AS if on cue, the little fox on the rink was suddenly surrounded by bluish-black smoke. After a few seconds, the one standing there was no longer a fox but a seven, eight-year-old boy. He was wearing a cute costume, his fox ears jutting out from his hat, and there were five tails fluttering behind him. contemporary romance
"Eclipse will be the one beating you up," the boy said loudly, with his hands on his waist, his chest puffed, and his chin raised.
Ding Rong just felt like she would explode any second now. She glared at the bastard who was still acting like she wronged him or something. But if one looked closely, they could see the laughter in them. As if he found this situation very funny.
Letting this boy, fox, whatever the heck it was, fight her, was just this bastard’s way of humiliating her. If it was so, then, he succeeded.
She turned to the duke. "Is this even allowed?"
"Yes. This fox has a master-pet contract with Noctis. So, he’s allowed to fight with him," the duke said. The expression on his face looked like he was offended that he had to explain something so simple. "If you still can’t understand it, then let me explain it in much simpler terms. A pet is just another weapon for a player. So, if a player wanted to utilized his pet in a fight, of course they’re allowed to do so."
Hearing that, Ding Rong just felt that the duke just said the biggest joke in the century. How could something like this be allowed in a 1v1 fight?
She knew, of course, of the newly added Pet System after the last update. When she first heard about it, she wasn’t much interested. Having one of the monsters in this game follow you around didn’t really appeal to her. But that was because she thought that they could only get ordinary monsters as pets.
And now, seeing the boy standing in front of her, she understood how very wrong she was. There’s no way this boy was just an ordinary monster. Only those that that had a ’race’ could change into a humanoid form. It’s obvious that the boy was some kind of fox monster. And from what he knew about such fox monsters, the number of their tails represented their strength.
The boy had five tails. From what he remembered, the maximum for fox monsters was nine tails. Having five tails meant that the boy’s strength was not weak. And she would face this fox together with his bitchy master.
How could that be in any way fair?
"Don’t you feel ashamed, ganging up on me like this?" she said, glaring at the white-haired elf.
"Hey, don’t just accuse Mashter like that!" Eclipse interrupted. "We won’t gang up on you because Eclipse will be the only one to kick your butt."
"He’s right. Even if you hate me, I will still treat you like a gentleman. So, my partner here will be the only one to fight you. I won’t even step away from where I stood," Luo Yan followed. "If you think that it’s still unfair, then, I’d be really, really sad."
Ding Rong felt suffocated. Should she be thankful that he would not participate in the fight? No, all she felt was insulted. Because it’s like the other was saying; ’My pet is enough to defeat you, I don’t even need to lift a finger. Why, you ask? Because you’re weak.’
If she was defeated here in this way, wouldn’t she be the laughingstock of everyone? How could she ever show her face in this game again?
While she was mulling over that, her opponent had already turned towards the duke.
"We can start the fight, right?" Eclipse asked.
"Feel free to do so," the duke said, flying up above and sitting on his floating chair that had a heart-shaped back rest.
Hearing that, Eclipse rushed towards Rosetta. Two daggers made of shadows appearing in his hands. As he rushed over, he threw one of the daggers towards the other.
Because of Ding Rong’s inattention, the dagger almost stabbed her head. It was only luck that she snapped out of her thoughts in time. She managed to dodge the dagger but it still grazed her cheek.
She hadn’t had time to relax when the next onslaught came. It was one attack after another. The boy didn’t only used his daggers, he used every part of his body to attack.
After dodging one of the daggers, a roundabout kick came next. She barely managed to dodge that. But as she did so, a tail slapped on her face. Although one could barely feel pain in this game, she still had the illusion that her world was just turned upside down.
Being slapped like that by a freaking tail, Ding Rong just directly exploded. She took out a pin from her hair. It looked like one of those beautiful hair ornaments. This was her wand. Most Mages used staffs but she preferred using a wand. Something that she could carry anywhere.
She pointed it towards the boy. The rose petals on her hair floated and turned into small blades. It flew towards the boy the moment she pointed her wand to him. The other was forced to jumped back. As he did, he flexibly dodged the rose petals that looked more like bullets.
She didn’t waste time and used another one of her skills – [Thorny Cage]. Her wand glowed green. And before the boy could land on his feet, thorny vines rushed up from beneath and surrounded the boy like a cage. It continued to surround him until there was no space and the boy was completely inside this cage of thorn.
"He would be attacked endlessly inside that cage," she said to the white-haired elf who hadn’t moved since earlier. As he said he would. "Do you think he could survive?" she asked in a very obvious taunting manner.
"Oh, I know he would," Luo Yan said, not even a hint of worry in his voice.
