Chapter 620: One Fox Army.
The thirty behind them had worse light combat attires, wielding all kinds of melee weapons. They were quick, built to take advantage of the openings created by the frontline while taking care of the flanks.
Further behind, where Kali stood, another fifteen archers with light dresses held two types of bows. Ten of them had short bows, and the other five had longbows. Short bow dryads focused on the immediate and close range, while long bow dryads took care of distance threats.
Finally, the last twenty-five wore leafy dresses and held a beautiful coiling staff. They were divided into five groups, spread around depending on their function. The healer, defensive, and restraining dryads were on the frontline, mixed with the melees. While in the long bow rank were the last ten, who used long-range offensive skills and enhancing skills.
It was an army built for combat, and Kali had expert control over it.
The Devil Smashing Ape senior frowned and didn\'t attack right away. He was observing the formation of the troops and their composition while using strengthening skills on himself. \'The general feeling is not that dangerous… Those staff-wielding dryads don\'t seem to be melee users. Their attires are too light for that. I\'ll have to keep an eye on them.\'
Kali didn\'t stand still and also used her own enhancement skills on herself and her dryads. "Senior, I recommend not giving me more time. [Three-Tailed Nature Fox Aura], [Whispering Blossom Essence Dance]."
Countless white petals flew around Kali as a gentle green aura enveloped her body.
The constantly created petals sunk into the dryads, and the pressure the army gave deepened as their strength increased.
The senior\'s face sank, and he attacked right away. "[Mountain Slam]."
He flashed forward and punched with his muscular, long arm covered in fur.
Five of the armored dryads stepped forward and shared the burden with an innate skill.
BANG!
They took five steps back, their shields cracking at the brute strength of the Epoch Core cultivator.
The elder saw that and nodded. \'I can break through.\'
However, when the senior was about to punch again and damage those dryads further, another wall of shields appeared before his body.
BANG!
The new five dryads also took five steps back, but the senior realized that the previous semi-damaged ones were completely healed and back in formation. \'Huh?\'
However, he didn\'t have the luxury to observe closely.
Kali waved her long sleeve, and the ranged dryads attacked in continuous waves.
With perfect coordination, a wave of arrows shot toward him, enveloped in green light, while the floor below him ruptured as vines tried to entangle his limbs.
He hastily jumped back, but once his body left the ground, Kali and the longbow dryads attacked. "[Fox Root Entanglement]."
The five mighty arrows zoomed slightly above him, aiming at his escape routes, while ten times more powerful roots accelerated toward him.
Usually, Kali would take the initial part of a fight to summon her army, but since she was given the chance, the most challenging part was done without effort, so the only thing left was overwhelming her opponent.
The ape-man chose to receive the arrows instead of getting caught by the vines, so he flew upward and used his immensely powerful flesh to withstand the strikes.
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
He grunted, but with a low shout and burst of aura, the lodged arrows burst into splinters.
Kali wouldn\'t get her prey easily escape. "[Fatal Parasitic Thorn Field], [Life Draining Spores]."
The ground was filled with expansive thorn fields, and the air above them was covered by a cloud of purplish-white spores.
The white fog swallowed the elder, and his instincts shouted for him to escape it. "[Mountain Ape Defense]!"
A dark brown glow surrounded his body, and he flew upward, bursting through into the air.
He looked down and saw Kali waving her left tail. "[Nature Fox First Tail: Nascent Life]."
Around Kali, young plant lifeforms with leafy wings and swords appeared.
"[Nature Fox Second Tail: Blooming Life]."
A massive aura of life energy enveloped them, making their frames grow into the shape of beautiful adult women.
The ape-man dodged as the long-range troops shot at him continuously. \'This is frustrating. How do I break through? Now she is summoning even more creatures!\'
He decided to barrel down and try to break through using his strongest skills forcefully.
Kali saw it through her veil, and her lips below her veil arched. "[Nature Fox Third Tail: Developing Life]."
Kali waved her tail again, and the life aura thickened, enveloping not only the ten flying plant lifeforms she summoned but all of her army.
Their skin became smooth, their bodies perfected, and their strength multiplied.
The ape-man was suddenly met with a wall of shields, and his eyes widened. \'They can all fly!?\'
However, he punched without holding back. "[Fist Intent Level Three], [Devil Smashing Fist]!"
BOOOM!
The wall-line broke, but ten dryads wielding different weapons charged at him rapidly through the space he created.
He continued toward Kali, punching extremely quickly and smashing the dryads so hard that they flew backward.
Kali looked on calmly, her lips parting again. "[Life Intent], [Growth Intent], [Evolution Intent]."
The life energy around her was so thick that plant life bloomed and spread hundreds of meters around the fox lady.
The plant creatures\' eyes glowed with green, their internal structure solidifying further, and their strength increased a few notches.
The Devil Smashing Elder felt the increase in difficulty and was stopped in his tracks.
Countless vines appeared and tried tangling around him the instant his movements slowed down while arrows and green energy bolts shot in his direction.
Kali spoke calmly. "Sorry, senior. The moment you chose to give me a move, the battle was over. [Healing Life Aura]."
Another wide area range enhancement followed, adding fast regeneration to the already sturdy dryads and flying fairies.
The one hundred and ten creatures attacked with intricate patterns, making the senior come to a stop and focus on defense.
Not a single creature had died even after five minutes of fighting.
Kali chanted slowly, without any haste, as if she was taking a stroll. "[Spirit Overgrowth], [Life Enhancement: Verdant Core]."
One of the shield dryads roared as her height multiplied, becoming a massive eight-meter giant.
The ape senior saw the towering shield slamming toward him and punched back like before.
BOOM!
This time, he saw that the giant Dryad only took a step back, and before he turned toward others, she was attacking him again. Moreover, the glowing green eyes gave him a strange feeling, as if they had consciousness. \'Huh?\'
Kali said softly. "Those skills give my summons spiritual consciousness and a large boost in strength. But… we are not done yet, [Fox Flower Land], [Innate Skill: Flower World Domain]."
The ape-man\'s face became dark. \'Even more boosts!?\'
Besides the white petals surrounding the battle, countless beautiful flowers bloomed around Kali, and the world around her seemed to fall under her influence.
[Flower World Domain] created a more powerful healing domain with boosting properties, adding to the [Healing Life Aura].
[Fox Flower Land], on the other hand, summoned many different-colored flowers. Then, her multiple intents made everything else grow and develop quicker, making a small hurricane of flowers that covered the battlefield.
There were different colored flowers, and each color had one function. These were the types of flowers: white flowers covered wounds and stopped the bleeding, red ones absorbed the blood in the surroundings to grow into small red flower spirits that attached themselves to the ape-man and exploded, yellow ones blocked attacks, pink ones attacked themselves to allies and got absorbed, giving them a small boost, and finally purple ones carried poisons within them.
There was another black variant, but that was a parasitic flower she didn\'t want to use in a friendly spar. The effects were very malicious, after all.
The parasitic roots thorn field she summoned before was of a similar nature, but one could see it more easily. In the small hurricane of flowers Kali summoned, spotting the black flowers would be difficult.
The ape-man quickly fell into a disadvantage and began suffering continuous blows and attacks.
Kali saw that he didn\'t surrender, so she spoke. "After this skill, I hope you surrender, or it will become difficult for you to survive."
The man frowned and saw a massive energy rush swirling toward Kali.
"[Life Origin Three Tailed Fox Transformation]."
With a more profound wave of life energy and a green glow, a massive fox appeared on the battlefield.
Its soft, light green fur reflected her deep connection with nature, as the enchanting pink and golden patterns across its length gave it an enthralling aura. The elegant fox eyes looked over at the Devil Smashing Elder with a soft yet aloof glance.
Then, her bloodline aura spread around, making everyone feel their hearts shuddering.
The size of the fox was a tremendous fifty meters in height, with a massive length of one-hundred-and-seventy-five meters, counting the very long and fluffy tails waving behind her. The size category was smaller than Cecile and Yasenia but a step higher than Ebirah and Sierra.
The hill-sized creature suddenly appeared, shrouding the man in her shadow, and then she spoke. "Surrender, senior."
The nature-like soft voice was like spring water trickling down the mountain, with a calming quality that relaxed the core being of all living beings. However, it also had an underlying power, like that same spring water gained when it became a waterfall down the mountain.
The plant creatures stopped fighting the man and flew around the giant fox, making the size comparison stand out. The human-sized dryads barely compared to the size of one eye of the fox.
The senior took in the sight and sighed. He looked at his injured body and nodded. "Alright, I agree. This is my loss."
Kali gently smiled in her beast form and returned to her human shape after another green wave of energy. "I would\'ve loved fighting the elder without an advantage, but it was an interesting battle nonetheless."
The man shook his head. "I underestimated you, and I was punished accordingly. Well fought."
Kali nodded and flew to Yasenia\'s side to receive her hugs and kisses.
The fox lady chuckled as her veil was half-lifted, and her dragoness trapped her mouth with her soft and creamy sweet lips.
Yasenia complimented. "Honey, you were outstanding. You didn\'t even move from your starting position!"
The other girls suddenly realized, and their eyes widened. Andrea nodded. "Right after the summoning, Kali didn\'t even take a single step."
Kali laughed. "If the opponents gave Angel a chance to move first, the fight would end in that move. Moreover, if I can\'t do something like this after being trained so harshly these last four years, I don\'t know where to put my face."
Yasenia left Kali to talk with the others and looked at the Devil Smashing Elder. "Here, the pills."
The man caught the pill jar and smiled. "Thank you, lady Yasenia."
Yasenia nodded. "The gifts have been prepared. I hope your power is happy with it when they arrive."
The man nodded. "I also expect our powers to continue being allies. Farewell."
Then, he summoned a flying sword and sped into the distance.
Yasenia took a deep breath and sighed through her nose. \'I was a bit nervous, but my dears handled it expertly.\'
She looked at the five of them, and her eyes softened. \'They\'ve grown so much.\'
Then, Yasenia descended on the stage, prepared for the entry exam, and spoke aloud, her voice booming across the gathering area. "Now that there are no more distractions let\'s start with the test."
