I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?-Chapter 18 Hunting Down A Cult

?Shaman had exited the bathroom and saw that Elysia was in a pitch-black egg.

'Seems like the colour relates to our hair colour.' Shaman then went to examine the egg. The egg was shiny and looked like you could squish the egg, Although tempting she refrained and distracted herself by playing around with Wolfy.

After playing with Wolfy, Shaman had decided to go to sleep as she felt the fatigue of today's hunting and all the stress from Elysia had caught up and it was time to pass out.

*

During the night Elysia's egg started to crack as it seemed like her evolution took less time than Shaman's. After shaking a little while the egg finally broke.

A slender black-furred fox girl came out of the egg on her knees. Elysia looked more mature and had grown a second tail, other than looking more in her 20s nothing changed much.

*yawn* "I'm hungry." Elysia cried out a little and placed her hand on the floor hitting an eggshell.

"Oh, food." Without thinking too much she had started eating her eggshell and was too hungry to see what she was eating. After finishing the egg she looked at the bed seeing Shaman sleeping.

"Let's go back to sleep." Elysia then crawled her naked body over to the bed and snuggled next to Shaman and fell asleep.

*

Morning came and Shaman had woken up but was unable to move.

'Huh, why is my chest so heavy.' Shaman then looked down to see a naked Elysia had crawled on top of her.

'Shit she must have finished during the night and crawled into bed.' Shaman then proceeded to carefully lift Elysia and stealthily managed to escape the bed.

'I will give her an answer soon but seems like this attachment has developed even further, we really need to hunt down those people which I'm going to refer to as a cult since they planned to summon something.'

'Speaking of which, why have I not heard the news as it seemed like a big operation.' Shaman pondered on this question and then a sudden realization occurred.

'Don't tell me my precious Elysia was the final ingredient and that's why they are looking for her and still have not done the summoning.' Shaman had a smile as she indirectly, without realizing it ruined their plans by saving Elysia.

'I still need to deal with them though as Elysia won't be able to wander the streets freely with them around.' Shaman had an annoyed look as she wanted to focus on getting stronger with Wolfy and Elysia and reach tier 3.

'I'm worried about the guy leading it as he could be a much higher tier than me and I do not know how well I will do against him/her and could be courting death.' Shaman had a troubled expression but she could do nothing about it.

'Maybe if I take out all their small fry and weaken their forces maybe that will make them go quiet and give me enough time to strike back.' Shaman had decided that she would instead kill all the tier 1 and 2 troops so that it would force them to hold back.

'It could also be good practice and if there is a huge amount of troops maybe I could scrounge up a few levels and get close to the next goal, level 25.' Now knowing her plan of action she went ahead and went to the bathroom.

*

Elysia had woken up finally and could hear the shower going.

'Oh did I finish evolving early but why am I naked, don't tell me the answer already came? Wait no of course not but why am I here or did I just end up sleeping walking into her bed.' Elysia was confused by her predicament but still got up and got in her pyjamas. She also took the initiative to cook breakfast before Shaman finished.

'I hope Shaman did not take it the wrong way.' Elysia was worried since she did not mean to crawl into her bed as the events of last night came to her but what could she do now.

Shaman had finished and could smell eggs upon leaving the bathroom. Shaman, knowing what Elysia was doing, sat down at the table and waited patiently.

Elysia had finished and had come out of the small kitchen.

Shaman who did not get a good look at Elysia in the morning could see her full beauty. She had a much finer body and a more mature look. Shaman was glad that nothing else had changed as she was already jealous of Elysia's figure.

Elysia had placed the food down and a small plate for Wolfy and they all ate.

While eating Shaman spoke about her plan about hunting the cult and thinning their numbers.

Elysia was all for this and was ready to start killing those bastards.

"So I was thinking we could use you as bait to lure them away and since we can hide our equipment it will be easy for us to surprise them as their guard should be down thinking we are weak." Shaman thought that the higher ups would not be out and would be letting the pawns do the searching so it would be easy to kill them without getting their attention.

"After we are finished we will report about the secret underground base so that they can be raided and it should let us have breathing time to get stronger and fight back whoever is running the show." Although Shaman knew it would be better to report it straight away, she now had a personal agenda against them and wants a little bit of revenge.

"I'm okay with that but how exactly are we going to lure them and where?" Elysia was unsure where the hell they were meant to kill them. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨ｍ

"We will go to the slums and since that place is neglected it won't be an issue killing a bunch of them." Elysia nodded and after they finished they both got ready to head out.

*

They made their way to the slums and purposefully walked in the street in an attempt to attract people and it worked like a charm as a group had started pursuing.

Both Elysia and Shaman's fox hearing were able to hear that a group had formed of about 5 people. They headed into a dark alleyway and acted in distress to fool the men.

"Looks like we finally found the fox girl and it seems like we get a little extra as well." A man had spoken and the other 4 had laughed as they could see they had a worried look.

"Let's go boys, our boss is mad enough we haven't found anything yet." When that happened the man started rushing at them but in the instant, a fire arrow and a wind slash came out of nowhere killing 2 of them instantly.

"what how, they had no weapons and since when could they use elemental magic." The men were now sweating bullets and had fallen over from the sudden attack.

Without letting them speak another word they had killed the remaining men.

Shaman had also noticed she got more EXP from killing humans than beasts and thought that getting level 25 may be in reach.

Both Elysia and Shaman had repeated the process and ended up killing up to 100 people, Shaman reached level 19 and upgraded her wind lash to level 3 making it more cost-effective, she also allocated her attribute points. Elysia got to level 14 and managed to upgrade her fire arrow skill.

[Attributes - Shaman]

Vitality: 30 -> 35

Agility: 40 -> 55

Intelligence: 45 -> 55

Strength: 40 -> 50

Dexterity: 35 -> 40

Defense: 25 -> 30

The feeling of levelling up was also addicting as she could feel the changes and Elysia also experienced the same sensation. After organizing their things they moved on.

"Wish we could do this instead since it seems more efficient than killing a beast but I think we ran out of men to kill." Shaman although enjoyed getting revenged started to get a little bitter since killing over and over again still hurt her mentality. Elysia was unaffected and also had this cold look whenever she was killing, a complete 180 from the usual Elysia but her bubbly personality when they were together and not killing had brought her some peace.

"It does feel nice getting my revenge for all the shit they did to me but I will say we are getting less and less, so it would be ideal if we left now and report the hidden base." Shaman nodded at Elysia as they both agreed they should leave before they notice most of their men are dead.

Since Shaman was unaware of the law system Elysia had to lead the way as she knew what they looked like and where to go. Elysia had once tried going to them for help but since she was poor and from the slums, they kicked her away, although she does not like them they were still better than nothing.

They arrived and made up a fake story about how they saw a few men carrying a woman in a factory and then a secret passage had opened up in the back corner taking the woman away. It was surprising enough for them to make a move as they had been searching into the missing case for a while now and it started to escalate.

They were given 10 gold coins for the information and were shooed away.

They started walking home chatting.

"Well looks like our job is done at least for now we can walk around the streets without being kidnapped." Shaman had a smile as now they could actually go out and be friends.

"Finally we can go on a date." Elysia had accidentally spoken out loud causing Shaman to blush.

"I was going to suggest that but in a less bold way." Shaman was also planning to take Elysia out but someone beat her to it.

Elysia turned away as she just embarrassed herself once again.

"Hey don't be shy now you were the one that said it." Shaman then teased Elysia as it was a great opportunity to annoy her.

"T-that doesn't matter, I know I said I will wait but I just can't help but try to push it." Since they were in an alleyway and were about to arrive at their house they were not worried about where they were but then a crushing presence could be felt.

Shaman and Elysia snapped out of it as they could tell it was someone much stronger than they were.

Shaman, Wolfy and Elysia all got ready to fight and Shaman had used her inspect skill on the figure 𝑓𝘳ℯ𝒆w𝘦𝘣𝙣𝘰ѵ𝘦𝚕.c𝗼𝓶
