I knew an Antidote Spell, which Naturia was currently about to use, but I used this opportunity to do something else with this new Status effect inflicting my body, all while changing my Class and readjusting my Stats.

This was the most I could do. I had reduced Charm to -10 because it was the most useless Stat in battle against someone that just wanted to kill me. I had discovered I could put stats into the minus but overdoing it would put an immense strain in my body, so only -10 was the most I could do for Charm, and Resistance was still at 1 at least, as I needed some resistance to her magic, but not as much thanks to my enhanced agility.

And of course, the most important thing, I increased my Strength all the way to 44, while also changing my Class to [Warrior] to receive bonuses to physical damage and weapon usage!

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. I had discovered it was possible to modify the effects of status effects inflicted on me. Although it was impossible to delete the venom inside of my body, I was able to temporarily give it a different effect than before for a small amount of time.

-----

[Strengthening Venom (Mid)]

A burning venom that makes the user's nerves agonize in pain. However, it also enhances their muscle strength and allows them to surpass their physical limits in exchange for an ever-growing exhaustion over the entire body.

-----

With this, I felt my entire body boiling! I saw as my veins were clearly visible across my entire body, emerging as if they were red tattoos by how bright they were getting. The venom only continued spreading across my body, but instead of paralyzing me, it only made me stronger in exchange for an agonizing pain.

But after that time when I was torn to pieces by Hell, my pain receptors had been rather atrophied. I don't feel as much pain as I did before, and this… was more than bearable.

My enhancement in speed and strength was quickly noticed by the woman as I moved forward. I clashed against her with all my might, the power of my blade became tens of times stronger than before, as an explosive shockwave was unleashed from the vertical swing of my weapon.

CLAAASH!

TRUUUM!

"W-What sort of strength is this?!"

She immediately pulled back as I continued chasing her down, swinging my blade while doing spinning attacks, this was a very basic combination of [Blade Dance] and [Parry] I had learned by myself… but this was clearly not even my maximum potential in battle.

The woman looked back as she saw the souls condensing constantly, the entity that they were summoning was soon to emerge as well. If I didn't stop her, I would only end up giving my father even more troubles!

"It's almost done…! I won't let you get closer, you insane girl!" She roared back at me, as her true demonic aura of darkness exploded out of her body, unleashing a shockwave that attempted to throw me away.

However, thanks to my enhanced strength, I was able to resist it as I stood over the floor, planting my blade into the paved floor.

FLUOOOSH!

"Tch! You're so persistent!"

She clashed against me once more, more furious than ever. Her spear moved swifter than before, several times faster, as this demonic aura enhanced all her capabilities. She was an incredible demon capable of controlling a power I had never seen before.

CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!

Her spear moved like needles constantly trying to pierce through my body and skewer me alive, but I evaded the majority of the attacks by dancing elegantly through the battle, all while parrying her blows with lots of strength, constantly pushing her back.

"Ungh…! Y-You…! Why do you care so much about them?! They did so many atrocities…! Why are you protecting this trash?!" She asked furiously. "You are not even from here! Go away! An outsider like you… has no right to interfere!"

CLAAASH!

An even stronger attack hit me, as I saw countless phantasmal mirages of her spear flowing like an ocean of pure obscurity, suddenly, an abyss of darkness engulfed me whole, as I found myself suddenly trapped inside some sort of Domain.

Spears began falling from all directions against me, as I parried them all with my flames, but it was clearly not enough. The intensity and speed of the attacks was increasing by an exponential level each passing second!

"Mother… give me strength!" I cried, as I recalled my mother's teachings. The light that she had taught me, I gathered it within my blade. The purple-colored stone on it suddenly transformed, turning completely white.

FLASH!

A flash of bright light illuminated the entirety of this darkness, freeing me from this strange magic, as I jumped outside, and found my body moving at an even faster speed than before. This was the power of the light attribute magic I had learned; this technique was the one I had once used against Aquarina in our spar, which I've polished until now…!

"Flashing Blade Art: One Hundred Mirage Blades!"

I concentrated my mind into my sword, as I channeled all the mana I could muster. A flash of bright light emerged from it.

My body moved by itself, as I was possessed by the light itself, I targeted the woman below me while I was in midair, falling towards her.

My hand moved faster than anything else, as fast as light.

A mirage of swords made of light emerged before her.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
