This is a POV of King Folga.  Turn back if you don’t want it. 

I am Folga, the king of the Beasts. I may have said the king but in reality, it is just who is the strongest.

However, since battling the Rage King, a human, I felt that race doesn’t matter anymore in getting stronger. No, humans are strong, I know that.

But he, the man who trampled us down by himself, exceeded any races that existed with brute strength that doesn’t rely on magic.

Today marks my 500th birthday! I am quite old now if the age is the basis, but I am still strong as my prime years!

Gahahaha!

Even my pompous son can’t even hold a candle against me! Speaking of my first son, Begol, he seemed to have gotten madly in love to a maiden.

If I remember correctly, it was Izuna’s daughter. Her name is Higanbana. 

Hmmm…

My son’s taste to a woman is… quite young. It is true that girl is lovely but, isn’t she like 11 years old? This son of mine is around a hundred now. He challenged her to a duel she can’t refuse.

If my son won this duel, I am going to banish him seriously. I don’t like people who use underhanded tactics, even if it is my own family. 

. 

. 

. 

Gahahaha!

The festival this year is lively as always! My people are all setting up stores and stall and we attract many visitors all around the world!

The main event today is the duel of my son against the girl he is in love with.

Gahahaha!

I can’t wait to banish him out of this place!

He needs to learn a two or thing after all! I mean, Izuna is one of my trusted subordinates.

Hmmm, okay, we had a history but that was a long time ago.

Today, I have to attend these troublesome meetings even though I want to watch the match. I heard that it is Begol against Izuna’s child and a human.

I called my trusted advisor Murok, a turtle clan. I told him to bring the winner of the match to the guest room whoever it is. 

. 

. 

.

My word.

Begol lost the match pathetically.

That’s what Murok whispered to me in the middle of the meeting and now the winners seem to be staying in the guest room.

Murok told me that the human with Izuna’s child is also a little girl. I won’t pry on how they defeated Begol, who is a veteran warrior, but losing to two children must have shattered his pride. 

The meeting is over. It took me twenty minutes more than the promise ten minutes of my arrival for the guests. I immediately headed there to know to meet the child who defeated Begol together with Izuna’s child. 

. 

. 

.

What came to my view melts my heart.

A white haired girl and a fox girl who is Izuna’s child are sleeping while leaning to each other. They are also holding the hands of each other. They are breathing softly. They must be really tired.

Waking them up would warrant a lifetime of guilt. 

After waiting for two hours that seems worth it, the white haired girl opens her eyes and peered over to my direction. She observe me quietly then...

“AAHHH!”

“FUEH?!”

The scream of the white haired girl woke up the other one. I just kept staring at them then… 

“Auu…” 

Sorry little girl for being big, scary and intimidating but that’s the way I am. I manage to convince her and she let her guard down. How in the world a child like her stands up against Begol. 

She looks like someone who would run or get scared easily in a bad situation. Like a rabbit.

We made small talks and I ask her name. then… 

“My name is Asagao Lionheart, nice meeting you King Folga.”

As she said, she showed me the genuine insignia of the Lionheart. Yup, she is the genuine article of a lionheart! Her feature is greatly comparable to that man after all! 

“OH?! Hehehe…hahahaha…GAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

What a twist of fate!!! Begol was standing behind the door as I called him too here.

“I see, I see! Begol! Come here come here!”

I made him face the little girl and..

“Look Begol! This little girl here is the little sister of that man! The one who whooped our asses many years ago!!!!”

“GEH!”

“And you tried to make her your concubine! Gahahaha! If that would happen our kingdom is doom you know!! Gahahahaha!!!”

The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

Hahaha! It was no joke!

I reminiscence the day the rage king came and mowed down every warrior here.

The little girls greeted me for my birthday, it made me feel better that I want to tell the tale of the Rage King who came here and whooped our asses and had a drink with him at the end of the day!

.

.

.

That man, Ashfon came to our land to participate in our yearly tournament ten years ago!

He was with his lover, a fairy kin! Although they will bicker sometimes, their harmony as lovers was a perfect match!

The reason he participated in the tournament is simple. To fight and to become stronger.

The prize didn’t matter to him. He faced every opponent with braveness and high intellect in battle.

He was a fearless man and many beast men admired him, Begol was one with those people. His wild swordsmanship that will alternately use a heavy sword to twin swords.  His quick movements that you think you are seeing a blur.

Lastly, his appearance when defeating enemies, his white hair glitters.

He challenged all of my sons. He was still unsatisfied so he fought with the seven generals excluding Izuna as she is taking care of her newborn baby.

Finally, he fought me. At first, the match was even, but each time passes, his movement became more brutal, his strength became more ferocious and his atmosphere changes.

The match rages on until he blew me twenty meters away from his final attack. It was a fun match even though I lost.

.

.

.

Then an incident happened. Deep within the shrine that the fox clan is serving. Evil spirits come bursting forth from it. In that time, we are to serve a sacrifice.

Yes. The sacrifice is none other than Izuna’s child, Higanbana.

Izuna strongly refuses to sacrifice her child and fight back to those who will force her. The thing is, this evil spirits can only be suppressed by light magic.

We, the beast men, specialize in enhancement magic and cannot defeat or drove away those evil spirits. The fox clan is believed to have a light property magic imbued in their soul so they are special to us since their soul will suppress the evil spirits for more than ten years.

I hate this but I can’t do anything. Heroes who have light powers had not come yet so we are at a roadblock.

The fox race is declining too. Only souls with a light property are only sacrifices.

But he, who stands above all the warriors in the beast continent right now, also stands against this evil spirits. He was angry and very enrage that we are to sacrifice a baby.

He quickly destroyed the shrine and dove in the nest of this evil spirits. It was absurd. Many evil spirits will try to enter someone’s body and feed to their soul.

But the man, Ashfon Astlan Lionheart, showed that he is more wicked, evil, nastier, pugnacious and wrathful than anyone else. The evil spirits stand no chance against him and were devoured instead by his rage.

From that time, I have feared at the same time, was awed by the existence that saved not only a life of a baby but possibly, saved my continent.

After we showered him with gratitude and had a drink with which he showed irritation, he and his lover left.

.

Ahh… the nostalgia…

Oh, the little miss is requesting for a boat. Unfortunately, there is no available boat so I told her about the alternative routes. She looked so down, though.

The next day, the companion of the little girl… err… this little girl here, this little girl there. Even though the silver haired girl is taller than the little sister of the rage king…how do I say this. They are small for me that I just started calling them little.

Anyway, the silver-haired girl challenged me to a battle. I am kind of worried if her head is working right if she is challenging me alone. The little sister of the rage king spoke.

“King Folga, it is better for you to get more companions against this one, she is an abnormal after all.”

“What do you mean by that? Do you think how many should I bring?”

“The only thing I can say is she is absurd. Bring every strong person you know and don’t let any civilian get close to the arena.”

“I see, if you are that confident of her, I shall bring the seven generals with my sons.”

I am still worried, though. I don’t want to gang up such small girl like her.

That’s what I thought!!!

Some of the generals were complaining to me about beating up a single girl. Izuna is amazingly quiet. They were yapping that I stood so low to do this to a frail human. Even my sons were complaining.

That’s what they thought!!!

.

.

.

She was a walking, living Deva. She sent one of the generals flying up to the sea with one kick. 

Then she goes around like a storm.

I strengthened my enhancement to the max to keep up with her. Izuna was barraging her with high-class magic and compounded magic.

Among the seven generals, Izuna was the strongest.

But the girl, with sheer strength, force her way in the raging magic of Izuna like nothing and gave her a light chop in the back of the neck making her unconscious.

Phew, good thing she didn’t kick her.

All of my sons was splendidly sent flying too and was barrage with a shockwave from her kick.

The casualty count of the buildings and island is rising.  Although I can’t really charge them now because I was warned.

I was the only one left. I am confident of my toughness and sharpness of my claw. I attacked her with a barrage of claw slash. Left and right. Up and down.

She was defending. I thought I got the upper hand. Then she kicks me in the chin. I was sent flying now too. But I have not lost. I was able to push her back, or so I thought.

She was already soaring in the sky to my direction. I made my enhancement shift to defense. Maximum output of defense!

[Avidya Severance! Destroyer of the Seventh Hell!]

BOOM!

I woke up in my room, being treated. It seems I was asleep for a half a day.

Murok told me the result of the battle. We were wiped out. Every son of mine is bedridden and some of the generals can’t move yet except for Izuna.

She purposely goes easy on her.

I visited everyone who participated in the match and wish them for a fast recovery. I visited Begol last. He was there with an enlightened face. I ask him

“Begol, my son, have you finally decided to brush your teeth?”

“Yes, father! At the same time, I will now do my best to become much stronger!”

“Oh?”

“And I was awakened!”

“To?”

“I love big breast!”

Oh god. He got worse I think.

The little sister of the rage king came to me. She is kind of worried about what happened so I told her…

“That was good beat up for everyone! Even my pompous son now learned his lesson and wants to become more proper!! That girl!! Absurd!! GAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

Yes. The general’s that up until now was maintaining their self, now strive for more power. We need it of course.

For the battle against the devils that infest our world. I had a good time with them. Especially that absurd girl.

It seems Izuna is sending off the little girls now.

Hm?

She is also sending off her daughter. My, what a change of heart. Making her daughter now go out of the world, to experience various things.

This overprotective mother, she was able to move on now from the death of her husband huh.

We send them off.

.

.

.

After two weeks. The whole world shook with great tremor. From afar, we can see a dazzling pillar of light.

Did a god descends our world?!
