487 [Scripted Event] [Sunclaw Kingdom Conquest] 12/?: Kekensha's Might

-----

A creature resembling a dragon covered in a dark exoskeleton, crimson eyes, and tentacles began to shake the earth as its sharp claws destroyed the buildings in its surroundings. A monstrosity, which was once a normal citizen that was mutated through the forced induction of Geggoron's Divine Energy.

Due to the hastiness of Geggoron, these monstrosities became more savage, and many of them lost their sanity in the moment they transformed. Some of them would never be able to change back into human forms to camouflage like most of the previous monstrosities or nightmare hunters were capable of doing.

But this did not matter to Geggoron, as he just wanted to create a large enough army to fight against Kireina… but his army was being easily crushed and slaughtered by Kireina's servants.

A giant golden wolf, with two pairs of large and feathered wings, soared across the sky.

Glancing at the monstrosity in the shape of a dragon and covered in a dark exoskeleton, it roared.

"Oh? Another strange one… they keep mutating and merging… will one of them even become a challenge? I wonder… Holy Light Breath,"

Flash!

Kekensha did not even give it much thought as he opened his large mouth, releasing a breath of pure flashing light towards the dragon.

"Grrryyaaaaaaaa!!!"

The blinding light began to burn its entire body as it shrieked in agony. Its exoskeleton was turned into dust and its flesh grilled, its entire body inflated like a balloon filled with the destructive energy of Kekensha's beam, detonating into a loud explosion.

Boom!

"It had low Resistance stat I suppose… sigh, my attacks had become absurdly strong since I evolved, it is quite hard to control my strength. Though these monsters seem particularly weak to my Attributes, as they are all Nightmare, Dark, and Shadow Attributes." Said Kekensha, laughing as he flapped his gigantic, feathered wings.

Kekensha was one of the first wolves that Kireina met after Wagyu, he was part of the oldest generation of wolves, and could be considered to be something like a grandpa for Wagyu. He was given a name by Kireina alongside other wolves such as Kurimu and Tsuchimizu and trained to become a strong warrior to serve Kireina well.

Due to his affinity with the Light Attribute and outstanding physical defenses and HP pool, Kekensha developed into an evolutionary path that could be said to be like the Paladin of Wolves. Possessing both Holy and Light Attribute Magic and large defenses.

Before entering and exploring the dungeon with Wagyu and the rest, he had recently evolved into a Four-Winged Divine Golden Wolf and was categorized as one of the strongest forces in the Empire by that time.

After exploring the dungeon with the rest of his party, leveling up and awakening new skills, he and his party reached the last floor of the Thunder Dragonoid Dungeon and fought against the Great Thunderstorm Dragon Tyrant High Overlord boss several times.

However, due to a streak of good (or bad?) luck, Kekensha and Wagyu were selected by the Dungeon God to go through a different trial as their strength greatly surpassed the last boss. And ended up fighting against the Dungeon's 'Secret Boss', the 'High Thunderclouds Dragonoid Giant Tyrant High Overlord'. And humanoid dragon creature that was over one hundred and fifty meters in height and possessed immense strength, surpassing the Thunder Dragon Overlord by far.

Wagyu and Kekensha gladly accepted the god's trial, and successfully defeated the Secret Boss after an arduous and long battle… They gained the recognition of the god of the dungeon himself, the Thunder Dragon God Nyzzet, and obtained his blessings, alongside special rewards… in exchange, Nyzzet wanted to talk with their master, Kireina…

But Kireina was currently busy dealing with Geggoron, so they had to delay the meeting until then. Nyzzet was happy with such a response and helped the party go back to the surface and quickly join Kireina to help her deal with things swifter.

After the trial of the Secret Boss, both Wagyu and Kekensha surpassed their limits and evolved once again. Kekensha became a Heavenly Golden Ophois Wolf Tyrant, his strength surpassed Rank 13 of the mortal realm and crossed to Rank 14, his entire body became taller, surpassing the seven meters, he was a true behemoth, a calamity amongst calamities.

His fur became longer and sturdy like a Legendary Rank weapon, his bones as well and his sharp fangs could even tear through adamantine with ease. His magic capabilities were what increased the most, and he even obtained the ability to spit a powerful breath and to generate an even stronger Aura, which he learned how to use by himself.

Kekensha controlled light as if it were his own limbs, his Aura extended widely and created countless arrows that he fired around while he soared the skies, any monstrosity that came to him would be devastated immediately.

As Kekensha sat down over a pile of grilled monstrosities, which he began to snack in the meantime, he felt the presence of something suddenly appearing out of nowhere, and that space suddenly closed itself, leaving him and the being brought alone

"Ah! Where have I been sent into?! Another domain? And that-"

Kekensha glanced at the person ahead of himself, the contender that Kireina had chosen for him.

The wolf began to remember what Kireina, his master had told him to do.

The orders were clear and simple, 'kill it and have your fun'.

"Well, time to stretch my body a little bit…" said Kekensha, glancing at the woman that had just appeared.

Her appearance was that of an outstanding and matured beauty. Her body was curvilinear and alluring to the eye, with perhaps one of the biggest pair of breasts that Kekensha had ever seen in demi-human, wide hips, long and pointed azure-colored fox ears atop her head, and a long and fluffy tail above her perfectly round butt.

She was wearing a long crimson kimono, revealing her shoulders and part of her breasts, alongside her legs, which ended in the feet and claws of foxes.

However, Kekensha was not a demi-human, so he felt aloof about her appearance, he was not attracted at all. He was surprised not by her physical appearance but by the Aura she exuded, many ghosts and specters floated around her as if she were a hive for them.

Though he was not intimidated. He was surprised because if she were to have an affinity with Phantom Magic, it meant that she was most likely weak to Holy and Light…

"I will probably not get a good challenge from this… but let's try," he said.

The woman in front of Kekensha was the current Queen of Sunclaw, Rei Kitsune Sunclaw, the one and only wife of the King of Sunclaw, Barion Gray Sunclaw.

Rei Kitsune Sunclaw originated from a family of Phantasmal Werefox, a renowned family of nobles of Fox-type beastmen that were direct descendants of Takumi, the Living Deity of Fox Beastmen.

They were known for their ability to mediate with spirits and ghosts and to use them for fighting or as servants. Due to this, they generated strong mages for their armies and also powerful guardians for the royal family.

Rei Kitsune met the young Barion at a gala party, where many nobles met with the royal family. There, he was enchanted by her mischievous beauty, and due to Rei's schemes, they quickly got together faster than others had expected.

Rei could be said to have been quite the manipulative woman… but she did not hate either treated Barion bad at all and became a beloved and benevolent Queen by many, she was just very scheming, but not to the point of being malicious. She just liked to take over the opportunities she obtained with everything she had and one of them was becoming Barion's wife and then becoming the Queen of Sunclaw, and she accomplished it without much sweat.

After finally becoming pregnant with Barion's seed, they had their first child, Miki Sunclaw, the eldest Princess of the Kingdom.

Although she loved her little daughter, she and Barion decided to teach her everything they knew from a young age, so she would develop into an outstanding adult whenever she reached maturity… it was a good plan, but it ended in their daughter becoming a secret psychopath.

Although Rei knew that something was going on with her daughter, she decided to ignore her 'flaws' and continue her life, some years later having her second child, which seemed like the promising next King of Sunclaw.

However, Noboru was born sickly and his soul was strange and spectral, his life was slowly being extinguished and Rei became obsessed with her little boy always trying to find a way to heal him many times. Calling hundreds of different healers, witches, medics, pharmaceutics, and more, only for them to always conclude that he was incurable.

In her melancholy, she succumbed to despair, she had held many expectations for Noboru, but he would soon die, the future King that she expected her little boy to be.

However, one day, the Heroes brought a strange grimoire that miraculously healed Noboru back to normal, Rei celebrated her son's recovery, unaware that he was no longer the same as before, but his mind and memories were eroded and devoured by one of Geggoron's split souls, both consciousnesses merging into one of the Demon Demigod's alter egos.

One day, as she was teaching Noboru about aristocracy, both of them were alone, and Noboru used this opportunity to parasitize her mother's soul with one of Geggoron's split soul, which he had on standby inside of his own body.

Rei's mind had already been affected by Geggoron's countless nightmares, and the Split Soul was the last thing needed to completely take over her.

And completely unaware once again, she was possessed. Her mind, memories, and consciousness were devoured by Geggoron's split soul, and both of them became a single existence through the pass of time, an alter ego.

Unlike in Moonfang, where most possessed were still at a starting point, the Sunclaw royal family had a lot of time free, so their minds were completely taken over through that lapse.

Alongside the rest of her family, they strived to serve Geggoron, the main body, as best as they could.

However, things did not go as they expected, there was not going to be an end game where Geggoron would conquer the world.

The Realm of Vida was filled with different beings and gods, they would not simply let him do as he pleased in front of their very noses. Especially the Beast Demigods.

They called upon their new 'heroine', Kireina.

In exchange for valuable Divinity and their friendship, Kireina helped them out and quickly freed Moonfang as if it were a walk in the park.

Geggoron became desperate and hastily tried to mediate a plan, a war against her with everything he had in Sunclaw, beginning to mutate all citizens into suitable soldiers, monstrosities.

Meanwhile, Rei and the rest of the royal family received Divine Beast Flesh Fragments and some artifacts that could awaken the entire strength of the Split Souls inside of their souls, but it was too hasty, they weren't able to practice these powers neither to accustom themselves to it.

When Kireina appeared as a giant demon and destroyed the 'main body' Nightmare Barrier, Geggoron hurriedly ran away into his Divine Realm, leaving his alter egos and monstrosities completely alone.

Meanwhile, an army of powerful beings commanded by Kireina entered the domain she created to replace Geggoron's giant Nightmare Barrier. Rei and her family were overwhelmed and tried to fight back, but strange flesh creatures made out of Kireina's body appeared, manipulating her domain, and separating their group.

They were all sent through space and appeared in different locations in front of certain individuals.

Rei appeared in front of a giant golden wolf that lowered over seven meters, had two immense pairs of feathered wings, golden horns, fangs, and a fierce and calm look. His aura exuded an overwhelming pressure that she could barely hold.

"Has the main body abandoned us? What should we do now…? What is our purpose? To die to these ridiculous monsters... Was there any hope from the beginning? That Kireina… just how many ridiculous monsters does she own?!" she roared, gnashing her teeth as her phantasmal Aura moved wildly.

Kekensha stared towards her silently.

"I won't… I will not die without a fight! I will take you with me!!!" she roared, her entire body flashing in an eerie light, transforming, and mutating, slowly becoming a fleshy and phantasmal fox monster…

"I will activate the artifact… if I can attack it with an explosive attack, even such a monster will be greatly damaged!" she roared, flying towards Kekensha with her large jaws, her entire body was now over twenty meters, Kekensha was the small fry now in her eyes.

"Die!"

Kekensha glanced at her with a calm and serene demeanor.

"W-Why is it so calm?! You fool! Phantasmal Nightmare Laser!"

Flash!

A massive laser of phantasmal and nightmare forces converging together clashed against Kekensha, who closed his eyes and willed his Aura to protect him.

A large and majestic shield appeared, the blast sent by Rei was useless, it clashed against it, but the shield seemed to slowly diminish the blast… as if it were devouring it.

"W-What? Impossible! No matter how strong your magic shield is, it should not be capable of defending you against Divine Energy!" roared Rei, losing her last bits of sanity.

Kekensha shaped his shield aura, and generated a giant paw, the paw moved at fast speed and clashed against Rei while she was in midair, crushing her to the ground.

Boom!

"Ggghh?!"

"I am still practicing this… but it seems to work well," said Kekensha.

"P-Practicing?!" roared Rei, trying to escape the massive golden paw, but no matter how much she struggled, the pressure was too immense.

"I haven't explored the full extent of my capabilities now, but it seems that I can handle the vessels of a small piece of a demigod just fine," said Kekensha.

"H-Handle�� me?!"

Clash!

"Unngyaaaa…!"

Rei… or the alter ego of Geggoron, began to crack into pieces, not only its flesh was being crushed but her soul as well, due to the effects of God Devour settled into Kekensha's every move by Kireina's Slime Clones.

"How about this?" said Kekensha, as he changed the shape of the large paw into sharp claws, which began to slice Rei into countless pieces one after another.

Clash! Clash!

"W-Wait a second… is this a joke?!"

Crack, crack!

Barely capable of releasing an attack in hopes of surviving somehow, her soul was quickly crashed into pieces.

Crash…!

Kekensha was perhaps stronger than he had expected, much stronger.

"Could the blessings of that Thunder Dragon God have helped me out in my abilities? Well, I have not developed anything related with thunder yet," said Kekensha, glancing at the corpse beside him and the dozens of black glass-like soul fragments. He shaped the giant paw into countless arms that began to gather the pieces, as he noticed that the domain, he was put into with Rei dissipated.

"I should go check how Wagyu's doing… Ah, was this even a fight now that I think about it?"

-----

Phantasmagoric Shaman Werefox Queen, Rei Sunclaw and her medium-sized Geggoron's split soul: deceased.

Cause of death: Crushed to death by Kekensha's aura, the wolf did not move in the entire fight, and was still resting above a pile of monstrosities.
