CHAPTER 115 VIXEN
"Everyone, calm down!" Shadow quickly shouts as he senses that the situation is getting worse by the second.
He spreads his hands on both sides, trying to smooth things over. He is now incredibly angry; he did not expect that the Fox Kingdom would welcome them like this.
"Stand down!" A loud and domineering voice descends; this affects the entire kingdom. Shadow senses that this is the might of a ruler in their kingdom.
He raises his eyebrow and scans Queen Marleigh; he is curious just how strong his ally is, and her stats do not disappoint him.

Even though the number of her skills might not be as many as he had expected, she is still formidable, and she clearly focused on developing her formation skills.
The disparity between their physical attributes and even their spiritual attributes might be extremely great, but his instinct is telling him that she is a formidable foe.
"I apologise, King of Eligan Kingdom; my subordinates are just acting on their instincts. I will definitely give you a suitable apology after this battle."
Hearing this, Shadow frowns, not because of what she had said but because he was confused. Why did the foxes look at him with so much hostility? It was not even out of hate but more out of fear.
He was asleep for three years; he has not done anything all of this time. Their allies should be uninformed about his true strength and capabilities.
He nods at her slightly. He then brings his army to another location, knowing that they are feeling uneasy after the earlier confrontation. This should have been a pleasant meeting between two allied forces, but it nearly turned into an all-out war.
"Ban, do you know the reason why they reacted like that?" he asks his good friend, knowing that unlike him, he is more knowledgeable regarding the situation of their alliance.
Ban shakes his head. Actually, he is also confused; he knows for a fact that the ally that they are closest with in the alliance is the Fox Kingdom. To actually react like this, this catches him by surprise too.
"I think I know the reason why." Suddenly, someone approaches them; she is quite beautiful, and her body seems to be made to please her partners.
Shadow's eyes widened when he sees her, of course he knows who this is but her appearance have undergone a great change just like him.
"Vixen, it is nice to meet you once again." The one that blinked into their location is none other than his partner and lover, Vixen.

"So you have decided to walk the path of a humanoid beast?" Shadow asks as he sees her status; it seems that she has been training to wield the sword.
Vixen nods her head; she looks sad; she sighs and says, "As a fox, other than speed, we are not that cut out to be powerful fighters; since this is the case, I have decided to consult with one of the races that I am familiar with."
Shadow smiles; he knows that she meant the human race. Yes, just like the foxes, the human race is also weaker compared to most races in this world; they are also incapable of natural evolution, but they are capable of many things by using their ingenuity and intelligence.
"I understand this, but since you have sharp claws, why walk the path of a swordsman? I think that the path of an assassin is much more suited for you," he added.
Vixen smiles and slashes her sword at him. He raises his eyebrow and easily blocks it with his. Just as he is about to ask her, he senses something, and his expression changes. He smoothly takes a step back and repels the strange force.
He laughs out loud. "To think that you have a talent for wielding the sword, I am quite surprised; it seems that humans are not the only ones in tune with weapons."
Vixen smiled sweetly. She felt great being praised by him; she had been training hard without a single day of rest just to hone her swordsmanship.
'Since intelligent monsters are capable of mastering the art of weapon mastery, maybe I can create a powerful army of beasts, wielding the weapons of man.' This thought flashes in Shadow's head.
He sighs and shakes his head; he cannot help but smile bitterly. 'This will not work; Vixen is a rare case; most monsters are in tune fighting with their own natural bodies.'
"I am proud of you, Vixen; I have heard that you are the reason why our business in the Fox Kingdom is blossoming." He praises her.
She giggled, and Ban started coughing. He then looked at the two with an expression that said, 'Please stop flirting.'
"Vixen, you have said that you know the reason why the Fox Kingdom is hostile to Shadow?" he asks with a serious expression.
Shadow wants to slap himself; he is so focused on Vixen that he has forgotten such an important question. He smiles awkwardly at Ban, knowing well that this is unbefitting for a king.
