(Elayne's POV)
Everyone was left speechless after what my daughter did, and honestly, too. One thing was seeing her use such powerful abilities through her Avatar, and also seeing her using the Spells and Physique Abilities she acquired IRL.
But using those ridiculous powers DarkReaper refined through her years playing the ga, and with her incredibly powerful build which specialized completely on one-on-on battle…
It was insane!
My daughter is just… incredible!
"Amazing, Elena!"
I ran to her side, but then, she looked at , without sheathing her katanas yet.
"Mom… can we spar?"
"Eh?"
Her eyes were full of resolve.
Spar?
With my own daughter?
Outside of… our avatars?!
"W-What are you talking about, Elena?"
"I… I almost achieved sothing I never thought possible."
Her hand was trembling, her eyes were full of obsession.
"Mother… please let spar with you! I want to surpass my limits- No, I want to surpass you!"
"Elena? You're not being yourself…"
"Please just this once!"
"No, enough is enough… I might be good at the sword but… well, it's because of abilities. It's not the sa as-"
FLASH!
Out of nowhere, Elena charged against .
"Elena?!"
I had to quickly defend, swinging my blades upwards, and tanking her katana slash.
That pitch-black katana she created, it was still there.
CLAAASH!
Its power was enormous, pushing back several ters.
"Ugh! Elena, what's gotten into you?!"
"Hahh… Hahh… I must surpass… my limits…"
Her eyes were growing redder, as her Oni features were growing larger.
This is…
I quickly realized what was happening.
It's her transformation, and…
That pitch-black sword!
"Bring the greatest foes! Only the strongest are allowed, Elena!"
The blade, it was whispering to her.
"The strongest… mother…! Please, spar with !"
That damned blade, it sohow beca a demonic blade or sothing!
"No!"
I quickly evaded her slash, as I spun in midair and used my wings to fly high.
However.
SLASH! SLASH!
"Ugh?!"
Suddenly, all four of my wings were severed, and I fell from the skies.
When did she do that?!
She's so fast!
"Spar with , mother! Why… why are you looking down on ?!"
Her Oni-like appearance continued becoming less and less like my daughter.
"You're no longer yourself, Elena! Calm down! Deactivate your ability!"
"Not until you spar with !"
"I said… NO!"
Instead of using my dangerous swords, I used a powerful spell to blind her and stun her in place.
"{Fusion Spell}: {Exorcizing Heavenly Purifying Light}!"
FLAAASH!
A flash of purifying holy light of gold and white color engulfed her completely, the blinding light began to exorcize her dark blade, as I saw the screaming phantasmal being within it.
"UUAAAGGGHH!"
However, it was resisting a lot! Was this Elena's Shikigami? This thing was trying to take over my daughter!
"How dare you take over my daughter! You are a Shikigami, her familiar! Don't you ever dare do that again! Or else… I'll kill you!"
As I said that, I quickly sealed the phantasmal Shikigami.
"{Fusion Spell}: {Demon-Sealing Chains of Heavenly Celestial Light}!"
Countless chains erged, covering its entire phantasmal body! It was being rapidly weakened, dragged down.
However…
"GRAAAHAHAHA!"
He laughed, showing its red Oni-like mask.
"Don't you think that's too weak?!"
"What?"
Crack, crack…!
CRASH!
A storm of slashing attacks was unleashed, as Elena cut through all my chains at the sa ti as she released several slashing attacks against .
"Show what you got! GRAHAHAHA!"
As the Shikigami laughed and Elena obeyed his will, I quickly decided to use another Spell.
A new Spell I had created.
"Fine, you called for it," I sighed. "{Divine Demon Sealing Ward Cube}"

Divine Wards combined with conventional spells instantly engulfed the Shikigami and the sword, at the sa ti, I also conjured another {Exorcizing Heavenly Purifying Light}, separating it from Elena fully.
"UUAAAGH! W-WHAT'S THIS?!"
The Shikigami scread in agony as he was rapidly compressed into a small golden cube, his shadows endlessly swirling around furiously.
"Ahh!"
Elena quickly ca back to her senses, gasping for air.
"M-Mom? What happened? W-What was I saying?!"
"Elena! You're finally back, dear. Are you ok?"
"Yeah but… W-What did I do?! Are you hurt?"
"No, I'm fine… It wasn't you, it was this thing! Calm down."
I hugged her and caressed her black hair, kissing her forehead.
I cald down as well, before glaring at that thing.
"Can you deactivate the Skill?"
"Yes…"
She quickly turned back to normal, and so the Shikigami disappeared as well, leaving behind her knife, which after I imbued with a Holy Ward, I gave back to her.
"I can't believe that damn thing got inside my head…" she sighed. "I guess I got too into it… Ugh, I'm so sorry mom… I was reckless, and I almost… I almost…"
"Calm down," I said. "You weren't almost about to do anything. It was the Shikigami. We'll have to train together so I can help you fully dominate him. I've left so Holy Chains within his phantasmal structure. So maybe he'll act a bit more obediently.
It should at least make you aware when he's trying to take over you, so you can repel him or deactivate the Skill."
"O-Okay… You aren't mad?" she wondered.
"I can't really be mad at you, what you did was amazing… even when you fought possessed, you showed incredible strength," I giggled a bit. "Ah, maybe there's sothing wrong with if I'm ever saying such a thing but… it worried a bit, but it also made a bit happy."
"H-Happy?" she wondered.
"Yeah, that you've grown so strong," I nodded. "It ans that you'll be able to fight back against this world's threats better. As long as we train so you can control it better, I think I'll be able to relax a bit more."
"Ah, yeah…" Elena nodded. "Ugh, my head hurts a bit though."
"Here, let heal your exhaustion," I said, giving her so of my sap.
"Ugh, I would rather have a potion… your sap is like… if I was drinking your blood, right?" she wondered.
"I-It's not the sa!"
Although things ended with an anticlimactic battle, this also revealed my daughter's true strength, and made feel relieved she was strong.
But that Shikigami, and her powers… I have to help her control them.
