As Elysia, the Blizzard Queen, stepped forward, the atmosphere shifted violently. Frost crackled in the air, charged with raw energy, and the wind howled like a feral beast, eager to devour everything in its path. The Godsworn felt the temperature plunge deep into their bones, as if the very essence of cold sought to freeze their spirits.
Alexander's breath escaped in visible puffs, his fingers tightening around his sword. "We don't have time for this! We need to reach the portal before it's too late!" His voice was muffled, swallowed by the relentless howl of the storm.
Elysia smirked, her icy blue eyes gleaming with cruel amusement. "You will not make it past me. Winter is eternal, and soon, you will be nothing more than frozen statues, forgotten by time." With a sweep of her hand, the blizzard intensified. Frost Storm raged around them, transforming the battlefield into a swirling maelstrom of biting winds and jagged ice. Visibility dropped to nearly zero, the Godsworn barely able to make out the shapes of one another.
Darian loosed an arrow into the storm, but the wind snatched it mid-flight, hurling it off course. "We can't even see her!" he shouted, frustration mounting as he nocked another arrow.
Aeris raised her arms, her voice a thin thread in the chaos. "I'll clear the air!" With a surge of magic, she summoned Leaf Storm, but the moment the leaves were caught in Elysia's blizzard, they froze, shattering into glittering shards of ice. Aeris gasped, staggering back. "Her cold... it's overpowering everything!"
Thalor's Aqua Shield shimmered weakly against the onslaught of ice and wind, cracks forming along its surface. "This storm... it's too much. She's draining us with it. If we don't do something soon, we'll be frozen where we stand." His voice faltered as he fought to stay upright, the cold gnawing at his core.
Selene attempted to weave illusions into the storm, her Heart of Illusion magic flickering as she tried to create decoys. But the frost clung to her magic, disrupting the visions before they could form fully. "The cold—it's breaking my spells before I can even cast them!"
Alexander's jaw clenched, his sword vibrating with barely contained energy. He called upon the heavens once more, summoning a bolt of Lightning's Fury. But even the skies seemed to cower before Elysia's power. The lightning flickered weakly before crashing harmlessly into the snow-covered ground, barely making a dent in the storm's fury.
Elysia's laughter echoed through the howling winds, mocking them. "Is this the might of the so-called Godsworn? You are nothing in the face of true power. Now, embrace your end—become ice, and be forgotten." With a graceful gesture, she conjured a massive Ice Lance, forming from the blizzard's wrath. The deadly projectile hurtled through the storm, aimed directly at Alexander's heart.
