Responding to her was Kevin raising his baseball bat again, accompanied by an even sharper whistling sound of wind being sliced.
"Wah!"
Kiana let out a strange cry, her survival instinct overriding her confusion.
She rolled away in a disheveled manner to dodge this vertical strike. The baseball bat slammed into the ground with a loud "clang," making her scalp tingle.
Just as she wanted to scramble up and run, her hand felt inexplicably heavy.
Looking down, a pitch-black baseball bat, heavy in her hand, had appeared out of nowhere.
The style... looked a bit like the one in the White-haired Man's hand.
"What is this now?!"
Kiana was almost going crazy, but this was clearly not the time to be picky.
Seeing Kevin's third strike coming in quick succession, Kiana gritted her teeth, gripped the baseball bat with both hands, and used every ounce of her strength to block upward.
"Clang—!!!"
A louder metallic collision exploded, Kiana's web between thumb and index finger shook violently, her arms went numb, the baseball bat nearly flew out of her hand, and she was knocked sliding several meters backward, landing on her bottom.
"Help me—!!!"
She finally couldn't help it and shouted at the top of her lungs.
This wasn't training at all; this was murder!
Where did Saint Freya get such a terrifying training program?!
It seemed her shouting triggered something, or perhaps Kevin simply felt this low-level blocking game was too boring.
He paused his footsteps for a moment, raised his empty left hand, and aimed it toward Kiana, his five fingers slightly spread.
In an instant, the temperature in the training room plummeted!
Kiana's breath condensed into white mist in front of her. She watched in horror as, centered on Kevin's palm, countless sharp ice crystals of varying sizes instantly condensed in the air.
Immediately after, driven by some invisible force, those ice crystals grew and converged crazily, forming in an instant a giant ice cone with a diameter of over two meters and a length of over ten meters!
The cone was crystal clear, its edges flashing with deadly cold light.
Kevin flicked his wrist slightly.
The giant ice cone shot out silently, moving so fast it tore through the air, leaving a white frost trail in its wake, aimed directly at Kiana!
"Oh my god—!!!"
Kiana was scared out of her wits, all Valkyrie demeanor and combat techniques thrown to the nine heavens.
She scrambled and lunged to the side, using the fastest speed of her life.
"Boom—!!!"
The ice cone grazed her back and slammed fiercely into the alloy wall behind her previous position.
There was no explosion; instead, like a red-hot iron rod inserted into butter, it embedded itself silently and deeply, leaving only a huge hole with neat edges that went bottomless, surrounded by thick white frost spreading outward.
The muffled sound of the impact and the violent vibration made the entire training space tremble slightly.
Kiana lay on the ground, looking back at that terrifying ice hole and the cold air that had almost completely frozen that area, her eyes wide as saucers, her mouth open wide enough to fit an egg.
What a huge ice cone? This was more than just an ice cone!
This was practically a small iceberg condensed and thrown like a javelin!
