chapter 29: Mastering the Twilight staff part 3
Returning to my feet, I send a barrage of fireballs colliding with the other fireballs, canceling each other out. Magic is extremely difficult to use in the Soul Realm; only basic magic can be employed. The only exception I can think of would be unique magic that can bypass this restriction. Suddenly, a tsunami of fire heads towards me. I summon a regular tsunami, and the two attacks collide, creating a massive eruption of steam. I then use magic to control the steam and launch it at spirit. They simply snap their fingers, canceling it out. I then summon icicles and shoot them out, but they summon their own iron spikes, canceling out my icicles. As the two sides continue to collide, a variety of sparks and the echoes of clanging metal reverberate throughout the entirety of the Soul Realm. I created an ice sword, and went in for close range. I swung my ice sword down, but the spirit simply countered with their own steel sword. The two swords collided, causing a sonic shockwave from the sheer force. A barrage of sword attacks ensued as we continued clashing blade. Unknown to crystal Many powerful entities have begun to observe, as well as some bored eldritch horrors. A temporary power boost by Will power should have run out by now; however, Crystal was not an ordinary entity but an anomaly. The further she was pushed back into a corner, the stronger her will became, granting her an inexhaustible amount of will power, even if it was highly inefficient to use magic like this. She was able to continue doing so because she kept generating more willpower by her increasingly strengthening will. One of these eldritch horrors threw a curse at her, but it shattered. It only made them more interested, though, after all, the curse was not strong, but it was far too strong for something like Crystal to break it. However, through sheer force of will, she distorted reality and destroyed the curse that was aimed at her. That's right, her will was not just generating an inexhaustible amount of willpower. It began distorting reality itself. Suddenly, small amounts of rainbow fire began appearing on her hand as she continued to collide with her opponents, neither of them being able to land a blow.
More and more rainbow fire began appearing until it felt like chains breaking, and she smiled at the spirit, saying, "It's time to end this. I've won." The spirit said, "Oh, what makes you think that?" "Unique Magic Rainbow Flame Transformation." My eyes turned rainbow-colored, my hair turned rainbow-colored, my wings changed to rainbow color, and the clothes I was wearing changed to a dress made of solidified rainbow flames. Fortunately, these clothes are nothing more than a projection, so I don't have to worry about them getting burnt like real clothes. I smiled, "So this is why I was unable to fully elementalize. I have to transform both the body and the soul, not just the body." I then pointed my hand and watched rainbow flames shoot out. The spirit smiled, simply avoiding the attack before laughing and saying, "Excellent, you're finally there. That attack can affect the soul. Soul magic is extremely difficult, and all of the attacks up until now have been regular magic. With a tiny bit of soul magic mix in, they can harm the soul, but not to any serious extent—the soul recovers from the minor scratches you could inflict with this magic. The attack you just used now, though, can completely burn the soul." The spirit says, "Your mother was holding back by suppressing her magic, so it wasn't able to affect the soul, weakening its power. Yet it was so strong. Seems like I'm not even close to my mother's level, and I'm willing to bet the demon lord are probably on the same level as well as those 12 demon knights, real monsters." I return to the real world; the Twilight staff was no longer in my hand and had fused with my soul, and I could summon it as I pleased. Even if one used space magic to lock space, it was not able to stop me from summoning the Twilight staff fused with my soul, and I immediately passed out from exhaustion.
