New Hobby…
Although it certainly looked like he was getting ordered around, Edrick would be lying if he said that he wasn’t interested in what the realm–Eltysia–Had to offer to him. There was something about those four perfectly preserved skeletal remains that the scion found to be most alluring… Not to mention the realm herself.
He had not presumed that the realm would be an entity with a physical body, but now that he knew that it was the case… He definitely wanted to put a crest on her. Doing that would definitely cement the whole concept of ownership over Eltysia once he achieved this.
Anoteros could not be reckless about it, though–That woman was pretty much a god here. This entire realm was literally her domain, an extension of her, even. Thus, doing what she wanted seemed like the best course of action at the moment.
This way, he might be able to get closer to her and get the occasion to mark her.
Regardless, the first objective she had asked of him was to deal with the albino Laughing Fox. That beast was the one responsible for the presence of Flame-Maw Bears infested with Blood-Gorged Moss and Blood-Drunk Grass. It was clearly a smart one, but being clever was part of the basics of its kind.
One needed a higher form of intelligence to discern and enjoy the finer details of causing death and misery to others…
To be frank, Edrick had been desiring to get himself a Laughing Fox as one of his bestial companions. They just seemed like a good fit for him... Not to mention that Laughing Foxes had very useful abilities. Also, it was pretty much confirmed that they were a species that was naturally capable of evolving into a great form.
‘Basic’ Laughing Foxes could already manipulate other beasts to throw themselves into a fight to the death against their better judgment, overriding their feral instincts with apparent ease. Meanwhile, if Edrick was not mistaken about that one time back then, the evolved variant could control the mind of even human cultivators.
This insidious ability… The noble already knew of at least one way to use it…
In any case, since he didn’t have much else to do, he headed for the area the Red Guardian had mentioned previously.
Edrick eventually found himself near a rocky cliff, overlooking a rather small area nestled amidst the mountainous ring.
Trees were to be found on the outskirts of the area, but the middle portion, as well as the area opposite the mountain wall from Edrick, was entirely devoid of trees, being a plain with large protruding boulders instead.
The forest area was filled with caverns formed directly in the ground, and so were the mountainous edges… However, one cavern was significantly larger than the rest, being situated on the rugged surface right across from the noble.
Morphing his face into that of a sasquatch, he made use of their superior sense of smell to confirm his suspicions…
It seemed like the albino also understood the concept of luxury, having chosen the largest and most prominent cave to settle down in.
As long as this fox was not an evolved one, as long as Edrick could get his hands on it, he was guaranteed to win the fight. Laughing Foxes were smart enough to understand that they couldn’t do much with the body of what was pretty much a regular fox, though.
The cavern’s mouth and surroundings were crawling with Flame-Maw Bears. They all seemed to have only recently been infested by the blood-sucking growths, and despite the absurd levels of pain they should be in, they were calmly standing guard.
They were under the albino’s control.
‘Now… If I start slaughtering its ursine guards, my prey will just run away. Laughing Foxes never confront their enemies head-on. Even when evolved, they seemingly prefer to let the dirty work be done by others’
To catch the albino, Anoteros would need to sneak into the cave and confront it directly. It wouldn’t be great if it called all of its guards to help, but Edrick was confident he could handle a bunch of Flame-Maw Bears fairly easily as long as he transformed.
With a plan in mind, the scion waited for it to be early in the morning–While it was still dark–To make his move.

Whilst Edrick was scheming against a beast, the Red Guardian found himself pensive and confused as he sat in the woods.
He had been overtaken by an infernal lust during his last fun session, and had partaken in something he had never believed to be into–He had clearly been wrong. He had pounded the twink elf for nearly a whole hour, unloading his life-giving juice several times within that timeframe.
It was undeniable that the protector had enjoyed every second of it. It did not make much sense to him, however. Why would he enjoy mating with a male? All the creatures that he knew only had males mating with females in order to produce offspring, so as to perpetuate the species.
…Perhaps it wasn’t actually that strange for him, though. He was a unique being who did not reproduce at all, after all… So maybe he had been viewing things from the wrong perspective and should just allow his libidinous instincts to guide him.
As he was thinking, he felt the nearby presence of six individuals–Underwood Elves on the hunt. They were stealthy and invisible, but the Red Guardian could see right through it all. As soon as he sensed them, he felt his fifth limb twitch and push upward against the fabric of his clothes.
‘Mmh…’
He soon rose as his club did not stop growing harder. He followed the group of six from a distance, waiting until they marked a pause and undid their invisibility. They were taking a break. Clearly, they weren’t experienced hunters just yet and were not used to keeping their invisibility up while moving about and focusing on other things at the same time.
The Blutgar stepped out from behind the trees, leaving the elves stunned.
“G-Guardian, it is an honour to-”
The orcish protector pulled off his beast pelt clothing, revealing his fully erect crimson rod.
He breathed heavily before speaking in a deep tone.
“I would like you six to offer your assistance in regards to this”
The Underwood Elves were momentarily dazed, staring at the impressively long tool.
“O-Of course…”
“Then take off your clothes”
The six hunters–All males–Did as they were told without hesitation. They soon revealed their soft, effeminate bodies to the more than two meters tall beast of a man. Their prongs were already standing straight in arousal.
With a grunt, the realm defender commanded them to get to work…
