Chapter 107 Partial Transformation

A red aura started to form around Elysia as the sight of Shaman had set something off within her.

A system notification suddenly appeared but Elysia only got a brief look before focusing her attention back to Shaman as she was more concerned about her than a notification.

[Bloodline A-

Elysia's eyes turned blood red, and black fur started growing and covering her limbs. Although her figure remained human, outwards she now looked more like a fox. Even her face saw some changes, with streaks of red now coloring her cheeks and a new set of whiskers appearing under her nose.

Elysia's 4 tails had also come out and this time they had bright red tips instead of being fully black, alongside her ears whose tips were colored red as well.

The fire on the spear grew more violent, with some of the flames coming off and circling Elysia, creating rings of fire.

The puppeteer had finally recovered Shaman's body to where it could fight properly but upon seeing Elysia, the puppeteer hesitated to attack.

Elysia was not going to wait around, so she decided to make the first move. Due to her transformation Elysia had gained a temporary boost to all her stats making her faster and stronger. She unleashed a continuous rain of attacks, each one targeting a different spot, keeping the puppeteer busy and with no chance at retaliation.

This time the puppeteer was struggling to block each hit as now Elysia's strength has far surpassed Shaman's.

Elysia's use of the spear has become more proficient and to show off the bit of confidence she has gained, she began to incorporate spinning the spear in combat. Elysia looked even more elegant as she fought as her movements all blended together smoothly, creating a memorizing dance.

Shaman continued to struggle and was slowly getting pushed closer to the wall. The mist started to swirl around violently, Elysia was unsure on what to do and therefore continued to keep up the pressure, waiting to see how the mist would react.

However to Elysia's surprise Shaman suddenly used the [Spatial rift] skill, escaping the barrage of attacks. Elysia became more vigilant and waited for Shaman to reappear since she knew Shaman had to come out after a certain amount of time.

A rift opened up above Elysia but instead of Shaman coming out of it, fire started to gush out. Elysia stood there without moving and took on the flames head on.

The rift closed and Shaman reappeared behind Elysia waiting to see the damage she had done. The mist around Shaman began trembling as Elysia easily dispersed the flames with her spear, coming out unscathed.

The red tips of Elysia's fur began to glow and that red glow slowly creeped further up her tail.

The fire began to swirl faster and a smile appeared on Elysia's face. She felt her body brimming with power and was excited to put it to good use. The mist seemingly got the message and stopped controlling Shaman, heading towards the slumped over skeleton knight.

Shaman's body had fallen limp and Elysia caught Shaman before she hit the ground. Elysia then picked her up and moved her to the end of the hall so that Shaman was a safe distance away.

Elysia could have stopped the mist but she was too high on power to let slip this opportunity of facing off a strong opponent. Elysia had also noticed the mist had left a part of itself on Shaman and quickly used her flames in an attempt to get rid of it. Just like a gas, the mist-like being was evaporated by the flame, leaving no traces of it on Shaman.

Elysia was unsure why the flames did not work on the knight before but had to guess it was because the mist would move, if fire ever got too close.

'Seems like the weakness has been in our faces all along, we just needed to hit the damn thing.' Elysia knew what she had to do and so she walked to the middle of the room and waited for the skeleton knight to rise.

The skeleton knight immediately transformed into its death knight form, knowing full well that if it didn't, it would be defeated rather easily.

Elysia's smile grew and her eyes glowed red, almost looking like she had gone crazy. The skeleton knight had finished its transformation and instantly began its attack. Unlike last time Elysia was now able to see clearly through the knight's attack, reading the trajectory of its greatsword and easily deflecting it, causing it to crash into the ground right next to her.

Elysia stepped forward quickly and spun her spear hitting the skeleton Knight right in the ribs, sending it flying into the ceiling.

The knight fell to the floor and Elysia slammed down with her spear on its back, creating a fiery explosion. Some of the mist was caught by the fire, causing a chunk of the mist to fizzle out, reducing its overall size.

The skeleton let out a dark energy, making Elysia quickly jump away from it. The dark energy started to converge on the great sword, coating it in darkness. Elysia did not like the looks of it and wanted to avoid getting hit by it at all costs.

'This better not be dark magic, it should be forbidden and no normal monster should have access to it.' Elysia now wanted to finish this as soon as possible instead of playing since dark magic could be involved.

Before the skeleton could rise, Elysia pulled out her bow and made an arrow combining all of her arrow skills. She had also infused it with more mana than usual creating this blazing arrow. Elysia jumped back creating as much distance between her and the knight, trying to make sure she doesn't get caught up in the blast.

The knight started to rise and the dark energy had now engulfed it's entire body. Elysia looked over to Shaman who was now laying on the floor, double-checking she was out of range.

With Shaman at a safe distance, Elysia kneeled on the ground to balance herself and fired the arrow. The arrow shot through the hall at high speeds giving no time for the knight to react. The arrow hit the knight picking it up from the ground and continued flying down the hall till it reached the very end.

The knight crashed into the wall and the arrow exploded, the combination of all the fire arrow skills created many mini explosions which then merged into one massive boom, evaporating everything it touched. The dungeon shook and the explosion was so great that it collapsed a part of the ceiling, creating a hole that led directly to the graveyards above.

The explosion burst out through the hole in all its glory, then slowly receded until finally vanishing completely. The skeleton knight had literally been turned to nothingness and Elysia had finally reached level 100 meaning tier 5 was just around the corner.

Shaman began to slowly wake up, her mind reeling from the massive earthquake that Elysia has caused.

She opened her eyes just to see the skeleton getting vaporized into nothingness and Elysia standing in front of her. Seeing this, Shaman finally got a little piece of mind, having just been through an internal struggle which felt like going to hell and back.

Seeing her loved one kill that which has haunted her for the past month allowed her to let her fears slowly fade away.

'Dammit if it was as easy as seeing Elysia kill it I wouldn't have been so adamant on defeating it myself.' Shaman was now fully awake and this grating thought crossed her mind making her curse herself.

'Can I even call this getting over it myself? well let's hope it doesn't come back to bite me.' Shaman was rather worried for the future as she was unable to tell if her trauma had gone for good or was just suppressed temporarily.

"Tch, this fox is so hopeless, feels like i need to keep giving her handouts." The fox goddess wore a rather disappointed face as she watched Shaman on the same holographic screen.

"Oh well she needs to get out of there as soon as possible before she meets that stupid human boy."

"Lets hope she can make use of this blessing as it seems like I won't be able to help you much longer."

The same rumble could be heard just like last time before an old man spoke.

"YOU DARN VIXEN!"
