Chapter 1459: Confrontation!

The moment we left the Elf King resting, we immediately jumped outside of the castle with my Ego Weapons, and the first thing we found was utter chaos! The Elves were transformed once more into horrendous Ghouls, and they were attacking one another! That wasn’t everything bad, darkness was spreading everywhere across the large city, and even the wild animals were turning into monsters of great size and strength… And to make things even worse, there were new monsters walking around and spreading even more of this darkness, they were made completely out of this obscurity, and constantly spread it out everywhere.

This is bad, this is really bad! Should I use Purification again? But the scale of the city is way bigger than that of the castle, can my power even reach this far? And wasn’t there a damn barrier erected by the White Dragon? Did they broke it?

No… wait! They never broke it, they infiltered through the barrier inside of the Elf Queen! I had not thought nor considered this because I immediately saw all the monsters and thought they came from the outside… but nothing has ever come from the outside yet, everything that is here was already in here, and had merely mutated and transformed into monsters.

And the culprit is…!

“Watch out!”

FLAAASH!

Black suddenly flew to my side, floating in front of me and absorbing a part of my Mana, as he began to spin incredibly fast, blocking an enormous beam of darkness from falling over me!

BOOOM!!!

The powerful beam that he just blocked was charged with tons of magic power. Even with my current stats, if that thing had hit me, I would had lost a lot of HP in the process! I thanked Black while I looked towards the culprit behind the attack. I had already guessed she was the one behind everything! She was acting weird when I showed up, and then she got that weird fever later…

And seeing how she was in the same room as the King, it is pretty obvious to tell that she did that thing to the Elf King… yes, it was the Elf Queen!

She was flying in the middle of the sky; her body had slightly changed due to the darkness shaping and mutating her body into that of something similar to a demoness. She grew a pair of large, black-colored bat-like wings from her back, alongside a long pointy tail, spiraling horns at each side of her head, and her eyes were bright red… She still had the childish appearance, but her bright clothes had been shrouded in red and black.

Her Aura was giving off a completely different vibe from before, she had changed a lot from what I remember her! That Aura she had was packed with Miasma and Malice, she was bad news! And the worst part of all, she was the one behind the production of all this miasma and darkness spreading out everywhere.

“So you’re here!” She said with a cocky voice, it was slightly the same cocky voice from before, but it carried a certain evil malice to it. “You’re the one that healed those in the castle and left out a Purification Barrier in there? How futile… Everything shall end up falling to darkness. After all, eveyerbody has a bit of greed inside of them.”

“What? What’s your goal? To just kill everybody? Why? Are you really the Queen or… Oh! I bet you’re some Demon Lord. You keep talking about greed… Hm, are you the Demon Lord of Greed then?!” I asked.

“Huh?! You’re quite sharp… For being a disgusting creature from another world, you do have a great perception ability. But yes… I suppose there’s little point in keeping it a secret! I am Avarice, the Demon Lord of Greed. I have the ability to wield Miasmic Energies that I can infect others with, it all depends in how greedy the person is! The more greed festering their hearts, the faster the darkness spreads out and consumes them… And now look! All these elves are being consumed by the Malice…”

“So you can manipulate emotions?” I wondered.

“Yes, and how easy it is! This just shows you how arrogant and selfish they are. They possess thousands of kilometers of rich and fertile land, yet they do not share a single piece of land to us… They are greedy to the core, a greedy race that just uses the pretext of caring for nature so they can think they’re superior and above other races! This is why I hate elves… This woman was hard to take over, she had truly a pure heart… But thanks to you and the greed awakening within her heart, you’ve helped me completely take over her now! I thank you, Kireina! GYAHAHAHA!”

“For fuck’s sake, you’re telling me it’s my fault this is happening?! Ugh…” I sighed.

I haven’t charged directly at her for a single reason, I don’t want to kill her! If I truly caused all of this, I wouldn’t be doing something okay by killing her, even less if she’s Elfina’s mother, my summoner, and the girl I kind of care for in this world! It hasn’t even been a week that I was summoned but I am already beginning to grow closer to the people of this world, killing this woman, despite how much of an asshole she was, feels not alright to me.

But her heart is festering with darkness and malice, its going to take a long while to actually purify all of this darkness from her heart, and it’s going to be a pain in the ass too. Ugh, for fuck’s sake, this is why I hate this type of shit. I wish I could just steamroll her to death but I cannot! I have to keep myself in check.

Well, it is not as if there’s no way of beating her. I know of various ways. I am just going to beat the shit out of her… but not kill her. Sounds alright, she’s strong enough to resist not being one-shotted, right? I hope so, because she’s emanating a lot of dark powers from within her, she’s all the way to the edge.
