Being Reincarnated with my Beast King System

Chapter 39: Unusual Activity in the Forest



{Another bonus chapter, I will be writing the next one now that I am home. :) }

*Byron POV*

Hearing that the prince escaped with the help of an expert I was pissed. I was ready to turn the whole kingdom inside out just to find him. That is until Mathias told me that he commissioned my little brother Darren to hunt him down.

The thought of Darren and his pack of contracted Hell Hounds hunting that little prick down gave me a small smile. Darren and I traveled all over the world wit Mathias when we were younger. Darren was like Silvara but their affinities were opposite.

Where my daughter had my Celestial Bloodline mixed with her Mother's Fairy Bloodline creating the anomaly Celestial Fairy Bloodline. Darren has our Father's Divine Bloodline mixed with his mother's Succubus Bloodline creating the anomaly of the Divine Incubus Bloodline.

{Bloodlines In this world can be mixed to make another Bloodline. No one person one this world should have the same bloodline except for those that only stick to very strict breeding practices. I will go more in depth on how the mixing and specific breeding practices to make the same bloodline appear again and again.}

taking a deep breath I tried to push those worries out of my mind. Right now I am more concerned about the news coming from the rangers that patrol the Great Forest of Ruin. The beast seem to be congregating and becoming more and more aggressive against adventurers of all races and even some of the smaller settlements on the edge of the forest have already been destroyed.

The people that live out there would never have a chance, they basically live like they are in the ancient times. On top of that they would have to travel for at least a day to get here and let me know. The Rangers said that the settlement had been destroyed for roughly a week.

I sighed as I read the reports once again. I felt even more concerned when I realized that the largest part of the beast wave was grouping on the path in between here and the Caravian Plains.

As soon as I got word of the beast tide gathering I asked Jeeves to go and find our family. He left immediately, I was startled when I saw the armor he put on though... I knew it very well, it is the armor of the supposed dead Emperor of the Blazing Empire, Gerard Rutherford Blazing, known as the greatest Emperor of the Blazing Empire.

If my guess was correct something made him flee from his brother but it was not my place to get involved. I just hoped that he was able to get to the kids in time. I could only imagine how Axel or any of the girls would take it if any of them ended up getting severely injured.

Sighing again I rubbed my brow and looked out the window trying to forget a lot of the events that have taken place recently...

*Axel's POV*

*ROAR*

I roared again making the beast in front of us open a path. As we walked past them they didn't dare take a step forward. I only killed the beast we needed for food and the rest were spared from my wrath as we walked into the forest getting deeper and deeper.

I noticed it when we first entered the forest, I could feel something calling out to me. No, it was calling out to all the beast. Silvara and the girls said that the beast had been extremely aggressive when they were passing through.

They also explained what the 'beast tide' or 'beast wave' actually was. The short version is, a strong beast starts bringing the lesser beast under their control before trying to attack as many settlements as possible trying their hardest to cause as much destruction and chaos as possible.

In my head I see it as beast puberty, except this teenager doesn't have anyone to put them in there place. The fact that I could feel a calling pissed me off. I felt insulted that a lesser being was trying to control me.

If I could see my own eyes at this time I would have seen them glowing with a cold and merciless light. Somethings have really changed since gaining my Beast King Bloodline. First and foremost is I hate it more then anything if something tries to control me. Secondly, don't try to touch my women or I am likely to eat you... Literally... There are many more examples but the one that is making us head deeper into the forest is my pride as a Beast King, no one controls the King...

I was startled when I felt a soft hand touch my arm. Looking over I saw Laurel looking at me with a soft smile.

"You know Axel, I think you are crazy for going towards the thing strong enough to make all of these beast submit. But after seeing the way that no beast dares attack you I am a bit reassured. Just please don't do anything reckless again... We just got you back."

I looked into her eyes and I could see the concern and hear the vulnerability in her voice. I stopped and pulled her into a kiss. The group noticing my actions stopped to wait for us but thankfully they didn't stare or try to eavesdrop. They tactfully turned their backs to us and let us have a moment.

Pulling back from the kiss I looked into her eyes again.

"I am sorry for leaving last time, I have no plans to do so again so please just trust me." She tightened her arms around me as she leaned into my chest nodding her head but not speaking. I could tell she was still worried but I felt I needed to do this. If not only for myself but also for the innocent people that will die if the beast tide forms fully without someone intervening.

I held her for a moment more before I noticed a couple stupid beast trying to inch closer towards my group.

*Grrr*

I let a deep growl build in my chest as I released Laurel from my arms and gradually started taking on my bestial features. I grew taller, my muscles bulged and fur started sprouting on my body. I stepped towards the beast as Lozen and Amani both started following my actions.

Growling deeply letting the sound of our combined intimidation spread throughout the forest around us. I leapt forward all of a sudden and grabbed the leopard looking beast by its head because is was the closest one to attacking. It just so happened that it was going after Taylor so I got even angrier.

With a clench of my fingers I popped its head like a water balloon. I used my mana to keep the blood from touching my body and soiling my fur.

The beast surrounding us all jumped back quickly, trying to put as much distance between myself and them as they could. When I spoke next my voice had changed, it had become deeper reverberating through the trees around me.

"If any of you attack again you will all die." I made sure to put the finality in my tone making the beast around us tremble in fright.

*Hmph*

I snorted before returning to my group. As we continued to get closer to the source of the call I could feel it becoming twisted and just wrong.

I don't know what it could be but whatever it is, it should not have tried to mess with my autonomy.

*Sasha POV*

After getting Layla out of Garths hands I ran until I got to my families hidden compound in the Great Forest of Ruin. Layla's condition was actually quite critical. The doctors and alchemist all for that Garth had forced her to mate with him while he was in his Centaur form and she was in her human form.

He had impregnated her at some point in time but didn't care as he continued to abuse her body for his sexually depraved satiation. I had the doctor abort the baby and had the formation experts seal her memory of that time. I didn't want her to be stuck in her memories unable to move forward after such a dramatic experience.

While the formation expert was working Layla's eyes snapped open and focused on me. Startled I ran forward and grabbed her hand.

"Layla, are you feeling better do you need something, anything?" I asked flustered because I was too happy to see her awake for the first time in over a week.

She looked into my eyes for a moment before speaking and what she said floored me. That wasn't the first thing she did though, she looked at the formation expert and shook her head.

"Please stop what you are doing. You can take the full pay Sasha gave you, just leave my memories alone for now."

She then turned back to me and stared for a moment. "Did you warn Taylor about Garth working with the Blazing Empire, I remember I was able to tell you that something was going on..."

I shook my head slowly. "No Layla, I took you away instantly because I couldn't see you get hurt anymore. I have no idea what is going on in the village... I haven't left here for over a week because I didn't want to leave you behind.."

I spoke slowly feeling the weight of Layla's gaze. She had a disappointed look on her face as she stared at me. I lowered my head in shame. It was at that time Layla moved. She wrapped me into a tight hug.

"Thank you cousin for saving me from me, I just wish you didn't have to betray your best friend to do so." I could hear the emotion in her voice and before I knew it we had both collapsed to the floor and were crying in each others embrace.

After about fifteen minutes she looked around and noticing where we were she jumped to her feet.

"Sasha how long did you say we have been in the hidden compound?"

"A little over a week why?"

"Then even if we wanted to warn the other there is no way we would be able to get to them."

"What do you mean Layla?"

"What I mean is Garth used to let the people from the Blazing Empire take turns on me. Using my body they would tell me secrets about what they were going to do across the continent... Sasha, the Blazing Empire is working with multiple groups to take over the continent... The first plan is to use a beast tide to weaken the forces of every other civilization besides their own... I am sure they are already in the process. Tell me has there been any reports of strange movements from the beast in the surrounding forest?"

I was stunned by her words. What hit me the hardest is that my innocent and beautiful cousin had been abused by so many men... I started crying again, angry at myself for not getting her out sooner...

"Sasha, what is done is done, we cannot change the past no matter what. I am out now, so please answer my questions."

*Darren POV*

As I was leaving the castle letting my Hell Hounds follow the imperceptible traces of Prince Scumbag and his accomplice I caught word that there was a possible beast tide building in the Great Forest of Ruin. The news was sparking many people to panic but amongst them you would see the odd excited look. The adventurers were all gearing up excitedly moving towards the forest to fight beast and try to get a big paycheck.

The thing that was concerning me was that my Hell Hounds were leading us in the very same direction. I might as well as stop in and see Byron after everything is all said and done. The last time I had seen my brother and nieces was around 15 years ago. Coincidentally that was also the day that my brothers wife was trying to sell my nieces to some nobles and I caught wind of it.

Byron and I fought because I slapped the shit out of her for her disrespect to my brother and for the heartlessness of her action towards her own daughters.

My heart broke when the news came recently about Byron having to imprison Tiana, but I did heave a sigh of relief when I heard that he finally banished that greedy bitch he once called his wife to the sky dungeon.

I looked forward as we neared the forest. I could smell the scent of dark magic in the air. Normally I wouldn't care, as dark affinities are a very common occurrence in our world and some of the world heroes are actually darkness users. I had felt the aura of a lot of them and I could tell this was a bad seed of the bunch. With a sigh I knew that this was going to be much more troublesome then I had first thought.

Luckily I could tell that his aura was only at the Nascent Soul Realm, unluckily he has most likely using a very sinister magic boosting his strength much farther then the normal Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

It was at this time that I caught the aura of my niece Silvara in my perception. My brow furrowed as I noticed that she was headed with a group directly in the same direction I was heading. Thinking to here I decided it was time to see my dear niece.
