Capítulo 119: Battle Essence
Dante materialized from the shadows, accompanied by the mischievous Rollie Pollie twins, Trixie and Pixie. The small, round creatures leaped from Dante's arms and rolled around Lyra, their eyes sparkling with curiosity. "So, you're Master Dante's latest interest?" they asked in unison, their voices filled with excitement.
Dante, noticing Lyra's discomfort, silenced the twins with a firm "Enough." The twin designers immediately straightened up, ready to get to work.
"Alright, Lyra," Pixie said, rubbing her hands together, "we're going to make you look fabulous!"
Trixie chimed in, "Let's get started! We'll have you looking like a true Nightfall VIP in no time!"
The twins activated their essence techniques, and a long, magical rope emerged from their hands. It wrapped itself around Lyra, taking precise measurements of her body. At the same time, Trixie's essence technique summoned a tool to spin fabric out of thin air, ready to create Lyra's new outfit.
As they worked, Pixie struck up a conversation. "So, tell us about your essence technique. How does it fare in battle?"
Lyra shrugged, "I'm not really a battle essence user. I can just sense things, I guess."
The twins exchanged curious glances. "What do you call it?"
"My teacher called it Empath," Lyra replied, feeling a bit self-conscious.
Pixie nodded, "Okay, that's pretty cool. So, I guess you don't need any fancy battle armor, huh?"
Lyra's eyes widened, a spark of excitement igniting within her. "Actually, that would be amazing! I've always wanted something like that."
Dante interjected, his voice filled with admiration, "Lyra is a highly capable battle sorceress who uses her essence to analyze and attack her opponents. She needs something that allows her to move with elegance and grace while providing easy access to her vials, potions, and tools."
The twins nodded in agreement, impressed by Dante's deep understanding of Lyra's abilities.
Dante continued, his brow furrowed in thought, "But Lyra, an empath-like essence ability is usually associated with understanding emotions. How does that explain your impressive display of essence techniques, like what you did to my sister Sofia at Nachtschatten?"
Lyra pondered for a moment before responding, "It's true that when I focus, I can see more than just emotions. I can sense how things are moving and vibrating, almost like I can feel the essence flowing through everything around me."
Dante's eyes lit up with realization. "I think your ability allows you to sense things around you on a much deeper level than most. It's quite common for essence techniques to evolve and grow stronger over time. I believe a better name for your ability would be Omnipath – a truly powerful sensing essence technique that goes beyond empathy."
Lyra considered this and ultimately agreed to rename her ability from Empath to Omnipath, feeling a sense of pride and excitement at the prospect of her powers evolving.
The twins continued their work, their magical tools weaving and shaping fabric around Lyra. They chattered excitedly, discussing the various features and embellishments they could add to her battle armor.
"Oh, we could add a hidden compartment for your potions!" Trixie exclaimed.
"And we'll make sure the fabric is lightweight and breathable, so you can move freely during combat," Pixie added.
As the twins worked their magic, Lyra couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and unease. On one hand, the idea of having custom battle armor was thrilling – it would undoubtedly come in handy during her missions with the resistance. But on the other hand, she couldn't shake the feeling that accepting this gift from Dante was a step towards being further entangled in the world of the Nightfall Mafia.
Dante, sensing Lyra's hesitation, placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Lyra, I know this is all a lot to take in. But please know that I'm here to support you in any way I can. This armor is a gift, a token of my faith in your abilities and my commitment to helping you achieve your goals."
Lyra looked up at Dante, her heart torn between gratitude and uncertainty. She knew that Dante's intentions were genuine, but the weight of her responsibilities to the resistance and the memory of her parents' fate still hung heavy on her shoulders.
As the twins finished their work and presented Lyra with her new battle armor, she couldn't help but gasp in awe. The armor was stunning – a sleek, black bodice with intricate silver detailing, paired with flexible, lightweight pants and boots. The armor was adorned with strategically placed pockets and compartments, perfect for storing her various alchemical tools and potions.
Lyra ran her fingers over the smooth fabric, marveling at the craftsmanship. She knew that wearing this armor would not only provide her with protection but also serve as a symbol of her growing power and influence within the world of Nocturnia.
With a deep breath, Lyra turned to Dante and the twins, a determined glint in her eye. "Thank you for this incredible gift. I promise to use it wisely and to continue fighting for what I believe in, no matter the obstacles that may come my way."
Dante smiled, his eyes filled with pride and admiration. "I have no doubt that you will, Lyra. You are a true force to be reckoned with, and I am honored to have you by my side in this fight."
