Chapter 40: The Kitsune Defense Force

"You can do that?" I asked her.

"Yes. They are my servants and I can deploy them for you. They have different abilities and they are good at combat since they have several centuries of training already. You can't underestimate them."

"Then, send me help that can counter these incoming horde of enemies. What should I do?"

"You just need to sit back and relax master. It's going to be easy anyway. Just wait for the big boss to appear and defeat the guy. From the looks of his frame, he is a dangerous individual. Killing him is a priority. I suggest you use the remaining power of your Skull Knuckles for the day. That would solve our problem with this enemy. It is also a chance to disrupt order to the enemies' morale. Without the leader, they will go on panic mode and they will be easy to wipe out."

I was surprised at what Inari said. She has better insight on the battle plan than me as I rubbed my chin. "Looks like you know lots of tactics in war."

"I am a goddess who has seen countless wars and supported a few warriors in the past. It's not a problem for me to give out simple war tactics for us to use in this situation. Why, do you find a flaw in it, master?"

"Ha, actually, its a much better plan than what I am thinking about and I think we should stick with your plan then."

In the distance, we can already hear the thud of footsteps done by the monsters approaching our location. Above us are vulture-like monsters that seemed to have no skin and feathers are flying and circling around which means that is one of their "eyes". Without any hesitation, I raise my index finger and focus the mana flow of the gloves in my hands to produce flames on the tip. And as expected, with the flexibility of the flames produced by the Burning Gloves, I managed to create a "bullet" flame on my fingertips. Controlling the flame like a projectile, I aimed at the flying bird that doesn't look like a bird to me. Lock-on, ready, aim, fire!

BOOM!

I didn't control the force of the "bullet's" power and before I knew it, a strong recoil created a wave in the air as the "bullet" shot up straight to the air. Yuri and her brother were startled by the sound that they duck and covered their ears reflexively. Although I didn't manage to control the power and trajectory of the flame, it didn't fail me as the bird was immediately shot. The flames didn't spare a single one of the bird and incinerated the bird to ashes. The two did not expect me to do that attack because I suddenly shot it without informing them.

"What was that?" the incubus asked as he looked over the sky.

"From the looks of it, they are already spying on us in the sky. Since we are much more on alert on the ground, we didn't really pay attention to our surroundings. By destroying their eye on us, we can cut off a bit of their visibility on us."

"I didn't notice that the enemy is already spying on us. F*ck, those cunning bastards," the incubus groaned as he clenches his fist.

"Do you have any plan, Master?" Yuri asked.

"Of course but I need your brother to cooperate. He needs to sign a familiar contract with me so that we can pull this off."

Before her brother can agree, Yuri pulled the arm of her brother and cut the blood on their thumb to bleed out and extract the blood of her brother.

"Wha! What are you doing Yuri?!"

"I am allowing you to form a contract with my master. With him as your master, your power will get real strong to defeat the enemies that are threatening us!"

"But I heard that humans only can create a contract once in their life and they cannot form another one!" the succubus was hesitant.

"Don't worry! Master here might look like a dunce and delinquent guy but he is strong and can make us strong just by supplying us with mana! Also, he can create multiple contracts!"

The incubus became confused and he waved his hands. "This is the first time I heard about this."

"Of course! Master, form now the contract!"

The incubus did not get to react when I bit my thumb and created the magic seal on the incubus's forehead.

"SEAL!" With a clap, the seal finalized and our connection immediately built up to our consciousness and the mana stream that allows us to transfer mana to each other.

As soon as the seal was formed, Yuri jumps in joy but she quickly calmed down. "How are you feeling brother?"

"It felt weird at first but it is now getting better. And I never expected someone can create a contract multiple times. However, is this really a good solution to fight off the orcs and ogres? Sure we might have received a power-up but that doesn't mean that we have already the advantage. The enemies are still overwhelming in number! We are only three people and I bet that they are bringing their leader with them!"

"Oh? Who said that we only have three guys? Inari, can I call out the servants of yours?" I asked.

"Sure Master!" Inari said in my consciousness before doing something.

In just a few seconds, countless magic circles appeared out of the ground and many foxes started to materialize out. One of the foxes that have a scarf-like fur on his neck approached me and started speaking. " I am Kon! One of the kitsune leaders of the Kitsune defense force that serves as servants of Lady Kitsune! Since you are the master, we are under your command!"
