"This is your true form? Whatever." Queen Mab did not care anymore ever since Maeve had disappeared out of a sudden. She could sense that her daughter was still alive but did not understand why there was no proper connection with her.

Since there was nothing to protect and an unexplainable loss in her heart, maybe it was time for Mab to have her own fun to fill the void. The Queen had been so busy governing the Winter Courts that she barely had any chance to have a moment of rest and these two transformed beings were the perfect chance for Mab to exercise her powers.

Firstly, Mab froze the throne chair and turned it with her magic to face the two Avatars directly. But the more she looked at them, she became irritated by Shiva's beautiful glittering skin. It was so smooth that Mab could vaguely see her reflection in it. Somehow, that was more than sufficient reason to warrant their deaths, including the grave sin of attacking her daughter.

"Enough holding back. I do not care what your excuses are, but you two deserved to die for being the accomplices sent to hurt my daughter." Queen Mab leaned backwards and folded her legs, giving an imposing stare towards the two Shaitans who refused to speak a word. Yet the two transformed Shaitans responded back with a half smug smile as if they were amused by her dramatic behaviour.

But to the Queen of Winter Courts, it felt like an insult. They were literally signalling her to throw the first strike since all talk and no action made Mab's threats hollow.

"Fine. If you want to play it this way." Queen Mab took a deep breath in before speaking once again.

"Ice Age."

The second those two words left her mouth, a vast amount of ice rose from the throne chair and spread all across the room. While it was out of the Shaitans' view, Mab's spell affected not just the room but the entire castle and eventually the castle grounds. Soon, the ruined kingdom was engulfed in ice within mere seconds, her spell froze everything rock solid in place.

Except for Shiva and Ifrit who was stood their ground against the cold.

Ifrit yawned as he looked at the pristine ice castle as well as the window view of the newly frozen background. "Urgh, it's all white and shiny." The Shaitan of Unyielding Flames groaned.

"Do you now appreciate the beauty of my element?" Shiva said as she was dusting some 'ice dust' away from her fingernails with her arms were folded. The Shaitans were not particularly amazed by Mab's show of power.

"Heh, she could have used that excessive power on us instead of wasting the whole kingdom. Later the others might judge and say that it's not a fair fight at the start if we won." Ifrit shrugged his shoulders.

"It's already an unfair fight the moment you attempt to intrude into my duel," Shiva said as she swung her head a little before walking like a supermodel on the walkway towards the throne. It was plainly obvious that she did not want Ifrit to interfere.

"Hah! Your avatar looked like he couldn't hold himself against her. That is why my Flame Ripper had to interfere." Ifrit said while he discovered a large ball of ice flying towards the throne hall from the castle's window and it looked like the Fey Queen had enough with their family squabbling.

Before the ball could even hit the castle, Ifrit already took care of it by spewing flames from his right hand, causing both the castle walls and the ball of ice to melt from the sudden scorching blaze of heat.

"Your
