278 Choose your weapon (1/2)

”Claire...” Ellie whispered as she stood in the middle of an open grassy field by herself while her curly-haired friend aimed at her with her magical staff, ”Are you ready?”

”As ready as I'll ever be!!” the girl stated.

”Detra, you sure about this?” Evlin asked while she and the rest of her group watched from a safe distance the events that were about to unfold.

”Don't worry...” the former goddess secured, ”The young miss has learned how to absorb energy a long time ago, she will be fine!”

”You better be sure...” Evlin threatened.

”Ok! Here I go!!!” Claire declared.

The girl took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began to speak.

”The time has come to unleash my power...

Upon this land, my forces will shower...”

”Is that...” Evlin whispered.

”A chanting...” Detra replied, ”The strongest method to pull out every single drop of power into the spells of a magician... Great for finishing your enemies in one blow...”

”Let my flames burn the world to grey...

Let my lightning send the darkness away...

Let my ice freeze every living soul...”

”Uuhhh...” Evlin muttered, ”I'm not sure how I feel about this choice of words...”

”Quiet!” Detra whispered.

Claire continued, ”Show the world a strength that is beyond anyone's control!!!”

Once the chanting was done, an immense ball of energy appeared in front of Claire's staff and continued to grow further and further. It was a sphere of magic energy that surrounded itself with lightning magic, fire magic, and ice magic.

Claire aimed the ball at Ellie and launched it like a cannon, creating an enormous storm of energy, very similar to the magic howl Mia used during the war.

Ellie saw the blast coming and began to cast her own chanting as well.

”Everything is mine to devour...

In this one world, none can match my power...

Release upon me your very best shot...

And cower in fear when I take away everything you got!!”

Ellie then extended her hands and a pair of mouths made of energy appeared on her palms and began to fuse into one giant mouth bigger than her entire body, her ability that she mirrored from Mia, spell breaker.

The energy mouth began to transform until it turned into the head of a lion made of energy that took Claire's gigantic spell head-on and completely devoured it.

”Young miss!! Now!!” Detra yelled.

Ellie then converted the power she just devoured into energy for herself and activated her terminal fire, which made her eyes began to glow with three different colors of red, green, and silver.

The lights of Ellie's powers were so strong that forced Evlin's group to turn away for a moment, and once everything was over, Ellie and Claire were collapsed on the ground with an enormous pile of metal scattered all over the grass.

”They did it!!” Detra claimed while clenching her fist.

”What? What happened?” Lilith asked, feeling like she just missed something amazing happening.

Evlin came closer and picked up one of the pieces Ellie created, a small metal gauntlet, bathed in terminal fire.

”Ellie just created terminal weapons...” Evlin stated, ”Lots of them...”

Everyone present was at a loss for words.

”How is this possible...??” Daren wondered.

”The same way Marceus could make blessed weapons from his own body, the young miss can create terminal weapons from her body!” Detra explained, ”She probably could create around five or six pieces... But thanks to little explosion girl over here, she had more than enough juice to make one for everyone!”

The team started to head over the weapons and pieces of armor while searching for items that matched their combat style the better.

”So... All of us can have access to terminal power now?” Daren wondered while grabbing a pair of metal claws.

”In theory, yes...” Detra claimed as she picked up a metal ring, ”But young miss' terminal power is still not completely under control, she's still just a kid after all... But this should work to allow our attacks to damage a dragon's skin now...”

Leona picked up a metal staff and began to feel her power rising, ”This is incredible... This is just how I felt when I faced the dragon in that cave...”

Auren however noticed that something was still missing for some of the mages in this group, ”Wait! What about your staffs? Doesn't matter that your attacks can harm the dragons if you can't unleash any attacks!”

”Don't worry... There are a ton of channeling trees on this island... The north gods from ancient times were huge fans of magic...” Leona commented.

”Oh... I see...”

Leona at that moment looked at Evlin while she continued to pick up pieces of armor that resembled things she was familiar with such as bracelets and greaves, and decided to make her a question.
