Chapter 130 130: Butterfly In The Spider's Web
Despite having a massive body, the dragon was able to move quickly because of its level and numbers. But the fox is faster and swifter than the dragon, evading each of its devastating swings of its claws.
Now that the fight has come to a close combat, the silver fox activated some of her Martial Art techniques to enhance her close-quarter capabilities.
Though Raphael repaired her injuries, her mana wasn't included in the package. She has to conserve and restore her magical reservoir while using her body.
With the activation of Level 3 Accelerate and Sense Enhance, the quick fox's perception and speed were significantly boosted. Each of the claws the dragon blew was calculatedly prevented from scraping her lustrous silver fur.
When a claw escaped her prediction, she instantly applied Level 2 Harden to block a critical hit. And once she found an opening to attack, she would use her unique skill to harden her tail blows, which were enhanced by Level 2 Power Up.
The fox has been fighting against the wolves for long time. The wolves are good at physical attacks, especially the fenrirs. So she trained her body to fight back against the wolves once she was out of mana.
The dragon was not as fast and good as a fenrir, so she could have a decent fight against it.
"TAKE THESE!"
The dragon got impatient with its void hits and summoned tens of Dark Magic Level 4 Dark Spheres around it and sent them to the fox, to which the fox made a run around the forest.
But the spheres of twelve inches followed wherever the fox ran, homing her like flies. The black orbs were fast, probably faster than the running fox.
As she runs, the spheres pass one by one, exceeding her speed. Before the spheres could hit her body, she had deployed barriers around herself.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Crash!
But each of the spheres explodes like a bomb once it comes into contact with its target. So explosive that her barriers shattered to pieces after taking no more than five explosions.
A series of explosions echoed throughout the forest, wherever the fox ran. Each boom caused environmental damages. But not a single Dark Sphere landed a blow on her body.
Even though she has immunity to magic attacks, it is not always universal. Even though it has the word "immunity," it could only tolerate up to Level 7 magic spells at most time.
But in spite of casting a Level 4 spell, the dragon is capable of reaching the threshold of her magical immunity due to the vast difference between the dragon's magical power and her magical defense.
Running around would definitely save her money since she could let the flying bomb hit her sequentially. If she takes them all at the same time, she won't have time to redeploy her protective barriers.
When the explosions ceased, she changed her course and ran quickly toward the dragon. Once she get near, hundreds of excessively long Black Spears descending fast from the sky like a javelin.
Each of them measures over a hundred meters and is at least a meter thick, soaked with the dragon's soul-cursing Level 10 Malignant Darkness. Given the magic capacity of the dragon, conjuring this size and quantity is an easy feat.
Of course, she effortlessly evaded them all since their sizes make their trajectories easy to read. The large spears made small tremors, and they struck in the earth like stakes.
But the fox finds the trajectories of each spear odd. It was as if the spears were not meant to hit her. Before she realized it, the butterfly had set itself into the cobwebs of the spider.
The fox was confined within the corridor, which was fenced by two rows of hundreds of long, malicious, and cursed stakes.
When she looked around, she saw the figure of the dragon from hundreds of meters away. The cursed corridor was actually the trajectory of the dragon's main attack.
(Gotcha!) The fox thought, not the dragon.
Seeing a hint of the perfect opportunity, she immediately utilized a spell she had precast earlier to save time. Her experience with magic made her very proficient with it. Planting a spell has been a strategy she has developed.
She used a simple trigger to set off her instant teleportation while the dragon is in the middle of the charging time of the horizontal Atomic Age.
"WHAT?!" The dragon was genuinely astounded at the sudden appearance of the fox at its back.
Before the dragon could react, the fox unleashed her greatest close combat technique in her arsenal without hesitation.
Enhanced by Martial Arts, the silver fox stretched all her ten tails at an imperceptible speed. As expected, those weren't ordinary fluffy tails, she applied particular effects on each of them.
Utilizing the power of her Mystic Artist unique skill, she cast Materialization to materialize mithrill properties upon the furs of her tails in the form of Harden technique, making each of her tails as durable as the metal.
In addition, she wrapped each of her tails with the incredibly sharp and tempestuous winds of the Level 5 Wind Spear for smoother penetration.
For additional damage, she actually has some soul-damaging abilities, such as the Spirit Scathe racial skill, Wind Magic Level 10: Tempest Winds, Light Magic Level 10: Holy Light.
Combining those destructive abilities, she was able to develop her own technique. A calamitous power that could drill a rocky mountain into bits. She named that technique—Ten-Tailed Tempest Tailspin.
In a beat of a heart, ten turbulently destructive and sharp tails are commencing toward the stunned dragon, ripping its massive body from all directions.
The silver tails easily penetrated through the dragon's tough scales and defenses, tearing its insides to shreds. But the technique doesn't end yet.
