Refusing My God’s Advances

The air in the Crystal Cavern felt charged, a palpable tension filling the space as we prepared for the confrontation ahead. The Abyssant Voidling, with its mastery over gravity magic, awaited us. Yet, the atmosphere among us was not one of apprehension but of determination. With my four epic-rated golems by my side, each bolstered by a significant boost from my stats, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement about the impending battle.

Dressed in my Super Fan Mascot outfit, despite its embarrassing appearance, I knew it would provide a crucial boost to the golems. The outfit, a cartoon version of myself with images of each golem, seemed almost alive, their energies pulsating through the fabric. As I brandished my Super Fan Foam Finger, a symbol of my support and confidence in their abilities, I could see the determination in their eyes.

"Let's do this," I declared and then dashed into the cave, but then I lost control of my body as the other girls spread out.

The Abyssant Voidling seemed drawn to me, towering and menacing with its aura of dark gravity magic. I found myself involuntarily launching into a dance routine, courtesy of the Super Fan Mascot outfit, dancing my way over to meet the beast. The routine was an unexpected blend of energetic hops, spins, and moonwalks, each move perfectly timed to evade the Voidling's gravity-based assaults. My body moved with an agility I didn't know it possessed, dodging dark energy blasts and gravitational pulls with a comedic flair that seemed to mock the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, my golems sprang into action with coordinated precision. Scarlet, wielding her dual pistols June and Dawn, unleashed a volley of fire and light shots, each bullet a beacon of destruction aimed with the finesse of a seasoned pirate. Her movements were a dance of their own, a deadly ballet that complemented the rhythm of my mascot dance.

Lila, her body glowing with a radiant green aura, moved like a blur, delivering rapid strikes that blended fire and holy damage. Each hit was precise, powerful, and infused with the essence of her martial arts prowess, her rabbit-like agility allowing her to leap and strike from angles that seemed impossible.

Cynthia, with her enhanced control over ice and fire, summoned a Glacial Dragon that roared into existence with a chilling blaze. The dragon unleashed a breath of frostfire, a swirling tempest of ice and flame that engulfed the Voidling, its dual nature wreaking havoc on the creature's form.

Isilda, her mastery over time and ice at the forefront, cast a Temporal Frost Freeze, encasing the Voidling in a moment of stilled time surrounded by a creeping frost. This not only immobilized the creature but also amplified the damage dealt by her sister.

As the dance continued, my movements inadvertently taunted the Abyssant Voidling, drawing its focus and leaving it vulnerable to the relentless onslaught of my golems. The mascot dance, while ludicrous to behold, was a masterclass in evasion and distraction, allowing my team to exploit every opening with their unique and powerful abilities.

The battle was a spectacle of magic, technology, and sheer physical prowess, underscored by the bizarre sight of a mascot dance that somehow turned the tide. The Abyssant Voidling, overwhelmed by the coordinated attack and confused by my inexplicable dance moves, faltered under the combined might of fire, light, frost, holy energy, and the strategic manipulation of time.

Seizing this moment, Scarlet jumped back, switching her weapons to her Sun Shooter. She lined up the shot, and a ball of red and orange energy like the sun formed at the end of the rifle. The moment Scarlet fired, the ball of energy shrunk in an instant as it shot forward in a thin line.

Time slowed as the beast tried to move, but I slapped it with my Super Fan Foam Finger. The Abyssant Voidling was forced to turn back, but the shot tore through the creature. Even though the burning hole was small, my body jumped back for some reason with great speed.

At the same time, the tiny burning hole no more than half an inch wide, spread out instantly with an air-vibrating hum. The Abyssant Voidling was almost completely disintegrated, leaving nothing more than the smoke's leg stumps that all fell over in different directions.

"Woah!" I said as my mascot outfit vanished, but then Scarlet jumped up to hug me, smoothing me in her breasts.

"What did you think?! I didn't know how much power to use, but with all the boosts, I really wanted to test out this weapon!" Scarlet exclaimed, and I hugged her back because breathing was for the weak and overrated.

In truth, I was completely stunned by the Sun Shooter. June and Dawn were pretty wild, but now I wondered what that Lunar Striker skill would have been like? Maybe there was a chance that I could pick from one of those skills again if I kept feeding Scarlet souls.

"You all did great, but this is no time for celebrations yet. The eighth cave is next," I said and then looked at Lila. "I am going to need all of you fighting, including you, Lila. I know you are scared of rats, but I am going to need you to push those fears aside. I have to put this stupid suit on after all, and dance around like an idiot, even though I don't want to," I explained, and Lila nodded.

"I know, and I will fight. I feel much stronger now, even after this fight," Lila said, flexing her arm rabbit ears somehow.

I shook my head and then opened my stats with a frown. I had gained quite the jump from this last battle, along with a bunch more stat points that I divided up, giving me some wild-looking stats. Even for my level, my stats had nearly reached halfway to what Daryle's had been.

Level: 153
Physical Power: 8550
Magical Power: 10100 (+30 from Cursed Grimoire)
Agility: 8340
Technical Knowledge: 9580
Arcane Insight: 8970 (+30 from Cursed Grimoire)
Resilience: 8890

I mean, I was the hero and all, but this was wild. No wonder Lila felt stronger. My stats were giving them all more than a 2000-point boost in each area. This next room was going to be pretty easy, and if I could get all the girls in on the fighting, I was in for another big level boost!
