Chapter 103 Whip Blades

The girls and Wolfy made their way to the dungeon to finally clear the entire thing.

One thing Elysia was concerned about was the skeleton knight that was deeper in the dungeon as she wasn't sure how Shaman would cope with it.

"Shaman, are you sure you will be okay when we face the skeleton knight?" Elysia could imagine Shaman freezing in place or even passing out if they entered the room.

Shaman froze for a moment at the mention of the skeleton knight which worried Elysia even more.

"Aha, I should be fine, but it may be a little difficult to beat." Shaman did not sound confident and Elysia gave her an unimpressed look.

"Oh what's the worry, I will be with you this time so if things go wrong I will bail everyone out with my lightning." Clara interjected and wrapped her arm around Shaman.

Elysia's face instantly changed into a death glare, and the air around Clara suddenly became cold causing her to let go of Shaman.

"Jeez, is it just me or did it get cold all of a sudden." Clara rubbed her arms and Elysia stopped her glaring.

Shaman let out a sigh as she was forced to remember what kind of girl Elysia was.

'This past month we have had so little contact with others, so Elysia hasn't had a need to show that side of herself and I kind of wish it would stay like that.' Shaman enjoyed not having to deal with a potentially yandere girlfriend and could only hope Elysia can keep it under control in the near future.

Elysia had also taken this opportunity to grab ahold of Shaman's hand and started to pout.

They arrived at the dungeon, passing by the guards with ease since they were regulars and had no need to show any proof of entry.

They entered the initial part of the dungeon they were all familiar with and prepared themselves for combat.

The tattoo on the back of Shaman's hand started to glow a little till finally kotetsu appeared in her hand. Elysia brought out her new spear as she wanted to give her new fighting style a go and was eager to murder a few hordes of Terikin. Wolfy had no need to get ready so he waited for the others to finish.

Clara on the other hand pulled out 2 midnight purple whips which shined under the bright crystal light of the dungeon. Shaman was fascinated by the weapons as they did not look like normal whips, but rather blades that were stringed together. The handle was black, the pommel gold, and the hilt was adorned with the symbol of the ado family, small wings coming out to either of its sides.

Clara noticed that Shaman was eyeing her weapon and could not help but brag about it.

"You see these bad boys, they can rip through hordes of monsters with ease. Now, you might be asking yourselves, how do I not hit myself? Well that is because I use my lightning for protection." Clara puffed her chest feeling proud, while Shaman was still staring with curiosity.

Elysia on the other hand felt like Clara had rehearsed this many times suggesting that a lot of people have already had the same question.

"Well could you show us? We have yet to see you fight and it would be helpful for figuring out how we can synergize." Shaman wanted to see Clara in action as she could see herself accidentally getting caught in the crossfire and thus wanted to learn how Clara fought.

"Sure thing! Let me take on the first horde of Terikin we come across and I will clean them up in mere seconds." Clara was excited and could not wait to show off a little.

"Actually wait till we get to a deeper level and then you can show us." Shaman changed her mind as she wanted them to save their energy for now, so they can go all out deeper inside the dungeon. She could also feel that Clara was going to go overkill and did not want Clara to exhaust herself before they even reached the next area.

Clara's excitement died down a little as Shaman had a valid point, realizing it wouldn't be a good idea to go all out just to show off.

"Don't worry, you will have plenty of opportunities once we are deeper into the dungeon." Shaman felt a little bad for killing Clara's mood, so she tried to reassure her that she would get her chance. Luckily, it worked like a charm and Clara's excited mood came back.

"Alright let's GOO!!" Clara took off and everyone else followed her lead.

The group had made it to the main cathedral at the back of the dungeon without fighting any Terikin as they were mainly triggered if you stepped over the graveyards.

Clara had still insisted on fighting some but Shaman wanted to have every bit of energy they could gather for the fights in the deeper part of the dungeon. This in turn pushed Shaman to take the lead as previously Clara kept veering off course in an attempt to trigger hordes of Terikin, only to be stopped by Shaman or Elysia.

However when they arrived the entire cathedral was surrounded by a graveyard, forcing them to trigger a horde to get inside.

"Well, it looks like we will have a warm-up battle before we enter." Elysia had also wanted to fight a horde before they entered so she was all rearing for a good fight.

"Finally I can show off, I mean show you what I can do." Clara let out an awkward laugh but Shaman let out a little chuckle as she found Clara's behavior rather cute.

"Alright Clara, I will let you deal with this, so if you need any help just call out." Shaman gestured for Clara to go ahead while Elysia, Wolfy and her watched from a safe distance.

Clara sprinted towards the cathedral, running through the graveyard that surrounded it. She arrived halfway through the graveyard and put a stop to her running, waiting for the Terikin to rise from the ground.

The screams of the terikin began to emerge and ghostly hands pierced the ground from below. Slowly, the Terikin pulled themselves upwards and out of their graves.

Those who were already out began to slowly surround Clara, while new ones continued to pull themselves out.

"Oh, how nice of you to wait for your pals to get up before you attack hehe~" Clara had let the blades of the whip fall to the ground and patiently waited for the Terikin to get out from the ground.

The screams of the Terikin continued to cry out till finally all of the Terikin were fully emerged. A joint scream echoed throughout the dungeon causing Clara to wince a little from the ear piercing shrieks.

After the scream came to an end, the group of Terkin began to close in on Clara. The Terikin had formed a wall of sorts all around Clara as the sheer number of them forced them to start climbing on top of each other to try and reach her.

The circle was slowly shrinking and Clara had yet to make any move, which had Shaman and Elysia worried, but they trusted her enough to come out unscathed.

The circle was beginning to get dangerously close and the wall of Terikin grew higher creating a massive wave of Terkin.

Clara cracked the whip, infusing it with purple lightning. Small lightning bolts could be seen appearing along the small little blades of the whip and the purple tint of the blades had become more apparent.

Lightning flickered around Clara and the purple gems embroidered in her dress were also starting to glow.

Clara then disappeared in a flash of lightning and reappeared high above the Terikin. Due to how close the Terikin were they crashed into each other, leaving a pile of Terikin where she once stood, while others were sent flying to the sides.

Lightning began to once again manifest around Clara and the lightning around the blades began to get more violent.

Clara then shot down to the ground with a trail of lightning behind her, resembling a lightning strike. Clara used her whip blades to shred through the middle of the Terikin pile like a drill till she reached the ground. Once she had reached the ground a burst of lightning stretched out killing multiple Terikins at once. Once Clara landed she began spinning around with her infused whip's blades, shredding any Terikin in its path. As she spun, the blades stretched out even more, increasing in range and leaving behind a zone of carnage wherever she stepped.

To Shaman, Elysia and Wolfy it had looked like Clara was elegantly dancing as she spun through the pile of Terikin.

Lighting had also come off the blades striking the cores with precision while the blades went through the slimy bodies of the Terikin. A few moments of spinning went by and Clara decided to put her 2 whips together in one fluid motion, then slammed them into the ground, causing an explosion of lightning. This had finished off most of the remaining Terikin in one fell swoop, leaving the group to watch in awe as Clara had killed over 150 Terikin in such a short span of time.

Clara's lighting was destructive and pairing it with her blades amplified that destructiveness, reeking havoc on the battlefield.

Some Terikin had survived and tried to rush at Clara in one last pitiful attack, but were quickly finished off with one swing of Clara's whips. Clara, after finishing off the stragglers had turned back to the group to tell them it was now safe, but to also seek praise.

"So how was I? I was super cool right?" Clara wore a proud smile and put her hands on her hips as she waited for praise.

Shaman and Elysia chuckled a little as they just witnessed a destructive murder machine start acting cute.

Wolfy on the other hand deeply admired Clara's destructiveness and simply stared at her with amazement.

"Hey don't laugh, that was hardly 10 percent of my power." Clara pouted a little as she could hear the girls laughing.

Both Shaman and Elysia stopped chuckling as they let Clara's words properly sink into their minds.

"Ehhhh? That was only 10 percent?" Shaman and Elysia spoke in unison with the shock of what they just heard.
