<h4>443 Scripted Event Moonfang Kingdom Conquest 3/35: Lost Heroes</h4>
Running through a dark and eerie forest, the figure of a young and slender man in his early twenties ran through the grass, his footsteps almost inaudible to anything inhabiting the ce.
The moon shined brightly over the sky, illuminating his shiny ck armor, and his long and white hair. Wearing a mask, the man hides his identity, although by looking at the wolf-like ears over the top of his head, it was clear that he was a Wolf Beastmen.
Hiding beneath the mask there was a wless and handsome face, with shining blue eyes, gleaming through the night, and guiding the young man through the night.
"Hey, you there!"
"Catch the traitor!"
"Don''t leave it run away!"
"We must punish him for his heresy!"
"He shall be Geggoron-sama sacrifice!"
The man was being followed by a group of different canine-type beastmen. Werefox, Hyena, Coyote, and even other Wolves.
"Tch! Stop your foolishness! Geggoron is not the god that we should praise, that is Ma-sama! I won''t kneel before a demon, never!" shouted the man, unfolding his long and ck de and confronting his persecutors.
sh!
From the shadows, the slim figure of a Werefox appeared, however, it was not an enemy. Her long and azure hair waved through the cold breeze of the night, and her aquamarine eyes gleamed with a fierce conviction. Her body was slim and wless, with slightly wide hips and a generous pair of breasts, tightly saved beneath her kimono-like attire. The azure-colored tail of a fox popped out from beneath her dress, as she also had fox ears over the top of her head.
"Eifert, I have managed to catch up with you… let us confront these insane cultists and let''s make haste towards Moonfang!" she said.
"Haruko-san… Thank god you''re in fine condition…" muttered the man, Eifert, the ''Eclipse de Werewolf Pdin'' of the Sunw Kingdom.
Haruko, the azure-colored Werefox was the ''Sun de Werefox Samurai'', a beauty amongst beauties in the Sunw Kingdom, who used her talents and strength to protect her people.
Both of them had been caught in Geggoron''s schemes, their other two allies, the ''Sacred Light White Wolf Swordsman'' and the ''Corrosive Poison Sword Hyena Knightess'' were brainwashed by Geggoron''s cultists and made into loyal pawns.
Eifert and Haruko werete to understand what was truly happening beneath the scene in the Sunw Kingdom and were caught in a trap made by their own allies. Managing to escape in time, deciding to go to the Moonfang Kingdom to alert the people about what was happening in Sunw…
Of course, they were unaware that in Moonfang, things were even worse.
"Here theye!" shouted Haruko, taking into a stance with her long katana, engulfed in azure mes.
"Not so fast, pest! Azure Sun ze de Technique; Lotus Blossom!" shouted Haruko, as her katana waved and moved majestically, creating the illusion of a blue lotus flower blossoming.
"Hah! What with that pesky show?! You''re nothing but- GYAAAAH!"
sh! sh!
The Coyote Beastmen had his two long arms suddenly sliced off his body, blood pumping like a river from his tworge wounds, where the bone could be seen perfectly cut without any cracks at all, revealing the scarlet bone marrow.
"What?! Didn''t we were told that she was not much? Wasn''t she the weakest amongst the four?!" shouted a Hyena Beastmen, bewildered.
"No matter how good of a sword master she is, she cannot fight back against Geggoron''s sama magic! Nightmare ze!" shouted a Wolf Beastmen, wearing an artifact in the form of a pendant given by Geggoron, which gave him the ability to cast a few Nightmare Magic Spells.
Dark-colored zing mes flew towards Haruko with incredible speed, resembling an evil specter ready to devour her every self.
"Your pesky magic cannot fight against my de! Eclipse de Technique; Light and Darkness Bade!" shouted Eifert, as he moved rhythmically with his de, as if he were dancing, light and darkness converged from within his de, showing a beautiful spectacle of amazing magic and technique mastery!
SLASH!
A single sh was released from Eifert''s de as it rushed through the night, destroying the dark nightmare mes, and reaching the Wolf Beastmen that conjured it, slicing him in half in a quarter of a second!
"Gyaaaaah!"
"I don''t want to kill any of my citizens anymore, go away!" shouted Eifert.
"How dare you look down on us?! For Geggoron-sama, we will do anything!" shouted the Hyena Beastmen, rushing towards Eifert and Haruko with his heavy battle-ax while enhancing his capabilities with several artifacts, and releasing a barrage of techniques to crush his enemies!
"Die! Charge! Execution sh! ze Cut!"
"Sigh…" said Haruko, as she moved her de majestically, the blossoming of the lotus changed into a caressing breeze.
sh!
"Gueeh…?!"
The Hyena beastmen body was divided into several sections, each one falling down the ground, alongside arge pool of blood.
Three more beastmen were wearing ninja-like clothes present there, ncing at the pair of beautiful de masters with eyes wide open.
"D-Don''t falter! Kill them!"
"F-For Geggoron-sama!"
"May Geggoron-sama bless our souls, even after death!"
"Wait you fools!" shouted Eifert.
"Eifert… it''s useless. They have beenpletely brainwashed. There is only one way out for them now" said Haruko.
sh! sh!
"Guuuaaaaahh…!"
"Buggyaaa…!"
"Giiiiiiiii…!"
The two bared their des and released a series of shes and techniques, as their persecutors finally died, sliced into pieces.
Their des stained in the blood of their people, the two nced at the corpses with remorse.
"Was there… not any other way?" wondered Eifert.
"Don''t be foolish, Eifert. That demonic god had seeped his ws deep within our people… the only thing we can hope to do now is to go to our neighbor Kingdom and ask for their assistance… perhaps, if we canmunicate with their goddess…" muttered Haruko.
"Maeralya, the sister of our god and founding father, Ma… is it even possible that they could help us? They had notmunicated with us for centuries… I feel like they had forgotten about their children… it is normal. We are mere mortals, while they are gods among the heavens… how could they even see us as something valuable at all?" said Eifert.
Haruko patted Eifert''s shoulder.
"Don''t lose hope. We are their children… even if they have notmunicated with us in centuries, it only means that they wanted to leave us to prosper by ourselves, using what they had given to us" said Haruko.
"Do you think so, Haruko? Do you think there is even some hope?" asked Eifert.
"There must be. Without hope, how could we be attached to our lives? Without hope, everything would be pointless. If you do not want to have any more hope, sit there, and die. I will continue by myself" said Haruko. She had to be harsh with the young wolf beastmen, or he could only fall into more despair.
"I… no! I will go as well… If I just lose hope, then I would be falling into that demon hands! Never… Let us go, Haruko" said Eifert.
N?v(el)B\\jnn
Haruko released a mild smile on her wless and beautiful face.
"Good," she said.
The two knights that once protected the Sunw Kingdom rushed through the night, their figures slowly dissipating through the shrouding darkness.
Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Moonfang Kingdom, Mohini, the Living Deity of Desert Cat Beastmen wandered through the wild, deep within the dark of the night.
Geggoron, who was ncing at her through the clones he had spread around the sky, smiled.
"Little kitten… you shouldn''t be ying around at this hour… strong and fiercer beast may appear" he muttered, with a smirk on his formless, dark cloud-like body.
Mohini walked barefoot through the forest, she had just saved a vige earlier from a werewolf attack and was feeling happy to have ''made a difference''… although she only let them there afterward instead of trying to lead them to a safe ce. This only resulted in that person being attacked by another group of bandits, this time monster tamers, that almost caused the end of the weakened vigers who did not have anywhere to run away to.
If it were not for Kireina that had saved them, they would have most likely died, without Mohini realizing this…
Mohini was good-hearted, but perhaps, too na?ve. She wanted to help others, but never considered anything long-term. She was almost incapable of seeing the entire picture of things. If she were, she would not have foolishly healed the cat beastmen and then left them to die to whatever appeared afterward.
She was a bit selfish to think that nothing else could happen to them anymore if she were to save them for some danger. If you saved weak people and did not help them to grow strong and not be weak anymore, they would be sooner orter face danger once again.
Mohini knew more or less the geography of the Moonfang Kingdom, she was now venturing through the ''dark and vast forest'' that made most of the outskirts of Moonfang, which were surrounded by such forests alongside the plentiful of farming viges.
Before Geggoron appeared, explorers and knights would constantly patrol the small and divided forests and viges, cleaning the monsters that would appear and ensuring the safety of the vigers that produced arge amount of the food that the Kingdom needed.
However, now that those knights and explorers were called as troops for Geggoron''s cultists, the forest had be wilder ces, filled to the brim with deadly monsters.
Mohini of course was a Living Deity, her presence was strong and pressuring, simple monsters would not dare to approach her… but other beings lurked around, watching her.
As Mohini ran through the forest, a voice stopped her from continuing.
"Are you Mohini? Daughter of the Goddess Maeralya?" asked the voice of a mature woman.
"Ah! H-How do you know my name?!" shouted Mohini.
"So you are… I can''t believe that you are the children of a Goddess, you''re really such a foolish girl" said the woman.
"You must be one of Geggoron''s pawns! Show yourself!" shouted Mohini, as she covered herself into the bright yellow light of her divinity, readying herself for battle.
"Mind your manners, you are disgusting bitch! Do not dare call our grandiose and benevolent master without any respect! It is Geggoron-sama! You damned bastardly woman!" shouted the mature woman, showing herself.
A beautiful and voluptuous woman, with charcoal-colored skin and scarlet eyes. Her face had the beauty of an exotic maiden, and her hands had paws covered in dark fur and long, white ws. A long ck tail appeared from beneath her back, and two panther ears popped from the top of her head. She had wide hips and revealing clothes, and long, dark hair, covering part of her eyes, which gleamed devilishly.
"You are… Ah! Nari… one of Moonfang''s three guardians…? Your presence… what have they done to you, my child?! Geggoron has brainwashed you?!" shouted Mohini, bewildered.
"Shut up! Do not talk so lightly of my beloved master, you scum! I have not been brainwashed; I have been enlightened by his guidance! You will be his nourishment!" she shouted, shrouding herself in nightmarish mes as shemanded her troops to attack Mohini, each one of them was a ck Panther Beastmen and was wearing one of Geggoron''s artifacts.
"Don''t worry, I will save you!" shouted Mohini, brazing her ws and fighting the group of ck Panthers that surrounded her.
She extended her Life, Earth, and Light Attribute Domain through her surroundings, illuminating the cold and dark night. The moment her enemies nced at the light, they were blinded for a moment, as they felt all of their stats decrease.
"W-What is this light?!"
"My stats decreased… I can''t see either!"
"Shining Life Light!" shouted Mohini, firing rays of yellow light and piercing her foes limbs so they could not move anymore.
"Gyaaah!"
"Guaah…!"
"She''s not attacking us to kill… but to immobilize us? Such a foolish woman!" shouted a ck Panther as she approached Mohini and activated one of his artifacts, releasing ck clouds thatpletely shrouded him into them, increasing his capabilities.
"Take this, you heretic!" shouted the man, using his gauntlets and trying to punch Mohini, only to be stopped by a barrier made out of the same light she was capable of controlling.
"It is useless, no matter what artifacts does the demon gives to you. You cannot go against the power of a Living Deity, my mortal children. Please, stop this pointless struggle…" muttered Mohini, as she immobilized more of her assants.
"Not even Geggoron-sama Nightmare magic works?!" shouted another ck Panther, as she saw his allies be easily defeated by Mohini without her breaking a sweat.
However, Nari,ughed, showing her sharp teeth as her scarlet eyes shined brightly through the darkness of the night.
"It doesn''t matter if it doesn''t work! Give up your lives, use everything you have! We are not fighting to overpower her, but to tire her down!" she shouted, as the ck Panther realized their mission''s purpose and activated the small artifacts imnted in their hearts.
"This is… for Geggoron-sama!"
"We will give our lives!"
"Sumb to Geggoron-sama, you heretic woman!"
"We will go down if that might make a difference!"
"Ah! Wait, no!" shouted Mohini
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Mohini waste to respond to their actions, as the artifacts inside the hearts of the ck Panther that she had only immobilized by attacking their limbs released a powerful wave of mana and Divine Energy, exploding with immense energy, creating a ck cloud and setting the whole forest in a fire, engulfed in the dark, nightmarish ze…
Mohini nced as her children sacrificed their own lives for the sake of a despicable demon god that had only yed with their lives as if they were mere pawns… the explosions were ferocious, imbued with Geggoron''s Divine Energy. Mohini had to cover her entire body with her Divine Barrier.
