I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Chapter 182 Up In Flames

?The group of 4 were running into the village of dark elves, when Clara and Silver split off to go to their own sections.

"No blowing up the entire town Elysia." Shaman wanted to make sure Elysia didn't go full destruction mode and lay waste to the entire town.

"Tsk, I know, I plan to use my spear anyway." Elysia pouted, annoyed she couldn't let herself lose, but she hadn't used her spear in a while so it wasn't too bad.

"Good, now let's clear the town." Shaman said, as they approached the split-off point, and Elysia nodded. Going their separate ways, Shaman hoped they could finish this as soon as possible.

<Shaman POV>

Running to the centre of the quarter she assigned herself, Shaman yelled and made as much noise as she could to attract all the dark elves in the area.

"Oiiii! Come over here!" Reaching a small open area in the middle, Shaman halted her movements and waited for all the elves to arrive. Gripping Kotetsu, she changed the affinity to fire and activated [blade of flamescion], causing her blade to violently burst out with flames.

'It feels so much easier to use.' Remembering when she burnt the mana circuits that ran through her body, it was a weird feeling to be able to use the skill without issues.

The dark elves were growing in number with a few guards among them preparing to attack. Slowly inching closer to Shaman, murmurs of hate and threats of death echoed among the crowd.

Once close enough, Shaman pulled her blade back, preparing to release an attack that would hopefully wipe out the majority of them, aiming to make it an easier fight.

The dark elves didn't stand still and charged at Shaman with whatever weapon they could grab, doing whatever they could to reach her and even throwing their weapons at her when they couldn't.

Dodging the thrown weapons, Shaman then spun on her feet and swung Kotetsu with great force releasing a highly condensed fire blade.

Cutting straight through the initial line of dark elves, the fire blade reached the middle of the elven horde when it suddenly exploded. Burning to ash half of the dark elves in an instant, the fire spewed everywhere, setting fire to the buildings and charring all nearby nature.

Switching Kotetsu to ice, Shaman turned her attention to a group of elves who were just behind the new zone of destruction and were unaffected by the flames.

Not caring what happened to their fellow elves, they continued to rush at Shaman. Some of the guards that were also part of the group tried mimicking what Shaman did and sent wind slashes in her direction.

Activating her sword domain, flowers sprouted and Shaman noticed something changed again within it. Icy air filled the area, which she could only assume was because of her affinity with ice.

'Now that I think about it, I haven't really checked the system in a while.' Shaman had been ignoring the system for a while so she forgot its capabilities at times.

'No matter, I need to focus.' Not wanting to get distracted as the attacks were getting closer, she needed to concentrate.

Letting the elves get close, Shaman quickly used the cold air to her advantage, slowing the wind blades which she then easily dodged, all while dashing into the group of elves. Shaman got into the rhythm of parrying the blows of the Dark elves, then countering with her own attacks, killing each of them in an instant. She also created a second sword out of stardust and ice, allowing her to defend herself from most directions, which she would need as by now she was deep amidst the elves.

Constantly turning, blocking blows, shooting ice spikes into elves and slicing limbs off. Shaman was making quick work of the group of elves and was getting closer to killing them all. Thanks to her being nimble, Shaman was able to dodge and parry the attacks with utmost efficiency, leaving herself just barely enough room to avoid getting hit.

However, once some of the guards joined in on the assault, they proved to be much more difficult.

As the first guard to reach her thrusted their spear, Shaman jumped up in the air while dispersing her ice blade and then placed her hand on top of the spear. Channelling her Ice on it, she tried encasing both spear and dark elf in ice, but the elf reacted in time. Letting go of their spear they swirled wind over their hand and went to punch Shaman who was still in the air.

Blocking the strike with the flat side of her sword, Shaman was blasted back into some regular elves that attempted to slash at her while she was still flying through the air.

'Shit.' Seeing the elves going for an attack she stabbed her sword into the ground and used her wind to slow herself down. She brought herself to a stop before reaching the elves, but this did not stop them from charging at her with reckless abandon.

Raising her free hand she summoned water from the ground, trapping the elves that were about to attack in a water bubble. They began to drown in the bubble and Shaman left them there to die.

However, as she turned her attention back to the elf guard, 3 more guards joined the first one and rushed at her with their spears. Quickly raising an ice wall which was broken down shortly, Shaman still managed to stall the elves long enough to create her ice and stardust sword again.

Opening up a few stardust portals, she sent ice spikes in the blind spots of 2 of the guards, disabling them temporarily. The other two continued their attack, with both each attacking a different location.

Using her two swords to block both of them, her ice sword ended up shattering as the elves reinforced their weapons with wind increasing their destructiveness.

Unable to block the attack, Shaman got stabbed right in the stomach and blood began flowing out.

"Argghh." Shaman shook from the pain as she held the spear that was now lodged into her stomach. The other elf was able to pull back and strike again and this time went for Shaman's head.

However, before he got close, Shaman released a bunch of flames from her body and gripped the spear tighter. The elves tried to back away because of the heat, but the elf holding the spear hesitated to leave their weapon and failed to get away in time. Feeling their skin melt they screamed in agony as they slowly burned to death.

Once the elf was dead, Shaman shattered the weapon in her hand and pulled out the blade from inside her. Looking at the remaining 3 elf guards, Shaman was pissed off as she glared at them menacingly.

Holding her stomach to stop the bleeding, she used her own fire to cauterise the wound shut for the time being. Coating her sword in ice, she then dashed forward while dragging it across the ground to create a small trail of ice.

The guards suddenly felt a tinge of fear. Even though they were all in their usual crazed state, something within Shaman still caused them to feel danger.

The elves, although terrified, moved to block Shaman's assault, but found she didn't go for an attack but instead created an ice floor in front of them. Failing to understand Shaman's plan, they plucked up the courage to step forward to go for an attack.

However, upon stepping on the ice platform, dozens of ice spikes rose from the ground, impaling the elves with ease. The majority of the elves were now dead with only a few normal ones left, but Shaman quickly conjured up ice spears and sent them directly into their heads.

Once everything was dead, the pain from the stomach wound kicked in, dropping Shaman to her knees.

"Ah fuck that hurts." Heavily breathing, Shaman tried using heal on the wound, but the size of the wound was too much for her to heal fully.

Laying on her back in the flower field of her sword domain, Shaman took this moment to rest.

'I need to be more careful with those guards, they are weak one on one, but if they are together they can do some nasty stuff.' Shaman saw how their teamwork was flawless, but due to them being innately weaker than Shaman, it wasn't too hard for her to react or counter them.

Looking over to the side, Shaman saw buildings on fire in the distance and wondered how Elysia was going with her fight.

'I just hope she doesn't do any big atta-.'

*BOOM*

"God fucking damn it, what did I just say!!" Screaming out, she held a small hope that Elysia would hear her, but with the entire place shaking and bursts of fire erupting from several buildings, it was a dim hope indeed.

'Gosh this woman won't ever stop with her large-scale attacks. If she did all this with just her spear, I can't imagine how much stronger she would be at tier 10.' Shaman was bewildered by how volatile Elysia was with her fire and couldn't imagine what it would be like at tier 10.

'At least it was only her area, but now I can imagine elves from the castle are on their way.' Shaman got up from the ground feeling a bit better and headed towards the middle of the town to wait for the oncoming wave of elf guards from the castle.
