While Maria and Artemia had just begun their fight somewhere on the lower floor, the same desert Artemia and Sakuya appeared when they entered the game world, Luna was currently walking toward one of the entrances that led to one of the so-called Gods of this village.
The god Luna chosen happened to be the same one as the one her best friend Sakuya faced when she was on this floor, it Set, and as he did it with Sakuya when she first appeared, Set introduced himself.
''I'm Geb's son and Ra's former guard, also known as the master of power and battle-Set. I shall-"
Set didn't get the opportunity to finish because, in the next instant, Luna was before him.
''What?" The god of power and battle was shaken; it was a speed he didn't possess because he had recently undergone a reset (A/N: Some of the monsters after dying would be resurrected, this is called a reset and only happens to special monsters).
Having undergone a reset, he was not 100% of his capacity. He even doubted even he was he would not this speed, Set who was momentarily lost due to a shock felt something on his armor when he lowered his head he saw Luna's fists on his stomach; he immediately knew that something bad would follow if he let her finish what she was about to do. The only solution in this situation would be to summon Undead, but for an unknown reason, his Undead monsters were frightened, refusing to hear his call.
It was already too late by the time Set thought of another solution.
''Double punches: Pit Smash!" Luna shouted the name of her skill as her fists glowed red. Set felt like a heavenly hammer had hit him; his armor broke into pieces, and his stomach was carved in as he was sent flying; he vomited blood.
Luna followed by jumping in the air; she summoned her staff; she grinned before swinging it.
''Holy Bash!"
Set's skull cracked and died just like that; his last thought was, 'There is nothing Holy about that.'
Even if Luna had heard what he said, she would have just shrugged her shoulders, paying no attention to what Set said as it was not the first time she heard someone criticizing her skill name.
''Ah! That was refreshing.'' Luna said while wiping away her non-existent sweat. Sometimes the sound of bones crushing under her staff was like a sweet melody she could not get enough of it.
Just as she was wondering if she would get the chance to crush a few bones before the final Boss, magic appeared under her feet, and she was teleported from Set's room.
When Luna opened her eyes again, she was at the edge of snow land. She marveled at the sight of the beginning of the snow land; she loved it; however, her expression became severe when she noticed energy, the same one she felt back then when she was dragged along her master during her training.
''Shit, she used it again.''
Luna used instant strengthening twice on herself before shooting forward like a rocket; she must hurry and arrive there before it was already too late. On the way, she recalled something unpleasant.
Flashback
That day the sun was high in the sky as though blessing the world as usual. Luna, under Armstrong, her teacher's instructions, was practicing her skills, letting her body adapt to the sudden increase of strength. Armstrong had said the goal of this training was to help her reduce the aftereffect of repeatedly using Instant Strengthening.
Just as she was getting the gist of it, her master received a call, he immediately frowned, and his face became serious even when he put on a smile; his face betrayed his feeling. If she didn't spend a few days and didn't observe her master, she would not have noticed it. Something was up, and she must know what it was. She had the feeling that whatever it was, it had something to do with her, so faster than her master, she raised a question.
''Master, what is it? And Better not lie to me.'' Luna asked while cracking her knuckles; her master found this behavior cute but still decided to tell her because it concerned her; it was her friend, after all.
''It's about your friend Maria, she has gone berserk.''
''What?" Luna was shocked, but before she could ask for more, she was dragged into a teleportation formation that suddenly appeared before her master. When they passed through this teleportation formation, they appeared in a snow land that seemed to have been previously filled with icebergs that were now destroyed.
She saw her friend, she shivered and unconsciously took a step back, Maria in front of her had white hair, and one of her eyes was almost entirely white. She fought evenly against Freya; she even turned one of her arms into an ice sculpture.
Boom!
Because of the shock, Luna didn't notice Maria arriving before her; it was thanks to her master that she was unscathed. Shocked, she watched the two fighting a junior; the fight was tough and lasted almost one hour. Luna knew it lasted this long because none of them (Freya and Armstrong) could bring themselves to use their full strength; if not, they might accidentally kill Maria.
The subdued Maria falls into a coma shortly after. Freya explained that it was unknown what triggered this powerful yet extremely dangerous mode. This power could become her trump card, her strongest ability that even Freya as her master envied, but the current Maria couldn't handle it. Using it drains her life force. If she were an average human, she would have died a long time ago.
The two master's words were etched into her soul.
''Absolutely never let her use this power, and in the case, she has already used it before you arrive there to do everything you can to stop her if not the only thing that could stop her would be her running out of life force meaning only death will stop her if you let her use that power.''
Back to the present, Luna bit her lower lip while running toward the fight's location at fast speed.
''I hope one of her eyes has not completely turned white; if not, I will be forced to that power. Sincerely I do not wish to use it, not yet.''
Thinking about that power, Luna felt goosebumps rose all over her body; she shuddered; she could only pray that her worst fear did not come true.
