"Two old hags bullying a kid, huh? Don't you feel ashamed?"
From within the burst of supernatural light, tails of snowy white fox fur lashed through the air. Elowen appeared amid an overwhelming pressure and stood tall in the center of the radiance.
Behind her, ten massive fox tails whipped through the sky with wild, unrestrained force.
Looking closely, one could see additional tails behind her. They were illusory and white as snow, yet shimmered with layers of mystic light. These were nine tails formed from Shannon's divine soul.
Just moments ago, these tails, one from each of the two, had struck and sent Pyrothan and Goravoth flying.
Though the two beasts had thick hides and quickly got back on their feet after the slaps, they could sense the terrifying presence of the figure ahead. Both reined in some of their prior ferocity.
Now, they were wary, but their faces still wore a savage look.
Amid the dust clouds and blazing supernatural light, Shannon slowly stepped forward to stand side by side with Elowen. Behind them, over a dozen fox tails flared high and looked like an army of thousands at first glance.
This was not the same presence the beasts had sensed earlier. If they hadn't seen only two standing before them, they might have believed all the nine-tailed foxes had arrived.
Elowen narrowed her eyes and stared at the nine identical tails behind Shannon, sensing the familiar soul remnant in their divine souls.
At this moment, there was no longer any doubt about her history with Shannon, a living soul from another timeline.
If not, she would not have sensed and been summoned so strongly to this battlefield.
Shannon was equally surprised by Elowen's sudden appearance. Then, as if something occurred to her, she reached for her chest and drew out a card.
It was the card Elowen had given them before their parting, infused with the supernatural energy of the Ten-Tailed Elythune.
