The Fox Goddess - Chapter 416 Helping Katsumi Choose A Weapon
“Even though this Staff hurt me earlier, I know it is not its fault as it was set up to be like that, so no one is at fault here. But I’m not saying that you should be the one to take the blame, Yuki! No matter what kind of personality you can have, no matter how bad it is, as long as you love and cherish me, I will continue to walk with you. And that is never going to change.” Anna said with all her heart as she hugged Yuki silently to let her feel all the love she could give her. By now she knows Yuki a lot, she knows many things that even her parents might not know and one of those is that she has an icy exterior meanwhile a soft side inside, that is how she interprets her. As she believes that no matter how cold a person is there will still be warmth inside of them and that was just the case with Yuki, it may seem that she doesn’t need love because she is strong. Still, when she saw her crying and calling out to her Mother while she was having a nightmare, it made her realize that she was just broken inside. This is why she will do what she can to help her out, for the woman she loves.
“Thanks… Alright, changing topic. Now that you have your weapon Anna, you should let yourself get used to using it. Though it shouldn’t be hard considering what kind of talent you have, so good luck. Fumiko, I’m sorry but since you are still new, I won’t give you a weapon just yet, I hope you can understand it.” Yuki didn’t feel any better even after hearing Anna’s words, because deep inside her she knows that her personality might come crashing down in their love life and ultimately ruin it. Yuki knows how possessive she can be, and she can’t even stand someone being so close to one of them whether they are the same or opposite gender, but as she doesn’t want any bloodshed she doesn’t kill them. But sometimes she just feels like wants to trap them inside of a room where she can be the only one to admire their beauty, but doing it can ruin the relationship that they build because she would be restricting their freedom. She feels like she is a terrible person for even having such thoughts, she doesn’t even know how she became so possessive.
“It doesn’t matter to me, Yuki. So you don’t have to worry about yourself. Heck, I can’t even master my Powers, how can I wield a weapon then?” Fumiko shrugged it off like it was nothing and slightly laughed. She knows very well that she wasn’t ready at all to be wielding a weapon, and if she did she doesn’t even know what kind of weapon she would like to use as there were at least a few hundred to pick from.
“Katsumi… how about you? Do you want a better weapon? I noticed that you still haven’t changed your weapon and still use the same weapon that your Auntie Aria gave you. I think I may have something better, but you gotta tell me first what it is you want, though I also notice that you excel in using polearms. So consider choosing in that line up of weapons.” Yuki asked and just waited for Katasumi to answer, though she lied about having a weapon as she would just buy it in the System Shop after hearing what kind of weapon Katsumi would like.
“Well… I have liked using this weapon ever since. But now that I am stronger, I feel like it cannot keep up with me now. And I have also thought of changing weapons, but I didn’t know what kind of weapon to use though. But if I’m going to choose in the range of polearms, I don’t have any idea what to use, though the weapon I would like is something heavy, powerful, and also flexible so that it can keep up with my speed.” Knowing that Kasumi also wanted to switch weapons and even asked for advice, she would do just that. So she made all of the polearms that have existed on Earth using only her Ice and let Katsumi choose what she wants.
“As you can see there are dozens of polearms here but in my opinion… These three might be the best for you.” Yuki said as she separated three of those polearms before wielding it herself so that Katsumi could see it better.
“Halberd, known for its axe-like appearance with a spearhead on top of it. In the past, it enables the wielder to attack your opponents in vital points such as their joins which are big damage that can be dealt to your enemies that could make them incapable of moving even if it’s a little damage. Finally… we can use the axe edge to cut them in half. Like so.” Yuki smiled as she moved fast, but not too fast so that they can still see her movement. She then created a Massive Ice Golem and its only purpose was to attack Yuki, but before it could even make a move, Yuki has already attacked behind its knee joint making it fall to the ground as she finishes it by cutting its head in half.
“Just like so, you can try it if you want,” Yuki said as she removed the Ice Golem before grabbing the next weapon that she has suggested to Katsumi to use. As for Katsumi, she was listening attentively and was watching closely so that she wouldn’t miss anything important as this would change the course of her future. Choosing the right weapon can make her very powerful alone just by it, but by no means it is an easy task.
“Next… is going to be the Scythe. Though in my opinion, this is the hardest out of the three that I chose for you since it’s a curved blade. And you need to hit all of the right angles to deal massive damage to your enemy. I will teach you how to use this weapon, remember… it can be quite tricky because it is mainly used for slashing and stabbing your enemies, the one I am using is a two-handed Scythe as you can see it is quite big.” Yuki said as she finally showed its power and slashed through the Ice Golem that she made once again killing it in one strike, but she was not done just yet, she made another one and this time she slammed the point of Sctyhe into its head but because of its thickness it didn’t go through but it was just as Yuki expected as she then twisted the handle decapitating the Ice Golem in the process.
“That’s all this weapon can do. But there is more that you can learn if you just dedicate yourself to learning it, as what I showed you is pretty much the basics of the Scythe… Oh, wait… I forgot you can also do this with a Scythe.” Yuki smiled as she made another Ice Golem, but this time it wasn’t that big and just the same size as her. The Scythe that she was also holding changed shape and it now has two sizes to it, one blade on top and one below. And to everyone’s surprise, she threw it and as it fly into the air it begins to spin rapidly cutting the Ice Golem into two with absolute ease. But she was still not done, she then removed the blade from below and added chains to it, she then once again threw it to the Golem that had just recovered for it to only be cut in half once again.
As the Scythe traveled behind it, Yuki pulled the Chains cutting it in half because of its sharp blade.
“It may look hard, but in fact, it’s very simple to do. You just need practice for it.” Yuki smiled as she begins to switch weapons again, but she didn’t know that what she did was almost practically impossible because it was hard to change the trajectory of the Scythe for it to travel behind the enemy. Serene who was a Scythe user herself was baffled to see that kind of battle style.
“Finally, this is the last weapon. Probably it’s my second favorite in the polearm category, only one below the Scythe. It is the Guandao…”
