Chapter 103: Hurt Pride

"Isn't that a Kyuubi?!!" In the middle of the crater sat a nine-tailed fox. Ed knew very well how dangerous this type of monster is. It was very famous thanks to an anime back on Earth. However, this fox was different. It had a yellow fur and its nine-tails were not very long. The top of its mouth was white in color, as well as the top of its ears. When it noticed Ed, it released a killing intent that made him get serious in an instant. Ed knew this fight wasn't going to be as easy.

"System what is its rank?" From the killing intent alone, Ed knew that the monster in front of him wasn't normal.

[Legendary] The system confirmed Ed's thoughts. Ed scanned the fox and its cultivation was Earth Establishment level 7. 'That's quite the jump…' Ed withdrew all three of his swords and got ready. Raikou stood next to him and got ready as well. He looked more tense than usual. Ed didn't summon Suika and the others. This fight wasn't something that they could handle. The difference between them wasn't something they could cover with abilities alone.

Ed and Raikou rushed at the monster, while it did the same. Ed took the initiative by teleporting behind it and slashing. However, he was surprised to see that it stopped one of his swords by its tail. He was even more surprised since it was able to detect him. Ed swung once more but he was stopped again. Although its tails weren't long, it was in comparison to its size. The Kyuubi was even bigger than Raikou, so its tails were all at least one meter long.

Ed kept trying to injure it, but he was stopped every time. Seemingly bored, the Kyuubi, who was fighting both Raikou and Ed at the same time, released its magic. Ed noticed that one of its tail tips burned with blue flames as it struck the ground. The already hot atmosphere turned hotter. Ed and Raikou backed away quickly and saw that a circle around the Kyuubi was burning. Had they stayed at their positions, they would be severely burned.

"Raikou, the opponent this time is very tricky. You can go all out" The exchange right now was a way for both parties to size up each other. 'By the way, system. Isn't the jump in difficulty too much? The fourth floor, although confusing, was much simpler than this floor'. Ed had his doubts about the boss this time.

[The monsters' cultivation stays the same every time they respawn, but not their rarity. You're simply too unlucky to meet a Legendary monster.]

Ed didn't too deeply into it. He and Raikou activated Ken, while the monster seemed as if it was enhancing itself somehow. 'It's probably using its QI as a doping' Ed guessed while activating his Mangekyo Sharingan. He wasn't going easy in this fight at all. Ed took the initiative this time, but not by using space magic. Instead, he used Shunpo with Ken giving him unprecedented speed. This time he attacked the Kyuubi from the front.

The Kyuubi was able to react to Ed once more and blocked his attack. This time, however, Ed kept using Shunpo is succession. Allowing him to 'split up' and attack from multiple directions. As expected, the Kyuubi was having a hard time following his movements. It had to go into a defensive mode in order to stay safe. Being occupied with Ed, it didn't notice Raikou charging towards it. Raikou rammed the Kyuubi with lightning magic clad.

Raikou's attack was very effective since it could stun the Kyuubi. This gave Ed the chance to attack it. "Oni Giri" Ed slashed with his three swords simultaneously. He enhanced his swords with Shu giving them extra slashing power. Three injuries appeared on the Kyuubi's body, but Ed knew that they weren't serious injuries. However, they were just enough to piss off the Kyuubi.

"Grrrr!" It bared its fangs at both Ed and Raikou, and its nine-tails spread out like a fan. Each one of the tails' tips had a blue flame on it. "Raikou get into my shadow!" Ed didn't know what it was going to do, but he knew a big attack was coming. Right after Raikou disappeared, a burst of flame surrounded the area. It seemed like a bomb had just exploded in this place. Ed activated his Ken and used Ryu to greatly enhance his legs. He also Shunpo and Spectral Shadow Steps. He was running at maximum speed, yet he could barely outrun the flames. If a wall were to appear in front of Ed right now, the slight delay in hitting it would cause the flames to catch up to him.

After a few seconds, the flames finally stopped. Ed was hundreds and hundreds of meters away from the Kyuubi's location. When he got back there, he noticed that the crater's size grew. 'So the original crater was its doing'. Ed could understand why the group from earlier wasn't a match for this monster. It was simply too powerful. "Well, nothing we can't handle" Ed joked around as Raikou left his shadow. Raikou didn't look tense this time; instead, he seemed as if his pride was hurt. Both of them were Legendary monsters, but Raikou had to rely on Ed to run away.

Raikou took the charge this time and clashed with the Kyuubi. He was using both Lightning and Fire magic. Any Fireball that hit the Kyuubi would be followed by a lightning strike. Raikou was using his maximum potential, and he was overpowering the Kyuubi. It seemed like his pride being hurt gave him an increase in power. "Grrrrowl!" Raikou was the one who growled this time. Multiple 'hands' came out of its shadow and surrounded the Kyuubi. The latter seemed surprised as it didn't expect this to happen. Raikou finally used its race characteristic after such a long time.

With the Kyuubi being bound, Raikou let out a lightning discharge. It was similar to the one he used on the Vermillion Eagles. But, this time it couldn't be compared to before. The effect area was much smaller compared to the Kyuubi's skill, but its density was higher. If someone were to see it from afar, they would only be able to describe it as such "A pillar of light from heaven".

The fifth floor's sky was covered by ash, making it seem like it was always night. But Raikou's skill lit up the entire floor. Ed could only look in astonishment. After the skill receded, the Kyuubi emerged still alive but badly injured. It seemed almost unable to stand on its two feet. Ed didn't move in to finish it since it was Raikou who did most of the damage. Raikou stood in front of the Kyuubi as if telling it such is the fate of the weak, and in a swift motion, he snapped its neck, killing it.

"Good job" Ed gave a thumbs up to Raikou as they were being teleported to the next floor. Ed quickly stored the Kyuubi's body before he was fully teleported.

Hello everyone! Bonus chapter of the week^^

Raikou finally turned serious! Hope you enjoy the chapter!

Chapter 104: New Evolution

After feeling that the teleportation ended, Ed opened his eyes. He couldn't see the ground, or anything in front of him so he was surprised. "Eh?!" After instinctively looking down, Ed was stunned. Below him was seemingly an ocean.

*Splash*

Ed even forgot that he could fly, so he ended up hitting the water. The same thing happened with Raikou. "Why is there water under us? How the hell would people be able to leave this floor?!" After emerging from the water, Ed couldn't help but complain. However, he didn't have time to do so, as a school of fish was closing in on him.

"Those are Piranhas?" Ed recognized the type of fish. But, these ones weren't as small as the ones that Ed knew back on Earth. Instead, they were all over one meter long, with teeth that could snap even steel. Ed immediately withdrew Shusui and Ame-No-Murakumo. Muramasa, with its Fire abilities, wouldn't be much help in this situation.

Raikou and Ed started fighting under the water. Usually, one would feel uncomfortable due to the water's resistance. Yet Ed and Raikou looked unbothered. This was due to their training with multiplied Gravity. As well as their basic physical strength. They could easily finish off individual Piranhas. But, they were fighting a whole school. They needed to be more careful. One by one, the Piranhas kept floating to the surface. However, it seemed like Raikou was too annoyed with them, so he used lightning magic. "Aaaaah!" The comical scream of Ed sounded even under the water. Apparently, Raikou didn't know that water could conduct electricity, so he zapped Ed as well.

Thankfully, all of the remaining Piranhas were killed as well. But, Ed looked out of breath after being electrocuted. Being hit with an attack that you didn't expect usually does a number on you. This was a lesson Ed learned today. He didn't dwell on the matter and instead checked his notifications. He had just killed over twenty Piranhas, so he wanted to know if any of them dropped tickets.

"Ohhhh I got two of them!" Ed was very happy while checking the notifications. But when he got to the top, he was stunned. The Kyuubi from earlier gave him 100.000 Exp, and two Gacha tickets. This was the highest amount of Exp he had ever gotten. Ed didn't know how to explain this situation, so he could only rely on the system's explanation.

[Killing monsters with higher cultivation than you, and your monsters would give you more Exp. Plus the Kyuubi was a Legendary monster, meaning even more Exp] Ed still had his doubts. He had killed many monsters with higher cultivation, so he wondered what the difference was this time.

[Remember the bear you killed a while ago in the forest near your kingdom. Although it was only a King Establishment Rare monster, it gave you 5000 Exp.] Ed calmly remembered. It was indeed the truth. He could only accept these things as he couldn't change them. The fact was that he was able to ascend to Earth Establishment level 2 by killing the Kyuubi.

"Let's look for land," Ed got out of the water and flew. Raikou could somehow enter his shadow even though there was no land. Ed was going to carry Raikou before he did that. 'What a useful ability' Ed thought to himself. After checking his Map and flying for a while, he finally found land. It was an island about the size of Paris. Slightly bigger than his kingdom. Ed guessed that the floor this time was made up from the island and the ocean that surrounds it.

Ed also noticed that a couple of blue dots were on his Map. He felt relieved that he didn't meet any enemies in this tower yet, but he felt that he was only lucky. Such people would definitely appear one day or the other. Ed wasn't going to bother and meet these blue dots. He was going to spend some time stabilizing his abilities while training on this floor. He finally got ten Gacha tickets. This usually meant that he would draw Gacha since it became a habit to do so only when he had ten tickets.

He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan's ability and created a pocket dimension. He was planning to rest after drawing his Gacha. Afterward, it would be hunting monsters and non-stop training. Ed opened up the Gacha interface and chose his draws.

"System, use all ten tickets on Function Gacha" Ed wasn't going to try and distribute them. Who knew what would happen if he didn't get the upgrade cards. He didn't want to risk his sight.

[Drawing, please wait]

*Ding*

Acquired Upgrade Card x6, Transformation Cardx2, Healing Cardx2.

Ed had a wry smile on his face. He actually forgot that the most common card he ever got was the upgrade card. However, it was all good to Ed. He could upgrade other things now.

Ed summoned Suika and the rest. They were going to have some food after Ed finished upgrading.

Ed used two Upgrade Cards to level up his Mangekyo Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Now, he could use his powerful ocular skill without having to worry about becoming blind. After activating his new skill, he noticed that his eyes were much darker now, rather than red. The triangles that resulted from the intersecting squares were now all black. And the hole that was in the middle of the circle grew larger and had a similarly red hole inside of it.

"Use two Upgrade cards on Suika" Ed made up his choice. He was going to upgrade Suika who had been with him for almost as long as Raikou. A bright yellow light surrounded Suika. If they weren't inside the pocket dimension, those on the island would definitely notice this light. Suika's evolution lasted for more than half an hour. After the light dissipated Ed heard a notification from the system.

[Name the new species] This was all what the system said. "What do you mean?"

[Suika got both Black and White magic now. No other slime got this before, making her a new species] Ed finally understood what was going on. He was also very happy with Suika's improvement. Even her aura right now was no lesser than the Kyuubi's.

"How about Nephilim slime?" Ed looked at Suika who was now yellow in color. "Suu!" She answered him vigorously. It didn't matter if she understood what it meant or not. She trusted Ed and that was enough.
