Chapter 39
"Wait!"
Someone screamed in anguish. The Dragon Lord was in pain. Not from the body he was using. But from the suffering of his failure. He should have known better. His arrogance blinded him to the facts laid before him. Still, it was not over. There was still a chance for them. For him.
Galadriel, for a dramatic purpose, glared at the person who dares to interrupt her. There was no reason for her to lose time here. Galadriel did what she had. The scene was over. She needed to move forth with her plans and the next stage. But she had to be patient.
"Wait, you say. Why should I wait?" Galadriel asked threateningly.
As long as there was an audience, she had to keep up doing this. Only because Galadriel has already reached this point in her act. Still, she would end it all if she gets tired. Something Galadriel was feeling. She wants to eat something and throw herself to her bed to take a long and deserving nap.
She noticed Evileye approaching her, slowly and fearfully. The tiny legs were shaking and her breathing was fast and erratic. The poor short girl could not speak properly. Evileye did not know how was she able to scream so loud before. But the will to do it again was long gone.
"Speak now little child or remain silent forever," Galadriel commanded her.
Evileye however could say nothing. She only stared with fearful eyes, stammering incoherent words. Thankfully, behind her. Rigrit was there to help her out. The old lady was also afraid, but did her best to save her friend. To save the armor so they could fight another day. They could only hope for something like that.
"Ancient One, we wanted to only stop Jaldabaoth from usurping your power!" Rigrit exclaimed, throwing panic glances at the rest. So they could follow her lead.
"Yes, that's right! We came here only to stop the demon! We are not your enemies!" Evileye said, trying to sound as confident as Rigrit.
Galadriel almost laughed. The audacity of them to lie to her face was incredible. But point taken, it was partially true. They were there to stop Jaldabaoth. So she could see why they would say something like that. Still, there was something she wanted to know. The mission of the Slane Theocracy was to stop the Demon too. But with the difference that they wanted to find artifacts. And to bring those items back to the Slane Theocracy. Perhaps even try to resurrect her and control her, or something like that. The Cardinals were all crazy with different priorities.
But apart from them. She did not have more information about the Dragon Lords. Galadriel hated being in the dark. Blue Roses could prove useful for her. They seemed close to this Dragon Lord, so perhaps she could take advantage of this. Galadriel needed to know more.
This Dragon Lord had a World Item, so this mean, there was the possibility of being more out there. And although this Dragon Lord was not strong. Galadriel was not sure if the rest was the same. Galadriel was to paranoic to leave something like this out in the open. So taking this as a crucial matter on hand, she glanced at Pandora's Actor, who seems to wonder what was she thinking.
He knows how difficult could prove to move forward with little intel about Dragons in the world. Pandora's Actor was sure they would eventually find more about them. But if he knew his lady, Pandora's Actor was sure about one thing. His creator was very paranoid about giving away information. She would try to gain something more. A way out to learn more of her enemies.
"If that was the case, why would your friend attack me? He seems rather arrogant about it," Galadriel said with a smirk, holding her sword close to the Dragon Lord's neck.
"He talked about justice and what is right to the world. To be a hero and what not. A very arrogant way to look at things," Galadriel glared at both of them.
"Tell me, why should I leave any of you alive?" She said.
"What could I possibly gain from it? Wouldn't be easier for me to just… Destroy all of you?" Galadriel's words were daggers to their hearts. The rest of the Blue Roses were nervous about this. The possibility of them getting away with their life was getting lower at each passing minute.
"This is a big misunderstanding," Rigrit said nervously.
"Misunderstanding? I think not. You all came here knowing what you could find. Invade my resting place and had the gall to raise your weapons against me. For me, those are sins and I want retribution," Galadriel said, intimidating them more.
"But I doubt you have anything you can give me in return for this… Insult. You know you can't run away, and if you do. If all of you tried such a thing. Well, things will not be nice for any of you," Galadriel said.
"So speak now, intruders. And you Dragon Lord, don't you even dare to run away. Because if you, this friends of yours will suffer," Tsaindorcus was against the wall. He was having a hard time thinking of something. Could he use [World Teleportation]? The Dragon Lord thought it could. But by doing so, he would leave Rigrit and the rest of the girls behind. He did not want to leave them to their fate.
What can I do? I need to protect them! This is my fault… I need to do what is right. Tsaindorcus thought.
Using [Cloak of Light] would not help. Trying to fight his way out neither. So there was nothing he could do.
"Leave them alone. This was my mistake," Tsaindorcus said.
"Oh, you can still make rational choices?" Galadriel mocked him.
"This was my mistake. Perhaps I could pay the offence back with this," he said, showing up the World Item [Hel Shackles] to her. Now, this was a surprise to Galadriel. To give away a World Item, just like that. Perhaps he was thinking of something else. And she didn't know.
Giving away such an item will cost me greatly. But it will give us time to adjust. To think about what to do next. Besides, there is no way I can get out of this with my head intact. She could destroy me and I will not only lose my Armor but the World Item, regardless. The Dragon Lord thought deeply.
Tsaindorcus could also feel the glares of the Witch Queen on him. If he dares to move one finger, they would kill him. He has no way to move out of this situation without losing.
It was the same thing Galadriel was thinking. She knows the Dragon Lord has no way out. She could destroy him and take the item, regardless. But by doing so, she could lose a pawn. She needs to learn more about the Dragons in this world. And to find out where they are, and if they possess any other World Item.
And among all of that brainstorming, both Dragon Lord and Galadriel were having. Both were overthinking and leaving aside crucial points. Galadriel thought about just taking the Dragon Lord to Nazarick to torture him. However, Galadriel did not know about the armor being just an empty casket. There was nothing inside of it. That was a very crucial point for both of them. The Dragon Lord believe the Ancient One knew about his armor. Or suspected it.
Tsaindorcus needed his armor. If he lost it against her now, he would have to face her with his full body. Something he was sure was not a good idea of doing.
So both of them were trying to play chess in the dark. Except that Tsaindorcus was playing on the floor and Galadriel was playing Uno. Their intelligence was over the roof.
"I could just kill you and take it from you," Galadriel said, trying to think ahead of him.
"Things aren't what it looks like. My duty is to protect the world from anyone," The Dragon Lord said.
Galadriel wanted to slap him in the face every time he said that. But kept her cool. Still, she wondered where was he going with this. She glances around and saw the members of the Slane Theocracy approaching her. They were not a problem for her. Among everyone here, The Black Scripture were just tools. They will prove themselves useful for her. But it was this annoying Dragon Lord the problem. And not because he was powerful. But because of the information, he could provide. However, the idea of just killing him was sounding attractive to Galadriel.
"But I have realized how misguided I was by attacking you. Perhaps we could reach an agreement," he said, hoping she would take the bait.
Galadriel stared at him as he was an illusion. As he was just a comedian. Pandora's Actor was wondering if he might pulverize the Dragon Lord's limbs.
"Perhaps I should just kill him," Galadriel thought.
But as she was thinking of that. Evileye thought of something, an idea, something dangerous, but perhaps the only way for them to avoid death. Maybe even Rigrit could add more.
"Please Ancient One, forgive us!" Evileye exclaimed.
Galadriel glared at the small masked girl, wondering what was she thinking about.
"What would I do that child?" Galadriel asked.
Evileye glared at her, exhaling deeply she spoke with determination.
"A long time ago, I fought The Evil Deities besides one Player… He became one of the strongest person I have known. He told many histories about you. About your power. About how cruel can you be against your enemies. But how kind and just you can be too! He told me you could become our greatest ally or our biggest enemy," Evileye said.
Those comments took Galadriel by surprise. She wondered about what did that kid told them about her. What else did he tell them?
"Tell me, what did that kid told you about me?" Galadriel asked.
"Well… That you were a… Ehm? Hardcore Player? Something about winning Raids and World Championship?" Evileye stammered.
This amused Galadriel. She knew about how the kid saw her. But to hear how much he spoke about her was embarrassing. But a part of her was glad about this. That kid and she only spoke once, but it seems she made quite the impression on him.
"He told us how…" Evileye got silence. Then a memory came to her mind. A small remembrance of a small talk she had with the Black Knight.
She is incredible, but I feel sad about her. The last time I saw her when she gave me these swords. She looked so sad. Like something was missing in her life. Or worse yet, something left. I don't know but; she was someone who loved and care for her friends. Like, really, the way she talked about them. She truly loved them. Perhaps more than herself.
Those words came to Evileye's mind. Alone? The Ancient One? She thought.
"He told me, that… You loved your friends more than yourself. And that he was sad for you, he could see how lonely you were," Evileye said.
"I know little about your past. But I know loneliness is horrible… I know how it is to lose everything and everyone dear to me! It's terrible, no one should experience something like that ever!" Evileye yelled.
The silence that came after Evileye's words was eating everyone. Like something took the air out of the place, leaving behind only a bittersweet feeling of depression. Pandora's Actor was angry for them to bring something like the feelings of abandonment that his lady suffered. But a part of him felt sad for her, too. Even after all this time, Galadriel still cared for them.
"So please, forgive us! We did not intend to do this!" Evileye said, kneeling before Galadriel. Lakyus and the rest did the same.
Galadriel felt the energy leaving her body. She was suddenly tired of this. She sighed, looking at the girl with the white mask still kneeling before her. She glanced at the Dragon Lord, who was still on Pandora's Actor watch. The Demon Empress should have known better than letting her feelings out in the open. Talking to that kid was a mistake. Or so Galadriel thought.
"So unnecessary… And annoying," Galadriel whispered.
Talking about her guildmates brings a sense of depression to her. Galadriel wanted to leave this place.
"You really made things harder for me. I should have known better. Speaking with that kid was a mistake. But it late for regrets. It late for all of that," Galadriel said.
For a moment, Galadriel was only going to take the World Item and leave them alive. The plan was a success. They know she was awake now. The words would spread out to the world. And the next stage would set in slowly. She now knows about the power of the Dragon Lord and what Wild Magic could do. There was more to experiment for sure, but she knows more than before.
World Items were in this world. And she needed to tread carefully. Galadriel would have to make sure the Guardians had one at all costs. She needed to look at the list of World Items she left at the Treasury and categorize them from the most dangerous to the harmless. She had the Twenty for sure, but there were more out there.
Galadriel glared at all of them. This day has become a very long one. There was no need for her to do more. She lost all energy.
It would surely throw them off.
The Dragon Lord could see how those words impacted the Ancient One deeply. This could be a good thing for them. They could use the memories of Ancient One friends to coerce her to lower her defenses. Tsaindorcus thought about the possibility of taking advantage of her. How? He did not know.
"I'm tired, I need to rest a bit," Galadriel said to the Witch Queen.
Pandora's Actor sighed, already thinking of what could he do for his lady. He hated seeing her like this. The words and memories of the past Supreme Beings were still an open wound for Galadriel. The little masked girl monologue about the past, just save the life of the Blue Roses and the Dragon Lord. Not because it touched Galadriel's heart. But because it killed any desire to continue acting.
However, for everyone there, Evileye's words were shattered by The Dragon Lord who thought he could push for more reactions of Galadriel. To find more weaknesses.
"There is no reason for us to fight anymore," the Dragon Lord said.
"Just think about your friends. The colleagues of the past. Do you think they would accept the way you are behaving?" The Dragon Lord's words cut through the place. Like daggers in the night. But he was not over. Not at all, Tsaindorcus was going to say more.
"Don't you think they left you because of that? This is a wonderful opportunity to make things right!" He said with a condescending voice. Tsaindorcus thought this could be a splendid moment to teach something to the Ancient One. To get a hold of her mind. Perhaps he could even get close to her as a friend. Sadly for him, his fate was sealed.
Everyone felt a sudden drop in temperature. They were unsure if it was magic or just fear. Rigrit felt the blood almost out of her body the moment she saw The Ancient One face. The pure rage on her face. The hatred she saw was something Rigrit has never seen in her life.
Tsa, you fool! You utter fool! Rigrit thought in panic.
Pandora's Actor held him tightly. His appearance as the Witch Queen was losing focus. But he was keeping together, but only barely. He stared at his lady, and although he saw anger and fury. He saw hurt and sadness. And it was not because of the Dragon Lord's words entirely. But because of the deep feelings inside of Galadriel. Pandora's Actor heard the many times his lady would weep near the statues of her friends.
Wondering if she was at fault for them leaving. It was a sore point to her. But to hear a nobody say those words to her. Like he knows her. Like he understands, but more importantly to tried to control her with the memories of her friends. Was something beyond what anyone would tolerate.
"You dare… You dare… You filthy little lizard. You fucking dare to speak of my friends as if you knew them!"Galadriel did something she was not a fan of. She screamed.
"HOW DARE YOU?! YOU FILTH! YOU SCUM OF THIS WORLD! I WILL DESTROY EVERYTHING YOU ARE! ALL OF IT!"Galadriel's voice resonates with the place. The people next to them, the poor girls of Blue Roses and the Slane Theocracy were shaking. The anger, the fury. The raw power emanating from her. Was almost visible.
"[Arcane Mighty Prison]" Galadriel almost yelled.
A chain made of light surrounded the body of the Dragon Lord. Then another, and another. He could not move, and the moment he tried to use his abilities to escape his prison. The Witch Queen used [Silence Among Sheeps] And ability capable of canceling any spell from the opponent. It only lasted a few seconds, but was enough for his lady.
Galadriel grabbed the head of the Dragon Lord.
"[Demonic Hell Corrosion]"
From Galadriel's hands, a dark mist enveloped the body of the Dragon Lord. The red corrosion was destroying the armor slowly. Rigrit and the rest were watching in horror.
"Please stop!" Rigrit yelled, but it was too late.
Far away, Tsaindorcus was thrown away from his connection with his armor. He let a yell of frustration, knowing that he just lost not only the last line of defense. But a World Item too.
"Nothing?" Galadriel whispered, seeing how the armor was empty.
"A casket? A marionette perhaps?" The Witch Queen said. The rest of the people there could not move. Evileye stared at the armor, or what they left of it on the ground. What just happen?! Why would he say something like that?! Evileye thought in panic.
"We will speak about this later. Pick up the item and keep it close," Galadriel murmured.
The anger was still in her veins, but Galadriel was just tired at this point to continue. Mental exhaustion was really something awful. But now, she could end things.
"Such a waste of time," she whispered.
"You, human, come here," Galadriel said while pointing at the captain of the Black Scripture.
The poor captain approached her fearfully. He was still glaring at the unconscious body of Zesshi. One hit. Only one hit and she was defeated. He thought.
"Go back to your nation. Tell them, that Galadriel Melkor is awake. Tell them what you saw today. All of it," Galadriel said without caring too much about anything else.
"You will do the same girl," Galadriel said while pointing her finger to the scared blonde girl with scary eyes.
"I want everyone to know that soon, they would see my wonders! Those who kneel to me, would be rewarded! Those who defied me, eliminated! I am absolute!" Galadriel said with the last of her energy.
"And you little girls… I will spare you lives, for now…" Galadriel glared at Lupusregina and Narberal, who were with her Doppelgänger. She glanced at them, enough to let them know to keep up with the act.
"This is my word for all of you! Nothing will stop me!"
"Gate!" She yelled loud enough for Shalltear to frantically open a way for her lady back to Nazarick.
Galadriel did waste time to get back to her room. She took her clothes off and threw herself to her bed. With a loud sigh, she went to sleep.
There was going to be a lot of work for her once she wakes up. A lot of it
