Dimitri hastily puts his energy field back up and focuses on keeping it there while Ciana and Coralyinn fight. Ciana manages to perfectly match Coralyinn, unlike any of the others who previously went against her. Tsukumi goes around the area summoning daggers and sheathing them into the ground, forming a circle of daggers around us almost like a clock. Once she has all the daggers placed, she runs into Reine's protective shield and holds a hand up to the sky, simultaneously making all of the daggers she place glow silver. Rays of silver light connect to a point above Tsukumi and form a crescent moon in the air, waves of silver, white, and royal blue energy coming off of the crescent moon and spreading throughout the air.
"This should help to keep the area polarized from Coralyinn's winter," Tsukumi explains as she focuses on keeping the energy up.
I briefly wonder if I can absorb Coralyinn's power and use it against her like I did with Adrienne, but she seems much more skilled than Adrienne. She would probably kill me before I even got the chance to get close to her.
Ciana's fist collides with Coralyinn's hits on multiple occasions, fizzling them out and visibly angering Coralyinn. Meanwhile, Melantha stares down at her hands as she's still on the ground and now on her knees, her hands pressed flat against the stone street. She glances between her hands and the ground seems to shake in the entire street, sending multiple people off balance as she stands up and I'm able to see water swirling around her hands and coming up from underneath the now cracking street.
"Don't!" Ciana's eyes widen and she shouts as Melantha moves her arms back to the right and forcefully pushes forwards, aiming at Coralyinn.
Ciana leaps out of the way as Coralyinn smirks and holds out her gloved hand, her daggers danging from her left. Coralyinn makes a wide sweeping motion with her arm and the water freezes as it flies back at Melantha. Melantha's eyes widen and Nathan shouts for her to move as the frost reaches her and freezes her solid where she stands.
"Shit," Ciana breathes out as she climbs to her feet and looks at Melantha with wide eyes.
"Melantha!" Nathan shouts and goes to run forwards, but Ayette grabs on to his arm and attempts to stop him.
"Don't!" Ayette shouts, "that's asking to be murdered!"
Ciana runs up to Coralyinn and shouts, prompting to gain her attention. Coralyinn sharply glances over her shoulder before she holds out her right hand and summons another swarm of icicles that fly at Ciana. Ciana instantly reacts, jumping up in the air and holding her arms in front of her face, a sunset colored energy shield made of flames forming in front of her and protecting her as the icicles storm her, sending her flying backwards. I notice Coralyinn walking up to Melantha and I throw my katana as she raises her interlocking daggers. My katana slices perfectly between the daggers and breaks the chain connecting them before it lodges itself into a wooden post across the street.
Coralyinn appears unphased as she takes one of the daggers in her right hand and keeps one in the left, throwing the one in the right hand towards me as she lunges forward and sinks the dagger into Melantha's torso, cracking through the ice that froze her solid and making small chucks of ice fall to the ground around her feet. I swiftly move to the side, dodging the dagger for the most part as it slices a cut across my right bicep.
"Shit!" Reine shouts.
"Melantha!" Nathan shouts and struggles in Ayette's hold, and the breath leaves my lungs as I watch the scene before me.
Coralyinn's dagger glows bright blue as energy and water swirl around it and her left hand. The ice that froze Melantha solid slowls begins to melt and I can see blood spreading throughout the center where she was stabbed. Eventually, all the ice melts and Melantha gasps for air as she looks down at the dagger lodged in her. Energy stops swirling around the dagger and Coralyinn pulls it out as Ciana runs up behind her, yelling with her fist raised.
