Elanor looked at Shaman wondering what it could be, but when Shaman got closer, Elanor started to get nervous.
"Don't worry, It won't hurt." Shaman saw the look of worry and tried to reassure Elanor, but it seemingly made her even more worried and confused.
Shaman knew saying anything more would just confuse Elanor, so Shaman just went ahead and raised her hand. Opening up the system, the prompt to give Elanor the system came up and Shaman pressed yes.
Elanor closed her eyes waiting for whatever was going to happen, but nothing came.
"Huh?" Opening her eyes, she looked around to see if anything changed, but everything was still the same.
"Pfftt." Shaman wanted to explain, but watching Elanor's reaction was too adorable and funny, she left her confused a little bit longer.
"What did you do!?" Elanor pouted and glared at Shaman as she felt like she was getting tricked.
"Okay, Okay, first things first, say status." Shaman felt bad, so she dropped the silent treatment and got Elanor to open the system.
"....Status." Elanor glared at Shaman, still sceptical, but said it anyway.
[Elanor Aulfiem]
[Race: Elf]
[Level: 90]
[Tier: 4]
[Elements]
Wind: Tier 4
Holy Nature: Tier 4
Elanor looked in shock at the holographic screen as it displayed all of her information and things she didn't even know.
"W-what is this?" Feeling like her brain was going to explode, she desperately needed an explanation of what was going on.
"Alright so…" Shaman then proceeded to explain the system to Elanor and all the risks that come with it. The main one being if Elanor ever betrays the group she will lose all the power she has obtained.
"I-I think I understand." Elanor got the general idea of it, but it sounded surreal and felt like she was granted cheat codes for life.
"Good, now we will let you take on the weakest mob here and see how you fare. Also, don't worry too much about the danger as we will be right next to you." Shaman hoped Elanor would not be frozen in fear as the elves were rather weak despite being tier 7.
"Mhm." Elanor felt anxious hearing she was going to fight, but she needed to take a step forward and prove to herself that this is the right path for her.
"Now before we start, I want to try something, I want you to hold this." Shaman pulled out the demon sword while covering her hand in ice, as she didn't want to take ownership of it.
"Wait, are you serious? That's crazy!" Clara freaked out as the sword would take control over Elanor.
"Yes I am, if Silver was able to do it, I believe Elanor can too." Shaman was confident the system would be able to handle it thus allowing Elanor to obtain a strong weapon.
"Hmmm fine." Clara wanted to trust Shaman as it was true Silver was in possession of a demon weapon, and if it worked once it could work again.
[And you would be correct, if Elanor grabbed the sword before she had the system, she would have died.] Rea chimed in to confirm Shaman's thoughts and affirm her confidence in the system. Clara, also hearing what Rea said, now had zero doubts about the process's safety.
"Then did we just waste 350 gold." Elysia, more concerned about the money they just lost on buying fans, hoped Shaman had a plan.
"We can just sell it back, plus who knows if it will transform into fans." Shaman wasn't sure what form the weapon would take, but it would give her an indicator of what god she is blessed by.
"So it's okay to touch?" Elanor looked at the sword, curious why Clara freaked out about it.
"Yep, it's all yours." Shaman held out the sword to Elanor and she reached out to grab it.
As soon as her hand gripped the handle dark energy spewed out of the blade. Elanor fell to her knees while still holding the sword tightly. Everyone freaked out as this was very different from Silver's experience.
However, their worries would be for nothing as the energy suddenly turned white, soon shifting to bright green. The energy then suddenly pulled itself back into the blade engulfing it in a green light.
Its form shifting and changing, a few seconds passed when the light finally peeled away to reveal Elanor's new weapon.
Just as Shaman suspected, a pair of black and green fans appeared, embroidered with a painting of a mystical, supporting Shaman's assumption that Elanor most likely has an innate skill for fans.
"I really hope we can refund those extra fans." Elysia cried internally as the money they spent was pointless.
"Sheesh, it will be fine." Shaman waved it off, confident there was a refund policy.
"Anyway, how do you feel, Elanor?" Shaman saw that Elanor was holding her head and hoped everything was okay.
"Y-yeah, just a really bad headache, heard someone talk in my head, but it suddenly vanished." When she grabbed the sword, Elanor felt the demon within try to take control over her.
"The system must have stopped it then." Glad there were no side effects, Shaman then wondered what happened if someone without a system picked it up.
'Would they get taken over like that elf commander or would something more dangerous appear.' Recalling the words of what seemed to be the demon god, the dungeons seemingly acted like a seal for them, so if one were to get out then it would cause havoc.
"I'm surprised the system can suppress the demons, if we can get the rest of the weapons, we could create something incredibly dangerous." Clara couldn't imagine the destruction they could cause if they let all the weapons go rampant.
"Just be glad it does, but right now we need to get Elanor fighting some elves." Shaman would love to think more about it, but they shouldn't be wasting too much time.
Shaman then helped get Elanor up on her feet, now that her headache was almost gone.
"Thanks."
"Before we begin, try out the fans and get a feel for them." Shaman had no idea how they would work and bet on the fact that Elanor has the talent.
"So just anywhere?" Elanor held the 2 fans in her hand and opened them which revealed the thin blades at their ends.
"Mhm." Shaman nodded and stood back where the others were.
Taking a deep breath, Elanor gripped her foldable blade fans and tried to imagine how to use them. Suddenly information flowed into her head as her body started moving on its own as if there was someone else controlling her.
Slashing upwards with the fans, a gust of wind followed making her cape flail in the air as well as lifting Clara's dress and Elysia's skirt.
"OI!" Both Clara and Elysia yelled out as it felt like it was on purpose.
"Oops~." Elanor turned around, seeing Elysia and Clara pushing down on their clothes while Shaman was sneaking a look. Having no reason to complain about the situation, Shaman gave Elanor a thumbs up.
Concentrating back on practising, Elanor swung down causing the wind to crash into the ground. jumping forward, Elanor spun in the air, fans fully open, and once she landed let out a wind slash from the blades.
Shifting her focus to her elements more, she swung one fan across, sending out a gust of wind. Following up with her other fan she swung upwards, but this time a tree root came out of the ground in the form of a spike. The tree root had white veins and one could only guess that was because the nature element she had was holy.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised as Elanor showed a range of capabilities, not only at long range but for shorter ranges as well.
However, Elanor did not stop and swung both her fans at the same time. One produced a wind slash while the other shot a wooden spike. Realising that each fan controls a different element, Elanor wondered what else she could do.
Swiping up again with her nature fan, vine roots emerged from the ground to try to grab something, but there was nothing to grab.
"So depending on what I want, I can use different plants." Elanor, figuring out what her fighting style would be like, continued to practise moving around and using the tree roots as dummies.
Without even realising it, Elanor had partly mastered the fans and would now be able to actually use them in combat.
*Ding*
A system notification went off scaring Elanor, which made her jump back in fright before realising what it was.
[Call of Lin]
"Call of Lin?" Elanor wasn't sure what it was, but Shaman hearing it knew it was similar to Elysia's [Call of Artemis].
'No idea what god this is from, but I'm glad for its help nonetheless.' Shaman tried to think of any god from her world, but couldn't think of one and could only come up with a video game character with a similar weapon.
"Great Job Elanor, you ready to go kill something?" Shaman shook her head as they needed to move on.
"Mhm!" Elanor closed the system window not worrying about what the call was and nodded her head furiously in excitement.
