Little fox’s adventures!

****(POV)

I might be one of the weakest of the rank 4 here. However most of the powerhouses here would rather not fight against me.

One part being our position as the new generation of the endless forest.

One part being my mastery of shadow magic.

One part being my cunning.

To be fair I am competing with beast kings that tend to solve things…. let's say with overwhelming force most of the time.

The current me is facing an obstacle in my path for one of the first times in my life.

(＞Д＜)ゝ

Or was in any case. I believe I just solved the issue.

A new enemy appeared. One that has the backing of the representative.

A being we cannot offend. While she may be a rank 4 like us, her mastery over her techniques allow her to defeat rank 5 entities without any issue.

That is the gap in seniority.

The gap in ability.

In any case because of it I cannot directly go against this human of hers.

I simply played a few pranks on him.

( ￣∇￣)

That was at the beginning.

The issue is he came for revenge. Then he beat me up. A lot.

At first, I endured. Rationality still prevailing.

At some point my anger took over.

Me who prides himself in his smarts.

I tried to hurt him. Badly.

Tried deadly shadow daggers. Tried to choke him. Tried to steal his soul essence.

Even then I couldn't do anything to him.

No matter how much I struggled.

No matter how much I bit. No matter what I threw at him, he remained untouched.

Then I hatched a plan to team up with my colleague the space mantis to deal with him once and for all.

Now I am making sure of his demise.

Waiting right near the territory of the old ancestor.

I don't know much about him except that he is one of the oldest guardians.

Yes, these inconceivably mighty entities.

That alone makes him unbelievably powerful.

That also makes him prideful. There is no way he will accept this man.

Dealing with a mortal should be easy for one such as him.

I am intently watching the happenings in front of me.

At first, the human is overwhelmed and can't resist much.

However, he is now slowly making his way toward here.

He still has a lot of ground to cover. What am I supposed to do if he reaches here?

Run. Yes, I'll run.

For now, I'll observe.

After all information gathering is one of my specialties. I have shadow wards all over the forest.

Actually not only the forest. Most of the continent too.

Constantly relaying information to me.

|_ ◕)

It is the only thing that prevents me from leaving this place to go play outside.

Well also the safety I can find here. While I am strong, I am in no way infallible.

Let's wait some more…

He's almost out now. I should run away.

But he seems to be having lots of trouble.

I refuse to let him escape that easily.

I invoke my specialty, shadow magic. The attack potential is not the strongest, but it excels at sneak attacks…useless in this case. *sigh*

I will have to attack him head on. Darkness grasp!

I made him fall! Success!

Haha. He is getting dragged back.

Later looser! ( ^_^) v

There is one issue. Why is the ancestor not acting yet?

Did I miscalculate? ( ◕д◕ )

He might be in dormancy again.

Oh no. Please no.

Tell me I did not do all this for nothing. -_-

He is coming back.

Until it is finally confrontation time again.

Shadow magic time! He is solidly planted in the earth this time around.

It is not working. I should have asked for backup. I won't be able to best him this time.

Well. Whatever. Time to ru…wait….haha!

It seems heaven itself is trying to wash away that guy.

But then I realize it.

Yep. That's the old ancestor alright!

The surrounding trees are releasing an enormous quantity of water.

How does a tree even have such meticulous control over water?

In comparison, it would be similar to me controlling my own blood consciously.

Scary! 0_0

Then again. How cool would it be if I could do the same?

You puny lifeforms drown in blood!

ψ(｀∇ ´ )ψ

Well, I digress.

Nice assist old tree! I'd never call him that to his face (trunk?) haha.

Oh, this is gonna be good! He slipped. He is getting dragged back again.

Right into the ancestor's grasp. There is a specific term to describe such a situation.

Royally fucked!

Now get crushed by …..or not.

Why did he stop? His prey was almost dead.

Such a shame.

Guess I'll go for a walk and keep a basic ward there to monitor.

****

This is bad! Something is happening over there!

I only just noticed the issue. Hope it is not too late.

Next to the human is floating an iron hilt.

I know for a fact it wasn't in his possession before. He was totally naked.

But then again it isn't surprising. At all.

Not for one that knows the identity of that weapon.

(ŐдŐ)

Simply calling it a weapon is an offense to its power in fact.

It would be like calling a divine tiger a kitten.

This weapon is a legend.

The bringer of Calamity.

It is said to be the instrument that will spell the doom of this world.

Wherever it appears massacre happens.

More so the requirement to wield it is to indulge gleefully in slaughter.

It is the weapon of a madman.

It doesn't make any sense.

This is the killing tool of the Eagle of Massacre.

That fighting maniac.

That nonsensical swordsman.

A killing machine way too strong to be a rank 3.

How did this man manage to steal it from that monster?!

Impossible! (⊙O⊙ )

That man is a fucking Dragonslayer!

Wait, not only is the hilt floating next to him…but it seems to be accepting him as its master?!

Oh my Greenwood Lord is this bad!

Wait, calm down. The ancestor is no pushover.

Even with such an overpowered legendary weapon, he should be alright.

He will…. he is totally slumbering again…. FUCK!

ｰ(*ﾟﾛﾟ)-C＜*TREE)o○Zzz

"ANCESTOR WAKE THE FUCK UP! THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!"

Damn. No answer whatsoever.

Forgive me, ancestor.

SHADOW MAGIC! Some pain will wake him up for sure!

*CLANG*

I can't even pierce his outer bark. (ￗ﹏ￗ)

Ancestor I'm trying to save you! Why did you choose such a time to sleep!

The human glows red. A second later he destroys all of his restraints.

Yes, he is destroying a part of the ancestor like it is paper.

"Human. I surrender can we talk about the terms of my capitulation like civilized people? Please"

Wait….

He is sleeping?! WTF.

Time to get some help!

At this point, only one being can mediate between them

I run as fast as I can towards the very core of this forest.

I wish I had more legs to go faster. Having 4 ain't enough!

I am speed!

I finally reach her.

White and pure. Beautiful and majestic.

Dignified and sublime.

Unearthly and heavenly.

I could go on for hours.

Some dude called Author asked me to do so but I refused.

Padding word count sounds shady!

But anyway.

Don't be fooled.

She is one scary-ass lady.

Will rip you in half if annoyed.

Haha. I am kidding.

Half is an understatement. Pieces is the word.

Will pieces even remain? 🤔

But she is still our spiritual pillar.

"Repreeeeseeeentatiiiiiveeeee!!!!!"

"*sigh* You again? What is it this time? Do you want to complain about being beaten up again?"

"*Pant. Pant.* That's not. *Pant.* It. *Pant.* Your human is about to fight the ancestor!"

"And?"

"Wait are you not worried, representative?"

"Should I be?"

"What if the ancestor kills him?!"

"It won't happen."

"What if he kills the ancestor!"

"What of it?"

"…. Isn't that…. really bad?!"

" …." ╮(╯3╰)╭

"….." ( ･_･)

Oh my god.

She seriously does not give a fuck.

Not a single fuck.

Welp. Time to go into hiding!
