The Fox Goddess

Chapter 90 Hidden Upgrades On Yumie's Skill

?Yumie charged through Yuki's Ice Attack with no fear on her face. She is now very different from before. In the past, she was meek and had little confidence in herself because of her childhood where she got bullied by the lizard.

She then unleashed her Fire and made contact with the Ice.

'Good, that's it. Go, don't have fear when challenging an opponent.' Yuki muttered under her breath.

When the two elements finally collided, Yuki's Ice melted a little bit. 'Looks like this flame should not be underestimated.'

Yuki then finally became serious and put more of her Mana into her Ice. Ice Mist was forming in the surrounding, she unleashed her bloodlust causing her passive to activate and started to freeze everything around her.

Yumie smirked and released her Fire again to counter the coldness, Yumi coated her whole body with Fire to counter the freezing effect of Yuki's bloodlust.

"Smart choice, but…" Yuki said before she disappeared from where she was standing and appeared behind Yumie.

She then jumped up and kicked Yumie's body in the air, after that Yuki barraged her with Skills.

"Moon Slash!"

Yuki also used her Ice to make Yumie stand in place so that she cannot evade or block the attack. She made sure that Yumie cannot melt her Ice so she used a lot of Mana on it.

Yuki didn't want to use her Blood Manipulation because she finds it cheating and it will be unfair to Yumie because once she uses Blood Manipulation Yumie is bound to lose.

Of course, when Yuki did, she suppressed Yumie by a lot. Not only her Fire didn't melt her Ice even by a little bit, but she was also attacked from all sides.

"Is that all you've got?"

"No… I can still fight!"

"That's what I like!"

She then released Yumie from the binding and dashed towards her, while running she created a ton of Ice Swords and spared with Yumie.

Yumie also created some weapons, but due to the short time, she didn't have any time to master them, so her attacks were sluggish and it was easy to deflect and dodge.

Understanding that Yumie is still practically new to her powers, she lessened the Ice Swords to two to at least fight evenly with Yumie.

Once Yumie saw that Yuki held back her powers she felt sad.

"Please Mom, don't go east on me. At least use like 60% of your powers!" Yumie pleads. She wants to win on her hard work, not by Yuki pitying her.

"Are you sure?" Yuki narrowed her eyes and asked her.

"Yes, I'm sure!" Yumie said resolutely.

"Fine."

Yuki released her bloodlust again, but this time it was stronger.

'No matter how many times I feel this pressure, it is so strong.' Yumie thought.

When Yuki heard Yumie she chuckled softly.

"You should not lose focus." Yuki smiled beside her.

Stunned by Yuki's sudden movement, she thrust her fist towards where she heard Yuki's voice from her left side.

She was shocked that her fist only hit the air.

"Don't get distracted now." Yuki appears in front of her with a sadistic smile on her face.

Ice erupted from Yuki's sides and slammed against Yumie, causing her to cough blood and get on her knees.

Knowing that she will lose, she starts to circulate her Mana on her body and uses one of her Skills.

Even though Yumie knew that she still had a hard time adapting and controlling this Skill, she wanted to go all out on the final stretch.

"Engulfing Flames!"

Yuki's eyes widened when she saw what Yumie was planning.

'This girl, seriously. This is just a test and she wanted to go all out huh.' Yuki thought, she also then started to control her Ice and made armor.

Flashback to 3 months ago.

Yumie found out that when using this Skill, not only does her defense and speed get a boost. Her Fire power gets boosted a lot.

Yuki herself didn't know this because it was a hidden attribute of the Skill, she only managed to find out when Yumie tested it for the first time.

Not only did Yumie burn a ton of trees, but she also evaporated a huge amount of the river.

When Yuki found this out she asked Fubuki about it.

Ding

[It's because Yumie is blessed by a certain God that made her skills get an upgrade.]

"Why can't I see it then?"

[The God hid it because she didn't want anyone to find out.]

'She is still young and she already got the attention of a God, amazing!' Yuki said after that.

"Is there a way for me to see it?"

[Yes. Does the host want to see the hidden attributes of the Skill, Yes/No.]

"Yes," Yuki said without hesitation.

After that, she saw everything that changed in her abilities. But she rubbed her eyes to see if it was true or not or if she was just hallucinating.

"There are only two Skills that got an upgrade?"

[Unfortunately yes. But the host doesn't need to worry because it is already good.]

"I guess." Yuki shook her head and began to read the Skills.

* Corrosive Flames - If the user Fire touches another flame, it will corrode it like plaque and begin to infuse until it becomes one. (The user cannot corrode stronger Flames than his/her own.)

Hidden: Once a flame gets corroded, it will have a poison in it that destroys the inside of a person once hit. This Skill also allows the flame to control the flames that he/she corrodes.

* Engulfing Flames - The Body of the user will get covered by an armor made out of the flame. The defense of the user will be boosted by two when this is activated, and he/she will also get a bonus speed. (This only lasts for 1 hour.)

Hidden: The user will get a damage boost for her Flames by 15%. (It will get stronger as the user gets stronger and upgrade her Skill, The user will get a backlash once the Skill is over.)

"That is good, now I can be sure that Yumie can be safe for now by herself. I just need to point out a few points so that she will not use these Engulfing Flames recklessly."

Back to the present

"Round two, Mom!"
