The Fox Goddess

After she has arrived back at the capital of the Beast Kingdom, nothing has changed. It was still utter chaos. Yuki could see some Beast mourning their loved ones, some were looking at everything, even going as far as rummaging through the rubbles to see if their family is still alive. Even if it was just a glimmer of hope, they would seek it just to see their family and loved ones. As for the Royal Army, they were going through every inch of the capital to help the citizens of their Kingdom no matter what kind of help it is because all of them were rendered useless when the enemy attacked their land. It is one of the few things they could do for them and under King Dagart's order, all Nobles were also sent out to bring help to those whose families were brought to ruins.

Since the Nobles were quite powerful, their estate was safe and sound and they were lucky because of that. So out of guilt, they helped the citizens, giving out free food, clothes, and other daily necessities. All of them have a very kind heart, giving help to those who they don't even know. But their kindness was the teaching of the Royal Family because they believe that a Kingdom wouldn't be possible if there are no people who will live in it. The citizens are one of the key factors why Kingdoms exist, they are the ones who work to make the Kingdom a lot better.

"Interesting, these Nobles who are very arrogant by nature lowered their head to help the citizens of this Kingdom. Even that fucking perverted old man is also here… Should I just kill him now?" Yuki thought to herself, but she then shook her head and took out a Unique kind of Talisman before throwing it into the air burning it up.

"Sunny, I have a task with you. Call all of our Branches, and have them come to my Villa within 1 hour, I expect them to be here. We will have a meeting because we will raid the Royal Destruction 2 days from now." Yuki informed as she dashed her way inside the Palace of Mirel as she have some things to discuss with them. But when she got inside, she didn't find any of them inside, there was no one inside except for the servants. And seeing this, she already knew that all of them were out there helping their people, so she dashed out once again to find them.

It didn't take long for her to find Mirel and his children as they were currently the center of attention, a lot of people were gathered around them while the guard was doing their best to keep things under control. But Yuki paid no heed to the ruckus that was happening below her and casually landed beside Lian, but as soon as her feet touched the ground dozens of Weapons immediately surrounded her vision making anyone shudder in fear, but it was not the case with her. She just stared at them with a blankly look.

"Who are you? State your name and why are you here!?" The leader of the Royal Guards asked cautiously as he began to interrogate Yuki. He felt afraid of interrogating the little girl in front of her because no one should be able to escape their senses unless they are incredibly powerful and for someone to suddenly appear in front of them without them even noticing was very alarming.

"What are you doing you, stupid idiots!? Don't you know who she is? She's Yuki, the one who saved the Mystic Dragon Heaven 6 Months ago!" Mirel yelled in anger as he slammed the man on the ground with his hands making him kneel in front of Yuki. His yell was like a clap to everyone's ear that woke them up.

'She's that legendary figure!?' All of them had the same thought, and without even wasting a second. All of them kneeled all together in front of Yuki to greet her.

"We greet the great Hero! Please forgive us for our ignorance and for not noticing the esteemed hero of our Heaven." All of them said in unison as imaginary sweats were slowly forming on their back out of fear in angering Yuki, the great Hero who defended their Heavens against the relentless attacks of the Void Monsters against them. She was the one who came in their darkest times and saved them from danger.

"No need to kneel, just don't ever repeat the same mistake. So, what were you doing here, Mirel?" Yuki said in an emotionless tone as getting angry at them would be useless. She just dismissed it like it was nothing. She then asked Mirel what she wanted to ask.

"That… I was just helping my people get over this crisis. I was helping them with whatever they needed. But the main problem is the search team, a lot of people have gone missing after the attacks of the Royal Destruction and we currently don't know where they are. So I'm here to at least try to help to locate them." Mirel informed Yuki about what he has been doing for the past hours.

"I see… you may not like what I will say, but the chances of it happening is high. There are only a few reasons why you can't find them. One, it's likely that they have already died and their body disintegrates because of the relentless attacks of the enemies. Two, again they are dead and just buried under this pile of mess, and lastly… They have been kidnapped by them." Yuki gave them three possible reasons why they couldn't find anyone they have been trying to look for, and after listening to it, all of them soon subconsciously nodded because it was possible, but the last reason made them confused.

"Why would they kidnap them?" Lian asked as it was quite a mystery why the Royal Destruction would kidnap their fellow beastmen/woman. If they were only trying to make money by selling them, it is quite a bad choice. Since it would depend on what kind of Beast are you selling.

"What kind of army does the Royal Destruction use again?" Yuki didn't answer Lian's question and just asked her something.

"Monster Cultivators…" Her words seemed to have been stuck in her throat as she stopped and looked at Yuki with widened eyes. At that moment, she suddenly understood Yuki's words on why the Royal Destruction kidnaps people. But it was not just her, everyone understood what Yuki meant.

"Right, Monster Cultivators. And yes, they use any kind of Race and make them Monster through unknown research. It doesn't matter who they are, or even their race, it doesn't fucking matter. Whether they are Humans, Beast, Elves, and dwarves. Everyone, this is also the reason why their numbers seem to never decrease. It's precise because they have an endless amount of people they can just take and turn into Monsters." Yuki dropped the news to all of them. She has learned about it for quite a long time already, and through the extensive information that she has gathered along with her subordinates, they have managed to find the secret of the Royal Destruction.

But she didn't release the information just yet, well not until she was confident in crushing all of them to the ground. That is the only reason that she has spoken about this now since all of them were ready to face the enemy that they have been fighting for centuries, even millennials. The Royal Destruction was the bane of all life in the Mystic Dragon Heaven and it is time to kill all of them, all of them will fall. Especially now that they have kidnapped her loved ones, just thinking about it makes her blood boil and there was only one thing on her mind, and that was to kill every single one of them. But Yuki also knows that she cannot do it alone, that's why she is preparing all of her armies that she has gathered over time in the Mystic Dragon Heaven to fight them, as well as the additional support from the Beast Race.

As for asking for help for the other Race, it is a good idea but it would take a lot of time for them to build up an army especially when they are only limited by a two-day timer. Plus, Yuki doubts that it would benefit them as no one knows if the other Race has a secret alliance with the Royal Destruction especially now that Lian has become the Goddess of the Mystic Dragon Heaven. They would want the title for themselves, right? And by allying, they can make it possible.

"How did you-, no wait… Even if we ask you how you got that information, I doubt that you will answer it anyway." Just as Mirel was about to ask Yuki how she got such vital information, he stopped himself since he already knew what kind of answer he will get from the little girl in front of her.

"It's good that you know. Well, let's not talk about such useless things for now, go back to your palace immediately. We shall have a meeting on how we will attack the Royal Destruction." Yuki said as she turned around, but before she disappeared right in front of them she snapped her fingers and made thousands of Ice Soldiers.

"You don't need to worry about the citizens of this place, my Ice Soldiers will help them in any way, they just need to say what kind of help and my Ice Soldier will take care of it. All of you, follow the words of these people, stay beside them at all times, and protect them. Am I making myself clear?" Yuki spoke as she looked at the Thousands of Ice Soldiers that kneeled in Unison as a sight that they understood Yuki's swords. Yuki nodded in response before disappearing in front of them.
