Blood starts slowing down from the Nine-Tailed-Fox's eyes as she placed both of her hands on the ground. The air flows differently as the Fox gathers the magical energy around the air to boost her strength. It got to a point that it was the magical energy collected could be seen even by mortals as red energy starts twirling in a circular motion around the Fox.

[!]

[Let me possess thou's body now.]

"Huh?"

Red unaware of the danger in front of him was reluctant to do so. He thought that Ryong was once again trying to underestimate his ability in defeating a strong opponent. However, his body started shaking slowly at first. He couldn't understand why was it the cold weather due to the rain or was it something else. In a mere 2 minutes, his body shook uncontrollably while having goosebumps wrapped around his body. His breathing slowed down and it got harder to breathe in due to the air suddenly becoming denser than normal. His body started turning purple in color and the veins in his popping out of his body. It was a very abnormal sight especially when the vein themselves were black in color.

[Now!]

Immediately Red release all control in his body and detached himself away in relaxation from his mind. The next thing he knew, his body was already starting to move on its own. It was Ryong.

Immediately the moment Ryong took over his body, he sat down on the ground and started doing breathing exercises.

[Dr%#$@!#&'s Mana Breathing] -- Borrowed

[Mana Poisoning Resistance] -- Acquired

Even when Red was not in control, he could feel it. There was a warm heat generated in the middle of his body. Slowly his body returned back to normal with his veins turning back to their normal color. He was recovering from whatever the Nine-Tailed-Fox was emitting.

However, all the Nine-Tailed-Fox did was power up. Noticing her prey was just sitting there defenselessly, she spared no time attacking her. Ryong closed his eyes when he was meditating and breathing to avoid the Mana Poisoning. However Red could see whatever was happening due to the abilities of the Mask.

The Nine-Tailed-Fox started running towards him with her hands and legs on the ground like an animal. Her tails turned from a beautiful white fur to Crimson Red, the same color as the blood that flows from her eyes. Her claws were stained in Red blood as well and her hair turned Pure white.

If anything, she looked more like a Demonic being from hell. She now preys on Red as her next meal so that she can evolve to a higher existence.

Running at an astonishing speed, it was only a matter of time before she ripped his head apart.

[Look closely Red.]

Startled by Ryong's voice, Red replied "Ye--Yes?"

Ryong Immediately stood up from the ground. With his eyes closed, Ryong stomp his left foot forward and raised his palm forward. The right was then kept near the body as he inhaled a large amount of air surrounding him.

"This...Looks like it's a stance used in ___"

[Yes thou are right. It's a stance used in Karate.]

[The name of this stance in your world would be: Fudo-Dachi, the Immovable Stance.]

He lowered both of his legs in a lower stance and position himself directly opposite the Nine-Tailed Fox.

[The advantage of using the Fudo-Dachi is that the weight thou placed on both of thou's feet is equal. Meaning that the weight distribution would be 50/50. This is crucial as this one move that I will be teaching thou would need you to know how to transfer the weight successfully to 0/100 or else thou would die doing it wrongly.]

Red listened attentively knowing that this was the first time Ryong actually taught him an offensive move.

The Nine-Tailed Fox ran forward like a beast going in for the kill. Her tails starts to spread out and strike Ryong as he stood still, waiting for his chance for that one blow. From the position he was standing, he continued his breathing exercise, slowly inhaling and exhaling the air while keeping his sight forward at his enemy. Ryong slowly reached his right wrist, grabbing it while his right hand was positioned in the palm strike form.

Without betting an eye, he shifted his entire body forward by placing the back leg forward. The Fox went in the kill but it was too late. Along with the back leg placing forward, the right palm also launched forward, twisting along the way to its target. The fist glowed in bright blue energy and burst the moment it came in contact with the Fox.

The aftermath of the attack destroyed the Osaka Castle which blew up the entire entrance along with the trees and roads that were placed in front of the entrance.

"...What the F___"

[With enough Qi Mastery and Aura Mastery, this is nothing compared to the true skill of the Dr*!@#$ #@$!%!@.]

When Red heard the skill's name, he suddenly felt a jolt of pain running through his head. Ryong also felt the effect that Red experienced as he was grabbing his head while kneeling now.

[Looks like thou are still not ready for this yet.]

"No shit sherlock," Red replied.

As the smoke clears up, Ryong took a look at his opponent, confident that he managed to kill her off in that one move. However, there was nothing there.

All that was left was a hand that was ripped apart, lying in a pool of blood.

[!!]

"Where did she ___"

From above, one of the tails emerges out of nowhere and aimed for Ryong. With enough quick reaction, he draw Stix out of inventory and blocked the attack.

Unbeknownst to him, another tail pierced from the ground and stabbed Ryong in his legs, completely immobilizing him from any movement.

[ARGHHH!!!!]

With his legs pierced, there was a giant hole that can be seen through the legs. The Nine-Tailed Fox furious, emerges from the ground with the jaw of a giant beast, aiming for him. The image looked like the poster of the Jaws movie except that you can replace the image of the shark with a Giant fox.

Thunkkthhh-!!!

SKITHthhh-!!!

Blood started to burst from somewhere, converting the whole area to look like a bloody fountain. Accompanying the blood was a blood-curdling scream that echoed throughout the entire district.

Ryong opened his eyes to find a Kabutowari Sticking out from the head of the Giant Beast's head. Stepping on the Kabutowari was a young man in his 25s, staring at him directly in his face with an unnaturally happy face.
