Chapter 86: 86:My Girlfriend Is A Menance
"I said MOVEEEEE!"
A horrifying roar erupted from Nyxara.
The surrounding snowstorm exploded outward violently as chunks of ice shattered across the battlefield, and several nearby barriers cracked under the pressure.
Despite that, the black-suited men remained standing.
Their expressions looked troubled.
"What do we do now?"
One of them asked while gritting his teeth against the freezing pressure and trying to maintain his footing.
"We can’t let her destroy the gate."
"Then stop her."
"Stop her? Look around. We are barely holding on."
Another man wiped the frost forming across his face before speaking, his gaze fixed on the increasingly unstable storm surrounding Nyxara.
"Just drag it on... Someone from higher up might come..."
The others silently agreed because none of them believed they could fully stop her anymore.
Noticing their thoughts, Nyxara’s expression grew even colder.
The temperature around her dropped sharply.
A dangerous smile slowly appeared on her face.
"Good... You are really pissing me off now..."
The moment those words left her mouth, dark clouds instantly gathered above the battlefield, and the entire sky seemed to darken under the influence of her power.
RUMBLE!
A massive thunderstorm formed overhead as countless bolts of lightning flashed through the sky, illuminating the snow-covered surroundings.
The winds became violent.
Snow and ice spiraled upward while freezing currents swirled around Nyxara’s body in massive spiraling streams.
She slowly extended her hand forward.
The next moment, a gigantic icy hurricane began forming before her.
The surrounding air twisted violently.
Snow, ice shards, frozen debris, and raging winds converged into a colossal rotating storm that towered over the battlefield like a natural disaster brought to life.
The ground began cracking apart, and vehicles were pushed backward.
Large pieces of debris were lifted into the air and swallowed by the raging storm.
Even the black-suited men struggled to maintain their footing while reinforcing themselves with mana.
The hurricane continued growing larger and larger.
Its size expanded rapidly until it completely dominated the battlefield.
It was about to sweep forward and engulf everything in its path when a familiar voice echoed from the gate.
""Nyx... stop it...’
Nyxara’s hand froze the instant those words reached her ears.
The raging hurricane that had been tearing through the surroundings suddenly paused, as if the world itself had been forced to a stop.
The thunderstorm raging above flickered violently.
Her eyes widened slightly.
For a moment, she stood completely still.
Then she slowly raised her chin and turned her gaze toward the gate.
There, crawling out of the gate while covered in blood, dust, injuries, and completely exhausted, was a familiar figure she had been desperately searching for.
Reigns.
Despite his miserable appearance and the countless wounds covering his body, he had emerged from the gate safe and sound.
For a brief moment, complete silence fell over the battlefield.
The massive ice storm that had been sweeping through the surroundings vanished abruptly, as though it had never existed in the first place.
The thunderclouds rapidly dispersed across the sky.
The freezing pressure that had been suffocating everyone disappeared.
The terrifying aura surrounding Nyxara vanished almost completely.
Only a trail of gently falling snow remained behind.
The coldness in Nyxara’s eyes vanished entirely.
In its place came overwhelming relief and joy that she could no longer hide.
A gleeful squeal escaped her lips.
"Darling!"
A look of pure bliss erupted across her face while the panic, fear, and desperation that had been building inside her for so long disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, her body shot forward like a missile.
BOOOOM!
Everyone’s eyes widened.
The black-suited men stared in complete disbelief, their minds struggling to process the sudden change.
Kellar and Lira were equally stunned.
Just moments ago, she had looked like a terrifying calamity capable of freezing everything around her.
Now she looked like an excited girl who had just found something precious she thought she had lost forever.
Meanwhile, Reigns, who had only just crawled out of the gate and barely managed to stand up, looked horrified when he saw Nyxara charging directly toward him.
His eyes widened.
"Wait-"
BANG!
A powerful impact slammed him directly into the ground before he could even finish speaking.
The deafening crash echoed throughout the area as dust exploded outward in all directions. Cracks rapidly spread across the ground thanks to the impact.
"UGH!"
Reigns groaned in pain as Nyxara crashed into him without slowing down in the slightest.
Before he could react, she wrapped both arms around him and pulled him into a crushing hug, knocking the air out of his lungs.
"Darling... are you alright?"
"Are you injured?"
"Are you hurting anywhere?"
"Did someone hurt you?"
"Did you eat properly?"
"Were you scared?"
"Are—"
A barrage of questions was thrown at him one after another without giving him the slightest chance to answer.
At the same time, she frantically checked his face, arms, shoulders, clothes, and every visible injury as though she was trying to confirm that all his body parts were still attached.
Her hands moved all over him in panic while her eyes repeatedly scanned his body for injuries.
Reigns felt dizzy.
His already exhausted body seemed ready to fall apart under Nyxara’s crushing embrace.
His ribs practically cried in protest.
"Nyx..."
He struggled weakly, trying to breathe.
"Nyx..."
Still no response.
She remained completely focused on examining him from head to toe, asking even more questions. With every second that passed, her expression grew increasingly relieved as she confirmed that he was alive and standing right in front of her.
Finally, gathering the little strength he had left, Reigns pushed her slightly and grabbed her shoulders.
"Nyx... let me go... I am alright, but it’s you who is hurting me."
Nyxara froze instantly.
She blinked and simply stared at him.
Then her face immediately flushed with embarrassment.
"Ahhhh... sorry, darling!"
She loosened her grip at once, though the obvious concern and relief in her eyes remained.
Even after letting go, her gaze never once left his face, as if she was afraid that the moment she looked away, he would suddenly disappear again.
