The only problem now was transportation, if we all move together then we will surely attract attention. So the plan now is that Me and my group will travel together along with Melon while Senior and Homo will take a long detour towards the enemy castle. We all separated after getting out of the forest and started our journey towards the enemy castle, nothing much happened during our journey, no monsters, no bandits. It was boring actually. As we passed by cities and villages controlled by the dogs, we never forgot to plant a bomb on their city hall or the village alpha's house we made sure not to injure anyone else other than the dogs. Every time we finish planting a monster core bomb. Melon would always take a feather from his wing and would stab it on the bomb, according to him, it will serve as the antenna.

"Hey, why did you decide on a surprise attack? except for the reason that we lack forces" Melon asked

"Element of surprise as they say it, if we charged ahead then the dog will surely set up some defenses which will cause us trouble" I explained

"True" Melon nodded his head,

"Hey, care to explain Terra to me? It's been half a month"

"You ask that now?"

"I was busy" I scratched my cheek in embarrassment

"Hehe, alright. Terra is the paradise of beastmen, humans here are treated the same as they are treated back in Gaia, like some animal or a lower life form"

"Wait, why did you guys trust me then?"

"Because you've proven yourself to us, also, Jiro's daughter recognized you, she has a good eye for people you know"

"Oh"

"Moving on, Terra is not really that peaceful, like Gaia, we also face the demons but we have the 6 Guardians that fight against them. The 6 guardians are the 6 strongest tribes that are stationed in different locations of Terra, The wolves in the north, the Nagas and Slithereens in the north-west, Lion's pride in the west, the Reptiles in the south-west, Dogs in the south, and finally the now newly formed Fox Familia in the east"

"This Fox Familia..."

"Yes, This is Blue's Familia, The Fox Familia was the Guardian family in the east but due to their downfall... yeah... long story short, we, the Garuda, Centaur, and Slithereens worked together to protect the east of Terra alongside little Blue"

"...I knew she had it hard but not this hard..."

"It is too much of a burden for a young lady like her...anyway, the role of the Guardians is simple, we have to fight off the demons because if they managed to get into Terra, they will be able to enter your world, Gaia"

"What?!"

"Yes, there are three worlds in total. The demons world, then Terra, and finally Gaia. Terra is the world that connects the two"

"But, the demons are already invading Gaia!"

"What?!"

"It's been going on for a while now"

"This is bad, we must make sure our world never falls because if one of our worlds gets taken over then we will be as good as dead!"

"...We will do our best but like you guys... we are also facing circumstances back home"

"You also have it hard young lad"

"Yes..."

"How did the demons enter your world though, I'm pretty sure no demon penetrated our defenses in the east... I don't know about the others though..."

"Let's not talk about this for now, we already arrived at the next city"

We have traversed through thick forests, scorching deserts and before finally arriving at the Dog's kingdom. According to Milly, this dog, Shiba, was once they ally against the wolves but he suddenly betrayed them on the most critical point in the war which led to Blue's defeat, she managed to buy time by holding the others off while telling the others that I will surely come for her... she really believes in me so I don't want to disappoint her, just a few more days Blue, don't worry, I'll come for you.

Lorelei castle, heavily guarded, has guards that amount up to 500. This castle is the place where the wedding will take place next month, I got enough time to prepare my infiltration. I asked Melon to teach me how to set up the monster bombs so that I can secretly plant some on the Castle walls while he plants some on the city walls, this will serve as a distraction or something we can use as we escape after rescuing Blue. A week passed and no one suspects a thing, I always used [Vanish] before entering the castle and planting some bombs in the soldiers' quarters and the places where they frequently gather or pass through. Senior and the others still haven't arrived...

"Bad news young lad!" Melon quickly barged inside our room in an inn that we stayed in

"What is it?" I was nervous

"The Dog just announced that the wedding will take place tomorrow!"

"WHAT?!" my heart sank, looks like I really have to go in and rescue Blue but without Senior and the others, it will be equal to giving myself to them

"According to the info I gathered, Senior and the others got discovered on their way here which made that Shiba anxious, he wants to get it done and fast!"

"Fucking cunt!" I cursed out

"What do we do now?" Mira asked

"...I hope senior and the others will make it here tomorrow..." I muttered

"...We can get through this! I know it!" Arachne smiled, she was always optimistic

"Lyan always has a way" Mira smiled

"Let's massacre our way through them!" Mizu's battle hunger was rising

"Lyan's fiance is my friend too...I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself" Valeria tried to cheer me or herself on

'I agree with that octopus girl!' Rea was a battle maniac/pervert

'Please no gore...' Lea muttered, I'm sorry but I'll have to disappoint you...

'Do what you want' Raija woke up and spoke out before going back to sleep

I'm scared that I might fail but with people around them, I can't help but feel confident. I mustn't fail them nor Blue

It was now a race against time so I asked everyone except for Garuda to prepare, if every human here were treated as lower life forms then I'm betting that there are human slaves. We will blend amongst them and infiltrate the wedding, I asked Melon the roles of the slaves in this wedding and his answer didn't disappoint me. Slaves were going to be used as servers of food

That night, we easily infiltrated the castle. I have entered this place too many times to know where the guards usually patrol, I could go and save Blue but the place where she is locked in is the most heavily guarded place within the castle. We found the slave's quarters and managed to blend among them, the slaves were all asleep like the slave master so we didn't attract any attention. We now wore small pieces of fabric that only covered some parts of our bodies, I asked everyone to not stand out too much tomorrow because there might be some groping from the Castle's guests...

This plan hangs on my bet that Senior and the others arrive tomorrow, if not then plan B will be all about escaping as we let them have a taste of Melon's explosives

I didn't sleep that night because I kept thinking of different scenarios we will face and ways to escape them.

The sun rose and the day of the wedding has come, all the slaves were woken up by the slave master's roar. Everyone was whipped and forced to go to the kitchen while the others at the wedding hall, me and my group was sent to the wedding hall. The wedding hall was large, it looked like the interior of a church, decorated pillars were everywhere, the rows of seat almost number up to a hundred. I looked around and saw exhausted slaves, some of them were even dead, they were overworked last night and our job is to make sure that everything is properly decorated while we pull the dead exhausted out of the wedding hall. 12:00 pm, the time of the wedding, we slaves were forced on one side of the hall while all the guests were happily talking to each other. The wedding hall was decorated with dark things like heads of humans in spears or a demon's skull hanging here and there, the food was like a buffet style meats of large monsters were roasted and put on a long table.

The groom, Shiba came in and went to the front, everyone clapped. Target acquired, or something like that.

"Dear guests, I thank you for coming all the way here to my wedding on such short notice. I know everyone is eager to see the bride so without further ado, I present to you, Blue Mirrorlake!" Shiba announced

The door opened and there she was, the lady that I swore to marry... her hands were cuffed and two wolves urged her to walk forward... she had this look of dread and sadness in her eyes. It was a painful torture, I might've been quiet when I was in Gaia but to be honest, I always thought about her... your first time is really unforgettable huh...

I noticed something... she had a weird vial hidden in her hand, everyone was too busy marveling at her in some kind of a wedding dress? no, it wasn't a wedding dress, it was just pieces of fabric sewn together... she looked like a slave... her tails were the only thing covering her lower areas...

SHIBA! I roared out in my head, I cannot forgive this motherfucker

She finally stood in front of Shiba, come on Melon, Senior... not you Homo, don't disappoint me now, Homo, you're a disappointment

My wish was granted and I heard an explosion come from the city walls

"WE THE FOX FAMILIA WILL DESTROY THIS MARRIAGE!" I heard Senior's loud voice

"FUCKER! YOU GUYS GO!" Shiba roared out at all the wolves that stood guard

All the wolves within the room hurriedly left, perfect, just as planned

"COME ON LET'S START THE WEDDING!" Shiba roared out at the shaman that was supposed to be like a priest in a human's wedding

I looked at Mira and nodded, Mira assassinated the slave master before releasing a gas that she set up earlier. The gas was colorless and odorless, everyone in my group wrapped a cloth around our noses that was soaked in the antidote beforehand.

The gas worked it's magic but there were still some that noticed it and covered their noses just in time, it was the wolves and the dogs.

"MOTHERFUCKER, SHOW YOURSELVES!" Shiba also covered his nose

Everyone, except for the wolf family, dog family, Shiba, and Blue was knocked out. We already put on our gear in the time that the gas spread around and knocked out most of the guests

I brought out Rea and Lea before using [Storm Dash] and appearing behind Shiba, I infused both blades with [Fireball] and swung them down on Shiba. Shiba was surprised, Rea and Lea almost reached his head when two claws stabbed their advance. A ten-foot werewolf stopped Rea and Lea with his bare claws

"Lyan!" Blue was happy and distressed at the same time

"Lyan?!" Shiba, on the other hand, was surprised and furious

"Who are you?" The werewolf asked

"I'm her fiance!" I roared out infused Rea and Lea with [Flame stream] blazing flames spew out of them and burned the werewolf's arm

"General Gulag, it's fine, I can take care of this human. Why don't you go and face the other bitches instead?" Shiba talked to the werewolf and pointed at Mira and the others

"As you say" The werewolf bowed and howled out, one more werewolf stood up from the guest seat while two Dog-beastmen stood up from their seats

"A 4 on 4 match" Gulag looked at the Mira and the others

"Better be careful, you are facing 4 generals from two tribes!" Shiba laughed

"Shut up!" I roared out and shot forward

Shiba pushed Blue aside before the last member from the wolf and dog family held her and pulled her to the side

I swung Rea down but he only moved to the side and dodged, he brought a sword and attacked me but I blocked with Lea, I used [Storm Dash] and appeared beside him before infusing Rea with [Fire stream] which created [Fire path] and sent it towards him. He jumped up and brought out a shield which he now wore on his left arm, he came crashing down as he pointed his sword towards me. I jumped back and he stabbed the spot where I used to be, I didn't miss this chance and threw Lea towards him while he was still recovering but he blocked it with his shield

"Not bad, but is this all you've got?" Shiba laughed

I looked at my waist and noticed a small cut, when did he do it? I had my eyes on him the entire time

"Lyan! he's cheating! there are two werewolves above you that are throwing knives!" Blue screamed before her mouth was covered by a werewolf

I looked above and there 2 pairs of glowing eyes looking at me

"Are you sure you have the time to look at them?!" Shiba shot forward and slashed, I jumped back and evaded his attack but a knife grazed me on my right arm.

Those two are annoying, I have to take them out first. I used [Dragon dash] and appeared above, I spun around while infusing Rea with [Fire stream] which turned into a firestorm that roasted the two wall crawlers

I landed on the ground and started my onslaught against Shiba, He could only block with his shield. I can win this in the next move but I noticed in the corner of my eyes that Mira and the others were having a hard time with their fights, There was a werewolf that snuck behind Mira and was about to claw on her back but I spun around and threw Rea. The werewolf didn't notice my attack and was impaled right in the stomach before Rea went through him and impaled a pillar behind, Mira jumped back and regrouped with everyone. I abandoned my fight with Shiba and took Lea before taking Rea and regrouping with everyone.

The point of this journey was saving Blue, together. I won't let anyone die.

Everyone was exhausted and wounded except for me, those generals were over level 200 at least... it was already amazing that everyone held up to this point.

"Hohoho, ain't this a pleasant turn of events" Shiba walked beside the three generals

"Cunt" I looked at Shiba and spoke

"You know, there's something special with us werewolves, we have evolved" Gulag laughed and showed me his claws

I noticed a few blood on it but more than that, there was a yellowish liquid coming out of it

"! No!" Mira was shocked

"What's wrong?" I asked without looking back

"I can't move my body!" Mira slumped down to the ground, everyone also fell to the ground with shock on their faces

"hehe, paralyzing toxin, werewolves have evolved for the better" Shiba laughed

My heart sank

"Hehe, you two, stay there and...." Shiba talked to the other two dog-beastmen generals

I quickly moved Mira and the others all the way back before facing Shiba and Gulag

"Hehe, it's time for a feast!" Shiba roared out and ran forward while brandishing his sword while Gulag ran beside him

Shiba swung his sword and I jumped back, Gulag appeared behind me and attacked but I used [Storm dash] and kicked Shiba in the face before spinning around and slashing Rea towards Gulag. Shiba was sent flying while Gulag blocked with his claws

"Now!" Shiba was kicked but he happily shouted, I saw the two dogs throw spears towards Mira and the others.

I used [Storm dash] and arrived in front of Mira and the others in the nick of time, I didn't have time to prepare to block so I just used my body as a shield. My right arm and left leg were impaled by the spears, Mira and the others refused to watch. I pulled off the spears... looks like I have to go all out

"...[Dragonic Armor]" I muttered under my breath before a menacing silhouette of the Dragon King appeared behind me and turning into my armor

"What the?!" Shiba was shocked

"Looks like this will be fun" Gulag smiled

"..a..a a.. A-A DRAGON!" the two dog-beastmen were intimidated so was the two animals holding Blue hostage

I used [Storm dash] and appeared in front of Blue, I grabbed the heads of the two animals and crashed it, blood and pieces of brain splattered everywhere but I ignored it and grabbed Blue before returning to Mira and the other's and letting her sit there. I looked at my next targets

9 seconds

Shiba ran towards me with his sword while Gulag ran beside him, I used storm dash and appeared in between them before sending Shiba a kick to the face while I punched Gulag in the stomach, Shiba was sent flying while Gulag managed to block with his left arm. Shiba recovered rather quickly and ran towards Blue while Gulag faced me, his left arm was definitely broken.

8 seconds

I used [Dragon dash] and punched Gulag in the stomach before grabbing his head and throwing him towards Shiba, Gulag hit Shiba in the stomach and they both crashed at one of the pillars

"You fucking dogs! what are you doing?!" Shiba roared out at the two dog-beastmen that were shivering with fear in the corner

The two dog-beastmen ran forwards frantically towards Blue and the others but I only brought out Rea and cut them in half

7 seconds

"Hehe...HAHAHA, AFTER ALL I'VE DONE THIS STILL HAPPENS!" Shiba was laughing like a maniac

"You FUCKER! THIS IS FOR BLUE!" I appeared beside him and broke his left arm, before kicking him in the stomach

Gulag tried to attack me but I placed my right arm on his upper mandible while my left arm on his lower jaw, I forcefully tore his mouth open and ripped him in half while showering in his blood

6 seconds

Shiba was now crawling backward, he clawed at his face

"...What the?" Shiba clawed on his face until he finally removed the skin and what I saw was... another werewolf?

"Gray?!" Blue was shocked

"That's right! I'm not that dog Shiba! I'm Gray Wolfenstein! the son of the man that you killed Blue Mirrorlake!" He pointed his arm towards Blue

"Hehe... that Shiba was easy to manipulate, at first, he really was eager to marry you so I proposed that he betray you and when I win, I will forcefully marry him to you but that Shiba suddenly told me that he doesn't want to do it anymore so I had no choice but to kill him and impersonate him" Gray was laughing

"Shut up!" I grabbed his head and slammed him to the ground before breaking his right foot

"ARGH!! KILL ME! FUCKING KILL ME NOW!" Gray kept shouting

5 seconds

"I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFER FIRST!" I started breaking all of his fingers as he kept releasing blood-curdling screams

After that, I started forcefully removing each of his teeth

4 seconds

"YOU FUCKER! I WILL REMEMBER YOU!" Gray kept screaming

"REMEMBER THIS!" I pulled out both his eyes and pointed it at his mangled body

"RAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!" He kept flailing his arms and foot

3 seconds

I forcefully opened his rib cage and started pulling out his innards until I reached his beating heart

2 seconds

"Do you know how I felt when I discovered how you've been treating Blue?!" I asked

"...Fu..ck.. you!" His voice was weak

"It fucking felt like this!" I crushed his heart with both my arms

1 second

Gray was now dead and I started walking towards Mira and the others, I broke the cuffs on Blue's arm

0

The armor vanished and I fell to the ground but Blue managed to catch my weary and sore body, she kept crying as she hugged me

"I was so scared" She kept crying

"It's okay now"

"Thank you... thank you..."

No... I felt my consciousness fading... I mustn't sleep... we still need to escape...

Everything went dark
