[Inside the Forest Dungeon]
"Coordinate our fire attack and attack the Raging Water Magician!"
"Yoshhh!"
"No matter how powerful her water magic is, she can't beat us all!"
"If all fail, we can just consume the stone more and more until we overpower her"
"Maybe we can then capture her and take her blessing away"
"Sell her as well to the..."
"WHAT WAS THAT!" [Rean]
Hearing the last line, Rean and the other snap, with Rean straight away using the fire magic cast by those beastman, making a 360 degree turn with his katana, and use his own fire magic to further boost the fire power, before
"Wind magic: Blow them away!" [Rean]
Before he uses the same fire to burn those beastman into crisp, however
"Earth wall""Earth wall""Earth wall"
"Earth wall" "Earth wall""Earth wall"
"Earth wall""Earth wall""Earth wall"
They're coordinating well among themselves. For someone under the influence of hypnotism, they sure are capable of thinking straight and thoroughly, alas
"Earth magic: Pitfall" [Kara]
"Earth magic: sandpit" [Mara]
"Earth magic: Cover those wall with spear!" [Karon]
The three earth caster of our group outsmart them, using the very same earth walls that the beastman try do hard to cast. Pitfall to make them lost their footing, sandpit is to crumble those wall and let those beastman swallow the sand to further damage their respiratory system that had been burned by previous fire magic, and the spear that come out from the wall, it start to pierce the beastman one by one. Forehead. In between the eyes. Nose. From entering right ear and exiting through the left ear. Impaling through the mouth. Nose. Throat. Axilla. Abdomen. Heart of the beastman going out from their chest. The femur and hip bone shattering. Such gruesome magic and yet
"Heal them"
"Let them consume the stone!"

"No you won't! Dark magic: Abyssal bullets" [Zerolith]
~Angry chuckling~
Zerolith rapid abyssal bullet firing enhanced with Bobunny's earth magic strengthening each bullets, by converting it from a powerful magical bullets to a powerful compact magical crystal bullets, that carry extra power through sheer force alone, along with Zerolith's powerful dark magic, start raining down the beastman. To add matter worse (for the Beastman that is)
"Mirage magic: Sea of mirages" [Titania]
Now, the bullets from Zerolith gun carry along mirage magic of the Fairy Queen, and when the bullet and the magic enter the body of the beastman
"Mirage control" [Titania]
And before the beastman even know it
"What!?"
"My body"
"GAAAAAHHH!"
"Hoi!? What are you doing!?"
"Why are you gouging your own eyes!?"
"Stop stabbing your eardrums! Scary man!"
"It isn't me!"
"I can't! I can't control my own body!"
"That damn Fairy Queen"
"I can only think of her!"
"Those with high mirage mana resistance! Come and heal them!"
"Of course!"
""Not so fast!!"" [Lara, Nara]
And using the very same sea of mirages, Lara and Nara added their own spell, one where they saw multiple times when they're helping the Vampires and Giants escaping the grasp of the Hunter Devil
""Mirage magic: Mirage mirror"" [Lara, Nara]
"A spell from the mirage wolves. Pretty impressive" [Titania]
"That's my twin homunculi for you!" [Calypso]
Clone of Lara and Nara start striking down the beastman one by one, decapitating them by using their scythes. One clone by itself is deadly, and with how many clones there are, it's easy to see how they're a one man army
"Elephant stomp!"
"Hyena sandstorm"
"Thunder hawk!"
The Beastman start consuming more of their stones, with some becoming more and more like a monster. A monster with intellect that is. Again, the line between beastman and beast is becoming thinner, or they're already gone, mixing once they consume the stone. Still
"Their speeches. It isn't like Kadeus" [Charlotte]
"Now that you mentioned it" [Kara]
"True enough. They manage to get the power of the portal stone from before and reduce the side effect significantly" [Rean]
Unlike Kadeus, or even the half giant Zin for that matter, where they have to stop their sentences after every 1-3 words, the one consuming these stone does not show any sign of it. Even worse for us, I can't seem to catch any sign of a deterioration of the brain function, be it from speeches to other neurological manifestation
"Elephant charge!"
"Fire armour!"
"Use my magic as well! Thunder run"
"DODGE!" [Zerolith]
The big elephant beastman (almost as big as your typical elephant, if not larger), charge at us at such frightening speed. Getting hit by it must feel like getting hit by our camper van golem charging at full speed.
"We are not done yet!"
"Crocodile spin!"
"Mantis scythe"
"Spider web of stun!"
Their overwhelming advantages in number start to prevail. We can keep going strong maybe for another 30 minutes to an hour, but if we didn't finish it any time sooner, they will take this opportunity to heal their injured friend and will overwhelm us more and more
"Raging water ship! Army of marine golem!" [Charlotte]
"Clay army!" [Karon]
Karon and I think of the same thing. This strategy prove effective when we fought against the devil at the New Headquarters, so here's hoping to get another fruitful results
"Charge!"
"Destroy those pesky golems!"
"We can just launch a suicidal attack one by one!"
"That will teach those heroes some valuable lesson of not disrespecting us from the True Beastman Group"
"Do you really think it is that easy!" [Titania]
Titania sea of mirages slowly start forming mirages warrior, and start helping our golem and puppet as well. Plus
"Heroes!"
"By the order of Queen Rinz! We have arrive!"
The army of Kiserre come to aid us all
With the help from the army as well as some volunteering adventures, their advantages in number start to diminish, however, their morale didn't wither away. I'm impressed. Maybe because some of them already determine to launch a suicidal attack that will gain them the upper hand that they will charge through no matter what happens. Pretty heroic, should they didn't target my elder sister lives that is
"This is!" [Karon]
"What's the matter, Karon?" [Charlotte]
And my question is answer by detecting a spike of magic
"Farhah!" [Charlotte]
