"Sagi are you sure? Minato recommended getting one below your sigil level to decrease the risk of a takeover remember?"
Shaking her head in defiance, "No I need this beast to cover my weakness."
Looking at her with an understanding "I get it it's for your skill Saint of Swords, knives and anything sharp, using its randomized elemental quills is a very good idea indeed however the risk still runs high, maybe the superior demon ice rabbit could craft ice weapons too?"
Sagi pleading, "no Yuujiro it'll take too long not to mention frostbite and by then either you or I will be dead, my best chance at helping us as a party is with the Ancient Omega Porcupine."
Angry at myself and having been ignorant of her feelings, "My apologies Sagi, I know you're a true Trojan Warrior, it's my own fault and regrets of allowing you to face that Legendary Iron Spaulders Rhino alone that made me overprotective since you've recovered."
"But I have realized that that's our party dynamic and that we've got equal parts of responsibility to each other and especially ourselves, having said that go all out and I make sure you succeed."
Take it as an endless dice roll, to get the number 6 three times in a row. It may take a while, but it exists in the realm of possibilities.
Standing in the far back, letting Minato coach her in preparation. I readied myself as well, unsure if I may fail, I casted my fail safe, "Endless Reincarnation Magic - Attis..." time magic burned into the ground below my feet.
I promise to save you if it doesn't work even if I have to kill myself.
Standing face to face with the Ancient Omega Porcupine, she lets out a battle cry and jabs a small knife nicking its forehead and slams her palm after mixing their blood.
In her cute but firm voice announcing, "Soul Vow - Bayonet!" invoking the blood vine attaching their souls together.
Without a sweat, she casts "Ancient Siege Magic - Drawbridge!" magic circles created in the air shooting out long steel chains wrapping around the legs and body of the Omega Porcupine, drawing it slowly but surely over the finish line.
However, like me she had problems in the soul realm, unable to adapt and focus concurrently with the real world. The soul realm is also a place where you cannot cast magic but can only draw on your raw magic power within your sigil to overpower the opponent.
The magical distortion in space showing us her progress in the soul realm, seemingly unstable. The Omega porcupine fortunately was slow to react in the soul realm as well, awaking only seconds before she did making little strides against her.
Sagi soul pulls with all its might and was slowly turning the tides against it until it retaliated. Unleashing a surge of ancient classed energy, the Omega Porcupine created spikes around its manifested body and shot all of it towards her soul, ripping it to shreds like newspaper.
Sagi writhes and spasms in pain before going limp, as it had already began consuming her soul.
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful, ally lost and pending removal from party."
"Sagi No! I clasped my palms together casting "Universal Time Bending Magic - Chronos Fora!"
Watching with uncertainty, unsure if her consumed Soul would detach and revert.
Time begins reversing for a total span of 5 mins to the point where she awakens within her soul realm, fortunately the dismembered pieces of her soul began reverting as well escaping from the belly of the Omega Porcupine.
This time will be different, as I shouted "Sagi fortify your soul with your ancient sigil magic!" My words reached her, allowing her to create a set of trojan armor around her manifested soul."
However, it was not strong enough to deter the impalement from Omega Porcupine's manifested soul. Riddled with holes, her soul being dragged over the finish line.
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
"This time for sure... repeating the universal time reversal several times attempting different strategies, go on the offensive! stabbing the Omega porcupine only to receive a point-blank iron maiden clamp on her soul, keep your distance! resulting in shot pin missiles skewering her completely..."
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
"Ping... World System - Soul Dominance Unsuccessful..."
... Ally lost pending removal from party...
Feeling more helpless each time ... Sagi needs a weapon or an absolute defense otherwise she's helpless.
Maybe... "Universal Time Bending Magic - Chronos Fora! 10mins"
Reverting even further to the moment she was about to place her hand on the Omega Porcupine.
"Sagi Wait!"
Shocked she pulled her hand back, "What's wrong Yuujiro?" as she looked deep into my eyes.
"How many times?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know exactly what I mean Yuujiro tell me..." I can see it in your eyes, the fatigue and toll it has taken on you."
Unbeknownst to me, my eyes were blood shot, hundreds of burst capillaries from over usage of my time magic never meant to be at a universal scale.
It's easy to rob energy from atoms and stop time itself but impossibly more difficult to instill energy in every single one to reverse their unique movements.
"Maybe I'll just let it go you're right it's not possible." Her face breaking into tears.
"Minato, is it possible to use physical weapons in your soul realm?"
Perplexed he answers, "Yes manifested weapons using raw sigil magic can be constructed in the soul realm during the Astral Tug of War, but this takes away attention from the pull itself in exchange for an edge."
"I have mentioned this to Miss Sagi but as I explained to her being a novice in the soul realm usually does not give you much time to practice creating such constructs strong enough to overwhelm an opponent nature has made."
"And if that is not enough?"
"If so, one should retire the thought of attempting further, unless perhaps if you are blessed to be in the possession of a Divinity classed weapons or armor, meaning items crafted from the materials of God Class monsters."
"There was a past recount from ages past when Gods were simply infants within this world, newly created by the World Titan Kronos. Seeking to overthrow his rule they had to gather power."
"The Alpha Demon Bulls history was long intertwined with its ruler Hades the God of the underworld."
"The spectacle so great all the demon clans in the underworld bore witness to it. The overpowering and first familiarization, equipped with Stygius the Sword of the unforgiving and Aegis the shield of reflected hatred he dominated the original true Cerberus the thousand headed beast, gate keeper of the underworld."
"The three headed Cerberus you see today are simply offsprings of the true gatekeeper of the Underworld. The Astral tug of war was a sight to behold, his shield and sword divine weapons a part of his soul protected and ensured his victory."
In that case all we need is one divinity weapon and I happen to have one...
