Amidst the chaos, Kaguya, Alise, and Ryu dashed towards the exit, their eyes locked on Alfia's retreating figure. Desperation fueled their movements, but as they neared the exit, a chill ran down their spines. Alfia had sensed their approach.

Alfia: Using others as mere distractions, coupled with a smoke bomb? Quite a deviation from your so-called Familia of justice. How hypocritical.

Her voice dripped with disdain as she swung her staff toward their fleeting forms. A sinister smile curled on her lips as she began to chant, her voice resonating with cold malice.

Alfia: Freeze Trap!

In an instant, sharp ice burst from the ground, ensnaring Alise, Kaguya, and Ryu. The icy spikes wrapped around their legs, locking them in place, their breath visible in the frigid air.

Alfia: Stay put.... I have some unruly children to discipline first.

Her gaze flickered back to the others, still ensnared in the chaos of Kaguya's smoke bomb, their frantic movements and confused shouts like music to her ears.

Ryu: I-I can't move!

Her voice trembled as she struggled against the ice, her movements frantic and desperate. She drew her sword, striking at the ice with all her strength, but the blade merely glanced off the surface, leaving no mark.

Kaguya: Alise! Your magic! Quickly! 

She said with a lace of urgency, her own struggles proving futile.

Alise: Right!

Alise responded, her mind racing as she began to chant, drawing on every ounce of her remaining strength. Her voice, steady and determined, filled the air as she called upon her magic.

Alise: Agaris Alvesynth!

In an instant, flames ignited along Alise's leg and sword, the fire flickering like a beacon in the surrounding cold. She gripped her burning sword with trembling hands, determination etched on her face, and began striking the ice that bound her legs.

Alise: I-I can't!

Her voice cracked with frustration as her blade met the ice, each strike sending a shockwave through her arm, but the ice barely budged. The flames licked at the frozen surface, but the ice clung stubbornly to her, resisting her efforts.

Kaguya: Your magic's not working?!

Kaguya's voice was sharp with disbelief, her own heart sinking at the sight of Alise's struggle.

Alise: No... I can feel it melting slowly... But at this pace, it's gonna take forever for this to break!

Her voice wavered, the realization of their dire situation weighing heavily on her. The fire on her legs flickered dimly, fighting a losing battle against the encroaching ice.

Kaguya: It's better than nothing, so keep at it!

Kaguya's words were firm, but there was a hint of desperation in her tone. She knew time was running out.
