Reborn as a Snake! (1.) [COMPLETED]

14. - Snake VS Kitsune.

What the hell? She even knows about 'Devourer'? Just how long has she been following me?

Wait.. could it be that the feeling of being watched I got earlier, was her observing me?
But if so... How didn't I notice her?

Analysis suggests that the Individual you're facing possesses a skill that allows her to eliminate her presence completely.

It's that voice again...
I'm assuming that's 'Mage' activating sub-consciously.

But that's besides the point - she has a skill that allows her to eliminate her presence completely?
Sounds similar to my 'Presence Erase' skill... only better.

I looked back towards the girl - I had this strong urge to ask her why she was attacking me, however I was unable to force any words out of my mouth.

'Would she even bother answering..?'

I thought, before quickly dodging another attack of that fire whip she used earlier.
She began to once again throw out a flurry of whip attacks towards me, each one getting faster and faster every time.

'I can dodge them.. but for how long..?'

I thought, leaping through shadows.
While my Magical Energy was extraordinary high, it wasn't infinite. Every time I used my skill 'Shadow Manipulation' it drained my Magical Energy by a small portion (4-8 points).

While it would take a long while for me to drain all my Magical Energy, I myself wasn't sure just how long I could keep going before getting bored.

This game of her attacking and me dodging went on for a small while.
Her attacks were relentless, so finding a way to grab an opening or an attack of my own was kinda difficult.

?: "If you're just going to dodge forever, you may as well surrender now."

She stated, stopping her whip attacks.
I landed a small distance away from her, staring at her with a serious, yet rather confused gaze.

?: "Seriously..? This is what killed my sister?"

She said with slight anger and a tiny bit of disgust in her voice.

'Man.. she does not sound happy at all... And what's this whole "I killed her sister" thing about?'

I thought before sighing.

"Why do you think I killed your sister?"

I asked.
The girl seemed surprised by my ability to speak, however exhaled a moment later.

?: "So you can speak... Clears throat. It's simple. I was told that a Serpent killed her using some sort of Shadow related skill."

She replied, before looking down, clenching her hands into fists.

?: "And then that serpent apparently devoured her soul.."

She looked at me furiously.

Wait... Don't tell me that she's talking about that Sixtails I killed?
Was that thing her sister?
It couldn't be - right? They look nothing a like!

I gulped before trying to make myself appear more 'friendly'.

"I did kill a Sixtails the other day, but-"

Before I could finish, the girl launched a powerful cross made of blue flames at me.
I just barely managed to dodge by diving into my own shadow.

'Bitch! She didn't even let me finish!'

I thought before leaping back out of the shadow.

?: "You just confirmed your crime, you Dirty Inferior Monster!"
