Chapter 192: Fuzzy Memory [3]

[System: You’ve gained a contracted Spirit called [Tamamo no mae]: You’ll gain the power of the spirit either using [Spirit merge]: Where you’ll wield the power of the spirit to its fullest potential. If you chose [Physical manifestation]: This skill creates a temporary physical vessel to match the power of the contracted spirit]

“With my contract, I asked of you to heed my call and bring forth your power onto my hand, Spirit merge!!” A tremendous amount of mana targeted Kitsune’s body and wrapped him in a suffocating aura. Each surge formed a tail that was placed on his back and he dons a form closer to a humanoid fox. In his chest was the gluttony core where every chunk of mana came to be in his possession

His arms were covered in fur that spread throughout every corner of his body until his transformation was complete. The finished product was a fully functional spirit armor that gave him the power of his spirit. He launches an attack in a form of a fox that came with a fierce and burning intent

[System: You’ve been targeted by [Fox flare]: A fire-type spell imbued with demonic energy. It was said to have sentience after it’s been released. This spell will never disappear until they reach their chosen target]

He was met with the fury of the spirit his opponent had merged, its fire was close to the power of his blessing. His power can reforge and even bring about the fullest potential of a weapon matched by its counterpart

“Shit!! That guy gone full psycho, I need to run!!” He encountered a flame that continues hunting its prey until it finally reaches his adversary. The areas which were exposed to this flame were said to eat anything that came within its reach. They burn to an extent that he couldn’t even comprehend the true form of what those flames had touched

[Carefull, those flames originated from hell they can’t be snuffed. They have the divinity of the fallen deities which translates to demonic energy. You can’t touch that thing if you want to keep on living!!]

’Stop screaming at me if you don’t know what to do!! Anywho, do you know any other way instead of using my blessing? That’s a one-time thing, I can’t use that more than once per day. I can but are you sure that you want me to die!!?’

[Okay, I heard of your complaints, there’s a way for you to extinguish the flames of your adversary. I’ll temporarily grant you a skill, I can’t just hand you a skill without any kind of hardships. Even if I wanted, to give you that skill, the system won’t allow me to give you something if you didn’t earn it]

[System: You’ve been given a temporary skill!!]

In his attempts to escape he encountered Kitsune driving a fiery fist at his front and the flames that came on his back. He expected his body to be full of burns and filled with a curse that latches his flames to give a never-ending pain. But when the smoke finally dispersed, it was revealed to the two of his current condition

[System: The effects of [Fox flare] were unaffected!? The player seems to have developed a resistance towards your flames!! Alert: Your flames are now where to be found… Updating, it seems that the flow of energy of your spell lies dormant in the body of your foe. Both the spirit and the player are confused?]

“That was pretty good! Though that flame isn’t that hot if you compared it with my flames. What with that face, my body isn’t affected by the effect of your skill. I never once said that it didn’t hurt,”

[System: The player has taken a direct hit!! Your hp has dropped to a critical level where you could easily die!! Your desire to activate the skill has been met [Devourer of flame]: While you can’t deflect the damage made by the flames you can’t be inflicted by their effects. Once it’s activated your body will become a vessel where you can store any kind of flames. The flames you’ve devoured will increase your current available stats, the increase will differ from the rarity of the flames]

[Status: The player Jin Kurenai’s stats has been increased by 3 due to devouring a lower-level grade demonic flame!! The flames you’ve devoured have emerged from your body and become a tool that sustains your life. All the wounds you’ve sustained are now healed by the demonic flames that you’ve previously devoured]

Jin had a grip on Kitsune’s hand after he deflected the thrust of his sword by sacrificing his weakest shield. It melted as soon as its surface touched the sword which was imbued with the flames of his enemy. He quickly activated his skill and manipulated the liquidized metal which aimed at his foot

He groaned in pain but before he could even think of healing his foot, he received a punch to his face. Though the force behind it was reduced, it was enough to disorient him for a single moment. Enough for Jin to close his distance and equipped his newly created weapon

[System: Raging brass knuckles have been equipped!!

Outcome: The passive effect of the player’s weapon has been activated

Passive: The activation requirements appeared once you closed your distance from your adversary

[Grit]: Once you are near anything that you consider your enemy. Your attack speed will increase by 25%. Crit will have a 10% bonus. Overall Dexterity will be increased by 30%]

[System: The player ??? Has shifted the function of his skill called [Copycat]: All of the recorded techniques will collide with one another and form a different technique]

Kitsune gives him a downward kick that’s imbued with the mana he circulated from the gluttony core. The effect of Jin’s armor quickly activates before it could even reach the surface of his head. He was engulfed with a shield that manages to block his attack and lessen the force of Kitsune’s kick. He swings both of his hands and countered its remaining force. Kitsune tried to distance himself but he was unable to find an opening when he was caught in his skill

[System: You’ve activated 80 mana to activate the 1st option of your [Raging brass knuckles]

1st option: [Close combat]: You and your opponent will be sealed inside a space that locks you outside the reach of the world. In this space, you’re not affected by any effects that originated from the outside world]

“Hahahahha!!! Tough shit jackass, you took a lot of time just to prepare that trap but it’s all going to go. I’ve rigged myself with a teleportation scroll. Now that you’re close enough we can leave this place at once!!!” Inside that circle, he regained his original stats, and not long after he kicks Kitsune to the entrance of the scroll

They came at the wrong time for the two of them to enter that scroll. Once they reach the other side which was the location of his friend. The two found themselves in the middle of a full frontal attack with the two opposing individuals. One was wearing armor with a radiant glow, whilst the other was shrouded in mystery by a good

’Jin…? The fuck is he doing here? Oh shit!! Did he place a scroll on my body? Fuck this is the worst possible time. Morgan bring Sun and Moon out of your sealed space, I need you to save your idiotic uncle from dying,’

[System: The familiars have acted of their own free will. The system has found that they’re following the orders of their player. They won’t be penalized for their behavior, all of the players familiar have left his side]

Before his attack could strike the Bounty hunter he called for his most trusted familiars to save his friend. The clash that took place created a powerful explosion. Before that could ever happen, his familiars reaches their spot. Sun and Moon took the seal from their body

[System: The familiar [Origin] has activated the skill called [Homunclus creation]: By using the required mana you can summon a homunculus. Their ranks and power will differ depending on how much mana the familiar had injected. The familiar chose to spend every single mana that dwells within her body]

Morgan summoned a single homunculus where she used her every mana and enhance its defense. Once it was completed it became the first to sacrifice its body to block the ongoing surge of mana to disperse. Moon came second and he used every attack he had in his arsenal and slows the power of the energy wave. Both of their bodies deteriorated without a single hint of remains to be seen, they were left with Sun along with Morgan

They sacrificed their vessels to halt the approaching energy wave that was born with Morris’s collision with the Bounty hunter. She used the only remains of their strength and durability to ward off the final surge. Morgan mutated Sun’s body where she gains a vessel that outgrew her unsealed state. Their vessels were destroyed after they took the final blow to their lives

After the explosion was no longer present, they found themselves buried in the ruins of the central base. Kitsune was badly wounded whilst Jin manages to protect his body from being crushed. He had a long sigh and after that, he thanked one of the items that preserved his life to the very end. His mask was obliterated and reveals his face for everyone to see. Kitsune came back to his senses and only waits for the right time to land a powerful strike

[Good!! We apprehended this masked player. Did you cuff him with the specialized restraints that I’ve made? It’s designed so that anyone that wears it will be restrained, skills, mana, chi even the activation of equipped items. Hey isn’t that your friend? Why is he screaming? Wait let me try and hear his voice with my authority]

“Hephi!!! Red hair…? Jin has red hair and he uses fire as his weapon!! The most common plot is about to happen!! Red hair flame wielder characters always die!!”

[Red hair!!? Plot!!? What the hell does that mean? Jin he’s talking about something like a red-haired wielder that uses flames?]

As soon as he heard those words he felt an ominous aura from his back

“Ahahahahahaha!!! I only need one more soul and victory will be mine!! Wha~ what the hell are you doing Yuri!!?” Kitsune blocked the Bounty hunter’s attack with his body that took the thrust of his blade. As soon as he used the remains of his mana, his mask shattered and revealed his face. Instead of he, Kitsune was a girl?

([Rewrite system: An important player has been detected!!! It’s a player that’s related to the creation of the novel!!? The illustrator Yuri Mikhailov???])

“How cute these little animal mask necklaces are so dang cute~ Wha!!! I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to stare so intently,”

“Hahahaha, I never thought I’d see someone so enthusiastic about something like this!! I just thought of selling some trinkets before I found a proper job. Are you by any chance an illustrator? I haven’t seen you here and I’ve been here in the streets as long as I could remember. Are you perhaps that writer that appeared here not long ago?”
