Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

Chapter 200 – Aiko had enough and a new weapon!

Aiko was incredibly giddy about the current situation.

There was not just one visitor, not even two visitors, but a whole group of them!

Aiko chuckled darkly, ready to pick a fight with them.

She picked up a nearby Pole and taunted them with her hand.

The Secret Guards, who were hidden in the shadows, were watching over this exchange of stares.

They were likewise ready to pounce on them.

The staring contest lasted but a moment, no way in hell would Aiko keep this up!

She threw the first Pole towards them, announcing the start of this battle!

...

Aiko dashed towards them with another Pole and smashed the first assailant's head.

However, her assailant dodged the strike by twisting his body. He pivoted on his leg, making his right arm shoot towards Aiko.

He had a dagger laced with poison and while Aiko didn't know that, she felt a tingling sensation in her injured right arm.

Aiko immediately twisted her body backwards to avoid the assailant; it was strange to her that he was able to dodge her strike.

She was powerful in this continent, but it seemed like this time the assassins were a lot more prepared than previously.

They also had very different clothes, only their red eyes were peeking through their strange masks.

As Aiko's body twisted backwards, another assassin used this opportunity to kick Aiko's leg, making her stumble on the ground.

Aiko immediately rolled up herself into a ball and used her tails to propel herself backwards, away from the assassins.

She unrolled herself, which allowed her to get up with the persisting momentum.

Aiko was confused and wary about them, it was weird that they could match her pace...

She didn't have much time to think about it as they approached her again.

Aiko took another Pole and redoubled her efforts in battling them.

Her fighting style was very crude and simple, since she was more used to fighting in her Fox form.

Aiko made a straight trust towards her assailant. This time it was harder to dodge it than the previous one.

Yet her assailant received it with his hand which allowed him to tilt that trajectory, making it scrape his clothes.

He was uninjured; Aiko was now concerned. This was not fun, they were supposed to be on her receiving end, yet they could fight against her.

Aiko could smell a strange smell on them, but this was the first time she smelled something like that. Her system also didn't tell her anything about it, as it didn't poison her or restrict her.

Aiko was even more confused, who were these guys?

Her Pole broke, they were not really a good weapon, since their main use was supposed to be impaling other people's asses.

Aiko ditched the Pole as it was useless now and ducked low to dodge a horizontal slash.

The assailants also had somewhat long swords, but the most striking feature was that it was completely covered with spikes.

Those spikes were quite close to each other, which meant that anything caught between those spikes would have a bad time...

Aiko rolled to the side to dodge 2 vertical slashes.

She gritted her teeth, since 'fun' turned into 'danger'.

She picked up a nearby rock and hurled it at top speed, using the movement of her body standing up.

*Boom*

There was a booming sound and one assailant was sent flying, not expecting so much force behind that simple rock.

The assassins stared towards their fallen comrade for a moment before straining their eyes towards Aiko.

This amount of time was enough for Aiko as she ran around collecting more rocks just in case she ran out of her stockpile from her Storage Ring.

She immediately hurled it towards them.

*Bang**Bang**Bang**Bang*

The assailants parried or blocked those rocks, but that didn't mean that they had any room to retaliate.

The tables have turned as Aiko kept hurling stones...

...

{Umbra Fox POV}

The Umbra Fox felt a little drowsy, but fortunately, Aiko distributed them some Detoxification Pills; just in case something happened.

She was glad that Aiko wasn't stingy like the many other leaders who would keep almost all the good stuff.

The Umbra Fox could even say that Aiko was very generous for someone so young.

Sure, Aiko was an arrogant and spiteful little Mistress; with a bit too many flaws, but who didn't have flaws?

It was part of her charm and why Umbra Fox didn't mind being part of Aiko's team.

The Pill melted inside her mouth and her body returned to top condition.

The Secret Guards around joined the fight, but they were clearly wobbly.

The Umbra Fox noticed them taking Pills too, but it didn't seem like they had a good efficacy.

The Umbra Fox took her time scouting the whole battle, each Secret Guard had one assassin against them, but since they were weakened that was already an overkill.

Meanwhile, Aiko was battling 7 assassins at once, but their cooperation was impeccable that Aiko didn't realise she was battling so many of them.

Whenever someone would get pushed back by her Pole, another one would replace him.

They rotated their positions to keep the little Fox busy.

The Umbra Fox didn't like this 'stalemate', but she didn't have time to help Aiko as 3 assassins blocked her way.

2 Assassins had somewhat long swords with those strange spikes, but those same strange swords made the Umbra Fox frown.

'Sword Breakers...' The Umbra Fox's face distorted, but unfortunately for her, she didn't have time to worry about those swords.

3 throwing knives quickly approached her and she had to do somersaults to dodge them.

The two assassins approached her with their Sword Breakers. Meanwhile, the last guy stayed in the distance, throwing his throwing knives.

The Umbra Fox was used to cooperating with the Blood Fox, so now that she was alone she was a lot weaker.

It felt like someone planned this whole thing, but it was also strange...

Their numbers were perfect for keeping them in check, but not enough to completely overpower them...

The Umbra Fox tilted her body to dodge the Sword Breaker, she pivoted on her leg and delivered quite a devastating blow into his crotch.

She couldn't use her daggers, since if she was careless they would be destroyed. Moreover, she couldn't use her throwing knives either since she needed more room to throw them.

The Umbra Fox danced between the two Sword Breakers, delivering lethal kicks onto their bodies.

She was convinced that they would fall down eventually, but other than being stunned or slightly flinching... they didn't lose any momentum.

The Umbra Fox was quite swiftly running out of stamina, since she was mostly used as a throwing support rather than a close-quarter fighter.

The assailants pushed her to the edge, making her stumble backwards and fall from the roof.

As they readied to jump down from the building and pierce her...

Something incredible happened.

*Swish**Boom* *Swish**Boom*

Both of them were hit straight into the face with 2 rocks.

For some time the Umbra Fox did hear strange sounds from Aiko's side, but she didn't have time to check on her.

'So that's what it was...' The Umbra Fox breathed weakly as the dead assassins fell down.

The Umbra Fox breathed in relief that they were then, but suddenly their bodies twitched.

The Umbra Fox was too exhausted and she wanted to transform into her Fox form to finish them.

She was unable to transform...

The Umbra Fox panicked and unsheathed her daggers, stabbing their necks deeply.

She immediately put an Energy Replenishing Pill into her mouth and gently circulated her internal Energy while stabbing them repeatedly.

To her horror, those assassins would still twitch and try to get up...

...

{Aiko's POV}

Aiko felt satisfied with her work, as the assassins were a lot more cautious about her.

This allowed her some breathing room and to recover some stamina.

But she was still upset.

So incredibly upset...

She stared daggers at them, like she wanted to kill them with just her sight alone.

They didn't flinch and recoil, which made Aiko even more upset.

Not to mention, now that she had room to look around, she noticed those who were hit straight in the head and supposed to be dead; slowly stood up and continued to fight.

Aiko looked towards her teammate, the Umbra Fox. She was likewise battling the undying corpses.

"Fuck! Fucking shitty bastards! This was supposed to be entertainment!" Aiko finally snapped.

One assassin got close to Aiko, wanting to slash her.

Unfortunately for him, Aiko had enough...

[Lacerate]

She almost split his body apart.

Blood gushed out of the wound on his stomach, making him recoil, but Aiko would not allow that.

She reached inside, using [Lacerate] on his intestines.

She pulled them out, spilling some of its nasty contents.

The assassin didn't scream or say anything, but he was even more stunned than before.

His body stiffened, trying to recover what was rightfully his...

"Don't worry, I won't steal from you~" Aiko chuckled darkly like a sadistic madman.

She took the end of the intestinal tract and wrapped it around his neck.

Aiko noticed his body was getting harder and harder, so she sped up this process.

She tied the intestines to his neck and the rest, which was around another 3 metres left, were used to tie to his ribcage and dick.

Aiko made sure to properly tighten it; so it wouldn't slip.

It was an incredibly messy operation, she was pretty much covered in blood.

But Aiko didn't care, she had enough.

She couldn't fight them because they had poisoned weapons.

They also had a lot of assassins compared to single Aiko and the Umbra Fox, which made this into an unfavourable fight where she couldn’t enjoy herself.

Aiko hated the fact that her right hand hurt like a bitch from throwing those rocks.

She hated everything about this situation.

In the end, she tied a nice ribbon made out of intestines. She kept his other organs intact so he wouldn't die as quickly.

Aiko laughed like a sadistic Devil and for the first time during this entire fight, the assassin visibly recoiled.

Aiko was holding that assassin by the intestines, using him as an improvised club AND shield.

The gruesome scene of a laughing little girl, completely covered in blood; holding a still-alive person by his own intestines and using him as a weapon, was bone-chilling!

While they were lunatics, they were nothing compared to this little girl!

"Come!" Aiko laughed like a completely insane person and dashed towards them!
