"Your roles end here."
"Thank you for everything."
Naeva turned around, her back to her colleagues. Her focus returned to the Ice Princess who had finished recovering.
The girl had muttered something in a very small voice.
"This will hurt a bit, I'm sorry."
[ Enter Weapon - Reverse ]
Right after Naeva said that one sentence, a tremendous pain attacked the heads of Ophelia, Bere, Hamer and Ruka.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
It felt much more painful than the previous one. It was like an electric shock ripping through their brains. No matter how loudly they screamed, how hard they grabbed their hair and how many tears came out, the pain did not diminish at all. Even the Ice Princess who was watching from a distance because she became more anxious was confused by it.
"That kid... attacked her own friend?"
BRUUUUUUUUGHHH
Whether they should be grateful or not, the excruciating pain that attacked their heads ended in just a few seconds. They fainted instantly because they were unable to endure it. At the same time, their hair began to turn white from the tips down to the roots. The cold air began to envelop the surrounding area.
DEGGGG
"UGGHH--"
It was not only them who experienced that pain. The culprit who made them become like that, experienced even worse.
"HOEEGHHH"
Naeva's heart and internal organs, no... Emily, exploded because the Nova flowing through her blood was flowing so chaotically and messily like a million vehicles hitting the road here and there all at once.
The vomiting of blood that she felt this time, released much more fresh blood than before. Of course she would die right after the organ explosion happened.
Naeva even lost consciousness for a few seconds and almost went to another realm. If only—
TAAPP
[ Vitaflux ]
—someone didn't catch it and cured it on the spot.
"Eva-sama!!! Hang in there!!!" that person screamed.
If "Ethereal Revival" was the highest level healing holy magic that only certain Arc-Angels and Demi Gods could use, Vitaflux was the highest level healing holy magic that only Saintesses could use. Although in her current body, she could not maximize the potential of Vitaflux, that person was still more than capable of fully healing Naeva as well as keeping her body and her friends from being seriously injured by the Enter Weapon's side effects.
Naeva slowly opened her eyes weakly.
"Vir...go...?"
"Yes Eva-sama! It's me. Thank goodness... Thank goodness Eva-sama is okay..." the person cried.
"You're just in time, thank you..." Naeva said softly.
Virgo nodded with happy tears.
"Eva-sama did your best. The rest, just leave it to us."
"We will definitely bring victory to Eva-sama."
Naeva smiled slightly.
"Sorry, I know Enter Weapon on the body with that little Nova... Uhhk, uhukk... painful..."
"I... actually don't want to uhukk, uhukk... use... this..."
"Don't speak anymore! Please... Even though the Vitaflux has healed Eva-sama, that body still cannot be moved immediately."
"Virgo is right, Eva-sama. You can rest and leave everything to us. It's been a long time since this old man has been of much use to you. You shouldn't take this little happiness away from me, hohoho..." laughed the typical grandfatherly Capricorn.
"I-I'll do my best to let Eva-sama rest!" chimed in Aries followed by Cancer's nod.
Naeva smiled slightly, she closed her eyes again.
"Thank you... then..."
"I'll leave the rest to you..."
"Yes, Eva-sama!"
"Your wish is our command."
What exactly was Naeva doing? Why were Virgo and the other Zodiacks here now?
Enter Weapon - Reverse
The skill reversed the user's consciousness with the weapon it used. Now, Ophelia and the others' consciousnesses were sealed inside their weapons and the weapons took over their bodies.
This skill also forces Nova's level up to the weapon's power level. Of course, one of the side effects is the tremendous pressure and pain that the weapon user, the skill user and the weapon itself will experience. This was the reason Naeva avoided using it as much as possible.
The Zodiacks had advised the use of this skill from the beginning. It's just that, once Naeva has decided, it's hard to change it unless it's in a critical situation. They could only watch Naeva from the Zodiack dimension with concern. Thankfully, in the end Naeva decided to rely on them. The Zodiack who was summoned, was really happy about it.
After putting down the master with great care, Virgo returned to the position.
"We must not disappoint, Eva-sama."
"Hohoho, of course. It's been a long time since Eva-sama asked for our help. Let's do our best to meet her expectations," Capricorn replied as he glared at the fake Naeva.
"After all, no one knows Eva-sama better than us."
Virgo smiled softly, "Right."
"Aries, be prepared. She's about to start attacking."
"O-okay! I--I definitely won't let a single attack hurt Eva-sama!" she said nervously yet confidently.
Aries, the shield, was standing at the very front with her shield. She would block all the opponent's attacks. No matter what happened, she would not let the opponent's attack penetrate her defense.
Capricorn, the Claymore prepares to deliver great destruction to start the fight and disrupt the opponent's tempo. That way, the opponent's attacks will become chaotic and the damage dealer can deal fatal blows to her more easily.
Cancer, the disk polishes her sword to make it even sharper and can deal fatal damage to the Ice Princess. If anyone is wondering why the disk is used to possess the katana, it's simply because Libra, the sword is already in use and the katana and disk both have sharp edges on one side and far more blades than handles. In addition, both are assassin types that form a stronger resonance than other weapons.

Virgo, the wand will constantly heal his partner so that the side effects of the Enter Weapon and its reverse do not interfere with them fulfilling the master's mission. Virgo will also provide buffs and support to other Zodiacks, as well as debuffs that will interfere with their opponents.
"Let's begin."

"....ma..."
"....... sama..."
"...va-sama..."
"Eva-sama..."
"Eva-sama!"
Naeva slowly opened her eyes. The severe headache she had suffered earlier had reduced a lot since she started to fall asleep.
The little girl could now see the feminine shota calling out to her.
"Virgo...?"
"Yes, this is Virgo. Is Eva-sama feeling better?" he asked worriedly.
There was no need for Naeva to ask about the situation. She knew that if Virgo woke her up without showing a panicked expression or anything like that, it meant that Zodiack had successfully completed their mission.
"How long was I asleep?" asked Naeva after her consciousness had fully returned.
Virgo helped Naeva sit up.
"Probably about... 6 hours?"
"I'm sorry, it took longer than expected," Virgo regretted.
Naeva looked around her. Uwaah... The neighborhood was completely torn apart by them. Amazingly, the only area that was still intact and tidy was around where Naeva slept. The rest had been hit by tornadoes, earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions, floods and other disasters all at once.
Naeva, "......."
The good thing was that the Ice Princess had been completely defeated. Her body was lying not far from them. The Zodiacks knew that Naeva's body was immortal, she would not die no matter what they did to her. They took advantage of that to continuously inflict painful attacks on her. Because even though she was immortal, that didn't mean the pain was gone. She would still feel pain. To make matters worse, every time she was wounded and instantly healed, she was wounded again, without giving her time to get rid of the pain. In the end, the Ice Princess fainted because she couldn't bear it.
"I'm sorry, Eva-sama. I actually wanted to make Eva-sama rest even longer. But if Eva-sama does not return now, she will wake up soon," Virgo said.
Naeva nodded, "I know. It's okay."
Just in case, Aries had formed a barrier around the Ice Princess. Capricorn and Cancer were also on standby beside her.
In order not to waste Zodiack's efforts, Naeva rushed over to her body. Virgo helped carry Naeva closer and Capricorn sat Naeva's body down to make her return easier. Once she was close enough to her body, Naeva hugged her as Lilac, the examiner for the 4th Floor Ascension Exam, had instructed.
Instantly, both of their bodies glowed. The glow only lasted for a moment. Right after the light shone, Emily's body lost consciousness and... Naeva's body reopened her eyes.
| Congratulations! Conqueror Naeva Winter successfully returned to the original body! |
The voice and text that suddenly appeared in front of Naeva confirmed everything.
| You will be teleported to the 4th Floor in 5 minutes |
"Directly?"
Naeva thought for a moment.
"..... This will make things easier. I need to finish the rest."
Different from Emily's body, her body felt very light and fit. She also didn't feel any of the pressure she faced when she was in Emily's body. For now Naeva was grateful, she managed to regain her body.
Naeva slowly stood up and held Emily in her arms. Perhaps because Emily was still a child, even without Nova's reinforcement, her body felt very light.
"I will speak to you again later. Go back for now," Naeva told the Zodiacks.
"Yes, Eva-sama."
Salute them.
Naeva gave a small nod.
"Thank you for helping me."
[ Enter Weapon - Cancel ]
As soon as the Zodiack consciousness returned to their dimension, the bodies of Ophelia and the others fell apart. Their hair and eyes also returned to their original color. Naeva quickly provided a soft cloud of snow to keep their bodies from hitting the ground.
"......."
For a while, Naeva stared at them. Thanks to Virgo, both Emily's body and the others, were fully recovered. Naeva didn't need to use potions or elixirs to heal them.
Naeva carried Emily's body with her right hand and used her left hand to carry Ruka.
[ Time Freeze ]
The 5-minute countdown from the Tower stopped. No, not just that. All movement at the exam site stopped. Naeva froze the area's time.
While carrying the two children in her hands, Naeva began to move in search of their original bodies. It didn't take long for that. A few days before the battle, apart from observing the Ice Princess, Naeva was also busy searching for the original Emily and the bodies of her colleagues.
Once Naeva found those, she would make Emily and Ruka return to their original bodies.
Naeva knew that whoever held her body was not a good person. That's why she didn't want Emily's body to be misused either. Let's just say it's payback because she almost ruined the little girl's body because of her selfishness.
As for Ruka, she returned it because she needed it.
Naeva returned Emily's body first, gave her a small gift and left for Ruka's place. She did intend to give a little help to Emily, but Naeva had no intention of getting involved with her at all. It would be better if she didn't know her at all.
[ Time Freeze - Release ]
Time was running again. Naeva's remaining time before being teleported to the 4th Floor was a little over one minute.
| Congratulations! Conqueror Ruka successfully returned to the original body! |
| You will be teleported to the 4th Floor in 5 minutes |
Naeva had made sure the Tower notification appeared in front of Ruka. She had nothing else to take care of at this Exam location.
"4th floor, huh... Not important."
She glanced at Ruka's body on which there was a countdown from the Tower and her own body which began to glow.
"It's better to go to the 5th Floor right away."
