Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world

We, which is me, Kimi, and Alan ran around the Yellow Tail Ape King, we tried to dodge the monster's attack, and we tried to attack the monster to kill it.

"Uhkyo!"

Yellow Tail Ape King, abbreviation, Yellow King, raised its left arm then pulled it backward. From the stance it made, I knew that it would launch another powerful punch.

I need to intercept it to protect the kids. However, it seems like I don't need to do that.

The children, Alan and Kimi already preparing to dodge the monster's punch. More than that, they had already kept their distance from the monster.

They are safe.

So, automatically, that strong punch would come to me who wasn't far from the monster.

Swoosh!

The sound of air being ripped off was heard as the punch shot swiftly.

I inhale a breath and filled my entire body with energy. I observe the punch before I moved my body to dodge it.

The punch passed to the left side of my body. My heart beat faster and my balance was shaking as the fist scratched the Breast Plate I was wearing.

I escaped the danger.

As quickly as possible, I moved my arm that gripping a spear. With a burst of energy, I used an Arte.

"[Flash Swings]"

I used my fastest attack and...

Scratch! Scratch! Screech!

The three series of attacks were successfully blocked by the Yellow King's right arm. What's worse, my attack could only give a shallow tear to its skin.

"UUkyo!"

The monster pulled its arms back. It was ready to launch other attacks.

This time, I didn't have the freedom to dodge its attacks.

I intended to use Swift Gale to get out of these precarious situations but I never did it.

Why?

Because Ruciel protected me with a few shots of light arrows.

The Yellow King chose to dodge those light arrows rather than continue attacking me. The monster jumped a few meters back.

"UKHII!" The monster roared then ran towards Ruciel who was with Chloe.

I didn't waste my time and ran as soon as possible to pursue the monster. Simultaneously, I used a Water Spell to attack it.

"[Water Shoot]"

The four water bullets I fired hit the Yellow King's thigh and stomach but...

Splash! Splash!

They just wet the monster's fur. They weren't strong enough to penetrate its skin.

"Damn!" My fox's tail made a strong swing.

Yellow King kept running, I chased after it, and Ruciel tried to slow it down with a rain of arrows.

Seconds passed and I launched another Arte.

"[Impale]"

"Ukkyi!"

My spear that is covered in red light shot towards the monster's thigh. And yes, the monster dodged my attack by jumping.

I was upset but a moment later, I'm happy.

Chloe, the little girl uses Mana Bind and she uses it brilliantly.

The Magic Circle appeared on the part of the arena floor that would be the place where the monster will land. And as the monster's legs touched the floor, the blue roots instantly tied up and kept it stay in place.

A moment later, flames came out from within the Yellow King's shadow.

Kimi with her Fire Sword tried to tear the monster's stomach. Unfortunately, the girl's attack only scratched the monster's skin and burned a little of its fur.

"Uhkyo!" The monster roared, rampaged, and trembled to try to escape.

We still have some time before those blue roots snapped. Therefore, me, Kimi, Ruciel, and finally Alan who came a little late attacked the monster.

We launched dozens of attacks and yes, most of them didn't do much damage.

Only Arte focused on the attack power that could pierce through the monster's tough skin.

"Back off!" I shouted to give a warning at a moment I noticed something strange happen to the monster.

Alan and Kimi retreat. A moment later, the Yellow King managed to break free from the entrapment of the blue roots.

The monster instantly launched crazed punches at me.

I, who didn't keep my distance from the monster said, "[Swift Movements]"

The Yellow King became slower as I moved three times faster.

Punch after punch came to destroy my body.

I wasn't afraid and I faced that horror.

I dodged, moved my body as best I could so as not to be hit by those punches. Along with that, I launched counterattacks.

When a fist came, I used my spear to tear off the monster's arm.

I used my strength and the momentum of the monster's punch to give the maximum damage.

My plan worked, the Yellow King got serious wounds. But, as a result of that attacks, my spear chipped.

When Swift Movements were off, my spear completely became blunt.

"UKYO!" The roaring Yellow King looked at me sharply. Hatred, anger, and the desire to kill were clearly visible in its eyes.

The monster didn't attack because it became more alert after getting injuries that shattered its two arms.

On the other hand, we didn't attack it either.

Why?

Because after taking a peek at the others, I knew that the kids were putting on expressions of fear.

The Yellow King's terrifying expression might be too much for them to handle.

As for Ruciel...

"Do you have other plans? Our weapons can't hurt that monster easily," she ask and told me.

Well... I could use Doppelganger or Mist of Nightmare Illusion to win this fight in an instant but...

Using a Doppelganger on the first floor would be a foolish act. There are still a lot of floors that we haven't beaten yet.

As for Mist of Nightmare Illusion... That skill might be able to snatch the Yellow King's consciousness in a second. However, I refused to use it.

That skill will also swallow my friend and being too dependent on it wasn't a good thing. My fighting experience will not increase.

Other than those two Skills, I still have a Skill that might be able to defeat the Yellow Tail Ape King.

Venom Essence from Crystal Cobra.

That skill sounds promising, so...

"I have a plan and Ruciel, please fight seriously." I looked at the Fallen Elf girl with a sharp look.

"I'm sure you'll defeat that monster without any help but alright, I will support you."

I nodded. "That's good. Kids, be on standby, prepare your defenses along with your Healing Spell."

Shortly after I finished speaking, Ruciel pulled the string of her Green Crystal Longbow. The girl then made an arrow of golden-white light.

"UKYO!" The Yellow King ran to us quickly.

Ruciel released that arrow of light and I ran pursuing the arrow.

The Yellow King tried to avoid Ruciel's attack. But, the arrow fired by the girl broke into a dozen arrows of light.

The monster couldn't completely get out of the light arrow's area of attack. As a result, the monster got seven arrows stuck in its shoulder and upper arms.

"Uhkii!" 

The Yellow King's steps slowed down.

I took advantage of the opportunity to approach the monster and attack it.

My spear is useless but I still have, "[Sword of Light]"

< Acquired a Skill! Light Magic |Lvl 1 >

[Light Magic | Lvl 1] [Passive]

[ + Gives access to World Memory to gain knowledge about Light Spell I. 

+ When using Light Spells increase the damage by 10% and decrease Mana consumption by 5%.]

Huh? Okay. I've gained a new skill but it's not a good time to focus on the skill.

There's a fight I have to win.

I attacked the monster with a sword of light while the monster attacked me with its punches.

For some time, we exchanged attacks.

I managed to give some deep wounds to the monster. Sword of Light worked better than I expected! This sword can cut through the monster's skin when I use more Mana than it should be.

Not only did I use the sword of light, but I also spat the poison I made using the Venom Essence onto the monster's wounded arms.

Poison in the open wound. It will have a result that can be seen in a short time.

I'm sure this monster will die soon. Especially when a dozen arrows filled the monster's back and shoulders.

That's right, when I kept the Yellow King busy, Ruciel shot her arrows. She gave me generous support.

And yes, the Yellow King isn't the only one who got hurt, I also experienced the same thing. 

I realized the monster's attack had become slower because of the injuries it had. Therefore, I tried to dodge its attacks without using Swift Movements or Swift Gale but this was a big wrong choice.

My head, shoulders, and stomach felt pain after getting punches after punches. And I will say that's a serious thing because I have level five Pain Resistance.

"[Wind Cannon]"

The huge air pressure became a shield as I moved away from the monster. Without wasting any time, I picked up a bottle of Potion and drank it in one gulp.

I can feel the condition of my body getting better. Not only that, but I could also feel that our victory was getting closer. 

I am sure that the Yellow King will not last long because of its awful condition but...

"UKYO!!"

The Yellow Tail Ape King's body began to glow. A dim yellow light painted its body while a bright yellow light covered its arm.

A month later, The Yellow Tail Ape King was moving at a speed it had never shown before.

The monster appeared in front of me with its fist at ready.

Swoosh!

A punch came and I could barely dodge it.

The blow ended up hitting the arena floor and...

BOOM!

A crater, wide cracks, and an explosion of air were created in a matter of seconds! 

It surprised me and a strong gust of wind threw me for a few meters! Worse, some flying pebbles tore my skin!

A second after I landed safely, I said, "I could die if I received the attack directly." 

I narrowed my eyes when I saw the damage created by that one punch.

It seemed like, perhaps, or literally, this fight went into the next level in a blink of an eye.
