    Eleanora saw as a dozen of small dolls were summoned around her, the Mages pointed their staffs at her and conjured fireballs, while the Priests healed Erika, the Shields, Warriors, and Soldiers attacked Eleanora''s legs, and the Archers fired arrows from a distance at her head.


    "Damn it!"


    BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!


    Eleanora had to forcefully retreat. The Dolls were not strong individually, in fact they are very weak by themselves, but when there is a dozen, all together working as a team… well, that''s when they get dangerous.


    "Eheheheh… Hehehe!"ughed Erika, reaching up to me.


    Sheughed innocently, but there was a certain innate malice to herughter. It felt as if I was fighting a final boss that was a possessed doll… Ah, I don''t want to think that of her but she really gives such a vibe.


    CLASH!


    CLASH!


    CLASH!


    Her bare hands were enough to put a lot of damage into my arms, I felt as if some of my bones slightly cracked.


    This girl is really troublesome. I have to put her down, she''s going a bit too overboard now.


    I quickly utilized a few body-enhancement Spells such as Metabolism eleration into my body, and quickly decided to attack her.


    "Flowing Fist Technique: Palm of Destruction!"


    I intercepted her as she was dumbly attacking me while slowly losing her reasoning and hit her in her chest with a powerful palm attack.


    Palm of Destruction was a small and easy to use attack, in simple terms, it allowed me to easily unleash a damaging shockwave all over the body of someone.


    Even with your incredibly sturdy body, Erika, you''re still bound to feel some pain with this!


    CLAAASH!


    "Uaaagh…!"


    Erika was pushed away by the strong Palm of Destruction, as I managed to finally overpower her. But I wasn''t going to let her stand again, I was too tired to continue fighting, I had seen everything she had to offer for the moment.


    "Eleanora!" I said.


    I reached Eleanora and used my kicks and punches to destroy the dolls pestering her, as Eleanora rushed towards Erika and wrapped her around her Blood Threads, reinforcing them with her Aura and pushing her down into the ground.


    "Uwah…! Let me go, Eleanora! Don''t be like this…" cried Erika.


    "You''ve lost, Erika, give it up… I am tired, we can y some more after we eat something." I said.


    "Oh… Okay, you win then!" said Erika, as she used her enormous strength and just destroyed Eleanora''s Blood Threads with her arms and legs alone…


    CLASH!


    "T-This girl has really grown into something else… I think you''vemitted a mistake by teaching her how to fight… You''ve created a monster…" said Eleanora to me through telepathy.


    "But isn''t that better? So she can be strong enough to fend by herself and help in battles…" I said.


    "W-Well… Yeah…" she said.


    …


    After the fight with Erika, we decided to have a pic to rest from the training and spars, I had taken out the food my mother had given to me to share with my friends, aside from the cooled fruit juice, there were also sandwiches made with wolf meat (there is still a lot in stock, dried, that''s it) and cheese.


    Cheese is pretty expensive, even more the butter in some of the sandwiches, but thanks to all the favors I give to the people, they have given me small pieces of cheese, and sometimes a whole bar of butter, other times I get coins instead, which can also be used to buy better food.


    I''ve been singlehandedly maintaining the house using my First Aid Skill and my Savior Title Skill alongside my Healing Tier 1 Spells. It seems that I am already a popr healer for all the poor people, as I never ask for anything in exchange and people often pay me with whatever they got in hand.


    Sometimes they cannot pay me, but I don''t mind that much, as I got to use these Skills and gain more proficiency in them either way.


    Using First Aid in the kids healed them pretty easily inbination with some tier 1 healing spells, this skill is very useful, and I am rather thankful to have gotten it.


    Anyways, as we enjoyed the sandwiches and the fruit juice, the kids spoke about the fights.


    "Erika, you''re way too strong. Can we sparter?" asked Chris.


    "Sure! I can spar with you, Chris. It''s gonna be fun." Said Erika.


    I was worried. What if Chris'' mes end up burning Erika''s wooden body?


    Then again, perhaps her father had already thought about a method to make her wooden body resistant to mes.


    Nheless, it would be better if the fight didn''t urred all together, but I am afraid I would only awake suspiciousness if I tried to stop them.


    I decided to put a spell over Erika''s body without her realizing, which was named "Water Curtain", an invisible curtain of water covering her that decreased fire-attribute magic damage.


    It wasn''t much but it should work, and she didn''t realized it because she was fixated into devouring the sandwich in front of her.


    She is able to eat through special magical methods in her body, it appears that all the food she digests is turned into pure magical energy, I don''t even know if the concept of going to the bathroom is there for her… nor I want to know.


    It is rather frightening the level of detail that her father had crafted her body with sometimes, so it is better to not delve too deep into the intricate processes inside of her doll body.


    "You two are really the battle junkies of the group… Don''t break each other legs while fighting though… Okay? I am already getting worried sick of all the crazy stuff Chris does." Sighed Eric.


    "Okay, don''t worry, Eric, I''ll go easy on him!"ughed Erika.


    "Hm, I wonder how true is that statement…" I said.


    Erika was getting more and more crazy with her fighting methods; I was growing worried about this… but there isn''t much I can do over it other than guiding her.
