Chapter 48: Human Alliance.
Martial arts alliance headquarters.
An elderly man wakes up from a long sleep. The servants that had taken care of him quickly informed the physician. Soon, the news of the elderly oracle waking up from a long coma spread.
Half an hour later, the doctor and servant left, leaving only two elderly men to have a conversation inside the room.
"That is what happens during your coma." The nice elderly explain what happened over the course of one year.
"The situation is this bad." The elderly oracle rubbed his head.
"Yes."
"Contact all the kingdoms and orthodox factions and gather all the people to launch an attack on Huli Mountain." The elderly oracle looks at his friend with a serious face.
"It is impossible that they need to protect their territory from the demonic beast."
"You don’t understand; before I fainted, I saw a vision, and the only hope for humans to survive is to kill the demonic beast queen."
"Let me discuss with others first."
After the nice elderly man left, the elderly oracle wanted to say something but remained silent. He had many dreams during his coma; one of them is of a blurry woman figure with nine fox tails, and behind her is a large fox with numerous tails that can cover the entire sky. Humanity can’t lose hope, and he had a feeling that the reason he got into a coma was because he tried to predict something that this world didn’t want him to see.

A few months later, the human kingdoms make an alliance and send their army to combat the demonic beast. When the demonic beast army is ready for battle, the human army ignores the conquered city and town and goes straight to Huli Mountain. Because of that, the four demonic beast generals had been called back to defend the mountain.
But some of the cities and towns began to revolt, causing the return to be delayed.
On the large river, hundreds of ships with soldiers are heading to the Huli mountain.
"How many days are left before we arrive at Huli Mountain?" A middle-aged general asked.
"General, two more days on the ship and two or three days on land."
"Is there any sign of a demonic beast?"
"No."
"Don’t stop for anything."
General, according to a report from a ship scout, a village near the river had been attacked by demonic beasts." The soldier comes running after receiving a message from a flying pigeon.
"Attack any demonic beast that comes near the ship."
"Yes, general."
Along the river, the general and soldiers see villages that have been burned and corpses lying around.
"Damn it?" The general curses while his fist bangs the deck railing. According to the last report, most of the humans near Huli Mountain had already surrendered and had been spared from the massacre. That means once the humans revolted, the demonic beasts decided to kill all the humans.
While he is thinking, the ships are shaking from a turbulent water wave. "What happen!"
"We don’t know; the river at this time of the year is usually calm!" The soldier holds onto the deck railing to prevent him from falling from the ship.
When the wave is gone, what they see in front is a large dragon with a serpent's neck.
"It’s the dragon turtle; reload the ballista and catapult!"
The soldiers begin to panic over one of the demonic beasts that no one wants to meet in the battle.
"It’s useless." Levi creates a large magic cycle in the water, and a large water vortex appears and sucks any nearby ships. At the same time, the whirlpool destroyed any ships that entered.
"Help!"
"Turn the ship around!" However, it was useless for the ships to be gradually sucked into the whirlpool.
When the water vortex stops, there are no more ships on the river except for shipwrecks. However, some of the soldiers managed to survive and swim to the riverbank.
"Your lunch is ready; come down the water!" Levi shouted toward the riverbank.
The woods begin to become noisy, and many aquatic demonic beasts enter the water and feast.
A demonic crocodile opens his mouth and bites the soldier's arms. A humanoid demonic crab cleaves the human into two, and others begin to kill and eat the other human.
While the aquatic demonic beasts are busy eating, several humans manage to escape. However, what greeted them was a flying arrow that killed them. After killing them, a black-clad human comes out of the woods, and the land demonic beast pounces on the corpses and begins eating.
Everything is going according to plan. Although Levi is strong in the river, once he is on land, he will be a target for most people because of his large size. Fortunately, he is not alone and can shrink.
While he was thinking, he heard a monotone voice in his mind.
[Warning: the demonic eight-tail fox ascension will soon begin to protect the demonic beast queen."]
["Finish this mission and your main mission will be considered complete and you will be rewarded with a lesser azure dragon bloodline and an advanced magic elements manual."]
‘It looks like the time has come for the final battle.’ Levi thought. "Stop eating and proceed to Huli Mountain!"
Hearing the order, all the demonic beasts obey without complaint, because if they do, their punishment is death.
-
Huli mountain.
Inside a large chamber, a large white eight-tail fox feels her body qi is chaotic. Shin Yi can no longer transform into a humanoid form. Her time has finally come, and if she succeeds, no human can defeat her.
Mother, what's wrong?" Asked Shen Tu worriedly. He has never seen his mother in this condition before.
"I am going to break through to Nine Tail; this is my last order before I go into seclusion; protect this mountain before I come out."
"Mother, what will happen if you fail?" Prince Shin Tu asked.
"That means my fate will be the same as your father's; keep a closer watch on the unorthodox factions and demonic cult; if they try to do anything strange, kill them." Shin Yi's husband is a demonic eight-tail fox who died during his ascension to the nine-tail fox.
Shin Tu, after leaving his mother's chamber, is anxious. Suddenly, he heard a baby crying. He smiles and follows the cry. As he enters a chamber on the bed, he can see a woman trying to calm the baby down.
That woman is Qiao Chin, with her son. The baby looks normal without any beastly features.
"Let me hold my son." As soon as Shin Tu holds his son. The baby laughed.
Qiao Chin, after finding out about her parents' deaths, vows to get revenge. But she found out she was pregnant and felt complicated. After the prince found out, he began to treat her nicely.
"Starting today, stay in this room and don’t come out; the human alliance is preparing to attack this mountain."
"What."
"Don’t worry, the four generals are heading back to protect us." Shin Tu reassures her.

Although Levi manages to defeat the alliance army at the river, on land, it is a different story; there is a fierce battle between the demonic army and the humans everywhere. When the battle is at a standstill, the ground begins to shake. The four demonic beast generals and their army have returned. Because of that, humans begin to retreat and camp outside the forest.
Human Alliance Camp
Many people from different kingdoms and martial arts alliances are gathered inside a large tent. Discussing their next move.
"When will the rest of the reinforcement arrive?"
"According to the report, in four or five days."
"Now the problem is, who is going to take care of the four demonic beasts in general?"
The rest of the people keep quiet because they know the most dangerous demonic beasts are the four generals.
"The Qing kingdom will take care of the dragon horse." An elderly general spoke up. His kingdom in the past is the empire that unites all kingdoms. One of the reasons is the dragon horse cavalry. If they can capture the dragon horse, they can create powerful cavalry again.
Some people realize the elderly's general intention but pretend to be ignorant. Because if the Qing kingdom manages to capture the dragon horse, the other kingdom will not stay still.
The others begin to choose which demonic beast general is the one to kill. After that, the only one left is the dragon turtle, but none of them volunteered. The reason is simple: the dragon turtle is huge and fights like a human, not a demonic beast.
In the end, a middle-aged monk from the Shaolin temple volunteered. The rest of them will take care of the other demonic beast's army.
When the meeting ended, a nice elderly man from the martial arts alliance walked toward the middle-aged monk. "Why did you choose to fight the dragon turtle?"
"Because I feel a certain connection with the dragon turtle."
"Don’t tell me you are going to convert the dragon turtle to join the temple."
"No, do you know that from what I found out, the dragon turtle can be reasoned with compared to other demonic beasts that only know slaughter?"
"I had read the report, but it’s still a demonic beast."
"It's fine if I fail, as long as we can delay the dragon turtle; our main mission is to kill the demonic beast queen."
"Don’t worry once you deal with the other demonic beast general; we will come to your support."
