Re Istode : Things that kitsune girl do in another world - Chapter 106
“[Doppelganger]”
I said the word with the intention of transforming into the strongest figure I had ever fought, the silhouette.
Transform into the jerk?
Yes… Even in a dream, I don’t want it. I’d rather turn into this scary monster that has four eyes and three arms than turn into the jerk.
“Wha what happened to you!?” Vyorn shouted then jumped away.
He gave me an investigating look and a wary expression.
“I use a skill. My form may be scarier but I’m still the same person. And more importantly, those Leaf Deer were approaching! Concentrate on the fight, please!” I gave orders and jumped away from the trees that trying to catch me.
I ran, dodged the Leaf Deer’s attack, and then kept my distance from them.
The doppelganger works nicely but… After turning into a silhouette, the clothes and Armor I was wearing were ripped and torn apart. Some of them – Leather Belt and Arms plus Legs Guard – tied my limbs so strongly.
I’ll worry about the clothes later. Now, I have to absorb the information about this form, provided by my Unique Skill, Doppelganger.

Damn! My Basic Statistics are double!
“So that’s why I become faster ANDDD… GUAH!”
The pain stung my face, shortly after I hit a tree in front of me, head first. Once again, I got into trouble after my strength increased suddenly.
Although I got assistance and correction from the Doppelganger, I couldn’t move this body to its maximum potential.
I mean, right now I have three arms but I can only use two arms well.
The four eyes I had also started to make me dizzy.
I shook my head and moved again. I avoided the trees that came to catch me.
Seconds passed and I will say, this new power is amazing. I can dodge the pursuit of the trees without dripping sweat.
And best of all, I was able to get close to one of the Leaf Deer in the blink of an eye.
“[Colossus Punch]”
CLANG!
This is unexpected, the strongest Arte of the Skill, Unarmed Combat Mastery that I launched with my new power cannot destroy the Leaf Deer’s Barrier.
My attack could only move the monster three meters away from where it had stood before.
I ran towards the Leaf Deer while the monster I approached moved away.
The other Leaf Deer ran to hit me but Vyorn appeared to intercept it.
“Handle that Leaf Deer, Vyorn! I’m going to go after the other. And if you can, defeat that monster with the help of Ruciel and the others.”
“Okay, I understand!”
Immediately, I chased after Leaf Deer after giving the order.
The monster jumped from one tree to another. It’s agile and fast. And not only did it run, but the monster also started showering me with three types of Earth Spells.
Spear-shaped stones, dozens of stones the size of a shark tooth-shaped head, and a stone ball the size of a head with thorns. All of that was fired at me in turn. And hence, dozens of wounds adorned my body.
Leaf Deer really wants to kill me.
And yes, I’m not staying still. I counterattacked using Shadow Spells, my spear, and my fists. Unfortunately, all of my attacks couldn’t break through the Monster’s Barrier.
Shadow Magic is not as strong as Dark Magic.
Therefore, my strongest Shadow Spells can only erode that Barrier little by little. As for Unarmed and Spear Arte, this type of attack could barely scratch the Monster’s Barrier.
Other than feeling irritated at knowing all my attacks were almost meaningless, I was also angry that I couldn’t make the monster stop.
It, which was constantly moving didn’t give me a chance to use another Spell Gem. Therefore, what I can do now is continue attacking the monster to empty his MP.
It was so exhausting, at the same time, I tried to calm my anger.
“Ruu!” Leaf Deer stopped and made a cry.
The ground around it shook and then moved to form dozens of shark teeth. A moment later, all of that was fired at me.
I amplified the flow of energy to my legs and I sped faster. I want to get out of the spell’s area of attack but it doesn’t seem like I’ll be make it.
So, I used another way to dodge. “[Shadow Dive]”
I dived into the shadow of a tree I had just stepped on. Then, while I was in the shadows, I moved closer to the Leaf Deer.
The monster became wary, it looked around before finally moving to approach the other Leaf Deer.
Of course, I won’t let it go. I chased the monster at full speed and with Present Concealment on. I also didn’t forget to fill my arms with energy.
We’re moving at high speed.
The time passed.
Finally, I was able to catch up to that monster. Now, I move beside it.
And when the monster stepped on the shadow of a tree, I appeared at lightning-fast speed to catch the monster’s hind legs.
“Ruu!”
I made it!
The monster fell!
However, I must not remain still for too long. I have to launch an attack before the monster uses its barrier.
“[Dragon Fang]”
My spear sped up quickly and in the end…
Splat! Zhing! Splat!
My spear managed to pierce the monster’s stomach. However, on the other hand, my spear along with my third hand was cut into two by the monster’s Barrier.
“Arg… Eh! It doesn’t hurt,” I said. A moment later I got a powerful kick right in my chest. “Gah!”
I was thrown a few meters before finally lying on a large tree branch.
The Leaf Deer fell to its knees as I saw my cut-off hand. It was extremely shocking when no blood came out of the wound.
I shook my head and got up. I ran once again to get close to the Leaf Deer.
The monster showed no signs of running again. So, I jumped. I raised my two arms up my head, I combined my two hands, then I fell.
“[Colossuss Smash]” I shouted then swung my arm like I was swinging a hammer.
DONG…!!
Loud noises are created and damn it!
I can’t destroy this Barrier!
So and again, I took the Spell Gem and then used it. Black water bit on at the barrier and eventually destroyed it.
After the spell, Leaf Deer’s defense was wide open, it couldn’t stop my attack.
Sometime later, the monster finally died.
< Level up! 3 to 4 >
< Level up! 4 to 5 >
< Level up! 5 to 6 >
I raised my arm to celebrate this victory but… An arrow pierced me in the shoulder.
“Ah!” I screamed out of a bit of surprise.
“Aaarrggh!”
It was Ruciel’s scream, she sounded so in pain.
I turned around and sure enough, Ruciel was lying on the ground. The girl thrashed around while trying to remove her Slave Collar with all the power she had.
Why did that happen?
Because Ruciel attacked me who was her Master. Of course, because of this imprudence, the Slave Collar strangled her neck as punishment
I walked up to the girl and Vyorn was by her side.
“What are you doing, Ruciel!? Why are you attacking me?”
“She couldn’t believe my explanation,” Vyorn said. “She believes, you are a monster.”
“Well… Now she knows that I’m Eclaite.” I made a nod when looking at Ruciel who is right now lay in the ground, exhausted. “What about the other Leaf Deer?”
“We killed it.”
“Good job! With this, our adventure here is over.
Sometime later. Kimi, Alan, Salsa, and Chloe show up.
And yes, they were surprised when they saw my figure as a monster. But then, they became panicked as I transformed into a Beastkin with tattered clothes.
After I wear a robe, we started processing Leaf Deer’s corpse.
I can’t wait to eat that monster’s Magic Stone. I want the Barrier Magic it has.
Why do I want Barrier Magic?
It’s because I don’t have a good match with elements in terms of defense. I can’t use Earth and Dark Magic.
Of course, that limit didn’t apply when I used the Doppelganger. But, I can’t continue to rely on a defense that can only be used for twenty-four hours per week, right?
The danger is always there and could come at any time.
Therefore, I need reliable defense magic. And since I matched the water and light, Barrier Magic became the closest solution I could use.
So…
“Barrier Magic please, please, please,” I said before eating the Leaf Deer’s Magic Stone.
Glup!
< Acquired a Ski-
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING!” Ruciel shouted.
Her loud voice made my body jerk spontaneously. It even makes my fox ears and tails stand up straight.
I moved my head to see; What kind of thing made the Fallen Elf girl scream and I found, the girl ran up to me quickly.
“Spit that Magic Stone! Quickly!”
