Chapter 246: The Seven-Tailed Vixen

Not far from where the woman in white faced the three-tailed vixen spirits in a tense stalemate, another battle was already raging, and the scale of it was far greater.

This clash was violent, chaotic, and relentless. Shockwaves rolled across the ground as stone shattered and dust spiraled into the air, leaving the surrounding terrain scarred and broken. The landscape had become a field of debris, as though a storm had descended upon it and refused to pass. It was a confrontation of an entirely different caliber, a savage exchange of raw power that seemed heavy enough to darken the sky itself.

At the center of that storm stood a Seven-Tailed Vixen Spirit.

Her seven enormous tails fanned out behind her, thick and snow-soft in appearance yet whipping through the air with frightening force. Each lash of those tails cracked like a striking whip, sending fragments of rock scattering across the battlefield. Even so, she was being held back by two formidable opponents. One was a Sapphire-Eyed Violet Panther nearly the size of a cow, its sleek body flashing across the battlefield in blinding bursts of speed. The other was a Gold-Clawed Inferno Hawk that circled above like a living flame, diving down with razor precision before soaring back into the sky.

Like the lesser vixens, the Seven-Tailed Vixen possessed a pair of delicate, pointed fox ears that rose from her long hair, and her body was draped in a thin scarlet silk robe. The fabric was so fine it was almost transparent, clinging lightly to her form and revealing far more than it concealed. A faint peach-colored mist drifted around her skin like a second veil, soft and alluring, and the air around her seemed saturated with a primal energy that stirred instinct rather than reason.

Yet even compared to the three-tailed vixens, she was something entirely different.

Her beauty was overwhelming.

There was an ethereal elegance to her that seemed almost unreal, a presence so striking that it could rival the woman in white herself. Her brows curved gently in a provocative arch, framing a pair of eyes that shimmered like deep autumn pools, rich and captivating with a sultry glow that seemed to pull at anyone who dared meet her gaze. Her skin was flawless and pale, so smooth it looked as though it might bruise beneath the lightest touch. Her lips, full and cherry red, curved naturally into an expression that felt like a silent invitation, drawing the eye again and again and leaving the mind wandering toward dangerous thoughts.

She looked every inch the legendary vixen of fairytales.

Yet it was not merely her appearance that made her so dangerous. It was the way she moved, the soft giggle that escaped her lips, the subtle sway of her body as she fought. Each motion carried a teasing grace that was both sensual and predatory. The scarlet silk fluttered and shifted as she danced through the air, revealing flashes of pale skin before hiding them again. Her laughter rang high and light across the battlefield, mocking and playful, yet strangely heavy, as though it carried a physical weight that stirred heat in the blood of anyone who heard it.

Beside her, the three-tailed vixens seemed almost insignificant.

The Seven-Tailed Vixen possessed the refined, dangerous charm of a mature woman, the kind of allure that did not merely tempt but ensnared. She was a true femme fatale, a creature whose very nature embodied temptation itself.

Perhaps the most dangerous weapon she possessed was her body.

The scarlet silks clung tightly to her curves, teasing glimpses of ivory skin and the elegant lines of her figure. Her waist was so slender it seemed it could be encircled by two hands, while her hips curved outward in a perfect balance that gave her silhouette a flawless hourglass shape. Above it, the firm swell of her chest rose proudly beneath the thin fabric, emphasized further each time she moved.

As she fought the panther and the hawk, her body twisted and turned with effortless rhythm, a constant interplay of motion, shadow, and flashes of pale skin.

Watching from his hiding place, Marcus found it almost impossible to look away.

Through the thin silk, the proud rise of her breasts was unmistakable, shifting and trembling with each motion of her body. His gaze lingered on the pale valley between them, the sight strangely mesmerizing, and he suddenly realized his throat had gone dry.

She was like a masterpiece shaped by nature itself, a perfect expression of raw, carnal beauty.

In the real world, Marcus could only think of two women who even came close to matching such breathtaking allure. One was his sophisticated senior; Willow Moran. The other was the stunning Talia.

The moment Willow came to mind, Marcus felt a sudden surge of heat rise through him.

He pictured her elegant figure and that natural aura of dignity she carried, the noble grace that always seemed to surround her. She was mature, poised, and undeniably beautiful, the sort of woman whose presence alone commanded respect. Yet as the vixen’s seductive aura pressed into his senses, Marcus felt those thoughts twisting in ways that unsettled him.

His mind drifted toward places it had no business going.

He found himself imagining the proud and refined Willow, a woman who had always kept men at arm’s length with her cold, regal composure. He remembered the impact of her presence, the way people instinctively treated her with admiration and restraint.

Now, disturbingly, that long-held respect was beginning to blur beneath a darker impulse.

A predatory spark that had always existed somewhere deep inside him, hidden beneath reason and restraint, was beginning to stir.

His worry about how she might react to the complicated situation between him and Snow had faded for the moment. In its place was an impatient longing for her return. She had been studying abroad for almost a year now, and the distance was beginning to feel unbearable.

And then there was Talia.

She had promised him a surprise before, yet it had been a long time since he had heard anything from her. The silence felt strange. Perhaps he should call her soon.

Meanwhile, the battle raging ahead was reaching its peak.

It was obvious that the Sapphire-Eyed Violet Panther and the Gold-Clawed Inferno Hawk belonged to the woman in white. The two creatures fought with fierce determination, moving in perfect coordination as they tried to block every possible path toward their mistress.

If the three-tailed vixens were at least Level 70, then this Seven-Tailed Vixen had to be Level 90 or higher. She was a true High-tier Boss in Dominion, possibly even approaching Divine-tier strength.

The fact that the panther and hawk could stand against her at all suggested they were no ordinary companions. If they were not Mythic beasts, they were at the very least Grade 9 creatures of extraordinary rarity.

Even so, the gap between them was obvious.

They survived only by refusing to meet her head-on. The panther relied on its incredible speed, its body flickering across the battlefield while leaving behind phantom afterimages that confused the eye. The hawk, meanwhile, took advantage of the sky, diving down in blazing arcs before pulling back into the air the instant the vixen retaliated.

Their tactics were clever and disciplined. But in a world like this, brute strength often decided the final outcome.

The Seven-Tailed Vixen was clearly growing tired of the game.

A radiant smile slowly spread across her face, beautiful and chilling at the same time, like a flower blooming in the middle of a battlefield.

She was not angry; she was laughing.

Soft giggles slipped from her lips, playful and mocking, and her shoulders trembled as her laughter grew. The scarlet silk fluttered around her body as she moved, turning the entire scene into something strangely hypnotic. For someone like Marcus, watching from the shadows, it was almost too much to take in at once.

Yet the intoxicating aura she radiated made his heart beat faster, filling his chest with a restless heat he could not quite shake.

She was the very image of a man-eater, provocative even while locked in deadly combat.

Marcus had no doubt that any man facing her directly would struggle to fight at even half his normal strength.

The vixen’s patience was clearly running out, and the tension in the air made Marcus uneasy. With effort, he forced his gaze away from her seductive form and shifted his focus toward the center of the storm, toward the pure and breathtaking figure of the woman in white.

Concern crept into his thoughts.

If the Seven-Tailed Vixen truly lost her patience and broke through, the situation would turn disastrous in an instant.

Marcus clenched his jaw slightly. He had to do something.
