The True Power of Fenrir

"My Lady." Aria watched Elaine's boob—*Cough!* kneel before her once she inhabited the Material Body. And to her slight surprise, the appearance was still that of Tessia Eralith to the tea, meaning, that Elaine had truly decided to adopt this appearance.

'Fenrir truly must have scared her.' The Echidna thought amusedly, as she reluctantly waved her hand and used the Daemon's intrinsic skill [Material Creation] to clothe the naked Elaine.

"Thank you once again for your gift, my lady!" Elaine bowed her head even more than before. These clothes and this body of hers… 'I'll never let anyone touch them, except Lady Echidna who granted them to me.' Her eyes darkened, with obsession apparent.

Treyni who was watching couldn't help but be gobsmacked…again. The amount of magicules she sensed when Aria was creating Elaine's clothes, 'It has to be the famed God-grade surpassing legendary, that is already rare in nations like Dwargon.'

Indeed, with a casual wave of her hands Aria created Mythical class—also known as God-grade—clothing for Elaine. Why wouldn't she? She didn't want her first and strongest follower to die because she didn't have any adequate clothing.

It would be a stain and embarrassment she wouldn't be able to wash off for the rest of her immortal life…Unless she killed all witnesses. Anyways, Elaine was in fact superior to Fenrir, the main reason for this being that she was a Spiritual Lifeform and Fenrir, a Demi-Spiritual Lifeform.

Unfortunately, Aria couldn't create beings of willpower with her essence, or rather, she could, but their egos and personalities would take time develop unlike Demi-Spiritual Lifeform.

With Elaine being a Spiritual Lifeform, the only method to kill her would be the destruction of her Spirit Nucleus—also known as Core, which serves as both a container for her Ego and as well as a recording device for Information. The other way is total loss of energy.

Also, for a Spiritual Lifeform, a mental being of willpower, the concept of 'belief' is extremely important. So if Elaine perceives herself superior to Fenrir, just this belief gives her an edge and higher chance of winning, and vice versa.

Chance being the keyword. Aria didn't think that Fenrir was any less powerful than a Spiritual Lifeform. She had, after all, picked out the best genes and qualities from her archive when creating him, which as a result gave him intrinsic skills like the True Giants' [Magic Nullifcation], a High Human's capacity for Magic, the potential of True Dragons, etc.

By doing all of this, Aria had literally created a new species of wolves; Fenrir. And that wasn't all that gave Aria such confidence, it was the Unique Skill: [Slayer], which formed at his birth.

It was a Unique Skill that suited a being named after the Beast of Ragnarök, making Aria speculate the coincidence. Did the skill came into existence because Fenrir felt her emotions? Was it because he understood what his name meant?

A limitation that Aria had realised of her Essence of Echidna was that she couldn't grant concepts to her existence, she couldn't make Fenrir embody the concept of 'End' or 'Destruction', like how Veldora represents the major aspects of the world like 'wind', 'water' and 'space', thus making him able to revive after a certain period of time, and giving him domination of those elements.

So the theory she came up with for Fenrir's Unique Skill, was her child understanding her desire, and out of loyalty he had as a result of the essence, it granted him a skill that will most certainly give him the potential to be comparable to the original God Devouring Wolf. This was the most plausible explanation as Unique Skills are Skills that are born as the expression of the mind, emotions, and desires of their user.

[Slayer] allowed Fenrir to detect and exploit the weaknesses of an opponent. The weaknesses are not limited to the physical body, and extends to weaknesses in skills, magic, or psychological aspects.

[Slayer] has three sub-skills, namely; [Bane of All Things], [Endless Pursuit], and [Predators Instinct]. The names are truly deserving when one knows of their abilities.

[Bane of All Things] imbues Fenrir's attacks and body parts with a type of curse that's core essence is 'deterioration'. The curse ignores most defences and pain nullification, affecting mental, physical, magical, spiritual and astral bodies of the target.

Essentially, it is a force that weakens the fundamental essence of whatever it touches, rendering targets a husk of their former self. This sub-skill is what gave Aria confidence in Fenrir having the capability to slay a Spiritual Lifeform, with subsequent ones further aiding him.

[Endless Pursuit] was a supplemental ability that allowed Fenrir to track down anyone once marked by him. This mark could be placed by Fenrir smelling the target, or just having them in his line of sight. Once the individual is marked, Fenrir is able to track and hunt them, regardless of attempts to evade or conceal their presence.

The last sub-skill was one that made Aria raise an eyebrow when she heard from Fenrir what it does. It made her remember the gluttonous genderbent King of Knights from Nasuverse.

[Predators Instinct], like its [Instinct] counterpart in Type-Moon, allowed Fenrir to always identify "the best personal course of action" during combat, and is essentially a sixth sense in the realm of predicting the future.

That was Fenrir, and Aria was proud, she would make sure to spoil him rotten. However, she was soon brought of her accelerated thoughts by Elaine.

"Lady Echidna, I forgot to mention, I acquired a Unique Skill." Elaine happily said, she had no reason to hide such information from her Queen, and she was sure she already knew too, the following words confirming her beliefs.

"I can tell." Aria replied, a knowing smirk spread across her lips when she saw the feedback of her analysis.

[Obsessor]. That was the name of the skill she acquired, and Aria knew full well why. She created a Yandere out of this High Elf, and in less than half a day at that. Clearly something fishy was going on her, and while Aria wanted to attribute it to her appearance—she wasn't being narcissistic mind you, she was just that beautiful—or her current status as Elemental Queen, she had a feeling it wasn't either of them, or rather it was combination and more.

'There's probably some eldritch-outerish-mesmerising passive allure or aura around me that I'm unable to sense or control with my Body Supremacy, meaning it's coming from my soul.' Aria theorised, and fortunately it didn't seem to be making Elaine or Treyni insane, though she could feel the awe, respect, excitement, hesitation and resolve(?) from Treyni.

'Hesitation cause she still has Ramiris in her heart and holds her higher than me…' Aria held her chin thoughtfully for a moment, before focusing on Elaine's Unique Skill.

[Obsessor] was unique in the way that the intensity of the Elaine's determination and fixation directly influences the effectiveness of the skill. And Aria was sure, that with the obsession Elaine had for her, this skill power would border into the territory of Ultimate Skills, like Masayuki's [Chosen One] and [Infinity Prison].

The first sub-skill [All-Consuming Passion] allows Elaine to drag her targets psyche into a mental world where she nigh-absolute control. The damage taken in the mental world equates to directly damaging the spirit, this also includes her, and the stronger the targets Will, the less damage they take.

[Persistence] was the second sub-skill, which allowed Elaine to keep regenerating as long as she is fixated on her target of obsession, which was her. The regeneration was on the level of [Infinite Regeneration], meaning she could regenerate her Spiritual Body, the Astral Body and even the Soul. The sub-skill also grants her resistance against all elements and natural effects.

[Thought Domination] was the third sub-skill, which allows the manipulation of others' thoughts and ensure they follow orders. This can range from subtle manipulation to full control over the targets.

The fourth and final one was [Master's Generousity], which allows Elaine, with permission from Aria, to borrow / use skills from her.

All in all both Fenrir and Elaine were overpowered in their own ways, and if Aria was to have a status screen for both of them, it would be something like:

****

A/N: Hope you enjoyed the chapter. I'll make an auxiliary chapter for Aria's creations and stuff. Also for the intrinsic skills of Elaine, Wind transformation was inspired by ifrits flame transformation. As for wind domination, why wouldn't a wind spirit who has become an elemental Lord not have that? Same for weather domination. As for universal sense, it just makes sense. Status might be incomplete as I'm writing this like 1am, so if it is, I'll add it in aux when I create it.

And thanks to those who wished me well, I feel better than before. The ten hour sleep with medicine helped, but still on my way to recovery.
