Chapter 45：CHAPTER 41 THE HUMANS

Having decided this he approached Fredrick and asks him directly "Will you be willing to submit to me?"

Fredrick was at first dazed hearing his question of course he knew who Shadowslash is he was the fox that gave him the name 'Fredrick' the reason is that Wolf-San had briefed him when they got here about Shadowslash

Fredrick then recovered from his stupor and look at his daughter who was in a pitiful state then he replied in a determined manner "YES"

Shadowslash then drops a blood towards Fredrick then brought him to the cave

He had Leafinia heal him and also have Valkiry rest underneath the Luminous Tree of Life to hasten her recovery

He then once again left the cave and went to the outer part of the forest to scout out the strength of the humans

When he arrived at the outer part of the forest the first place he visited is the old cave but when he got there he saw some of the humans were actually there mining the crystal in the cave

He then used this opportunity to test the combat ability of the humans but first he need to observe

He was watching silently for an hour and finally found out that the humans were actually soldiers actually he only guessed they are soldiers because their uniform and attitude were actually the same as a soldier they all have red uniforms and their attitude were too disciplined to be a normal commoners

He also counted this small group of soldiers and found out they were only a dozen of them while the leader of these soldiers was a soldier with a beard and his clothes have additional golden line on them

Shadowslash could actually obtained more information if he understood what they were speaking but sadly his time in this world was just too little so he still don't have that much information about this world

Shadowslash decided to kill all these soldiers and would hunt the others one by one to lessen the threat one person at a time

Having decided this he then use [Shadow Clones] and have his 6 clones engage in battle against the soldiers while he would be targeting the leader

He went into the shadows and disappeared instantly none of the soldiers were aware that he was creeping closer towards their leader

The soldiers started to organise themselves and faced the incoming clones

The soldiers inside the caves started coming out and also joined the formation

The clones have now reached the soldiers they started attacking them

The soldiers that were carrying shields were using all their ability to hold on

The swordsmen started stabbing towards the clones but all of their attacks were dodged easily by the 6 clones

The leader raised his hands and the remaining soldiers started to nock their bows

Then leader was about to commence the new command when suddenly Shadowslash dashed towards him and used [Double Flaming Dark Slash] towards his head

*Pwak* Shadowslash attack killed the horse and also ripped the arm of the leader but he did not manage to kill him

When he was about to hit the leader a glow suddenly emitted on the necklace on the neck of the leader then his body was like pulled by a force managing to keep his life towards Shadowslash sneak attack

The archers who had already nocked their bows started releasing them towards Shadowslash

Seeing this Shadowslash used [Rapid Fire Flame Bullets] releasing countless Flame Bullets which at least thrice as fast as the arrows

When the attack met they caused explosions every collision it seems that there is actually something special about the arrows they were actually different kind of skills and elements embedded in the arrows

Seeing this Shadowslash immediately retreated but because of the archers focus on him his clones have already entered the formation of the soldiers and were wrecking havoc towards the soldiers

Even though the clones have been wrecking havoc the soldiers still clear headed and there was an additional shield soldier guarding the leader

Seeing that the humans were not easy to deal with he decided to truly take this seriously he then fired a [Darkflame Blast] towards the leader and activated [Clairvoyance] then charging towards the leader the [Darkflame Blast] he released that have used was actually something he was charging from start it would mean that the moment he released the [Darkflame Blast] he was using 50 Mana in just one shot amplifying the attack in tremendous degree

Seeing the incoming attack the shield soldiers then raised their shield high and seems to activate a skill because their shield started glowing so as them

What happened made Shadowslash and everyone dumbstruck because when the [Darkflame Blast] collided with the shield it made a deafening explosion then the soldiers were turned into ashes

The only one left alive in the explosion was the leader of the soldiers but to avoiding Shadowslash attack was not that easy so in the process his sword along with his armor was destroyed his right arm was destroyed he now have burnt marks all over his body

The soldiers started shouting towards their leader and they started dashing towards him only to be stopped then the leader seems to tell them something and all of the soldiers expression turned ugly some of them started crying

Then they all started retreating but before they left they look at Shadowslash full of hate and rage

Shadowslash six clones was chasing the soldiers but was stopped by Shadowslash he then cancel his ability and all of his clones disappeared

He knows that even though he could kill all the soldiers the earlier explosion should have already alerted the enemies so he should leave but before he leave there is one thing he need to do and that is to finish the leader

When he was approaching the leader he saw that he was actually looking at the necklace that manage to save his life from the sneak attack it seems that he wants to hold it but because both of his arms were now gone he could only look at it with a sad expression

Seeing this Shadowslash then picked off the necklace then throws it towards the man

The man was startled by his action and looks at him with an expression of a man who was already ready for his destiny it seems that he had already accepted that he will die today

Shadowslash seriously looks at him for a couple of seconds his expression was complicated but still steeled himself and cut off the man's head using [Dark Slash]

The man's body then slumps to the ground blood was continuously spurting out of his neck

Shadowslash then left the cave and returned to the inner part of the forest but he did not know that after he left after just a couple of minutes countless sound of horse hooves was heard and then an army that has the same uniform from the soldier he fought earlier came

There was one man with a unique and grand uniform that is on a white horse the man got off the horse then approached the man's body that Shadowslash killed earlier

Looking at the corpse the man trembled in fury he then sent a punched to the ground creating a huge crater and cause the forest to shake

Of course Shadowslash was not aware of what happened when he left when he was returning he was in haste to return he still need to recreate the intelligent monster alliance in the inner part of the forest

When he arrived at the cave he saw everyone have already returned so is Don Don and the Everlasting Dark Crows but he was bewildered to see only 5 of the Everlasting Dark Crows returned

He also saw that Fredrick, Purple Kitty's Mother and Aunt Rabbit have already awakened and wad being briefed by his mother and sisters

"Brother is back!" Foxxy suddenly shouted then dash towards him not only her but everyone started dashing towards him when they finally saw that he was okay they all heaved a sigh of relief

Seeing this Shadowslash then asks them in a bewildered manner "What happened that makes you worry about me greatly?"

It was Don Don who told him what happened "It was because the humans that we are facing was more powerful than we think 2 of the Everlasting Dark Crows were killed and they didn't came that close to the human camp so realising this I have the rest of the Everlasting Dark Crows returned and went to scout all by myself"

"What I saw made me tremble in fear hundreds of humans were actually marching into the forest they are now building some kind of place for them and because I have the ability [Acute Instinct] I greatly felt danger towards some of the individuals so I immediately flee"

"I was running back to the inner part of the forest and was thinking of sharing this information to you and the others when suddenly I heard an explosion and felt a familiar aura and realise it was actually similar to yours so when I returned here I told everyone the information that I gathered and also that you were fighting"
