Chapter 160 Confusing Elysia

"Elysia, I'm going to be using you to test out these illusions so prepare yourself." Shaman was a little unsure if it was a good idea as Elysia does not have the best mental stability.

'Should be fine as long as I don't show her anything that she would consider bad.' Shaman's thoughts drifted to creating an illusion of her and Clara, which Shaman knew would cause the training hall to go up in flames.

'Yeah let's not.' Shaking her head, Shaman focused on doing something Elysia would like.

"Okay, I'm ready." Elysia mentally prepared herself for whatever she was going to see, but hoped it was something good.

"Alright, here goes nothing." Shaman wanted to test if she could make Elysia see multiple Shamans and how that would look.

The stardust swirled around Shaman for a moment before shooting itself towards Elysia.

Elysia shut her eyes instinctively as the dust was aimed right at her face. Realising that nothing had hit her, Elysia opened her eyes to see what happened.

"Huh?" What Elysia did not expect was to see 5 Shaman's surrounding her.

The real Shaman who was further back could see the copies of herself, but was unsure if Silver could.

"Hey Silver, can you see 5 of me surrounding Elysia?" Shaman whispered into his ear and Silver looked up at Shaman confused.

"There are 5 more Mothers?" Silver tried squinting his eyes while looking at Elysia, but could not see anything.

"Clara, can you see 5 more of me around Elysia?" Shaman wanted to make sure that only she could see the illusion.

"No, I see nothing." Clara hearing the question was a bit amazed as she could see the visible confusion on Elysia, indicating that she was indeed seeing something.

"Hmm it seems like only I and the person being affected will see the illusion." Shaman liked this detail as in a group fight it will make it harder to break illusion through a third party.

'Heh let's have a little fun seeing as no one else can see them.' Shaman had full control of the illusions and so she began to move them closer to Elysia.

'Oh my they are moving.' Elysia had no idea how to react as she knew it was an illusion but had no way of breaking it. A detail she also noticed was that the eyes of the copied Shamans looked like the stardust element.

The fake Shamans were now in arms length and they began to touch Elysia.

'Wait I can feel them.' Elysia began to freak out as the copies started moving their hands all over her body.

One of the copies restrained Elysia while the others began to tease her.

"Ah~ this is not fairrrrr." Elysia screamed out while also letting out a small moan.

Clara had facepalmed and Silver was still confused about what was actually happening. Shaman was giggling to herself as she couldn't believe that she could feel the copies.

'It must be a mental thing rather than actually creating copies, so right now her brain is thinking she is getting touched, but in reality, nothing is happening.' Shaman dismissed the illusion before it got too intense. Elysia fell to her knees heavily breathing as the situation itself was something she had fantasised about.

"Ahem, please don't do that again…. At least not in front of everyone." Elysia's face was completely red as she didn't want it to stop, but remembering where she was, Elysia felt a bit of shame.

"Hehe~." Shaman now had new ways to tease Elysia without moving and got lost in thought about all the different scenarios she could apply this.

"Oi." Elysia pouted as she saw the cheeky expression Shaman had and knew it did not mean anything good for her.

"AHEM!!" Clara loudly cleared her throat as this was not the time and place for it.

"Oops, my bad." Shaman got a little carried away, but now that she had an understanding of how it worked, she wanted to move on to something else.

"Maybe another time, anyway Elysia I want you to send some weak attacks towards me." Shaman wanted to test if she could use the dust as a defence. Shaman also gestured to Silver to stand back or sit by Clara, just so he would not accidentally get hurt.

Silver decided to go sit by Clara and watch from a distance unless Shaman called for him.

Elysia got up from the floor, still distracted by the lingering feeling of all the hands of Shaman that violated her.

Elysia then pulled out her bow and prepared a few basic fire arrows to shoot towards Shaman.

"Ready." Elysia signalled she was ready and Shaman thought of an idea of how to use her dust.

"Go for it." Shaman prepared her dust at the ready for the attack to come.

Elysia shot the arrow at a relatively slower speed just to make sure that if Shaman failed it could easily be dodged.

Shaman erected a wall of dust, intending to use it as a portal to the separate space. Just like in her fight against the half-bear noble, she also opened an exit portal. And yet, even after the arrow entered the first portal, not a thing came out of the second..

"Damn seems like I will have to use my spatial rift for moves like that." Shaman peaked into her portal and spotted the fire arrow on the ground, slowly fizzling out.

"Alright, send a few more attacks." Shaman once again prepared herself.

Elysia shot a few arrows that were the same as the first arrow. This time Shaman took a more physical approach with the arrows and blocked them like she was using a shield. The fire arrows disappeared upon contact and Shaman successfully defended against the light attacks.

"Now your spear." Shaman knew the attacks were rather weak and wanted to test if there was a limit.

"I won't be behind it so hit as hard as you can." Shaman then created a wall, allowing Elysia to hit it as hard as she could.

"Hehe." Elysia summoned her spear and walked up to the stardust wall.

Preparing to stab right into the wall Elysia took a deep breath, wanting to put as much effort as she could into the strike. Twisting her hips Elysia stabbed right into the stardust wall. Unexpectedly, a crack appeared on it, spreading out as if it was glass. Elysia continued to push into the wall until eventually the wall broke apart, turning back into dust.

"Okay so it's a physical object until broken." Shaman was a bit confused as to why it cracked like that, but it seemed the dust condensed together to create the object and when it breaks it will turn back into dust.

"Is that all?" Elysia was unsure if there were any offensive ways to use it as it seemed to be more of a support element.

"I think that will be it for now as I can't think of how to use it offensively. At most I would be just using an illusion and then taking them out while they are distracted." Shaman had already formulated ways to apply the illusions in battle as well as a good way to defend against attacks.

"Hold on, if I can create condensed objects does that mean I can use it like my ice to create weapons?" An idea had struck Shaman as when she created the wall it had physical properties.

Shaman quickly, using her dust, created a replica of her sword.

Shaman gripped the replica and created an ice block in front of her.

"Let's see how durable it is." Shaman wanted to see how effective it was and so she swung down on the ice box. Upon contact the stardust sword cut into the ice, but quickly broke right afterwards, turning into dust.

"Hmm, it is very brittle, looks like this is only good enough to get a quick hit in." Shaman was a little disappointed, but she was only tier 5, meaning there was still a lot of improvement to be had. Also, after the sword was completely gone, a system message appeared.

[Element control has improved]

[Unlocked Stardust free form]

'Finally the prompt I had been looking for.' Shaman was hoping to get this as the same thing happened with her ice.

'Looks like if I use the element in a lot of different ways, the system will allow me to use it as I see fit without requiring a different skill for every single type of application.' Shaman had proven a theory she had come up with ever since she got the ice free form skill and hoped to achieve this with the rest of her elements as well.

"Well at least you found ways to use it." Elysia already saw the element as extremely strong just for how versatile it was.

"Yes, I can't really complain." Shaman realised she shouldn't be asking for too much as this was already a huge boost in power. Now she could even take on people who are much higher tier.

"If that's everything, how about we go hit up the tier 5 or 6 dungeon?" Elysia was eager to do some fighting and thought why not spend the day getting some levels.

"We will go tier 5 as I don't want to get too far ahead of Clara in levels, plus I want to try out some more things while in battle, so we better take the safer option." Shaman wanted to try converting her elements into a free form like her stardust.

"I assume you're not coming with us Clara to the tier 5 dungeon?" Shaman still wanted to make sure, but the tired look on Clara's face already gave her the answer.

"I will sit this one out." Clara yawned. Although she did want to go, she did not feel like it was a good idea in her current state.

"Alright, Silver, go get ready and meet us out the front of the mansion." Shaman knew Silver would come so she urged him to get ready.

"Yep!" Silver hopped off the bench and instantly rushed out of the room to get into more outdoor clothes.

"Now that we know what we are doing, let's get going." Shaman went up to Elysia and grabbed her hand.

"Mhm." Elysia nodded. As they turned to leave, they noticed that Clara had already left, seemingly to her room.

As they exited the training hall, they found Freja just outside with Clara and Silver.

"Something urgent came up, we need to talk." Freja's grey eyes did not have the same playful look, indicating that whatever it was, it was quite serious.
