Most of these techniques were super evolved versions of previous ones, with a few new ones as well. They all sounded utterly overpowered as well… I feel like I've overdone it now.
But will this even be enough to defeat a monster like the Demon King of Death or Merlinus? I doubt so, even with all my power.
I need even more power after all.
But let's first analyze the new Skill a bit more.
Aside from the flavor text, which only seemed to surprise me more than anything, this:
-----
When wielding any Sword, the {Divine Heroic Sword Goddess Aura} will be automatically activated, increasing All Stats by 175%, enhancing Damage Dealt by 100%, and decreasing Damage Taken by 35%.
If using two or more Swords, the Aura evolves into {Divine Heroic Dual Sword Goddess Aura}, which doubles all effects and grants the power to create {Sword Goddess After-Images} that can deal real damage to foes of up to 30% of your original damage.
While the Aura is active, imbues your Soul and Spirit with the Essence of the Sword Law, granting the ability to transmute your very Spiritual Magic into Sword Element.
While transmuted, enhancing Spirit Magic, Aura, and any other related power imbued with the Sword Law's Attack Power, Piercing Power, Attack Speed, by +100%, with an additional +10% with each Skill Level, and grants the ability to ignore 30% of foe's Defenses, with an additional 1% with each Skill Level.

That Aura! Yes, that one, that used to be a buff I could only use for like, less than half an hour only three times a day. It was still a lot and pretty strong, but now? I can use it at any time, there's no cooldown, no usages per day, no time limit.
It's always active! And its effects just double once I dual wield, even crazier.
And even more, with two swords I create After-Images that can deal actual damage, this is insane.
I think it might be a bit overwhelming, I hope nothing bad happens now, so I can relaxedly practice the sword arts for a bit before battling anybody.
The second effect was something about adding the Sword Law to… magic itself, especially spirit magic. This was definitely an effect custom-made for me, as the Skill had evolved into a personal skill, every effect takes into consideration my already existing abilities, even the techniques.
To be able to imbue this "Sword Law" into my Spirit Magic seems pretty insane, and I think it somehow reminds me of my daughter's Sword Intent, a bit! Perhaps if I combine both, I could really get something strong.
And yeah, about this Sword Law thingy…
I could feel it within me, it was weird, it as both something I knew about, and something I had yet to fully comprehend.
There are Laws in this world, apparently, they encompass elements, perhaps, I assume. And sword is… supposed to be one? And I got it through the Skill, interestingly enough.
Huh…
"I think we're finally here! Sorry if it took a bit longer," David interrumpted my train of thoughts.
We had already arrived in the arena, we went down from the carriage and moved directly to the arena. There was a lot of people gathering around, making a lot of noise.
Players and Inhabitants interacting and excited about the competition. It seemed everyone was looking forward to it. I had thought nobody would really care that much…
I guess I was wrong…
"T-There sure is a lot of people around here! But why? It's not like the damn competition is that big of a deal, right?" wondered Ambil.
"Yeah, I think the same… I would have thought people would find it boring," I nodded.
"Well, the King and the Queen are coming to see it, so naturally everyone want to see his majesty and her majesty, even more his adorable son, prince Gustav," said David. "He is barely shown to the public and people is always excited to see how big he has grown so far!"
"Hahah, I guess people really love the royal family if they think in such a way," I nodded.
"It's a bit weird, they treat them like celebrities…" my daughter muttered.
"Well, they are, right? Even back home the royal family of England are treated like big celebrities for some reason," said Mark. "Everyone loves them…"
"Aaah, I guess so… There's certainly something that people like about nobility…" I nodded.
"Meh, I couldn't give more of a fuck about them," shrugged Anna. "Ahh, I-I mean the ones from our world, not here…" Anna noticed David glaring at her with shock after saying such a thing.
"Please excuse her, she's just young and a bit reckless at times," I told David.
"V-Very well, but please don't say such things about the royal family if possible! I might be lenient, but other guards might not stand to such things!" David clearly warned us.
"Gotcha," Anna said. "Anyways, we're here!"
"Yes, the entrance is really big…" Monica nodded. "I'm nervous, s-so many people…"
"Calm down, Monica, dear, it's alright," Elisa smiled. "If you're so scared like a baby, you can hold my hand I suppose. Would that calm you down?"
"R-Really? If you insist…" Monica blushed a bit, holding Elisa's hand. "T-Thank you Elisa…"
"Hmph, just stop being a scaredy cat all the time," Elisa said.
Elisa didn't seem to understand the girl might have liked that more than she imagined.
"Anyways, let's get inside, we got a lot to prepare before the competition begins," Ambil said.
As we walked inside, I looked at the Skill Specialization Marble and a few other Elixirs and Skill Books.
Might as well use all of these while we prepare.
