Chapter 135: Fifth Tail

April 1st, 2090

Veronicas POV

I have lost track of time as Rin and I have battled with Ibaraki-doji and Cerberus. They have a major advantage in terms of bulk, but Rin and I are far superior in terms of long-range firepower. This has led us to a game of cat and mouse, or I suppose fox and hound would be a more appropriate analogy. We were in a stalemate, but things changed when Chinese reinforcements showed up. These mechs had an impressive array of energy-based weaponry, including high-frequency repeating laser guns, plasma missiles, and high precision arc canons. There were 16 deployed, and I was only able to eliminate 4 of them by the time the JASDF arrived.

After preventing their premature demise, I was back to trying to eliminate the mechs. Rin was admirably fending off both Ibaraki-doji and Cerberus in order to buy me the necessary time. I charged towards the nearest machine, which was stomping away at the zombies clawing at its wiring. Their relentlessness and unnatural strength had managed to already take down another two of the mechs in addition to the four I had already handled personally.

I sprinted forward, dodging the laser barrage. It doesnt matter if the shots are faster than light if I can move out of their way by predicting their path beforehand. I came in close to one of the pinned mechs, using it as cover from its comrades. I slipped Waymaker in between the armor plating at one of its joints, piercing through the interior. The mechs balance was destroyed, and with it the undead swarming it the mech started to fall over. I turned to face another of the machines while leaving the disabled one to the undead, but a series of missiles flew in and destroyed three of the war machines in an instant. I turned to see members of the JSDF storming in, with a helicopter providing air support. The commander shouted towards me Well take care of the tin cans! You go help your foxy friend! I nodded in appreciation before using Waymaker to reappear on Rins back.

Hey doofus! Guess what? All your friends have died! I taunted Ibaraki-doji as Cerberuss corpse disappeared. The red doofuss response was to ready his big stick and yell I SHALL PERSERVERE FOR MY LORD! before charging me. Hmph, it truly is disturbing when lesser demons think they can dare stand against their betters. I should do a favor for demon lords everywhere and rend him limb from limb.

My bloodlust surged to ever greater heights, and power surged within me as I felt my fifth tail form. Yay! Master is going to be so pleased with my progress! Only one more tail until Im no longer a kid! Take that boiler brain! Then I can get cuddly with master during the night too! Grrr, its so frustrating that boiler brain managed to get to master first. But I wont give up! I have my secret weapon: fluffiness! That is something that no amount of optimization can compensate for! My form grew along with my fifth tail, becoming as large as a two-story building. By the time Ibaraki-doji reached me, we were standing eye to eye. I grinned at him before piercing each of his limbs with a tail, using magic to harden my fur. I lifted him up, ignoring his pathetic struggling, and charged my super-duper foxfire laser. Bye-bye, doofus! I said before flinging him up in the air and eradicating him with my technique.

Hmph, as I thought, he was weak. I just got my fifth tail and yet that was enough to reduce him to nothing more than a mere fly. How unsatisfying. I can almost see why Dante likes Master so much. It would be boring to fight with just weaklings all the time. But Dante clearly doesnt understand Masters greatness. If he did, he would be trying to get him to pet him rather than kill him. No one is as good at petting as Master after all.

My blood was still boiling, so when I saw that hundreds of the enemy humans were nearby. I couldnt help but be delighted. Master told me to go wild, so I will. Besides, its a lot of fun slaughtering humans. Not as fun as being with Master or my big sisters, but its a close second. I appeared within the ranks in a flash, launching my fox fire everywhere and watching them burn. Their screams were delightful, and I had so much fun killing every single one of them! Rejoice, your sacrifice and life force will help me gain my sixth tail!
