VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

-Oooooooooooong!

A restriction spell of fire attribute made by the blazing fire that she had created using her fire enchanted sword.

It was made with the existing flames with the help of the special spells that Alex created.

There was something unique about her spells… They even worked on creatures the size of a dump pile.

"Gumooooooooo!"

With its hundreds of tentacle-like arms, the creature was after a little human that was trying to do something funny in his territory.

"Gumoooooooo!"

Elio was on a higher ground, there was no one here beside them, not creatures, not Az and group, and not even bugs.

They were here alone, so… Alex was taking this precious moment to relive her frustration.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

She moved like a butterfly and plunged her flaming sword into the Ent's trunk like a bee.

She was faster now, much faster than she was when they first entered this dungeon.

The leveling up was much more important to her since with each level that she recovered, she would recover more than just the powers that normal players acquire.

She would get stronger at certain level junctions, and though it might not get reflected in her stats, she could use the techniques that previously could not.

Especially after crossing (Level-50), she had regained a certain power.

-Swish!

The power of those who walked on the path of weapons, those who followed their heart and aimed to unite with the weapons that they held.

A power that was not limited just to the knights, the symbol of chivalry. A power not limited to those who had earned the right to follow the path of honor, or adventure, or willingly face turbulent trials.

[{ "It's gorgeous however many times I see it, Alex." }]

[{ "Hey! Stop with that flattering and focus! I will die if I get hit by those whips!" }]

Aura.

The power born from one's deepest consciousness, the second most prominent natural energy of this world.

"Gumoooooooooo…!"

It wasn't a simple power like Mana that one could use just because they had unlocked their Mana circuit.

Unlike any other kind of special energy in this world, Aura was the symbol of acknowledgement.

Being a knight did not mean one got to use Aura. Things did not work like that.

Practice, devotion, understanding of the weapon, Talent, dedication and faith to one's goals. Ambitions. That was the main factor that resulted in acknowledgement.

-Swish! Swish! Swish!

She had worked very hard to achieve this power in the past. She did not awaken her Aura until she had passed (Level-100), which was weird since her mastery over her weapon was much higher than even the knights of the empire.

She had defeated many of them in an official fight without using Aura, sometimes even being mistaken as someone who did not respect the knight's honors.

[{ "So…" }]

[{ "No talking! Elio! Focus!" }]

Holding the flaming sword in her hand, attacking the already debuffed target, she was doing her best to avoid the branches that were coming at her from all around the place.

They were after her, following her each movement– even the ones that were followed by her {Blink}.

[{ "I'm going to die!" }]

[{ "I won't let you though. Why worry so much-." }]

[{ "Just shut the hell up then!" }]

She wanted him to shut up and keep the buffs coming. That was all she needed from him right now.

There was a blazing white flame with a hint of red and blue on her sword.

It was a pale flame, which one would recognize as the power of {Aura}.

But unlike the {Aura} that Elio had seen until now, during the battle with the Dark mage, and the Aura in the knight's associations, this Aura was different.

There was a certain emptiness to it. Something that made it seem like it was just a shell of the [World] that this Aura was originating from.

-Oooooooooooong!

By nature, Aura was a destructive power and it most certainly helped her at the moment with the main thing they were doing at the moment.

Killing this creature was the goal, and, if it wasn't for this empty Aura of hers, she wouldn't have been able to deal even the little damage that she was dealing at the moment.

Her attacks were effective only because she was dealing them with a combination of her Aura and Sword's enchanted fire.

There were obviously the effects of her equipment as well, and Elio was there, of course.

He was fucking around with the spells and her distracting her to make fun of her, to torture her for making him do this, but… she knew he wasn't going to let her die by the tentacles of this Ent.

[{ "I'm going for double casting." }]

[{ "Hmmm? What?" }]

[{ "Casting spells with both hands. Get ready." }]

Mixing a Restriction spell and adding in a new Physical spell that he had not tried yet.

It might not be effective, but it would render the Ent powerless in case it works as he wanted it to be.

[{ "Are you fucking crazy?! You just started learning Spell fusion! What do you think you are to try and fuse two already fused spells?! Some kind of main character with plot armor?!" }]

She barely avoided that one attack, used {Blink} once again, and got out of the Ent's perception range by climbing a shorter tree.

[{ "Ughhh! Just do what we planned! We can try experiments later!" }]

They needed to finish up with this one so that they could move on to the next target… but that would not be possible if they died just because he wanted to punish her and HAVE FUN!

[{ "Too late, Miss." }]

He used a bottle of Mana recovery spell, went inside his Mind House, picked out the spell book from his shelf, and opened the page with the broken Restriction spells.

-Oooooooooooong!

Then he turned the pages and brought out the Physical series spell.

-Ooooooooooong…!

Calling out two powerful spells was a difficult task, but he did it, even though his head almost exploded while doing so.

"Ugh!"

He had experienced many worse painful experiences in his time here anyway, so he just ignored both of them, and opened his eyes to look at the two spells in his hands.

This, the casting of two separate spells at once even with the help of a unique casting technique, would be called multi casting- or Double casting in this case.

[{ "Here I go then." }]

[{ "Dumbass…" }]

There was an Ent jerking its limbs around searching for the target that had just hand in its graph and there he was, trying something stupid again that was obviously not going to work!

-Booooooooooooom!

But, well, just letting him experience this was much better than cursing at him.
