The Fox Goddess

"Haiss… Just as I expected, it is a high-ranking Weapon Spirit. I wonder if it's because she has the purest bloodline within Fairy's." Yuki mutters to herself as she looks at the little Spirit that is flying around Aika's head until he finally stops to land in his Master's palm to have a greater look at it.

"Well, if it's the case then there is no need to change your weapon then. Just practice more, especially practice killing your enemy. I know I'm being harsh right now, but there is no need to rush. I just hope that you can fully prepare yourself to finally kill a person someday, the sooner the better. Well, since Aika doesn't want to change her Weapon. Anna, do you want a better weapon to use? I remember that your Staff is only a Silver Rank Staff, which is not bad, I have something better for you to use, it even compliments your Light Element fairly well." Yuki smiled at Aika before kissing her forehead and talking to Anna who was stumped after hearing such words.

"You don't have to expose that I am poor by only having a Silver Rank Weapon… But I want to see it though." Anna said excitedly as she walked closer to Yuki wanting to see the Staff personally. And when Yuki finally brought out the Staff and held it in her hands, all of them felt a sinister Aura coming out from the Staff making all of them shiver in fear, the aura that it was releasing was something scary, even scarier than Grandil who all of them remembered clearly. But it was not just them who was affected by the sinister Aura, even Serene who has fought a lot of terrifying enemies in her whole life begins to sweat a little from fear when being exposed to such a terrifying aura.

"What in the world is that Yuki? How can such a thing release such a terrifying aura? Its evil and sinister aura is making everyone here submit to it out of fear." Serene said as she walked up to Yuki and placed a barrier out of her dense Mana to protect all of the people from passing out. She then takes a closer look at the Staff but surprisingly finds that she doesn't have the powers to know how powerful the Weapon is. But she didn't get an answer from Yuki who just took care of Anna who was the most affected out of all of them as she was the closest to her when she pulled the Staff out. Anna even fell to the ground because of the aura which made things worse.

"Anna! Are you alright!? I'm sorry, I didn't know that this was going to happen, if I only knew I wouldn't have taken this thing out. I'm sorry…" Yuki said softly as she lay on the grass and laid Anna's head on her lap before starting to caress her head gently. Anna's face was completely pale and tears even started to form in her eyes as she trembled in fear.

"I- I'm fine… I was just surprised by the sudden impact on my body. I will re-recover in a few minutes, do- don't worry." Anna answered with difficulty as she was trying to catch her breath a little.

"Can I know exactly what kind of weapon that is?" Anna asked breathlessly as she mustered all of her remaining strength to at least sit down beside Yuki, but because she felt so powerless after receiving such damage from an aura alone she stumbled, though she didn't feel as if Yuki was already there to cover for her. She used her shoulder for Anna's head to lie on.

"This… this is the Staff that I looted, well you can also say that I made it. Because it is made from all of Heaven where the Gods reside in the Mortal Realm. Its name is… The Staff of the Heavenly God. And it's a Black Rank Weapon, from that alone you can already tell that it is very powerful." Yuki said as she looked at the Staff menacingly on her hand, her gaze somehow contained a bit of anger towards the Staff but she knows that it was her fault for such a thing to happen.

"A Black Rank Weapon!?" All of them gasped out of shock as they saw the weapon in Yuki's hand in a much different light. Even seeing a Red Rank Item was already rare enough and considering that there are only a few dozens of people in the Mystic Dragon Heaven who owns a Red Rank Item, it was not even a question of what would happen if the news of a Black Rank item appeared in their heaven. This is the first time in their life to seen a Black Item personally.

"I know that is not everything about that weapon, tell me about it, Yuki. Because even I cannot see what kind of weapon it is?" Serene questions with all seriousness as she looks at Yuki with cold and piercing eyes. Ayame was quite shocked to see Serene looking at Yuki with such cold eyes but she was even more shocked when she heard that not even Serene can know the power of the Staff.

"That's what I'm already going to do. Does your pride hurt so much because you cannot see how powerful this weapon is? So shut up and just listen to me." Yuki was already in a bad mood and seeing Serene glare at her, she cannot help but snap at her.

"The Staff of the Heavenly God reacts to its wielder. It would transform according to the nature of the user, and that is why it looks like this, it's exactly because of my nature and personality. A dark, cold-blooded killer, mysterious, cold, and exactly every nature that you have. That is the reason why you weren't able to read it, it is also the reason why all of you fell under its pressure because I am someone who is a menace that would kill anyone." Yuki smiled as she looked at everyone, and seeing that smile everyone understood that Yuki has completely accepted what kind of a person she is, but little did they know that under that smile a creeping sadness and guilt was laying in her heart for being who she is right now.

"So… don't worry Anna. Touch this Staff and see it change its appearance according to your personality and nature." Yuki shook her head once more as thinking about such things is useless as it wouldn't do any good for her, so she ignored it for now. She then handed the Staff of the Heavenly God to Anna's hand, and once her hand left the Staff it began to glow brightly and under its golden bright light, it soon began to change its appearance.

From its abyss-black handle, it turned into a white rod with golden runes all around it, and finally, the most terrifying part of the Staff which was the hands soon vanished and was replaced with one singular red orb. But that was not all of the change that happened, on top of it was the head of a bat, while on the sides of the red orb, the bat's wings seemed to be protecting it.

Ding!

[The Staff of the Heavenly God changed from "Endless Nightmare Hand" to " Protector of the Vampire Race. There will be no change in the Stats of the weapon as only the appearance has changed.]

"Congratulations, it looks like you were the chosen one… The one who will save the Vampire Race." Yuki said to Anna who was completely shocked after what just happened, at first she was shocked because this was not the outcome she had expected but she was not bragging about her being a kind and gentle woman. She expected something different, as Yuki has stated that it would base on the appearance of the wielding but it didn't do it in her case. She even got worried that she broke it, but far from that, it seems that the Staff is telling her that she is the future of the Vampire Race.
