CLASH!
Benladann's axe clashed against two of the Elders, who wielded powerful artifacts… Oi, wait for a second, those are the ones I sold? The shields made out of my scales… and the blades of my ice too.
Oof, I guess selling my stuff ended biting me in the tail.
The Elders shielded the woman, as I noticed something weird.
They were oddly calm and composed.
And the look on their eyes… it was a bit… empty?
I noticed through my senses that their souls were strange, distorted, and wrapped in some kind of phantasmal presence.
Did she use some kind of power to make them her slaves?
Maybe that contract had more going on than we thought, we could have ended enslaved by her, are you kidding me?!
"All that hypocrite talk about enslavement yet you enslaved these guys to act as your guards!" I said, as I rushed forward and took out Skadi, releasing two piercing attacks, enough to throw the two Elders into the walls.
CLAASH! CLAAASH!
"FUFUFU! Time for slaughter~?" she asked.
"Eh? Y-You… only one attack?!"
The woman looked at us in disbelief as she heard my weapon talk too.
"An that weapon… an intelligent weapon! To think that you have one… You… What…?!"
She was a bit taken aback, and that is without me doing much.
Pekora, Tisha, and Yuki were still a bit shocked, but they got quickly into action.
"I guess we have to kill, right?" asked Yuki.
"Indeed, slaughter some Ice Giant scum in the night is always refreshing. Hahh, I am going to enjoy a warm bath after this," said Tisha, taking out her axe from her dimensional pouch.
"Hm, I was suspecting something from her too, good thing our lords are more attentive than they might seem." Said Pekora.
Oi! Are you implying we don't seem as intelligent as we are?
The three girls suddenly released their Rank 3 Auras.
"Ah!"
Cassiopeia quickly got dumbfounded once more.
"R-Rank 3? All three of them?! Weren't they Rank 2?" she asked.
"Well, surprise." Said Pekora, as she summoned her Sunflower Spirit which arrived in her head, and quickly fired a ray of burning light towards the Elder that approached her, burning his face into a crisp.
"GRRYYYAAGGHH…!"
BOOM!
He was dead.
"EH? That was awfully easy." Said Pekora.
"A-A Spirit Wielder too…!" muttered Cassiopeia.
"Would you stop getting surprised each time, come and fight me!"
Benladann coated her axe in chaotic energy and slashed with it several times, Cassiopeia gritted her teeth as she generated several barriers of phantom, ice, and dark magic combined together. All of them were destroyed but she managed to evade the attack by using them as a way to slow down the slashing attacks of Benladann!
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH CLAAASH!
Her house was becoming a total disaster though.
"You sneaky bitch, I am going to slice your head off!" roared Benladann, her eyes were red-shot. That was definitely Miranda talking.
"Tch! I won't lose to an amateur!" roared Cassiopeia, as she conjured several elements combined, summoning an army of phantasmal ice shadow skeleton-like soldiers!
Meanwhile, a Rank 3 Elder rushed towards me, one of the ones I pierced in the chest. He was completely fine and actually, he seemed a bit zombie-like.
Does she even have necromancy?
Interesting, Phantom Magic is like lesser Death magic, I didn't know it could go as far as imitating death magic so well…
Suddenly, the soldiers that Cassiopeia summoned jumped over the zombie and merged with him, suddenly making him mutate into a buffed-up zombie.
"GRAAAAH!"
"Damn, that's some interesting powers you got there…"
BOOM!
The zombie's fist was pretty strong, but I took it with the palm of my hands, as I raised my spear tail.
"GRRAAAAGG!"
He tried to grab my tail, but it pierced through his arm and reached his face in an instant, I used my tail to pierce his face and body constantly, as several piercing attack wounds emerged across it all.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
"UUGGGRUUOOHH…!"
The Zombie resisted them a bit, but I used my ice magic to freeze him, and then, I gave him a few slaps and…
CRASH!
He fell into pieces.
Phew, I didn't even break a sweat there.
FLASH!
BOOOOMMM!
I ducked as a giant zombie fist almost hit my head.
I looked upwards and the second guy Skadi killed was back as a super hulk zombie.
Damn, her spells are powerful for a Rank 3. I guess if she has another Mana Core at Rank 3, she can indeed be an interesting threat. But I wonder where the heck she got it.
The zombie had a blade and a spear I had once sold to her, alongside a full set of armor now out of absolutely nowhere. She had some kind of spell that let her teleport items across phantoms. Shrouding a being with phantoms made them get suddenly equipped with that item.
Such a wondrous power.
"Skadi, do your thing," I said.
"Alright!"
Skadi flashed with high speed towards the zombie hulk, as she clashed against his spear and blade.
CLAAAAASSSSH!
"Heh, those are mere imitations of my true strength! I am the superior weapon!" She boasted, as she enhanced her spear with mana and crushed both of my creations with sheer might. After having absorbed the Rank 3 Mana Cores of the monsters inside the dungeon. She had grown surprisingly strong! She was probably comparable to Rank 3 as of now.
"UUGRRAA!"
The Hulk Zombie roared as it caught her with his hands. But she began to spin like a drill and crushed both gigantic hands, shredding them into pieces and rushing into the zombie's head, rushing all the way down through its spine.
She rushed around it like a drill and completely tore it apart in an instant.
CRAAAASSSH!
And to boot, it began to freeze into tiny pieces.
Two down!
I looked back at Benladann, as she was fighting against the phantasmal army of Cassiopeia while she fired purple-colored phantom ice at her. But Benladann was a monster, she rushed without any problems through the army.
