Anna Ericsson's Point Of View
/ Rumble!/
The pillar of mana began to dissipate finally and the Elf that I had just defeated had changed. He kept most of his features, but the main difference was that his muscles looked swollen, as if someone blew air into them... It looked monstrous, like he was about to explode from the inside. Not just that, but his mana... It became visible, flickers of light green began to pop and burst out of everywhere on his body. Not just that, but I could also feel that his mana had changed, it's stronger, purer even. If I had to guess, he was an Expert Mage when we first began this fight, but it feels as if he jumped to Master... No, Grandmaster Mage... This could become a bit more difficult... Not just that, but another pillar exploded on the southern cliffs... That's where Sarah is. She can probably handle herself... But what if John's opponent has something like this? Sarah and I need to defeat our opponents quickly so that we can go and help him. Speaking of which, what would be the best way to beat him now? He looks out of his mind... Maybe I should use Divine Channeler now?
/ Swoosh!/
* Grip!*
" !"
" Hahaha! Don't look so surprised! Round 2 starts now, Scum!"
He's fast now! I could see his movement thanks to being a Dodomeki, but I couldn't react in time... He's too fast now... What did he do to himself? He grabbed onto my custom-made staff... What is he planning now? I need to end this quickly before he actu-
* Pull!*
/ Swoosh!/
" Hahahaha!"
He's spinning me!? I'm in the air; it's like a kid spinning around in a circle with a stick in their hands... How could an Elf get this strong so quickly? What did he do? Wait... His clothes... His shirt was ripped off... The spot where I pierced him with the Blade Tree Seed... The spot is healed... Scarred over but healed... Wait!? What's with that small hole on the left side of his chest? It looks like something was there not too long ago? Like someone removing a piercing from an ear. I'm starting to piece this together... He removed something from the left side of his chest and that's what's caused this sudden increase in strength and mana. Okay... Now that I know that I'm not dealing with something I wasn't ready for, I need to find the way to beat this Elf... First things first... It looks like he wants my staff. He can have it for now.
* Release!*
/ Woosh!/
I let go of my staff and I could hear the wind rushing all around me as I was flying through the air from the strength of the Elf as he swung me.
" Huh? Ah, that's no fun!"
" Earth!"
The Elf said something as the tone of his voice seemed to imply that he was somehow sad that I let go of my staff... Either way, I quickly channeled The Earth Goddess's Aura. At first, The Earth Goddess's Aura only increased my defensive ability, but now that I've trained my ability to control and use the Goddesses' Auras with Divine Channeler so much, I've been able to bring out more of the power of the Goddesses from just their Auras. In the case of the Earth Goddess, all of my physical attributes are increased now, not just my defense. I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be needing all of it for this Elf now. On the other hand, there was what was right above my skin, I see the dark, copper-colored aura calmly circulating around me, before, my control was quite rough, the Aura would look like the sea during a storm, but now, it was as calm as a serene lake. It was proof that my control of Divine Channeler had grown. I need to remember to thank John, for allowing me to spend my time mastering my new abilities. With the Earth Goddess's Aura, I easily flipped myself in the air and landed on my feet. Now... The question is how best to defeat this Elf, then get back to John.
