"Wow, she cut the entire arm in seconds!" Jenny said at our side, she had also accompanied us to the gym to exercise enough. "Did you said she was a newbie?!"
"She certainly got potential!" Rita was amazed as well.
"W-Wow, didn't her vibe… kind of changed?" Asked Lily.
"She sure changed more than just appearance…" Monica nodded. "S-She's a bit scary…"
"Her appearance… It really looks like her Avatar, even you don't change that much either. You can't turn into an Yggdragon as well, right?" Mark wondered.
"Yeah, I can't." I nodded. "And you can't become the giant you're in Arcadia either. At most, we can partially shapeshift parts of our bodies but… a total, complete transformation is impossible. Yet…"
"Your daughter just kind of did it…" Mark laughed over the ridiculousness of Elena's potential.
"Maybe all those years playing the game kind of made her identify herself with her Avatar to a completely different level than us!" Rita wondered.
"I wonder…" I smiled.
FLUOOOSH!
A mighty Aura emerged from Elena's body, as her pale white skin turned clear blue, she gained two black horns growing from her forehead, and her black hair turned silvery-white, while her eyes gained a fierce sharpness, glowing with crimson light.
"You had to just run into me like that…" Elena said, her personality suddenly switching to her Avatar's persona. "You damn bastard, I'm going to cut you down into pieces!" A smile surged in her lips.
FLAAASH!
In a mere second, before the Hollow could attack again, she suddenly disappeared, resembling a blue blur as she ran right behind the monster!
The dagger she was holding overflowed with darkness energy, her aura turning completely black, as several swords made of this Darkness Aura were fired at the Hollow's back!
"[Summon Darkness Swords]!"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The Darkness Swords flew down, impaling the Hollow's body on several parts, making half its body get stuck on the ground!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLAAASH!
"Gryyaaarrggh! Gruuaagh!"
The Hollow started struggling and groaning, its mouth opened wide, pointing it at Elena and firing a mighty beam of corrupted mana!
TRUUUMMM…!
"They can shoot beams too?!" Elena said for a second, surprised but still somehow calm. All her nervousness and panic was gone once she transformed. "Oh well, this'll do! [Summon Darkness Sword]!"
She started running in circles, evading the beam as her dagger suddenly absorbed her Aura of Darkness, growing into the form of a Darkness Sword! So it as a multi-purpose spell! Not only they can be used as projectiles, but also to summon a stronger weapon.
FLAASH!
She leaped into midair right above the Hollow with perfect precision and tenacity, her black sword gathered her Mana, as the dagger's special ability activated, increasing the weapon's ATK even further by +30% temporarily.
And on top of that…
"[Might of the Oni]!"
FLUOSH!
Her Aura suddenly combined Darkness with Phantom Energy, making a huge muscular female blue Oni emerge behind her back, giving her even more strength!
CLAAAASSHH!!!
With a single strike channeling her powers, the Hollow was quickly flattened over the ground, its entire body splattering over the alley and leaving behind some black goo…
"Amazing…" I said. "So this is the power of her Dark Abyss Sword Magic Circle, a truly unique magic circle!"
"GRUOOHHH!"
"GRAAAHHH!"
However, the other Hollows weren't going to just watch, quickly rushing towards Elena from the back, their long and sleek arms reaching her.
"[Phantom Blade]… [Mana Slash]!"
Her Darkness Sword suddenly changed appearance again, taking the form of a katana made of phantasmal energies, which she swung with all her force against the nearby Hollows with the power of a Mana Slash!
SLAAAASSSHHH!!!
The mighty slash of darkness and phantasmal flames slashed not only through their arms, but one of them ended being sliced into two halves, its core shattering on the spot!
CRAAASH!
"G-Graagh…"
The other managed to save its life, its body shapeshifting into a huge wolf-like form and leaping towards her with its jaws wide open!
"MANAAAA!"
"Not even enough!" Elena smiled. "[Pseudo Sword Ki Aura]! [Summon Darkness Swords]! [Might of the Oni]!"
Suddenly, to go even more over the top, she conjured all three spells at once, her aura resembling a giant and muscular blue Oni gained two darkness swords and two phantom swords, unleashing a rush of slashing attacks against the wolf-shaped Hollow, slicing it into pieces!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLAASH!
"GRYYYAARGHH…!"
With an agonizing shriek, the Hollow was no more, perishing on the spot without even managing to touch my daughter at all!
We were all left completely speechless… And she's still Tier 1!
"She's amazing! She's incredible! S-She could be a superhero…" Monica seemed fascinated.
"So cool! Your daughter's not bad at all!" Rita laughed.
"Yeah, for sure…" Lily nodded.
"W-Woah, I also wanna be cool like her!" Jenny complained. "Not fair! I'm going to do cool stuff too! Where are more Hollows for me to defeat?!"
"Hahaha, I guess you should get some training too." Mark nodded.
"Yeah, look, the battle attracted a few more." I said, pointing at the buildings.
From across the walls and ceilings, dozens of Hollows started slowly making their way here. Some walked like bugs around the walls, others moved like slugs, some even flew.
"Not another step!" Suddenly, my daughter pointed her multiple swords through her Oni Aura at us. "They're all mine…" She smiled devilishly.
As the Hollows got closer, she seemed to be growing more and more confident!
"And I'll- Ugh?!"
POOF!
Suddenly, her appearance went back to normal, running out of Mana, and falling to her knees in exhaustion.
"Aghh… Uuugh... Oof, I'm tired…" She cried. "My whole body hurts! And- Uagh!"
She quickly gave a very unbefitting little shriek as the Hollows were right next to her!
"Hah, I knew this would happen, you shouldn't be overconfident!" I sighed, quickly conjuring a barrier before their claws could reach her!
CLAAASH! CLAAASH! CLAAASH!
"Hahhh… Thank you mom." She sighed in relief.
"Alright, let's take care of these guys while Elena takes a break then!" I commanded my small group. "Monica… Do you want to give it a try and fight too?"
"C-Can I fight?" She wondered.
"It should be possible as long as you're willing." I explained.
"T-Then... I-I'm willing...!" Monica nodded, suddenly gaining more resolve after seeing my daughter fight.
