The four tailed fox made a conversation to distract Sky from the illusions. She constantly spoke of things she knew. She even shared her and Artha's past with Sky.
"We belonged to a fox race from the forty ninth floor. Our mom used to be a level eight monster. She was a territory lord of a small place in the forty ninth floor."
"She did not ascend to level nine because it would then decrease her level each time she killed her opponents. So she stayed at level eight and gave birth to me and Artha."
"Artha had always been a genius, at the age of just three, she had already reached level three. Our mother praised her a lot."
"She was the gem of our territory, loved by everyone and revered for her talent. This made her a little naughty and all she did was bring trouble to mother."
"Once, she actually stole our race's secret treasure and lost it. This angered most of our foxes but they could not blame her. They thought it was their fault that Artha became so mischievous."
"So they started being strict with her. Even then, Artha did not change her trouble inducing behaviour. She would constantly travel outside the territory and bring a load of problems to mother."
"Mother just loves her too much, so Artha gets out of problems without any punishment every time."
"There was one time when Artha killed a son of a level nine monster because he tried to touch her. She even burned his body as an example of the consequences of touching her."
"The level nine monster came up to our territory for an explanation. He demanded mother to hand over Artha and kneel down to apologise to him."
"But too bad, he was all show and no strength. Mother killed him in three moves. She then praised Artha for killing the level nine monster's son. This made Artha even more mischievous and unrestrained."
"But the elder foxes of the territory did not agree with mother. They told that Artha was getting more and more mischievous as the days passed, and one day, she would bring the territory a catastrophe that our mother can't handle."
"They wanted to control Artha, but mother was just too overprotective. She was the strongest of the territory, so she opposed the elders and gave Artha full freedom."
"Artha awakend her invisibility innate ability when she reached level six, and her blood control when she reached level eight."
"She also told that she would be able to open a new innate ability if she reaches level nine. But our territory's elders thought she was being mischievous again."
"After all, they have never heard of anyone who had three Innate abilities. Artha was angry at them for not believing her, so she started concentrating on increasing her level so that she could prove them wrong."
"Finally when Artha turned sixteen, she turned into a level nine monster. She was greater than mother in terms of level."
"But a new innate ability did not appear, or that's what Artha said, the elders just discarded it as one of her pranks.
"Once she reached level nine, the elders started talking about making her 'mate' so that they could get better offsprings and make her stay in the territory. This way she would not be able cause trouble."
"But Artha did not want to mate, so she opposed the elders. Mother also supported her and elders could not do anything to Artha."
"Since we opposed Artha mating, the elders proposed a deal. This deal was to make Artha create her own territory and expand their race."
"Hump! They were just too set on sending Artha away to stop her mischievousness from bringing them more trouble."
"Mother first opposed it strongly because Artha had just became a level nine monster and if she left to create her own territory, she would have to fight and kill. This would lead to her absorbing the opponent's soul and thus reduce her level."
"But the elders said she could take the new born generation from the territory and have me as her protection."
"I was level eight at that time, so mother allowed the elders plan. But she was still worried, so she sent us to the first floor where there would not be any powerful enemies."
"Too bad, as soon as Artha and I reached the first floor, the first floor was attacked by the demons."
"In order to protect us, Artha killed a lot of demons which made her level fall to level four."
"Oh! Right! You don't know about the demons right?" The four tailed fox forgot that Sky did not know about the demons.
Sky nodded. Demons? What demons? He thought.
"Well, you know how we monsters are mutations of humans right." The four tailed fox explained.
"Yeah!" Sky nodded.
"Demons are like humans. They come from a different planet and like us they also have seven dungeons in their planet."
"But unlike us, they have already conquered their heavens and reached hundredth floor in this era."
"You can say that they are a race just like humans but from a different planet. They are just stronger, smarter and more unified than the monsters."
"What? There are more dungeons!" Sky found it hard to comprehend. How can any more dungeons appear in this world? Aren't there only seven dungeons.
"Well, you will understand it in the future as long as you grow stronger. It's useless for the current you to learn about it."
"Anyway, demons attacked the level one floor and this led to massive damage. We only survived because Artha found the secret place that is under the bed in the fox territory."
"We hid there for a month, and only when reinforcements from the higher floors reached here and the demons retreated did we come out."
"The whole of level one was ravaged and monsters from level two and level three came down to occupy the free land."
"This happened four years ago. Then I reached level nine since we don't have any enemies in the first floor."
"One day Artha told me that she was going to explore the space beyond the secret place. I tagged along as I was worried about her safety. She left a blood clone in the territory and we entered the secret space under the bed."
"But when we opened that door in the secret place, we were in the eightieth floor of the Violet Dungeon."
"We were immediately surrounded by the heaveners and almost got killed. I had to kill the heaveners to save Artha and my level dropped."
"Luckily, the heaveners that surrounded us were of low level and the highest level was just level eight. So I killed everyone who surrounded us."
"My level dropped to four by the time everyone were dead. Knowing that we cannot explore this territory more, we returned to the place where the door was present."
"But suddenly we were ambushed by a level nine heavener. He was hiding at the place where we came from and we did not notice it until he smashed his fist at Artha."
Saying till this, the four tailed fox started laughing. Sky was confused by her behaviour. A level nine monster attacked Artha and she was laughing.
"I don't know when she did it. But all the monster hit was a blood clone. She even fooled me into believing that the blood clone was her real self."
"She then used her blood control and killed the level nine heavener. I only got to know about what happened after I returned to the palace."
"Artha told me that she had awakened a new ability when she reached level nine. But she was too angry at those elders for asking her to mate that she hid her new innate ability from them."
"This new innate ability allowed her to change locations with her blood clone. As soon as we were surrounded by the heaveners, she switched positions with the clone back in the palace."
"Well, Yeah! She was still mischievous and made her big sister face all the harm while she was safe in the palace."
"Honestly, sometimes I just want to steal her talents. Don't you think that she is too amazing?" The four tailed fox asked sky with a slight smile.
"Yeah! She is amazing." Sky truly understood now. He was not the only special one in this world. He was not the best, nor the strongest. Only his left hand gave him the confidence to reach the peak of this world.
His mood temporarily became good as he thought of how amazing Artha really was.
