[Forest Dungeon]

[Simba, the dark lion point of view]

Six years ago, I managed yo caught the current Avery, who's around 9-10 years old at that time. The same little girl who's trying her best to suppress her vomit out of fear at that time is currently standing strong and still, leading the fairies in this battle.

Six years ago, it was Princess Diana of Estel, her bodyguards, The Valkyrie and the adventures together with the monstrous Mahsuri that were standing in my way. Now, it's Singa as well as his adoptive brother and sister of the orphanage that comes to help the Avery. Only things remain the same is that both the S rank siblings adventure Anjin and Kucin was there then and are currently facing me off once more. The two of them have been the one that fought us, to further continue Leogris ambitious of making peace with human alikes. An admirable goals, but

"I am the same, only our paths are different" [Simba]

"""???""" [Kucin, Anjin, Singa]

Still, this special stones that were made by the two traitorous princes of demon kingdom, I can see when the other say that's it's highly addictive. This is no mere stones, there must be a drug combine with it. I don't know the full details of it, but I'm 100% sure while the monsterification of our beasthood is minimized, the chance of not getting dependent on it is even slimmer, unless what those two and the old demon king plan bore fruitful, and to further increase it, having an Avery by my side is more vital than ever.

"Har... He grew larger..." [Titania]

"I just hope he doesn't get any larger than Reshir" [Ant Aries]

"You two never saw Zin the giant aren't you..." (Zin is way larger than Reshir if I'm being honest)[Charlotte]

And thus, my counterattack start

"Hell volcano! Multiple eruption!" [Simba]

""Earth! Cover us all!"" [Ant Aries, Karon]

Volcanic eruption with projectiles of fires rain above them, with the Holy Beast of Earth and the Serial killer dwarf's son covering them all, but, I won't make it easy for them

"Fire mana zone: Suicidal Tiger" [Simba]

"Beastly transformation: Splinter cat: Dark mana zone: Suicidal bomber" [Kucin]

"Dark mana zone: Dark abyssal bullet" [Zerolith]

Explosion upon Explosion, and by the looks of it

""Wind!!! Blew the fire away!!!"" [Kara, Mara]

""Fire redirection!!"" [Rean, Elise]

I still have the overwhelming advantages, and the Avery and Singa attack is getting desperate. I can tell that the Avery is on a time counter, which mean I should just waste her precious time and let her run out of her power. Only thing is

(They're the ten heroes... That's a mountainous task to do) [Simba]

In a way, I am also having the same timer. Once the Avery is all out of power, I need to take her and run away fast, before they go beyond their normal limitations to try and rescue the Avery

"Fire swipe!" [Simba]

"Tchh!" [Khamishah]

""GAAAHH!!"" [Lara, Nara]

"The three of you! Are you guys fine!?" [Savel]

"Just focus on Simba!" [Khamishah]

I can't let them take even a breather. Keep pressuring them until they can't even stand properly

But... Before I even know it

""Dark mana zone: Suicidal bomber bullets"" [Kucin, Zerolith]

They also start their counterattack. Those two join their spells together, creating a special spell of suicidal cat bullet, that have self aiming property, with each bullets targeting my vital as well as the Holy Beast of Fire vitals

"Useless!" [Simba]

The fire armour of mine grew even powerful. It can consume even mana itself and thus, no attack can even harm me at this point

"Water magic: Raging water ship!" [Charlotte]

"I have been expecting you" [Simba]

The youngest of them with phenomenal water affinity start barraging me with a water spell. With the cannons on board firing multiple water spells independent of it caster, and there is something in the center of each spell

(A rabbit golem?) [Simba]

And now that I take a closer inspection, not only on her spell, but also on the suicidal bomber bullets.

"What... What is this?" [Simba]

There is... There is countless of the rabbit shape golem. I can confidently said that all of these rabbit shape golems are clones of a single rabbit golem currently riding on top of the Avery. Not only that, they're creating something unique... The Avery, the serial killer dwarf's son, and the Holy Beast of Earth, they're putting their mana onto the main body of the rabbit golems, and the rate at which the rabbit golem multiplies goes crazy, and what even crazier, each clones are capable of independent thinking. They purposely let themselves get destroy, before any remaining mana get send back into the main body, for which the rabbit analyze it. It purpose is...

"Water magic: Extreme cannon ball! Go Bobunny!!!" [Charlotte]

~Confident chuckling~

A large water cannon spell traveling at high velocity hit me. Instead of getting evaporated like before, this time around

"A direct hit!" [Charlotte]

"This but a mere splash..." [Simba]

"And it won't be long before the mere splash kill you!" [Farhah]

If that's indeed the case

"!" [Farhah]

"Space magic: Teleportation!" [Singa]

I simply need to grab the Avery now itself! I couldn't afford to risk it any longer or else

"Krakeny! Hold him!" [Charlotte]

"Earth giant puppet! Block him" [Karon]

A mere kraken golem and puppet of earth is nothing more than a mere obstacles for me

""Behe!! Are you ready!!"" [Lara, Nara]

"Roar!" [Behe]

"Mrs Saga!" [Savel]

"I know! Mirage magic: Armour of giant" [Khamishah]

Those twin, they're doing something with the Empress Behemoth... The giant adamantoise turtle, they're putting some strange spell on it.

"SHIT!" (I NEED TO STOP THEM!" [Simba]

They're putting gravity manipulation spell together with the Empress Behemoth so that

"Too late!" [Khamishah]

That damn saga with her Monstrous strength. She simply toss that giant adamantoise into me! Even when I knew what will hit me, the damn hard shell of the turtle still hit hard. Plus, all of my men, they're still inside...

"Burn to hell!" [Simba]

"BOSS!"

"We are still inside!"

"Please! It suffocating"

Forgive me... I'm sure those scream will haunts me till hell itself

"What a cruel leader you are. Someone like you whose goals justify the mean could never be a great person" [Titania]

"That I know, but someone need to..." [Simba]

"An exact opposite of the beast king..." [Titania]

As the Fairy Queen mention that, the youngest hero pull out multiple of her large cannon spell,

"All water fairies! Support Charlotte now!" [Calypso]

"Hey! I was about to make that call!" [Farhah]

"Too late!" [Calypso]

The youngest blue hair hero as well as water fairies combined, and they manage to extinguish my fire armour after countless number of spell hitting me. This moment is what those heroes are waiting for, and as soon as it presented itself

"Wood magic: Wood entrapment!" [Farhah]

""""""Earth magic: Earth pitfall!!!!!!"""""" [Ant Aries, Kara, Mara, Lara, Nara, Karon]

"Singa! Now!" [Rean]

"Savel! Go and support him!" [Elise]

"YES""I WILL" [Singa] [Savel]

The two of them get themselves ready to slice me up with their sword. I can still make it if I just

"Fire magic: Fire..." [Simba]

"I DON'T THINK SO" [Zerolith]

A loud bang, and the bullet from the demon hero hit my palm, loosen the grasp of my sword. I'm glad this body is strong or else my palm will be there no more. Still, it doesn't matter, I can simply fire off a random fire spell

""Keep going!!"" [Anjin, Kucin]

The two S rank adventure block the spell with their own bodies. Damn it! Damn it!

"DAMN IT! Useless nephew!" [Simba]

"Who?" [Singa]

In a last ditch effort to avoid the two incoming sword attack, I let my nephew slice off his mother lifeless body, detaching it from the head of the Holy Beast of Fire, Hell Tiger Har
