< 7th on the Absolute Heavenly Ice Ranking Chart? What the hell is that?> Klaus asked, using the connection between him and the senior.
[The Absolute Heavenly Ice Ranking Chart is a list of the most powerful ice elements in the Universe,] the senior explained.
[Each element is ranked based on its strength and potential. Infinity Freezing Ice is ranked 7th because of its ability to freeze anything, no matter how powerful.]
[It's extremely rare and dangerous,] the senior added.
[Only a few people in history have ever awakened it.]
<This means my girlfriend is awesome, right?> Klaus asked.
[Yes, brat.]
The senior replied, almost annoyed. Klaus just smiled at Anna, who was getting ready to attack.
"Alright, my dear? Just like I said to Kay, don't hold back," Klaus said. But Anna only smiled before her eyes turned cold. Klaus felt the temperature drop immediately, and just as he had expected, the ground turned watery.
Anna started by using a debuff. The moment the ground turned watery, Klaus felt his strength and everything drop by 30%.
"Nice move, but I hate to be the bearer of bad news, my love. This debuff won't change anything," Klaus said.
"I know. That's why I prepared this too." Suddenly, ice mist began to spread across the battleground.
'Another 30% debuff. How interesting,' Klaus thought inwardly.
[That was indeed a good combination attack, but it also took about 40% of her energy.] The senior commented.
[However, she has activated a healing skill and is now recovering faster than she is being drained.] He added, making Klaus smile.e
'Still, she wouldn't have the chance to deal any damage,' Klaus thought before moving toward her.
In response, Anna waved her staff, and ice shards appeared in the air, shooting toward Klaus. He just used his sword to defend and dodge.
"Don't worry. Just do it and let me see how long I can fare against the real you," she said, swinging her staff. A wave of water surged toward Klaus, freezing when it was only a few feet away and then shattering into ice shards that shot at him with increased speed.
Klaus dodged and defended against the shards.
"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you," Klaus said, stomping on the ground.
The ice beneath him melted instantly and then like smoke, it evaporated. A wave of heat swept across the ice battlefield. It struck the rhinos, destroying them in one blow.
Anna's eyes widened as the heat wave shattered every ice around her. The battlefield turned steamy as the cold air met Klaus's sudden burst of heat. She steadied herself and tightened her grip on the staff.
Klaus stepped forward. The ground under him was dry now, steaming with leftover heat. He looked at Anna, his eyes serious.
"Ready for more?"
Anna nodded determination in her icy eyes. She raised her staff, and a circle of glowing runes appeared around her feet. The temperature dropped again, and shards of ice formed in the air. They pointed at Klaus, ready to strike.
Klaus smirked. He lifted his hand, and a small flame danced on his palm. The flame grew until it formed a barrier around him. The ice shards shot forward, colliding with the fire barrier. They melted before they could reach him.
Anna frowned but didn't stop. She moved her staff, and a stream of icy wind wrapped around her, forming a swirling shield. Klaus took a step and then vanished, reappearing behind her in an instant.

Anna spun, surprised. Klaus's hand was already reaching for her staff. She jumped back just in time, landing on an icy platform she created mid-air.
Klaus laughed. "You're fast, but let's see how long you can keep this up."
Anna's breathing grew heavier, but her eyes shone with fierce energy. She pointed her staff at Klaus, and ice spikes shot out in rapid succession. Klaus dodged them, the ground under his feet cracking from the force of his movements.
This time, he didn't hold back. He unleashed a wave of fire that swept across the field, forcing Anna to raise her shield again. The heat clashed with her ice, steam filling the air between them.
"Ha... You are much more feisty than I anticipated," Klaus said, slashing his sword and sending an arc of fire toward Anna. "If you can defend against my next two attacks, it will be your win," he added.
Anna's eyes narrowed as she raised her staff. A thick wall of ice shot up in front of her, blocking the fiery arc. The heat clashed with the ice, steam hissing and swirling around her.
Anna smiled knowing if she played her cards right, she would be able to defend the two attacks coming and secure the first win among her friends.
