"*Nod* Mhm, now let me tell you what truly happened 10,000 years ago.

It was a day that was slightly more chaotic day than usual in the Stamnola Great Forest in the northeastern continent in Cinith. You see, this forest held the Dark Fox clan. Everything was somewhat hectic due to the birth of a new Demon King. The Demon King of Fluff had just risen into the 12th seat of the Demon Kings.

During this chaos, a god came into the forest, and he said-

"Submit to the great Rydel Aestina!!"(Dead God)

He was utterly ignored, and everyone continued on with their business. At the sight of being ignored as any arrogant elf would, he tried to attack a dark fox only to be decapitated by the clan leader before even getting a hit in on 1 of them.

A similar scenario happened four more times before the arrogant elven great god came himself.

"Let me speak to your leader!"(Elf Great God)

Dark foxes not being high enough authority or were too weak could only take him to the clan leader.

"Submit to me!"(Elf Great God)

While he wanted to kill him for just saying that, he tried to get him to leave peacefully because he did not wish to start a war.

"*Glare* Leave if you are going to spout bullshit."(Shadowtail Leader)

It then devolved from there until the Elven god attacked the clan leader, at which point, he, too, was killed like his subordinates. Afterward, the system announced the death of the god all through the realms, and the gods were pissed and declared a war against the Dark Fox clan. They tried to get the Demon Kings and the Spirit Kings to join the war.

The Demon Kings held an emergency Walpurgis while the spirit kings held an Elemental Council. The results of the Walpurgis were 8 to 4, with 8 against and 4 for the war. The three strongest Demon Kings them being the Demon King of Blood, Silent Death, and Fluff, respectively, were against it.

The Elemental council was a 10 to 6, with 10 against and 6 for. Then a Great council was held with all the Demon Kings, Greater Gods, and Spirit Kings combined to find out who was for and who was against. All the Greater Gods were for it, 6 Spirit Kings, and 2 Demon Kings betrayed the Demon King alliance and joined the war."(Rina)

"Um, quick question. Why was the Demon King of Fluff in the top 3 if she was a new Demon King?"(Autumn)

"It's because she has contracts with Demon King level beasts. Now back to the story.

The Greater Gods, Spirit Kings, and Demon Kings rallied an army of over 400,000,000 gods, high spirits, and archdemons to fight against the Dark Fox clan. But what they didn't know was that the Dark Foxes also called for backup. They called for the three other clans and the 4-clan leaders, and their wives were standing at the border waiting for the army to arrive.

What appeared before them was an army of over 300,000,000 strong led by 2 Demon Kings, 3 Spirit Kings, and 8 Greater Gods. All 8 of them approached the army and exclaimed.

"Lay down your weapons, and we will not attack! Should you choose otherwise, we will slay your entire army!""(Rina)

"Question. Didn't you say there was over 400,000,000 million?"(Autumn)

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

"*Nod* You are correct. Unkown to the 8, there was an army marching on all 8 of their dungeons."(Rina)

"Why would they do that?"(Autumn)

"It's because if a dungeon core is shattered, the dungeon master will also die. Now back to the story. The army did not heed their warning and charged forward. Seeing as they refused to listen, they charged while releasing their auras to slow down the enemy. And this is how the legend of the Great Demons came about.

They slaughtered thousands with each spell and killed dozens with each claw. The enemy army was shocked what should have been an overwhelming victory for them led to them being one-sidedly slaughtered. The war lasted all of 2 days before almost all the army was decimated, with the commanders dead. Just as they were finishing up the last remints of the army, the other team had finally reached the core room of the 8 dungeons.

But they, too, suffered heavy casualties. Losing over 3/4 of their army, all 3 Spirit Kings, and 5 Greater Gods. 3 hours after reaching the core room, they finally destroyed all the cores. Just as they were destroyed, all 8 of the Great Demons were shocked as they felt their dungeon core shatter and their lives slowly drained away.

Once the enemy army arrived, they found the corpses of their army along with the bodies of 2 Fenrir, 2 Dark foxes, and 2 Nemean Lions, along with 2 very weak phoenixes. Open spotting the army, the male phoenix, who was the leader of the True Phoenix clan, made his wife leave while he held off the army.

Ultimately, he was killed after taking a few thousand to the grave with him. Then the Greater Gods told a false story to the masses and painted the True clans as evil and to be hunted down. That is the true story of what happened."(Rina)

"So, the entire war was caused because of 1 Greater Gods' greed causing the deaths of millions?"(Autumn)

"*Nod* Yep. If that 1 Greater God just didn't attack, there would not have been such senseless slaughter. Moreover, the clans would not be on the brink of extinction too."(Rina)

I then glanced over at the guys in the cell, who looked like they had just attained enlightenment.

"So that's the full story. We only know of pieces of what truly happened. But... may I ask how you came to learn this?"(Training Dummy 1)

Huh, seems like he has more respect for me. But if they know only know a piece of what happened, then who was spreading it? And if there's one that worships the Ice Demoness, then is there one for the other 7, or are they all sub-groups of 1 big group?

"I'll answer but, only after you tell me if there are groups who worship the other 7."(Rina)

"There is. We are part of 1 big church that worships all 8 great demons. I and my partners are a part of the Ice Demon faction."(Training Dummy 1)

"Ice Demon faction? Not the Ice Demoness faction?"(Rina)

"*Head Shake* No, we worship both Ice Demons and wish for the revival of both Ice Demons. The other factions have the same goal."(Training Dummy 1)

"Huh, good to know. But one thing. It was stupid to try and use Autumn for the revival of the Ice Demoness."(Rina)

"And why is that?"(Training Dummy 1)

"Her bloodline."(Rina)

"(Confused) What about it? She's a High Snowwolf-beastman with a Fenriric bloodline of 50%. That's very rare to get."(Training Dummy 1)

High Snowwolf-beastman? She's a fucking True Vampire! Wh- Wait, it couldn't be.

"Did you see it with your eyes?"(Rina)

"*Nod* Yes."(Training Dummy 1)

So, she did inherit that trait! She has the status concealment of the True clans get when they are in humanoid form! She wouldn't know how to turn it off, let alone even know about it.

"You're wrong. She's a True Vampire with the Fenriric bloodline."(Rina)

When I said that, they all went pale at the implications of what I just said.

"Now, onto why that wouldn't work. First is obviously her vampiric bloodline is way stronger than her Fenriric bloodline. Second, inhabiting a humanoid species is also a no-no. And finally, just making a revival spell is considered impossible.

And for how I know so much about the great war. I'm Rina Frostfang, the 5th generation clan leader of the Frostfang clan and the great-granddaughter of Celestria Frostfang and Ronmin Frostfang, the 2nd generation clan leader of the Frostfang clan. Or, as you people know them, the Great Demons of Ice."(Rina)

Their faces then showed shock, awe, and reverence.

"*Clap* But well, that's enough chit-chat. Let's get things over with."(Rina)

They all then had a hopeful look.

"You'll let us go?"(Training Dummy 1)

"Under normal circumstances, I would."(Rina)

Their eyes grew even more excited.

"But you touched one of my clansmen and made her suffer. So; you shall suffer. Whether or not you live afterward is up to her. *Evil Smile* so, shall we begin?"(Rina)

*Snap* *crrr*

I then froze them in place while their faces were filled with despair and dread.
