Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

902 The Girls Have Gotten Even Stronger

A flurry of sword attacks made of shadows and phantom flames impacted the rest of Anna's Familiars, pushing them all away at the same time. Anna gasped as she saw Elena easily overwhelm all her Familiars but didn't gave up either. She swiftly activated her Skills and Abilities and decided to fight more seriously.

"[Mana Connection]! [Familiar And Summoner Connection]!"

I saw threads of her Mana reach her Familiars, as they were connected to her senses and mana, tuning better to her and somehow sharing a part of their power with her too. And the best part was that their boosted stats from the Blessing Spell were also given to her, even increasing her own maximum Mana!

FLAAASH!

"Oh?"

Elena couldn't help but feel surprised, glancing at Anna conjure her mysterious magic. A wave of blueish and gray colored mana was released from her hands, imbuing itself into her staff-broom and swiftly conjuring a barrage of elemental magic.

"[Familiar Elemental Missile: Green Wolf's Wooden Spears]!"

Spears appeared around Elena in a second, several of them aiming not at her vitals but at her legs or an arm. Elena swiftly evaded them, and those that managed to touch her were swiftly cut down to pieces before piercing anything.

She was able to choose a set of clothes to turn into "armor" with my Potential Cubes and Materials, so although it looked like she was just wearing a black shirt of Metallica and blue jeans, it was as if she had a steel armor on top. This further made this sparring safer.

"Pretty alright but not enough."

Elena rushed directly towards Anna, but Anna commanded her Familiars with a mere thought, the Steel Golem landed over Elena in a second, giving a wider jump than Elena anticipated.

BAAAM!

She evaded barely in time, only for the Green Wolf roots to wrap around her arms, managing to restraint her for at least a few seconds. But the beast didn't stop there, swiftly opening its jaws to bite her sword-wielding hand and force her to drop the weapon, only to be cut down to pieces by Elena's erupting [Beginner Sword Ki Aura], which also freed her from the roots.

SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!

What followed afterwards was a storm of shadow feather projectiles and flames from the Shadow Crow and the Phoenix, which all bombarded Elena in the momentum and forced her to step back. Just what Anna wanted, her magic quickly activating.

"[Familiar Elemental Missile: Shadow Crow's Shadow Trap]"

A shadow appeared beneath my daughter's feet, trapping her on place. She swiftly tried to free herself, almost managing, but only to be pushed down by the extremely heavy Steel Golem, who slammed her down as strongly as it could.

"Ugh…! Okay, this is a bit harder now…!" As Elena struggled, Anna quickly thought she had won, laughing victoriously.

"Hehehe, I won! Now you owe me an ice cream, with three flavors!" Anna joked around.

"Huh? Who said I've lost?"

However, my daughter wasn't done yet, in a split of a second, a burst of dark power surged from within her, combined with dark red essence and energies. Red tattoos appeared around her body, further boosting her power.

"Those red tattoos… Are those another of her abilities?" Mark asked. "It feels like her power at least doubled with it!"

"Yes, that must be her [Red Oni's Physical Enhancement Red Tattoos], they eat away her stamina very quickly though." I nodded. "She's gambling to end the match with the next attack."

CRAAASH!

As she freed herself from the shadows, the steel golem was unable to contain more of her rampaging power, quickly being overwhelmed and cut down into two pieces by my daughter's katana. Elena then stepped forwards, appearing right behind Anna, her Aura erupting as her Beginner Sword Ki Aura melded with another of her abilities, a rain of shadow swords descended upon Anna.

"I got you at point blank! [Familiar Elemental Missile: Steel Golem's Boulder Cannon]!"

However, Anna simply smiled defiantly, firing a giant boulder right at point-blank towards Elena, the boulder was made entirely out of a mana construct imitating steel, but twice as durable. My daughter's eyes widened, as the boulder was about to crush her.

"You're pretty amazing, Anna!" My daughter simple greeted the steel boulder head-on, hitting it with her forehead and spreading a tiny crack into it. She was incredibly tough! "[Graveyard Of Swords]"

And that wasn't all, she went all-out as well, summoning a pseudo domain around her and Anna. Everything around them resembled a small cliff below the moonlight, surrounded by a silent forest.

Over this cliff, there were hundreds of old swords resting, piercing the ground, attached to them were the clothes or hats of the swordsmen that once wielded them.

Anna tried to move but couldn't, it was as if time had stopped only for her.

"[Moonlight Blade]"

SLAAASH!

The moon above the domain fueled her katana's power, as a pink and silver colored slash pierced through the boulder and hit Anna, her armor holding back the prowess as she was thrown away with an aggressive thud.

BAAM!

The match ended as the domain disappeared in an instant, my daughter sighed in relief, her katana going back to its knife form, as she pocketed it away. She looked at Anna with a confident smile.

"Ugh…! Ah, I'm alive?!" Anna opened her eyes in surprise.

"Of course you are, I would have never struck you down for real." Elena laughed. "I had no bloodlust; didn't you notice how gently I was hitting you?"

"Gently?! I feel like without the armor a bone or two would have broken!" Anna pouted.

"Well, you didn't go easy on me either…" My daughter said.

"R-Right, I guess we are even! Good match, this really gave me a better insight about how my abilities work." Anna nodded.

"That's nice! Now you owe me the ice cream." My daughter joked with her.

"Fine…" Anna sighed, giving her a kiss. "But you owed me that kiss."

"E-Eh? In front of mom?! Ah, this is embarrassing…" Elena covered her face, quickly changing her mood from the overconfident swordswoman to a shy girl.

"Hahaha! Anyways, well done. Now it's turn to Elisa and Monica! Everyone has to keep practicing for now." I said, guiding the girls.

We spent a good two hours learning and teaching them how to properly use magic better, until we decided to take a bath together with Mark.
