Yuuri quickly got right up only to see that he was surrounded by tall giants created by different types of elemental magic with their weapons ready to crush him. The fire one rose its fist first to hit him but Yuuri was quick to dodge the blow as the soles of his shoes created ice to help him glide away as he froze the feet of most of the giants as his eyes scanned for any sign of where Adrik might be. However, by being distracted to find Adrik, he failed to see that two of the giants made out of lightning while the other of water both merged into one to swing their hand as they struck Yuuri, sending him flying again.

But this time, Yuuri could feel the lightning stinging every inch of his body and the water only made the pain of the lightning worse. He hissed in pain as he stumbled to get back up, feeling his legs shaking as both his hands were creating swirling twisters of ice that surrounded his fists as he skated forward. Yuuri used the swirling twisters to chop off the legs of the giants he trapped to make them fall and crash onto one another! He knew he couldn't touch the chalice without risking the rest of his body to give out and not being able to get rid of Adrik so his mind was racing, trying to come up with a way defeat Adrik. However, he didn't get much time to even process an idea without glancing to his left to see human-sized soldiers made out of ice, plant, stone, and every other kind of magic that could take form heading his way waving their weapons high.

Damn, I didn't think Adrik has the power to make more armies...Yuuri used his ice twisters swirling around his hands as glided down a straight path through the army, slicing the soldiers near him into pieces. But they're going to overpower me soon enough if I don't find that lunatic first! He was so lost in thought that he didn't realize one of those soldiers who held a metal sword this time approaching him from behind until he felt a sharp, stinging pain swung at his right arm! Yuuri bit his tongue to refrain from howling in pain from the giant scar that was bleeding across his arm as he used his left arm to create the ice blade again to slice the soldier to pieces.

Without hesitation, he created a new pair of ice feathered wings to fly up to get away from the ground soldiers for the time being as he began to search from above to find Adrik. His wound still stung while his left hand was pressed against it to stop some of the bleedings until all of a sudden, it slowly began to be covered in frost that was hardening into ice crystal! Stay calm, just breathe...Yuuri consoled himself as he ripped more of the tattered sleeve of his right arm to be wrapped around the cut so the ice crystals could be hidden. Just breathe, remember what you're here for, remember why you're fighting...For the freedom of my friends, my people, the ice wielders...For Viktor!

"You can try to find me but I know that in your state, your powers are too weak to defeat me now, and you're running out of time!"

What?! How did he know?! Yuuri's eyes widened at the statement he heard as he wasted no time flying towards the source of the voice coming from Adrik. Don't tell me he saw the ice crystals, not now! Damn it, now I really have to find him before he wastes any more time...And I can't go crazy now with my magic.

He created the same ice bow as his right palm created more ice arrows to shoot at the army below him, with every soldier his arrows shot, ice roses with sharp thorns would burst and engulf that figure along with any other soldier near the victim. That should buy me more time at least... However, he didn't expect a sudden string of slime being shot at him, wrapping itself tightly around his wings as he felt himself being pulled down! He used the blade on his arm to slice the slime off as he quickly swooped down to the village full of soldiers to avoid being spotted. That proved to be more difficult with soldiers created out of different magic types using its abilities on him, some failing, others succeeding.

By the time he reached the castle, his ice wings were already tattered to the point that he had to get rid of them as he slammed his palms on the ground to create some reinforcements to help even the odds. Appearing in a blink of an eye, surrounding him were giant ice creatures consisting of two of each kind of animal: dragon, bear, tiger, boar, wolf, and a snake all created to fight the soldiers rushing towards them, leaving blissful trails of ice behind them. Thank goodness those magic soldiers aren't human as his created helpers all charged to take down the soldiers without hesitation.

He turned around to see the closed castle doors, seeing a trail of water coming out from beneath the doors as his eyes narrowed, So Adrik decided to hide back in the castle again? His hands glowed with the bright neon blue light that has clouds of ice seeping out of them to create new sets of arrows to accompany his bow along with a sword to end the job. Without hesitation, he entered the door, using a shield of ice roses to block the sudden fire attack that was thrown at him the second the doors opened, making both fire and roses disappear into the wind. This seems too easy, even for him...Yuuri observed when he cautiously walked in, seeing how Adrik was sitting on his throne with only a simple smile only for Yuuri to shoot an arrow at his head to see that the person on the throne was only a clone made of sand. Where is he now?

Suddenly, he heard the cracks of flames mixed with lightning coming from underneath his feet and before long, explosions of fire and light emerged from the solid ice of the floor, trying to catch its prey. Yuuri could have created a new pair of wings for himself, but he found himself not being able to do that when his magic was getting exhausted from using most of the energy to create those giant ice creatures and it didn't help when his physical body was getting weak as well. His only option was to dodge every spot where a possible explosion might occur or at least cover the spots that have exploded with ice from his arrows.

Unfortunately, his stamina was running out making him slower to the point that a fire lightning explosion erupted right in front of him, shocking his body with stinging pain as the force of that explosion sent him to the wall with a loud CRASH! At this point, Yuuri could feel his arms tremblings along with his legs as he struggled to get back up but he only fell down on his face from the exhaustion and pain. Get up! I'm not finished yet...Yuuri tried to get up once again but he was hit by a burst of water magic then shocked by lightning again. He was surprised that he was still breathing after that! I have to keep fighting, Adrik is still here...He's not gone yet! I have to get up, come on...GET UP! Get up, Viktor is out there with my family, my friends, everyone...I have to keep them safe...GET UP!

"You're fighting against time to end me, Eros," Adrik's voice echoed. "But in the end, you're all alone with the sad truth that you'll never be free, you'll always be alone, and you'll be a failure to everyone you care about." He chuckled at the sight of Yuuri finally getting up on his feet, but he was still shaking from the pain with his sword in hand so Adrik only prepared another attack consisting of fire, lighting, ice, stone, metal, and water, an attack that will guarantee to rip the young fool into pieces. "So let me put an end to your misery..."

He fired.

Yuuri looked forward, seeing how time seemed to have slowed down when the attack was approaching him, he didn't have time or strength to move away. Was this the way he was going to die? Like this? Alone? No home? No freedom? A failure to get rid of the threat? I'm so sorry...I failed as a prince, an ice wielder and as a lover. He was ready to accept his fate, it was inevitable with only one person in his thoughts. Viktor.

"THE ONLY PERSON WHOSE MISERY SHOULD BE PUT TO AN END IS YOURS ADRIK!"

Yuuri's eyes widened in horror to the source of the new voice as the owner landed in front of him and with only one hand, managed to freeze the entire ball of magical destruction and with a tap, it was sent back to the owner of that ball as it exploded into a rain of ice scattering in the room and making Adrik fall from the ceiling he was hiding in! Before Adrik had time to process what happened, the person who shouted rushed forward with his fists covered with swirling purple ice twisters, landing a punch on Adrik for the past minute before sending him flying into the wall across the throne room! Yuuri instantly recognized that magic mixed of Eros and Agape, the familiar silver hair that shined with the dim light, the ocean blue eyes that were now full of anger!

"V-Viktor?" He gasped.

Said person didn't seem to pay attention to what Yuuri was saying at the moment since he slammed his palms on the ground to freeze the floor where the electric explosives were planted, using his ice to move them across the ground to where Adrik was and unleashed the explosives there! The entire castle shook as the dust of ice fell from the impact but the entire structure remained in one piece thank goodness. "Don't think for a second that Yuuri is what you say!" Viktor addressed Adrik, who dug himself out of the rubble he was in. "He's not alone, he's not a failure, and he will be free!"

Viktor finally turned around his angered face soon turned to relief when his ocean blue met Yuuri's chocolate brown. "Sorry I kept you waiting, Yuuri but as you can see, I make quite an entrance don't I?"

"B-But how?" Yuuri stumbled on his words, feeling more confused than ever! "You should have been far away from here by now! Didn't you listen to me when I told you to don't come back?! It's dangerous here Viktor! Why did you come back?"

"Do you honestly think I'll leave you behind and forget you just like that? That you could just make me drink this potion that will make me forget about you and all the time we spent together?" Viktor countered with a slightly angered tone. "I came back to bring you home, just like we promised so there is no way I'm leaving you here alone to fight this mad man! Besides, you look like you could use the help."

"But how did you get past the others? Yurio surely must have been against it!"

"Calm down pig," Yurio's voice came in as Yuuri turned around to see Yurio, Phichit, Chris, Otabek, hell, everyone from the boats including Makkachin was standing at the entrance of the castle looking like they have just battled an army! "Phichit and I were the ones who told him about your stupid plan in the first place, took us a while to get here since it was a long swim to catch up to the idiot here and then we had to fight some magic soldiers with some ice partners back there." Yuuri was still confused, the information was overwhelming as Isabella and Guang-Hong rushed forward to him to check his injuries with Makkachin not far behind them.

"Just worry about getting yourself healed up Yuuri, you earned some rest," Viktor gave him a warm smile before turning around to narrow his eyes at Adrik. His hands were creating a giant curved sword out his own ice. "We'll handle the sick bastard from here."

Without another word, Viktor and the others all sprinted forward to take on the one enemy with their battle cries echoing in the castle. Adrik, on the other hand, wasn't going to let size beat him as he clapped his hands together then smashing them on the ground to make a new army of magical soldiers to even the numbers! The large group had to split up to better handle the army while Viktor had Otabek and Yurio right behind him as they aimed to fight Adrik but it proved to be difficult when Adrik kept creating more obstacles for them to go through. All Yuuri could do was watch how the people who he wanted to protect fight against the enemy, making him feel more panicked.

"Everything is going to be okay Yuuri," Guang-Hong reassured as he helped Yuuri sit down so he could try to see the injuries had. "It's a good thing I saved some of my healing potions before I had my magic taken..."

"They're going to be fine," Isabella agreed until her eyes landed on one of the bleeding wounds on Yuuri's left arm. Ice crystals? She gasped, inspecting the small crystals that were slowly engulfing the wound. Never in all my years of healing have I seen a healing technique like that! "Um, Yuuri," She began as she gulped with nervousness. "Do you happen to know why your wounds are getting covered in ice?"

"What ice crystals?" Guang-Hong questioned until he noticed that the other wounds were also getting covered by that same ice. "Yuuri? What's going on?"

Before Yuuri could respond, they were interrupted when they heard a sudden clash of two weapons as they looked up to see that Adrik and Viktor were already going head to head with their weapons trying to overpower the other! Adrik didn't seem to have gained any new injuries from the attacks he received from Viktor, only scars from when he was fighting Yuuri. No...Adrik and Viktor are head to head...And he still has the chalice...With that, Yuuri tried to get up on his feet, however, he was being held down by Guang Hong and Isabella but that only made him struggle to get up again while his eyes were only on Viktor and Adrik. I need more time...I have to get to them!

Meanwhile, Otabek and Yurio transformed into their animal forms, ready to jump on Adrik to help Viktor but before they could, the mad man only smirked and that was when there were several clones of him surrounding the two while separating them from Viktor at the process. They were all switching their places as they ran circles around them, each of them taunting the two knights who tried to restrain their anger from taking control of their actions.

"Try finding the real one!" The clones taunted. "Unless you're too weak and pathetic to try."

That was when Yurio finally pounced on a random clone, expecting it to just disappear but it didn't much to their surprise, no, it was a physical clone! "What the hell is going on?" Yurio gasped as the clone used his strength to push him off, creating a new sharp weapon from out of thin air as he wove it at the ice sabertooth tiger.

"I don't know, but looks like our battle is here," Otabek growled as his eyes narrowed at the other clones who readied their weapons. "Whether we like it or not."

Viktor, on the other hand, was feeling frustrated that Adrik has pulled this last minute stunt just before he could overpower him as he looked around to try to find the real person who must have been hiding in the shadows. Unfortunately, what he didn't realize was that Adrik was literally in the shadows, slowly creeping about, waiting for the right moment to strike but both of them didn't anticipate Yuuri to notice.

Yuuri's eyes widened as he watched the approaching shadow of Adrik slowly approaching Viktor, who found himself fighting off a group of stone soldiers, completely oblivious to the approaching danger but that wasn't the only thing that consumed him with fear. He could see Adrik's arms stretched out of the shadows as he emerged from the darkness right behind Viktor, holding the silver chalice out and ready to steal magic from its next victim!

And Viktor was too distracted defending himself to even notice!

Yuuri: NO! NOT VIKTOR! *cries* NOO, IT CAN'T BE HAPPENING!

Viktor: *mouth still taped but trying to break free from being tied up to comfort Yuuri*

Me: Oh it's happening Yuuri, *smirks* But you two haven't seen anything yet.

Yuuri: *cries some more* Please tell me there's some way to save Viktor!

Me: Just wait, remember chapter 1, and see.

Yurio: *rolls his eyes, turns to audience* Midnight hopes you enjoyed this chapter, remember to review to see what happens next and what will become of King Viktor.
