《Death… And Me》Death... And Me
Advertisement
As soon as Roan arrived outside of the Spiritual Sense Protection Formation, he saw three Demon Beasts floating in the air in front of Kentucky. Like cultivators in the Core and Soul Fusion Realm and above, Demon beasts can also fly independently of their race at Stage Five.
At the moment, there was a black wolf with two horns, a snake with blue scales and three eyes, and a green-colored demon bird with four wings. The first one was a Shadow Splitter Wolf, which was not so rare on this planet. The second one was a Streak Python. As for the last one, it was a Wind Sazan, also quite common like the Shadow Splitter Wolf in the Tribes' Zone. Of course, these beasts at the Stage Five level were very rare nonetheless.
Roan then approached Kentucky and bowed before asking, "Master, do you need my help?"
Kentucky, knowing that Roan was acting like before, snorted as he responded, "Hmph! Do I look like someone who needs help?"
The demon beasts in front were taken aback by that scene. "So, that idiot bull was saying the truth, huh?" the black wolf said as he looked at Roan's respectful expression.
Hearing that, Kentucky said, "What do you want? I got this territory from a proper fight. If you want to take it, you'll have to pass over me first." Kentucky kept his overbearing act, not showing any fear from the disadvantage in numbers.
However, the Wind Sazan shook its head as he replied, "We didn't come here to fight you. First of all, only weak demon beasts would need the help of others in their own fights. That being said, we wouldn't gang up on you unless there was a good reason for it."
The Streak Python nodded, continuing where the previous one left off. "The Wind Sazan's words aren't lies. We only came to verify whether the idiot bull was telling the truth or not. However, after seeing this human's behavior towards you, we can only believe in it."

Kentucky couldn't help but say in response, "Isn't that obvious? If I got a Zasfin, then it was fine to doubt whether or not he was my slave. However, this is just a human. Do you think I would submit to something like that? It was only out of convenience that I helped this thing reach the Nascent Soul Realm." Kentucky then looked at Roan before asking, "Isn't that right, idiot?"
Roan suppressed the urge to kick Kentucky as he nodded, responding, "Yes, Master. Thank you for keeping me alive."
Kentucky was satisfied with that answer, saying, "That's good." After that, he turned his attention to the demon beasts and asked, "So, is there anything you want to do? To be honest, that demon bull was just too weak. He lost in just a single exchange. If some of you don't mind, I would be very happy to do some sparring."
The three demon beasts then looked at each other after that. They heard from the Demon Bull that it had lost in a single strike. However, they doubted that. Nevertheless, seeing Kentucky talk with such confidence made them have second thoughts.
Nevertheless, they were still demon beasts. Since Kentucky challenged them, how could they step back? Demon beasts had always been very prideful, and it wouldn't change even now.
"Oh, I like your spirit," the Shadow Splitter Wolf said in response to Kentucky's words. "In that case, let me see what you're capable of."
Kentucky smiled and immediately flew back to the ground as he soon said, "Good. In that case, I'll give you the ground advantage. I'm a demon bird, after all. If I fought you in the air, it would be too much of a handicap for you."
The wolf's mouth twitched after hearing that. That was the same as saying that Kentucky could win on the ground where he was at a disadvantage. "Hmph! If you want to get hurt that badly, then let me fulfill your wish."

The Streak Python and the Wind Sazan looked at each other for a moment. The wolf was obviously better on the ground, so it was a good chance to see Kentucky's power. That being said, they decided not to intervene and see what would happen before making any move. Besides, even if Roan was a slave, he was still in the Nascent Soul Realm, so he could at least bother them for a while.
Well, the truth was that Kentucky already fought head-on against the Demon Bull, who had greater raw strength than the Shadow Splitter Wolf. If even the Demon Bull couldn't break through Kentucky's defense, then let alone the wolf.
*Arrrrgh!*
The wolf was much faster, so he was able to last longer than the Demon Bull. In any case, Kentucky was just too strong against other demon beasts of the same level. In the end, the wolf was taken by surprise by one of Kentucky's attacks before receiving quite a few serious injuries. With that, he hastily shouted, "I...I give up."
Kentucky smiled as he flew in the air again. He had no intention to kill the wolf from the very start. "You were weaker than the bull but lasted longer, so it was quite fun." Kentucky then looked at the other two before asking, "I still have a lot of energy remaining. Do any of you two want to give it a try?"
The Streak Phyton and the Wind Sazan immediately shook their heads as one of them replied, "As demon beasts, we wouldn't usually refuse a challenge. However, the disparity in power between you and us is just too big. There is a difference between being brave and being an idiot. Fighting you would obviously be the second option."
Kentucky didn't mind that, saying in response, "Well, it's up to you. In any case, this valley is mine now. So, don't try to enter it without my permission."
The three demon beasts nodded after hearing that. However, they still didn't leave as their tasks here weren't finished yet. "That's fine. Still, we didn't come here just to pay you a visit."
Kentucky put on a puzzled look as he asked in response, "What else do you need?"
The three demon beasts looked at each other for a moment before nodding. Soon, one of them answered, "The Blue Luan heard that you got two Nascent Soul humans as slaves. He wants to know how he can get a few of them himself."
Kentucky was taken aback for a moment by that. Those guys were obviously talking about the Stage Six Demon Beast, the only one capable of threatening his group in this place. Though, not long after, Kentucky received a Spiritual Sense Message from Roan, telling him what to say.
"Isn't that obvious?" Kentucky then pointed at Roan and explained, "Look at his neck. I'm also using those slave collars to control him, just like the Zasfins did. It was quite expensive, but it's worth the price once you make them work for you for as long as they did for me." Sure enough, those fake slave collars came in handy once again.
"So, that's how it is..." The injured wolf nodded before asking something else. "However, aren't you afraid of him breaking out of it and attacking you at some point?"
Kentucky shook his head in response as he replied, "Nope. After all, I'm too strong. Hahaha!"
If the ones in front of him were Zasfins or humans, they would think Kentucky was getting ahead of himself. However, they were all demon beasts, and the mighty was right in their world. Kentucky's actions were well within how a demon beast should behave.
"Alright, last thing. What race are you from?" And with that, the question that puzzled everyone there came out.
"That's a secret. Hahaha!" Too bad Kentucky had no intention of answering it at all.

Grumbo (Grian x Mumbo) Fanfic
Okay so I need to point out a few things. 1. I only ship the characters Grian and Mumbo, not Charles and Oli. This means that I am just shipping fictional characters. Basically, I ship Grian and Mumbo (as real live people) but not as Charles and Oli. (hopefull that makes sense)2. I don't ship a sexual relationship between them, for those who don't know, I don't write things like that, and I also don't generally like that. 3. This is most likely gonna include other hermitcraft characters, (again, the characters, not the actual people who play the characters) but none will be in any relationships they'll just be the friendly background people and friends. Rankings: #1 in grianxmumbojumbo#3 in hermitcraft7#15 in Mumbo (out of 494 stories)This story will be taken down if any hermits related to the story state they are uncomfortable with being a part of shipping/fanfiction (or names will be changed, depending on the person). If either Grian or Mumbo states they are uncomfortable with being shipped the story will be taken down immediately! I think that's it... well, enjoy the story!
