I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Shaman shook her head hearing the sounds that came out of the elf's mouth and had no idea what to make of it.

"Hmm as expected, no one bothers learning the ancient tongue anymore." The elf wasn't surprised by Shaman's weird reaction and found it amusing to watch.

"Tch, whatever, it isn't like you will be alive much longer." Deciding to not care about the being possessing the elf, Shaman covered her sword in stardust.

"Elysia, Let's go." Shaman pat Elysia, who growled and started to charge toward the elf.

"Useless." The elf slashed his sword down, sending a purple light in the shape of an arc at Shaman and Elysia.

"Heh." Shaman smirked and, using the stardust on her sword, opened a portal that led behind the elf, sending ice spikes through it while also dodging the purple arc sent by the elf.

"What?" The elf did not expect the fox girl in front of him to have such magic and was unable to dodge the spikes.

Ice spikes pierced the elf's body keeping him in place and allowing Elysia to get an attack in. Biting the bottom half of the elf's body, Elysia ripped it clean off, the flames coating her mouth preventing the elf from healing once more.

"Damn pests!" The elf gritted its teeth and cursed how weak his body was, as although it had high attack it was extremely weak to Elysia's flames.

The elf now floated in the air with purple fog keeping it afloat, gritting his teeth as he was running out of options to fight against the two foxes.

"Looks like you are just talk." Shaman at first felt nervous facing what seemed to be a demon possessing a body, but after fighting it for a brief moment it seemed to be greatly weakened.

"If it wasn't for this stupid body you would have been dead in a few breaths." The demon was getting aggravated, but it was unable to tap into the power of the sword as most of its energy went to keeping him alive.

"Such a shame. And here I thought you would be tougher. The elf before was much more of a threat." Shaman, feeling confident about defeating the elf, couldn't help but throw some insults at it.

"You will pa-." The demon was about to throw another attack, but purple lightning struck him from behind and, shortly after, slashes of wind took off his arms.

"Shaman! Get Elysia to attack!" Clara had come flying in with Kiruya. Seeing how weak the demon is, they hoped they could seal it back into the sword.

"Elysia go!" Patting her once again, flames began to swirl in her mouth and with a roar she shot her blood-red flames at the elf. His body was engulfed in flames, leaving only a core that was made out of a sort of crystal.

"Kiruya, let me down." Clara wanted to get to the core as the demon was still present in it and needed to be put back in the sword.

Kiruya nodded her head and let go of Clara, letting her fall to the ground.

Rolling on the ground, Clara picked up the core and as soon as she did felt the pain in her head amplify.

'Ah, so this is the little demon. Now let me take control for a moment.'

Having made physical contact allowed the demon to form a connection with Clara, as her being a demon as well would allow him to fight much more efficiently.

'Like hell I would let you.' Pushing through the pain she walked to the sword that was still in the grip of the detached arm.

'Don't be stubborn and accept your calling!' The demon tried to force his way into Clara's head, but struggled to make any progress as it felt like a barrier was stopping any further control.

Lifting the sword off the ground, Clara pinned the core up against the hilt and infused her mana into the small sigil at the bottom.

Black tendrils came out of the sword grabbing on to the core that held the demon's soul.

'You bit-.' Before he could finish speaking, his soul was sucked back into the sword and the core it took control of turned into dust.

[Quest complete]

Shaman got the completion message and knew the battle with the elf was over. They had finally cleared the first floor.

Clara fell to her knees, all tension draining out of her body as the pain she felt was suddenly alleviated.

"Phew, it's over." Although she did not know for sure it would work, she knew there was a way to seal the soul back in the sword.

However, not everything was over as Elysia was still in her fox form and seeing Clara, she almost attacked her.

"OI! Calm down." Shaman, being the only person Elysia would listen to, managed to soothe her urges, eventually allowing her to return back to normal. With all the threats gone, the skill automatically began to deactivate.

Shaman quickly jumped off and prepared to catch a knocked out Elysia as she couldn't imagine she would be conscious after such a drastic transformation.

Silver and Kiruya also came down to the ground as finally the fight was over. Silver felt bad for not being able to help much, but in the end things turned out okay.

Elysia was close to being back to human size and the fur on her body was disappearing. Her clothes fortunately were taken off before she transformed by the system and as she got closer to her human form they were put back on.

"Thanks Rea." This time not forgetting her existence, Shaman thanked the system assistant as taking Elysia's clothes on and off was her doing.

[Hmph, no worries] Cleary pouting, Rea was still happy to be acknowledged for once.

Elysia now was back to her human form and just like Shaman guessed she was passed out. Catching Elysia before she hit the ground, Shaman lifted her up in a princess carry.

"I'm sorry, I should have stepped in earlier." Kiruya had lowered her head as she felt like they would have been okay, but with the threat of a demon possessing the body, she felt like she should have put a stop to it.

"Don't worry too much about it, we are all safe, now come on let's go." Shaman did not blame Kiruya for anything and was more glad everyone was okay.

"Is mother okay?" Silver quickly ran up to Shaman while staring at the passed out Elysia.

"Yes she is okay, now go help sister Clara, she is a bit exhausted." Shaman was glad to see Silver was okay, but she was more worried about Clara who seemed to be affected by the demon.

"Mhm." Silver nodded his head and went to help Clara get up on her feet so they could leave.

"Okay, we should head home, Elanor is waiting for us." Remembering the elf they helped, Shaman wanted to get back quickly as she didn't want to leave her alone for too long.

"I agree." Kiruya wanted to go lay down as she felt mentally exhausted from stressing over the safety of everyone.

"What should we do with the sword?" Clara slowly walked over with Silver supporting her, holding it in her hand.

"Leave it in the inventory for now, but do not bring it out until we know what to do with it. Plus I think we should give it to Freja once we return." Shaman did not want to take it with them, but it was probably for the best to hold on to it for now, at least to keep it from causing anymore trouble.

Clara did what Shaman said and they all began to make their way out of the dungeon after a long few hours of fighting.

<Elanor POV>

'I hope they will be here soon.' Elanor was pacing around Shaman's room worried that something happened.

'They are strong, but still they are so young.' Elanor being much older than the group couldn't help thinking they would get too cocky or underestimate the dungeon.

'It's fine, it has only been a couple hours, which means they are being careful! not that they are in danger.' Elanor, trying to calm herself down, tried to think of it as a positive thing. Even though they had just met, they treated her with kindness which was something rare for her, so she couldn't help worrying about them.

*Knock* *Knock*

'Oh it must be them!' Elanor felt relieved as she assumed it was them at the door and quickly rushed to open it.

Opening up the door she was met with some strangers in hoodies who were definitely not Shaman.

"W-who are you?" Elanor's heart skyrocketed as she wasn't sure if it was another kidnapping attempt.

"Hello there miss, our master would like an audience with you." Being polite the elf bowed, hiding his face.

"I-I t-think you have the wrong person." Elanor stepped back and went to close the door, but was stopped by the elf.

"I don't think so." Knowing they will have to get her by force, the 2 elves rushed into the room.
