Chapter 28
Galadriel is standing there, looking at Demiurge directly to his eyes. Wondering what is going on, but she must act. She needs to portray herself like the heroes she is. No matter how confused she is right now. Demiurge meanwhile is standing there with a mask, smiling at his lady.
"Sometimes I don't understand what's Demiurge is doing, like he is in another world of his own, very weird," Galadriel thought.
"I honestly don't know what he is trying to do, I thought we would use the Witch Queen persona to bring terror and to destabilize the kingdom. But he is taking that part for himself, like… What? We need to talk about this later," Galadriel sighs, getting ready to fight or something.
"Who… Who are you?" Galadriel turns back and saw a girl with a mask and a red cape.
"Why is everyone using masks?"
"My name is Elian, leader of the adamantite team Darkness," Galadriel said.
It surprises Evileye to see someone like her here, but she relaxed a bit when she heard that. Perhaps they could win this. She didn't know how strong Elian is but hoped that would be enough.
"I am Evileye of Blue Rose! I request assistance to defeat this monster!" Evileye yelled.
"Blue Rose? I see now, I wonder why is she doing here, " Galadriel thought.
"Understood," Galadriel said.
"My, my, what an honor this is! Shall we begin by naming ourselves?" Demiurge said.
"You may call me, Jaldabaoth," Demiurge replied with a bow.
"Jaldabaoth? He is truly Ulbert creation, both of them like weird names. I wonder what he is planning," Galadriel raised her sword. Using her Threatening pose number II.
"What a strange name you have. I am Elian, the one who will defeat you," Galadriel's voice is arrogant, making Evileye feel small next to her. Thinking about how brave and powerful she must be to say something like that with no problem at all. Of course, she didn't know that Galadriel is very embarrassed about talking like that.
"Are you now? I wonder why are you here of all places, I must say, that I am surprised to meet someone as strong as you here. Wonderful," Demiurge said with admiration.
"Oh, Demiurge, you are acting like a fangirl right now!" Galadriel thought.
"That's none of your business," Galadriel replied coolly.
"What an attitude from a youthful woman. You should not act this way at all," Demiurge said.
"What are you doing here, monster?" Galadriel asked.
"If you must know, I am looking for a special object here, an item capable of locating a place. A tomb to be more specific," Demiurge said.
"Ah, okay. Wait, let me think… This is making some sense now. I think I know what Demiurge is trying to do, and why he is using this persona, a clever plan. Let me hear more of it," Galadriel thought.
"A tomb you say? Why would you want a tomb of all things?" Galadriel said loud enough for Evileye to hear.
"There is something in this tomb I want, power beyond anyone's imagination!" Demiurge said.
"What is in that place?!" Yelled Evileye with fear.
"That's for me to know, and you to never find out!" Demiurge said with a smirk.
"That's enough talking, prepared yourself Dem- Jaldabaoth!" Galadriel didn't waste time to attack, embarrassed about almost saying Demiurge's name.
While both Demiurge and Galadriel fought, Evileye could only look amazed by the power of the dark warrior before her. She has never seen such power, not since the Thirteen Heroes. Could she be witnessing the birth of a new hero? Evileye didn't know.
But what she knows is that her heart is beating hard. A feeling she has never felt before appears in her dammed soul, and the only thing Evileye can do is blush.
"Do your best, lady Elian~" Evileye said with devotion in her voice.
Galadriel is thinking about the plan of Demiurge, thinking carefully about what could it mean to her and Nazarick. If they use Jaldabaoth as a scapegoat instead of The Witch Queen. Perhaps they could also put the blame on him and use the Witch Queen for something else.
"But what exactly? I really need to talk to Demiurge when we have the chance, I need to know the details first," Galadriel thought, swinging her sword at Demiurge who can sidestep the attack.
"Marvelous, perhaps my sole mistake in all this, was engaging in battle with a genius warrior like yourself," Demiurge said with honest devotion.
"Demiurge is making me feel all weird with his praises," Galadriel thought.
"Cut the crap! You're hiding your true strength, aren't you?" Galadriel said, making Demiurge laugh a bit.
"Good eye. I would love to fight you more, but I have things to do," Demiurge said.
"[Aspect of the Devil] [Tentacle Wings]" Demiurge flew to the sky.
"You are strong, but like I said before. There is so much to do today," Galadriel smirk under her helmet.
"Demiurge is enjoying this," Galadriel thought.
Demiurge's next attack is for Evileye. The masked girl saw how, from the demonic wings, small black spears are coming to her direction. She is taken by surprise. And before she could do anything. Galadriel stood before blocking the attack with ease. Using her sword to protect her. Or that is what Evileye thinks. Galadriel only wants to look badass.
"Are you okay?" Galadriel asked, with no real emotion.
"Y-Yes!" Responded a flustered Evileye.
"I'm glad you're unhurt," said Galadriel.
"Dam, she is small. Almost as small as Shalltear, although she is not that flat… Sorry, Shalltear, this girl has more breasts than you I think," Galadriel thought.
"I will remember your name, Elian the dark warrior. I would love to know more about you, but there is much to be done," Demiurge said.
"Are you running away?" Galadriel responded, trying to look cool in front of the adolescent girl.
"My intention is not to fight you, besides I doubt you can fight with her next to you," Demiurge mocks.
"Mm, Demiurge sound a bit hostile to this girl, I wonder why, " Galadriel saw the masked girl, looking ashamed of herself for a moment.
"I don't know what to do with this brat, Mm. I think having a friendly relationship with her would be good. She is an Adamantite adventurer, so she may prove useful in the future. I could kill her if she annoys me too, but let's see if she can contribute to my name," Galadriel thought.
"Trust me," Galadriel said, picking the girl in her arms. Evileye only squeals in joy.
"I will protect you," Evileye almost fainted when she heard that soft voice. In her mind, she is already seeing their future together. But Galadriel is only thinking about how annoying it is to carrying someone like her.
"She is so small! And why is she trembling in my arms, is she scared of something? She is so weird," Galadriel thought, baffled by the masked girl.
"I will stop you, Dem… Jaldabaoth!" Galadriel said, pointing her sword at him.
"You will try, but for now rejoice knowing that you will witness something beautiful today. I will engulf the capital in flames, and if you trespass it. I can promise you a trip to the netherworld were the flames of purgatory would be your only source of light," he said with a threatening voice.
"Uwa, Demiurge scrip is amazing!" Galadriel thought with a smile on her face.
"You will never win! I will make sure of it, Demiu… Jaldabaoth!" Galadriel said, feeling embarrassed that she messed up again. She needs to stop doing that.
"I will wait for that!" Demiurge said, disappearing in the shadows.
"Shit, this is so embarrassing. I think I should ask Pandora's Actor to teach me how to act," Galadriel thought with a sigh.
"This is bad, lady Elian! We must follow him!" Evileye said.
"There's no point if what he said is true. And if the city is in danger, we must prioritize the safety of the capital," Galadriel said.
"You are right," said Evileye with a soft voice.
"Nabe, Regina," Evileye saw two gorgeous women appear before her. She cannot believe such beauty exists. Both of them made her feel bad. They look so mature compared to her, who looks like a young girl. She feels sad. Especially when she saw how big their breasts are.
"Elian dear, we didn't detect anyone else around us," Lupusregina said, with a smile.
"Elian, what should we do now?" Narberal said, looking at Evileye with disgust. Especially since she is still on her lady's arm. Lupusregina had a smile on her face, but her eyes are telling a different history. Both maids do not like the idea of a lesser being, touching their beloved lady.
"Elian dear, what about her ?" Lupusregina inquired, looking at Evileye with hatred. Like she is about to snap and broke Evileye's neck. Poor Evileye, she didn't know about the murderous intents from those two. But Galadriel did, and she thought it was funny.
"Are they jealous? This is very amusing, but I don't want them to kill this girl… Yet," Galadriel gently put Evileye on the ground.
"Sorry about it," Galadriel said.
"No, no! I should be the one thanking you for saving me!" Evileye said.
"Is nothing," Galadriel replied.
Galadriel saw two bodies half burned on the ground. Even with a mask on her face, Galadriel could imagine the sad look on the girl's face. She wrapped them in a special mantel, saying that the magic item she is using will take care of the bodies until she revives them. Making Galadriel curious about it.
"Can you use a resurrection spell?" Galadriel asked. Wanting to know more about this Adamantite team.
"Ah, no. Our leader, Lakyus, is on her way here. She can cast that spell," Evileye said.
"Is there any drawback for her when she uses the spell?" Galadriel asked.
"Ah, she needs to be very close to uses the spell. They won't be able to move or fight for a while. [Raise Dead] consumes an impressive deal of life force, and anyone weak won't be able to be resurrected. Adamantite-ranked adventurers have trouble trying to move for a while," Evileye said.
"I understand it now," Galadriel said.
"Is really not like [True Revive] this version is so weak, but I would have to investigate about this later on," Galadriel thought.
"If possible, could I meet with this Lakyus? Could I wait with you?" Galadriel asked.
"What! Why do you need to meet Lakyus?!" Evileye exclaimed.
"What's with this girl?" Galadriel thought.
"Uh, well, one of the reasons we came here is to meet some Adamantite adventurers teams in the capital. So, it's only normal to meet your leader," Evileye looks embarrassed behind her mask, while Narberal and Lupusregina still have this strange look on their faces. A hilarious look, if Galadriel could say for herself. Like they were disgusted by this little girl and amused by her at the same time.
"Could you tell me what happened here?" Galadriel asked.
Evileye told them what they did here, and who they were fighting. Lupusregina and Narberal said nothing. The only thing they wanted is to rip Evileye apart. But it is Galadriel, the one showing more anger than both of them. Suddenly, Evileye felt something in the air, like something could crush her in an instant. She didn't know what it was. But she is starting to feel very afraid.
"Did you kill her?" Galadriel asked, in a stiff voice.
"I will destroy her. I will mutilate her slowly. I will rejoice while she screams in agony, hearing the voice of the dammed. If Entoma is dead. I will make sure this girl never dies. She will suffer forever," Galadriel thought. Losing herself slowly to her demon part.
"Ah, no. We didn't. Jaldabaoth showed up before we could," Evileye said, feeling the surrounding air lighter.
"Is that so, I see," Galadriel said, feeling more relaxed, but still angry.
"Jaldabaoth got serious because you try to kill the maid… That's what I believe," Galadriel said
"It could be true, but I am sure that no decent maid would serve such a being. If my friends picked a fight with her, then I believe there is an excellent reason for it," Evileye said, making Galadriel think.
"I think that may be true, a part of it. Still, I won't forgive this incident at all. But for now, I will let it pass," Galadriel thought.
"You are right, I apologized," Galadriel said.
"You don't have to apologize to me! Someone as wonderful as you don't need to do that!" Evileye exclaim.
"Ah, yeah…" Galadriel said, looking away.
"She reminds me of Albedo, and that is not good," Galadriel thought.
"I love Albedo, but she can be very... Hard to deal with, she is always so crazy about me... Well, I did change her settings to be in love with me, so. I guess is my fault," Galadriel sigh.
"But I am still thinking about what he said. About this artifact and about engulfing the capital in flame," Evileye said.
"That's true, we must think about what he said," Galadriel said.
"Elian, look over there," Narberal said, pointing at the city. Both Galadriel and Evileye saw a giant wall of fire at the distances.
"The flames of Gehenna?" Galadriel said, looking at the wall of fire dividing the city.
"I see now, this is a very easy plan now that I can see what Demiurge is doing," Galadriel thought.
"Excuse me, lady Elian, do you know what this is?" Evileye asked.
"Ah, I have seen this before… When I was younger," Galadriel said, trying to look mysterious.
"I don't think I should have said that, but anyway it doesn't matter," Galadriel thought.
"Any ideas, lady Elian?" Evileye asked.
"We need to be prepared for whatever Jaldabaoth is planning on doing. Is there any way to contact the rest of the adventurers' teams in the capital?" Galadriel asked.
"We can meet with the officials in the city. Ah, my leader is a good friend of princess Renner, she can help us organize the defenses of the city," said Evileye.
"I see, we need to-" Before she could finish a sentence. A bright light came from the city, like thunder, hitting the wall of fire.
"The fuck is that?!" Galadriel yelled in her mind.
"I don't think this is part of the plan, what is going on?" Galadriel thought.
"{My lady, Albedo here. We are ready for you.}" Albedo said using a message. Making Galadriel feel more confused than before. Her mind is running, trying to figure out what are they doing, but she can't think of anything.
"{Ah… Good}" That's all she could say.
"{Pandora's Actor is ready, and so is Demiurge, operation Gehenna is ready}"
"Why is Pandora's Actor here?! What in God's name is going on?!" Galadriel wanted to scream and roll on the floor, not understanding anything of what is going on. Sadly for her, things will get more complicated.
