The Puppeteer of Academy City

Chapter 350: Ice Age

Six light blue crystals shot out from Lily's wings, and they didn't intentionally aim at the two people below, but let them be nailed to the ground.

In the next moment, a cold wave surged, and the "crystal" disappeared out of thin air as if it had never existed from the beginning!

What followed was a cliff-like drop in the surrounding temperature.

It was clearly a sweltering summer night just a second ago, and the winding magma belt on the ground exudes scorching heat waves.

But in the blink of an eye, the "magma" cooled and solidified, and the surface was even covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

A biting chill enveloped Misaka Mikoto's surroundings, and even when she breathed, she could feel the icy air piercing her heart.

Even in the coldest days of winter, I did not feel such a low temperature.

For a moment, Misaka Mikoto even saw the condensation of the air itself!

Where those "crystals" disappeared, light blue liquefied oxygen could be seen.

Misaka Mikoto's heart skipped a beat—this represented the horror that the ambient temperature had been reduced to almost minus 200 degrees Celsius!

From the perspective of ability effects alone, Lily's abilities are much more domineering than those "freezing abilities" in the normal sense.

If you continue to be exposed to this temperature, your body will inevitably suffer irreversible frostbite - you must stay away from this low temperature area!

Misaka Mikoto held her breath and drew back quickly.

However, seeing Lily suspended in mid-air, the same crystals appeared on the wings.

—Oops, it's too late!

Misaka Mikoto found that although the crystals just now seemed to have evaporated and sublimated, the air temperature still continued to drop!

If this momentum continues, he can't escape the opponent's low-temperature field at all.

"Accept it, and watch my 'Ice Age'!" Lily announced.

Mugino Shenli on the opposite side also seemed to have fallen silent, not firing her signature "beam" bombardment.

This transfer student named Lily actually suppressed the two level 5s all by herself!

But at this time, Misaka Mikoto didn't have the heart to think about these things, she already felt that her exposed skin was starting to become numb, and she had to find a way to save herself!

So Misaka Mikoto manipulated the iron sand around her to surround herself.

"This can't prevent the temperature from dropping at all." Lily said.

Misaka Mikoto ignored her and concentrated on releasing the electric shock.

A strong electric current circulated endlessly between the curtains made of iron sand. In the blink of an eye, the iron sand turned red and emitted a fiery light.

The temperature of the air also immediately increased.

On the other side, Mai Ye Shenli also bombarded the ground around him with "atom collapse", turning the road surface and the soil and rocks underneath into "magma".

Crude, but equally effective.

Relieved, the two unanimously counterattacked Lily in the sky.

At least, she can no longer be allowed to manipulate the ambient temperature like this!

Facing the electric shock and the emerald green light beam attacking her at the same time, Lili Zhu slightly parted her lips and let out a breath.

Immediately afterwards, the water vapor in front of her condensed, forming an ice crystal shield to block the attack.

Facing the attacks of the two level 5s, of course a thin ice shield would not have any obvious effect.

In fact, even if the ice layer is constantly thickening, it has only been blocked for less than one tenth of a second.

The electric current attack is fine, but Mugino Shitoshi's "atom collapse" can be said to be the nemesis of almost all physical defenses.

But this paltry amount of time is enough. Taking advantage of this short moment, Lily had already fallen to the ground.

The "beam" flew over her head and sank into a certain building behind her.

Once the shot was missed, Mai Ye Shenli didn't give up. She was not the type known for "precision shooting".

There were still seven emerald green "light spheres" floating beside her, and they had locked on Lily's position at this moment!

Lily also looked towards the opposite side with a solemn expression, and she repeated her old trick, blowing forward again.

However, Misaka Mikoto noticed that this time was different from before—as if echoing Lily's movements, a faint cloud of smoke was ejected from the wings behind her.

These "smoke" were drawn in by Lily's breath, forming an unexpectedly thick ice wall in front of her.

Almost at the same time as the ice wall was formed, seven beams of "atom collapse" blasted over in succession!

Surprisingly, this time Lily's ice wall successfully blocked the attack.

The peculiar ice wall is even somewhat similar to Mugino Shitoshi's "diffusion support semiconductor", which slightly scattered the bombardment of "atom collapse", effectively dispersing the power.

Even so, the ice wall was built hastily after all, only adding special nanoparticles as ice crystal condensation nuclei to increase the structural strength of the ice layer.

Moreover, these nanoparticles are also props specially created by the professor for the "fourth place".

"It's effective, but the effect is limited." Lily evaluated in her heart, "Sure enough, even if the professor is them, they can't estimate the real strength of level 5 before seeing the real thing with their own eyes!"

Before the ice wall was completely penetrated, Lily flapped her wings and dodged to the other side in a skating posture.

In the next second, the ice wall was directly blown away and wiped out.

"It's dangerous, it's dangerous!" Lily said with lingering fear, "That's the end of the data collection, don't make fun of my life!"

You know, in the previous internal experiment, Lily used the same ice wall to withstand the direct bombing of the 155mm howitzer!

As a result, in the face of "atom collapse", it was so vulnerable. How can Lily not be frightened.

Therefore, Lily stopped trying to use the "new equipment" on her body, and began to fight with her own ability wholeheartedly.

She raised her hand and waved it in front of her, a row of six sharp ice crystals suddenly solidified in the air in front of her.

With a flick of Lily's fingers, the pattern on the clothes suddenly turned purple, and then returned to deep blue.

Six ice crystals shot towards Misaka Mikoto and Mugino Shirley in response.

Misaka Mikoto manipulated the red-hot iron sand curtain to block it ~lightnovelpub.net~ and heard a puff, and the semi-molten iron sand instantly cooled and solidified into a large iron plate.

Misaka Mikoto felt the temperature in front of her drop again.

"The real threat is not the ice crystal itself, but the cold air that comes with it?" Misaka Mikoto reminded herself once again—Lily is not a "frozen system" ability user in the usual sense.

Immediately afterwards, Misaka Mikoto felt suffocated again. Although she was breathing, there was no trace of oxygen inhaled into her lungs.

She just felt a tightness in her chest.

"The ice crystals that the girl fired just now were not solidified by water vapor, but actually nitrogen crystals, right?"

Misaka Mikoto realized that only nitrogen with a lower melting point could produce such a cooling effect.

— Moreover, after the nitrogen gas changes from liquid to gas, its volume will expand by 669 times, which is enough to create an "oxygen-free" environment around yourself!
