Chapter 103: Hurt Pride
"Isn't that a Kyuubi?!!" In the middle of the crater sat a nine-tailed fox. Ed knew very well how dangerous this type of monster is. It was very famous thanks to an ani back on Earth. However, this fox was different. It had a yellow fur and its nine-tails were not very long. The top of its mouth was white in color, as well as the top of its ears. When it noticed Ed, it released a killing intent that made him get serious in an instant. Ed knew this fight wasn't going to be as easy.
"System what is its rank?" From the killing intent alone, Ed knew that the monster in front of him wasn't normal.
[Legendary] The system confird Ed's thoughts. Ed scanned the fox and its cultivation was Earth Establishnt level 7. 'That's quite the jump' Ed withdrew all three of his swords and got ready. Raikou stood next to him and got ready as well. He looked more tense than usual. Ed didn't summon Suika and the others. This fight wasn't sothing that they could handle. The difference between them wasn't sothing they could cover with abilities alone.
Ed and Raikou rushed at the monster, while it did the sa. Ed took the initiative by teleporting behind it and slashing. However, he was surprised to see that it stopped one of his swords by its tail. He was even more surprised since it was able to detect him. Ed swung once more but he was stopped again. Although its tails weren't long, it was in comparison to its size. The Kyuubi was even bigger than Raikou, so its tails were all at least one ter long.
Ed kept trying to injure it, but he was stopped every ti. Seemingly bored, the Kyuubi, who was fighting both Raikou and Ed at the sa ti, released its magic. Ed noticed that one of its tail tips burned with blue flas as it struck the ground. The already hot atmosphere turned hotter. Ed and Raikou backed away quickly and saw that a circle around the Kyuubi was burning. Had they stayed at their positions, they would be severely burned.
"Raikou, the opponent this ti is very tricky. You can go all out" The exchange right now was a way for both parties to size up each other. 'By the way, system. Isn't the jump in difficulty too much? The fourth floor, although confusing, was much simpler than this floor'. Ed had his doubts about the boss this ti.
[The monsters' cultivation stays the sa every ti they respawn, but not their rarity. You're simply too unlucky to et a Legendary monster.]
Ed didn't too deeply into it. He and Raikou activated Ken, while the monster seed as if it was enhancing itself sohow. 'It's probably using its QI as a doping' Ed guessed while activating his Mangekyo Sharingan. He wasn't going easy in this fight at all. Ed took the initiative this ti, but not by using space magic. Instead, he used Shunpo with Ken giving him unprecedented speed. This ti he attacked the Kyuubi from the front.
The Kyuubi was able to react to Ed once more and blocked his attack. This ti, however, Ed kept using Shunpo is succession. Allowing him to 'split up' and attack from multiple directions. As expected, the Kyuubi was having a hard ti following his movents. It had to go into a defensive mode in order to stay safe. Being occupied with Ed, it didn't notice Raikou charging towards it. Raikou ramd the Kyuubi with lightning magic clad.
Raikou's attack was very effective since it could stun the Kyuubi. This gave Ed the chance to attack it. "Oni Giri" Ed slashed with his three swords simultaneously. He enhanced his swords with Shu giving them extra slashing power. Three injuries appeared on the Kyuubi's body, but Ed knew that they weren't serious injuries. However, they were just enough to piss off the Kyuubi.
"Grrrr!" It bared its fangs at both Ed and Raikou, and its nine-tails spread out like a fan. Each one of the tails' tips had a blue fla on it. "Raikou get into my shadow!" Ed didn't know what it was going to do, but he knew a big attack was coming. Right after Raikou disappeared, a burst of fla surrounded the area. It seed like a bomb had just exploded in this place. Ed activated his Ken and used Ryu to greatly enhance his legs. He also Shunpo and Spectral Shadow Steps. He was running at maximum speed, yet he could barely outrun the flas. If a wall were to appear in front of Ed right now, the slight delay in hitting it would cause the flas to catch up to him.
After a few seconds, the flas finally stopped. Ed was hundreds and hundreds of ters away from the Kyuubi's location. When he got back there, he noticed that the crater's size grew. 'So the original crater was its doing'. Ed could understand why the group from earlier wasn't a match for this monster. It was simply too powerful. "Well, nothing we can't handle" Ed joked around as Raikou left his shadow. Raikou didn't look tense this ti; instead, he seed as if his pride was hurt. Both of them were Legendary monsters, but Raikou had to rely on Ed to run away.
Raikou took the charge this ti and clashed with the Kyuubi. He was using both Lightning and Fire magic. Any Fireball that hit the Kyuubi would be followed by a lightning strike. Raikou was using his maximum potential, and he was overpowering the Kyuubi. It seed like his pride being hurt gave him an increase in power. "Grrrrowl!" Raikou was the one who growled this ti. Multiple 'hands' ca out of its shadow and surrounded the Kyuubi. The latter seed surprised as it didn't expect this to happen. Raikou finally used its race characteristic after such a long ti.
With the Kyuubi being bound, Raikou let out a lightning discharge. It was similar to the one he used on the Vermillion Eagles. But, this ti it couldn't be compared to before. The effect area was much smaller compared to the Kyuubi's skill, but its density was higher. If soone were to see it from afar, they would only be able to describe it as such "A pillar of light from heaven".
The fifth floor's sky was covered by ash, making it seem like it was always night. But Raikou's skill lit up the entire floor. Ed could only look in astonishnt. After the skill receded, the Kyuubi erged still alive but badly injured. It seed almost unable to stand on its two feet. Ed didn't move in to finish it since it was Raikou who did most of the damage. Raikou stood in front of the Kyuubi as if telling it such is the fate of the weak, and in a swift motion, he snapped its neck, killing it.
"Good job" Ed gave a thumbs up to Raikou as they were being teleported to the next floor. Ed quickly stored the Kyuubi's body before he was fully teleported.
