[Alysha's Pov]

I was laughing like a madman when I confirmed that the noble's faction had indeed won. I am now considered an SSS-rank threat and am being hunted by the military. I think my bounty had increased to about 100.000 gold coins, which is quite a bit.

Even the adventurer's guild has now regarded me as a threat. So, I now essentially have no allies... Oh, I actually do have an ally! Asu! I'm sorry for forgetting about you! I love you too don't worry... I won't let them touch you!

It's now been three days since I was regarded as a threat. Why didn't I attack the city? Well, I currently have a reeeaaally~ nasty plan to try out. How do I know what is happening? Well, I've interrogated some random adventurers that came and tried to kill me. Why are low-level adventurers hunting SSS-rank threats? I have no idea. I guess they're just really dumb.

What plan is it you say? Well~ It's actually not that compicated. I plan on becoming the king of the non-intelligent races, which the name itself will have to be changed. I will essentially be the king of monsters. Why not queen of monsters? Well, it sounds dumb.

I'm currently searching for some suitable subjects. I've so far come across only a couple of wolf packs, which I defeated but didn't kill. I then spoke to them telephatically, making it possible for them to understand me. 

They agreed to serve me since I am indeed strong, and they wanted revenge for all the times the humans hunted them. I've so far got 50 wolves under my belt, and my only order to them for now is to search for more subjects. 

I've also been practicing my moon magic intensively. I've been developing many types of attacks, but I've also been refining my current ones. My current strongest attack is definetly 'Moon Impact'. I've also found out that I can create pocket dimensions inside my moon mist, and I practiced my attacks there. 'Moon Impact' can vary in size from 50 meters in diameter to 300. It's quite scary how strong it is.

The wolves were quite suprised when I ripped a human adventurer in two and ate his heart. They were pretty happy though about it. I guess they expected me to not consider humans as food? They never told me what they were truly thinking. 

After the fifth day, my wolves came back and along with them were several new wolves that I don't recognize. Seems like they succeded in finding out new subjects. Time to tell them about my plans I guess.

{Greetings, Ruler. We found these wolf packs and rescued them from some adventurers. We told them about our alligiance to you and your plans. They've agreed to meet you and will decide afterwards.} Oh, how nice of you. I taught all my wolves how to use telepathy, so now we can communicate smoothly. They apparently formed a sort of social hierarchy under me, where they consider me their absolute ruler. How nice of them...

{Thanks, I'll go meet them in that case} I say and leasurely stroll towards them. The wolves all look at me suprised. I guess they didn't expect a humanoid to be these wolves' ruler.

{Hello there. I'm Alysha Bloodseeker. I've been told that you guys wanted to meet me before deciding? Well, here I am. If you want to know the details of the plan ask the ex-alpha. He's more of a leader then me. I'm just here to destroy a kingdom. If you want to challange us though, I'll personally rip you to pieces." I say to all the new wolves telepathically. They all look at me in shock so I say again {Ask one of the wolves to teach you telepathy. If you need me for anything, I'll be nearby so just ask around.} 

I leave the shocked wolves and go back to my tree. Asu comes down from it and settles around me. He's grown tremendously over the past days. He's now 2 meters long and 30cm wide. He's even more of a glutton then me, which is saying a lot. I taught him to speak telepathically, and he can even hold a conversation without trouble. He says that his intelligence comes from something called Inherited Memories, which are instincts and basic knowledge of the world. It's quite useful.

{Mom, you should be more serious about this. You need to be the imagine of a sovreign, not a lazy push-work-onto-others...} He's also something like my personal advisor. He's really smart too, probably more so then me. 

{I know Asu. It's just that it's not like they're all that relevant in our plans. If they want protection I can give it to them, if they don't then they don't. I don't really care about them, who I care about are the stronger beasts that roam this forest. They are the ones I'm aiming to get under my tails.} I say as I pat his head. He nods at me and says

{Well, I'll go organize the wolves. See you later mom!} He says and slithers away. All the wolves know he's something like my son, so his words have as much authority as mine. He's such a nice kid too, always worrying about his mom... I'm really proud of him!

Thinking such things, I use my mist to make a reflection of about 200 steaks. I discovered that I can even make food using my mist. Once they're eaten, they essentially become part of the animal/person who eats them, but I lose control of them, essentially making free food. 

{Whoever's hungry can come and eat these~. Only for my subjects though~.} I say in a playful voice through telepathy to all the wolves present. They all launch themselves on the food, so I say {I suppose I got me some new subjects~}. 

I simply sit down next to a tree and sleep for the next five or so hours, when the ex-alpha comes to me and says {Ruler, there is a group of about 10 adventurers. They seem quite strong and I think they know we're racking up members. What should we do?} I think for a bit and then say {Let's use them as a show of force to our new members. I'll personally go deal with them} The ex-alpha was shocked for a second before he quickly said {T-there's no need for Ruler to move herself, we can deal with them!} I shake my head. How considerate he is. I get up and say {Nah. I wanna do something too after all. Where are the snacks?} He lowers his head in a bow and says {Follow me}. I do, and soon enough we arrive at a small clearing.

{The adventurers should pass by her in a little bit. I'll tell the other wolves to come watch Ruler's glory.} I nod and sit down. He leaves to call his friends, so I'm alone for a second. I then have an idea and wistle loudly. This is a sign I made for Asu to come to me whenever I do it. He quickly arrives, and I tell him that we're going to have a fight, and that he gets a chance at fighting too. He was quite excited.

The adventurers arrive after a bit, and when they see me waving a hand at them, they all take out their weapons.

Their leader goes forward and says outloud for me to hear "'Bloody Cat', we've been searching for you. We're here to take revenge for our fellow brothers, so prepare yourself!" How dumb. He just wants to impress his friends. I wave him away while saying "Yes, Yes. A group of newbies decided that SSS-rank threats are jokes to them and thinks life's easy and all. Asu, kill them all." 

Asu quickly shot forward from his position, which they of course didn't notice, and bit the leader in the torso. He quickly retreated after that, leaving the leader falling down, screaming. His teammates, startled, all rush at Asu. 

He skillfully bites and retreats, leaving large amounts of deadly poison in them each time he bites. After a while, they're all on the ground, paralyzed and dying.

{Hey guys! You can have 5 of them, me and Asu get the other five to eat. How does that sound?} I say to the wolves watching from the bushes. They all come out and get in columns behind 3 leaders. I think they said something about social rankings are important for wolves...? I'm not sure. 

I pick out the leader and 4 other strong ones, and throw the rest at the wolves, who quickly dismember them and eat them with gusto. As for me, I simply rip out their hearts and give the rest to Asu, who swiftly globs them down. It's funny seeing how his body stretches and becomes so large after he eats. Too bad it takes him a while to digest though.

I spend the rest of the day sleeping and training occasionally, while Asu and the wolf horde keeps recruiting members. Apparently, Asu has become something akin to my rappresentative and probably holds more influence on the horde then I do. Not that I mind though, he can become their king for all I care. I just want to destroy a couple of kingdoms.

Unknown to me, Asu actually felt like he was doing too little for me, and wanted to make me their absolute ruler. I only learned of this untill much later on though.

After another week, we had 500 wolves divided into 5 groups of 100 each, and each had it's own branches and hierarchy. They all obeyed me though, and each tried hard to outdo each other. They kind of resembled children wanting to impress their parents, and it was quite funny seeing how they argued with each other and bragged when they recruited more members.

I produced a couple hundred carcasses of large bears for the wolves to eat, so that they could focus on recruiting. They were all quite grateful when I gave the meat to them. 

The fourteenth day after being made a criminal, Asu came to me with a pretty nice report.

{Mom, the wolves have found a potential magical beast. It's a Fire Hawk, and it seems really strong. They saw it flying around and they stalked it until it's nest near a hill. We can go and try to recruit him.} The difference between beasts and magical beasts is quite big. Magical beasts are as the name suggest, capable of minor feats of magic and are often stronger then normal beasts. They also can live some really long lives, like that snake did. 

{How nice. I guess I'll go and talk to him. He's just what we need, maybe he can become a general or something? I'm not sure how military ranks work... Eh. Asu, tell the wolves to keep doing what they're doing. I'll go alone and talk to him.} Asu nodded and left after telling me the hawk's location. Time to go bird hunting!

I arrived at the bird's nest after thirty minutes of tree-hopping. I climbed up to the peak of a tree and observed the hawk.

It's name was quite appropriate. It had fire-red feathers all over it's body. It was two meters tall and it's wingspan must have been at least 8 meters in diameter. 

It was currently resting in it's nest. Unlike normal bird, the nest was on the ground. I guess he thinks nobody can challange him? Normally he'd be right, but you never know when adventurers come. Maybe I should tell him after he becomes mine?

I jump down from the tree and approach him. He raises his head and looks at me. He screeches at me but doesn't move. I wonder, do you consider me this small of a threat? Size doesn't always mean everything you know?

{Hello birdie! I'm the ruler of this forest and I'm currently planning to destroy the human kingdom. I'm here to make you mine, so please come with me or I'll have to force you too and trust me, you'd much rather obey me right now~} I say with a tone that says that I accept no no's.

He stops screaching and says telepathically {Oh? A demon who knows telepathy? How fun. You? The ruler of the forest? Hah, don't make me laugh! It's true the old king is nowhere to be found, but that doesn't make you the king, girlie.} I giggle a bit before starting to laugh maniacally, I then say

{Oh? That tasty tiger you mean? Ah, yes! I personally ripped it apart some months ago. It was quite the tasty treat. Ah, sorry, I don't feel like talking with someone who won't believe me, so tell me, do you want to be ripped apart or will you obey me? You have five seconds to answer, and if you say anything that is not an "I obey" then I'll pluck every single feather off of you, then carry you back to our base. I'm then going to make you the general of my little army~} 

The bird's beak was hanging open, but laughed and said {Heh, just try it! You're ne...} Before he could finish, I was already in front of him and wrapped my tails around him, blocking him from moving. I can now make them extend up to six meters, which is quite impressive. 

As the bird screached in pain, I began plucking off his feathers whilst ignoring his futile struggle. I ignored his curses and after plucking off all of his feathers from his front, turned him around and plucked all the others from his back. I then kept him wrapped up in my tails and ran back to our base after putting the feathers into my bag. 

I had some serious trouble resisting my urges to taste him. They were so strong I couldn't help but say {Y-your really troubling me h-here. I really want to rip you apart and devour you... Argh, resist! Resist the urges!} I said to myself. He was trembling and had stopped struggling.

When I arrived at our base, which by now was almost like a little castle with defenses all around it which the wolves and Asu somehow built, I entered and asked around for where Asu was. Some wolves even asked if he was a snack, and I said he was supposed to be a magical beast, but had decided that agreeing to me plucking all of his feathers was a good idea. That earned him some strange looks.

{Ah! There you are Asu! Look what I found!} I said in a childish voice. He turned from the wolf he was talking to and slithered over to me and said {Mom, did you really just kidnap him like this?} I nodded, and finally released the trembling and humiliated bird. {Ah well, you two talk with each other and maybe become friends or something? I don't know~ Oh, birdie, hurt my son in any way and I'll personally make you enter a hell you never imagined existed~} I said with a 0 degree voice at the end. They both trembled a bit. 

I left them to do their things and went outside to see how everything looked. The wolves didn't exactly have hands, but they still digged trenches and made some simple fortifications in the area. At the center there is a cave where they keep all the wolf pups. Thinking about it, I never saw the cubs! I want to see them!

I spent the rest of the day thus playing around with the cubs and telling them stories. They all learned telepathy pretty fast as it's actually not very hard to do, but has to be taught to you in order to perform it. 

{And so, the stupid noble said to me "I'm going to take revenge for my brother!" and threw himself at me. What do you do when a mean human attacks you?} and all the cubs said excited {Kill him!}. I nodded with a smile. They're all growing up nicely. I did tell them that not every human is bad though. Some are actually nice, but most are mean. You also need a reason to kill someone, like if they're hunting you, then that's a plausible reason.

Finally, after yet another boring week full of me going around beating up monsters who were all just soooo~ weak in my opinion, but according to Asu they were really strong for other people, we were finally ready to preceed onto the next part of our plans!

Time to go destroy some villages~. Hopefully everything goes well, and rumors are going to spread around. Our goal is to get the king to gather up an army, and then destroy it with an ambush. This should throw the kingdom into chaos, and that's really our main goal. 

With our forces consisting of 800 wolves, five Giant Wolves, 100 bears, one King Bear, three Fire Hawks, 5 Sea Hydras, 200 tigers, one Ice Tiger, two Lightning Tigers, an Asu and a demonic cat. 

Shitty backwater villages, here we come~
