When Mary gained this new skill from the system, it felt like flipping a switch—her minor injuries and lingering fatigue from earlier battles began to fade away.
Her body hummed with energy, almost as if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.
She rapidly blinked her eyes in disbelief, moved her fingers, stretched her legs and rotated her shoulders.
Surprisingly nothing was wrong with any part of her, it was as if she were at full capacity again being able to draw on her powers without the fear of collapsing mid-battle.
Mary gripped the handle of her cutlass tightly, trying to focus for just a few seconds.
The steel blade crackled with electricity as she concentrated, eventually fully transforming into a shimmering form of pure electrical energy.
'I knew this be the right choice!' The thought came as a smile spread.
About 15ft away from her stood the creature, its earlier disinterest in her vanished, replaced by fierce resolve.
