I'm the Mother of the Heroine? (Book 1)

Chapter 17

Lily Clairmount:

Sweat steadily dripped down my body as I pushed it to the limits in endurance. I was on my fifteenth Magical Beast. This one was a monstrous sized millipede with sharp steeled pincers and fangs filled with potent venom. All of it's legs were similar to needles and oozed purple fluid which was also a type of poison. 

Underneath it's body the ground had already begun to rot and wither from where the fluid dripped. Nature Essence had begun to lighten in the area surrounding us because of this beast. 

"I really didn't like you guys back in my world and that was when you were barely the size of a finger," I shouted as I narrowly avoided it's sharp pincers. 

One of the main differences that set it apart was the curled scorpion tail at the back. These specific Magical Beasts were called a Scorpede. Rather original.. Whoever thought that one up was just plain lazy. 

Venom spat at me but I made sure to erect a wall of my water element as I used the force from the collision in order to escape the danger zone. 

Can't get close to it due to poison. Can't break through it's exoskeleton because of it's defense being stronger than my 7 Star Stage. Think, think, think. What should I do? I won't give up because there's always a way. 

Avoiding the attacks the Scorpede sent my way, I continued observing trying to find the weakness. Well, previously I'd only used my new Marking that one time out of the fifteen others I'd killed. Fourteen Magical Beast cores were currently stored away in a miniature pocket dimension I created within my first star. 

Each Star contains the magic I acquired for each Stage so building a pocket dimension inside of one is rather easy as long as you know how. After tampering with my elements I had realized you don't necessarily need Space magic in order to create them. Having the four elements work just as well. I'm not a scientist so I can't pinpoint why but my guess is from observing the fact that this planet is made up these elements and had created a space. 

I could be wrong but since it worked I wasn't going to question how it came about. I'd finally figured out how to kill the Magical Beast harassing me though. If my four elements could create a space what would happen if I shoved it through the Scorpede's pincers, into its throat? Would it be the opposite of creation and instead be destruction? In a sense: Dimension/Planet is created and then Hypernova/Explosion takes place. 

Well, I won't know until I tried. 

My soul weapon fell into my hand as I used my other to begun building up the four elements. Feeling the magic rush through me was a heady feeling. Made anyone feel drunk on power. No time to pay attention and bask in it though because the Scorpede seemed to be getting more pissed off. It had begun using it's stinger. 

The stinger slammed into the place I had been standing in previously but I was concentrating on the magic forming above my palm. At first it had started off looking similar to a cloud but all four had begun to pull together and condense into a solid ball. 

The power radiating from it had actually tore my skin above my palm and made me bleed. Shocking me silly. 

No time like the present since the Scorpede had realized I was closer to it's head and decided to use it's pincers again. Before I could think about it, I'd thrown the mass of magic towards its opened mouth. 

As soon as the magic left my palm I felt the pull on my magic as if it were tethered to me. Once I realized the Magical Beast had swallowed the ball I broke the connection. Which had a bad reaction. I'd not even thought about it properly because if I had, I'd have run away before the magic exploded inside of the beasty. 

To my utter dismay the upper body of the Scorpede completely exploded. I only had enough time to throw up a strong barrier of Earth, wrapping the roots and grass beneath my feet around myself. Body parts had pushed my cocoon sliding but I was fine otherwise. Unfortunately the plants were destroyed by none other than the poison which I'd been afraid of hitting me when it had exploded. 

Looking over, I couldn't help being disappointed. 

"All that work and I ended up damaging the Magical Core."

A/N: Honestly, I can't see how much I've written. This just popped in my head because of lack of sleep. Hope you enjoy. :)
