Chapter 901 Trying Out New Abilities
-----
After Elena\'s amazing new Physique, I checked on how Monica was handling things. She had absorbed the materials\' essence fully into her body, and the compatibility was rather exceptional as I thought. And just as I thought, the connection with our BNLO Avatars does have to do a lot with how we transform our Physiques.
Of course, the materials used also apply to the whole transformation too, just like it happened to me when I finally was able to evolve my Physique to Tier 2 and added the feathers of Angelina into the equation, turning me into some sort of half-angel being.
[The [Magic Circle (Tier 1: Rank 8)] within Monica\'s Heart has Ranked Up to Tier 2: Rank 1]
[She has gained +300 Curse Runes.]
[1 Curse Rune equal to 5 Darkness, Phantom, and Death Runes.]
[Monica has gained the new Spells: [Blinding Curse] and [Paralyzing Curse]
[Monica has undergone body evolution and has awakened the [Accursed Ghost Princess Physique (Tier 1: Rank 1)]
[Monica\'s [Physique] has acquired the following engraved Physique Abilities: [Phantasmal Body], [Ghostly Touch], [Soul Storage], [Cursed Phantom Claws].]
And just as I imagined, to an extent it was! She gained something like a ghost physique? It fits her BNLO avatar the most, but this might come from an even deeper affinity with what she had gone through before.
After all, because of the whole school incident where that ghost of nightmares named Dorothea took over her soul as a vessel, Monica had her magical powers forcefully awakened within her soul.
And even when we killed Dorothea, she kept the powers that ghost had within her soul, which probably slowly have melded into her as she used magic.
This is also probably the reason why her curse magic is so strong, but also why it drains her mana so quickly to just conjure one or two spells…
But with the new Abilities she got from her weapon that can let her drain mana, that problem should be alleviated to an extent…
Anyways, moving to her new physique abilities, Phantasmal Body is straightforward, I suppose she can turn parts of her body into a ghost, but it might be difficult for the whole body to turn into one right now.
Ghostly Touch should be a physical contact attack using her phantasmal-transformed hands, could either deal direct damage to the soul or just deal direct magic damage to the body, ignoring armor or external defenses.
Soul Storage is a mysterious one… But I imagine it could either be a small storage she could now have inside her soul, or quite literally having the ability to store souls inside of her…? The latter sounds a bit too creepy.
Lastly, Cursed Phantom Claws sounds like a strong phantasmal attack that uses her curses to deal damage to foes physically, maybe…
"Uwaah! I-I became a ghost again…" Monica panicked, looking at her own body quickly gaining the powers of a ghost.
Although she had little control over it at the moment, accidentally phasing through physical objects but midway through. Sometimes only her hands would and not the rest of her body, so she might get stuck sometimes.
"It\'s honestly pretty cool though!" Elisa was amazed. "Y-You can really turn into a ghost now! Maybe you could phase through things? That could be surprisingly useful for so many things!"
"I-Is that so?" Monica was a bit shy, blushing after getting Elisa\'s attention. "I wonder if it could make me immune to physical attacks…"
"We can find out now while we train!" Anna said. "I\'ll tell my familiars to attack you!"
"W-Wait a second!" Monica panicked quite a lot.
We watched my daughter, and her friends practice their magic and their weapon abilities to gauge their strength and how they could be useful in real battles. Anna was eager to spar and try out all the crazy spells she had, so my daughter accepted to go easy on her girlfriend.
"Alright send them all to me! They can be revived after I slay them, right?" Wondered Elena.
"Yes, they turn into light and then I can summon them again, but it costs mana so I would prefer if you didn\'t kill them…" Anna laughed a bit.
"Okay, I\'ll go easy on them too." My daughter shrugged. She wielded her knife, which quickly absorbed her powers and then activated its own ability, turning into a long black and red katana, overflowing with shadows and phantasmal flames.
At the same time, Anna nodded. She waved her staff and quickly summoned another of her Familiars, a huge steel golem of over three meters and a half, made completely of hard and heavy steel. And no, it was not hollow inside either.
"Go! [Spiritual Familiar Blessing]!"
FLAAASH!
A golden light encompassed her Green Wolf, Shadow Crow, Young Phoenix, and Steel Golem. I could feel they became much stronger, faster, and more magically attuned. At least by a boost of 30%.
"[Triple Slash]!"
My daughter greeted the four beasts with a warning attack first, swinging her katana three times, as three powerful slashes of shadows were released. The Steel Golem rushed forwards, the three slashes hit it, pushing it back. Each blow was strong enough to leave deep dents on the golem\'s body, but it had yet to die.
The three other Familiars quickly surrounded Elena. The Young Phoenix fired a fiery breath of flames towards her, while the Shadow Crow unleashed sharp black feather projectiles, and the Green Wolf conjured wooden roots and spears emerging from the ground below my daughter\'s legs.
Elena\'s eyes shone with bright red light, turning into a blue Oni, her muscles became stronger and strengthened too. I could tell, as her body steeled itself and as she became more serious, she activated her two other new physique abilities, [Sword Master\'s Body] and [Phantasmal Reflexes].
"They\'re strong but way too slow."
And then, her very steps melded with shadows, as she swung her katana while melding with the darkness and evading each attack, appearing and disappearing in front and behind the summons, a rain of slashing attacks covering the familiars on countless wounds.
"[Phantom Slash Flurry]"
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
