Chapter Seven: The Hunt for Power
The forest was alive with activity. Creatures of varying strengths roamed freely, unaware of the powerful duo that was now hunting them down. Crow, with his newly tamed Divine Fox, was ready to test its abilities against the weaker monsters of this world.
Crow smirked as he looked at his newly evolved companion. The Divine Fox—now at level 5, with its unimaginable stats and abilities—was more than ready for the challenge.
---
"Let's see how much power you really have," Crow said, a hint of excitement in his voice.
The fox let out a low growl, its blue eyes gleaming with anticipation. With its newfound strength, it was eager to show Crow what it could do.
They began walking deeper into the forest, looking for suitable targets. They didn't have to wait long.
A Pack of Dire Wolves—level 3 and level 4 beasts—appeared in the distance, their yellow eyes glowing in the dim light filtering through the trees. The pack was hungry, but as soon as they saw Crow and the fox, their instincts flared. They were ready to defend their territory.
Crow's smile only widened.

Fox's Epic Skill: Divine Firestorm
The fox's body glowed with golden light, and in an instant, it unleashed its Divine Firestorm.
A torrent of fiery energy erupted from its mouth, scorching the air as it rained down upon the pack of wolves. The flames consumed the entire area, turning the forest floor to ash as the wolves yelped in agony, their bodies instantly engulfed by the flames.

Crow looked at the fox, nodding in approval.
"You've got some serious firepower," Crow said, his voice filled with satisfaction.
The Divine Fox flicked its ears in acknowledgment, its body still radiating with energy. It was hungry for more.
---
Eye of Insight: Analyzing New Targets...
A Giant Boar (Level 6) appeared, its tusks gleaming in the low light of the forest. It snorted, sensing the presence of the duo.
The boar charged, its massive body plowing through the underbrush at a surprising speed.
Crow narrowed his eyes. This would be a good test of the fox's new abilities.
---
"Illusory Mirage," Crow commanded.
---
The fox's body shimmered for a moment, and then, in an instant, the Giant Boar was surrounded by illusory duplicates of the fox. The boar's wild charge became disoriented as it tried to target the real fox among the illusions.
The fox took the opportunity. It leapt high into the air, summoning its Celestial Tail. With a swish of its divine tails, the fox struck the boar multiple times, each blow landing with incredible precision and force.

The Giant Boar let out a roar, its massive tusks swiping at the illusions in frustration. It finally locked onto the real fox, charging at it with all its might.
But the fox was ready. It used its Time Warp ability, slowing down the boar's movement just enough for the fox to dodge effortlessly. The boar's charge missed, and the fox immediately retaliated, delivering a devastating blow to its side with a perfectly aimed strike from its celestial tails.

The Giant Boar collapsed, its body crumpling to the ground. The fox, though slightly winded from the fight, stood tall and proud.
Crow walked over, inspecting the fallen creature.
"Good job," Crow murmured. He could feel the power coursing through the fox. It wasn't just a Divine Beast now; it was a true powerhouse.
