Chapter 166: Alvitor Ravaging Part 3

Minutes after the queen was slashed, the survivors of the Queen's rampage began to gather behind Duncan.

" Is she dead yet? " Agniz asks while Duncan is still silent.

He gazes upon the Queen's dead corpse, for he sees plants grow around her body, he became wary of it, hence why he still keeps his distance while maintaining vigilance over the sliced Forest Elf Queen.

"( I honestly didn't see the plants growing on her body... )" Duncan thinks to himself.

"( Hmm... I didn't like this... )" Duncan says while preparing his blade.

" Dear. " he was suddenly called by Irinia as she approaches him.

" Yes, wife...? " Duncan asks but was immediately hugged by Irina who can't no longer hold her worries over his actions earlier.

She hugs him tight, making his focus diverted from the Queen for he now had to deal with her worries that often get too emotional.

"( Oh no, I hope the 'Dragon Curse' doesn't go active right now... )" Duncan hopes while secretly preparing the [Dragon Curse Sealing Magic] for safety measures while dealing with Irina.

" I'm worried, Duncan... " Irina tells him.

" You always make my heart go off whenever you go into battle. " Irina says in her worries.

" Don't you ever do it again, please consider it. "

" You're a father now, please avoid more recklessness, okay? " she says to him, while Duncan could only listen to it and feel guilty about it.

" I'll consider it, no more dangerous stunts then. " Duncan says while talking to Irina, as they both talked with the others too, they didn't realize that it is not over for them.

...

( Meanwhile. )

" Floryndor... " Faelivrin says as she lays around the grass with Floryndor, they both do the things they've done since their first meet, laying down over the grass in order to learn more about connecting themselves with nature.

" Yes, Faelivrin? " Floryndor asks her, wondering if is there something in Faelivrin's mind.

" Is this real? " Faelivrin asks.

" What do you mean? "

" Are we in the garden right now? it feels so real as if I returned to the past but- " Faelivrin stops which made Floryndor wondered.

" Are you okay, Fae? " Floryndor asks which made Faelivrin blush as he asks her that, she begins to feel shy, her face gone red, just like the old times with Floryndor back then, which happens right now.

"( Am I in a dream? hallucination? )"

"( How could I meet my husband once more, what kind of magic is this? )" she wondered as she spent time with the Floryndor she had beside him right now.

" Fae? " Floryndor asks as Faelivrin hugs him, she hugs him close while crying.

" I've missed you... "

" If this wasn't real but I really liked it, I... " she cries while experiencing this, her tears pour out, a result of her released sadness over the years and her current happiness on finally meeting her beloved once more.

When she does this, Floryndor then hugs her, he closes his eyes while hugging Faelivrin even more.

" Yeah, me too... " Floryndor says.

" Even in death, I still want to be with you... " Floryndor suddenly says as he suddenly turns into a corpse that surprised Faelivrin, freaking her out.

" Husband!? " she freaked out as she sees the drastic turns, the setting of place begins to rapidly change, it changes to a funeral she then sees her husband's corpse at the funeral, and she sees it in tears which makes her fall down.

" Husband, why did you abandon me? " she cries, her tears dropping.

" When you're gone I continue to bear the pain of my 'condition' alone again... "

" If..., If I... no... "

" If you just take me with you to the human world to fight back then, it will be- " she cries in her regret as the setting of the place is just darkness while she just cries, alone within it.

While thinking of her husband's death, she begins to wonder that it would be a great bliss if she would able to join him in death, returning back to nature with him.

" Oh my, look at you... " a voice suddenly comes, inside the darkness of his mind, making her surprised.

" Husband...? " Faelivrin asks as she then looks around.

" Kekeke, I'm not your husband, but I could help you avenge him. " said the voice which made Faelivrin more curious.

" Who are you then, show yourself!? " she asks in the highest volume of shouting possible.

" Already done! " a voice suddenly appeared behind her, surprising her.

" Who are you!? " Faelivrin says as he meets with a man with black sclera eyes and black hair, his body filled with a dark aura around him.

" Do not be afraid, Queen. " the person introduces himself.

" For I am Tenebrae, from the Nyx Nocterra house. "

" A human...!? you!? help!? " Queen Faelivrin is pissed as she senses Tenebrae's human presence.

Like all Elves, they had a keen sense towards other races, the Elven race is known to identify other races just by simply sensing their presence, even from afar.

" Wow, you got my presence there, didn't you? " Tenebrae says to her.

" But don't worry, I'm here to help you though. "

" You want to kill those who killed your husband, yes? " Tenebrae asks.

" And their relatives, yes. " the Queen simply answers him, which gives Tenebrae a smile on his face.

A simple answer, but Tenebrae already knew that the Queen is wanting his help, despite him never telling what kind of 'help' he will offer.

" Your eyes, Forest Queen. " Tenebrae says to Queen Faelivrin, he sees her with sharp eyes, still in tears, but her eyes the eyes of killing desire.

" I do not know what your face looks like outside this Mind Realm of yours, nor do I care. "

" What I'm giving you is an optional choice, after all, even after you received it for me, you could still not use it for your own reasons. " Tenebrae offers his palm, showing something to the Queen.

The Queen's eye widened, she sees what was in Tenebrae's hand.

" Is this even real? " the Queen asks, wondering if what she sees right now, inside her own mind, is actually something 'real' both in mind and in reality.

" It's real, after all I'm giving this to you in your real body, this here, the one you see in my palm right now is only the representation of the object I injected into your body. " Tenebrae simply explains.

" This thing is the thing I've acquired from your Emperor, thanks to our 'business'. "

" Business? The Emperor? "

" ...with you, human? Tenebrae...? " the Queen asks, in her mind, she only thinks of revenge, not even thinking again about objecting to Tenebrae's offer.

" Believe it what you like Forest Elf Queen. "

" But I assure you this,... "

" When you accept this while inside the realm of your own mind... "

" This object I inserted in your body would immediately activate and will get you out of here in seconds after you accepted it. "

" Now, would you- "

" Give me! " the Queen immediately pick the object from Tenebrae's hand, she looks at it, that dark object, she looks at it with anger and anxiety, for she knew what that is and what it was capable of, but...

Her desire for vengeance wants her to use it, accepting the thing offered by Tenebrae.

" I will take it. " the Queen of Forest Elves, Faelivrin decides to accept it, she grips the very object given to her.

" For whatever it takes, I will destroy those who killed my husband.

" No matter what," she vows as the realm of her mind begins to darken, as a result of her acceptance.

" Very well, kukuku... " Tenebrae replied as the darkness engulfed the whole mind realm of Queen Faelivrin.

" See you in the real world, hope you could fulfill your desires into reality. " Tenebrae tells her, as the Queen's mind realm is completely engulfed with the Darkness.

....

( Back to the real world. )

[ Valines, Alvitor Prison ]

" Duncan, what's wrong? " Irina asks Duncan for he suddenly stops and freezes like a statue.

Duncan freezes, he sensed something odd, something familiar and similar to what he knew, but also.

"( What is this, what is this sen- )" Before Duncan could grasp it, he sensed the origin of that ominous sensation.

"( Behind me, don't tell me it's! )" Duncan then runs and charges towards Irina, hugging her, as both of them fall down.

" Hon..ey...? " Irina asks.

" Get down! " Duncan shouts and as he says it, the Forest Elf Queen's corpse began to rise up, it began to change as a 'Dark' Object triggers her resurrection.

" You..will... pay...! " she says as she summons monstrous vines from her body.

After unleashing those things, she begins to change the other parts of her real body, transforming it into a plant-like monstrosity as she loses her usual form and becomes an unimaginable monster.

" Feel the wrath of the forest...! "

" As I ravaged all of you to shreds and fill this prison with your screams. " the Forest Elf Queen, Faelivrin says in her monstrous form.

" Well done, well done. " Tenebrae sees it from afar, clapping his hands for being amazed when seeing it.
