"There's nothing wrong with accepting this power." The woman smiled, trying to get into her head.
"Mhmhmh!" Agata tried to break free from the restraints, but no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't free herself.
She started to panic, wondering what she should do. She couldn't use her own power and her consciousness began to become cozy.
Agata kept raising her eyebrows, but her eyelids felt so heavy that she just wanted to sleep and enjoy all this.
"That's right. Just fall into your desire, it's going to be alright and you will feel happy after this."
Right after those words, the vines, chains, and tentacles that held her body turned into spikes.
The spikes didn't grow toward Agata's body. Instead, they were piercing the woman's body.
"!!!" The woman widened her eyes in surprise as she smiled. "Impressive."
"Ha… ha…" Agata panted a few times as she dropped to her knees. She still had some resistance, but she felt weak.
Glaring at the woman that soon reappeared a few feet behind the one she killed, Agata stated, "I won't accept your power, but I will study it and make it my own. As I said this whole time, I won't be like you. I will craft my own path.
"You used this illusion to trick me into thinking I couldn't use my spikes even though you were using my own smoke to trap me.
"I will use this and modify it to my own needs. Thanks to you, I know that I can modify them easily to match my surroundings." She placed her hand on the ground.
Suddenly, the floor raised from both sides as if it was going to squeeze her to death. But before she reacted, the floor turned into multiple tentacles and grasped the woman's body, restraining her.
It was at that time the tentacles turned into spikes and pierced her entire body. This way, she could assure her own smoke to reach her opponent's body before turning them into a weapon.
However, this wasn't the only thing she learned from her. Agata created two pillars from the ground and struck the ceiling, cracking it.
The ceiling soon crumbled, revealing a white wall behind it. The entire room then shattered into pieces, revealing they turned out to be trapped inside an illusion room this whole time.
It was at this time, the real body emerged from thin air. She was standing just slightly behind where Agata first arrived.
Yes. She had been standing behind her the whole time, but Agata never realized it as she had fallen into her illusion.
"There's nothing wrong with embracing your sexual desire." She stated once again.
"There's nothing wrong with it, but that won't be me." Agata shook her head with a serious expression.
"You won't get your man at this point."
"It's not guaranteed, but the probability is there. Even if I fail, I won't regret it."
"You shouldn't do this passively. He will be snatched from you before you know it."
"I'm not doing this passively. I am simply biding my time to take his heart. Unlike you, I won't form my relationship out of sexual desire. I want something that lasts forever… even until my hair turns white and wrinkles appear on my face."
"It's impossible thinking. You have been cursed with your pretty face and you will become a man's trophy in the future."
"No! As long as I don't give up, the chance will never become zero."
Agata kept denying her with her own resolve, knowing this was the best for her.
The woman smiled and looked at Agata. After a minute of hesitation, she walked toward her and hugged her.
"You might be able to surpass me. I already told you that I once became a Goddess of War and later turned into a Goddess of Sexual Love and Beauty.
"But I think you can surpass me… There's no need to choose one of them when you can become both. You shall become the strongest woman during the day and turn into a passionate one during the night.
"There's no need to hold yourself back. Thinking that you need to further your relationship first before doing something… That's correct and wrong at the same time.
"If you keep holding yourself back and don't confront your own feelings, you won't be able to get his heart. There's a time you need to step up." She smiled and closed her eyes. "That's why I will give you this ability.
"Depending on how you use it, you can become what you desire at any given time. Don't forget to thank that dwarf, as he's the reason you can use this ability.
"Keep confronting me if you think I am wrong, as I will continue doing so to make sure you don't change your way.
"Keep striving on your path and never doubt it. Only then can you see your true self. Believe in yourself as I never doubt myself… Goodbye."
Before Agata could say anything, the white room had collapsed as Agata's consciousness returned to her body.
"Mhm…" She let out a seductive moan while opening her eyes. It was at that time did she see the notification from her Goddess.
[You've acquired Uerila Dimension.]
Skill: Uerila Dimension (A)
Effect: Create a small dimensional illusion where the user will be in control.
It turned out her Goddess gave her the ability to make a dimension. She even showed it to her earlier by creating that room.
As she said, depending on how she used this Uerila Dimension, she could become a war-like figure during the day and a passionate couple during the night.
She could turn the battlefield however she wanted and make the best place during the night.
It was impossible for her to utilize this skill as it required too much Magic Power. However, if she used the shawl made by Dourner, she could utilize this power for a short time.
'I won't regret my decision..' Agata clenched her hand as she was more determined than ever as she closed her eyes and said, "Thank you."
