Chapter 15 - XIV

Pov Shizuru

Once I got out of my shadow, I realized that I was on the border with the country of the Man-beast, I did not calculate the distance well when walking the shadows

And when I was about to plunge into the shadows again, now I am hoping to be at least at the castle gate but I see something moving at an extremely fast speed among the forest trees.

I was curious so I went to investigate what it was since I am supposed to feel the aura of the beasts and know how dangerous they can be but in this case, I could not feel anything, and that made me strange

When I enter the trees I see that there are several wooded trees and some fallen, I get alert in case something happens, and just when I hear a noise behind me, I completely sink into my shadow but before sinking into my totality, I can see what it was a rare animal that had tried to attack me

I come out of the shadow and see well what it was about, it was like a long and huge snake but it was feathered and it was colorful, it seemed that its head its feathers formed what was a plume

Something told me that I had already seen something like this in my previous life, but I did not remember where it was, while I was trying to remember I did not notice that his body began to light up green and show his teeth

When he opened his mouth that's when I noticed and took a few steps back in case something happened, out of nowhere I see that he is moving at full speed towards me, breaking some trees, I dodge him by pure instinct and I see what he had "destroyed "but I realized that I had fixed it

And that's when I remembered, in my previous life when I was picked up by that man, I only had to read everything I could and among one of the many books there was one on Mesoamerican mythology about a deity of life and fertility in the form of the feathered serpent, with the name "Quetzalcoatl"

[So you are a deity? But in front of me, you are just a colorful snake]

I cover my right hand with fire to launch a good attack on Quetzalcoatl and be able to see what it is made of, the fire grows stronger and I launch a huge wave of fire, which he dodges and the forest begins to burn and how I did not want problems later, I created a large ice path where the fire passed thus being extinguished

I know what I'm doing is not my style at all, but I wanted to distract myself and relax here so as not to end up murdering the Beast-Man since I know myself

[Alright, you asked for it]

I summon a sword and throw myself at him, I dodge a tail-blow and threw a cut to cut him but I couldn't since he made a strange movement and he could hit me with a tail, causing me to crash into a tree and open a wound on my neck. head

That was weird to me, I couldn't predict his attack, I seem to lack reflexes

But I would practice that later, now I'm late to the meeting with the king of the Beast-Man, so I plunged into the shadow and appeared behind him and gave him a good cut with the sword but only to realize that he hadn't cut almost anything, it was just a scratch and then I realized that I did not have enough power to face all races together, much less, God

[You know, then I fight you]

If he understood me and his body lit up green again like my body, thus healing my wounds and after that, he flies upwards and disappears into the clouds

[It seems that you also didn't have much free time]

I look down and notice that the entire forest was in perfect condition, there were no signs of fire and much less ice and since I didn't give the matter too much fuss, I plunged into the shade of a tree

...

- Yoger, Furrek-

I came out of the shadow to realize that I was in front of the castle of the man-beast, I notice that there are too many glances at me but I did not give them importance, I approached the castle door and the guards were Mino Taurus who stared at me but some activated my marks on my neck with that they realized who I was and let me pass as if nothing

I walk to the second floor feeling the auras emanating from the man-beast and reach that room without problems and open the door of the meeting room where all the king's advisers were and of course, the king was also

[Sorry for being late, I came across something unexpected but you can stop suffering now]

[Suffer? Why?]

[Because I'm already here, his father in everything]

I see that some of the councilors resented that comment, I just smiled and directed my gaze to the king

[Well, what are you looking for with this alliance?]

That question made several of the elders smile strangely, but I did not care since my talk is with the king, not with the old advisers that he has.

[It's simple, that you protect us and we can have a mutual market for ..]

[My talk about the alliance is with the king, I don't give a shit what you guys want to say, and if you want to show that fucking greatness, I'll just kill you]

When I said the last thing my eyes turned black and I glared at each one with my gaze, assuming that they would get upset and keep quiet for a while, so that worked

[Thank you, demon king, these old men are a pain in the ass and they never shut up, they don't seem to remember who the king is]

Although it took me a long time to say that, I liked how he made clear his authority now it only remains to see what this alliance will be

[So what are you looking for? King of the beast-men]

[Just tell me Fritsu, and although the old man said it, I would like to have a way of being able to have a trade between both nations and to be able to help each other if an attack against one of our nations happens]

[Sounds complicated, Fritsu]

[Why does he say so?]

[Well, given the nature of the demons, perhaps they would try to attack them or simply cheat them, the mutual support in attacks if they could since we can kill enough for us]

[Oh well, if you think about changing that, just trading a few resources just between the two of us?]

[There it would be more convenient, but what would I gain? Until now, you have simply told me something and it benefits you, where do I win something?]

It may sound arrogant to you but that's the way business is, I see that his face was a bit of confusion since according to what he had said it was something of mutual benefit

[I see that you still don't understand, but don't worry, dad is here to help]

I get up with a smile and everyone's attentive gaze, I think they thought I would attack them but not this time

[1- If you realize, my military power is superior to yours and I can face any nation, 2- Resources are not scarce, but it would not be bad to see that there are, 3- I would only be losing in numbers, like this What, how would it benefit?]

I see in his expression that he did not know what to do or say, it seemed that we would spend hours here since he was thinking hard and I could only think of one thing with a huge arrogant smile

"I already have it completely eating out of my hand, it will give whatever it takes to survive, that is the nature of the living being"
