"I have to use this strength for something good…!" She cried, constantly pushing herself to her limits. "I've hurt so many people with this magic… I-I don't want to do that anymore!"

The darkness enshrouding her mind shook as it heard her will!

"So please… let me… LET ME TAKE CONTROL OF IT!"

As her screams resonated within her mind, I saw the darkness stop attacking her. It began to condense rapidly around her soul, and then it fused with the magic circle and the runes.

Becoming a completely unique magic circle we've never seen before.

FLAAASH!

"T-That magic circle… I knew she was talented but this…!"

Even the Great Spirit was shaken after seeing what was happening. The magic circle wasn't made of golden energy as usual, it was glowing with a crimson and black color.

Each of its runes were red, purple, and black at the same time, and seemed sinister in nature, looking like eyes on the spiraling magic circle…

And then, it stopped spinning as its powers were contained, placing itself near Monica's heart.

"Hahh… Ugh… D-Did I do it?!"

The process finished faster than we imagined, as the overflowing aura she held suddenly was contained within her, as if sealed by her own will.

"Y-You sure did…"

The Voice of the World whispered to my mind…

[You have awakened a [Magic Circle (Tier 1: Rank 8)] within [Monica]'s Heart!]

[The [Shadow Accursed Ghost Princess Magic Circle] has gained 800 Curse Runes!]

[The [Magic Circle] has acquired the following Engraved Spells: [Life Draining Curse], [Soul Eating Curse], [Mana Draining Curse], [Accursed Abyss Chains], [Accursed Spectral Aura]!]

[1 Curse Rune equal to 5 Darkness, Phantom, and Death Runes.]

Wait, does this means she has like 4000 Runes already?! Curse Runes are amazing, and also unique, kind of like my own Spirit Runes which amount for almost every element, making me an omni-elemental magician.

"I-I feel… I think I feel much better now? Like… there isn't this heavy weight in my chest anymore." Monica wondered, feeling much more comfortable after that power was used to create her Magic Circle.

She was so talented she started as Tier 1 Rank 8 from the beginning, even higher than my already talented daughter… Though, their powers are too different to compare them.

Unlike my daughter Monica is still very physically frail, also her curse magic is not that flexible, and can only do a couple of very lethal things.

I suppose the two could complement each other's fighting styles really well… Monica could weaken a foe and Elena finishes them off with a very strong attack.

Though, if the foe is weak enough, Monica's Life Draining Curse can one shot them… It is quite scary, indeed. But she's a gentle hearted girl.

"That's good! That's exactly what this magic circle was supposed to be after all!" I celebrated, clapping. "Well done, Monica!"

"I-I hope I can be of some help in the future…" She sighed. "Or maybe, just to protect myself better too… Or my friends…"

"Phew…" At the same time as she saw that, my daughter opened her eyes, her body turned blue skinned for a little while. Her black hair turned silvery-white, her eyes deep red, and she gained horns. "Hahhh… What materials did you gave me, mom? For a moment it felt as if other Onis were with me, and gave me their power… weird."

"Hahaha, yeah, weird right? I used some of the materials from the Oni-type Monsters in BNLO." I giggled innocently.

"Eh?!" She was shocked. "Ah, makes sense now…"

Her blue skin now gained new tattoos, crimson-colored tattoos growing around her arms, which seemed to enhance her physical strength even further.

The Voice of the World resonated inside of my mind in that moment too.

[You have enhanced [Elena] Magic Circle from Tier 1 Rank 6 to Tier 1 Rank 9!]

[The [Dark Abyss Sword Magic Circle] has gained 300 Darkness Runes and 450 Oni Runes!]

[A New Rune has been created within [Elena] Magic Circle, Oni Runes.]

[1 Oni Rune counts as 10 Physique Runes.]

[Oni Runes won't increase her Magic Circle Rank, however.]

[Her [Magic Circle] has acquired the following Engraved Spells: [Red Oni's Physical Enhancement Red Tattoos], [Moonlight Blade], [Beginner Sword Ki Aura]!]

"Now I can maintain my form for much longer and- What in the world? It feels like my whole body got much stronger from the get-go! But I have no Physique, right?"

"Oh my, you just develop a unique Rune!" Said the Great Spirit. "Oni Runes? What in the world is THAT?! I've never heard of Runes capable of enhancing your Physique even without having one! What a cheat!"

"So that's it?" Elena asked.

"Yeah, I think that's the case." I nodded. "It's strange, I guess this happened because I used Oni Materials and they were VERY compatible with her, right?"

"Most likely." The Great Spirit nodded. "Although these Oni Runes will help her, she still needs to exercise! You're not getting much stronger unless you do a lot of exercise, girl. Keep going to the gym as usual. You might get a Physique in a few days I think."

"Oooh! Really?" Elena was excited. "Alright, I better not slack off then! Let's go to the gym right now, mom!"

"Ahahaha… You're really excited." I giggled a bit. "Okay, let's have breakfast before that."

Knock, knock!

At the same time, I heard someone knocking at the door, it was Mark, who brought doughnuts today.

"I hope we find some Hollows in the way so I can practice my new spells…" Elena was pumped up.

"Me too!" Even Monica was the same.

"Sure, sure, let's eat before that." I giggled a bit.

Now that I know my daughter was competently strong, I felt a bit more relieved. If something were to happen to her, I know she'll have the strength to at least run away to safety.

Though, knowing her attitude… She might end up staying to fight, I need to teach her to not be too reckless either.
