The Fox Princess Side.

(Third person POV for the whole chapter)

During the same time that the Otachi and the others commence hostile operation.

Likewise, the monsters of the “Crawling Octopus King of Chaos” invade a port city south of the “Fox City of the Beasts of War” ruled by the “Hundred Beast Clad Fox Princess”.

All of the inhabitants of this port city, though, have already evacuated, leaving only behind those with the capacity to fight. In that aspect, their situation is more favorable than that of the port city where Otachi and company are struggling.

“But aside from that, you know, the monsters that showed up here are unfortunate.”

Amidst all this, a Kitsunejin… Shiranui Mugi, utters such words as she observes the monsters slowly ascending to the surface.

In her right hand, she is grasping a black stone-like object with a strange pattern carved on it. The surrounding Kitsunejin and humans are also bearing a similar object.

The monsters then reach the line that she and her companions have set ahead of time.

“We will all strike in unison!”

With Mugi’s call, each and every member present hurls a black object at the monsters collectively.

“Gyahahahaha! What’s with this rock? Do you think such rock will be able to take down us?”

Regardless of this, the monsters of the Octopus King, including the gilled humanoid monster in the lead, the so-called “Hanryojin,” burst into hysterical laughter.

“How about this then? ≪Fire Swirl≫.”

Mugi activates ≪Fire Swirl≫ skill in the center of the monsters, particularly in the area where the black objects are congregated, as she has already anticipated their reactions.

At that moment…

Boom!!

[[[ーーーーーーーーーーー!?]]]

Accompanied by rumbling echoes, a whirlpool of flames far surpassing the regular ≪Fire Swirl≫ spirals out from the center of the cackling monsters.

Due to the sheer compatibility of the two attributes, even minor contact with the flames drives the monsters to faint in anguish, and the flames spread throughout their entire bodies from the slightest point of impact, incinerating them while compelling them to scream out their doom.

“Everybody, continue!”

“Roger that!” “Alright!” “Let’s do it!”

While the monsters writhe in the flames, the others launch their fire skills at them, widening the scope of the flames with each shot.

Eventually, along with the waning of the flames, the monsters’ death cries cease, revealing a myriad of charred carcasses in their wake.

“The first wave of extermination is complete. This new technology is amazingly powerful huh?”

Mugi mutters and pulls out a black object from her pocket which she fiddles with her hand.

The identity of the black object: It is a combination of various objects and materials Mugi collected as samples on the continent, which were researched and duplicated.

To be more specific, the object has succeeded in explosively amplifying the ferocity of the fire by combining oil, which has a high ignition capacity, with wood, which can absorb more liquid than its own volume, and a technology developed in a certain region of the continent for engraving skills. Among the Kitsunejin, this is termed as “Black Explosive Material”.

Furthermore, the materials used for the “Black Explosive Material” are all from different regions.

Although Ryo and the other members are familiar with each technology and materials, only Mugi, who served as the “Mercenary of the Fog” group’s deputy, has thorough knowledge.

“The second wave is coming! Brace yourselves!”

The voice of a guard reverberates throughout Mugi and the others.

“Hmph! This is a golden opportunity to put breakthrough technology to work! You guys!”

[[[Yes!]]]

Under Mugi’s direction, several cannons with a variety of embellishments are brought in from the back of the unit, and a sphere with a geometric pattern engraved on it is loaded into the cannon.

Even as they are making preparations, the monsters are closing in on them. Notwithstanding, their advances are halted at a specific line, possibly because they witnessed the pillar of fire earlier.

“Heh, it looks like they possess brains of their own to ponder a bit, but how naive.”

But that is exactly what Mugi desires. After chuckling once, Mugi sends out instructions to those who are readying the cannons. And according to her orders, the cannons fire… no, some cannons fire lightning, some cannons fire gusts of wind, and some cannons directly fire masses of magic, and some cannons fire lumps of poison.

[[[Arghhhhhhhhhh!]]]

Within that inferno, the blessed ones are hit squarely by a cannon shot and explode before they can even suffer, while the ill-fated ones are mortally wounded to the point where they cannot die in an instant.

The name of the cannon used by Mugi and her team is the “Skill Loading Cannon”.

The cannon projectiles are comprised of a valuable material with a unique directional sealing ability that prevents outbursts and sends the projectiles flying, allowing the skills engraved on the projectiles to be activated simultaneously with their impact.

After the monsters of the second wave have been obliterated, the monsters of the third wave descend upon them.

Despite this, their legs are utterly cowering in the face of the carnage wrought on the previous two waves, and they have the demeanor of someone who would flee right now if they could.

“Now, if you’re not going to come at us, we’ll come at you!”

Mugi and company, of course, do not pass up such an opportunity and assault the limping monsters in one single swoop, tragically crushing the mob.

As the battle progresses, the octopus, whom the monsters are depending on, is powerlessly seared by a combination of “Black Explosive Material” and fire attribute skills, putting a stop to its movement. In the end, the Octopus King’s subordinates failed to accomplish any results, only to be exterminated by Mugi and the others.

“Hahaha. The result is rather promising. Isn’t these new technologies marvelous?”

In the “Fox City of the Beasts of War,” the Fox Princess has received the reports from Mugi and her team, to which a broad smile spreads across her face.

“Now, the rest of the morons shall be wiped out one by one.”

The Fox Princess then issues further commands to the other port cities, taking into account the reports that came in.
