22 Princess of Destruction

Ai kicked her feet as her legs dangled off the side of Hoat'l's massive backpack. She couldn't help but giggle at the situation that brought her here.

'Oi, lass! What d'ya think yer doin'!?' He had complained as Ai leaped up on top of the large backpack. 'Fufufu~ well you're trying to get with my big sis, right? What better way than to get into her precious little sister's good graces, ah?'

Hoat'l was groaning in annoyance but sucked it up since Ai had a point. Ai could only smirk at that. 'Men are so easily manipulated, they've got two heads and only enough sense to run one at a time, and this dwarf wasn't thinking with the head on his neck. Fufufu~'

Closing her eyes, Ai entered the void of her Domain and decided to try some things out, she wanted to see if she could better visualize her creation magic here, especially since visualizing in the domain would be the closest to actually seeing her imagination at work.

She conjured up the image of her leather set and the sewing set, specifically the leatherworking hook and string. She visualized the obvious rabbit patterns out of the patchwork dress, smoothing it out into a more uniform layer. Visualizing the tears being mended, she sent the hook and thread through the torn patches, then solidified them as well. When she was finished, the outfit looked smooth and sturdy.

Happy with the finished project, she visualized casting the final project when a notification suddenly popped up in her peripheral.

[Skill Unlocked: Prepare Spell]

Opening her system, she couldn't help but grin wide as the information displayed in front of her was potentially game-changing.

[Prepare Spell] Domain Cast | Casting speed dependant on spell cast

Effect: Caster can prepare one spell within the caster's Domain to cast at a later time, only one spell can be prepared at a time. Mana is used within the Domain, so no mana is used when cast outside of the Domain.

Releasing the prepared creation spell, repairing her leather outfit, Ai decided to immediately put a theory to the test. She conjured five circles in her hand, slowly fusing them together, she watched with joy as her mana quickly regenerated.

'That's one theory confirmed.' She thought, realizing that, on top of her high mana regen due to her stacking passives, her mana regeneration was also tripled as meditation within her domain also counted towards [Sloth].

'Let's try a few more.' She stacked the sixth circle, then the seventh, eighth, and ninth. When she tried to stack a tenth, the formation grew unstable, threatening to explode, killing her mind outright.

She quickly dispelled the tenth circle. 'Alright, so nine is the limit, now let's try to make this thing.' She focused on everything she had, constantly shattering the individual missiles and restructuring them, after what seemed like an entire hour had passed, she felt she was barely making progress.

'Alright, it's a big spell, think bigger.' She enlarged the area she worked with and thinned out the splintered mana spear, growing it to massive proportions until it was large and unwieldy.

'Not that I have to actually hold this thing, I'm getting closer.' She zoomed in on each segment of the massive weapon, smoothing it out into a massive spear. Finally, she zoomed away, looking over her masterpiece. She had a shit-eating grin as a couple of notifications appeared.

[Spell Modified: Magic Missile: Magic Ballistae]

[Spell Prepared: Magic Ballistae]

She had to test this out, now. Ai opened her eyes to the real world and jumped off of Hoat'l's backpack with enough force to make him fall on his ass. "Oi! What'r ya doin' Ai!?"

Landing a few feet from Hoat'l, Ai maintained her shit-eating grin. "Got a game-changer and this princess wants to try it out." She didn't even care that she said that out loud.

Ai summoned the massive spear that eclipsed her tiny body. It was easily several dozens of meters in length, shining like a beacon of vibrant blue death.

"Holy shit sis, what the hell is that!?" Amari shouted out in surprise from the sudden shock of seeing the massive mana spear appear out of nowhere.

Ai ignored her sister and shot out her senses, her amber eyes scanning the environment dozens of meters away. When she finally locked onto a bear sleeping in a nearby cave, she hurled the ballistae as it shot out towards the bear, completely unaware that it was about to be completely erased from existence.

*VRRRRMMM*

The ballistae shot off at speeds faster than even Amari could track.

*VRRRRBOOOOM*

[Congratulations! You've reached Level 4!]

A massive explosion reduced the entire mass of land to a smoldering crater. With the group just barely outside of the blast radius, all three of them were knocked on their asses. A massive crater the size of a large city appeared in front of them as Hoat'l and Amari's jaws dropped as Ai sat up, her hair blown back, staring at the crater with a sadistic grin.

Hoat'l and Amari exchanged glances, no words were needed for their conversation. 'You're sister is fucking insane.' Hoat'l would think. 'I know.' Amari would know what he thought and respond in kind.

-------------------------------------------------

Running a hand over her shredded dress, Ai used [Creation] to mend it back to its previous form. She skipped excitedly back towards Hoat'l with a cute but scary grin, causing him to flinch, before she leaped back onto the backpack. Hoat'l wouldn't even attempt to complain, her display of power far outmatched most people even at level 20.

Amari simply gave Hoat'l a look of pity as she brushed off the insane amount of dirt that covered her body. She couldn't even say anything, she was impressed. If she was hit by that attack, that would've been it for her.

She was only glad that she made up with her little sister when she did. Only one thing came to mind when she thought of a title for her adorable, but deadly, little sister. 'Princess of Destruction.'

Hoat'l stood up and only dusted off his top half, he wouldn't dare bend over to dust off the rest of himself, he didn't want to annoy the demoness on his back.

Not even a week into their expedition and Ai had already done something as significant as forcing a change to world maps. Ai wondered what explorers and cartographers would call this place, she hoped that it would get a cool sounding name.

Kicking her feet as her legs dangled from the side of Hoat'l's backpack, Ai, hummed happily as she checked her status.
