Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Now, how should I go about handling you?" Nessa sighed as she noticed a few of the chiefess Lizardmen assisting the swamp dwellers, and she smiled before shrinking back to her normal fox size and approaching them.

"Hello," She said, and the Lizardmen jumped when they noticed a small fox by their feet, and she chuckled.

"L- Lady Nessa," One of them said and Riki and the others heard then looked at Nessa and smiled.

"You are back, did everything go well?" Dalia asked as she approached Nessa who jumped up on her shoulder.

"Yeah, it went better than expected, but the beast I fought is smaller and weaker than this one, this one is stronger, and it's sharing its powers with the leader of the Orcs," Nessa responded, and Riki glanced at her after hearing that.

"Then that's going to be a problem, if we defeat the leader of the Orcs and that beast, maybe the other Orcs will stop, we cannot focus on all of them at once," Riki said and Nessa looked at him then sighed.

"You are right, we can't, you guys focus on the Orcs and help me with the their leader, but leave the beast to me, I will handle it alone," Nessa replied and Riki's eyes narrowed.

"Are you sure?" Riki asked.

"Are you sure you don't want to think about this a bit more?" Yanka asked and Nessa chuckled.

"I am sure, I will handle that one alone, split up and help as much as you can," She responded and they bowed their heads with a smile.

"As you wish, lady Nessa," They replied before splitting up and taking on a bunch of Orcs on their own, causing some damage to the land but nothing that couldn't be repaired in a few days.

'Wow, soon enough they will be worth an entire army, they're getting stronger at a rapid pace and that's partly because of tough training,' Nessa thought  while looking at them when she sensed someone looking at them. She looked around but saw nothing.

"Am I hallucinating?" Nessa wondered.

[No, you are not; someone or something is watching all of you; I suggest you don't show your true form in this fight; it's best if they continue to think of you as a male and monster.]

"You are correct, having them believe that will benefit me in more ways than one; they just don't realize it yet; can you tell where we are being watched from?" Nessa inquired.

[Yes, one minute, please.]

[Master, you are all being watched from above, but it is not the same person who was seen before, the one in black, you and I both know that presence, and that person is nowhere near here.]

"I see, then where exactly is this person? Above me?" Nessa asked.

[Yes, direct above you, don't worry, that person is not powerful.]

"Thank you, and I'll take it from here," Nessa said.

[Like I mentioned many times before, there is no need to thank me but, you are welcome, master.]

Nessa then looked up and saw someone levitating behind the clouds, and she sighed as her eyes glowed gold and she grew in height and size, attracting the attention of the others, and they smiled as the whip appeared in her paw.

She lifted it up then flung it in the air and it wrapped around the person feet and Nessa pulled the whip downwards, slamming the person into the ground and finally the leader of the Orcs as well as the beast flinched, and the beast began growling as the whip disappeared.

The person that she slammed down, stood up and the leader of the Orc approached him while the beast fixed its gaze on Nessa and her eyes narrowed while looking at them and the other Orcs stopped fighting as well as Nessa's people.

"So you are the leader of the monster nation?" The person who asked was a guy wearing a cat mask, and Nessa sighed.

"Do you have an issue with that?" She asked in a heavy tone and Riki chuckled.

"Yes, you and your kind is in our way, we came peacefully once, we will not do that again, your nation will be burned to the ground," He responded and Nessa chuckled.

"Is that so?

I'd like to see you try, since you don't care who you kill, you're not leaving here alive, and I'll kill you along with the leader of the Orcs and that pet of yours, the other one has already been defeated, and the Orcs that were with him, joined this set only a short time ago, I saw with my own eyes, I'll kill you all if I have to," She said as the others looked at her, her eyes turned bright red.

"Do you believe she'll actually kill them?" Vill inquired, and Zilrud sighed as he looked at her.

"Even if she does," Zilrud replied, "I don't think that will be a problem; it's not like they care who they kill or not." Vill smiled and sighed.

'I am getting sleepy, I haven't slept for an entire day now, but that doesn't matter,' Nessa thought as the guy before her sighed.

"Since you're unwilling to back down, how about we strike a deal?" The guy asked.

"I am listening," Nessa responded.

"Good, at least you are a bit reasonable, guy to guy, we desire a lot of things, how about you join hands with us and we give you whatever you want, whether it is power, money, girls, you just name it, we need to claim this land and you can still have your nation, except you will be working under someone, that is more than just reasonable, so how about it? Is that a decent deal for you?

Will you take it?" She exhaled deeply as she looked at Riki and the others who smiled at her.

"You call that a decent deal? Are you bloody crazy? No, I refuse, that is not a good enough deal for me, I am selfish when it comes to this, I am not going to share with you guys or work under anyone," She responded as her body glowed gold and the guy sighed.
