Aquarina began to realize the various shortcomings of her own fighting style, and how much refinement it required. She learned there was a long way to go before she could truly call herself a “master”, and she did this while crushing and utterly destroying any monster on her way.

Even though she was winning, there was a lot of time while doing this to learn of her shortcomings. How her fighting style had focused too much on daggers at the beginning of her life due to her father’s teachings.

Although she still considers daggers very strong weapons and her favorite ones, she was unable to put her full power into her fighting style with just daggers alone.

Abyssal Embodiment opened the path towards something stronger, more transcendental, to use her entire body as a weapon.

Her hands could become daggers, her legs could be hammers, axes, or swords, her head could be a hammer, crushing her foes with mighty headbutts, and her dragon tail, a spear or a whip.

She had to begin learning these weapon techniques and incorporate them into her fighting style, and then, she could finally begin to walk an unparalleled path.

And for that, she decided to start right away.

Her combined her daggers with her Abyssal Embodiment and her Draconification, turning them into long, sharp blade-like claws in her two giant, scaled hands.

And then, after fully transforming again, she charged forward, swinging her long black scaled tail and using it as a whip.

“If I remember correctly, it was like this, right?”

She remembered the whip techniques she sometimes saw from other adventurers in Agartha, through their daily spars or when she accompanied large parties into dungeons with Sylphy.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Her tail moved like a whip, free, as if boneless, it slammed the monsters one after another, sweeping through them and then even coiling around them, smacking them into the ground by the dozens.

“But it’s pointy too, so like this as well!”

She swung her tail forward, using it as a spear, she pierced and impaled the monsters approaching her, throwing them away after they were covered with holes.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

“Not bad…!”

As Aquarina smiled and felt like she was getting somewhere, she faced the Tier 7 foes, attempting to hit one with her fists.

CRAAASH!

However, she was stopped, as a multi-layered multi-elemental magic barrier repelled her attacks, throwing her away.

TRUUM!

“Ugh…! What the hell?!”

She was surprised a monster at Tier 7 had pushed her away with a mere protection spell. But her eyes widened upon the realization it wasn’t just one.

She noticed two more of these six-clawed, rainbow-colored lobsters with the one she had aimed for, they had used illusion veils to hide at plain sight.

And like this, three of them had combined their magic power, creating stronger magic…

“So that’s how it is, you guys are finally working together…”

But Aquarina smiled.

“That’s awesome! I need to train after all! Undine, Levithan, go support my friends. Things are going to get rough around me.”

“Understood. Let’s go Leviathan.”

“Rooaaarr!”

As the two Spirits left, Aquarina rushed forward again, combining her Heavenly Step with her kicking strikes.

Heavenly Step was born from her constant ability to release shockwaves from her foot to move across the sky.

However, this movement by itself was already a technique of its own.

And one that could be used offensively as well!

Aquarina took a little while to realize its full potential.

She leaped into midair and then spun downwards, kicking the barrier several times within mere seconds as she did.

Giant multi-elemental meteors descended from the sky as she did so.

CRASH! CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!

The barrier trembled, beginning to gain more and more cracks, the lobsters stepped back, nervous as the meteors hit Aquarina.

“No, that won’t work either.”

She punched them with her scaled fists, releasing powerful shockwaves of her massive Aura, blowing them away one after another.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

“That worked too!”

She used her own Aura while punching, releasing shockwaves that dealt internal damage into the target she struck, maximizing the damage even more.

“And you!”

She quickly infused more energy into her legs, kicking the barrier and shattering it once and for all.

CRAAASH!

As it shattered, she rushed towards the lobsters, who attacked her with rainbow beams of fire, ice, wind, light, and darkness.

The attacks were strong, leaving cracks and little holes through her scales, but she resisted them, using her tail to sweep them down and then with her fists, she punched through their bodies, making the areas she punched explode.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

“That worked faster than I imagined…!”

Aquarina was surprised of the changes her fighting style underwent in just a few minutes of reconsidering how she was fighting and how to apply better fighting techniques.

It felt as if she was finally utilizing more of her full potential, maximizing damage and reducing wasted movements and mana as well!

RUMBLE!

The halls trembled, as she glanced into the pool, something huge was beginning to crawl its way into the surface.

Meanwhile, Justicio constantly chased after Silvia, the two competing for who could defeat the most foes, using their weapon techniques and rapidly evolving how they battled to achieve that.

The Tier 7 lobsters, however, stopped their reckless charge, as they pushed them back with giant barriers of various elements.

TRUUUM!

“Ugh…!”

“Agh!”

They rolled over the ground, quickly being healed by Agua from a distance, Pyuku was by her side, taking care of any monster that tried to threaten her life.

Four Tier 7 lobsters faced the group, their magic unifying together through their natural innate abilities, creating combination magic.

“These guys are tough!” Silvia said.

“I know right?!” Justicio asked. “And they’re four at that! They’re most likely combining their magic.”

“It won’t be easy to get through this…” Silvia smiled.

“I know… but that’s what makes it worthwhile!” Justicio nodded.

“Hah, there they go again…” Pyuku sighed. “Agua, don’t overexert yourself healing these reckless kids…”

“I’m fine! My Mana regenerates faster as long as I’m near large bodies of water,” Agua smiled. “I’ll heal them and help them surpass their limits!”

Agua had begun to cheer for them too.
