79 The South Is Also Mine

The banging on the door continued till late in the night, lying on the floor in the corner of the room was a beaten and bruised young female fox demon. The bruises on her did not lessen her beauty as under the light of the moon her grey long hair matched her 9 tails, her curves covered up by her tails as she curls up into a ball of beautiful grey fur. Like a wounded animal she stayed in the corner looking at the door ready to defend herself when needed, those on the other side are the ones who are trying to force her to marry into another powerful Clan. The Clan is a long time rival that recently gained support from a Major power in the East, this action is looked down upon as those from the East look suppress and enslave non humans.

Hera was on the floor crying her tails being the only thing keeping her sane, her family turned on her once her mother left for the meeting they knew was a trap set by the East to kill the new Overlord of the North. They were helping the old Overlords regain power by killing This new power that rose up, and most likely those from the South would die as well as tension between the South and East was reaching a breaking point. So once they helped the Blue Stone Guards regain control over the North everyone in the South expected a war to ensue so they began forming alliances to better protect themselves.

The Clan she was to marry into was a puppet controlled by a powerful Clan in the East they were offering the Demon Fox Clan protection from the war if they sold off several of the legendary beautiful women in marriages to a select group of young masters. It was rumored that women with 6 or more tails can gift their lover increased power the more the two had sex, this benefit was then multiplied as the number of tails increased until it reached 9. At 9 no only would they gain an increase enough to push them into a new realm of power, they would also gain the elemental affinity of the female.

On the ground the beauty named Hera control of every element be it light or darkness, fire or ice, she held these powers since young. During her childhood she was only a two tailed fox but as she grew older her power increased along with her tails till she possessed the legendary 9. Much like the ancestors of the Demon Fox Clan, they were all excited and praised her achievements as this was always what the Clan hoped would happen. Their overall goal was to have as many 9 tailed foxes to nurture for the Clan to continue to be powerful.

Over the years the number became lower and lower until they had not seen any youth obtain 9 tails in the last 200 years. This caused a panic as they began using the bones of their ancestors on those with 7 and 8 tails hoping it would boost their realm up while they gained 9 tails. The Clan over all had 1-2 thousand males with 9 tails and more than 20 thousand females with 9tails. Over time this number would drop and this is what the Clan wished to prevent, when they received a marriage offer from the Clan that always waged war against them.

The Lynx Clan has always preyed on the foxes taking many of them prisoner, to later force them into marrying into their Clan. As many refused they were killed an used as an example for those still hesitating, not wishing to die they accepted their fate as a tool for the Lynx Clan, this was the cause of the major and never ending war between the two.

Many other Powerful Clans forced the two to cease the bloodshed in the open after a few thousand years of war, as they continued their war in the dark the Lynx Clan found it was no match after losing its allies who aided them in the open. As they were continually falling in being able to retaliate and fight back they were then approached by those from the East.

With the help from the East their Clan was not wiped out by the Demon Foxes that hunted them with perfection in the dark, they then openly admitted defeat to all Major powers in the South asking that they prevent the Foxes from wiping them out. This caused the Demon Fox Clan to be forced to halt all attacks on the Lynx Clan, many knew the Lynx Clan could continue the war but the fighting only weakened the South's over all power so they agreed to force the Foxes back.

After all this they still agreed to the marriage as the Lynx Clan was gifted the remains of an ancient several million years old 9 tailed Fox Demon that the humans hunted long ago, the Lynx Clan wanted Hera in exchange for the remains.

This condition caused suspension in the Clan but they were tempted, if the remains were genuine not only could they help those stuck with 7 and 8 tails they could even aid those with 5 tails. With the decline in 9 tail youths over the past 200 years they were becoming weaker compared to the other Clans in the South so their power waned. What this marriage provided was what the Clan could use to once again stand at the peak in the South, as well as being spared in the incoming war the East would soon bring to the region.

Border Worlds Between South and East

On a planet warned of the incoming war trillions of non human and half human people ran for their lives as the East sent its armies to wipe out all non human life on these planets, kill those who resist enslave the rest. This was their methods in taking over these 10-11 planets that were in the neutral zone, these planets would become their future bases for the war to subjugate the South.

As they moved to conquer these worlds a massive chasm opened as they prepared to invade the first few worlds in their path, what they saw exiting the chasm was a dark skinned youth with white eyes mixed with black.

"Well look at this timing who could expect such perfect timing! Hello there, you must be the assault force from the East one of your leaders Elder Mason 'Sent' me to fetch you before you caused problems for me. I won't kill you if you retreat and tell those old fools from the East that I Dashnell, Dragon Emperor and Overlord of the Northern Region Claim the South as well!" Saying this I send a slash out to give them the warning they needed as my words only got mocking laughs as they charged me.

After they lost a few limbs they stopped in their tracks, they did not try to block my attacks as their numbers were in the millions. They were sure they could overwhelm me and the force that did not reach over 200, but when the streaks of green and black sword swings reached them it cleaved through without weakening or slowing. Those who tried to block it were behind barriers and thousands of others so they put little to no effort to actually block the attack until they noticed it gained power as it traveled instead of weakening.

"Block or Dodge it! Don't let it get near you, those with the ability to stop time or rend space come together and counter attack we will push forward after you nullify the attack."

Calm and sound commands were issued out to the several million troops as they quickly moved to follow these orders only to be stuck with the attacks that they were sure had not reach them yet. As confusion spread to the troops from the East the pain they felt was real and forced them to consider the words spoken by the dark skinned young man and his claim to be the new Overlord of the North.

"Y- You monster we will come back stronger to wipe out all you non humans from this mortal realm, while we keep your women and children to serve us! You will regret sparing us today."

The commander's words caused his army to lose their fighting spirit, as they slowly moved back as they retreated. When they knew they were not being followed they quickly ripped open a tear in space and retreated back to the East at their fastest speeds to inform their superiors.

It is common knowledge among the Major powers about a realm above God of Creation-Destruction and that is the True God Realm. The respective leaders of each region is either at this Realm or a Half step True God, and from what they just witnessed Dashnell the Dragon Emperor should be at the peak of True God or a realm above it. They were too weak to tell the difference in power accurately so they chose to place him at the peak of the True God Realm.

As they traveled in the tunnel created by those who were better at manipulating space they all came to a halt as they could see Dashnell in front of them blocking their retreat.

"Hello again most of you will die today and the few of you and I mean 'few' that I spare. I want you to deliver a message to your leaders tell them that I the Dragon Emperor Claim all within this Realm and if they wish for a war I will bring about a massacre to all those in the East." After saying so a double headed curved blade appeared in my hand, the pitch black shaft gave the weapon the same reach as a spear or lance.
