THE THREE-WAY BATTLE (4)

"ARGH, I'M melting," Delwyn complained out loud. "You're cruel, Little Mona."

He wasn't really melting. If it was easy for an Ice Spirit like him to melt, he would have been long gone. But Little Mona's weapon was seriously hot, and so was the flame of the Vermillion Bird sitting on top of the Dome the young princess created.

[I see what Little Mona has done.]

The young princess created a Dome infused with the flaming Vermillion Bird's flame. Not even his ice could break it now. It would too hot for him to touch. And even if he managed to escape, the flaming Vermillion Bird would just hunt him down.

[It's a surprise that Nikolai de Moonasterio lent one of his Soul Beasts to his daughter. Since when did the de Moonasterios care about a royal princess?]

It seemed like times had changed in the short period he went into a slumber.

[That, or Little Mona is just special.]

Delwyn decided to take that fight seriously.
