The Fox Goddess

Half a month quickly passed after the three of them successfully killed the Calamity Tundra Dragon and gained the recognition of Serene. All of them were still injured by the fight causing them to hold the real fight for and, and since that they now experienced how it is to fight a Star Lord Beast? they can prepare themselves more.

But they didn't expect a shock to happen after they had finally fully recovered.

When they fully recovered, they looked much more energised and livelier than before. Aria and Rory actually forbade them to train when they woke up causing them to be bored. The three became mischievous and tried to get out of the Mansion to secretly train, especially Katsumi who was the one who tried to escape the most out of all of them.

But when they were about to do it, they were stopped instantly by the two causing them to feel depressed, they even tried to fight their way out but they knew that they couldn't win against these two monsters. Even one Aria is enough to kill a dozen if not hundreds of the Calamity Tundra Dragon that they worked hard to kill.

That's their strength disparity.

But even though they gained a lot on that kill, when they first opened their eyes they were shocked to see Serene looking at them with a strange look on her face.

"You guys are still alive, that's good." Serene laughed.

They almost fell out of their bed when they heard Serene's words.

"Joking aside, I have a present for you guys." She then took out a large amount of Beast Mana Core, the numbers quickly exceeded in the thousand, and the greatest thing is that there are a lot of Demonic Beast Core there.

"Why would we need that?" Yumie asked.

"Silly, did you already forget that this is what you need to Rank Up to the Middle Tier of Demonic Beast." Serene flicked Yumie and Katsumi's head.

"But where did you get this?" Katsumi asked.

"Oh this? You guys were the one who killed all of these poor souls. Don't you remember the destruction that you did?" Serene said.

"But didn't you say that it was only a test?" Yumie said.

"Yes I did say that. BUT! It was only the Star Lord Beast that is nor real, as for these guys, they were real. Who said that you guys can make such a destruction?" Serene teased.

All of them blushed in embarrassment when they heard Serene.

"hahaha- about that."

"No worries."

"Now quickly absorb this. As for you Anna, I will give you something later." Serene turns to Anna which she replies with a nod.

Serene did Yumie and Katsumi dirty, previously they didn't need an absurd amount of Mana Core, but because they are linked with the system Serene can also hold their life so she tampered with it and changed the requirements. But Serene knows that this is for the better, so she just does it.

For Yumie she will now need 600 Demonic Beast Core and 600 Savage Beast Core, and for Katsumi it was the exact same. The two of them then began to suck off the Mana in the Cored quickly.

"For you I'll give you this." Serene took out something in her own Spatial Ring and gave something to Anna.

"What is this?" Anna asked while trying to examine the thing that Serene tossed her.

It was a Lotus Flower, and each petal was different from one another. There are 18 petals in it and from left to right it was colored from darker to brightest. Black being the Darkest and Golden Colour from the lightest.

"Oh that's a Divine Golden Soul Lotus, it's used for cultivating your Qi to make it even stronger or if you're lucky it can even ascend you to Overseer and the most is Peak Essence Lord."

Just as Serene blurted out those words words, the flower that Anna was holding began to emit a colored light that absolutely shocked Anna.

"It's a Yellow Rank!"

"Yes it is, so you better use it wisely. The way you absorb this flower successfully is by making the blackened colour petals to emit a Gold Light just like the brightest one there. If you do this you might be able to reach the Overseer Rank." Serene smiled.

As for Rory and Aria they were currently cultivating, naturally they were not left out by the gifts and they were currently using it to ascend to a higher Rank.

"Thank you so much." Anna bowed.

"Don't worry too much about it, I just hope that you can successfully win the heart of my daughter here. Even though it's difficult, I hope you won't give up. Serene actually already let Anna be with Yuki if that ever happened and Anna felt like it was her greatest day of all time.

"I will not let you down." Anna said with a red face."

Back to the present.

When their rest was finally done, they immediately went to Yuki's room and checked on her to see how she was doing. But they were greatly saddened that Yuki had no signs of waking up, even though they already knew this outcome, they couldn't help themselves but feel hope whenever they enter Yuki's room that they will find her sitting there and not laying down.

"Don't feel sad, Yuki will definitely wake up, don't worry." Serene's voice suddenly rang into the room.

"Yes!" They all shouted as their eyes glimmered in hope after they heard her.

"So, when will we finally start to kill a true Star Lord Beast?" Yumie asked, she wanted to end this quickly so that Yuki would finally wake up.

"Fufufu, you don't have to fight anymore. You guys already killed one." Serene then took out something in her sleeve that looked like a Beast Mana Core, but the power that it is releasing is quite powerful.

When Serene took out the Mana Core, the room suddenly became increasingly cold causing them to shiver.

"What do you mean? We don't remember killing a Star Lord Beast." Anna walked up and asked.

"Huh? You guys already forgot about it?" Serene smirked.

Then they remembered something that happened 1 month ago that happened before, and when they thought of that they shivered.

"Yo- you mean that was a - a real St- Star Lord Beast?" Yumie asked while she stuttered, all of them had a pale face.

"Of course it was real. I didn't want you guys to fight a fake Star Lord Beast because it would be useless. The reason for it is because it will be programmed by me, so every move that it does is controlled by me basically." Serene shrugged as if the matter was not that important.

"F*ck! we could've died that time." Katsumi broke out into cold sweat.

Anna's knees went weak when she heard Katsumi's words, she then looked out Yuki's sleeping figure before covering her mouth with her mouth to control her sobs.

'I could've died that time, and that means that I will never be able to see you again.' Anna was extremely overjoyed that she survived, everyone was.

"But why did you do that Miss Serene?" Ari asked after snapping out of her daze.

"I told you it will be useless, but the main reason is that you guys will grow much faster. You guys saw how you improved quickly when meeting death right? You guys will grow extremely fast when you bring out your full potential, and the only way to do that is to risk your life. That's why I asked you guys to take the test seriously, but even if you were close to death I will let these two make a move." Serene pointed at Aria and Rory who was clearly dumbfounded, they didn't refute Serene's words because they clearly knew that it was real.

A person can only bring its full potential at very dangerous moments, such as being close to death.

"Do you guys understand now?" Serene asked.

"Yes, we understand." All of them nodded and took Serene's words to heart.

"Good, then I'll start the process now to make my daughter better." She then looked at Yuki who was sleeping comfortably, if someone looked at Yuki right now they would definitely not be able to look away at her beauty.
