Fox Tale Of A Dungeon Boss 43 Chapter 43: Class Skills, And The Test Of Blood

Finally the path came to the building up ahead, but I read through my new(ish) cla.s.s skills.

Cla.s.s Skills

a.n.a.lyze IV [Proficiency 54%]

Elemental Resonance I [Proficiency 0%]

Spell Symphony I [Proficiency 0%]

Silk Speech I [Proficiency 12%]

Mind Puppet I [Proficiency 0%]

Crisis Detection II [Proficiency 46%]

Vital Targeting II [Proficiency 85%]

Adaptive Melee Arts II [Proficiency 54%]

Apparently any and all Techniques a.s.sociated directly to my cla.s.s are now cla.s.s skills, while any techniques outside of that are still Techniques.

I was surprised Cosmos Mana Flow wasn't a Cla.s.s Skill, but the apparently it's a spell casting technique, and not necessary to the cla.s.s.

As for why a.n.a.lyze is there... apparently a cla.s.s skill is Prediction, which allowed me to see the strike before it happened and how to change it, remember? A War Dancer Skill... but a.n.a.lyze basically fused with it so it's now leveled to a.n.a.lyze IV, and has a high amount of Proficiency.

Effects of this are that a.n.a.lyze apparently is always actively a.n.a.lyzing everything my sense can examine, and has a predictive module now that uses input to predict the future. This capability will grow over time, but also improves the more data if collects, which means the longer the fight drags on... the better it works.

Elemental Resonance apparently causes my spells to work like notes. So spells of the same element carry the same frequency, and that lingering frequency boosts the others.

So after casting a spell, another spell of the same element will have a 5% increase in power for the next 5 seconds. While using 2 in a row would mean a 10% increase, it will drop down to 5% once the first notes resonance fades. They are on individual timers I guess.

Spell Symphony allows me to take many similar spells to be played as notes in a song, and at to be merged as a single piece of music, or in reality, multiple spells fuse into a larger one, kinda like I paired the use of Healing Mist and Healing Star alternating to get maximum effect.

Silk Speech is how much my music affects the minds of others, their emotions and thoughts. So how well I can make someone calm or angry with my soul-powered music depends on this.

Mind Puppet is... a scary skill I had no idea I had but makes sense?

It allows me to use my soul energy through the song to directly take over another's body and use it as a Puppet dancing to my tune. I feel like this is the main reason why my cla.s.s is Demonic Tunist, and feels like my strongest cla.s.s skill, or main cla.s.s skill. Call it an animal's intuition.

You already know what the others do, so let's skip them! Hehehe.

The sign over the door still reads Path of Realization, though worn away.

A smaller sign below says 'Test of Blood'.

I pulled open the wrecked sliding door, which got stuck halfway, and s.h.i.+mmied myself into that crack to get in, once again ignoring the hole in the door.

Luna and Fenrir followed, and once again a ghost Kitsune formed and the building seemed restored.

On a pedestal in the center saw a feather, Snow White with blue lines of energy crackling along it, encased in a orb of ice, with flames covering the feather within the ice somehow.

The sight of it made me feel like reality was twisting away from me. 'How in the f.u.c.king h.e.l.l did they do THAT!?'

The ghost formed as a beautiful mature woman, with beige fur and 7 tails. Her tails and ears were tipped in white, and she looked serious.

She was probably around 30, and had a full set of curves unlike the flat Luna and Touka. k.u.miko's were probably a bit smaller, but she seemed more sensual that this Foxkin. No wait this isn't what to think about right now!

This Kitsune gave an air of propriety. Honesty and justice radiated off of her.

My eyes tightened a bit. 'Her Soul is pretty good in comparison to what I've seen so far...'

"Welcome to the test of Blood. This is the feather of a divine beast, a Snow Phoenix. Any lie told in its presence will kill you."

Luna gasped as Fenrir's eyes widened a tad.

I was a bit surprised at the sudden change from caring and heartwarming to cold and serious courtroom from test to test.

"What cla.s.s have you chosen?"

"I uh... I'm a Demonic Tunist!" I managed to get out.

Her eyes showed a bit of confusion, so I explained automatically.

"It's a unique cla.s.s combining the cla.s.ses of War Dancer, Mage Musician, and Soul Composer."

Luna gaped at me. "You fused 3 cla.s.ses? I thought 2 was the max to create a fused unique cla.s.s!"

"Huh?" Oh well... I could only do it because of the Dungeon and my ridiculous amount of Soul Power, so it's fine.

The Kitsune looked to the feather as if questioning if it was or wasn't going to kill me. I was telling the truth I swear!

"Uh... that is... I mean- what's your name?!" After awkwardly fumbling this serious fox-lady finally shouted the next question.

"I was known as Kyoku, and my family name is a forgotten thing of which has no bearing now."

Kyoku has been given to me by my parents, who I hope did okay after my death, but my family at large... I still am not completely sure, but I don't think they're very good people. Or there was some issue at least...

"Very well... do you swear that you are a Kitsune, by truth and blood?"

Ah... s.h.i.+t. Uh... let's word this carefully.

"I believe I... I am..."

Her eyes began to harden seeing my hesitation, while the feather began to release a piercing cold.

"Agh! Whether my body is damaged or not, yes! I am a Kitsune by body and blood, and I am a member of the Foxkin!" I screwed my eyes shut in panic.

Silence.

I slowly opened my eyes after s.c.r.e.w.i.n.g them shut... and everything was normal. 'I'm not... dead?'

Okay... the fact that was true to me apparently raises some questions.

"Now, final question. This question is usually tailor made by elders in your community who know you... but we can't do that."

Uh... this is a really easy test so far. Alright, let's see this final question then!

"Who's fault is it that the Kitsune are dead?"

'...ah f.u.c.k me. That's a hard one.'
