While Karl and Johann finished clearing bunkers and repairing tunnels, Dana and the Mythic Black Dragon finished clearing out the frogs from the Beast God Temple.
{That skill of yours, Auto Parry, is absolutely brilliant.} The Black Dragon congratulated Dana as she took a quick break to have a drink.
"Thanks. Mages are underrated as melee combatants, but against these evil frogs, having blade skills really saves the day. But the fact that the Golems get it as well makes the most difference." Dana agreed.
{Would you consider staying on as a teacher here? The children are quite taken with you, and that fighting style would help them immensely when they try to mimic beastkin to blend in with the other species.}
Dana laughed. "As much fun as that sounds, it simply wouldn’t be practical. Being Soul Bonded to Karl means that there is never a slow moment in our lives, and the power level difference is too large for me to show them most of the requisite skills for my fighting style.
Many of them can’t even be used below Royal or Overlord Rank.
However, I have given copies of the best ones to the Blue Dragons, so if you ask nicely, they should be able to send you copies for your students."
That wasn’t the greatest concern. The skills would be obtained by those who needed them now that they were in the hands of the blue dragons. What mattered was that the children were going to cry when the ’pretty fox lady’, as they were calling her, went away.
Even after all these years, it didn’t get easier to listen to young beasts crying when a new friend went away on a work assignment.
"Tian, Opal, leave some of the frogs for the temple residents, they’re hungry too." Dana warned.
Tian gave Dana his best puppy eyes, and the Mythic Black Dragon began to laugh at her.
{He knows the true way of the beasts.} The dragon joked.
"That’s not going to work on me. Don’t you see all these adorable pouting expressions? Even if we’re just mixing in a bit of frog with the regular meals for the young ones, they still worked hard to defend their home today." Dana countered.
Tian relented, and motioned with a paw for the others to come out and start collecting the last of the frogs that hadn’t made it to the Temple’s defensive lines.
That gave everyone plenty of work to do, as most of the youngsters at the Temple didn’t know how to transform yet, so they had to do all the dragging in beast form.
It was actually quite entertaining for Tian to see so many beasts his own size working together to drag frogs ten times their size across the trampled ground to pile them for processing.
"Do you have a lot of frogs?" One of the young clerics asked Tian as he used Earth Manipulation to help them stack bodies.
Tian nodded happily, then yipped. Then he cleared his throat and tried again.
{This is our third set of frogs. We’ve been collecting lots of them for the restaurant.} He tried.
"You don’t speak out loud much, do you? That’s alright. I know that Divine Foxes can speak when they practice. But three invasions worth of frogs is a lot. Are you sure that people won’t get sick of them?" The cleric replied.
