  Sofia looked at the group of Kronans closing in oheir t forms casting long shadows across the battlefield. She rolled her eyes, tossing her blonde curls over her shoulder. “Really? Surround the little girl? Cssy.”

  The Kronans didn’t respond, their glowing eyes fixed ohere were three of them, each armed differently—one wielded a jagged stone spear, another carried ah a bde carved from obsidian, and the st had empty hands but exuded a cold, crag energy, frost f in the air around it.

  “You picked the wrong day,” Sofia muttered, crag her knuckles as the Rain Ring on her finger began to glow faintly. A shimmering, icy mist began to gather around her, its cold tendrils spreading outward.

  The spear-wielder moved first, lunging with surprising speed. Sofia sidestepped, her petite frame dug uhe thrust as the tip of the spear whistled past her ear. With a sharp motion, she raised her hand, and a wall of ice erupted from the ground, smming into the Kronan’s midse and f it back.

  “Chill,” Sofia quipped, a smirk tugging at her lips.

  The axe-wielder was , charging with a guttural roar. Its massive on swung down in a deadly arc, shattering the icy wall as if it were paper. Sofia flipped backward, nding lightly on her feet as shards of ice rained arouhe ist swirling at her feet began to rise, thiing into a fog that obscured her form.

  “e on, big guy,” Sofia’s voice echoed from within the fog, teasing and elusive. “’t handle a little girl?”

  The frost-den Kronan took the bait, raising its arms as it summoned a surge of icy wind that bsted through the mist, clearing it in an instant. But Sofia wasn’t where they expected. She was behind them.

  With a sharp motion, she thrust her hands forward, and jagged spikes of ice erupted from the ground, aiming for the axe-wielder. The Kronan spun just in time, its obsidian bde defleg the attack, but the force of the ice spikes still sent it staggering back.

  The spear-wielder recovered, joining the fight with a sweeping strike aimed at Sofia’s midse. She slid u with practiced ease, her Observation Haki giving her just enough warning to avoid the blow. Rising to her feet, she cpped her hands together, and a sphere of freezing mist enveloped the Kronan. Ice began to creep up its legs, log it in pce.

  “You’re not going anywhere,” Sofia said, her green eyes fshing with determination. She turned just in time to see the axe-wielder barreling toward her again, its bde raised high.

  This time, Sofia didn’t dodge. She raised her hands, and a massive ice shield formed in front of her, abs the impact of the strike. The force rattled her arms, but she held firm, her feet digging into the ground. The shield cracked uhe strain, and she released it just as the axe came down agaiing the on smash into the ground.

  “Too slow,” Sofia taunted, darting to the side. She raised one hand, and the mist around her densed into a jagged ice spear. With a sharp flick of her wrist, she hurled it at the axe-wielder, the icy projectile striking its shoulder and embedding itself ione.

  The frost-den Kronan, meanwhile, raised its arms and unleashed a wave of freezing air that swept toward Sofia. The ground around her crystallized instantly, the air biting with a bone-chilling cold. Sofia gritted her teeth, summoning her own iergy to teract the attack. The two forces collided in a swirling storm of frost and wind, her giving ground.

  “Alright,” Sofia muttered, her breath visible in the frigid air. “Let’s turn up the heat.”

  She smmed her hands onto the frozen ground, and the ice beh the frost-den Kroed upward, eng it in a jagged prison. It struggled against the icy spikes, its movements slowing as frost began to creep over its form.

  The spear-wielder, still partially frozen, broke free with a roar, its movements jerky but determined. It charged at Sofia, its stone spear glowing with molten energy as it swung in a wide arc. Sofia ducked, but the heat singed her, f her to backpedal.

  “Alright, you’re officially annoying,” she muttered, her Rain Ring glowing brighter. The mist around her intensified, densing into a dense fog that enveloped the battlefield. The Kronaated, their glowing eyes darting as they searched for her.

  Sofia moved through the fog with practiced ease, her Observation Haki guidieps. She circled behind the spear-wielder, her hands f another ice spear. She u with precision, the projectile smming into the Kronan’s leg and freezing it in pce.

  “Two down,” Sofia said, smirking.

  Sofia leaped baarrowly avoiding the axe’s molten edge. The bde sliced into the ground, sending a shockwave of heat and debris outward. Before she could regain her footing, Anthony crashed into the se, unched by a heavy bad from one of his oppos. He tumbled past Sofia, skidding to a stop just before colliding with her ice barrier.

  “You okay the babe?” Sofia asked, not sparing him a gnce as she readied atack.

  “I’m fine geous,” Anthony groaned, rising to his feet and shaking off the impact. “Just o che your progress. Looks like you’re sg.”

  Sofia snorted, f a spear of id hurling it at the axe-wielder. “Get back to your own fight before I really start sg.”

  As Sofia turned back to his oppos, she realized the axe-wielder wasn’t do burst through the fog, its glowing bde slig through the air toward Sofia. She barely had time to react, raising an ice barrier just in time to block the strike. The impact sent her skidding back, her boots scraping against the icy ground.

  Before she could recover, the frost-den Kronan shattered its icy prison with a roar, the sheer force sending shards of ice flying in all dires. It unleashed another wave of freezing air, the cold seeping into Sofia’s limbs and slowing her movements.

  “Not bad,” Sofia said through gritted teeth. “But I’m better.”

  She raised her arms, and the icy mist around her densed into a swirling vortex. The frost-den Kronan was caught iorm, its movements slowing as ice crept over its body once more. The axe-wielder charged at her again, but this time she was ready.

  Sofia sidestepped the attack, her hand glowing with iergy as she smmed it into the Kronan’s side. Frost spread across its torso, the cold sapping its strength. With a sharp motion, Sofia created a massive ice spike beh the Kronan, lifting it off the ground and leaving it suspended in the air.

  A new group emerged from the fog, their leader noticeably different. The heat radiating from his glowing, molten elted the ice c the frost-den Kronan, freeing it with a sharp hiss of steam. The t figure gred down at Sofia, his voice rumbling like ahquake. “Your ice is useless, little girl.”

  Sofia smirked, brushing her curls out of her face, the Rain Ring glowing brighter as mist began to swirl around her once more. “Who said anything about ice? My Fme is Rain.”

  The Kronan leader snarled, raising his massive arms as molten cracks spread across his body. He smmed his fists into the ground, sending waves of liquid magma rippling toward her. The mist around Sofia thied, cooling the air and solidifying the magma before it could reach her. She sidestepped lightly, her feet skimming the frosted ground.

  “Guess you missed the memo,” Sofia quipped, weaving through the va trails. “I’m ly the fragile type.”

  The frost-den Kronan bellowed, surging forward alongside the molte unleashed a bst of freezing air, colliding with the molte. The battlefield erupted in a csh of opposing forces, steam and fog enveloping the batants. Sofia darted through the chaos, her Observation Haki giving her just enough crity to evade the frost-den Kronan’s strikes while keeping an eye on its molten terpart.

  She turned sharply as the molten Kronan lunged, its glowing fist smashing into the ground where she had stood moments before. The impact sent molten shards flying, one grazing her arm and burning through her sleeve. Sofia winced but didn’t falter, the Rain Ring on her finger pulsing as she extended her hand. A n of rain-soaked mist erupted around the molten Kronan, cooling its glowing core and slowing its movements.

  “Hot and cold at the same time,” Sofia muttered, f a jagged ice spike in her hand. “You guys really o get your temperatures under trol.”

  She hurled the spike, aiming for the molten Kronan’s shoulder. The projectile struck true, sinking into the glowing stone and sending cracks spidering out from the point of impact. The Kronan staggered but recovered quickly, its molten core fring brighter as it roared in defiance.

  Meanwhile, the frost-den Kronan had closed the distas frigid touch creating patches of frost along Sofia’s path. She narrowly avoided its sweeping strike, dug us massive arm aaliating with a burst of freezing mist. The mist solidified around its legs, anch it in pce.

  The molten Kronan took advantage of her divided attention, swinging a molten fist toward her. Sofia reacted just in time, raising a wall of ice betweehe punch shattered the barrier, sending icy shards flying, but the force had been diffused enough for her to dodge the follow-up attack.

  Sofia was mid-step, her focus on reinf her ice barrier as the molten Kronan’s strike loomed. Suddenly, the fog split as a dazed Kronan barreled forward, smming into her barrier with enough force to shatter part of its icy structure. The impact sent shards flying, leaving Sofia exposed for a brief moment.

  “Seriously, Maria?” Sofia called out, her green eyes darting toward her friend in the distance.

  Maria’s voice floated back, unapologetid tinged with mischief. “Bme the Kronans for bad spatial awareness!”

  The molten Kronan saw the opening and charged again, but Sofia was already moving, rebuilding her barrier with a quick sweep of her hand. “Remio file a pint ter,” she muttered under her breath, her focus returning to the battle at hand.

  “You guys don’t mess around,” Sofia said, a bead of sweat rolling dowemple. The molten Kronan advanced again, its clowing dangerously bright. She shifted her focus, raising both hands as a torrent of rain energy erupted from the ground, eng the molten Kronan in a swirling vortex of water.

  The Kronan hissed, its molten core dimming as the water sapped its heat. Sofia ched her fists, the vortex intensifying. “Let’s see how tough you are when you cool off,” she said, her voice low.

  Before she could finish, the frost-den Kronan broke free from its icy restraints with a deafening roar. It charged, smming into Sofia with enough force to send her skidding backward. Her boots dug into the frozen ground as she steadied herself, her green eyes fshing.

  “Alright,” Sofia muttered, her breath visible in the frigid air. “You want to py rough? Let’s py rough.”

  The mist around her densed into a sphere, swirling with icy rain. She hurled it at the frost-den Kronan, the impact sending it reeling. She didn’t give it a ce to recover. With a sharp motion, she created a series of ice spikes that erupted from the ground, driving into the Kronan’s body and log it in pce.

  At the same time, the molten Kronan shattered the vortex that held it, steam billowing as its core fred brightly once more. Sofia shifted her focus, her Rain Ring glowing fiercely. The mist arouhied into a dense fog, obsg her form from the Kronans’ sight.

  The molten Kronan swung blindly, its molten fists creating waves of heat that cut through the fog. Sofia moved silently through the haze, her Observation Haki guidieps. She closed in on the molten Kronan, raising her hand as a spear of freezing mist formed. She drove the on into the glowing core, the impact creating a violeion.

  The molten Kronan roared as its core dimmed, cracks spreading across its body. Sofia stepped back, raising her hands as a massive ice spike erupted from the ground, driving into the Kronan and shattering its molten frame.

  The frost-den Kronan, seeing its ally fall, let out a guttural roar. It broke free from the ice spikes that restrai and charged at Sofia with renewed fury. Sofia stood her ground, her green eyes narrowing as she raised her hands. The rain energy around her intensified, creating a barrier of swirling mist and ice.

  The frost-den Kronan smmed into the barrier, its massive fists pounding against it. Sofia gritted her teeth, her focus unwavering as she maintaihe shield. “You’re not breaking through,” she said, her voice steady.

  With a final burst of energy, the barrier expanded outward, sending shards of ice flying and knog the Kronan off bance. Sofia seized the opportunity, f a spear of i her hand. She hurled it with all her strength, the projectile striking the Kronan’s chest and freezing it in pce.

  Sofia stepped forward, her Rain Ring glowing brightly as she extended her hand. A n of rain energy erupted from the ground, enveloping the frost-den Kronan. The creature let out o roar before its body froze solid, cracks spreading across its i. With a sharp motion, Sofia ched her fist, and the frozen Kronan shattered into pieces.

  Sofia exhaled, her breath visible in the cold air as she surveyed the battlefield. The remains of the Kronans y scattered arouhe mist slowly dissipating. She brushed her curls out of her face, a satisfied smirk tugging at her lips.

  “Not bad for a little girl,” she muttered, turning to see Diego battling nearby.

  Diego was battling against the hammer-wielding Kronan, and he wouldn’t have had it any other way. The t figure was clearly their leader, its molten clowing through cracks in its rocky frame as if fueled by aernal furnace. A massive stone hammer rested in its hand, each swing leaving trails of molten debris in its wake.

  “Let’s see what you’ve got, big guy,” Diego said, rolling his ned loosening his stahe St on his finger flickered with faint energy as he flexed his fingers, ready for the fight.

  The Kronan didn’t waste time. It lunged forward with surprising speed for its massive size, the hammer sweeping horizontally through the air. Diego ducked, the force of the swing causing a shockwave that sent ks of rock flying in all dires. He stepped into the gap left by the hammer’s path and drove a palm strike into the Kronan’s torso, his Storm Fme fring as the energy surged through the impact.

  The Kronan stumbled back but recovered quickly, its glowing eyes narrowing. With a roar, it brought the hammer down in a devastating arc, aiming to crush Diego where he stood. He twisted to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow as the hammer struck the ground, sending molten rock spraying outward. One k singed Diego’s sleeve as he darted backward, but he smirked through the heat.

  “Alright,” Diego muttered, brushing at the scorch mark on his jacket. “Time to turn up the charm.”

  He extended his arms, and the St pulsed with life. The air around him grew heavy as the wind began to swirl, kig up debris in a growing whirlwind. The Kronan charged through the gale, its hammer raised, but Diego anticipated the move. He sidestepped the first swing, then leaped over the follow-up, the wind propelling him higher than he could have managed on his own. Twisting mid-air, Diego delivered a spinning kick to the Kronan’s head, his Storm Fme surging with disiion energy. The impact cracked part of the creature’s helmet-like exterior, sending molten fragments scattering.

  “e on, you take more than that,” Diego taunted as he nded lightly on his feet.

  The Kronan growled, molten veins pulsing brighter as it swung its hammer upward in a feint before smming it down with a violent crash. Diego miscalcuted the sed swing’s reach, the hammer’s edge grazing his shoulder and sending him sprawling to the side.

  “Hey there, buddy! How’s the hero busireating you?” Diego shouted, grinning as he skidded to a stop nearby Anthony, pursued by a whirlwind of debris and an enraged Kronan.

  Anthony smirked, brushing dirt off his sleeve. “Better than your babysitting skills. Need a hand?”

  Diego ughed, flig a stray lock of hair from his face. “Nah, I’ve got this one. But thanks for the cameo. Really spices up my se.”

  The Kronan chasing Diego roared, summoning a small storm of fme its own. Bze arced across its rocky form as it charged, its massive fists crag with fiery energy. Diego rolled his shoulders, his St glowing faintly as he turo face his oppo.

  “Alright, big guy,” Diego said, his tone casual. “Let’s dance.”

  Diego’s grin widened as he pnted his feet firmly, raising his hand toward the hammer-wielding Kronan. The St on his finger fred to life, the energy c through him like a pulse of raw power. The air grew denser, electrid the battlefield seemed to hold its breath as he called forth the full force of the storm within him.

  The Kronan didn’t hesitate, charging with a roar, its massive hammer glowing with molten energy as it swung downward. Diego didn’t move to dodge immediately. Instead, he raised both hands, maniputing the force around the hammer to slow its dest. The on, heavy with destructive energy, wavered in the air as if caught in an invisible current, f the Kronan to strain against its own momentum.

  “Yono hit harder than that,” Diego said, his voice light but charged with fidence.

  With a flick of his wrist, Diego redirected the hammer’s force sideways, sending the Kronan staggering as its on smashed into the ground off-course. The molten impact sent streams of va-like rock spraying outward, but Diego remained unscathed, the storm around him pushing the debris away.

  The Kronan roared agaiing the hammer for another swing, but Diego didn’t give it the ce. He dashed forward, propelled by a sudden gust of wind, closing the distan an instant. His fist, wreathed in the disiing energy of the Storm Fme, struck the Kronan’s chest with a resounding crack. The impact sent vibrations through its rocky frame, molten veins dimming momentarily.

  The Kronan tered with a wide swing of its hammer, f Diego to retreat. He backflipped, carried higher by a sudden updraft of his own making, nding lightly several feet away. The Kronan advanced, its steps creating craters in the ground. Lava seeped from the cracks in its body, glowing brighter as it roared and swung the hammer in a devastating arc.

  Diego extended his arms, and the air around him twisted violently. The hammer’s trajectory was intercepted by a vortex of swirling wind, slowing it just enough for Diego to step aside with a graceful pivot. The Kronan’s on crashed into the ground, sending molten debris flying again, but Diego spun through the chaos like a dancer, unharmed and unfazed.

  “Is that all you’ve got?” Diego taunted, gesturing for the Kronan to e closer.

  The creature obliged, charging with relentless fury. Diego met its advah a burst of disiing energy that radiated outward, eroding the edges of the Kronan’s molten armor as they cshed. The St pulsed brighter, the storm around Diego intensifying with every movement.

  As the Kronan swung its hammer again, Diego ducked uhe bloced his hand against its exposed midse. A surge of Storm Fme energy burst forth, disiing a rge portion of the Kronan’s chest. The molten cracks widehe creature stumbling back with a pained growl.

  Diego pressed the advantage, summoning a small whirlwind around his feet to unch himself upward. Mid-air, he twisted and brought his foot down in a devastating kick to the Kronan’s shoulder, the impact sending the hammer flying from its grasp. The on crashed into the ground several feet away, molten energy dissipating as it y dormant.

  “Looks like you’re unarmed,” Diego said with a smirk, nding lightly on his feet.

  The Kronan, uerred, roared and charged again, this time with its massive fists raised. Diego extended both hands, maniputing the force around him to create a swirling barrier of wind. The Kronan’s punches were met with resistance, each strike slowing as if moving through a viscous current. Diego weaved between the slowed attacks, delivering precise strikes to the Kronan’s vulnerable points.

  At one point, the Kronan mao break through the barrier, its fist grazing Diego’s side and sending him skidding across the ground. He winced but quickly recovered, rolling to his feet with a grin that betrayed no hint of pain.

  “Not bad,” Diego admitted, brushing dust off his jacket. “But I’m still prettier.”

  He raised his hand, and the storm around him densed into a powerful gust that bsted the Kronan backward. The creature dug its feet into the ground to steady itself, but Diego was already moving. He closed the gap in an instant, his Observation Haki fring as he anticipated the Kronan’s move.

  When the Kronan lunged, Diego sidestepped smoothly and pced his hand against its back. Another burst of disiion energy erupted, eating away at the molten stone and exposing the glowing core within. The Kronan roared in defiance, swinging wildly, but Diego danced out of reach.

  “You’ve got a lot of fight in you,” Diego said, his voice almost admiring. “But this is where it ends.”

  Diego was mid-motion, his hand poised to release a final surge of disiion energy into the Kronan’s glowing core when the air shifted violently. A sharp whistle cut through the chaotic battlefield, carrying a ripple of power that forced him to pause. The vortex he had summoned moments before broke apart, streams of turbulent wind coalesg and spiraling toward Nigel, who stood at the ter of a fierce csh some distance away.

  Diego’s head soward the source, watg as his trolled storm was drawn from his grasp and funneled into Nigel’s outstretched palm. The older man didn’t even gnce back, his voice calm but carrying an unyielding and. “I’m borrowing this.”

  Diego staggered slightly as the power drained away, the Kronan before him stumbling as well, caught off guard by the sudden dissipation of the storm energy. Diego’s eyes narrowed, bewilderment and irritation flickering across his face. “You’re what?” he called out, incredulous.

  Nigel didn’t respond, fully focused ohree t Kronans encirg him. His posture was rexed, his immacute suit somehow unmarred by the dust and molten debris around him, but the subtle flexing of his fingers betrayed his readio strike. The borrowed storm energy gathered at his fiips, coiling like a liviy, as the Kronans luoward him in unison.

  Groaning, Diego turned back to his oppo. "I finish you without that anyway." His St pulsed faintly, and the Kronan leader growled, molten veins fring as it charged. Diego matched its movement with a smirk, the air around him thrumming with residual energy despite Nigel’s earlier theft.
