Chapter 161: Brain Freeze

  The ruins of deer point shook. philo energy warped the air into ribbons of heat.

  Sephiss screamed. his body pulsed with hatred.

  Hundreds of Smoke-blades burst from his evil arm, slicing through stone, air, and sky.

  "Braxill!" he howled. "I will kill every last one of you artists!"

  


  


  The Smoke blades tore through the district like a storm of razors. buildings collapsed, streets bled sparks, and the horizon vanished in smoke.

  


  


  Sephiss laughed, a sound half-mad, half-divine. "I am philo! I am the philosopher of this world! I decide who is strong and who is weak. women are weak because I say so! artists are trash because I say so! the sky is yellow because I say so!"

  Ice Cream Fox watched with curiousity.

  


  


  The blades struck their target.

  Ice cream fox cried out, a soft, wounded whimper that echoed like a child's sigh, then disappeared beneath the smoke.

  For a heartbeat, there was only silence.

  Lanni and gravixor stood frozen, staring into the cloud of debris.

  Sephiss turned toward them, his eyes hollow with rage. "you two," he hissed, "will pay for what that boy put me through. I'll hang his head on the highest pole so the world knows what garbage he was!"

  


  


  The smoke began to thin.

  gravixor's knees trembled. lanni drew her moon-sword, its silver edge trembling in her grip.

  "Gravixor..." she whispered. "i'm afraid... Braxill—"

  Gravixor shook her head violently, tears burning down her cheeks. "no... no..."

  Sephiss grinned, blood glistening on his teeth. "yes. he's dead. and you" his voice twisted, venomous "you'll be thrown into the brothels of the Alpha Male Royals. they'll break your spirits and remind you what hierchy truly is."

  His power began to dwindle and part of his form faded.

  Lanni "I'll fight you to my dying day."

  Sephiss stretches his arm out "Look, your home is destroyed, everything has been taken from you."

  He never finished when he took note of Lanni and Gravixor's suprised expressions.

  


  


  


  


  Sephiss turnt to what he hoped to be the devistation of the entire Zoner district but it was nothing more than.......

  


  


  WHIP CREAM. THE SMOKE WAS TURNED INTO WHIPCREAM!

  This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  


  


  A voice cut through the smog, high-pitched, playful, almost indecently cheerful.

  "Toxic men like you must be turnt into ice cream!"

  


  


  Sephiss froze.

  He turned.

  There, behind him, the world shimmered pink. a pool of strawberry sweetness spread across the battlefield, and from it rose the ice cream fox, swimming lazily in the syrupy light.

  She licked her lips. "yummy."

  


  


  Sephiss staggered back. "what... what the hell are you?" he gasped. "how can ice cream destroy logic?"

  His own words melted, literally dissolving in the air like sugar in hot milk. For the first time in centuries, sephiss ran. He forced his Abi to it's limits, taking his full form again but only to escape.

  


  


  Ice cream fox crouched low, smiling with ecstatic delight. electricity and sweetness swirled around her body as she leapt, pink lightning streaking behind her.

  


  


  Sephiss thrust his evil arm forward, wires snapping out like blades.

  The fox opened her mouth and spat a jet of ice cream, a torrent of vanilla-strawberry-chocolate that wrapped around his arm and froze it solid.

  Ice Cream Fox "Deserts ready, time to eat."

  


  


  In one smooth motion she bit down.

  


  


  CRUNCH!

  The entire limb vanished, devoured in a swirl of sweetness.

  "mmmmm," she purred, eyes sparkling. "Lets do it again but with strawberry sprinkles."

  


  


  Sephiss stared in horror. Pink sprinkles glimmered between her teeth.

  "Stay away from me!" he screamed.

  


  


  The fox inhaled deeply. "Ice cream sundae tsunami!"

  


  


  


  


  A flood of dessert erupted from her mouth, a tsunami of frozen color that swallowed the entire district.

  Sephiss tried to scream, but the ice cream poured into his mouth, his nose, his lungs. he choked, flailing, tasting nothing but sugar and cold.

  his body convulsed. visions of candy and laughter filled his mind. the logic of the world fractured, his own philosophy splintered like glass.

  Then came the Abi strawberry brain freeze.

  


  


  A soundless explosion of pink light.

  Sephiss froze mid-scream, eyes wide, body encased in shimmering sweetness.

  The battlefield went quiet. melted ice cream dripped from rooftops, pooling in rivers of strawberry and chocolate.

  Lanni fell to her knees, laughing breathlessly. gravixor laughed too, her tears mixing with the cream. both waded through the sugary flood, alive, shaking, unbelieving.

  The fox stood in the center, smiling softly, her fur glowing with pink abi.

  "Ice cream," she said sweetly.

  


  


  She bounded toward them, jumped into gravixor's arms, and licked her cheek. then, giggling, she turned her head, her tongue stretching absurdly long to give lanni a taste.

  "Ice cream!"

  The sky above them glowed the color of dawn, a sweet, impossible pink.
