Chapter 168: Alvitor Ravaging Part 5

( Inside Queen Faelivrin's mind. )

" Floryndor ... " she hugs Floryndor in her hands, as he was sleeping in her lap.

This is a memory of their past adult years when they first become closer to each other before their marriage.

" Your hands are still warm as ever. " Floryndor tells her.

" Like the autumn your palm is, I can feel its warmth as you pat me," he tells Faelivrin.

" Yes. " Faelivrin replies to him.

" Yes, my husband... "

" I will always do things for your sake, no matter in which season it may, whether our body is still growing or wither... "

" I will do my best to stay with you. " Faelivrin says as she kisses Floryndor, she kisses him while not realizing that the husband she sees in her mind changes into his skeletal condition.

" I love you, Floryndor. "

" Please, watch me kill the descendants of the man who killed you. "

...

( Back to the real world. )

" Oh my, this is an unseen climax. " Tenebrae says as he sees from afar, seeing Queen Faelivrin's Elemental Holder Vines successfully hurt those she fights, while some remain to defy its swarm.

" Well, that's for today... " he says before leaving.

" It seems the 'thing' I gave her works as it... "

" Hmm- " Tenebrae sensed something from a different direction of Alvitor Prison.

" It can't be... " Tenebrae says as he sees smoke coming from the direction he sees, a smoke that marches forward.

" Smoke, huh? "

" Well, we knew who could do such a thing, didn't we? " Tenebrae asks he sees it.

" It's our old pal, Draven. "

" Coming to save Duncan like last time, perhaps. " *

" He was his fan, wasn't he? " Tenebrae says as he then sees the darkness behind him.

" Wow, you don't have to look at me with such a stare, shouldn't you? " he asks from the darkness he sees white eyes coming up, as it fills the very dark with their shadowy body.

" Guess darkness and shadows are so similar, aren't they? " Tenebrae says to the beings he sees.

" Our color is even the same, black... "

" No wonder I became so fearful of the 'dark' lately, despite being the user of 'Dark Magic'. " Tenebrae tells himself.

" For now, the darkness I usually ventured alone could be filled by the shadowy beings, isn't it? " Tenebrae says while unleashing [Tenebris Gladius].

" You seemed to have orchestrated this... " a female voice comes out from the shadow along with the body, it was Tania for she decided to confront Tenebrae.

" Oh, a Dark Elf...? " Tenebrae sees this with excitement.

" This is interesting, what a great plot twist for me today! " Tenebrae says as Tania confronts him.

"( Young Master, let me confront this guy... )" Tania says to herself.

"( This guy has been watching us from afar, I sensed it... )"

"( I'm sure that this guy is behind our attack in Validur, I even sensed his presence among the Flame Elves and Sea Elves that attacked us. )" Tania says, she communicates with Draven through their <Link>.

"( Thanks, Tania... ) " Draven replied while using <Black Smoke Moth Slip (LVL.5)>.

" It's that bastard Tenebrae, again. " Draven says in his mind, remembering the past when he fought him with his father (Duncan) and Warblade Guildmaster Agniz Resha.

" If he's with Tania then Mom and Dad might be around his current location. " he deducted, knowing that Tenebrae had something to do with his father Duncan back then.

" Mom, Dad, I'm coming. " Draven says as he goes as fast as he can, full speed.

< Quest: Find Irina and Duncan (409m) >

...

( At the same time. )

[ Alvitor Prison ]

Irina fights the vines that grab her, she uses all of her Dragonification's magic to unhand herself from it, and Duncan too since he's with her.

While struggling, Agniz, who's been around ever since, decides to hide in the nearby rock with Fernando.

" Do you see the other, Warblade Guildmaster? " Fernando asks her.

" I don't I only want to target that monstrous Elf Queen. "

" For that monster just broke my sword, my 100.000K Credits Sword," she says while looking at the remaining [Scarlett Bloodburn Sword]* as she only has its handle and half of its blade.

" Wow, that sword is really that expensive? " Fernando asks as he sees it.

"That sucks for a 100.000K Credits Sword, mine probably is around 90.000K but it didn't break that hard. " Fernando replies to Agniz.

" Guess your sword must have some fake quality... " Fernando teases Agniz.

" Screw you, royal...! " Agniz tells him, she swears to sue the Equipedia Website/App for this.

" Damn you, Equippedia, how can it be like this...? " Agniz says to herself.

" Don't be angry at Equippedia just yet, it may be because the foe we faced is unknown to us... " Fernando calms her.

" I agree, this kind of monster is new for me to face. "

" Not to me. " Fernando replied as he then tells Agniz to look at the Forest Elf Queen's monstrous chest.

" Why do I have to see that? " Agniz asks Fernando.

" Just take a look or just peek at it. " Fernando says to her.

" Look at what glows in its center. " Fernando explains the specifics to her and Agniz then shows her head out to take a peak as she sees a glowing object that radiates dark energy on the Forest Elf Queen's chest.

After seeing it, Agniz retracts her head and returns to hide after witnessing it.

" What is that? " she asked as she sees it.

" A 'Dark Core' filled with Dark Energy. "

" An object from ancient times, used by humans who received their power from other entities, before we could even use Mana again. " Fernando explains to Agniz.

" So, where did it come from? you said it was from other entities, right? " Agniz asks Fernando about it.

Fernando didn't immediately answer and in turn, he just rotates his head to see her, and looks at her for a while, and tells her.

" Do you believe in demons, Warblade Guildmaster? " Fernando asks Agniz.

" De...mons...? " Agniz asks him back while thinking about it for a sec.

" What is... that? " she asks Fernando about it, in her confusion.

" I see, no wonder you did not know. " Fernando says.

" It's the only thing known if you are part of the Royal family or you delved into your religion enough. " Fernando tells her.

" And speaking of Demons, regarding the 'Dark Core' we've seen. "

" I might've just known how it gets there, into the Queen's chest. " Fernando says as he could only suspect one person.

" Tenebrae... " Fernando says as he knows it.

...

" ACHOO (sneeze) "

" Someone is mentioning me. " Tenebrae says while fighting.
