"—This is exactly the same effect you described? It can't just be simple magical elementalization, can it?"
Lu Xiu looked at the arc of electricity in Viola's hand, regarding her with some suspicion.
—After all, discussing supernatural skills with a dungeon character already felt rather strange. Combined with the fact that this NPC's dungeon had a magic setting, it felt even stranger.
"This isn't simple elemental magic."
Viola dispersed the arcs of electricity coiling around her arm and shook her head. "I just tried to imitate how your skill flowed. Though it wasn't entirely accurate, it definitely wasn't simple magical elementalization.
"Sorry, but it looks about the same to me."
"They're very different—the way they operate is different."
At that moment.
Ellen beside them spoke up as well. "This belongs to the power of the flesh."
As she spoke.
The little Witch sized Lu Xiu up. Looking at Lu Xiu's slender, graceful figure, her expression grew rather strange. "Although—you don't look anything like a martial artist, strangely enough, your body is incredibly strong. Strong to a completely unreasonable degree."
"So when you activated your skill just now, that power really was squeezed out of your body, rather than borrowing elements from the outside world like us spellcasters do."
"Wait a minute."
Hearing that, Lu Xiu raised her fair hand. "Even if my body is strong, can attributes like thunder and fire really be produced through the body alone?"
"They can, as long as you can break through the limit."
Viola continued, "When a mortal body has been strengthened to some unimaginable extreme, it can itself trigger a qualitative transformation.
"In our world, the surging blood and vitality of warriors can ignite the fire of martial arts. It can even leave the body and become tangible elements."
"That explanation works too?"
