Chapter 1686 Yuki's Awakening

-----

The Frost Rat Monkey that evolved into the Ice Monkey Chinchilla.

The Dragon Bloodline of Drake.

And her own desire to be more "humane" in both appearance and personality.

These three aspects of Yuki's own existence, despite seemingly melding well together, were in complete imbalance.

The reason? She couldn't accept her own origins, nor embrace them.

Although she took Drake's blood at the beginning and liked her changes, she also quickly realized she looked aberrant now.

Draconic scales, horns, and tail, fur and chinchilla-like ears over her entire body, a chimeric being, she didn't look like any beast-kin woman she had ever seen in the big cities.

This created a great lack of identity, and a great denial of what she was, of what she had turned herself into.

The more she sought her humane form, the more these two "flaws" became more apparent, and the more she despaired at the thought that she would never be the ideal girl she always imagined herself being.

Even as a tiny little Rat...

The words of the Phoenix and the Tiger did not mean that she had to forfeit what she had become now, not at all.

But they meant that she had to come to terms with her own insecurities and understand that her origins were also part of what made her who she is now.

"My origins and what I am now... They don't have to be separated; they don't have to be mutually exclusive... I am myself."

Yuki then realized it, her eyes widening.

Her Soul Ocean shook, its waves beginning to swirl around her.

Suddenly, three phantasmal figures appeared behind her, Yuki recognized them as her own identities.

The little Monkey Chinchilla, adorable, small, intelligent, hard worker...

The internal dragon within her, inherited from Drake's desire to keep her safe, a connection to her best friend, and the one that gave her life a new meaning...

The two Divine Beast Spirits nodded, rushing towards her, and fusing with her as well. FLAAASH!

The blinding azure light coming from Yuki's soul shone as brightly as the sun itself.

And it was said that Amaterasu was the Goddess of the Sun.

The fragment of her soul, of her true Divinity.

It finally awakened as Yuki fully accepted herself.

...

The pink flames of the two Demon Generals engulfed everything, as they deadly beam of destruction pushed Tisha and Pekora further down.

The two already started to plan to grab Yuki and escaping before the beam were to hit Drake's Domain above the ground.

However, by doing so, there would be a small chance of them not having enough time, and ending up hurt, or worse, dying.

She didn't want to ask for her help, Tisha thought of Yuki as a still very unexperienced youngling, unlike her, who was an old and veteran elven warrioress. Yet, at this moment, they didn't have any options...

Yuki had amazing potential, they had to ask for the young girl's help!

"YUKI! COME HELP!"

There was silence for a few seconds, Tisha and Pekora thinking Yuki had entered a deep meditative state and wouldn't answer.

Yet, that thought quickly vanished.

When she opened her eyes.

"Very well."

FLAAASH!

And from within her eyes, which had become like beautiful azure pearls, a bright azure sunlight surged, so potent and powerful, it pierced through the Demon Generals beam.

And completely destroyed it.

BOOOMMM!!!
