In this space there was light which meant there was shade and darkness that could be manipulated. This caused Yana to practice her magics in the hopes of increasing levels.
As the light continued to rush to her in intervals she used shade create. At first she thought it brought Shadow from darkness but there needed to be some sort of light. Which she found crazy since she had an odd relationship with light. But now she knew that she could pull darkness to her when there was any type of light around her. And she could sense light around her for over a thousand kilometer. And with in this same area she could create or call Shadow.
She could create Shadow from pools of darkness that sat at the conjunction of two objects. In normal spaces this could be considered shadows but in void and shadow spaces the darkness is not shadow it is just pooling darkness and shadows, whether they are: inert, sentient, non-sentient and more sense these pools of darkness and gravitate toward them.
The odd thing about this void was that Yana could only call two shadows. So either Pa Void had no shadows or all the shadows were sentient powerful shadows. She hoped it was the former and not the latter.
She used (Shadow Step) and continued to move everyone along her discerned path. Then she frowned as she sensed movement. They weren't void beasts and she sensed that they were dangerous. She stopped and allowed everyone to fall into their normal positions.
She pursed her lips as her shadow scythe materialized in her hand. She felt she needed to weave a spell but she couldn't think of any that would be of use.
"You no longer have your barriers?"
Barrier? Was that from spell weave? Yes. She grimaced. How affective would a level one barrier be. She made a decision and began weaving. Strands of gold, purple, black, and turquoise flowed from her. The came together and began to weave intricate patterns. She sensed that there were gaps but that the barrier was strong so she cast it around them and immediately began working on a second.
By the time she got the fifth she was sweating profusely and her arms and legs were trembling with exhaustion. Still she worked on a sixth and when she threw that onto the barrier, making a six layered barrier she called shadows to her and then manipulated them into supporting her tired body. All of this took less than two minutes and still it had taken too long.
The closer the creatures got the more sure she was that they were demons.
"DD?"
"They are Shadow demons and soul demons. I think they sense us but they must have been fighting each other first."
"Good. Hopefully that increases our chances." Amber crouched down and began transforming into a tall muscular feline creature. She was an abandoned shadow cat that became infected by an enemy shadowwere bite. Yana had helped her to control the extreme anger and the transformations that occurred due to extreme emotion. Now she transformed when she wanted and because she was a Shadow cat she took on a feline appearance instead of a canine one.
Coarse golden hairs bristled all over her body and her cat ears thickened and two tufts of black fur grew from them.
Alisha began to shift as well and she stood tall above them. Twelve octopus like tentacles grew from her shoulders and her neck and head shrunk down into the body. She became a many hand fiend and as the demons came into view she did not wait and walked through the barriers to get to them.
Because she did this the demons thought the barriers didn't work so those that got passed Alisha's hands hit the barrier full force, were stunned and then picked off by the others.
Every time a non group member hit the barrier Yana felt it and threw power into the barrier. The manipulated shadows controlled her body and her scythe continued to fall on demon after demon and she began manipulating or calling more and more shadows. Some she even created into weapons, shields, and even more protection for her from light.
You have used Shadow call one hundred times:
Shadow call has increased.
You have used Shadow Manipulate one hundred times:
Shadow Manipulate has increased
She was too tired to really understand what the system was telling her but she knew it said something and she hoped it was not the twenty minute warning alarm for her task.
Her body spun and she cut down a demon that was just about to dig its claws into Tasha. She spun her scythe above her head and stepped forward to help DD. All of her movements were due to the manipulated shadows she controlled because her body had already moved past exhaustion a long time ago.
Suddenly the two demon clans began to attack each other as if they decided Yana and her group were a bit too powerful. The change was so sudden that they were almost eradicated by Yana's familiars and pets. They only stopped when she fell to the ground to rest, her barriers never wavering.
Your barriers held successfully against an enemy:
Barrier spell upgrade
She felt as a new spell melded with her spell weave knowledge and wanted to cry because it was not enough to level up spell weave.
As she sat on the ground trying to get her bearings the system lit up in her mind again and she actually groaned out loud.
Task warning alarm

You have twenty minutes until day three of your task ends.
Okay! Okay! Now she knew for sure that this was a rigged system. 'System are you truly trying to kill me? There is no way the day is already over.'
'By my internal logs you have nineteen minutes left until the end of day three.'
'Then your internal logs are fucked!'

Punishment:
Task Day failure punishment will doubled.
Yana looked at the words stunned then her mind went blank and then her entire body went numb. She didn't speak internally or outwardly. And then the pain hit her. Had she really laid there for twenty minutes? It didn't matter. She would endure this and figure out a way to get this system out of her.
It was not going to run her life and have her at its mercy forever. The pain stopped and the words of the cursed system lit up before her eyes.

She laid on the ground reading the messages. Was that why it was so painful. Her soul Depth was increasing and this time it went up two levels. And her void soul was not an appropriate level?
She would've scratched her head in confusion if her entire body was not wracked in pain.
"Are you okay? Your soul energy just had a tremendous spike."
"Don't tell me that system of yours claimed that the day was over again?"
"Is that possible?!"
"Her soul only spiked incrementally but this time it jumped two levels."
"She got punished?"
"She got punished."
"Did you get punished?"
She knew they were all talking but she didn't know what they were talking about. Her brain was just as numb as the rest of her body.
"I need sleep. My soul is at an acceptable level now and I feel I can sleep two hours and be okay. Please wake me in two hours Starlight."
"I will."
Yana didn't hear the response because she was asleep after her last statement.
