The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 329 - Aren't You Ashamed?



While Minos lay on the ground, Emlyn ran toward him, sending out several blades of air.

Swooish!

​​

She ran in circles around where he was standing, making vertical slashing gestures with her remaining front paw.

In doing so, the big fox would stand on its two hind legs, make a move and then jump forward, running again until it made a move again.

That was the way she could send out long-range blows since her other front leg had been lost. So, that's why she needed to do this whole process to send her long-range attacks.

But that wasn't the only way a Nine-tailed Fox could fight!

Of course, she could use her tails, which were as tough as medium-level grade-2 weapons at this point that Emlyn is at level 51. But, on the other hand, the agility and dexterity beyond usually allowed beasts like her to move almost as best as possible.

It was as if they already knew their opponents intimately, even with those they'd just met. The analytical capacity of this breed was very high, placing them among the best ranked, below the 10th stage of cultivation.

Anyway, there were other possibilities, too, such as using their sharp fangs and other unique characteristics of these beings. However, this involved direct contact with her opponent, and Emlyn had promised Minos not to do that.

Previously she had only attacked him because he had gotten too close to her. After all, even if she wasn't going to use her physical superiority directly against Minos, that didn't mean she would let him attack her!

That's why Emlyn had warded him off earlier, delivering a slightly weaker blow by using her tails.

And seeing that Kyla's mother wouldn't give him rest until the fight was over, Minos promptly got to his feet, taking a great leap backward.

Upon doing so, immediately, the black ring spinning in the sky suddenly disappeared as Minos began his movement.

He was getting almost no gain from the Devouring Art, so he had decided to save his strength by focusing everything on the other techniques.

He quickly activated the Explosive Steps while running at full speed to get closer to Emlyn. It was no use for him to try to maintain a long-range fight with that fox, as he was at a huge disadvantage here.

Spatial Sword!

Indestructible Body!

And in doing so, within seconds, Minos was approaching Emlyn again when he released several blades of air towards her, trying to gain some space.

Clang!

At the same time, Emlyn used her six tails to protect her body from Minos' attack while watching him closely. 'It won't work...' She thought.

And as she defended herself, the young Stuart approached his opponent even more when he finally kicked Emlyn's front paw with all his might.

Pow!

However, even if it made her unbalance a little, the ending hadn't been favorable for Minos. As she lost her balance, Emlyn had used her weight to fall toward Minos while a single one of her paws wrapped around one of his feet.

...

At this moment, Kyla, who was from afar seeing everything, finally started to approach those two, seeing her mother pressing the small human body over her big body.

It was a funny scene to watch from where Kyla was standing. She could see her mother sitting on the floor with her head down, while a human head with brown hair could be seen through Emlyn's white fur.

'My mother used to make me sleep like that…' She recalled as she ran to that spot.

...

At the same time, as Kyla ran to the place where the two were, Minos finally realized what had happened. Emlyn's body had crushed him, but he didn't feel bad or anything like that. After all, she had just done it to arrest him.

In fact, what Minos could feel was Emlyn's incredibly soft fur, warm as if it were the ideal place to fall asleep.

'Ahh, it wasn't such a bad ending…' He pondered at the same time as he hugged the fur on Emlyn's neck.

Minos was entirely out of energy and quite tired at this point.

However, in that fight, he had gained good experience in fighting someone so strong. Considering Emlyn's physical strength, it would be tough for him to compete with this fox, even if she was limiting her strength.

After all, while Emlyn limited the power of her attacks, her body couldn't be 'liberated' from the characteristics present in the body of any 6th stage cultivation being. Even more, a spiritual beast, which had almost all its potential, turned to the fleshy body!

Because of that, even though the attacks Kyla's mother had sent him were only a little stronger than Jamie's, it was enough to make Minos a lot of trouble.

While Jamie had to worry about Minos' attacks hurting him, Emlyn didn't have to. For her, using her tails was enough to protect her vital regions, even from this young man's most potent attacks.

Because of that, this had been a completely different fight than Minos had had with that other individual from the 6th stage of cultivation!

On the other hand, even though Minos had lost, he felt that this was not quite as bad a defeat as the one he had suffered for Ruth the first time the two had fought.

Back then, the difference in strength between Minos and Ruth wasn't all that different from the difference between him and Emlyn now. However, previously he had been practically beaten by that young woman, barely having a chance to counterattack.

But this was also expected. The main difference here could be the presence of one more technique in Minos' repertoire. After all, this could make quite a difference in human fights.

Previously, if Minos had a movement technique, he probably would have had a much easier time with Ruth. That is, he could have avoided many of that young woman's blows, as he had done against Emlyn today.

Anyway, sensing that Minos seemed to be enjoying her fur, Emlyn lowered her big head to see the small body of the young Stuart and then said. "In my clan of the Nine-tailed Foxes, only cubs stay that way with their mothers. Aren't you ashamed to do this?"

"Of course not. After all, I'm not a Nine-tailed Fox." He said with a smile on his face as he looked in the direction Kyla was running. "Hehe, not to mention that you were the one who threw yourself at me. What could I do?"

At the same time he finished speaking, Kyla squeezed under her mother, gleefully barking as she joined the 'hug' of Minos and Emlyn.

"Au! Au! Au!"

After joining Minos and Emlyn, Kyla wrapped herself around the young Stuart while taking advantage of this situation to play with the two. Even though she already had an adult body, she still enjoyed playing a lot.

Her mental age wasn't long after all...

And after licking the young Stuart's face and standing around wrapped in her mother's warmth, the big fox soon got up, giving Minos room to get out of there.

They had just fought, and her 'poor' opponent needed to recover. Minos had to cultivate for a few minutes to return to his peak state, and then he would still take a shower before finally returning to the Dry City mansion.

She then looked at the young man who had some scratches around his chest and shoulders and said. "We'll try to do that when you get to level 45. I believe you'll get there before I get my next advance."

"Hmm, I probably won't come close to beating you before then..." He nodded as he walked through that Spatial Kingdom forest.

...

Quickly time passed, and Minos had finally returned to the Dry City, where the sun gradually rose over the horizon.
