Chapter 193: Sparring Sessions 3 (1/2)
-----
Pekora showcased amazing strength, but Benlah was pretty resilient herself as well.
What I wondered was how much Mana did Spirits cost to maintain…
”According to what she had said, Spirits absorb mana from the environment, so they only cost a bit of mana per minute to maintain. This way, Pekora who is at a decent Stage can use a bunch in fights,” said Tisha.
”You've fought her before?” I asked.
”Yeah, I've won only 4 times from the 10 times we fought. We know each other before being caught and enslaved and all of that, you know? Our tribes used to do competitions and tournaments because we lived next to each other. We also traded and all… Although we had now decided to live at your side, Master. We would like to one day go back to them and meet them again,” sighed Tisha.
”Sure thing, I am not even forcing you to stay with me, you can go whenever you grow strong enough,” I said.
”You're way too humble, but you've saved the life of me and my people, I am too grateful to leave your side, my lord,” said Tisha.
”Tisha…”
”W-Well, that's nice!” said Benladann, crossing her arms and getting in between me and the Ice Elf.
Did she get jealous?
Geez, I told her I only had eyes for her. Does she have to get like this now?
Well, I can't help but find her cute when she gets jealous though.
The fight continued as Pekora blocked the powerful fist attack from Benlah by summoning a very fluffy Dandelion Flower Summon.
She has a Sunflower and a Dandelion. The Sunflower can gather mana in the environment and fire a blast of burning light, meanwhile, the Dandelion can expand its fluffy exterior and block a strong physical attack in exchange for its life.
Pekora got both offense and defense covered up by just spirits, and she can both Heal and Enhance her body speed and agility using Life Attribute Spells… She's strong, I have to admit it.
It is also interesting how she can emulate the Fire and Light Attribute through the Sunflower Spirit; it seems that Spirits can let someone use more Magic elements than the ones they were born with.
The battle continued, as Pekora leaped to her back and then upwards, readying another blast of her Sunflower.
Benlah generated a large icicle spear and fired it at Pekora, it was incredibly fast, and Pekora had to evade while being in midair, using her Life Attribute Magic to generate a vine that hit her from behind, moving her in midair.
”You're a bit impatient!” said Pekora, firing her blast of light from the Sunflower.
Benlah jumped away as the blast began to follow her like a laser this time around!
BRUUUUUUMMMM!
Benlah gritted her teeth as she realized that Pekora might be a big above her league here…
But she didn't give up.
She gritted her teeth as she glanced at the rabbit-kin using the force of the vines to pretty much kick the air, as she gathered the last of her mana and fired an arrow towards her!
