Steel steam and flame

Before Zero could wake up from the brief dizziness caused by the impact, Cassia jumped up and hit him hard on the back again. Not giving up any chance, Cassia clenched her fists and punched him continuously at the heart of his back. Each punch brought himself and Zero deeper into the ice.

With a "bang" sound, huge cracks spread on the ice to dozens of meters away. Huge ice blocks undulated around the two men in the shock of power. The terrain in a small area was destroyed, and Cassia once again grabbed No. 0's head from the waist, trying to remove some of the scales that were getting closer to crimson.

But in a very short period of time, perhaps it was the instinctive reaction of No. 0's body, or maybe it was because as an experimental subject, it had only been less than four months since it came out of the culture jar. For safety, there was an emergency set up by Tovi Luster. Activation mechanism to protect the research that he has devoted most of his life to. At this moment, there are no gaps that can be caught between the scales that have begun to fade away to black, as if they were welded together by extremely skilled craftsmen.

With one claw, only a few scratches were made on it. Cassia immediately took out Zero's head from the broken ice with both hands and hugged it tightly. Just as he was about to twist it with all his strength to break it, three figures fell from the sky above him, all of them opened their mouths wide and rushed toward him. In the torn mouth, the fangs glowed with cold light. Regardless of whether they could bite the black scales on Cassia's body, they closed their upper and lower jaws in an instant.

The instant reaction of the experimental subject rushing over allowed Cassia to wrap his tail around Zero and tie him to himself. Even if he was knocked away, he held his head tightly in his arms and held it firmly with both hands. Regardless of the attacks of the other three, the data after contact told him that he could resist it in a moment, and he only needed a moment.

His hands suddenly exerted force at the moment when his thoughts were racing, and a huge force suddenly acted on Zero's head. The cracking sound was sharper than the twisting sound before the steel was directly pulled apart. The scales that became one at the neck immediately developed cracks and spread rapidly, with bright red blood emerging from them.

At this time, Cassia used part of her energy to control her tail and whip away the experimental subject biting her arm. Energy is continuously transmitted from the blood to the arm. Instead of getting smaller, the strength continues to increase. The black scales on his body had fallen off under the attacks of the three experimental subjects. Their sharp claws scratched the skin, leaving deep wounds. Blue-red blood seeped out at this time, and white smoke emitted from the experimental subject's claws, which were gradually being corroded. The toxic substance of the black snake not long ago has been analyzed by Cassia's own instinctive mechanism at this moment, and part of it became his own.

The crack continued to expand, and Zero also woke up at this time, and reached over to grab Cassia's hand with both hands, trying to pull it away. But it only served as a relief, turning his head to the side to turn beyond the ninety-degree angle. At this moment, it seemed that her body felt danger, or that the time had come. Cassia watched as the scales on Zero's body quickly transformed into crimson, as if they were infected by blood.

Then the temperature rises rapidly and the color changes to bright. I seemed to feel something on my back, and my extremely high body temperature also felt a long-lost chill. Cassia immediately let go of his hands and rushed forward. The speed was still a little slower, and there was no pain, only the dislocation feeling of being sliced ​​open smoothly by something. In the previous moment, Cassia felt as if her waist had turned into running water, and then it was cut off by a sharp sword and then connected together very quickly.

The footsteps did not stop, and after a loud explosion, the howling wind quickly approached Cassia. At this moment, he moved to the side in a short moment, with one foot as the center, and Cassia almost twisted his body, turned around and swept across with one kick.

During the collision, the bright red flowing shadow cut through the air, caught up with Cassia's retracted foot, and once again left a scorched black scar on it. Not caring about the wound and feeling no pain made Cassia in this state, if her body could not bear it and collapsed on its own, she would have been able to keep fighting.

Catching up with Zero who was still gliding on the ice, Cassia kicked him on the head and kicked Zero away again as he struggled to stop. As they pursued all the way, the increasingly bright and integrated scales made Cassia feel great pressure. Stopping Zero's rolling body with one kick, Cassia wrapped his tail around Zero and slammed him from in front of him to behind him. At the same time, he spun his body and kicked Zero in the eye.

"Chichichichi" the tail lengthened a little more during the rolling process, and now it stabbed towards Cassia. Halfway through, Cassia changed her position under the kicked foot. Cassia used the other foot to kick directly into the ice, kicking Zero into the air from under him. Then the elbow followed and hit him on the neck. Before Zero could be kicked away, he was embedded in the ice again.

Cassia took advantage of Zero's lack of energy to attack him accurately, and controlled his tail to stab him in the eye socket.

"Boom!" But with every step that broke the ice, Cassia quickly retreated with the tail that shot out. Cassia turned around in the middle and rushed a hundred meters away in an instant. There was also a huge explosion behind him at this moment, and the scorching air waves and air walls caught up with Cassia at a faster speed. When he turned his head and looked behind him, in the transparent air, the superheated high-temperature steam was quickly taken away by the severe cold of the tundra. Pieces of bulging steam quickly appeared above the explosion point, and eventually connected to form a huge steam explosion cloud. The layers are stacked and rush to the sky. At the same time, the snow surface was pressed down by the power of the air wall, like the surface of a lake, with the explosion as the center spreading out in a circle that became increasingly weak. Immediately, the snow-white steam beat one after another like fierce waves, spreading two to three hundred meters away in the blink of an eye.

The spreading heat wave still carried temperature. Cassia stopped a few hundred meters away, her tense body ready to move away at any time. The steam explosion cloud in front of me has already rushed into the sky a thousand meters away, and frost powder is now starting to fall down. He knew that a huge explosion did occur in the steam explosion cloud, but the form was different from the explosion of various types of gunpowder. What's more, it's the expansion caused by the ice layer being instantly vaporized into steam by extremely high temperatures. At that high temperature, the air will also heat and expand to form a wall of air that is pushed around.

The exciting sound passed through a distance of several hundred meters in the next moment, transmitting the vibration directly to Cassia. Visible fluctuations appeared in the steam, and they were instantly torn open by bright red flowing shadows. By the time one of the passages was formed, Number Zero, whose body was covered with dazzling bright lines, had already run two to three hundred meters. The moment he saw Cassia, his entire face seemed to be split into two halves under his open mouth, and his blazing white breath instantly penetrated the distance between the two.
