Peace Hunter

The woman continued to fire a large number of magic balls at the fleeing knights. Despite the continuous volleys of magic balls, the knights continued to run, trying to escape the area and the Orokho Mountains. One by one, the knights began to be hit by the magic balls. They were hit directly in the head. The magic balls froze their entire heads, and within a short time, their heads shattered into pieces. Those who were hit by the magic balls were certain to die instantly, their heads shattered.

The knifhts who were still running looked extremely anxious and terrified as they watched their comrades die one by one.

"Don't lose focus, keep running!!!!" shouted Duchess Arlet.

Duchess Arlet was currently blocking the numerous magic balls with her rapier and ten ice rapiers floating around her. Although she couldn't block all of the magic balls, Duchess Arlet managed to at least reduce the majority of them by slashing them with her rapier. The knights, hearing Duchess Arlet's shout, regained their focus and continued running away.

"You're quite good, managing to block most of the magic balls I fired. If you hadn't blocked most of them, all your knights would have died. Make sure you don't get hit by them while you're trying to block them, because I don't want you to die first," said the woman with the horns and tail like a dragon.

She continued firing her magic balls nonstop as she spoke. Meanwhile, Duchess Arlet appeared to be trying to do something. She lifted her right foot off the ground.

"Don't worry, I won't get hit by those magic balls. This time, I'll block all of them," said Duchess Arlet.

~Ice Magic: Great Ice Wall~

Duchess Arlet stomped her right foot on the snowy surface where she was standing. Suddenly, a large wall of ice appeared. The wall immediately blocked all the magic balls fired at Duchess Arlet and the knights behind her.

"An ice wall, huh," the woman said.

She continued firing magic balls at the wall, intending to destroy it. However, the wall remained unbroken, not even a crack, despite the constant barrage.

"That ice wall is quite tough. In that case..." the woman said.

After saying that, a pair of wings suddenly appeared on her back, resembling those of a dragon. She then immediately shot upwards, flying while surrounded by three ice swords and numerous magic balls ready to be fired. Then, she looked beyond the ice wall created by Duchess Arlet. Behind it, the knights who had been running to escape were already quite far away.

"They're already quite far away. Because I wasted my time trying to destroy the wall, they've had time to get away from this area. I'll go after them," the woman said.

The woman then immediately flew to chase the departing soldiers. However, just as she was about to fly past the ice wall created by Duchess Arlet, Duchess Arlet, who was directly behind the ice wall, suddenly jumped toward her. Duchess Arlet leaped, wielding her rapier, and the surrounding ice rapiers followed suit.

"It seems you're only focused on chasing my knights and have forgotten about me," said Duchess Arlet.

After that, Duchess Arlet immediately attacked the woman with her rapier and the ice rapiers surrounding her.

~San Lucia Art: Multiple Freezing Air Slash~

The woman didn't have time to dodge and was struck squarely by Duchess Arlet's attack. The three ice swords floating around her were shattered, along with several magic spheres surrounding her. The pair of wings on the woman's back appeared to have been severed by Duchess Arlet's attack. Several parts of the woman's body were frozen solid by Duchess Arlet's attack. After being hit, the woman began to fall to the ground. But before she could hit the ground, Duchess Arlet quickly darted to her and attacked again.

~Glacier Thrust~

Duchess Arlet attacked the woman with a thrusting attack right in the stomach. The woman was immediately sent flying and slammed into the ice and rocks behind her. The area where she struck the rocks and ice was immediately filled with smoke.

Meanwhile, Duchess Arlet, who had been in the air, began to descend to the surface. Duchess Arlet was still holding her rapier, not yet having replaced it at her waist. It seemed she was still on guard for the possibility that the woman might rise again and attack her. Furthermore, Duchess Arlet also looked slightly exhausted, as she was breathing heavily.

"*Haahhh... *Haaaahhhh... I won't let you chase my knights. If you want to chase my knights, defeat me first," said Duchess Arlet.

Not long after, the sound of clapping was heard. The clapping came from within the smoke that enveloped the area. Then, from within the smoke, a shadow of a figure emerged, walking forward. The shadow continued to walk forward until it finally emerged from the smoke. The figure who emerged from the smoke was the woman with the horns and tail of a dragon that Duchess Arlet had attacked earlier. The woman walked out of the smoke, clapping her hands, and continued to approach Duchess Arlet. The floating sword and the magic spheres that had surrounded the woman were now gone. Furthermore, there were no visible wounds on her body. Even parts of the woman's body that should have been frozen seemed to have disappeared. Duchess Arlet was shocked upon seeing the woman's body.

"I was sure I had struck her decisively, but why does it seem like my attack had no effect? ​​Could it be that the attack should have had an effect, but the woman quickly regenerated her body, making me think it had no effect," thought Duchess Arlet.

Duchess Arlet looked confused as she continued to ponder this. Meanwhile, the woman, who had been walking toward Duchess Arlet, began to halt her steps. She stopped not far from Duchess Arlet. However, even though she had stopped walking, the woman continued to clap her hands.

"That attack you launched just now was truly extraordinary, as expected of a 'white-haired human'. The last 'white-haired human' I fought decades ago also possessed extraordinary abilities and attacks. Even so, that human was still no match for me," the woman said.

After saying that, the woman slowly began to stop clapping. Meanwhile, Duchess Arlet seemed to be preparing to attack, realizing that she was about to make a move.

"Let me say it again, I will not allow you to pursue my knights. If you wish to pursue my knights, defeat me first," Duchess Arlet said.

After hearing Duchess Arlet's words, the woman smiled.

"I'll defeat you first, but unfortunately, I won't defeat you until I take care of your fleeing knights. But to take care of them, I'll have to chase them first. If I chase them, you'll definitely get in my way."

"Hmm, this is quite troublesome. I wanted to get some exercise by chasing them, but you're actually getting in my way. In that case, I guess I'll have to use the 'shortest way'," the woman said.

The woman then stretched her arms out to the sides. Then, she quickly moved her hands forward, making them clap together. As soon as she clapped her hands, a violent tremor suddenly occurred. Duchess Arlet, noticing the sudden tremor, was shocked.

"What is this tremor?!" Duchess Arlet exclaimed.
