Rebirth Into A Fox From Another World

Chapter 10:Fox Vs Ogre

The Barbarian family.

The rulers of the eastern plains.

The cause of many headaches among the traders from Eastern Empire and other countries bordering the Mystic Region(that is where the Great Mystic Forest is located).

Each is a C rank monster, and could easily devour a negligent adventurer.

However, they were mostly feared as a group.

When gathered, they move like a single entity, capable of organized attack.

And, as a group... they are often evaluated as a B rank.

The eastern plains are located adjacent to Empire's wheat fields.

As it is the Empire's primary food source, it boasts of impenetrable defense.

Thus, although the Barbarian Ogres are rather cunning and possess excellent abilities, breaking through the defense would be exceedingly difficult.

Furthermore, even if they did break through, they would only earn the Empire's wrath, and would probably be hunted into extinction.

The group leader understood that much.

The many decades spent skirmishing with and learning from the ever-expanding empire instilled that ominous premonition in them.

As long as they preyed only upon small-time merchants, the empire wouldn't get serious.

However, if they even once decided to intrude upon the wheat fields, the empire will bare its fangs.

As a result, he had prevented many mishaps from beginning true incidents.

Those were the thoughts that filled the group leader's head.

However, will this not stop his species evolution? So his instincts screamed.

Currently, the group did not lack provision.

If people were attacked and eaten, they were more of a snack.

That's because humans aren't born with a lot of inherent magical energy.

For the Ogres, a meal was nothing more than absorbing magical energy.

Fight strong monsters or slaughter many humans, and evolve into a Disaster class or a S class monster.

But as things stand, neither method seemed very plausible.

The Empire was simply far too strong.

However, should they simply continue attacking merchants, their goal will be but a dream within a dream.

But they have heard of a paradise for powerful monsters-a forest set on blessed lands far in the south.

However, to reach those lands, they'd have to traverse the Mystic Region.

The inhabitants of which aren't anything special.

The many times they hunted those of them that ventured into the plains proved this point.

In that case, why have they not invaded the Region yet?

"White Tiger Azazel"

The existence of that Tiger is the reason.

Even while he was sealed away, the ominous energy he emitted was enough to frighten them into submission.

They were convinced that the Region's inhabitants received Azazel's protection.

And that is why the can live inside that fiendish aura.

Had they believed otherwise, they would surely go mad.
