Shaman could do nothing but helplessly reach out as she watched Elysia's death slowly approaching. The colour of her hair began to change to all the colours of her elements.
Orange, blue, white and green could all be seen mixing in her hair as she screamed out I need to be faster, I need to be stronger. But before she could do anything her view was taken up by Elysia getting slashed in the back by the demon blade, blood spewed out as Elysia fell to the floor.
Tears filled Shaman's eyes as her mind crashed and everything went blank.

A system message appeared but Shaman was in too much pain and anguish to read it but it did not matter as they disappeared quickly.
Shaman's hair had fully changed and began to stare down the skeleton which to Shaman just killed Elysia. Tears still fell down her cheek as she held a very subtle pained expression. Shaman suddenly dashed and screamed at the skeleton warrior while holding Kotetsu in a tight grip to the point where her hands started to bleed.

Elysia did not feel any pain but was welcomed by a warm feeling just like Himeko's flames. She had squinted to brace for the attack as she could not move out of the way quick enough but soon realized that the attack never came.
She quickly opened her eyes and realized she was in Himeko's embrace. Elysia quickly backed off and was confused by why Himeko was here. She looked around and noticed they were still in the same room but all of a sudden felt a sudden surge of mana behind her. When she turned around her face paled as she saw Shaman going into her berserk mode.
Himeko was intently watching but was interrupted by Elysia asking a question.
"What the hell is going on and we need to stop her." Elysia was confused why Shaman had gone into her berserk mode but she knew it was bad news and needed to calm her down.
"Well I saved you and the impact with the sword and my fire caused the fire to burst out emanating a blood like effect as it was more like lava than fire that protected you, but due to Shaman not thinking straight she seemingly thought you were just killed." Himeko explained what happened to Elysia and understood the situation but one question aroused in her mind.
"Wait, since when could you use magma?" This was an important detail Elysia did not miss as it was known that the Ado family can only use fire.
"That's a story for another time but just know with or without it you would of been fine but it has seemingly back fired since Shaman was too dumb to realized it was not your blood." Despite slightly insulting Shaman, she could understand why, as it was the heat of the moment and things can happen all too fast.
"Well we have to go stop her!" Elysia was nervous as she could see on her bracelet that Shaman's mind was breaking.
"It's okay let her kill the Skeleton knight then we will get out of here, it seems like I pushed you guys a little too far by putting you in the middle of the dungeon." Himeko let out a smile while cursing herself on the inside.
'Fuck, they are just kids Himeko, there is no need to rush things.' Himeko regretted doing what she did but felt like this was the only way to train them at a faster rate.
Elysia could not do anything as she knew Himeko would not let her go so all she could was hope that Shaman would be okay.

Shaman clashed with the skeleton causing it to use all four swords to block the attack. They slid along the floor till they hit one of the pillars causing a bunch of bricks to fall on the skeleton. Shaman jumped away and activated her sword. This time instead of one element all 4 could be seen present accompanied by a system message.
[Sword compatibility 100%]
This allowed the sword to have all elements activated at once, each element was not attached to the sword but was instead floating around the sword and took the form of something that represented the element. A snowflake for ice, a tornado for wind, a ball of water and a small flame. Each one slowly spun around the hilt of the blade while the gem shared the different colours of the elements.
The skeleton had finally gotten up and did not waste time and instantly charged at Shaman. This time Shaman was able to see where it was going and just like it had done to Elysia it had appeared to her. Shaman lifted Kotetsu above her head blocking the strike, it had also caused the ground to cave in a little due to the sheer amount of force.
Wolfy who was still around saw what happened and was panicking on what to do as he knew Himeko saved Elysia.
'I need to talk to her and calm her down, I need to find where Elysia is and try to lead Shaman to where she is.' Wolfy with a goal in mind began to search the hall for Elysia in hopes that Himeko did not take her too far away.
The elements around the blade began to spread out till eventually they became spears of their respective elements and shot towards the Skeleton knight. Due to the speed of the spears he was unable to dodge and the four spears pierced him.
This time the bone was not an obstacle and 4 apparent holes could be seen through its chest. The skeleton backed away as the mist began to heal it again. Shaman however did not let the Skeleton rest and instantly dashed towards the skeleton. Shaman slashed down and four other slashes were also followed by it.
The Skeleton knight was able to block four of the blades but due to not being able to block the fifth one, one of its arms had been cut off.
Due to not having a voice box it was not able to scream but it could be seen that it was in some form of pain from that attack. However the purple mist was able to catch the arm and place it back on its shoulder.
"Tch." Shaman clicked her tongue and prepared another attack, this time she used a much bigger concentrated slash releasing a combined elemental attack. This slash intertwined with all of Shaman's elements creating a chaotic mess out of the bricks around. Shaman slashed down, sending the attack.
Unexpectedly the massive attack flew at a greater speed than the skeleton could see causing him to be hit by it before he could dodge.
The skeleton flew all the way down the hall till it hit the wall causing it to cave in a little. Dust clouds also flew up causing a smoke screen around the area.
Shaman walked through the dust and stood in front of the skeleton who was laying limp and in half against the caved in wall. Tears were still falling as she looked at the skeleton in pain and anger.
Thoughts spiraled in her head as the scene of Elysia dying played on repeat.
Shaman bit her lip causing it to bleed and raised Kotetsu in the air.
"DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!." Shaman screamed as she slashed down towards the skeleton throwing different elemental slashes. Shaman did not stop and continuously did this till her mana had ran dry.
Shaman had finally run out of mana and fell to her knees, tears fell harder than before as she began to sob.
"Why, Why did it have to be Elysia." Shaman screamed out her lungs and let out all the pain she was feeling.
The body of the skeleton was no longer as it had all been turned to dust.
Notifications rang out but Shaman did not care for them and continued to cry.
Shaman's hair also started to turn back to a pure white colour with blacks tips on her tail and ears. Once it had fully turned back Shaman fell to the floor passing out.
**
Elysia and Himeko were currently running to where Shaman was as they had traveled to the other end of the hall.
Himeko wanted to use her fire to travel faster but they were still looking for a Wolf that could still be around. However they did not have to search for much longer as Wolfy came from the floor running alongside them.
'Shaman needs to see Elysia, I did not expect for them to travel so far and also did not expect this hall to be so massive.' Wolfy told Himeko what they needed to do and also complained how needlessly long it is.
"Well now that you are here we can travel a lot faster, just stay close." Himeko had Elysia on her back and Wolfy did as she said and stayed close.
Fire picked them up by the feet and they had started at a much faster pace.
They soon reached the back of the wall in a few seconds and spotted where Shaman was.
Elysia saw Shaman laying on the floor and instantly jumped off Himeko's back and sprinted towards her. She quickly picked her up in her arms and hugged her tightly.
"Oh you stupid dummy please be alright." Elysia embraced Shaman as she teared up
Himeko let out a deep breath as it seemed like everything was okay.
"Let's head back." Himeko grabbed Elysia's shoulder and Elysia nodded, Wolfy had also walked next to Himeko.
With the nod Himeko used her fire once again and transported them out towards the dungeon entrance.
