684  Deadly Fangs and Lovely Smiles

While the blue-haired sisters and their teams face their opponents, the other girls do the same. Despite not drawing as much attention as the ice dragon and giant ice bird, other teams also have a large audience.

Take the case of the vampiric mother-daughter duo, Daisy and Rose. While the other groups are solely focused on defeating their opponents, Mommy Vampire sees this as a golden opportunity to teach Rose how to handle tough adversaries.

As earth mages, Rose has always tried to mimic her mother's combat style, conjuring giant hands of solid stone to crush their adversaries, as well as creating stone barriers or anything else that sprouts from their vivid imagination.

Right now, the Naga Elder squaring off against them can see nothing but gigantic stone fists hurled his way by the vampires.

Daisy's power grew greatly after Lucien healed her Blood Nascent, but it took an even bigger boost when he helped her use the dagger in her soul to awaken her Soul Weapon's power.

Her Soul Weapon hasn't changed her way of fighting as it amplifies the power of her already-known earth magic. Also, those beautiful brown pearls dancing around her wrist are like beautiful jewels.

"You're doing well, Rose." Daisy compliments her daughter, maintaining a proud expression and a gentle smile on her lovely face.

Rose swells with pride and excitement, but after a minute and hundreds of rocks hurled at the Naga Elder, she realizes that despite keeping their opponent busy, there's no sign of damage on that damn dark armor.

"What are we doing wrong??" Rose asks her mother.

Daisy had already spotted the issue; in fact, she expected that outcome even before the fight began when she saw that dark armor. But instead of handing Rose the solution immediately, she wants her daughter to find the solution on her own.

"Think well, why aren't our attacks affecting him?" She asks.

Daisy doesn't cease her assault on the Naga Elder, and she can only keep him at bay so easily due to her current great power, giving Rose room to think.

Rose becomes increasingly proud of how amazing her mother is and uses that opportunity to ponder about the Elder Naga's dark armor.

"Are our attacks too weak to breach his defenses?" She asks.

"No." Daisy quickly responds. "Our attacks are strong enough."

Rose ponders a bit more and comes to a conclusion. "So our attacks are not effective against his armor because of... the element of our magic? Yes, our earth attacks have physical impact, and to penetrate a defense purely made of dark energy we need purely elemental attacks!?"

Daisy smiles and nods. "Something like that... physical damage alone isn't enough to penetrate that dark armor, but we can use other methods, especially with elemental energies opposite to the dark one."

"Hmm..." Rose puts on a thoughtful expression. "You've already got something prepared, haven't you, Mom? So why wait and not defeat this bastard right away so we can be the first to do it?"

"Why? To impress Hubby?" Daisy asks in a confident tone. "No, I'd rather use this moment to assess your progress; but if you don't find a solution within the next minute, I'll take care of it."

"I see!" Rose really wants to impress her mother, and of course, also score points in Lucien's book, so she gives it her all.

"An elemental solution..." She thinks out loud, and while Daisy keeps the Naga Elder busy, the little vampire begins to rummage through her storage treasures in search of something useful.

Unlike Daisy, an experienced alchemist who always walks around with various materials, potions, and all sorts of useful things in her pockets, Rose is a carefree young girl, who relies more on Lucien's protection and her own magic than on external items.

Yet, as Rose has been trying to emulate her mother, she also has a small storage of useful items with her. Among some fish herbs and other items to assist in underwater adventures, she finds some of the healing potions made with Lucien's 'essence' and life mana.

"That's it!" She exclaims as she pulls two of those potions from her storage ring. "These potions have a high concentration of life mana, so they can damage the dark armor, right?"

Daisy's first reaction upon seeing those potions, especially the thick strands of white liquid inside them, is to blush. [Even in times like this, he affects us in such a way.]

"Mom?" Rose doesn't notice the slight blush on Daisy's face, so she fears her idea may not have been dark armor.

21:43

"ARGHHHHH!!!!" Not only that, but the potent magic acid made by Daisy infiltrates the Naga's body, good. "I thought the life energy would be effective against the dark-"

"And it is." Daisy quickly responds. "Those potions will work, but... do you really want to waste such treasures on this bastard?"

"Oh..." Rose finally understands that they're talking about using Lucien's 'essence' to destroy an enemy's defenses; that's is fucking weird.

"But I don't have anything else with me now..." Rose regrets not being as prepared as her mother.

"It's okay, dear, you found a solution and that's what matters." Daisy smiles gently again.

"Now, put those potions away for more suitable occasions, I have something more appropriate here." She says as she pulls out flasks of bright yellow liquid from her storage ring.

"Acid!" Rose quickly recognizes that yellow liquid; that acid was made by Daisy, using her earth mana and rare materials, making such liquid lethal and very effective against magical treasures of elements other than earth.

Daisy makes the acid flasks float over to Rose. "Pay attention, Rose, our enemy isn't stupid, he's going to understand what we're about to do, so you need to act quickly at my signal."

"Mom?" Rose is confused but understands Daisy's plan as she grabs the flasks and her mother flies towards the Naga Elder.

Rose wastes no time and follows her mother, who starts engaging the Naga Elder in close combat, using her earth magic to create layers of rock over her skin.

After a minute of intense fighting against the Naga Elder, Daisy receives a severe blow from his dark blade on her arm, which shatters her rock defenses and injures her skin.

"MOM!!!" Rose becomes extremely scared upon seeing her mother getting injured.

But that risky move was part of Daisy's plan, and just when the Naga Elder thinks he has the upper hand, she manages to grab both his arms with giant hands of rock, utilizing all her physical and magical power in a single instant.

"NOW, ROSE!!" Daisy knows she only has a few seconds to keep her opponent immobilized, so she signals to her daughter.

The little vampire wastes no time and swiftly pours the powerful acid from both flasks onto the Naga Elder's dark armor. Such a deadly liquid doesn't affect Daisy's rock hands, but it rapidly corrodes the dark armor.

"ARGHHHHH!!!!" Not only that, but the potent magic acid made by Daisy infiltrates the Naga's body, rapidly melting his flesh and bones.

"We did it!! We really did it!!" Rose becomes overjoyed as she sees their opponent swiftly perishing.

"Yes, darling." Daisy smiles as well, but she can't hide the injury on her arm. "Shh... I think I underestimated my opponent a little."

"Mom?? You..." Rose becomes saddened by her mother's injury, and before she can even retrieve a miraculous potion from her storage ring, Rose stops her and takes out that life mana potion with Lucien's 'essence' once again.

"I think this is an appropriate occasion." Rose quickly offers the potion to her mother.

Daisy blushes again slightly as she smiles and accepts the potion. "Yes... after all, hubby is busy right now."
