Chapter 844 Celica's Imagination
-----
In that moment, Mist remembered the strange voice she heard when Sylphy entrusted her a part of her powers into her, and awakened her Talents...
Dig!
[Mist] has awakened the [Talents]: [Celestial Light Bow Arts (A)] [Revitalizing Magic (B)]!]
Celestial Light Bow Arts and Revitalizing Magic. Both of these Talents were powers Mist has been developing restlessly, but that could had never been able to bring to such heights alone with so little time since she started training for real...
Without a doubt, it was a gift she simply couldn't waste, even more now, that she found the resolve to fight because she wanted to protect someone much weaker than her, that even though was weaker, was protecting her with everything she had!
Memories of when she was even littler, when she was a tiny baby emerged in her mind. When her mother died in front of her eyes, when she was barely two years old...
It wasn't by humans, but by monsters. The monsters that her mother and she encountered when they ran away from the war happening in the human continent.
She remembered the helplessness, and how at the end she was saved by Mary, the nun of the orphanage...
"KYUUUUH!"
Mist could no longer just be a tiny weak girl anymore! Not after she decided to accompany Sylphy, Aquarina, Celeste, and Zack into this adventure.
"[Celestial Light Bow Arts]" Mist's eyes shone brightly with divine golden light, her aura spreading out, as her Beast Aura, in the shape of a beautiful white crane, appeared.
She pointed her bow at the huge spider in front of her, aiming at the legs, and then channeling her magic into a powerful, lightning and light-made arrow.
"[Lightning Flash Arrow]!"
FLAAASH!
The arrow was shoot at an incredibly fast speed, piercing through the gigantic spider's legs, targeting the weak joints, and making them explode right away!
BOOOM!
Not only that, with her mana, she controlled the arrow and made it circle around the entire spider's legs, destroying most of them except two!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"SHYAAAAARGGHHH...!"
BAAAM...!
The huge spider fell into the floor, vomiting green blood and groaning, it was now unable to move! The arrow disappeared after a few seconds, as Mist quickly ran towards Snowflake and hugged him.
"Snowflake!"
"Kyuuuh..."n..OVELbIn
"I'm sorry! I was dumb... I-I'll fight!"
"Kyuwah!"
Snowflake panicked, pointing at the upcoming monsters... Mist thankfully had a lot of Mana, the most Mana out of her friends aside from Aquarina and Sylphy, actually.
"[Multiple Magic Arrow Creation]!"
Mist created a single arrow and fired it against the incoming monsters, which quickly separated into five different arrows made of lightning and light! The arrows swiftly moved and exploded, while flying around and causing even more explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOOM!
"W-Woah..." Mist stepped back, as she saw that her precise and dexterous manipulation of her arrows allowed her to incapacitate the easily by destroying their leg joints, in just a few seconds, most of them fell into the floor. "This power..."
"SHAAARRGH!"
The monsters were still alive, slowly dying out of bleeding. Mist's magic arrows weren't strong enough to pierce through their main bodies' exoskeletons, but they could target leg joins and make them collapse, leaving them completely helpless.
"Kyyuuh!"
However, that wasn't all, as Snowflake flew into the still living spider in front of Mist and dug into its open mandibles, reaching its insides, and sucking all the Mana out of its Mana Crystal, coming back empowered with tons of mana!
FLAAASH!
"E-Eh?! Right, Spirits can absorb Mana directly from things...!" Mist was surprised.
"SHAAAAAH!"
However, Mist couldn't celebrate much, more and more monsters kept coming! She had incapacitated at least eight of them, but there were still forty-two more to go.
"Kyu, kyuuuwah!"
FLUOOSH!
Snowflake suddenly flew into Mist's bow, fusing with it!
FLAAAAAASH!
A powerful spiritual light was imbued into Mist's bow, realizing that this was the power of Spirits, Spirit Fusion, and Spiritual Infusion. The ability of spirits to merge with the user or their weapons.
"Snowflake..." Mist felt filled with resolve. "Alright... let's do this!" The girl valiantly pointed her arrows at the monsters, fighting for her life.
Meanwhile, a similar sight could be seen just a few meters away from Mist, on a different area of the dungeon where Celica ended being brought.
"Nobody's here, do you think something's wrong going on, Mister Teddy?" She sighed, as she was being carried by a huge teddy bear golem, while two other golems, one resembling a huge dragon plushie and the other a rabbit were tanking the hits from a dozen giant insect monsters.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CRAAASH!
"Mister Dragon, Dark Breath!" Celica commanded.
"ROOOOAARRR!"
The dragon made of plushie opened its huge jaws, unleashing a beam of darkness that threw the insects away...
BOOOOOMMM!!!
However, none died. They were only slightly damaged at most. The same was for Mister Rabbit's attacks, her golems were sturdy, but their attack power left to be desired.
"I think we might've been teleported to separate places..." Celica sighed. "Do you think so?"
"Groooohh..." Mister Teddy groaned, nodding silently.
"I'm scared..." She sighed, hugging Mister Teddy's big body. "Is everyone okay?"
"Groooh! GROAH!"
"We need to fight?"
"Grooh!"
"I guess you're right... B-But can we win?"
"GROAR!"
"You're right! I got those Talents that Sylphy helped me awaken... I am not a pushover anymore, right? After all, I decided to grow stronger to protect mommy, so she would never be taken away anymore! But... now I'm away from mommy... It is because I wanted to be cool for her, I can't take my word back."
Celica had a very different mentality than Mist, it seemed that her life and the loneliness she experienced made her slightly emotionless, at the same time as "strange" by many, as she mostly interacted with imaginary beings, which later on she attributed to the golems she made with her own powers.
However, she was still a good and honest girl, that only wanted the best for her friends... If she had come all the way here, there was no point in not giving it her all!
"T-Then let's do something new..." Celica said, pointing her hands at Mister Dragon and Mister Rabbit, both who were already slowly falling apart. "[Demonic Puppet Creation]"
FLAAAASH!
