Chapter 1361: Felicia's Almighty Magic Power
Using her fantastic powers, Felicia rewrote the very rules of a dungeon, a feat she had never attained until now, after somehow and finally attaining a greater level of enlightenment through the analysis of the world through yet another lenses.
The summoning of Demonic Beasts was rapidly stopped, but it had become a rather big problem as she sealed the dungeon's first floor, as a few thousand Demonic Beasts had been summoned at the end.
Yes, there were roughly five thousand out there...
"Oh, I think I was a bit slow at that..." Felicia sighed. "Well, what can I do about that?"
She noticed the party led by her second body arriving in the Village of Eden, as Felicia smiled with a nod, quickly looking back at the Demonic Beasts.
"Five thousand all on their own might be unrealistic..." she muttered. "They're still growing after all, let's see... How about I take down half of all of you then?"
She flew into the skies again, spreading her Alchemy Domain and sensing the world itself as part of her materials and ingredients for alchemy.
"All of this leftover Mana that leaked out after the seal was placed... I'll use it as an element." The Element of Mana, the energy of magic that flowed through everything. Most people never thought of it as an actual element, but as a force of nature, or perhaps a part of the universe itself.
The true nature, its existence, and why it does what it does, had never been studied... Except from Felicia, who since her youngest years, has been endlessly analyzing the properties of Mana and Magic itself.
"I might be the only one that has attained this too..." she giggled. "{Divine Geomancy + Divine Shape Forge}"
FLUOOOSH!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, thousands of weapons materialized out of thin air, all of the pure Mana itself crystalized and then hardened like the hardest of metals, becoming crystalline, glass-like spears, swords, and axes.
"{Mana Weapon Rain}"
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The weapons made of pure compressed Mana and nothing else at all, no element, nothing even in the slightest, rushed down, the element of Mana itself was something that not many had tamed, and that perhaps only Felicia could employ in such a way.
"Just like the winds, just like the fire, just like water, Mana is also an element of nature," she said. "Made up of its own chemical compound, Mana possesses the miraculous chemical power to attract and generate other elements based in the level of fluctuation and movements of its own particles! But essentially, it means it can be also used on its purest form and take upon any shape."
BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!
The explosions consumed mana within their perimeters, and absorbed the pure essence of the demonic beasts, making them explode and vaporize instantly, their elements, everything was sent into disarray.
Selene watched in disbelief as she saw Felicia completely wipe out over two thousand Demonic Beasts in less than a minute, greatly lowering the challenge of this invasion!
"A-Amazing...! P-Please kill the rest too!" Selene cried.
"Sorry, can't do!" laughed Felicia. "I can't just waste all my Mana, can't I? You'll have to take care of the rest and grow stronger from it, alright?"
"E-Eeeh?!" Selene was shocked she got such an answer.
Felicia knew that she could certainly erase all the demonic beasts in here if she wanted with her newfound powers, but that wouldn't be fun for those that had yet to catch up with her, right?
She wanted the young'uns to grow up through challenges and so on, so she couldn't just take away all the fun from them!
"First body, I'm here!"
"Sure, let's switch then."
And right in that moment, her second body arrived. Sharing the same soul and minds, she talked to herself just to pretend they were still separate.
CLAP!
They clapped their hands, as Felicia used her witch broom to fly into the skies, leaving her Homunculus Familiar in here, a very useful second body!
"We're here!"
Ivy, Celica, and Celeste's voices reverberated across the skies, as they rapidly descended, reaching everyone else.
They also came with Naturia and Yggdra, who rapidly started healing all the wounded warriors that Selene couldn't heal due to being so busy keeping the barrier.
"Ivy!" Selene hugged Ivy amidst the battle outside. "You're back- And you're huge! W-What happened?!"
"A lot... happened..." Ivy sighed, hugging Selene. "Bark... died to protect me and... His powers, even his body, he gave them to me..."
"B-Bark died...?!" Selene cried. "No... Bark!" she hugged Ivy, crying on her shoulders.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Ivy cried back. "It's all my fault... If only I... I wasn't so stupid- If only I...!"
"He... he gave you... his body and powers?" muttered Selene. "I can sense him within you. I don't know how but... His very soul has become your strength now... I... it doesn't feel like he's exactly dead."
"I don't know either how it happened, but he... I think he merged with me, before completely dying..." sighed Ivy. "I could once hear his voice, but it stopped now... I think he might have...
Ugh..."
"F-For now... let's talk about that later, for now... we must concentrate on the present..." Selene tried to be strong, even as she was crying. "We have to protect our people, Ivy! Like Bark would have wanted, okay?"
"Yes, I know!" Ivy nodded, full of determination. "I'll protect them with the powers he gifted me, combined with mine... I have become strong, stronger than I could have never hoped to become... And I'll use this power to protect you, and everyone here. Don't worry."
Ivy quickly glanced into the distance, the Demonic Beasts attacking the barrier and trying to tear it apart, as her Spiritual Powers surged after eating the Mana Fruits and Spirit Leaves of Naturia, and then glanced at a strange dragon-shaped fruit in her hands. Sylphy had given her one of these, and also a second for Selene.
"Selene, take this," Ivy said, giving her the green fruit. "Sylphy said you should eat one, so you can get stronger and have more vitality!"
"A dragon... fruit?" Selene glanced at the fruit. "Okay!"
The two didn't hesitate, eating the fruits as they saw Celica and Celeste quickly beginning to
clash against the Demonic Beasts.
And then, their bodies started to transform, awakening draconic powers.
FLAAASH!
