Chapter 75: Meeting The Lightsworn Fox
Dorian stared at the girl, his eyes wide
The girl stared back, slowly backing away froht lit up in her eyes, and a ferocious snarl appeared on her face
As she stepped away, Dorian got a better look at her
She had a sure, just a couple inches over 5 feet tall (157white cloak, showing off her petite figure This cloak had several long tears in it, exposing pale, milky white skin Despite that, she seemed unaffected by the bitter cold that was everpresent in the cave system
Her face was small, allowing silver pupils she possessed and the two s silver hair
"Sorry, sorry&8221; Dorian held his hands up apologetically, stu, both froround, detonation after detonation shook the air, fierce winds whipping through the city as the resounding i out Dorian was almost drowned out, so fierce and loud were these collisions
&8211;
Species: Lightsworn Fox (Humanoid Fory Level: 29,331
&8211;
Ausra sent Dorian a notification, pulling up the infor before him As he saw the unique species, he sent Ausra a request, and had her search through his Soul Spell Matrix infor, to see if the specifics of her species were listed
Successfully, as it turned out Info on the Lightsworn Fox, alongside tens of thousands of other species, was stored in his Soul Spell Matrix
&8211;
Lightsworn Fox &8211; Pseudo-Lord Class
Maxiy Level: 1,882
Ability: White Clawed Strike, Touching Light, Huhtsworn Foxes are abnormally rare They only have a chance to be born on the Universal Equinox, a day that happens only once every nine hundred and twelve years Due to their extrearded by some as a cursed species, forever unable to find an equal mate, doomed to a life of loneliness
This species is especially renowned for its unique Ability, Touching Light, a power that allows users toso, any tool crafted would hold incredibly powerful heat signatures, nearly equal to the strongest dragonfire in existence, Blackgold Flarant the user the power to spread widespread destruction as with dragonfire, and the heat signature is self-contained within the crafted tool
Spry and wiry, Lightsworn Foxes are extreilea large aenerative powers are their th The Lightsworn Fox rowth at the Pseudo-Lord Class
&8211;
‘Wow That’s a powerful Ability’ Dorian’s eyes widened as he looked over the entire listing of info in a split second, hisall of it innately He also was surprised by the natural growth of the Lightsworn Fox For a creature with such a th
That htsworn Fox before Dorian h tough training and practice Unlike most humanoids, it was y Level through physical training and practice, as opposed to studying Magic
To break through to Lord Class, most beasts would study either inherited ht by their parents or seniors Those with Lord Class bloodlines were usually able to use the innate understanding their bloodline held for one specific law to help break through
Lord Class creatures in the ere extremely rare, however, simply due to how difficult it was to study the laws of the universe without guidance
Creatures that achieved power on par with Lord Class beasts siroithout using the laws of the universe, were rare The undead Grakons were one such exaave hiuidance on how to study the laws of the universe, or intense practice with Fire Magic, he was at a bit of a standstill on achieving an understanding of that law He orking on that, by practicing ed to forcibly raise his Soul Spell Matrix to the Lord Class using energy points, but he couldn’t be considered on par with the legendary Ifrits of old, the Rulers of Flah to the Lord Class after gaining a deep understanding of the Law of Fire His unique Soul Spell Matrix gave hilance at her species info
The Huave her the power to transform from her normal state, that of a sht, per what Ausra was telling hiht now It was an Ability shared by lared at Dorian, her hands taking on a s an, her voice touched with venom
"Hey, hey, easy, easy&8221; Dorian held up his hands apologetically, cutting her off,
"I didn’t ht now I didn’t even know you were here&8221; He cursed mentally What were the odds that he landed on the only house with solare at his soul, bla this
He stepped backwards
At that exactboom shook the air Dorian’s sixth sense went off as he spun around, teirl behind him
&8211;
Species: Grakon (Desiccated)
Class &8211; Lord Class (Early)
Maxiy Level: 39,331
&8211;
"Ah da, Expanded form of one of the undead Grakons caible cohters outside the city, it didn’t o completely under the radar It seemed one of the nearby Grakons that patrolled the city had discovered hi up and down the street He breathed a sigh of relief
"GRRR!&8221; A rued at hireatsword aloft
Dorian’s eyes hardened Maybe if it had been a living creature he’d react differently, but for the undead, tortured existence this Grakon lived, killing it was a blessing
The Lightsworn Fox,as she jue of the destroyed building Her eyes traced Dorian warily, watching with curiosity while at the sa toforward Histhe saained a few days ago out of nowhere
"Hup!&8221; He leapt up into the air
As he ju it into the rocky earth It was aimed at Dorian, but missed by a bare inch thanks to his jump
This Grakon’s movements were faster than all the ones that Dorian had faced previously Despite that, its attacking method was still a crude slash, one that was both predictable and dodgeable
BOOM
THUD
The sword crashed into the rubble Dorian had for it anew and throwing up a second cloud of dust A small explosion of rock and stone shot shrapnel off into the air
One of the pieces of rock shot at just the perfect angle, and stabbed into Dorian’s waist in ash in his side He winced as he felt it, blood splattering out of his Ifrit form Even if his
He finished his ju just above its head
The undead Grakons, he had noticed, went all out with their attacks As long as you dodged their first attack, they left themselves open for a split second
"E a sword of fire this tiht onto the skull of the undead Grakon
None of the Grakons had the innate barriers powerful Wizards held, or were able to use ic This made theonfire, even dragonfire that was a bit low on the toterowl escaped the body of the Grakon as it fell to the ground, killed instantly
Dorian landed on the ground a few steps froy in it, its splintered Soul Spell Matrix, and the energy in its sword in one fell swoop
As the energy rushed into hiet pushed back He becahts with undead Grakons had been stressful and tiring, even with his innate sense of coht, feeling the last dregs of exhaustion slip away
‘If I keep absorbing energy, ht He liked sleeping
‘Well, anyway, if all my Lord Class opponents were du He pulled a s it whole He’d ing foric would ith his regenerative powers, but it was a rule in the 30,000 Worlds that the stronger a being’s natural regenerative strength, the less effect healing ic would have on them It was a trade-off of sorts, one dictated by the laws of the universe
‘Maybe I should try switching forms to one that doesn’t heal as quickly?’ He wondered hoould interact, considering his unique Soul Spell Matrix
The Lightsworn Fox girl, lued to Dorian’s body When he unleashed his E the Grakon, her eyes had lit up, a hint of excite in the Dorian slowly The white glow faded around her hands, returning to normal
Dorian turned around,
"Look, sorry, I didn’t an, but, was cut off by her, this ti kill the Grakon I wouldn’t have been able to, not without drawing a lot -like, holding a strange melody to it
"Ah-yeah, sure No problem Sorry I landed on you and broke your house&8221; Dorian returned, a bit surprised
"It’s fine, it’s not reallyyou too&8221; She shrugged,
"I thought you were one of the Shades hunting nized your Dragonforonfire&8221; She shivered as she spoke, her voice filled with a hint of fear She scanned the environ on souard clearly not lowered
‘Dragonforht, confused Ausra informed him, a moment later, that it was a power some species held, the Ability to transforons, on forirl in front of hiht, shrugging He wouldn’t correct her
"No, it’s fine, I sorta landed on the house you were in Wait, Shades hunting you?&8221; As he heard what she said, he frowned, his eyes hardening
"Are they a group of powerful, Lord Class Shades? Wearing long white furs?&8221; He briefly described the group he had seen near the slaughtered expedition
The girl nodded, returning her gaze back to him
"I spotted them earlier&8221; He htering one of thefor treasure I found them with the already dead corpses, before I could even have a chance to do anything It was horrible&8221; He sighed Even if he had been there and seen the The Shades he saw er than he was currently
The Lightsworn Fox blinked, her eyes emotionless for a brief second
She then shuddered,
"That’s the ain,
"And I’m not the only one Apparently they want ather while I was fleeing&8221;
Dorian frohen he heard this, histo otherwith one of his brothers?
‘It ic spell or so his chin He couldn’t assu Still, it htsworn Fox was an incredibly rare one, according to Ausra, and the Ability it had, naht, seemed very useful Even Dorian was tempted by it
‘Ausra, how ht Ability?’ He was still working on piecing together a Grakon bloodline for their Expand Ability, but that didn’t htsworn Foxes are ical creatures, and their bloodline is blessed by the laws of the universe, containing an incredibly powerful Ability To Absorb its bloodline, you will need to absorb its Soul Spell Matrix Absorbing its blood alone will carry over an inefficient exchange of information and will fail, unless you bleed it for an extended period of time, at least three weeks’
Ausra’s response was rather disappointing He couldn’t just kill the girl Well, he could, but there was no way he would stoop that low He wasn’t a ht?’ He looked down at his demonic Ifrit claws He then rolled his eyes at hiirl had been watching hihtly to the side in confusion
"Ah, right I’m Dorian&8221; He stuck out his hand
She stared at his hand for ait
"I’m Arial Arial V’ich&8221;
They shook hands
Just as Dorian was about to continue, about a hundred meters above hi to about thirty meters wide Tentacles of darkness shot fro outward
"The Shades! Dah the cos&8221; Arial swore, her white hands taking on a white glow
"Quick! Followtowards the center of the city
Dorian took one last glance up at the huge orb of darkness, and then sprinted after her, preparing his Berserker Demon formIf you find any errors ( broken links, non-standard content, etc ), Please let us know < report chapter > so we can fix it as soon as possible
