Jacob pulled a lot of strings to make sure both Aiden and Mel had a chance of victory. But he still felt it wasn't enough for what was coming.
"As a safety precaution it would seem ill need to employ their assistance. How troublesome…"
Like the fairy folk there were dozens of species all hidden for different reasons.
The fairies kept hidden because they were being hunted. While others tend to keep to themselves.
"It isn't yet time to see the Fairies again. They still need to bolster their forces."
The fairy folk were quite the Masters of Magic and Summoning. But at present they only have enough strength to kill an Orc Army which was most definitely not enough.
'Vampire and Beastman… this is going to be complicated. But if I am to secure ultimate victory then I'll need to simply beat them into submission.'
Unlike the Fairy Folk the Vampires and Beastman are much more aggressive and quite powerful.
But for someone like Jacob they were nothing.
"Lets start with the Beastman since they will be easier to control."
The Beastman race respected strong warriors above all else and despite their brutal nature and aggressive tactics they were quite clever with their hiding spots. But Jacob didn't need to find them since he already knew where to look.
"Hello and Welcome to the Woodborrow Inn! How may I help you?"
"I am looking for room 779 to stay the night of this full moon and will be requesting a hearty meal of Bloody Steaks."
The woman at the front desk quickly changed her attitude from warm to stone cold.
"Who the hell are you? Be quick about it or I'll snap you in half."
Jacob smirked a little which only pissed the woman off even more.
"Why you little shit! I'll wipe that smirk off of your face!"
"Bring it on! And after I beat you to a pulp I'll drag you in front of your boss! Hammer Arm!"
Jacob reinforced his fist enough to kill even a demon if he wasn't careful and collided his fist with her's which destroyed the office in the process.
The attendant couldn't even last a minute before being thrown into the dumpster with nearly her entire body covered in bruises.
'Now I see why the Beastman love to fight.'
It was only for a moment but Jacob felt his heart racing uncontrollably. It was quite the rush of adrenaline to experience first hand.
"Now to deal with the hyenas disguised as lions."
Without thinking Jacob used his strength to drag the women out of the dumpster and through a portal.
Jacob also stepped through and was unsurprised to find a Beastman to be charging at him with claws and ears while having killing intent in their eyes.
"Typical brute behaviour. It's time for the cats to take a nap! Hammer Arm!"
Like before the Beastman didn't last long before they were knocked unconscious, All except one.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Who knew there was a Human that could beat the Thunder Fang Clan's Elite Guard! What is your name Human?"
Jacob got in the fighting stance of Martial Arts Master Huedon Jin like it was his own and smiled.
"Beat me an I'll tell you! Now let's dance Helko Arma!"
Helko was the leader of the Beastman tribe called Thunder Fangs as they were the proud descendants of the Great Nemean Lion. But they hid amongst humans ever since news of their God the Nemean Lion called Leo Nemeaeus was killed by the Demigod known as Hercules.
"How interesting for a human to know my true name! I am the last direct descendant of Leo Nemeaeus and leader of the Thunder Fang!"
Jacob casually parried all of Helko's attacks while countering with devastating blows.
It was the fighting style of Huedon Jin.
'How is this possible?! He's barely dodging my attacks with minimal effort. He must have spent his whole life perfecting these Techniques! It's absurd!'
Helko was watching Humanity closely to avoid detection and to see if their were anyone as powerful as him. But all that effort was wasted by one singular human.
"Is this all the direct Descendant of Leo Nemeaeus can do? I'm disappointed."
"Hardly! Thunder Jaws!"
Jacob sensed lightning magic inbued with Helko's attacks but it was useless as Jacob calmed his mind and clasped his hands together for Master Huedon Jin's Ultimate Technique.
"9th form: Sky Piercing Blade"
Jacob opened his air and shot out a blade of wind compressed beyond measure.
Even Helko didn't feel the blade sever his hands until he felt his mana disperse.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH! MY HANDS!"
Jacob watched Helko roll around on the floor in absolute shock and agony while blood sprayed everywhere.
"Admit defeat right now and I will heal your hands."
Helko was too proud to willingly admit defeat and Jacob knew that as Helko stood tall and attacked him with his jaws wide open.
"You should learn to swallow that pride of yours! 2nd Form: Impenetrable Wall!"
By using the wooden tables or what remained of them Jacob use Huedon Jin's second technique which reformed any material in sight to create an inescapable and indestructible box. Jacob simply shrunk the cage to completely immobilize Helko as he continued trying to bite Jacob like a rabbid dog.
"I already healed your hands so quit being so feral. You lost so I can make one request."
Helko regained a bit of sanity but stil kept trying his hardest to break free despite knowing it would be impossible.
"You bastard! I'll kill you! I'll rip you to shreds! I will just you wait!"
Jacob sighed as he was getting nowhere with Helko but there was another who was much more rational then Helko at present.
"I can sense your Mana so just show yourself already, I have a proposal."
Jacob looked at a hidden veil which quickly disappeared only to reveal a woman with 9 fox tails.
"How observant to see through my veil. Your no regular human are you?"
Jacob released his mana with nothing held back which immediately made Helko cower in fear while the woman was alarmed.
"I wouldn't really say that I am a human at all. Now are you ready to talk?"
If it wasn't for the barrier that Jacob created then almost everyone in the world would be able to sense it.
"V-Very w-well. Please sit and enjoy some tea. I am-"
"The Fox Demigod, Shuji Hatto. I already know who you are and I'm not going to drink tea filled with Succubus blood."
Shuji immediately poured the tea on the floor after being discovered and chuckled nervously.
"S-S-So what is this proposal you wish to talk about?"
Jacob pulled some Black Oil Tea from Melodea and poured two cuts worth.
"My proposal is that you rally all Beastman and step out of the shadows. It's time to stop hiding."
"But the Humans will hunt us down! We-"
Jacob expressed his mana to shut Shuji up before restraining it.
"If you show the humans that the Beastman are an ally rather then an enemy then they will have no choice after tomorrow to form an alliance."
"Huh? Tomorrow? What happens tomorrow?"
"…If you want to stop hiding in the shadows then walk through the door. If not then there's nothing more I can do."
Jacob vanished like he was nothing but smoke while Shuji was left with a mountain sized decision to make as she wanted nothing more then the stop hiding. But she was afraid that the Humans would hunt her kind as they did in ancient times.
"Hopefully the Beastman can overcome their fear and step into the light. But now it's time to deal with those blood suckers."
