenient traps that took time to get through.

To a casual onlooker, all the attacks from the two of them looked random with no specific target. Those who were careful, however, would realize that they were actually directed at Envy. All of their attacks had counters when aimed at each other, but especially when it came to Envy, they were more carefully designed.

To make matters worse, not once or twice did the two rulers deliberately put their Avatars in dangerous situations in front of Envy, cause she will help them.

Thanks to that, both of them were much closer to the finish than Envy.

"Damn... This is why keep up the image is sucks..." Envy complained wearily.

"So what? You've always lived like that, Vif. Keep up the image whenever and wherever. Role-playing like this has become a part of your life, right?"
To Envy's annoyance, it was as if she could hear the real Envy laughing at her like that.

Envy grinned in annoyance.
"Right, yeah, you're right. I've always lived like that."

"Playing the cool, straight and reliable Envy is quite troublesome. It feels like my movements are limited. But... Yeah, again, you're right. My life that has always been like that is just as limited."

"There's no point in complaining."

The woman took a deep breath.
"Okay, calm yourself Rouge Vif..."
