?
As soon as the kitsune finished speaking, Joseph, who had been struck into the ground by her tail, suddenly burst forth from the earth like a ray of light piercing the sky. Filled with rage, he charged directly at the kitsune.
"Just an avatar of a kitsune, a mere beastling-how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me!" Joseph roared as he rushed toward the kitsune.
His aura erupted like a volcano, and his murky eyes were filled with unprecedented, frenzied killing intent, locking onto the kitsune.
The kitsune had previously instilled in him a deep sense of dread, as if he were facing a deity, causing his mind to waver for a moment.
But after actually enduring a strike from her tail, he realized that this kitsune was merely an avatar.
Her true form seemed to be heavily constrained, unable to unleash its full power!
If her true form were present, Joseph would have fled without hesitation. But for a mere avatar to spout such brazen words in his presence-it was simply courting death!
As Joseph leaped into action, Henry and the others instinctively took several steps back. Though Joseph claimed that the kitsune was only an avatar, far weaker than its true form, the aura radiating from this figure felt like sharp spikes piercing into their flesh, making it difficult for them to even breathe.
Though they still couldn't determine the exact level of this kitsune, the sense of danger it exuded was something even Joseph had never made them feel before.
As they watched with solemn expressions, they saw Joseph, who had charged ahead, surrounded by terrifying, sky-rending elements that howled and roared like a colossal tornado connecting heaven and earth.
Once this tornado formed, the mana within a radius of dozens of miles was drawn into it. Even the mages observing from afar had part of their internal mana forcibly extracted and pulled into the tornado, making its destructive force even more overpowering.
However, as this tornado, which had seemingly become the center of the world, rushed toward the kitsune, her cold and aloof face displayed only a faint, mocking expression.
"Is this all you can do? You're a grandmaster-tier mage, and you come here just to blow some wind at me?"
The kitsune's words made Joseph's face twist in anger, and the furious tornado surrounding him seemed to resonate with his emotions, growing even more violent.
This time, he was determined to tear apart the kitsune's infuriating mouth!
As the tornado became increasingly ferocious, Joseph's expression suddenly changed. The kitsune calmly extended a finger toward the approaching tornado, tearing through the void. Her pale finger touched the void as if creating ripples on the surface of water.
The moment the tornado came into contact with the rippling barrier, it was stopped in its tracks, unable to move any further despite its wild fury.
Seeing this, the playful glint in the kitsune's eyes grew even more pronounced.
She flicked her finger lightly, causing the void to shatter.
From the point where her finger had struck, a series of explosive sounds rang out, and the pale, bursting elements extended forward like a string of pearls, obliterating the tornado in an instant.
A look of horror suddenly appeared on Joseph's face.
The elemental storm was one of his trump cards, a terrifying and powerful move capable of threatening even other grandmaster-tier mages.
Under such a storm, an entire city could be flattened in an instant, reduced to nothing but dust.
But in the eyes of the kitsune, such an attack was utterly insignificant, not even posing the slightest threat to her! This was the first time Joseph had encountered such a situation!
Just from this single exchange, the vast difference in their tiers was evident.
In the next moment, as the tornado that had engulfed half the sky dissipated, the Protector was preparing to activate his staff, form an array, and cast a forbidden spell.
Suddenly, he saw the kitsune appear right in front of him.
Her enchanting face bore an expression of playful interest, and then her tightly closed red lips slightly parted as she spoke, "Since you've already made your move, it's only fair that I reciprocate. Now it's my turn!"
The kitsune's voice unexpectedly echoed in Joseph's ears, causing his body to tremble violently as a chilling sensation surged from his toes to his back.
Though he was reluctant to admit it, the sheer terror of the kitsune's power had already planted deep fear in Joseph's heart.
At his level as a mage, a single exchange was all it took to gauge the difference in strength between opponents.
From the kitsune's earlier display, it was clear that her power far exceeded his own. What kind of terrifying force would she unleash now that she was attacking?
The thought filled him with overwhelming dread.
Immediately, the magic robe draped over his body began to emit a twisted black light, resembling inky black tendrils that wrapped around him, encasing him in a dark cocoon.
"Shadow's Shelter!"
His deep voice resonated as he activated the powerful defensive skill inherent in his magic robe, capable of withstanding even the most formidable mage attacks.
Yet, even with the magic barrier activated, Joseph still felt no sense of security.
A green, branch-like magical staff suddenly appeared before him.
The gemstones embedded in the magical staff began to glow, releasing a dense life force that enveloped Joseph like a green ocean.
Some of the plant seeds drifting in the air were instantly infused with this life energy, causing them to take root, sprout, and rapidly grow into towering trees.
This was a special magical skill that could extend life.
As long as the injury wasn't fatal, such as losing a limb, it could heal instantly.
Even with two grandmaster-tier magical skills bolstering him, Joseph still felt a sense of dread. He quickly activated the scrolls, potions, and various magical artifacts on his person. In an instant, a radiant array of colors swirled around him, forming a dazzling rainbow. The terrifying magical energy surged, engulfing the surrounding space and creating a chaotic
sea of magic.
With all these defenses in place, Joseph finally felt somewhat reassured.
As long as the attack wasn't above grandmaster-tier, he was confident he could withstand it with these protections.
The kitsune's displayed power was indeed terrifying, but after all, it was just an avatar and couldn't sustain its strength for long.
If he could just survive her next deadly strike, it would be his turn to retaliate. Then, both this avatar and Owen's body would be at his mercy!
Just as this thought crossed his mind, he was suddenly taken aback to find that the kitsune,
who had been gathering mana in front of him, suddenly retracted her aura.
It seemed that her earlier aggressive stance was nothing more than a bluff. Seeing him panic and frantically deploy all his defenses, the kitsune couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, her eyes narrowing into crescent moons.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, no wonder an ugly guy like you has survived until now. Your life-preserving tricks are endless! Even turtles and tortoises aren't as good at clinging to life as you!"
The kitsune laughed heartily while mocking him.
Joseph, who had been so solemn, now felt an intense sense of being toyed with, and the calm
expression on his face immediately faltered.
After all, he was a grandmaster-tier mage, a powerful figure in his own right.
Now he was being toyed with by a mere beast!
"Kitsune, I will not rest until one of us is dead!"
Joseph's hoarse roar echoed as the multicolored magical light surrounding him surged furiously toward the kitsune, dyeing the heavens and earth in brilliant hues.
Boom!
The deafening explosions resounded endlessly. The overwhelming magical attack seemed to
tear the kitsune apart in an instant, followed by a series of massive explosions that shook the
surroundings.
Just as Joseph was about to feel a sense of triumph, a sharp pain stung his face.
Turning around, he saw the kitsune standing behind him, somehow unscathed.
She struck a graceful pose, her slender legs crossed as she rested her chin on her hand.
Her enchanting fox-like eyes sparkled with amusement as she smiled and said, "Did you just relax for a moment, thinking I was dead?"
Joseph's scalp nearly exploded. He had clearly locked onto the kitsune's aura just moments ago-how had she managed to move behind him without him noticing?!
