Facing the unexpected situation of seeing not her most powerful but a strong, quick and precise attack being stopped so easily, Selphira decided to increase the power she invested.
If that initial force wasn't sufficient then she'd escalate until finding the level needed for surpassing the resistance Orion was opposing.
She channeled more mana through her spear. The energy intensification making the weapon glow with increased brightness as the energy compressed into a structure already operating near its containment limits.
Ice was beginning to sublime at the edges where the mana concentration became too intense for any material to maintain a solid state.
And she pushed harder.
An application of insane force increasing as her fusion permitted the matriarch to access muscle capabilities normally blocked behind limiters preventing self-damage through overexertion.
Even her now merged body with the muscles and bone of her Genbu wasn't meant to operate at these levels.
