Magic!? I wish I knew I had this earlier, But I gotta focus on not dying!

I continue to devour the snow like pizza, but I don’t taste with my mouth, instead I do with my feet… and bloody snow tastes awful, but that’s not the main focus.

I need to go deep enough where the frog can’t get me even if I pass out from lack of oxygen, and if I die he won’t be able to enjoy my bee body. But there’s a problem, the frog tongue, what if it prevents me from going further by getting stuck somehow?

Ok, I got deep enough to where only my stinger is out, hope the tongue doesn’t cause any problems.

I dig deeper, the frog tongue slips in without a problem, but it’s starting to collect snow, and I’m getting full. I think the frog may arrive soon, but I wonder what’s taking it so long to get here.

I continue deeper, eventually hitting dirt. I looked back at the entrance to the tunnel, standing there was the frog, trying to dig out the tunnel and make it bigger to get to me.

Seeing that it was struggling with that, I decided to try and remove the tongue still stuck to my stinger, how? By eating it. Seeing that my stinger can easily pierce it makes me think it’s very easy to rip and tear, and if I tried anything else like pulling it off, my legs would get stuck.

I twist and bend my body to bite the tongue but I don’t quite reach it.

Curse my fluffy cuteness!

I crawl in a circle eating any ice in my path, eventually I'm at the end of the tongue, so I grab and pull.

Ow! Pulling it was worth a shot… not!

Not only did I almost pull my stinger out, my mandibles were now stuck to the tongue! I am now a perfect circle. I squeeze my mandibles shut, cutting through the tongue, now my mandibles are glued shut, still stuck to the tongue, and I got a piece of tongue in my mouth, which I swallow.

Even if I can’t taste it, gross! But now what? I’m completely immobilized, mandibles closed forever I can’t move! Now I’m gonna die, what a trashy death!… Wait, I got magic!

I remember that I had ice magic, but didn’t know how to use it.

Go! Ice! Frozen water! Something!?

I frantically search my fantasy novel memories to try and find an answer that might help me use magic.

Ok… they normally imagine an image of what you want… ok, uh, ice… ice… ice!… ice! ice! ice! ice! ice! Just shoot it!

I suddenly feel a freezing sensation in my mouth.

Ow! Ow! Ow! Cold! Why in my mouth!? That’s not what I meant by just shoot it! (Beehave, don’t take that outta context)

My mandibles start freezing over and the ice starts spreading to the frogs tongue. I violently shake my head causing me to slam it into the ground and walls without realizing it because I don’t feel pain, but I do feel discomfort… and cold, probably heat too.

Cold! Cold, Cold! Off! Please! Power off! Alexa, stop it!

I suddenly hear I shatter, I then realized what I’ve been doing.

Did I break my skull… no, the ice just froze the tongue and all sticky saliva… what!

I apparently froze the tongue so much that it eventually shattered from the impact of hitting the ground because of my hand slamming. Also freezing the saliva removes all sticky properties.

…the ice finally stopped… and I’m free! Yes! Oh, the frog just crawled into the hole with me… WHAT!?

[cold resistance went up to level 2!]

Shadup!

And something important is that I only destroyed half the tongue, so my stinger is still stuck, but I’m at least lighter if I fly.

Frog wanna fight? Well ima firin mah lazor!

I crawl around the circle tunnel I made to reach the frog, I then open my mandibles and fire my ice laser, but I don’t.

What!? You were torturing me earlier! Why not fire now!? Shoot! Shoot! Shoot!

*click*

…

A EMPTY MAGAZINE CLICK!? WHAT'S THIS BULL!?

The frog opens its mouth preparing to fire its remaining tongue. I crawl backwards but i move very slow and the tongue stuck to me is making it difficult to back up.

my magic is apparently a gun, and i can't reverse… I could catch the tongue, but then I'd get stuck. If it's smart I could threaten it by catching it, it wouldn't want to lose its last weapon.

The frog shoots its tongue aiming straight for my face, but that's where my mandibles are. I open my mandibles and snap at the tongue, but before my mandibles close, the frog stops its tongue and pulls it back into its mouth.

Just as I thought… it's cowardly! Stupid frog, I got two weapons and you? Well… three… but it's one now because you would smother yourself if you did that smoke thing again.

Me and the frog stare for a while… Like a long time, so long I actually zoned out and started to daydream about killing super soldiers as an alien in a certain game.

*ding*

Huh? What was that? A ding? Did the frog do that?

I look at the frog and see that nothing has changed with it.

Why was there a ding? Is something telling me to hurry and escape? I wish I could, but the frog is in the way.

Maybe I could try to laser again, but I don't know how fast my magic recharges, or if it does at all.

I open my mandibles to fire my ice laser, which took awhile, magic is really hard to use… maybe I'm not supposed to brute force my magic?

Eventually I feel the air between my mandibles get colder and colder, it gets so cold my mandibles freeze a bit, good thing they're open.

Why does it get so cold? Isn't this a bit over powered… Well it completely drains my mana so I guess it's fair.

Finally a blue orb appears between my mandibles, then it fires. The frog sees this and attempts to get back but it gets stuck in the tunnel.

You just dug your own grave, literally… but I dug most of it.

The ice laser slams into the frog's head making a Crack sound pushing it back, the frog struggles as it starts freezing over.

HaHaHa! Eat ice, turret frog!… Is that blood? Why is it bleeding? I didn't think my laser had such a physical impact.

When my magic runs out and my laser stops, I see the area where the laser hit, it was covered in a thick ice with frozen blood under it like a casing. The laser froze half its body including a single leg, but even so, it was still alive.

How are you alive!? I don't know how strong my magic Is but I'm sure that it should've killed you.

[Ice magic went up to lv3!]
