Physics The Greatest Magic

The young man clenched his fist and, in that instant, spikes extended out of the cube leaving only silence behind. Blood dripped down the edges of the spikes which had extended, anyone would have been able to tell, even without seeing, that inside had occurred a massacre. 

As blood stream down the cube, the girl's mouth remained opened wide as a dumbfounded expression could be seen in her face. 

"This... All of this in an instant...? Without a single chant...?!" 

She couldn't believe it, in everything she had experienced in life, she had never seen such a thing, power which defied common sense. The more she looked at it, the bigger the feeling in her chest grew. 

A feeling which gave her strength, it was hope. There was no doubt, he was the one she had been looking for. 

But that happy moment only lasted for a few seconds as a dangerous chill passed down her spine. She had always been sensitive to danger. 

Luckily, in that instant, her body reacted on it's own and she took a quick leap forwards. The instant she did, crystal blue ice spikes rose from the ground before being broken by the shadows beneath it. 

Following that, the air around them got colder and colder as the blizzard seemed to be growing stronger. Upon noticing this, The girl quickly turned to see what it was and there she saw it. 

It was the Great Gobriga and the process which she most feared, the one which pushed it into the S-Rank level, had started to occur. It's transformation had begun.

Unlike regular Gobriga's, Great Gobriga's had a special innate ability. One which was the main reason it stood out from the pack.

Cold ice began forming over it's blue skin as the temperature grew colder and colder. It's size began to shrink more and more as time continued to pass by. The look of hatred and anger on it's face, seemed to quiet down as the ice spread throughout it's body.

The ability to transform, it could change it's physical structure and shape for increased speed, power and it's final characteristic. Pure Magic, or more precisely, the element of Snow and Ice.

It was said that once it's transformation was complete, It could freely control the weather and it's specialty resided in snow storms. However, the only ones who knew whether it was true or not were the adventurers which encountered it and survived. Mainly S-Rank Adventurers.

The joy which the girl had felt only a few moments earlier had now been replaced by a strange expectation yet fear about what was going to happen.

Part of her, wanted to see of the wandering devil could defeat her. But the other part, knew that it was wrong and that it was too dangerous to risk it. He wasn't some sort of tool, just a regular person.

'Alright… We should find a way to get away before it- Huh?'

A both surprised and confused expression was formed on the Girl's face as she observed the sight in front of her. The young man, was suddenly standing right in front of the Great Gobriga.

The expression on her face then quickly shifted into one of fear as she wondered if he knew just what sort of monster he was up against. It was on a completely different league than the other Gobrigas he had dealt with.

Standing in front of it while it's transforming, with temperatures unbelievably low, If he didn't freeze to death, he'd die of frostbite.

"Get away from it!!" She shouted

But once again, her voice didn't reach him. Just as she was about to shout his name out a second time, he slowly raised his hand, before placing it right on the Great Gobriga's chest and muttered a single word.

"Break." He muttered

*Crack*

The sound of Shattering and cracking resounded through the forest as the crystal blue ice formed over it's blue fur, broke into tiny little pieces. Following that, the Great Gobriga, lost balance before falling over.

It fell on it's face, and for a moment, showed no signs of movements. Suddenly, dark red spikes extended from within piercing whatever organs and flesh from the inside out.

And as dark-purple blood flowed out of it's corpse, the girl began to laugh in disbelief.

"Ha…Haha… He… He killed it before it could transform…"

It was such a simple solution that she didn't know how to feel. She felt like an idiot for worrying about it earlier.

He slowly turned to her with blood, slowly dripping down his clothes from the bloodbath which had taken place. And in that moment, she wondered, what it was that he was feeling.

She then recalled back on when he talked. It was the first time she had heard his voice. It was cold, deep and somewhat dry, yet it proved one thing, he could talk.

Now a new question popped up in her mind, 'why was it that he never talked?' she was curious to find out, however no matter how curious, even she knew it would be pointless to ask.

After all, that was the first word which had come out since they had met. As she was distracted by this, she failed to realise how, the corpses of all the monsters which had been killed, had disappeared. Or rather, an illusion had been cast to hide it.

The young man wasn't too keen on casting it, but he deemed it necessary, not for the girl but for others reasons. One of these were , mainly as a warning to chase off anything that would dare to follow him.

He then quickly continued his walk leaving the girl behind, and she who saw this, quickly chased after him. As the two left the scene, the girl failed to realise how the corpses of the monsters which she saw as she looked back, were all illusions.

In that moment, she was more taken in and surprised by what she had seen from the wandering devil to even consider or even notice the corpses enter the young man's shadow which had extended throughout the whole area, before it disappearing into thin air.
