222 Nightmare Queen Vs. Diamond Princess II (1/2)

One was a young girl of the age of ten wearing silver armor on her legs and a pair of diamond gauntlets on her arms with long black hair and blue eyes.

Right now, she was desperately unleashing a barrage of blows in an attempt to take down her opponent.

”Come on, stick-niece!! Show me how much you've improved!!”

Her adversary was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties but was actually much older than that wearing a bridal red dress and easily dodging or blocking her attacks with little effort.

”Do not call me that!!” Ellie replied.

Her anger started to erupt the more she kept staring at Mia, which caused her to respond with a powerful punch to the ground that forced a storm of silver blades and diamond spears to emerge and try to stab her.

Mia just looked at that with a smirk and unleashed her own storm of diamonds and spikes using her dryad powers to intercept Ellie's move.

The collision caused a rain of blue and red diamonds to start falling from the sky but that did little to slow down their pacing.

Right now, Ellie was just using every chance she had to try and pounce on Mia, very similar to what happened during their first fight.

”You never learn, do you?” Mia commented while grabbing hold of Ellie's shirt during one of her leaps, proceeded to smack her against the ground.

”Gasshhh!!” Ellie cried.

”What was East doing while she prepared you for me? Where is the all-powerful warrior that will finally take me down??” Mia asked while pinning Ellie down with both hands on her shoulders.

Ellie just opened her mouth as wide as she could and used her beastly howl right on Mia's face.

”ROOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!!”

”Ugh!!!” Mia grumbled as she received the full power of a griffin's ability at point-blank.

She released her hands to cover her ears, which gave Ellie the chance to cloak her entire body with metal, grab the woman's face, and headbutt her with all her strength.

”Ouch!!!” Mia cried while covering her forehead and walking backwards.

Ellie didn't stop. While Mia was distracted, the girl made a blade of silver metal with her arm and leaped to stab the woman in the stomach.

Mia saw that coming thought and used her own howl to stop her. Not just a howl, a magic howl which used raw green energy combined with the cry of a monster, an ability that Evlin invented that now belonged to Mia.

However, Ellie didn't panic. She simply raised her left hand and absorbed the power of the howl with her spell-breaker.

”Guaahhhh!!!” Mia yelled as she felt the blessed energy burning her new demon body.

The red bride glared at the girl and buried her hands in the ground to make a pair of giant diamond claws emerge and try to grab her.

Ellie used her future sight and looked for ways to avoid the attack. She assumed she would need to use her blessed metal to boost her speed and run away, but her vision showed something else.

She raised her palm and absorbed the magic energy from one of the red claws, and before she noticed, the diamond changed from red to blue and it was now under her command.

”Hey, Mia!! High-five!!” Ellie shouted as her diamond hand and Mia's red claw collided with each other.

Mia believed they would destroy each other but Ellie's hand was actually stronger and just demolished her claw with no struggle.

”What!!???” Mia screamed, shocked that she would lose in a battle of magic power.

Ellie's giant diamond hand kept moving and closed itself to form a fist that smacked Mia's body and sent her flying.

”Guaaaahhh!!!” the red lady cried as she kept rolling over the grass like a barrel of wine.

Ellie observed the situation and used this chance to catch her breath a little.

”I'm doing it...” she whispered, ”I'm actually doing it!! I can do this... I can do this!!!”

She assumed that Mia would be extremely angry right now but to her surprise, the woman just started to release a disturbing sound of giggling.

” Hihi... Hihihi... Pffft... Hahahahhahahahaha!!!” Mia laughed while trying to hug her belly from how much her stomach was hurting.

Ellie just felt confused but still tried to keep her guard up.

”YES!!!” Mia continued with her hysteria, ”YES! YES! YES!!!!!”

Ellie was starting to get nervous.

”I can feel pain!! It hurts!! It hurts so much!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I can finally feel pain again!!!”

”Good for you...” Ellie commented while rushing towards her and forming a diamond fist to punch her.

Mia saw the girl coming and raised her middle and index finger which caused another diamond claw to appear from the ground and collide with Ellie. The girl reacted by using the hand as a stepping stone and jumped on it to create some distance between them.

”Down, girl!!” Mia ordered while standing up again, ”let me enjoy my moment a little bit! I haven't felt pain in this body in ages!!”

Ellie glared at her, ”this is NOT your body...”

”Oh... That's right...” Mia replied. She then used her power of re-creation to change her appearance to look just like Evlin.

”Ah!” Ellie gasped at the sight of her aunt.

”Come on, my sweetie!! Give aunt Evie a hug!!” Mia suggested while opening her arms and making several whips made of vines come out from her fingers.

The vines moved to try and grab Ellie but the girl quickly returned to her senses and slashed every single one of them after turning her left arm into a silver blade.

”Mocking me is one thing...” Ellie whispered, ”but mocking my family, especially my aunt...”
