《Otherworldly Demon Fox》Chapter 4: The Hydra
Advertisement
Even with my large steps, it took us a day before we were able to locate the Hydra. The whole kilometer radius from the beast became a death zone where no life can be seen even the ground turned purple because of the poison. Feeling heartache looking at the forest that became a poisonous swamp, as the guardian of the forest I can feel the sorrow of the trees and all of the living beings that died.
RRrrrroooooooRRRRR!
Looking at the beast with nine heads like serpents each head identical in each other with the difference in the color in the throat glowing menacingly, body that of a dragon it was so large it can even rival the body size of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. As expected of a beast that roamed of the surface Earth for thousands of years. She wasn't a demi-god for nothing after all.
This beast alone defended the Northside of the Endless forest against the two ambitious but foolish Kingdoms that allied together that wished to make it part of their territory a thousand years ago.
And just like their predecessors they utterly failed resulting in one-sided slaughter. More than seven hundred thousand of their soldiers died just like that with about forty thousand that escaped but because of poison more than one-third of them died in the end. That event reminded the humans that the forest is absolutely untouchable.
Its eyes glowed red menacingly as if it gone mad without sign of intelligence.
"Albion, listen to me what is the meaning of this," I called the Hydra calmly waiting for a response but it seems that he was really gone mad right now. I can't let it run amok anymore it seems that I have to use force.
Just as I was preparing to attack I noticed a creature lying on the ground with a giant hole on it chest, burnt pieces of clothes and armor, a creature that I hadn't seen since I reincarnated that's right it's a human my former race. Looking ahead it seems that it wasn't alone there are three more corpses ahead that look like burnt and poisoned.
And then looking at the eggs scattered in the ground. Reaching to the conclusion it seems that the humans tried to steal its eggs. Although it's not rare for humans to steal eggs of a hydra in the forest since Albion is not the only hydra in the forest.

Although most of them are only three-headed to six-headed hydra but it seems that greed took over the rationality of humans and gambled to steal the eggs of Albion after all the quality of the bloodline of Albion is without a doubt stronger.
Some of you may ask why did Albion is the only hydra that reached the pinnacle of its race well, she really wasn't the first and she wasn't the strongest either but it was hundreds of thousand years ago and at that time she was only an egg. And most of its kin only reached eight-headed hydra. But their kind is still absurd with high regeneration seemingly close to immortality.
They are like a weapon of mass destruction, with its absurdly strong poison it can completely dominate the battlefield or used to poison the water and soil of an enemy kingdom. That's why they are the most targeted.
"Ceria, I have to leave you for a while"
"Y-yes sir" startled she answered absentmindedly.
It was the first time she saw the King of the North up close. Its monstrous size alone is intimidating coupled with the apocalyptic background. And if it wasn't for the barrier deployed by the Demon Fox she would be in a coma just from the enormous mana it continuously emits alone and killed because of the poison.
After their exchange, he immediately controlled the mana and willed it to make Ceria float. Watching her until she was far enough to not get caught up in the upcoming fight between the two godlike beings.
GRRrrrr!
Releasing a growl I lowered my body near the ground like a predator ready to pounce to the prey.
My enormous body glowed in gold, the manifestation of my mana looking very majestic and holy.
Everyone has their own colors it also changes based on the emotions of the user.
*swoosh*
Leaping toward the rampaging beast I suddenly realized that my blood is boiling I feel excited I can't help but flash grin as my golden iris glowed ominously.
The hydra suddenly felt danger and look to her back she only saw a shadow as she abruptly look above her multiple heads. She shivered as she looked at those ferocious eyes glowing fiercely looking at her like prey. Those eyes cleared her mind as she realized what she has done but it was too late the fox already pounced on her. When she realized it she immediately braces herself for the impact.

*Swoosh* *Crash* BbaaaM!!!
Creating a shockwave so strong it bends the branches of the trees kilometers away from them. Then they rolled several times and when the fox regained its balance it immediately lowered its head preparing to bite the neck of the Hydra.
"W-w-wait wat wait, I surrender so please stop already!". Pleaded the Hydra. One of my neck almost get ripped off there complained Albion inwardly.
Tsk....
"Did you just *tsk* there!"
"You're just imagining things Albion, it seems that you're not yet sober so let me.."
"W-wait I said I'm okay already!" she shouted anxiously.
*sigh* okay, okay Long time no see Albion". smiling brightly while showing a toothy grin.
"Your Majesty it was only a decade ago since we last met".
It's almost a month since I reincarnated so my sense of time wasn't the same with them. And I wasn't exactly the same person she met either.
"Ahahaha….". I laughed awkwardly." Is that so"
"By the way, you should probably keep your eggs in a safe place".
"Actually the eggs aren't mine it was entrusted to me by one of my sisters".
" I see.. ah.wait a minute" I walked towards Ceria seeing her adorable face expression that looked extremely shocked hanging her mouth open, enlarged eyes with stars looking at him with admiration.
"I thought you will get scared but it seems I'm worrying for nothing". smiling at her while thinking when did her shyness go.
"T-that's awesome Your Majesty you're so strong I-I want to be like you too when I grow up".
" Okay, okay I'm sure you will grow up strong". I said while rubbing her head gently. He wasn't really lying when he said that after all a normal adult Minotaur can rival the trained warriors of the human race with ease. Though it seems that it was hard for minotaurs to get pregnant compared to humans, if not they already would've already retaliated to the skirmishes between their tribe and the "adventurers" of the humans.
"ehehehe it tickles your majesty". Squirming while showing adorable expression.
"*Ahem* care to introduce her to me, Your majesty". Said Albion feeling left out.
Ceria immediately cowered shivering in fear as Albion walk towards us while shaking the ground with her gigantic frame.
Albion- You don't have to be that scared little one.
After she said that a blinding light appeared and a mature beauty with a playful expression replaced the hydra with dark blue hair and dark blue eyes, a thin waist and a huge bossom. Well, I didn't expect that.
"U-um Hello Your.." Ceria showed a difficult expression. Ah. I forgot that I don't have a name yet, I guess I am too excited scratch that he was just too lazy and forgot about it.
Albion- Now that I think about it no one knows your name, your majesty. All of us just call your title. Like the King of the Endless Forest, the Malevolent Demon Fox. The Guardian of the Endless Forest and um, now that I think about it you were also called the World's End.. fufufu I can't help but laugh seeing the expression of those pathetic humans if they heard your name.
I can't help but sweat hearing those titles. Although those title seems exaggerated but the truth is it wasn't really as someone that ended the Era of Gods. Now that I think about the memories of my body before I take over are full mundane things like playing with animals and chewing a glowing crystal most likely a mana crystal as they called.
*ahem* Okay um let me think about a name...….Al.. Alfius call me Alfius." I feel like I really belong in this world now that I have given myself a name. I should've done it long ago. Looking at the sky while thinking about mundane things.

The Abyss That Stares
In an unremarkable forest in the world of Stillera, there lies a laboratory that houses various experiments, and genetically modified lifeforms. A team of researchers look up from their observation room, studying the domed arena. One of them leans forward, speaking into a microphone. "X1, move to testing grounds." A dark shadow emerges from one side, tentacles covered in eyes waving through the air as it inspects the arena. The shadow notices them staring at it. So it stares back. (The premise of this novel is heavily inspired by Super Minion. Everything else, not so much.)
