[Forest Dungeon]

While the other are fighting against Simba (who's now taking form of the same beast six years back), we are fighting against the Beastman that were recruited by the group

Thing is, with the forest being burn into ashes, my lung couldn't really bare all the smoke and ashes, as I tried to try my best not to cough by keeping up the water magic: rain torrent a bit longer. Seeing this,

"""""Wind magic: Smoke asphyxiation!""""" [Rean, Kara, Mara, Lara, Nara]

"The smoke"

~Fit of violent cough~

"My lung..."

"It's burning..."

"Can't... Breath..."

"Everything... Going... dar..."

"Thank you very much! Now I can breath easier!" [Charlotte]

"Little sister like you need our protection 24/7 after all" [Mara]

"Hey!" [Charlotte]

"Focus. They aren't like your typical brainless devil" [Rean]

"Rean is right, but in a way, this fight against group of beastmen will be a practice for you before the real deal" [Titania]

"I don't like the sound of it..." [Zerolith]

"Well, most brainless devil you saw were monster and some from the intelligence species, and they behaved like that due to their connection to the God of Life aren't as strong as the ten commanders, but once God of Life resurrected..." [Titania]

"I see. Then this really is a practice before the fallen god resurrection" [Karon]

"Meaning if we can't beat them now..." [Lara]

"We won't stand a chance against The Fallen God and her army of devils" [Nara]

True. The True Beastman Group in front of us is stronger than your everyday beastman guard, knight, mage, adventures etc, and they still retain some form of intelligence and critical thinking that will prove to be deadly soon enough. That's why

"Water Golem: Acidic Hydra!" [Charlotte]

Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author's preferred platform and support their work!

Which is why, bringing down their number while they're trying to regroup is essential. The 3-headed acidic hydra golem, by my command, start shooting mass of corrosive acidic ball one after another, all the while making 200% sure not to hit any fairies that are helping us. The armours worn out with each successive hit and splash, but I guess my acid aren't strong enough for certain beastman with strong exoskeleton or shell. Not only that, certain beastman like the elephant and rhino beastman, even when they doesn't have any sort of shell like turtle or exoskeleton like the beetle, their thick skin couple with their naturally strong defense make it an extra tough nut to crack

"Mirage magic: Illusion of Fairy Queen" [Titania]

And once again, Titania spread her wing and the entire battlefield is fill with her mirage mana, and

"Take this you scumbag hero!"

"My arm! My arm turn into a medusa"

"Where did that attack comes from!?"

"I can't see! Why is it suddenly getting darker and darker!?"

"The bug! Don't! Don't crawl into my ear and nose! GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT"

"Giants! The giants are helping the ten heroes!"

Beastman with low resistance against mirage magic, and those who have low mental resistance are easily affected by the illusion shown by The Fairy Queen. Interestingly enough, I don't think they're all experiencing the same illusion. It's pretty impressive, that's without a single doubt. Usually, to save your mana as well as your own mental energy, magician that specialises in mirage mana will make an illusion spell that causes the same illusion/hallucination/delusion to group of people. That come with the added benefit of knowing which of your target aren't affected or weakly affected by the spell as you could easily make out the odd one. Of course, if all are experiencing the same, then it's easy to dispel the spell, so that's why variation is often needed, but to gave each and every single one of them a different type of illusion is beyond amazing, although

"You fairy there! Maintain the illusion as long as you can" [Calypso]

"YES!"

The fairies under Titania's command play no small part in it. I'm sure Titania is perfectly capable of above feet all by her own, but with the strength borrowed by other fairies, the power and effect strengthen tremendously

"Earth magic: Pitfall" [Karon]

"Fire, dark, wind magic: Hell Tornado! Fill the pitfall" [Rean]

"Neutral magic: Strength up! Defense up! Speed up! Ally protection" [Lara]

"Thank you!" [Nara]

Karon begin to make them fall one after another into a pitfall, and Rean fill it with his Hell tornado magic, burning everyone inside, all the while Nara with his scythe get up close and personal to slaughter them with his scythe one by one. Thanks to Lara Ally Protection spell, Rean's Hell Tornado spell does not, if not, minimally affect Lara even when it comes into contact with it. If course, it won't last long enough, but for someone as strong as Nara, a short period of time is all he needed

"Take the stone! Just increase the special stone consumption!"

"The devil prince and the old demon king can make more after all!"

"Don't forget to take the drug to counter Fairy Queen mirage magic"

And they begin to reorganize themselves. Maybe because their leader are busy fighting against Mrs Khamishah and the other that their response are slower than one would expect, but that turn out the best for us after all

"Oh no you don't! Tailwind magic" [Kara]

"Earth magic: Glass shattering spell" [Mara]

Kara and Mara tries their best not to let those beastman consume anything that will turn the tide of the battle onto the beastman favour, with shattered glass traveling at high velocity piercing the Beastman

"KYAAAH!"

"My tongue! Help me remove the glass!"

"Why you! You're so dead!"

Still, they're too many of them, and some of them actually shield the other and let their friend take those mysterious thing first before taking it for themselves, which is actually pretty admirable and a smart decision from their side

"They're coming!" [Charlotte]

"Brace yourself!" [Rean]

"RIGHT!" [Other]

And their counterattack start, but not before

"Why are they so many damn glass!"

"Wait, this is... A crystal?"

"Damn it's a tough crystal! It can crush one skull!"

I see

"Thank you for arriving so soon, Bobunny" [Charlotte]

~Happy chuckling~

Looks like our counterattack started as soon as they wanted to counteract us
