Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Frost Star: “…”

Frost Star paused for a moment, pondering the meaning of Tallulah's words. Suddenly, she raised her cross-shaped staff, which resembled a sword or dagger. "Let's fight!"

Tallulah: “?”

"If you can defeat me, I will grant your request."

Chapter 36 Frost Star vs. Tallulah

Before Tallulah could ask any more questions, Froststar had already instructed the Snow Monster team behind her to use the Originium devices on their backs to amplify themselves.

Frost Star itself also began to expand its magical power.

Layers of frost condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the temperature in the atmosphere began to feel a chill.

Except for the Yeti Squad who had already adapted, the vast majority of the infected people present clearly sensed the cold change in the atmosphere.

Tallulah frowned slightly and looked at Froststar in confusion: "Do we have to fight?"

"Of course, your ideals are special. But the law of the wilderness is the survival of the fittest. If you want me to believe your ideas, you can only defeat the rules of conduct we learned in the wilderness." Frost Star said rationally.

Hearing this, Tallulah no longer entertained the idea of ​​avoiding the fight. She simply drew the rapier from her waist. With a 'swish' sound, a layer of cold light covered the blade.

Tallulah's eyes turned solemn. "If I need to defeat you to see you, then I understand."

As she finished her words, red dragon fire rose from the blade, quickly bringing warmth to this extremely cold area. Tallulah fixed her gaze on Froststar, "I will not hold back. This is something I must strive for on my path."

Frost Star snorted, and several ice cones condensed behind him, responding with the best action.

shhhhhh!

Several soft cracks echoed from mid-air, and the icicles, carrying a narrow arc of freezing air, struck straight at Tallulah. Tallulah reacted quickly, grasping the flaming sword in one hand and slashing a semicircular fan of flames across her body.

"Huff", in an instant the flames illuminated half of the field and melted the surrounding ice, causing a large amount of water to drip out. As the water stains were dissolved by the high temperature, hissing white smoke emerged.

Several ice cones melted and vaporized on the spot after being slashed by Tallulah's sword in mid-air.

"You're quite good." Although the attack failed, Frost Star did not show any regret on her face. Instead, she praised Tallulah's method.

She slowly opened the gloves under the sleeves of the Snow Monster Team and pulled out the staff with the Originium device from her arms. Frost Star smiled at Talulah, which made the latter alert immediately.

Before Tallulah could react, the ice cone she had previously cut off and vaporized by the flames left a white mist, as did the water droplets on the surrounding ground melted by the flames, and even the water vapor evaporating in the air...

They were controlled by Frost Star's magic and converged towards the same place.

Tallulah could clearly feel the biting cold coming from under her feet, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Even the fire in her hands could not quickly dispel the cold.

Click, click, click!

The sound of frost condensing spread from Tallulah's feet, quickly freezing her boots and fusing them to the ground. Then, the bone-chilling cold spread from her feet to her legs, and from her legs to her waist.

At a speed visible to the naked eye, Talulah's entire lower body had been frozen into pure white, and as the ice solidified, it was threatening to spread from the waist to the upper body at any time.

Frost Star's ice spell was clearly aimed at freezing Tallulah's entire body!

"The big sister is still as powerful as ever." Petrova of the Snow Monster Team exclaimed.

Yangge, a member of the Yeti Squad, said: "It's a natural result. Although the power of ice and fire magic is still unknown, the name of the leader 'Winter Scar' has long been known in the frozen lands of the North."

"Boss..."

The infected people who followed Tallulah couldn't help but look worried at this scene.

Alina also clenched her hands, worried that Tallulah would be frozen into an ice sculpture because of such a challenge. She subconsciously grabbed Fan Yu's sleeve beside her and stared nervously ahead, "Mr. Sun."

"She was careless. But Tallulah has been doing well in the past few months, so I'm not surprised by this." Fan Yu said this with a smile, but his tone was also full of confidence in Tallulah.

In the field, Tallulah looked down at the frozen frost that was restraining her feet, a trace of shame appearing on her face.

She did relax.

But this is not a reason to become so embarrassed.

There seemed to be a voice in Tallulah's heart, telling her what to do next, and at the same time, that voice also told her the reason why this layer of ice could freeze so quickly.

The ice in the atmosphere had indeed been vaporized by her flames into liquid and mist, but this also created a natural location for Frost Star to release the Frost Field. Tallulah thought.

Of course, the more important thing is the auxiliary source stone devices carried on Frost Star's back. That kind of thing replaces the possibility of rapid coverage by its spells.

"you……"

Frost Star did not respond to her words. A layer of ice quickly covered the palm of her right hand. She held an ice knife with transparent frost condensed on it and walked quickly towards Tallulah.

Frost Star seized this rare opportunity to restrict the opponent and planned to end the confrontation between the two.

She gripped the ice blade tightly and arrived in front of Tallulah in a flash. Facing the screams of the people around her, Frost Star's ice blade slashed at Tallulah's neck without hesitation.

Although this was a battle without any hatred, Frost Star had no intention of holding back.

From the moment Tallulah confirmed her intention to make her listen, the two had reached a silent understanding. Without the determination to kill her, there was no way she could bear the burden of those who claimed to have changed the infected.

Seeing that the attack was about to penetrate Tallulah's neck in the next moment, the ice knife had begun to condense tiny ice crystal fragments from Tallulah's hair as it approached her face.

This ice blade, which condenses a large amount of Frost Star's magical energy, can be called a weapon with an "extreme cold" effect.

however--

Just when Frost Star's attack was about to succeed, the frost restraining Tallulah's feet suddenly cracked.

Red dragon fire rose from Tallulah's feet, quickly shattering the ice crystals that froze her body. The high temperature that burned the matter in the air, with the breath of sulfur, shattered the surrounding cold.

In an instant, the extremely cold area was replaced by a fiery red zone.

Tallulah faced the ice blade coming from the front and struck back with the long sword in her hand.

There was a click.

The ice knife in Frost Star's hand broke on the spot.

Chapter 37 "Red Dragon Fire"

A chill emanated from Tallulah's face.

The condensed ice crystals vaporized in the flames, and the slender sword destroyed the ice blade, breaking into two pieces and falling to the ground.

Before Froststar could prepare to condense a new ice blade, Tallulah had already placed the weapon across her neck, and a burning metallic sensation was transmitted from the skin of her neck.

"You lose," Tallulah said.

Frost Star's expression remained in shock at this moment. She stared blankly at the broken part of the ice knife in her hand, where only the handle remained. She was a little dazed for a moment: "..."

From frost to flame, it was like an instant overturning, changing the color of the ruined earth.

Even the Snow Monster team standing behind Frost Star, who watched the entire battle as bystanders, were shocked by the speed of the change.

By the time they came back to their senses from the physical sensations of frost and fire, they had already seen their big sister's ice blade being cut off by Tallulah.

Yang Ge from the Snow Monster Team looked at the red dragon fire that filled the field in shock: "The spell was completely suppressed."

"The ice knife of the big sister can condense magical energy to freeze everything. We have never seen it break..." Pietrová felt unbelievable.

The snow monsters grew up together, so they are very aware of how powerful the magic power of the Frost Star Big Sister is. In the entire frozen snowfields of the North, their Big Sister is also at the top of the pyramid as a magician.

However, facing the unfamiliar Drake, he was suppressed so easily.

In the field.

Frost Star was silent for a while, sheathed his weapon, and gave up his fighting stance: "It seems you are well prepared..."

Tallulah's attitude was very humble: "I took advantage of it. It seems that you had a fierce battle before I arrived."

She stared at Frost Star's back. A large portion of the Originium spell's equipment had been consumed prematurely. She also thought carefully about the frost and ice that had surrounded the area when they entered the city...

It was obvious that Frost Star had released a big move before.

Frost Star frowned at this and shook her head unhappily: "Losing is losing. I'm not at the point where I can't afford to lose."

Tallulah smiled and extended her hand: "Then we will be partners from now on."

Frost Star: “…”

This Draco seems to have no sense of boundaries.

How could someone who had just defeated her opponent be so eager to come up and say 'aibo (partner)'? Didn't she feel a bit ashamed?

However, Frost Star looked closely at the expression on Tallulah's face. It seemed that this Draco did not have the ferocity that he had during the battle. Instead, his eyes revealed anticipation for what would happen next.

Frost Star fell silent, and she looked around with a depressed look.

A burning fire, with the smell of sulfur that scorched the earth, filled the air. Frost Star recalled the battle between her and Tallulah just now. The collision of the magical energy between the two sides was actually more like a replacement of elements and matter.

But she had previously held the initiative and the advantage of the field, and could have frozen Tallulah. However, Tallulah's situation seemed even more outrageous than hers.

Froststar glanced at the tail behind Tallulah.

All I can say is that he is worthy of being one of the two royal bloodlines of the Victoria Empire in the central region of Terra.

Of course, she wouldn't admit it.

"Who is the leader among you, you or him?" Frost Star suddenly asked.

Her eyes drifted from Tallulah to Fan Yu, and she seemed very curious.

Tallulah was stunned for a moment, then said as a matter of course, "Isn't it obvious?"

"But... your weapon is not as good as his." Frost Star said.

The Yeti squad standing behind them also nodded. The lightsaber that Fan Yu had previously displayed was the most dazzling weapon they had seen, second only to the ice blade of the big sister. Of course, "second only" was under the premise that they were using a filter.

Without the filter, neither Big Sister nor Tallulah is as handsome as that sword.

Tallulah's face darkened, and she glanced at Fan Yu, feeling embarrassed, as if silently expressing a question like, "Do you like to be in the spotlight?"

"Okay, the test is over. You should be able to fulfill the request you promised me before, right?" Tallulah put out the flame on the blade and put it back into the scabbard at her waist.

She walked up to Frost Star in her military uniform and extended her hand.

Froststar raised an eyebrow. "I can take you to see the Patriot, but you'll have to change your clothes."

Tallulah: “?”

"Honestly, if he wasn't one of yours, I would have attacked you indiscriminately the moment I saw you in your Ursus Empire officer's uniform," Frost Star said to Tallulah. The 'him' she was referring to was naturally Fan Yu.

Tallulah was startled, looked down, and said helplessly, "Clothes don't mean anything. I wore this when I was on the run. I used to wear it to go out to look for grandma as a cover, so I got used to it.

Moreover, it can also be blended into the enemy's hands, isn't that also a strategy?"

Frost Star: “…”

She didn't quite understand what Tallulah said, but she roughly understood the meaning of "dressing with emotion" and "disguising herself as Old Six".

"Let's pack up and get ready to go," said Tallulah.

Frost Star nodded, and then the infected people on both sides began to clean up the things left behind by the Imperial Vanguard Elite. For a team like theirs in the wilderness, the equipment on the Imperial Vanguard Elite was a rare "treasure".

Although some shields and guns with the ability to conduct Originium were destroyed by the lightsaber that Fan Yu had just used, even the remaining materials could be recast to obtain good materials.

After a few minutes, everyone gathered and prepared to leave the ruined city.

"Wait a minute, Tallulah!"

From some of the hiding places at the highest points of the ruins, some infected people wearing simple gray linen robes came out. They were holding weapons, and their faces all had the look of cold-blooded killers who had obviously seen blood.

"?" Tallulah raised her head and looked at the group of infected people on the side of the high ground in front of her, with some doubts in her expression.

When they arrived, they discovered the hidden infected people in the city. They thought that the other party would avoid them, but it was beyond her expectation that the other party would choose to show up on his own initiative.

"What you just said about 'building a city for the infected', is that true?" One of the leaders asked his question solemnly.

Tallulah responded seriously, "Of course!"

"Then, can we join you?"

Chapter 38 "Old Stubborn"

Tallulah: "What?"

"We are willing to follow you and contribute to that ideal!" said the leader of the infected.

Hearing this, Tallulah looked at the group in surprise.

Frost Star, who was standing nearby, gave a warning: "These infected people are the ones who secretly hold intelligence in the ruins. They are stained with a lot of blood."
