The flower and the fox

"Glad to team again with you, Selena." Kitsune healed herself and took a deep breath after being glad to see her.

Selena Metomia, a ravishing green-haired woman with a busty body, was also the one who influenced Kitsune into liking lewd things. Her clothing was much more vulgar than Kitsune's. Her clothes were just some kind of nature clothes that exposed too much of her skin, even her bra was just a leaf.

"Don't think that you're the only one who has sought vengeance on the Mikadzuki. I will avenge Celine and the rest of my squad and my family." Selena intensely glared at Mikadzuki, showing her hatred and planning to exact revenge.

"If you can, lend me a hand, Kitsu. Let's beat him up till he meets his grave!" Selena was angered and her plant magic appeared on the ground, aggressively destroying almost the entire area with her plant roots.

"Couldn't agree more, Selena. I too need help with an exacting vengeance for my brother." Kitsune prepared her crimson fox form and fought alongside Selena.

Meanwhile, Akira was aided by the Green Flower squad member, Clara. A beautiful green-haired young lady, wearing a headband used her bow and arrow to fight the Mikadzuki. Her arrow had a unique appearance. Once touched by the point of the arrow, it melted those it touched. She was a poison-type warrior. Her poison was corrosive and acidic, that was why it could melt.

The man went defensive and used Akira's scythe as a deflector of her arrows. He stated that mana coating wouldn't help because the poison could easily remove the mana coating afterward.

She pulled the string of her bow and aimed at the Mikadzuki. He stayed cautious and tried to wait until her weaknesses were exposed, while also staying further away. After she had released the string, the arrow was launched with incredible speed. Right before the arrow hit, he deflected the arrow and grabbed the shaft, immediately throwing them and launching straight to Clara.

She shot another arrow quickly. The man avoided it by moving his head. One step closer, he raised the scythe in the air to launch a strike to kill her.

Akira stepped in and punched him in the guts, launching him away from her. He told her to stay back and protect the rear while he was in front.

Clara nodded, and so she stepped away further and aid him from behind. As the fight progressed, Akira clenched his fist against his palm and smiled cheekily. While maintaining his focus on the two, the man twirled the scythe and prepared to battle.

"You seem to enjoy this, boy. Well, I too am enjoying this, so it'd better be a good fight until our teeth fall out. However, without your scythe, how will you fight empty-handed without having any experience in martial arts? All I know is, you have a signature fighting style in wearing weapons but lack hand-to-hand."

"You're right, that reminds me..." Akira then remembered something. He had a weapon that he could summon as well. As for his weapon, he summoned a medium-rank weapon called "Knight Sword." He'd held a dagger before, so swords would be alright because they were the same thing, just bigger and longer.

He coated the sword with blood, and so he charged forward. He launched his blood slash and the man jumped. In mid-air, Clara fired 7 of her arrows at him. The man then deflected them with ease.

Akira shot another blood slash behind him, but it missed him, and the man jumped in mid-air by stepping on his scythe. The man snatched up the scythe and covered his mana before unleashing his mana slash. Akira was able to dodge it by backing away from the man as he landed on his feet.

Akira was annoyed by his flexibility, but he never showed his magic. He coated his mana and used only his martial arts. Whatever that may be, he stepped forward even if he was outmatched or knew he would be defeated. When it came to his chances of winning, he mustn't waste a single percentage, even if it was one percent.

Akira noted his movements and asked Clara to make his sword poisonous since he knew he was very cautious about her poisonous arrow. Akira also paid close attention to his moves, that was why he needed him to get closer so he could get his scythe back with the help of Clara, using her magic to coat his sword with her poison as plan B if it didn't work. Without his scythe, the man couldn't possibly deflect her poison.

She didn't ask why so, she approached closer and gave Akira some of her poison by directing her palm to the sword. The man launched himself forward toward Akira and Clara as they were off guard. Akira caught his strike with his hand and gave him a menacing stare.

"Gotcha!" Akira tried to impale him with his already poisoned sword. He tried to stab him, and he finally let go of Akira's scythe.

Akira thanked Clara, and now he had nothing to deflect from. Without a weapon or a defensive object, he couldn't deflect anything. Even if he was coated with mana, it would melt. The man touched his stomach because of the poison. Even though he didn't stab him, the poison she gave was still fresh as liquid and it touched his stomach area, his body was bruised and burned by the corrosive acid from the sword. He didn't scream, however, nor did he groan.

Akira used both of his weapons as she coated them with poison. The man grinned and cracked his neck, showing an ecstatic smile when he finally used his magic.

"Hhhh, hahahahaha, I admit, you are special the way you are. Our leader has been targeting you, him, and him after you've fought Kiiro." The man chuckled silently as he pointed at Kazoru, Akira, and Volts that they were the ones who had been targeted by the Mikadzuki.

"And now, be proud of yourself, for I will show you my true power!" The man's magic was charged to the point where his physical appearance changed. As his booming aura spread over the area, the stones on the ground started to rise. He started screaming as he became stronger towards the end of the stage of charging his magic.

[BODY ENHANCEMENT MAGIC: STRENGTH CORE]

His body radiated heat inside his body, making steam come out of his body. His body turned red as his veins could be seen. Akira felt the heat as well as his mana surging inside.

Akira stared fixedly into focus as his danger sense warned him. The man instantly vanished and appeared on his right. It made Akira launch away like a canon after the man punched him. Clara fired her arrows, and the man grasp the shaft of her arrow, crushing it while also stomping the ground, causing shockwaves. 

She too was launched further away and was injured badly. Thankfully, Volts saved her with his shock speed from any more damage.

The man walked slowly, approaching Akira. Akira touched his head as he regenerated his bones because of his punch, which also made him bleed out badly. 

The man got serious because he now acknowledged Akira's strength. Akira stood up and also walked toward him with a serious face.

On the other hand, Kitsune and Selena were fighting the yellow-haired Mikadzuki.

Selena used her plant magic to catch him, but he was too fast for her. However, Kitsune wasn't, she caught him and struck him down with her claws. The man was annoyed and frustrated by these women, he then exploded, increasing his power excessively.

He jumped towards Kitsune and punched her, she blocked the attack and flew far. Selena used her "Helianthus Giganteus Scutum" As her shield to block his attack.

Kitsune stood up and jumped from the wall, she bashed him with her tail and so he crashed to the ground.

[PLANT MAGIC: TREE OF ALBONIIA]

She created a giant tree and the man was inside, locked and caged by the roots of the tree.

[PLANT MAGIC X FIRE MAGIC: INFERNUS TREE OF DEATH]

Kitsune and Selena both used their magic to burn the giant tree. The immense heat caused the statue that they prayed to be destroyed. The warriors looked at the massive beauty of the combination of the flower and the fox's magic.

The tree that was burned shone in the whole dungeon. The ceiling was destroyed by the tree and made the dungeon tremble.

The man that was inside was unconscious as his body was charred like charcoal. 

His power was somewhat similar to that of a commander and vice-captain, but now he was defeated and it was their victory.

Meanwhile, Akira was struggling to battle the last Mikadzuki...
