I dusted myself off and circulated nature energy through my body.

  I was surrounded by confused citizens. Not exactly cultists but they were all believers of tomato bitch, which means they’re my enemy. I turned around and admired the enormous cathedral made out of marble and gold.

  Whoa this must have been hard and expensive to build! it would be a shame if a certain fox would destroy it!

  I ignored the bystanders and scaled the cathedral and it didnt take long for me to notice an angry tomato goddess. “Get down from there obnoxious furball! That took a decade to build! I will reserve a special place in my trophy room for you if you even break…”

  My tail knocked over an ornamental piece which fell to the floor and shattered.

  I would say ‘Oops’ normally, but I don’t care.

  I climbed faster and let my tails knock down anything that protruded. Tomato goddess stopped attacking me and tried to catch all the stuff I was knocking down. Nilah reacted, used foxfire, melted a hole in the wall and entered the cathedral. We were near the top so I wondered what could draw her attention. What did she sense?

  “Aaagh! My beautiful cathedral! This is a place of worship! No furballs allowed!”

  I saw that she wanted to attack but she held back at the last moment. I grinned and followed Nilah.

  Nilah ran over enormous marble tiles to a sphere that seemed to be made out of pure mana. It’s was highly condensed mana. It was hovering over some sort altar in an enormous empty marble hall. Well, the hall wasn’t exactly empty, the walls were lined with marble statues adorned with gold. All of tomato bitch in different poses and the ceiling got held up by enormous marble pillars. I suppose gold is her favourite metal and marble her favourite rock.

  Nilah arrived at the sphere and started stealing the mana from the strange mana sphere.

  Tomato goddess entered the hall and started to lose her mind. “What are you doing! Get your obnoxious pet off the offerings!”

  These are the offerings? Your cult offers you mana?

  She flew at Nilah but changed course as I sent a wave of foxfire at some statues.

  “This is my hall! My cathedral! My sanctuary! Get out!”

  Make me! Nilah! Keep stealing her offerings! I will distract tomato bitch!

  Biian had stopped throwing light attacks around and tried to calm down. I didn’t see anything that was light magic resistant. Nothing was foxfire resistant either but that wasn’t my problem. Tomato bitch was tomato red and was hyperventilating a bit to keep her anger under control. “How about this furball, you leave my capital and I will forgive your transgressions.”

  My first and 2nd tail froze 2 marble pillars, pulled them out and started swinging them like clubs.

  “Nooo! Hiring artisans to carve those took a large chunk out of the treasury! You are dead furball!”

  My tails kept swinging my new weapon, [Foxfire Marble Club], imbued with foxfire, at tomato bitch. I was on a timer though; these clubs weren’t conductive to heat or foxfire so they would get destroyed by the foxfire sooner or later. Luckily this room was filled with marble pillars!

  I swung a marble club but my tail let it go and it crashed into 3 tomato statues.

  Tomato bitch screamed and sent a laser at me. My tails dug into the floor and flipped a marble tile. A new skill! [Marble wall]! The laser went through the marble tile like it was made out of paper and took out my left arm.

  Aaagh! Ok I deserved that!

  My arm didn’t get blasted off but it started to get mana corrupted.

  Losing arms seems to be getting a theme for me now…

  I cut off my arm with a foxfire sword and created an arm made out of frost.

  Hey tails our new [Marble Wall] is useless, do something!

  My tails responded by using [Frozen ground]. Another laser came at me and they flipped another large heavy marble tile.

  Hey come on guys that didn’t work the first time!

  “So, you have finally gone insane?! Who are you talking to!”

  The frost on the tile acted as a mirror and sent the laser back and blasted Biian’s arm off.

  Ha! An arm for an arm!

  Another marble pillar got ripped out and my tails started dual wielding marble clubs. I used [Frost Marble tileflip] to reflect lasers and even turned some into [Foxfire Marble Frisbees].

  Biian’s focus had dropped to 0 as she seemed to be popping veins and tried to save her hall. “My sacred hall is not a playing ground! Look what you’ve done!”

  Hmm, not destroyed enough.

  It was quite risky to pull out more pillars so it was time for [Marble Biian Club]. My tails extended and ripped 2 marble statues out of the floor and the club swung down at Biian. Tomato goddess dodged it but the swing broke off the head as it crashed into the floor. “Not my face!”

  She blocked the subsequent club strikes to prevent them from breaking. I evaded a kick and threw the clubs at her. Tomato goddess was extremely pissed but she couldn’t act upon it. My new weapons broke so I ripped [Marble Biian club v3.0] and [Marble Biian club v4.0] out of the floor.

  “Just you wait… the moment I get you out of my capital, not even a speck of dust will remain of you!”

  Well good thing that I won’t be leaving then. I kind of like it here.

  I rolled to the side, used [X-1], grabbed it with my left arm which was made out of frost and sucked in all the light magic flying around. Nilah forcefully ended [Heat Exchange] because neither of us needed to use that at the moment. She was happily taking in all the mana this bitch had collected. I was wondering if this wouldn’t oversaturate her but she seemed fine.

  Biian’s attacks got fiercer and fiercer the more marble clubs I broke. The hall was quite destroyed and relatively empty. The upturned marble tiles didn’t help either.

  Ehh, this place is kinda empty, you might want to decorate it.

  My tails flipped another frost covered tile. Tomato goddess tried to evade but slipped, I took this chance to freeze her dress to the floor. I then flipped the tile she was frozen on.

  “Asshole!”

  She broke the tile with a punch and I finally released the [X-1] I had in my left hand the whole time. She took it and froze, I was unsure for how long but I needed to get out of here as she started to emit a dangerous amount divine energy.

  Nilah, are you done yet? She might actually lose it and just blow this whole place up!

  Nilah didn’t seem done yet.

  Right, time to find another hall to destroy then.

  I used foxfire to melt a hole into the floor and jumped into the hole the moment tomato goddess broke out of the frozen state. “Come back here at once! That room is dedicated to my high priests! Even I have never been there!”

  I landed in a dark room and looked around as I could see what was in this room.

  What in Hourai’s name is this?

  The walls were hung by skilfully drawn images of tomato bitch and random people. They looked quite suggestive some borderline pornographic. Tomato goddess landed in this same room which got illuminated by her presence. “What in Biians name is this!” She said as she stared tearing the drawings off the wall. “Who did this!?”

  No wonder they didn’t want you to enter here. But hmm I recognize this style. When did Greg draw these?

  “Greg? I heard the high priests talk about an individual named Greg who they acknowledged to be the holiest of high priest because of his special contributions!”

  What? Haha! They made Greg a high priest because he drew these?! Wow I guess you can’t make this shit up!

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  I had forgotten something important and that was that I was currently in a room full of things she despised. She had no issues blasting this hall. My tails reacted and I got launched yet again. The cathedral collapsed while I was mid-flight due to the damaged integrity of the cathedral. She should have used more support pillars as this is what happens if you don't.

  A blue fox jumped out and ran toward me at full speed.

  Tomato goddess tried to stop ithe cathedral from collapsing but it failed and divine energy exploded from her and she flew at me. “I finally got you out of the capital. Look what you did!”

  Your cathedral looks like a pile of junk now. I can’t claim all credit for this unfortunately. I will concede, you will get all the credit for destroying that cult headquarters.

  “I did not destroy my cathedral and it’s not a cult it’s a sacred religion! I had enough of you!” Biian turned big again but this looked different. “Receive my divine retribution! Bathe in my light! [Biian’s Light]!”

  The sky turned bright. Too bright. All my [Dragons] that I had set up before the ‘cathedral adventures’ got obliterated. I wanted to throw a tantrum but there was no time for this.

  Nilah, we need to use [Heat exchange] again and swap. I’ll go cold and you’ll go hot.

  A [Frost Dome] got activated. What was coming was worse than a laser. What could be worse than a laser? Something that blasts an area so wide that I can’t outrun or out teleport it. [Biian’s Light] or more like [Biian’s Nuke] came down upon my [Frost Dome].

  I was wrong, this isn’t a nuke it’s more of a continuous light stream. It kept coming and coming. I got a nasty flashback to the PB cave where I turned into a popsicle.

  Not this time! I’m a more experienced fox now!

  Nilah was taking the cold from me and throwing strong foxfires around. My [Foxfire: Sapphire Rings] multiplied and sent an enormous foxfire cone out behind me. I’m not sure what’s behind me but whatever was there is gone now.

  I sent some energy to my 5th tail which could drastically improve the probes performance. All the mana I could hold went into casting more skills to prepare for the rest of the fight, the rest got vented through my [Foxfire: Sapphire Rings] and by sending it to Nilah.

  The frost dome started to slowly push back as the lightning I had started to dump in it reached silver. I tried my best to not enter [Silver Torrent] because my food reserves wouldn't be able to take it. The mana influx was slowly freezing my body as I still wasn't spending enough mana.

  I took a brief glance at the massive foxfire cone behind me which had carved a permanent scar in the landscape. Good! I need to destroy her country more! Although she is doing a great job doing it herself.

  I went 9t mode to increase my power, This suddenly became very manageable. My body temperature was still a problem however.

  Nilah covered me in her foxfire covered tails which made the [Heat Exchange] more efficient. I was slowly warming up as Nilah and I continued pushing back on this attack. This counter is going to hurt if it hits.

  My toes could move again after getting thawed and pushing back became easier.

  Come on tails! Let’s show this bitch why we’re a mythical beast!

  My tails stretched out, touched the dome and started to write primal runes on the dome.

  Oh of course!

  My tails had written a string of runes that would aid me in defence and counters.

  Yire paro, yire paro. Mali agaccede adpe me. Mali agaccede adpe me necha pagrediku idac rekhea. Reverhitum, yire paro. Manesa durabs

  This was enough to overcome the power difference and the counter fired back at Biian.

  I got covered in orange light as the blue and silver colored counter exploded orange. Biian got knocked out after a loud scream.

  Ohh lucky! A critical rush! Let’s go Nilah!

  I swapped back to ‘hot’ and Nilah to her preferred ‘cold’ before turning into a sword. Biian was down for the count in her enormous form.

  Here have some of the energy you sent at me back!

  [Dagger Torrent] got activated as well as [Boss music: Ainahs]. Tomato bitch was writhing as she woke up, still in her enormous form. I drove Nilah into her eye and she used a full powered [Kryokym]. Several of the flying daggers and lightning magic had crit on her which kept prolonging my critical rush.

  “Lucky furball, this won’t change anything.”

  Her enormous hand came at me as she got up. I jumped up and on the back of her hand and ran up to her arm cutting her arm into slices behind me. The air filled with light motes again and shot [Light Beams] into all directions. My wires had wrapped around her leg and a freshly made lightning [Dragon] passed by and pulled on it.

  “Silly lizard, that won’t make me trip.”

  Oh but that’s not it’s intention.

  Nilah used [Frozen Ground] and froze the leg the [Dragon] was pulling onwhile I kept cutting with foxfire slashes. The daggers flying around kept critting and [Dagger torrent] had entered it’s black lightning stage. I reached tomato goddess’ shoulder, teleported to her face and drove a foxfire covered tail into her eye and used [Foxfire: Vaporize] This also crit and blew her enormous head off.

  The triple clones became active as I sent energy to them and they started terrorizing her as they ran up to her and attacked her with water Dragonvein and water magic. I continued to torch them so that they would explode.

  I had set up 35 triple clones which hopefully, was enough. Several exploded in orange light as they landed critical hit after hit. I was getting a bit hot due to this assault so I went back to Nilah to equalize our temperatures.

  Nilah turned into her sword form and her 8 sword copies as I continued chucking hot and cold foxfire imbued swords at tomato bitch. Every sword discharged a blaze whenever they hit causing the [Foxfire Frostburn] stacks to rapidly increase.

  “It hurts! Make it stop!”

  She had regenerated but the [Foxfire Frostburn] stacks started to finally affect her. She was clutching her head but she lost balance.

  The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

  Nilah created enormous [Frost Spikes] for Biian to fall on. Another loud scream came out of her as she landed on them. Divine energy started to emanate from her more and more.

  I pressed the attack as I was still in critical rush. The copies combined back to 1 and I chucked it and dumping all the mana I had stored into a big [Kryokym] attack. No critical hit unfortunately.

  Light attacks were still flying around so I could repeat it after absorbing some and attempt to do some crit farming. A [Kryokym] crit is going to do so much damage!

  Still no critical hit after the 6th attempt. Her divine energy ballooned yet again followed by a large light explosion which sent me flying into the sky which took my just accumulated [Frozen Skin] layers off me.

  That was a strong attack and Nilah was still on the ground. We were too far for an effective [Heat Exchange] and my stream of attacks got interrupted by this so I was unable to prolong my critical rush anymore. I had counted 312 crits. Probably history’s best. Nobody would probably break this anytime soon, including me as a massive golden magic circle appeared into the sky. This might kill me…

  “You have forced my hand. I don’t like using divine energy but I should have expected this. Your race always forces me to use it” She said as she had turned gigantic.

  I tried to swap Nilah to me. But tomato goddess somehow managed to cancel it with a lot of divine energy. “Oh no you don’t that obnoxious fox stays on the ground.”

  Taking ‘Massive Bitch’ a bit too seriously, aren’t you? How big are you? I just got sent flying to above the clouds.

  I was still half curled up in my tails and might fly off into space if I didn’t do anything.

  “Ugh, this pain. How about this. You get rid of this bizarre affliction you put on me and I will let you walk around for 5 more years?”

  You refused when I was open for negotiations. Enjoy being in perpetual pain. Even better you will be stuck with it forever if you kill me!

  “We’ll see about that!” the sky was super charged with mana. I wasn't sure if I could guard against this and I was a sitting duck without Nilah. I curled back up and covered myself in frost.

  The attack struck me and sent me flying yet again. The impact was so great that I broke the sound barrier. Something I was familiar with but this was the first time I achieved speeds above Mach 1 involuntarily. It sent me flying into the Lucidus mountain range halfway across the continent.

  I was in pain. My body was fine but the tails that blocked that were hurting.

  I guess my tails are evenly matched against divine energy.

  I felt a bit dizzy and lightheaded and tried to heal my tails with nature energy but it was surprisingly difficult.

  Tails please! I don’t want to see a healer!

  Something enormous appeared above me and gave off a lot of mana. More trouble? The massive bitch is still where she was before I got sent flying.

  “Whoa their buddy. You started a party without me?!” a loud and deep voice said.

  Huh what?

  An enormous green no-winged wind dragon appeared from above me and gulped up all the mana of the follow up attack that got shot toward me. The massive bitch who noticed Inyr started dashing at us.

  Inyr stuck out his tongue in disgust. “Ugh, light mana is as disgusting as always” and let out an earth-shattering belch.

  Aaah! My ears! Can’t you cover…. Never mind you can’t cover your mouth…

  Inyr used [Dragon Roar] which briefly intimidated Biian. “Ugh, just my luck now I have to fight an obnoxious furball and an even more obnoxious leather purse.”

  Seeing other races as your wardrobe is a big problem.

  I got up, which was easy as my body temperature was spiralling out of control and I had turned the area into a lava puddle.

  Inyr picked me up and flew up. “It has been a while, still in the midst of trouble I see, do you mind if I lend a hand?”

  Oh, I don’t mind. I am glad to have you on board! Oh, this is the bitch that killed my gramps by the way.

  “I see, I suppose you’re still too young to kill her. Well rejoice Inyr is here! Let’s make this party a good one shall we!”

  ?
