There was no chance Shannon would let Evil Demon Alpha escape. Her eyes turned cold, and one of her fox tails swiftly extended, slamming it toward him with an intense demonic force.
Had Thalia been present, she would have realized Shannon's tactic was similar to when Marilyn swept her away with her tail.
Shannon had only remembered after seeing the Stone Turtle and Kai use their tails to strike that her own supernatural power-activated tail wasn't just helpful for running faster; it could also be used for direct attacks and even stretch, just like Marilyn's!
Evil Demon Alpha had already noticed that Shannon had only recently learned to fight using a demon body, as her movements were clearly unrefined. That was why she had been relying on the talismans earlier.
Now, seeing her abandon the talismans and try to attack with her tail, he thought even less of her.
Though she was a two-tailed fox, that tail was nothing impressive.
He felt that such a soft attack would never reach him. As he was about to dodge casually while escaping, he quickly put distance between himself and Shannon, staying just out of reach of her fox tail.
Just as he was about to turn around and mock her, he suddenly saw one of her fox tails rapidly extend and grow longer.
The fox tail, infused with supernatural power, cut through the air with a sharp whistling sound and suddenly swung toward his head. Shannon landed a blow, immediately adjusting the angle to strike again.
Evil Demon Alpha, knocked to the ground by two consecutive tail strikes, looked dazed at first. But soon, the aggression in him was stirred up. No longer attempting to run, he turned around, raising his demonic claws to swipe at her.
Shannon's eyes briefly flicked over one of the demonic claws she had already sliced by a third. Her mind raced as she focused on channeling her supernatural power to form a wind blade.
Evil Demon Alpha had felt the sting of her wind blade before. Though aware it could wound him, he was determined to strike first, confident he could take her life before she could even react.
He couldn't understand how a mystic master could transform into a demon form, let alone attack in that shape. Was she a human or a demon?
Suddenly, his face shifted as if he had an epiphany. "W-Wait. Are you that half-demon mystic master, Thalia Wynthorpe?"
She was the only half-demon from the fox clan who also happened to be a mystic master. If his guess was right, they were destined to be out of luck today, having run into a tough opponent.
However, the young woman before him shook her head and denied it. "No."
Evil Demon Alpha was about to heave in relief when he heard her slowly adding, "I'm her daughter."
Ignoring his suddenly wide-eyed gaze, Shannon uttered the final words of the incantation, "Boom, with power and light!"
