On the square, Kurumi was stunned to see the surging soldiers.
"Hmph! You actually dare to call for backup."
Kurumi sneered, her momentum rising, sweeping through the surroundings like a tide.
The seven fox tails behind her grew explosively against the wind, instantly obscuring half the sky.
Invisible pressure made the soldiers' footsteps sluggish and movement difficult, as if they were in a quagmire.
"What's going on?"
The noble felt his breathing become more rapid, his legs trembling, unable to resist the urge to kneel.
Meanwhile, a massive, majestic aura crushed him, leaving him unable to move.
He looked up and was instantly scared out of his wits.
A giant golden fox floated in mid-air, its body emitting a terrifyingly majestic aura.
"Beastman? Magic beast? Demon!!!"
The noble cried out in alarm.
"What is that?!"
"Is it a Youkai!?"
"What a terrifying aura!"
People discussed one after another, their hearts beating faster and blood boiling; some weak ones even fainted.
The Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox only exists in the Land of Demons and is a high-level Holy Demonic Spirit known as an Earth Spirit Beast.
These people naturally hadn't seen a Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox like Kurumi, but they knew for sure it wasn't human.
"Where are the mages? Hurry and kill her for me!"
The noble's face turned pale as he shouted.
But the mages behind him were already scared witless; none were willing to step forward to die, instead fleeing one after another.
Kurumi narrowed her eyes, looking at the fleeing mages with annoyance.
She hated it most when people ran away just as she was about to show off her divine power.
It was a rare chance to manifest her divinity before others, and they were being so uncooperative.
"Shine~"
Kurumi's seven fluffy tails swung violently, wild winds scattered, the ground shook, and dust flew.
A giant fireball fell from the sky, smashing heavily onto the ground, turning the area within hundreds of meters into scorched earth.
The mages who had only run halfway were turned to ashes.
"Ah..."
The noble was stunned, collapsing limply on the ground, his crotch wet; he had actually peed himself.
Kurumi nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at the others.
The remaining people were already dumbfounded with fear.
This kind of powerful strength was beyond their imagination; it was impossible to win.
"Please spare our lives!"
"Don't, don't kill me!"
"Whether you want money or women, I'll give them all to you!"
These people dropped their weapons one by one, kneeling on the ground to beg for mercy.
"Hmph!"
Kurumi gave a light snort, then transformed back into her little loli form.
Coming before the shivering noble, Kurumi picked him up.
"Hey, let me ask you, which way to the Magic Dynasty?"
"Huh?"
The noble blinked his eyes in confusion.
"Hmm?"
Kurumi's brow furrowed, her little mouth pouted, showing a fierce expression.
"I'm asking you, did you hear me?"
"I heard you, I heard you!"
"That, south, just keep going south and you'll get there..."
The noble swallowed his saliva and answered cautiously.
"Oh, south."
Kurumi lowered her head, seemingly pondering.
Then she tossed the man onto the ground and said to Ramiris behind her, "See, didn't I just find out? I can send you back soon."
"I hope so, sigh~~"
Ramiris sighed, believing Kurumi for the time being.
Anyway, things probably couldn't get worse than they are now.
After speaking, the two prepared to leave the place and continue their journey.
"Wait, wait a moment!"
Just then, the commoner man who had been kicked away earlier ran over and fell to his knees with a thud.
"lord fox god, please save my child!"
The commoner man cried out his grievances with a face full of tears.
"lord fox god?"
Kurumi tilted her head and looked at him in confusion, seemingly unable to grasp the situation.
The next moment, the commoners in the square all began to bow down to Kurumi.
"Please, lord fox god, save our children."
"lord fox god is compassionate, please save my child."
"I beg lord fox god to save my wife."
The commoners in the square kept kowtowing and pleading.
"Uh..."
Kurumi stood there with a bewildered face, completely unable to understand the situation. What on earth was this?
Are these people crazy?
What are they doing?
"Hey, hey, what are you all doing?"
Kurumi quickly tried to stop their actions.
Someone suddenly shouted, "The Fox God has descended to the world to save all living beings!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the square began to shout along, the momentum practically piercing the sky.
"Holy crap..."
Kurumi's beautiful eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
"Ramiris, what's the situation now?"
Kurumi turned to ask Ramiris beside her.
"This..."
"This is the ignorant masses..."
Ramiris shook her head helplessly and gave a profound remark.
Although Kurumi didn't understand, she was affected by the surging atmosphere on-site and couldn't help but be carried away.
"Could this be the result of manifesting divinity before others..."
"It seems pretty good!"
For some reason, Kurumi liked this feeling of being respected and worshipped.
Signs of this had already appeared during the parade ceremony in Nazarick.
She spread her arms, striking a proud pose, allowing the people around her to worship.
"Long live lord fox god! xN"
The surrounding crowd shouted excitedly.
"Well, ignorant mortals, I am the Fox God who has come to save all living beings. What do you need me to do?"
Kurumi put on a high-and-mighty look, scanning the crowd below disdainfully.
The commoners immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed respectfully:
"We beg lord fox god to save us."
"&（￥@#...!#&...!"
Everyone babbled a lot, and the summary was that the tyranny of the Falmuth Kingdom was so cruel that it left them with no way to survive.
Endless taxes plus forced conscription had caused everyone's families to be broken and destroyed.
"Then how do you want me to help you?"
Kurumi raised her eyebrows and spoke with a proud face.
"lord fox god, don't listen to these people's nonsense, you must not be fooled by them!"
At this moment, the noble suddenly spoke loudly.
"lord fox god, these people are not to be trusted at all; they are all lowly commoners. You must not listen to their inflammatory talk."
He knew very well that if these ants found a backer, they would definitely not let him go.
As a result, the man who had been kicked away earlier seemed to have found his pillar of support. No longer afraid of the noble who oppressed them, he immediately jumped up.
"Everyone, we now have the protection of lord fox god, we don't need to fear those demons!"
"Let's go together, slaughter him, and avenge our relatives!"
"Kill them!!"
These ordinary civilians erupted in an instant.
The hatred accumulated in their hearts burst out in a flash, making them forget their fear.
They picked up the weapons dropped on the ground by the soldiers and lunged at the noble.
The noble's eyes widened in terror.
"Ah! You bastards, you lowly commoners, stop this at once!"
The noble screamed in terror, but no one listened to him.
In the end, this noble met a tragic death amidst a chaotic flurry of blades.
