Chapter 168 - Tamamo

[Tamamo's side]

Tamamo: ….

She stares at the artificial monster in front of her, Tsukuyomi.

Tamamo: I see… You truly were created with my cells. Your magic energy is just like mine…

Tsukuyomi: In that case, you should also know that you can't beat me. The bionics on my body increased the power, putting me above you…

Tamamo: But…

She had a serious expression, glaring at Tsukyomi, she was glaring back at Tamamo, before the ice was broken with her next words, while wearing an happy-go-lucky face.

Tamami: My tails are fluffier!

Tsukuyomi: Hmph… Just a stupid fox, after all. It seems like you'll need to feel some pain to make you acknowledge it.

Tsukuyomi: Also… There's one more attendee to this party that needs to be dealt with. I'll dispose of you quickly, then take care of him…

Tamamo: *Sigh* He's currently too much for you, even if all four of you would work as a team against him, as he is now, you are unable to win. "One should fear Doom, because it will bring ruin, without exceptions." Everyone who lived long enough knows that sentence. Have a taste of my tail!

Filling her tail with the power of earth, Tamamo slammed it into Tsukuyomi. However, it didn't do much damage to her, and said with an arrogant tone.

Tsukuyomi: Can I blow that tiny body away with a single attack?

Then she took a deep breath and roared, creating a wave of destruction. Tamamo held on her ground and pushed her arms in front of her to weakening the damage received.

Tamamo: I'll crush you with the power of the earth!

Filling her fist with the power of the earth, Tamamo slammed it into Tsukuyomi, sending her some steps back.

Tsukuyomi: My claws can pierce through your earth defenses!

She lashed out randomly her claws and fangs, causing some cuts and injuries to appear on Tamamo's body. She gritted her teeth and said.

Tamamo: This is my killer move! Nine Moons!

All nine of Tamamo's tails raced towards Tsukuyomi… But the damage she took was minimal.

Tsukuyomi: This is the power of the earth? It's awfully vulnerable, the Sinner could punch harder…

She raised her claw and swiped at Tamamo, who jumped over it and threw a kick on Tsukuyomi's face. Unfortunately, her strength wasn't enough to cause any big damage, and Tsukuyomi's other claw came at her, slapping her away.

Tamamo used her newly-acquired distance to use another attack.

Tamamo: Charge with the power of the moon… This is my final skill!

A laser of moonlight energy shoots off from the tip of Tamamo's tails.

The damage it did was considerable, but not enough to stop Tsukuyomi.

Tsukuyomi: I can even borrow the power of the earth…

Her magic caused a violent earthquake, and slammed onto Tamamo, leaving her really weakened in a crater on the wall.

Then Tamamo got out from the wall and dusted her clothes, as if nothing happened to her.

Tamamo: Hum hum…

Tsukuyomi: Have you finally realized that you're no match for me? Shall I deliver the final blow soon?

Tamamo: You wouldn't want to be late, would you? ...To Promestein's rebellion.

Tsukuyomi: ...How do you know about that?

Tamamo: I've been decoding CDs from one of Promestein's laboratories, and an half-dead Marco could surprisingly do a big job. In absolute secret, she has been developing an anti-angel weapon.

From the very start, Promestein has been preparing to rebel against Ilias. You Next Dolls and the Chimeric Beasts were only created for that purpose…

Tsukuyomi: Well, that's about it…. Our main purpose was to destroy you Four Heavenly Knights. But after that, we were also developed to participate in war against the Heavens.

Tamamo: Hmm… Internal strife about what happens next before even finishing your current fight? You Heavenly fools haven't changed at all since the Great Monster Wars.

Repeating the mistakes of the past, and suffering numerous defeats because of it? Neither Ilias nor the other angels seem to pay attention to history…

Tsukuyomi: Great Monster Wars? They were a thousand of years ago… You actually were a part of them?

Tamamo: Well, before I finish you, I'll admit that you're strong. I was also hoping to save this until the fight with Ilias, but you're leaving me no other choice…

Tsukuyomi: ...Trying to bluff at this point? Do you think I'll go on the defense and maybe slip away? You don't have anything left. I was made from your cells, I know best.

Tamamo opened her fan, and let out only terrifying green eyes.

Tamamo: No, you're the one who doesn't understand. You're just an inferior copy… I pity you… A sacrificial pawn, without even knowing it.

Tsukuyomi: I'm tired of listening to your bluffs…

Tamamo: *Deep breath* I ask thee, eternal time…

Tsukuyomi: That's… Alice's Word of Dispel? Why are you using that?

Tamamo: ...My body, shackled by the powers of creation, beseech thee.

Tsukuyomi had a revelation and stuttered, shocked.

Tsukuyomi: N...No! Y… You can't truly be!

Tamamo: Return my true body to me--

A dazzling light filled the tower… And an incredible magic power descends on Tamamo. Revealing a 18 years old version of herself

Tsukuyomi backed away with sweat dripping from her face.

Tsukuyomi: W… What the… What is that power? W… When you were sealed by the Six Ancestors' Great Seal? No… Are you one of-

Tamamo smirked and opened her fan.

Tamamo: I am one of the Six Ancestors, Tamamo no Mae. One of the original six monsters, the beautiful golden fur Kitsune…

Tsukuyomi: S… Six Ancestors!? Why didn't Promestein tell me!? If that's true, then I'm just a…

Tamamo: ...A sacrifice. Oh pitiful pawn, I shall annihilate you… Disappear!

She used her tails to release crimson flames that burned everything. Disintegrating any trace of Tsukuyomi.

Tamamo: …A terrible miscalculation. Forcing me to call forth my true body here… Now I have to…

Tamamo's body started to shrink… The incredible power fled, as if being sucked up a drain.

Tamamo: .... Pomf!

Yao and Nanabi reached the tower to assist Tamamo.

Yao: M… Master Tamamo!

Tamamo: ...Fluffy Kitsune. Fluffy fluffy.

Nanabi: She exhausted her magic power, and regressed back in mind and spirit… Us fellow members of the Kitsune family needs to combine our power, and deliver it to her!

Yao: I'll manage the CD replacement instead. Nanabi, quickly get all of the Kitsunes together!

Nanabi: Yes! Master Tamamo, please hang on for a moment…

Nanabi quickly left to gather the rest of the Kitsunes together to restore Tamamo's power…
