"Help?! Are you insane?!" Zack cried.
"And you're thinking of leaving your mother to fight that monster alone!?" I roared back at Zack, as he quickly fell silent.
"Sylphy… I'll fight as well!" Aquarina said without hesitation.
"So, Zack?!" I asked.
Zack looked back at me. He fully knew that these monsters were completely different than what we had fought before. The scene of Valkyrie and Ninhursag fighting them was even gruesome. Valkyrie's entire body was being filled with wounds at the same time as Ninhursag was struggling.
Zack gripped his fists furiously, as his youthful face suddenly gained, for a few seconds, the furious expression of a bear desiring to fight and protect his territory.
"I'll do it, fine!" Zack finally made up his mind, as I looked back at mother.
"Mother, stay there and protect yourself!" I said.
"Eh? S-Sylphy?! Wait!" My mother cried, however she couldn't move any more than that.
I called upon Furoh as he roared like a furious wolf, his entire body was suddenly encompassed by winds as several magic circles invoking low tier wind spells emerged, enhancing his speed, and even giving him the ability to step over the empty air itself.
This was thanks to Furoh's special Skill [Mimicry] which allows him to imitate a small part of the power of whatever he's mimicking, and the power of the Fenrir was the real deal, as that wolf knew all sorts of magical spells. This literally allowed Furoh to also be able to use several elements at once, even though at less than half their original power.
However, that was more than enough, as he quickly walked across the skies. His beautiful white fur waving around as the winds guided us. Even Zack was incapable of conjuring strong enough winds to lift himself up as if flying across the skies, Furoh had truly become amazing now!
"Let's go!" I led my party as Furoh ran across the skies.
Meanwhile, the enormous and furious Chimera confronted the Lightning Tyrannosaurus form of Ninhursag, slashing across her large body and making her lose a lot of blood. Much like Furoh's Mimicry, Ninhursag was capable of channeling the elemental affinity and power of whatever she transformed into, giving her powerful high tier Lightning Element Magic while in her Lightning Tyrannosaurus form.
"Tier 7 Lightning Magic: Thunderous Cage!"
Without the need for a Magic Circle, Ninhursag went all out, unleashing a destructive explosion of countless of bolts against the Chimera. The three-headed monster ended taking the hit directly, being completely impacted by the thundering magic attack!
The lightning shaped itself as some sort of cage, containing the chimera and trapping the beast in place all while inflicting constant damage against it. Ninhursag seemed completely decided on beating the monster to a pulp. For a moment, I thought she didn't even needed our help.
The chimera roared furiously, as an eruption of darkness emerged from its entire body, the jewel incrusted inside of its forehead shone bright red and black in color, encompassing the monster and suddenly provoking it to evolve out of the blue!
Its entire body mutated, growing twice as big, easily reaching above ten meters of height, its three heads suddenly gained a fourth one in the shape of a wyvern, and the chimera gained a pair of bat-like wings. Meanwhile, its entire lion fur of golden color turned completely black!
"What the…?!" Ninhursag couldn't help but feel shocked.
At the same time, I suddenly heard Alice's voice.
"Sylphy! That monster has suddenly evolved due to the power of the Demonite Core on its forehead! It is already reaching Tier 7 in levels of power… However, it can be weakened if you manage to take away that jewel!" Alice said, quickly giving me a good strategy.
"So if we remove those jewels they can weaken immediately? It is way easier than I imagined!"
"It is not as easy, the monster will furiously defend the jewel, so be careful!"
"Maybe if I give more Mana to Ninhursag…"
"But you'll end up tiring yourself!"
"Didn't we get like a lot of EXP just now? Can't I use it to make [Mana Usage] Capable of Leveling Up?"
"That's… is that what you really want?"
My plan was simple, to offset the pressure I get by overusing Mana into my soul, I simply have to get better at controlling it. [Mana Usage] is a Skill that helps me manipulate Mana, if I can begin leveling it up with this amount of EXP I learned, maybe I can control it better!
[You have exchanged 150000 EXP!]
[The [Mana Usage] Skill has Leveled Up!]
[You have exchanged 100000 EXP!]
[The [Mana Usage: Lv1] Skill has increased to Level 3!]
Skill Proficiency: 0/3000
The ability to naturally wield Mana. Grants the ability to use Mana without any previous required experience, while activated, you can use your own mind to shape the Mana to your liking, but a lot of Mana is utilized. Can be practiced continuously for better and more efficient results. The lowest tiered Mana Usage-type Skill, below Mana Manipulation and Mana Mastery.
Level Bonus (3): Enhances the Control over Mana by +30% and Lessens the Pressure of Mana Usage by -30%.
Level 3! So I can forcefully level up Skills using EXP, just as I thought! However, this is the most I can reach with only 100k EXP, they surely need a lot of it if I don't learn it naturally.
However… it is more than enough!
But this is not enough…!
