Brave World, I report to the police station in red at the beginning

If it really is a sacred tree, Xiaojun would still respect it a bit...but this little guy in front of him.

I'm really sorry, but with this height and body shape, even if I want to be more respectful, there will always be a strange sense of incongruity.

"Ah... because it's so useful, I forgot that this posture has no dignity at all except for arousing others' desire to protect it."

The little fox laughed twice, and under the stimulation of the divine power around it, the clothes on its body grew along with its body.

The adult form of Inari God appeared before Xiaojun.

"you……"

Facing the Inari God like this, Xiaojun finally felt the sacred aura coming from the person in front of him. It was a strange feeling that made him not want to be an enemy just by touching him, and his mood was calmed down...

The Inari God Uga placed his hand on her shoulder, and even her tense body couldn't help but relax.

"Don't worry so much. I won't do anything to harm you... By the way, I have obtained his consent for what I am doing now. If I say so, you should feel more at ease, right?"

Wouldn't it have been better if you had said this earlier?

Xiaojun let down his guard a little... Of course, only a little.

After all, Li Mengyu isn't really that reliable.

“Well, although I said I came to look for you, I didn’t show up in front of you in this manner just to look for you. What I want to see… is the guy hiding here with you.”

The Inari God Uga pointed his slender finger at Xiaojun's chest.

"What are you talking about..."

Just as Xiaojun was about to open his mouth to refute, he felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest.

Then, a ball counting 240 appeared in front of her, and her body also underwent some changes with the appearance of the ball.

Fluffy black fox ears peeked out from its head and a tail of the same color poked out from behind.

His pupils turned golden, and the brave warrior's outfit he had been wearing also changed, with an elegant black and red dress replacing the original one.

After all the changes were completed, 240 became 239, and the number continued to decrease as time passed.

"This is... an elf!?"

Chapter 188: A long time ago, there was——

In Xiaojun's world, the power called emblem has never been used, or it may be said that it does not exist at all.

The brave armor, which is impressive only by its different effects and defensive performance, cannot withstand the increasing number of increasingly powerful Vertexes.

In order to gain an almost absolute advantage in the battle with Vertex, what is relied on is not those things, but the power called elves that resides in the body of almost every hero, which is often called the "hero's trump card."

As long as the power of the elves residing in the body is activated, the hero's strength will be increased several times in a short period of time, and he will also gain the special abilities of the elves residing in the body.

Just like the elven power called the Seven Immortals that once existed in Xiaojun's body, it split into multiple clones.

As long as all the clones are not destroyed at the same time, the clones can recover and be reborn indefinitely.

When activating the power of the elves, each clone can be said to be the original body, and each original body can also be said to be a clone.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that in the previous world, she would always use the elf power that should have been her trump card early on.

Because - Xiaojun is a very gentle person. She thinks using her own strength as a meat shield is the best choice. In order to protect her companions, she will always use the power of the elves without hesitation at the moment the battle begins.

The round ball that appeared on her chest was a timer that told the brave warrior who used the power of the elves the maximum time her body could endure.

Since there is such a powerful force, then using this power is naturally not without cost.

As time goes by, the power of the elves used will place a serious burden on the hero's body. Once a certain limit is reached, it is very likely that the hero's body will collapse before defeating the enemy.

The spherical timer exists to remind the brave how much time is left.

If it was just a physical burden, it would be fine. At that time, they received assistance from all four countries. In addition, the frequency of vertex attacks was not very frequent. In most cases, any wound could be healed slowly.

But the more frequently the power of the elves is used, the more it will affect the spirit of the hero.

No one can understand the specific impact better than Xiaojun.

After all, she committed a mistake that she could not easily forgive herself for even today.

However, after coming to this world, the spirit in her body named Seven Gods seemed to have disappeared. Even though she got her weapons and armor back, she could no longer unleash the power of the spirit in her body like before.

She even thought at one point that she had lost her elf power, but what was happening to her now... didn't seem to be the case.

Fox ears, fox tail, and that familiar counter.

Everything told her that she had completed the stimulation of the elves' power.

But why?

It turned out that it was not the seven warriors who were at the forefront, but an unprecedented elven power.

Could it be that, like Takashima-san, she actually has a more powerful spirit in her body in addition to the original spirit?

In a battle that she still doesn't want to recall, she lost her companions.

In her memory, Takashima Yuna, in a state of extreme anger, awakened a more powerful spiritual power called "Shuten-doji" in addition to her own "Ichimokuren".

But it also caused very serious physical damage. For her, the chain of all sadness and pain started from that day.

Xiaojun raised his white palm with slightly longer nails, and felt the familiar but more powerful force lingering within his body.

"why?"

If this power could have been used earlier... then would it be possible that Qiuzi and Xing... wouldn't have to suffer such pain?

Since the power originally resides in your body, it should appear earlier!

Although he had gained even more powerful strength, Xiaojun's first reaction was disgust with his own power, which even the Inari God Uka did not expect.

"Many, many painful things must have happened to this child."

Even if he didn't know the past of the little county in front of him, Inari God Uka could still come to this conclusion.

Divine power was surging on her palms as her eyes fell on the person's ever-decreasing timer. She had a hunch that when the time got down to around 100, some bad changes would occur to the girl.

The divine power was slowly transferred into the girl's body, and the numbers on the counter that were originally decreasing suddenly stopped, and there was absolutely no sign of them continuing to decrease.

"In this way, I won't have to worry about your body being unable to withstand this force for the time being."

The gentle and soft voice completely eliminated the remaining hostility in Xiaojun.

Since he had received a favor, Xiaojun was about to express his gratitude, but he found that no matter what, he couldn't open his lips.

No, it wasn't just her lips, her body seemed to be out of control.

She could only watch from a first-person perspective as she slapped away the hand of the Inari God that was on her shoulder.

"You're still the same as before, you just like to do some unnecessary things."

The voice that came out of his mouth was Xiaojun's own, but for some reason, the tone became a little shrill.

Inari God seemed to have anticipated such a situation and didn't care about the change in Xiaojun's tone at all.

"Ah, I told you I couldn't be wrong... I smelled your scent the first time I saw her, you stinky fox."

It seemed as if the thing occupying his current body was an old acquaintance of Inari God, and his tone was slightly intimate when he spoke such words.

"They are all foxes. It seems that no matter where you are from... you can't change your foul mouth."

"Xiaojun" supported his cheek with his palm lazily.

"Don't talk nonsense, I brush my teeth every day."

The Inari statue didn't understand the hint of sarcasm in her words, and solemnly declared that he paid great attention to personal hygiene.

"...Really, I don't know what to say to you."

"Xiaojun" sighed, as if he had gotten used to the crazy and stupid look of the Inari God in front of him.

"If you have anything to say, please say it now. As you can see... I am already dead. Now I am just relying on the breath you provide to chat with you for a while."

"A dead fox would still bar its teeth at the person its host likes?"

"...You should know that I have no ill feelings towards him. I just don't like people like that."

"Of course I know... What you hate most is this kind of person who has a lot of smells around him but doesn't realize it."

Inari God wanted to rub Kogori's ears, but Kogori dodged him.

She sighed helplessly and spoke slowly.

"Speaking of which, a long, long time ago, there was a..."

Chapter 189: Fox Demon's Parents

A long, long time ago, there was a giant monster that was transformed from a fox.

She is good at bewitching people and transforming herself into a stunningly beautiful woman. She has bewitched the emperor more than once, disturbed the world's situation, and brought disaster to the country and the people.

It is the demon that brings national disaster.

However, before he completed his plan to steal the country, he was discovered by the descendant of the legendary great Onmyoji Ampei Haruaki, also an Onmyoji, Ampei Taichin, who was identified as the "White-faced, Golden-haired Nine-tailed Fox".

Although he was able to escape by revealing his true form at the critical moment, he was eventually besieged by 50 pursuers, as well as thousands of Yin-Yang masters, monks, and magicians. In the end, 20 people were sacrificed. All the demon conquerors present exhausted their lifelong skills and launched the magic arrows of Master Jianzhen, and finally killed him.

Even if it was killed, the body of the nine-tailed fox turned into a huge poisonous stone, poisoning all living creatures nearby.

The poisonous stone was later called the "Killing Stone".

Fighting against enemies like this, causing endless harm even after death, was something that even the former Ghost King of Oeyama had never experienced.

And at this moment, the elf living in Xiaojun's body is the big monster from the past.

Although she is a monster, she also has her own name, Tamamonomae.

That name was not given to her by later generations, but was the name she got from her adoptive parents when she was still young.

"Come to think of it, wasn't your hair white before? It even had a little bit of gold edges, it was so beautiful... How did it become like this now?"

Inari God relied on his current height advantage. Even if the "Xiaojun" in front of him was unwilling, he could not avoid the palm of Inari God touching his ear.

"It's because this body is too weak... I can't fully utilize my power, so I can only appear in this form."

"Xiaojun", or Tamamonomae muttered, and the tail behind him shook twice. There should have been 9 tails, but only one was visible on this body.

Even if all potential is squeezed out, only three can be summoned. Compared with the almost omnipotent ability in the past, the difference is not that big.

As for why Inari God is familiar with her...just think of it as they are both foxes and have met each other a few times.

The main reason is that Inari God is a very outgoing guy.

At this moment, the two foxes were looking at each other. One was a god, and the other was a big monster with a very bad reputation.

This is really, I don't know what to say to start it.

"Ah~ I didn't know until I touched it that it felt so good."

But now the Inari God didn't look like a god at all. He just relied on his mature body to rub Tamamonomae's ears madly and uttered such an exclamation.

"…Don't you have one too? Why don't you touch your own!"

Inari God gave a look that said "you don't understand".

"How can touching yourself be as pleasurable as touching someone else?"

The tone was quite matter-of-fact, which was unpleasant.

"..."

Tamamonomae gritted her teeth. Really, she had already told her that she didn't have much time left, but this guy was still doing these meaningless things... It was so annoying.

"So, what exactly do you want to do by calling me out? If you say it's the child's problem, my remaining consciousness will not have any effect on the child. At most, there will be a little side effect, but it should be considered a reward for her."

Tamamonomae could no longer bear it, so she slapped away Inari's hand that looked like it was going to pull out all the hair on her ears, and spoke like this.

Inari God grabbed his slapped hand and showed regret on his face.

"I know that... and I don't have any purpose. I just want to take a look... I just want to chat with my old friends."

"..."

Although it is nonsensical, it is within Tamamonomae's expectations... Even if this guy does something like this, it won't be surprising.

"What is there to talk about? Gods and monsters... You actually said we are friends. If it were a few hundred years ago, people would probably laugh their heads off... Even if we are now comrades on the same front, monsters and gods are still different. As monsters, we will become fuel for the heroes and serve as their strength... And you gods..."
