Hitman with a Badass System

A trail of icy mist could be seen appearing around Rowena. On the opposite, the fire giant left a trail of blazing fire. It was not only the fight between Rowena and the fire giant but also the battle of ice and fire.

The frost blades disappeared from her hand as she threw her fist to meet the fire giant's fist. 

Boom!

The shockwave shot out from the collision of their fist destroyed everything around them. The fire giant was pushed back several feet but Rowena remained still. She cracked her knuckles and then her neck, just like Michael.

"Something is controlling the fire giant" Rowena mumbled,

The oversize of the fire giant put the third persona at a disadvantage. To harm Rowena, it needed to land a hit on her but before the giant could raise his fist, she could hit the giant several times. Therefore, the third persona changed the battle tactic.

Just like before, the fire giant moved toward Rowena, seeming not to have any battle plan. Rowena remained still, waiting for the fire giant to punch her. However, when she was waiting for the fist, a beam of light shot out of its eye.

Rowena was caught off guard by the sudden beam of fire. It was so quick, lightning quick. Many students watching the giant from the castle didn't even see the beam of fire. THey only witnessed a sudden flash of light.

The fire giant stared at the cloud of smoke and the crater created by the beam of fire. The scorching hot beam turned everything into ashes. Gradually, the mist cleared. The fire giant was stunned as it could see Rowena's figure in the mist. 

The blue robes she wore were burnt to a crisp by the flame despite the protection runes placed on them. This time, pure frosty ice materialized on her body forming an armor.

"The prophecy" standing in her office, Kayla was witnessing the fight through the window. 

"We have entered the age of darkness" She recalled the words Wulfric spoke a couple of months ago.

"Headmistress" Gilrine entered the room,

"I placed the talismans you gave me around the forest"

Kayla sighed,

"Make sure no one ventures into the black forest. From now on, the black forest is forbidden for everyone including the staff" she said without moving her eyes from the fire giant,

"Headmistress" Gilrine had a bewildered look on his face. He scratched the back of his head,

"You can spit out what's in your mind Gilrine"

"Why aren't we deploying our forces to black Forest Headmistress? Our forces can subdue the fire giant without destroying the forest"

"The forces in play are beyond the mortals Gilrine. Our forces are nothing before them"

Gilrine nodded without uttering any word. He trusted the Headmaster and Headmistress with his life. Whatever decision they made, he knew it would be the best.

"Frost Storm" 

On the battlefield, Rowena raised her hand, casting a chantless spell. The black forest became darker as the storm clouds blanketed the moon and her dazzling light.

The students gasped in shock. 'Storm' was an understatement. The howling wind and the size of the tornado arose connecting the ground and the sky frightened every single one. Even Victoria was stunned by the sight of the storm in the black forest.

The tornado swirled towards the fire giant,

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHH" the fire giant breathed fire into the icy tornado.

The dance between ice and fire created a phenomenon no one had ever seen.

Kayala, who knew the storm was created by the Holy Maiden, felt a chill. She knew this spell could destroy an entire city within a few minutes. Even a spell-like that caliber couldn't kill the fire giant.

Rowena shot into the tornado and the moment she reached the tornado, the tornado swirled faster and faster, and the power of the first storm multiplied by several folds. She pushed away the fire coming from the giant's mouth.

Little by little, the frost storm moved towards the fire giant through the stream of fire. 

"Arctic Arrows!" she shouted in her mind as hundreds of six feet arrows  shot out from the tornado like bullets. The fire giant raised its hand to defend its eyes from the arrows. Step by step the fire giant moved back,

"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" The fire giant screamed but the scream was not of pain, it was a shout of anger. 

BOOM!

All of a sudden, the fire giant punched the tornado. Rowena's body was thrown into the swirling force. Before she could steady herself, the fire giant embraced the tornado.

The fire giant tightened the embrace as the tornado began to form cracks.

"ANNOYING BUG" Rowena heard the fire giant speak to her in a demonic voice,

Slowly the tornado turned darker and darker. The white frost took a turn to the opposite and transformed to pitch black,

Rowena raised her hand, trying to move the tornado forward while dispelling the dark energy invading her spell. Her nose bled as her skin became pale as a paper.

"Holy Maiden" Bai Ning who was witnessing the battle from a secluded room in Mazeroth murmured under her breath,

She could see the dark energy weakening Holy Maiden's energy. It felt as though the fire giant was drawing the blackness around it to get stronger. She could vaguely see unknown dark energy being absorbed by the fire giant from the sky itself.

Rowena stopped powering the tornado. Within a few moments, the stormy clouds perished from the night sky. Yet again the full moon showered the ground with her light. Unexpectedly when the light was shone on the fire giant, it grew weaker. 

Rowena noticed this by seeing the flicking eyes of the fire giant. When the tornado evaporated, the giant lost its balance. It stumbled forward only to receive a giant fist made of ice to its face. The icy mist enveloped the area and when Rowena emerged from the icy mist, her eyes were glowing. 

The students were able to see Rowena now as she was floating and her figure was growing in size rapidly. The armor covering her body enlarged. In a few minutes, she was in the center of a giant made of ice. Thus, the battle between a human and a fire giant turned into a battle between two giants.

Only a few minutes passed when the ice giant grew to the size of the fire giant. 

"Ice Mirrors," Rowena noticed the fire giant's weakness to light. So she cast a spell that formed hundreds of mirrors made of ice around them. All the mirrors appeared in the angel to reflect and focus the moonlight onto the fire giant.

Even in the face of hundreds of mirrors shedding light onto it, the fire giant stood still. The third piece of the soul was the soul piece of the Dark Lord after all.

The fire giant began to smash the mirrors in the sky. The power of the moonlight was the reason Elidyr chose this particular day. On any other day, defeating the fire giant would have been near impossible. The fire giant violently smashed the mirrors faster than Rowena created them.

Looking at the fire giant getting close to her, she yet again raised her hands towards the sky. Then, she called for the most powerful weapon in her arsenal.

"I call forth thy coldest flames in the universe!" a gush of frosty wind immediately surrounded Rowena's body. An invisible force pushed the fire giant and put out the flames around them.

Then, a layer of frost layered everything within a mile radius.  From the sky itself, a stream of blue flames flew to Rowena taking the shape of a winged woman.

"Primordial Flame" Victoria immediately recognized the phenomenon as the Primordial flames while the other students were gawking at the sky startled.

"The Cold Flames" Edith mumbled. 

For the first time, the fire giant's pitch-black eyes flickered and Rowena sensed an aura of distress from whatever possessed the fire giant. 

Victoria never believed the Primordial flames possessed a mind of their own but when she saw the flames escaping from her and now it had chosen an extremely powerful cultivator as its master, she believed the tests were true. She thought having Cosmic Energy would let her absorb the Primordial flames.

"DESTROYER" 

Directly above the fire giant, a giant sword that was triple the size of the fire giant materialized. The frost-covered sword hung above the fire giant as the primordial flames coiled around the sword like a dragon. The sword gradually grew in size to the point it made the fire giant look puny as an ant.

"Shit" the fire giant mumbled as the sword descended on itself.

BOOOOOOOM!

When the sword landed on the ground, it created a mushroom cloud as though a nuke went off. The shock wave shook even the castle as many students were thrown off balance.

Rowena lost all her strength. Hence, she fell from the sky. She slowly lost consciousness. The battle took everything in her and before she closed her eyes, she saw a golden light flash across her eyes.

Bai Ning teleported to where the battle was happening. She caught the Holy Maiden in the mid-air before she hit the ground. A deep dark line formed on Bai Ning's forehead as she saw no signs of the fire giant.

She spread her senses to locate the giant but found no living beings in the near vicinity. The vital signs in Rowena's body started to diminish so Bai Ning didn't dare to linger around or go search for the remains of the fire giant. Her first priority was to make sure Rowena was alive and well.

After the battle between Rowena and the fire giant concluded, the desolate mountain where Elidyr was imprisoned received guests again. 

"Keep him still" 

Michael's body was violently trembling. Gaya's clothes were drenched in the blood gushing out of Michael's mouth, ears, nose, and eyes. The fire giant was lying beside him badly mutilated. Its hands and lower half were missing. They were evaporated by the Cold Flames. Elidyr was quick enough to save the fire giant before the Cold flames destroyed the soul piece.

He never expected Rowena to possess a Primordial flame. Each piece of the soul was connected. Because the Cold flames damaged one piece of the soul, the others resigning within Michael began to respond to it. One-piece couldn't survive without the other. Therefore, the other soul pieces tried to leave his body. In simple words, he was dying and he would die unless Elidyr put his soul back together again.
