It began with an illustrious hail of bullets.

Black and white bullet trails and the endless crack of thunder claid the world. Trees were ripped from the earth by the vacuum created by the bullets. However, shortly after the upheaved trees froze in midair as if ti had ceased moving.

Even the leaves and blades of grass that violently twirled eventually cascaded down with grace before they abruptly froze.

//////// < WARNING > ////////

< CONDITION OF THE REWOUND >

< CONDITION: Those untethered to an object or a being able to interrogate Ti will be left behind by its passage >

< ADDITIONAL CONDITION: You may not escape the Rewound until the source of the Wound is sealed or broken to gush >

/////// < WARNING > ////////

< All objects and entities will otherwise be afflicted with Absolute Stasis >

Even though Frost could not speak with Nav, she was still able to deliver these important prompts. Surprisingly fast too considering Nav tended to take ti the more difficult the enemy was.

Did this an that this Aberration of Elysia was weak? Her stats were a far cry from what she had expected. But even so, a single bullet from her weapon could maim a Star or Moon with a single bullet.

Furthermore, there was no telling just what the extent of this Aberration of Elysia’s power was.

Wound? Rewound? And what the hell does the second condition even an?

Frost used the scattered shrubbery as she fired back at the shadowy Galia, loading bullet after bullet which never seed to reach its target. Not only that, but the thermal explosions caused by [Thermal Propagation] remained precisely where she fired, leaving blobs of fireballs that soon turned greyscale.

“It’s all ineffective here. You seem to be holding onto peculiar items. Even without them it would’ve been troubleso to detach you from the flow of my ti.”

She spoke with Galia’s voice but possessed the sinister mannerisms of an entirely different entity. Every word was spoken tantalizingly with a powerful, crazed inflection. Small, hideous giggles and laughter followed without fail, like she was playing with Frost.

But sothing about that voice caused hairs to rise all over Frost’s body.

The form Dark moria took was closer to a Corrupted version of Galia; similar to sothing Frost would find in a State of Mind.

Frost’s emotions hadn’t fully latched its claws into her head to prevent her from thinking clearly, so she divided half of her attention onto further studying this abnormally hostile Aberration of Elysia, whilst the other desperately tried to make sense of the Conditions.

“Did it cross your mind to start a conversation before you opened fire! Stay out of this! I have no idea what you want or what you’re trying to gain from holding this information away from , but I am not going to stand here and die for sothing like you!”

Frost roared, enveloping herself in flas to mask her body as they two danced in a bullet storm.

So long as the flas were attached to her body, then they could not be snapshotted in ti. Frost contorted her body as she flung herself backwards, avoiding the direct advance of the Dark moria.

Thanks to her precognition, she was able to see the bullet trajectories and move out of their range whilst baiting the Dark moria to enter hers. However, just like herself –

“You were always one to jump to such abstract conclusions. Really, it would all be so much easier if you would just stop thinking. Stop running… and just let do it all for you.”

– Dark moria could see the bullets ahead of ti, prancing around the bullets which plagued her path like a line of defensive pikes.

Like her, the bullets that left Dark moria’s pallid firearm could only travel so far, leaving behind a floating bullet with its tail like soone had drawn a pale line in reality. They spanned the garden in seconds, the bullet trails becoming a hedge of black and white thorns as Dark moria relentlessly chased Frost around the periter of the pallid palace.

“Don’t make laugh. Don’t make despise you as much as I already do!”

Frost only had so many bullets on hand, so she quickly switched to using Infinite Hatred – the crystal bullet.

ATT : 13,000( 9,500)

The color of the bullet trails didn’t change. Surprisingly, even though ti froze the bullet in place only roughly twenty ters after firing it, the bullet still returned to the palm of her left hand.

“Oh? Have you already figured it out? That it was I who denied you access to the past near Solitude’s Watch? Or…”

Dark moria attempted to close the gap. There were no descriptions of her attacks whatsoever, leaving Frost to rely solely on her sight and instincts. Frost threw herself against the Markers of the inner walls.

“… That I’ve been actively interfering with ‘that’ one’s interrogation of the past? Jury, was it? A na so abhorrently fitting that I can’t help but to feel envious.”

An ocean of blood gushed from the open cavity as they entered the streets of the inner circle. The gushing blood froze as it turned grey. The ticking of the Interrogating Clock seed to grow louder as Dark moria’s assault intensified.

“Is this because of Jury!?”

“No. This is because of your ddling with ti. You’ve interacted with sothing that was supposed to remain untouched. The past is sacred. Lost wounds of this world shouldn’t be opened by hands like yours. You’re aware of the influence it can exert on an individual.”

“The only people here are you and ! This is the Nex of Paradise that I’m interrogating! Don’t twist it like I’m going to force soone to Corrupt!”

“But even so, and even without my intervention, it does not change that the countdown has begun.”

“What do you an!?”

Frost had no openings against her. Likewise, Dark moria had openings to truly follow through and deal with Frost. It unsettled Frost.

Just what are you hiding… An Aberration of Elysia shouldn’t be this weak.

“Forty-five minutes to midnight.”

As she said this, a pale magical circle appeared over Dark moria’s head. The ticking intensified once again.

In that mont Frost saw all outcos and realized that she’d be struck by a barrage of more than thirty bullets.

So, she did the next best thing and ran straight towards the bullets before she could even fire them off.

“I hate vague answers… I – did not co this far after harrowing through hell –!”

Bullets riddled her body, lightly piercing through her flesh and garbs as she pushed through and enacted a counterattack. Dark moria could not avoid a direct impact as Frost swung her fist past the hail of bullets. Rather than a punch, it was as though Dark moria had thrown herself straight into her fist.

“– ONLY FOR YOU TO DENY IT ALL!”

[Solemn Counter] and her [Fine Line] Passive Skill.

It ca in handy as Frost weaved herself into a narrow window of opportunity. A dark cloud plud from her fist upon impact thanks to her Dream Shatterer.

“NO MATTER THE RISK –!”

Frost had Dark moria right where she wanted. The wounds on her body healed over the pale, crystal bullets. Her body devoured them shortly afterwards, releasing a terrible torrent of steam, confirming to Frost that anything that entered her body would be destroyed.

“NO MATTER MY INTENTIONS –!”

A flurry of fists connected with her enemy’s dark visage, so fists phasing through the dark coat whilst others brutally caused parts of the being’s body to distort. With one last punch, Frost thrust her fist straight into her stomach, dealing significant damage that she unfortunately could not visualize.

“– WHAT RIGHT DO YOU HAVE TO STOP !?”

Dark moria skidded backwards; her body relaxed as Frost pushed forward to give her no openings to recover. However, it seed like Dark moria had allowed Frost to attack her head on earlier.

“Every right when it concerns my domain. Every right when it encroaches on my territory. And every right when it concerns you.”

“What…!?”
