I became a vampire princess and then a dragon girl?

However, Eve, who had more combat experience, immediately noticed something was wrong and picked up Istina and walked over there.

"Hey, this is it?"

Looking at the extremely regular gap on the ground in front of her, Istina seemed a little surprised.

The ground where the ball had just landed seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a smooth gap.

"Hmm... It looks like an annihilation-type ability, a form of destruction. Don't worry about its power, though. Only time will tell what kind of power it will ultimately become."

"That means..."

Before Istina could finish her words, Eve gave her a positive answer.

"That's right, Tina can fight with me from now on."

After hearing her answer, Eve felt something was amiss when she saw Istina's excited expression. But before she could say anything, Istina hugged her directly, and so...

"Cough cough."

Eve, who was knocked to the ground in a cloud of dust, was constantly fanning the dust in front of her with her hands and spoke unhappily.

"Tina, get ready, ahem, let's urgently start practicing control."

"……it is good."

It took a long time for Istina's embarrassed voice to emerge from the dust.

§ 87 Planning

"Okay, I'll go out and inform Viya and Arcana. Tina, just sit here for a while. And don't try to use magic again."

After the little episode just now, Eve helped Istina sit aside again, and in order to prevent her from trying to use magic power and causing any more accidents, she emphasized one sentence at the end.

The magic of annihilation is an extremely dangerous one. Once it gets out of control, it will become a physical version of evaporation.

"Don't worry, brave man, I won't try anything rash."

"That's great. I'll go call Wei Ya and the others in first, and then I'll arrange a training plan for you. For the rest of the time, you'll live in this demiplane. The tree house outside can't withstand your current strength."

"…Um."

Listening to Eve's teasing, Istina nodded slightly embarrassedly.

"See you later~"

As Eve spoke, her figure left the demiplane accompanied by a wave of the boundary gate.

And Istina also sat there obediently, not daring to move at all. After all, wherever she touched, it would explode. Although she felt that the strength she used was the same as usual, the places she touched would not think so.

On the other side, outside the demiplane.

brush

Seeing Eve's figure emerge from the gate, Ilvia and Arcana breathed a sigh of relief. Since Eve had come out, it meant that the dependent ceremony was over and there was no major trouble.

"Master, where are Tina and Dier?"

But after waiting for a while, they still didn't see Istina and Dier, so they couldn't help but ask.

"Tina's power has skyrocketed and she can't control it well. I guess we'll have to live in the demiplane for a while. Let's go in."

"Ah."

Entering the demiplane again, Istina still maintained the same look as when Eve left, not daring to move. Eve could understand her feelings. After all, if she accidentally fell, she could probably dig a hole in the ground and bury herself in it in order to get up.

"Tina~"

"Ah, my brave hero!"

Seeing Eve coming back, Istina subconsciously wanted to stand up to greet her, but then... her calves sank directly into the ground, making her freeze in place again.

"Ugh."

Looking at this scene, Eve could only shake her head helplessly, then walked over and picked her up.

"In short, your current situation is considered to be the threshold of not being able to control your own strength."

After putting Istina on the ground again, Eve sat opposite her and began to explain.

"Simply put, you need to draw a dividing line in your mind. The lower limit is the maximum strength you can use in daily life, and the upper limit is the strength required for combat. Of course, there are many more subdivisions, but Tina, let's focus on returning to daily life for now."

"Well, how do I practice control?"

"Well, there's really no good way to practice. Your situation is so rare. I guess all I can do is try more and more to get my body used to it."

There have been cases like Istina's where power suddenly increased in a short period of time and then lost control. Those who have inherited ancient traditions usually have similar situations, whether mild or severe. But Istina's problem is that the span of her power growth is a bit too large. Now she can even walk underground.

"As for your magic power, let's wait until you can control it and recover to the point where you can function normally. Give it some time to stabilize. If there are any abnormalities during this period, you must notify me immediately. The power of annihilation is extremely dangerous. Never force it. Remember?"

As she spoke, Eve looked straight into Istina's eyes.

"Well, don't worry, brave man, I won't force it."

"Well, that's good. Next, let's start practicing controlling our strength."

As she spoke, Eve stood up, helped Istina up and held her hands.

"Let's start by practicing walking."

At this time, Istina's legs were trembling, and her feet were slightly raised with only a little contact with the ground. She was able to maintain her standing only by relying on Eve in front of her to hold her.

"Okay, come on, just walk with confidence, applying force little by little until you can step on the ground."

"Uh-huh!"

With Eve to escort her, Istina felt much more at ease and began to try boldly.

"Okay, stop!"

After practicing for a while, Eve saw obvious footprints on the rock and immediately stopped Istina.

"Follow the intensity you just used, then reduce it a little and continue walking."

"Ah."

As time went on, Istina's steps became smoother and smoother, and Eve gradually began to reduce the strength in her hands, until she finally let go of them completely. Even without Eve's assistance, Istina didn't make any mistakes, so the initial practice was declared a success! ...What the hell.

It was originally the initial result, but Istina got excited and relaxed her control over her strength, so she stepped through the ground and scored twice.

"Cough cough."

Istina, who had sunk into the ground, was pulled up again. Eve was choked by the smoke and dust and couldn't stop coughing.

"Anyway, Tina, just remember the feeling and practice more until your body gets used to it. It shouldn't take too long."

Looking at Istina who seemed a little lost in her arms, Eve comforted her.

"Okay, on to the next item."

As she spoke, Eve used magic to create several stone balls of different sizes and matching stone pillars on the ground in front of her.

"First, try to lift all the stone balls without destroying them. Once you can do that, try to lift them and place them on the stone pillars."

Finally, fearing that Istina would feel pressured, Eve comforted her again.

"Tina, don't worry too much. Generally speaking, you can live a normal life after adapting to your own strength for a few days."

"Well, I'll do my best."

Although she felt a little disappointed just now, Istina quickly regrouped and looked full of energy again.

"Well, let's take this opportunity to talk about the future plans."

After thinking for a while, Eve decided to tell Istina about her plan first.

"Once you can control your main power, we'll train your reaction speed and acuity. The location is outside in the rainforest. As for your sparring partner, I'll leave it to Die'er."

As he spoke, a purple-black butterfly flapped its wings and landed in front of Istina.

"I'll have Butterfly hide in various places in the rainforest. If she touches you, you'll lose. On the other hand, if you find Butterfly in advance and touch her, you'll win."

Then Eve explained the reason for the plan.

"Because Tina's current situation is that she has suddenly gained powerful strength and perception, but her reaction and awareness can't keep up, so you must prioritize training in this area. Once you have adapted to your own strength, you can have a mock battle with me."

"Wait! Me and the Hero-sama fighting?!"

After hearing this, Istina couldn't remain calm.

"It's just a simulated battle. This is the best way to improve your combat skills, although actual combat will improve faster."

Finally, Eve clapped her hands and made a summary.

"In any case, Tina, just take it one step at a time and start with the most basic power control. Come on~"

"Well, don't worry, I will definitely catch up with the hero!"

"Well, I believe Tina."

The cover has a very large size restriction. In the end, it was approved after even the shoulders were blocked. However, it seems a bit monotonous. I will make some minor changes later (the author is not good at aesthetics).

§ 88 Awakening

In this way, a week passed in the blink of an eye, and Istina finally adapted to her surging power.

Of course, there were some fun moments during the process, such as when he just woke up in the morning and was still groggy, he slapped Eve into the ground with a flick of his hand, tried to brush off the dust on his clothes but ended up tearing them, and crushed a lot of tableware, forcing everyone to eat with their hands.

In other words, Eve was smart enough not to take out the spare folding beds, quilts, etc. on hand, but instead used fire magic to raise the temperature in the area around them. Otherwise, all the hardware facilities around them would probably have been destroyed.

As for the stone balls Eve prepared for training, it was unknown how many generations they had been used for.

The ways their predecessors died were even more varied. Some were thrown away, some were crushed alive, and some were pressed directly into the stone pillars due to excessive force. In short, there were quite a lot of ways.

Of course, their sacrifice was not in vain. After all, Istina can now return to normal life.

This also means that the training has entered the second stage and they have to move back to the tree house in the rainforest.

Although Eve added some illusions to the demiplane to beautify it so that people wouldn't get bored facing an empty land for a long time, it's still better to keep it pure and natural.

Although no one has returned to the tree house for a week, thanks to the magic, no uninvited guests have entered.

"Hmm. Feels a little damp."

I don’t know if it rained during this period, but the tree house was very humid at this time, and it seemed that water could be squeezed out of everything in the house.

"Dry yourself, Foehn."

Carefully controlling her magic to avoid igniting anything, Eve used a foehn wind to dry the items in the tree house.

"Well, that's much better."

Eve felt much more satisfied after touching the sleeping bag which had become fluffy again.

At this time, Istina, who seemed a little lost, also walked into the tree house.

Having just left the demiplane, Istina couldn't wait to practice with Dier, but looking at her current appearance, the result was self-evident.

"Lost?"

"Hmm... I couldn't see where Dier was when she bumped into me."

Eve was not too surprised by this result. Even without considering Dier's own abilities, the dim light and purple-black color scheme in the rainforest alone would probably be enough to give Istina a headache.

"Hmm, magic perception is useless?"

After the ritual of companionship, Istina's perception abilities were greatly enhanced, and her hearing, vision, and magical perception abilities were much stronger than before.

“…Yes, but it’s too much information to process.”

After a moment of silence, Istina said somewhat unwillingly.

Well, it seems that the power problem is the same as before. Lu Bu rides a donkey. The hardware is strong enough, but the processor is holding it back.

Eve had no good solution for this problem and could only practice more to learn how to filter the information.
