Through heaven and earth i alone am honored (II)

Ephildis perspective

I was now standing behind the door where those elders were, and as my Diny-nee had said, those geezer were just spending their life force on some ritual. Still, elders are elders because they understand their power and capability.

"Sigh..."

I and they both know that we are both aware of another presence that is separated only by this massive steel door.

I can see all kinds of traps set up that can instantly be triggered the moment this door was opened from outside the room, while they were also chanting their strongest spell to hit me straight in the face.

"Sigh..."

I sighed once more, because those elders were truly cunning old foxes, greedy to achieve something higher and bigger despite their age, which almost reached the end of the elf's era.

Some of them can be said to be from a previous generation where my mother still sat on the throne as queen and led this kingdom.

Still, I don't know the word of fear or afraid to die just to eliminate those bastard. 

I was not arrogant to say that I can survive without receiving huge damage, as I can predict how merciless our fight will be later.

I vs. a dozen.

Sure, I was at a disadvantage, but as the queen who inherited my ancestor's blood, I still had power equal to their quantity.

Natural energy absorbs.

As the current ruler of this kingdom, I have inherited a natural talent that allows me to easily absorb natural energy from my surroundings.

In simple terms, my magic power was infinite or unlimited.

Because of this too, the magic power in my body was so sensitive to the fluctuation of emotions that I let out. Where I can easily explode because I absorb too much natural energy from my surroundings.

"Inhale... Fu...."

My magical power was rapidly boiling, and the fluctuating energy in my surroundings began to be sucked into my body like a black hole sucking its surroundings. 

"Let's do this... Mother, Almia, Diny-nee, and my Ancestor... give me your power to punish those bastards of evil; save the kingdom and all my citizens from this catastrophe."

I cannot waste time to just punish those rats; I must help my soldiers who so bravely sacrifice their lives to protect their home, their family, and those who seem precious to them and live and fear inside nearby shelters.

I raised my hands to the door, where my whole body emitted a cold aura that was surrounding me.

"O Spirit of Ice, the one who always watches and leads me to be a benevolent leader that can protect my people."

"Please, help me to banish those evils from our holy land. Give me more power in exchange for my life force."

I could feel that the magic power in my body was overflowing like a volcano. All the magic in my body quickly flowed and gathered at my fingertips.

Ah... I unconsciously smiled because, at this moment, I really felt like a real ruler who would sacrifice herself to protect the future of this kingdom.

I had enough to be a queen who just sat still on the throne, being controlled like a puppet by those cunning old foxes.

In just a moment, I was reminded of that powerful human...

I don't know why, but due to his presence, all of these kinds of events have happened.

"Heh, it looks like I must ask Narrus about him after this."

"Die rats, you're era has ended here!"

"Absolute Zero!!!"

...

Outside of the wall of kingdom

Third-person point of view.

On the other hand, when the queen of Agraliel was putting herself in danger, she unleashed an ultimate move that froze the entire kingdom and its surroundings.

Here in the outside of the wall kingdom, a war has broken out, or more precisely, a siege of defense, in which the entire army has come out to defend their home and land from those unknown beasts that have taken the form of wood and used the roots and branches as their legs and hands.

Seeing the enemy body was made of wood, those who can use magic instantly form a magic fire to burn them.

But, as Dinelynd stated, the fire that is launched at them does not harm or even bother them.

This frustrated the elf side, but they quickly tried their best to form all kinds of elements that could purge them.

The elf side was all-out, with every type of soldier out to defend their land.

Archer, sword master, spearman, magician, etc.

At the same time, they felt fortunate that they didn't have to divide their troops into sections to protect their homes. The monsters, on the other hand, were coming from one direction: the silent forest in the kingdom's east.

Even though the royal army mobilised to protect their kingdom, they felt that their numbers were very small compared to the many monsters that appeared and ran towards them.

Unlike previous wars, where monsters suddenly attacked from all sides, they could sense that the enemy they were facing now seemed to be endless.

Whereas they had just killed one monster with great difficulty, three new monsters appeared from within the silent forest and rushed towards them.

Even so, they still do not give up or lose heart about the war they are currently facing. Of the thousands of soldiers who moved and exchanged attacks with the monsters, there were two great women who quickly and smoothly eradicated the monsters with the swords in their hands.

Slash! Boom! Slash! Slash! Slash!

It was the first captain of the Knights of the Agraliel Kingdom, Narrus, and their princess, the future successor of the Agraliel Kingdom, Almia.

The two girls moved gracefully, with every movement of their feet and hands well-coordinated, allowing them to easily dispatch the enemy without breaking a sweat.

Almia, who had just broken through the limits of her talent as a pure sword user, was currently showing her skills in front of the eyes of thousands of soldiers and tens of thousands of enemies in front of her at the moment.

The sword she is currently holding, like the black sword that Narrus owns, is an artifact owned by her previous grandmother that was passed down directly to him before his grandmother died and was replaced as queen of the kingdom by his mother.

The sword can suck nature energy from around it, which makes the sword always sharp, and the level of sharpness will continue to increase when the user flows energy into the sword.

At the same time, the sword can absorb the elements flowed by the user, but the user must maintain proper control when doing so, as the sword will suck more energy to maintain the consistency of the existing elements.

Almia certainly knows this well, where she is nicknamed the magic swordsman by other people because she can use swords and magic simultaneously.

Unlike her mother, Ephildis, she has a natural affinity for the wind element, making her a natural user of the sword she swings to dispatch the wooden monsters he is currently confronted with.

He had become at least three times stronger than he was before, however...

"...I'm still nothing compared to Narrus-nee."

These words came out of her mouth when she could see Narrus moving very quickly while cutting everything in front of her eyes with a black sword specially given to him by her beloved husband.

The wooden monsters they were facing today were famous for their resilience and hardness of body, which made them difficult to cut with ordinary swords.

One Slash! One Swoop! One Fall!

Her performance became the center of attention for the others; maybe after this she will get another title for her name.

At the same time, they are confused because Narrus naturally joins their side to protect their home.

The unexpected announcement made by Ephildis a few days ago has already reached the ears of every soldier and citizen of Agraliel.

They were all taken aback because Narrus, who was always on the front lines, leading thousands of soldiers and carrying out her duties as the number one captain and Imperial Guard, had suddenly become a rebel.

They adore their queen, but it simply does not make sense.

They all react this way because the reason for Narrus' exile from the kingdom is not explained to them.

So seeing Narrus fight with them made them believe it was just a miscommunication or that someone was attempting to create a commotion that slandered both the queen and Narrus at the same time.

Narrus Linhen Perspective

Ah... this is so fun...

Slash! Fwosh! Slash! Slash! Slash!

My right hand cannot stop swinging the black sword that so flawlessly hacks those wood monsters.

Hmmm~ Husband must be watching me from somewhere; that's why i must do my best to show how powerful her wife is~

I'm sure I will get something from this.

Heheheheheheheehheehehe~

"Hmmm? Why do those monsters seem to be afraid of seeing me?"

I couldn't notice that those monsters seemed to be avoiding getting closer to me, and the number of enemies facing me seemed to be less than the others.

Am I that scary?

"M-monster..."

My ears couldn't help but catch someone saying it.

"...Monster?"

My corner mouth can't help but twitch. How rudely those monsters said I was a monster!

Hmph! If my husband is here, you'll instantly die if you dare insult me!

As time continues to pass, I can feel that those monsters seem to always be spawned, as there's something or someone who summons them from the silent forest.

Do I need to breakthrough and dash to get inside the forest?

Hmmmmmmmm...

Boom!!!

I couldn't help but jump to the side, where I could feel water magic coming from behind me.

The magic took the form of a large spear that penetrated all the bodies of the monsters in front of where I was before.

"Tsk! The witch..."

It was quite surprising that the witch could be free and appear in this place. Was it my darling who freed the witch? Possible.

I know how my darling needs thousands more women to be able to satisfy his limitless libido.

My darling also looks very handsome and has his own charisma that can at least make all women curious about him.

A few days ago, before today, I was quite surprised when I saw him become stronger than before. No, perhaps you could say that my darling has achieved something that cannot be expressed in words or logic in this world.

His appearance has changed to become cooler, more mature, and calmer.

I wasn't surprised or said much about the changes that occurred to him, where I felt he was slowly becoming the Kaito figure that was exactly like that dream.

Even though he has changed in many ways, my darling remains a warm and caring person when he spends time with me.

Ahh... The difference in his attitude makes me fall even more in love and obsessed with him, and I'm sure all my younger siblings will think the same as me.

Oh yes, when we were having sex, my darling seemed more aggressive than usual, and he really didn't give me time to think clearly or take a breath.

Strangely, I really like him being aggressive like that.

Hmm, what is the right word to describe this?

Ah! That is! He became more sadistic, and I became more masochistic.

Damn, thinking about how aggressive he would be while treating me so low and using my body like a tool to satisfy his lust makes my womb quiver with excitement.

...

Dinelynd perspective

I couldn't help but sigh when I saw a horde of monsters made of wood coming from the silent forest.

I could see all the soldiers working hard to finish off dozens of waves of monsters coming at them from above.

I could not help but sigh as I saw how frail the royal soldiers were in their fight against these monsters.

I do not say this lightly, but the soldiers in the Agraliel kingdom have very little experience in wars where the elven kingdom itself took refuge and disappeared from this world in order to keep the elven country and nation's peace.

It's ridiculous, in my opinion, since I haven't lived in the kingdom for a long time and live alone while looking at the outside world behind an illusory magic wall that is useful for protecting the existence of the kingdom. I feel that the kingdom will be very easily destroyed and ravaged.

I, who had been expelled and slandered by those damn elders, could not help but feel a strong sense of vengeance, especially when Ephildis, the royal princess who had now taken the throne and become the queen of this kingdom, the one whom I regarded as my own little sister, just kept quiet, unable to help or defend me when I was in trouble.

With overwhelming feelings of revenge and despair, I began to slowly develop a big plan over the years while developing my magical abilities and looking for monster races that I could exploit and control.

I don't know the name of being tired, complaining, or wasting the time I have just to take revenge for all the insults I received that day.

You could say I have become a damaged woman.

Not in a lewd way, but in aspects of living beings.

Live to revenge and become nothing after having done the revenge.

My plan was perfect in every way except that I also enslaved the humans who appeared strangely inside the barrier.

I spied Ephildis bathing with her daughter and their dark elf imperial guard far away from their location because I suspected they, especially Ephildis, were sensitive to the presence of others.

Her magical eyes were extremely bothersome to me.

In the end, it was a total failure with this stranger, who appeared out of nowhere. That man cut and resolved all of my plans that I had already designed flawlessly.

I hate that man.

I really fucking hate it.

Still, at the same time, man seems to bring another alternative ending for me, and the others are just the true side of evil being punished by his presence and action.

Also...

"What the fuck was that dark elf imperial guard made at?"

My corner eyes twitch like crazy, where that woman so flawlessly hacks those ancient monsters with just one slash.

Fucking monster.

As far as I know, these monsters are made by trees that grow in the 'Silent Forest', which are famous for their hardness, which can match high-quality iron, as well as being invulnerable to the fire element, the natural enemy of the wood element, based on the history I read in books.

"No... That woman itself was strong, but still not enough to overwhelm those monsters with just one slash..."

I couldn't help but focus on my eyesight, which has been enhanced by some magic.

"That sword... I feel like I've seen that sword before..."

I tried to open the memory database in my brain.

"That sword from that idiot werewolf who has drowned in vengeance feelings." So that girl was the one who hacked him and looted his sword."

"Still... It seems so different from what I've remembered; it's not like what pure black metal looked like before..."

"Also, I can feel the euphoria of ridicolous power from that sword that made my entire body and neuron shudder as if it's reminding me of a bad nightmare."

"...That powerful man, that sword, and that woman must have a deep connection."

Suddenly, I can feel the feeling that my body has been slammed by those thunder dragons that electroluted my entire existence and made me torture so much with pain.

I've just realized there's no way I must still be alive to receive that.

"Shit... my instinct said to me... My life has been shackled to that man..."

Indirectly, there's already a collar attached to my neck that connects to this man.

My gaze was drawn to Princess Almia, who appeared to have used half of her stamina to hack those monsters, but then she stumbled, allowing the opposite to kill her.

Panicky, I throw a massive spear made of water, my main magical element, to protect her life because I do not want Ephildis to be sad.

Woosh! 

The spear continued to move forward and pierce everything in front of it.

"Shit..."

That dark elf jumped to the side as my spear almost pierced her, and my body shuddered when our gazes met.

My entire body screams at me at this moment.

I've must not get involve with her.
