Ascension of the Monster Queen

Chapter 32: A familiar ogre among the bunch

After looking a the cave for a while, Ness exhaled deeply.

"Well, there's no need for me to investigate the cave, I sse no life force here, we should go and I'll lock the door, people will only come here with my permission," Nessa said as she exited the cave with the wolf and closed the door, which was now light and felt like a normal door, rather than the way she first discovered it.

"Let's go back, Akio," She suggested.

"All right," He replied, and they both started walking back to town.

While heading back to the town, they heard a crash and the wolves howling.

"I'd like to ignore that, but I can't, I hope we don't run into a bunch I don't like and who would cause me problems," Nessa said as they rushed off towards the sound, where Aion collided with her and she grabbed onto him.

"Are you all right?" She asked wh she saw his arm bleeding and he grinned.

"Yeah, I'm fine," He replied as Zietaz approached, panting, and Nessa looked at him.

"My lady, they seem to have a bit of a misunderstanding," Zietaz said as Nessa looked at the trees that began to shake and felt the g beath their feet vibrate.

"What the hell is going on here?" She asked after seeing Aion's frids hurt and Akio started growling in anger.

"Are you their leader?" A young man asked in a cold tone, and Nessa's eyes wided, staring at him.

"You-" She said as she stood up and Aion looked at her.

[He is an ogre.]

"You are an ogre," Nessa said, and he looked at her with rage in his eyes.

"Yes, I am; are you the one who slaves these monsters? Are you the one who wrecked our homes?" He inquired.

"Hey, don't look at me like that; if you don't know for sure, you have no right to attack those who are weaker than you; don't get on my nerves; I have slaved no one nor destroyed any homes," She responded and he chuckled, th looked at Akio, and Isamu jumped in front of Nessa, growling causing the ogre's eyes to wid.

"Are you all right, my lady?" Isamu asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, be careful, they don't know us and he is blaming me for something I didn't do," Nessa sighed as a female ogre approached the male, followed by three more male ogres.

"Oh really? You just confirmed that you were the one who attacked us; we may not have se your face because your back was to us during the fire, but your fox was prest." Nessa lowered her head as the old ogre next to the one who attacked Aion spoke.

"I didn't attack anyone, I've never left this forest before, and I'm not stupid ough to attack an orge," Isamu said, as Nessa approached him and patted his head, and he looked at her.

"I didn't do it, not because I came from a bad leader means I did it," He said and Nessa smiled.

"I know you didn't do it, Isamu, but relax, I'll handle it," She replied.

"You heard him, he wasn't there, you can't blame someone or something unless you have solid proof," Nessa said as the old muscular ogre rushed towards her and Akio hit him into a tree with his tail before he could touch her th he got back up, looking like a raging bull.

"Do not approach our master," Akio warned.

"No one has ever had a direwolf, goblin, or these foxes by their side before, and we have every reason to blame you because this was the fox we saw there," The one who attacked Aion said and Nessa scoffed.

"I have no reason to list to you guys, don't come into my territory and blame us, it must have be a differt fox and I am saying this one last time, I didn't attack anyone's home, I suggest you leave or I will hurt you for what you did them and I am not joking right now," Nessa warned as another ogre rushed to attack her and her eyes glowed red.

The ogre moved so fast that it was hard to see him but yet she did.

'He is swift,' She thought.

"I warned you," She said before he came to a halt and the ogres gasped as they saw him floating in the air with red threads wrapped a his body.

"I didn't attack anyone," She said as she flung him towards his mates, but the first ogre dodged him and the one she flung regained his balance and landed on his feet.

'They are skilled, I can tell by the way they move, that old man with the sword appears to be a samurai, similar to Dalia, the very first ogre I met wh I came into this world, she was skilled like them, I wonder if they are her family she lost?' Nessa wondered.

"I will kill you," Aion's attacker said as he approached Nessa and the g began to vibrate more and they all turned to look at the trees.

"What other monsters do you have by your side?" The same ogre asked her.

"Shut up," She responded, his brows twitched and he gnashed his teeth.

"Don't talk to me like that; I'm not one of your servants." He yelled, and she began blowing whistles, completely ignoring him and he clched his fists, feeling ev angrier.

"Help!" Someone yelled, and Nessa jumped as she noticed a familiar female ogre running towards them with her right arm bandaged.

"Dalia..." She mumbled wh she noticed a huge crab monster chasing her and they all gasped.

"My lady," Aion called out and the angry young ogre's eyes wided.

'So they know Dalia,' Nessa thought as the young ogre rushed towards Dalia, who stood up, but the giant crab was closing in on her.

"Dalia," The next female ogre said and Nessa sighed.

"Watch out," Nessa said, shoving the young angry ogre with whom she was arguing aside, and Dalia glanced at her as Nessa rushed past her, and Nessa smiled at her, causing Dalia's eyes to wid.
