Chapter 54
The Brightness Dragon Lord hissed furiously, noticing how none of these attacks had any positive effect on that creature he was facing. Not even with his triumph card Earth Clone. He couldn't genuinely push back the blue giant with four arms. The Brightness Dragon Lord now fervently believes he was facing a Player. He couldn't think otherwise since only a Player could meet a True Dragon Lord power. However, he didn't know that the blue creature was not a Player but just an NPC. It didn't matter at the end of things. The Dragon Lord was being pushed by him, and he couldn't stop the blue monster attacks, yet The Brightness Dragon Lord wasn't losing faith in the battle. No, he was patient and knew it would only take more time before his armor reached its full potential.
Yet he didn't notice how someone far away smiled brightly while holding a powerful totem that would push the Dragon Lord to the edge.
It's been such a long time since I used my true power. The Dragon Lord thought angrily but still had his Dragonic arrogance written on his face. But I'll show this beast what happens when you face a True Dragon Lord!
He was a True Dragon Lord, a powerful, mighty entity capable of great things. Those pathetic players won't ever defeat him. Never him, the great Dragon Lord he thought he was. Still, he was just fighting one of Nazarick's greatest warriors. Much to his luck, he still had time to show some power that Cocytus, the Floor Guardian of the 5th floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, was anxiously waiting for. Cocytus was not afraid. No, his anxiousness came from the fact that he was now fighting a powerful being that would not die in one attack.
Cocytus had a feverish hope to show his lady what he could do; that's why he didn't stop attacking. The Nazarick Guardian roared, using one hand to slash the air itself. The Brightness Dragon Lord scoffed at the way Cocytus cut the giant rock he threw at him.
"When are you going to fight?" Cocytus demanded. "These are not the attacks I expected from a Dragon Lord."
The Brightness Dragon Lord glared at him with pure hatred. "What would you know of power, creature? I am a True Dragon Lord! Ancient and powerful! All might and without restriction in me!"
Cocytus pointed his blade at him, not bothering to look at the Earth Clone or how small he looked before him. Truth be told, Cocytus seemed minuscule next to the mountain size dragon. But for Cocytus, the Dragon Lord's size wasn't anything he was concerned about.
"Then, let me see that famous power."
The Brightness Dragon Lord hissed, the gall for such a lower creature to demand to use his true strenght. But, he wasn't surprised by such demand. Players were all the same. Errors in the pages of history that didn't deserve to be left alive. It was something that the other True Dragon Lords and he agreed upon. Players were cancer to their rich history. The Brightness Dragon Lord, just like his brethren, were still hoping of the Old times when they ruled as absolute monarchs of the world, where no one would dare to challenge their rule. How much he wishes for those times, maybe then. He would venture one more time worldwide and continue his work to spread the Dragon seed.
But for now, the Brightness Dragon has first to destroy his enemy and show everyone what happened when they challenged a True Dragon Lord.
"Then, I'll show you my wonders!"
He roared, and his copies started to imitate his actions this time. Cocytus noticed that the Dragon Lord was preparing to use his breath attack again. But it was different this time, especially since he saw how each clone was doing something different. Never allow yourself to be surprised by your enemy. Using your defense can sometimes be more deadly than an attack. Cocytus remembered his lady's words and took them to his heart.
Cocytus raised his head and stared at the Dragon Lord without fear of the decisive attack.
"[Ice Fortress]" Cocytus's skill brought forward a set of walls around him. Giant and strong. Sturdy and cold. Surrounding him with layers of ice and powerful magic would put any attack to the test. Cocytus, inside of his fortress, started to chant many defensive and offensive spells to attack quickly and decisively.
"Those clones of his are growing in size just like him. I also noticed how my attacks are not doing the same damage as before. It seems he's not only growing in size but also in defenses."
Cocytus muttered, thinking deeply about what he could do to break those sturdy scales.
Outside, the Brightness Dragon Lord scoffed, watching the icy defense. He would not be allowed it to stand any longer.
"So you hide now?! Pathetic!" He roared, and then, both of his Earth Clones launched their attack.
"[Dragon's Breath]"
While the attack was as before, now it was a combined effort of three dragons. It was devastating enough that a chunk of the mountain was destroyed without mercy. The mighty wind and the rock ripped from the ground created a sort of cannon, pulverizing anything on its path. Yet, while the potent Dragon's Breath proved a powerful adversary, Cocytus' icy wall held on. It was clear that Cocytus's upper levels gave some advantage to him for now.
But, it wasn't what Cocytus was worried about. No, at all. The Guardian of Nazarick was just waiting for the right moment to attack. Nevertheless, the outer walls of [Ice Fortress] did fall eventually, but it was something that Cocytus expected. The Dragon Lord pushes more of his power in his attack. Allowing his large lungs to cast as much wind as possible. The rock slammed onto the icy wall, breaking it slowly. It would not take long before Cocytus [Ice Fortress] broke. The Dragon Lord hissed but saw cracks on the ice wall.
Again, the Dragon Lord attacked with his tail. "[Tail's Rampage]" The Dragon Lord's copies also struck simultaneously, with the fury of an arrogant noble. He attacked viciously, like an arrogant child. He wanted to teach that player who he was and to regret the gall to face him.
"Not so brave now?! Eh?!" The Brightness Dragon Lord yelled. "Hiding behind walls?! Face me, coward, face your doom!"
The Dragon Lord waited a few moments more before preparing to push more. He raised his large pawn. "[Claw]" The Brightness Dragon Lord's large hand clashed with the last icy wall protecting Cocytus. And when he did, the Dragon Lord expected something different.
"What? That's all you can do?!" The Dragon Lord then realizes something. Why am I getting so angry? He thought before shaking his head and glaring down below.
"[Asura Wrath]"
Arrogance is genuinely the downfall of many.
Cocytus thought for a moment. There was no way the Dragon Lord would have the foresight to prepare such an attack. But it seems the Dragon Lord was so blind by his own vanity that he didn't see the danger he was in. Cocytus' spell was precisely for moments when the enemy would allow his arrogance to open up an opportunity to strike. Now that Cocytus thought about it, he has never honestly used more of his repertoire of abilities and attacks in the world they were currently in. No enemy had emerged where Cocytus's power could be needed, but now, it was different.
"[Seal of Emperor Helm]" Cocytus's arms started to shine brightly. But he wasn't done yet. Cocytus was a prideful warrior, and because of that. He'll show the Dragon Lord his power.
"What?! It's that it?!" The Dragon Lord exclaimed mockingly. It seemed the Dragon Lord didn't know yet how dangerous Cocytus truly was. In fact, if someone else besides Cocytus had been there. The battle between them might have ended already. That's why Cocytus decided to reveal himself and fight back.
Never open yourself too much, Cocytus. Be careful in how you approach your enemy.
Cocytus thought about his lady's words again and smiled. "[Heavenly Vajra]" A golden light enveloped Cocytu's primary weapon. The God Slaying Emperor Blade. Then, bringing his blade down, Cocytus's attack ripped the icy walls in front of him. The Dragon Lord saw how a colossal sword made out of light appeared before him, cutting everything in two from the sky to the ground and even the air itself.
"Wh-what?!" The Dragon Lord's arm was cut clean by Cocytus's blade. But that couldn't be real. It couldn't happen to him, never a True Dragon Lord like himself. Such a simple attack couldn't penetrate his armor. He groaned and moved backward, allowing his two clones to protect him. But that wasn't it. Cocytus wasn't finished yet.
"[Action Surge] [Second Wind]" Cocytus cast, allowing him to use another attack without wasting time. "[Murderous Wave]"
Then, all of Cocytus's four arms moved at an incredible speed, slashing anything in their path. One of the earth clones took the front of the attack, and the amount of damage it received was enough for the Brightness Dragon Lord to feel intimidated. The rampage destroyed the earth clone's arms and left wing. It wasn't enough for Cocytus yet.
"[Wave Sword: Glacial Wind]"
A powerful ice attack surprised the Dragon Lord, freezing the clone entirely.
"I-Impossible!" The Dragon Lord exclaimed, watching how his earth clone of the size of a mountain froze in place.
"It isn't impossible. It's reality!"
In response to the Dragon Lord's shock, Cocytus took advantage of this chance and brought forth another one of his swords. This time it was a shining blue sword. With the same speed as his other attacks, Cocytus slashed through the dragon's body.
"[Demonic Slash] [Ascending Sword] [Sliding Slash] [Castigation]"
Each time Cocytus attacked, the frozen earth clone seemed to lose a part of itself, like a broken mirror slowly falling apart. Even after Cocytus stopped attacking, the clone remained utterly frozen. However, after a few seconds. The clone shattered into millions of pieces, and nothing of the large earth Dragon Lord clone was left. When he finally noticed what happened. The Dragon Lord screamed in rage. His voice echoed across the entire battlefield.
"More, I'll show you the strenght of Nazarick and my lady's resolve," Cocytus declared. "[Laten Power] [True Damage] [Gore Cross] [Composure]"
"You believe the earth is on your side?" Cocytus asked while his body seemed to hold different shades and auras. "There's nothing my weapons can't cut through. Nothing that my weapons can't taste, no flesh is saved from me, and they're mad for Dragon blood."
"Such insolence!" The Dragon Lord yelled as he went on the offensive again.
"Come here!"
"[Claw]" The Dragon Lord's attack clashed with Cocytus's sword, and for a brief moment, it pushed the Guardian back.
But that wasn't enough for Cocytus either. The Guardian of Nazarick quickly jumped in front of the True Dragon Lord. Cocytus wanted to retaliate against the Dragon Lord's insolence and vanity with his weapons. All of them. As soon as the first attack hit its mark, he immediately followed with three more attacks. Each slash tore away a piece of the Dragon Lord's flesh. Blood flew everywhere and splashed onto the ground below.
"Impossible! M-My armor should protect me!" The Brightness Dragon Lord exclaimed, shocked by how those swords seemed to cut deep into his scales.
"If your power grew by how large your ego was. It would be impossible for me to defeat you. But that's not the case. The only thing that shows is how weak you are and how strong I am."
The True Dragon Lord let out a loud cry of frustration and fury.
"How dare you mock me?! Me! The Brightness Dragon Lord, one of the strongest among the Dragons and the most beautiful!"
Cocytus did not expect such words. Truly, what a view for everyone to see; it was disappointing to listen to the Dragon Lord pathetically lose his composure and act like a spoiled child before an enemy like Cocytus. A serious warrior who wishes to fight to the bitter end if necessary. Cocytus could only scoff at such behavior. Nevertheless, the battle was raging, and Cocytus was just starting.
If the opponent's ego is clear to you, then arrogance is your weapon. Use it against him, pull him down from the mighty cloud he believes is his throne. Mock him, insult him at every turn. Once you do that, you'll see all the weakness in your enemy.
Galadriel, Cocytus master, was a master in PvP and knew many tricks to get the upper hand. Sometimes, a powerful weapon or spell wasn't needed it. That's why knowing how Dragons were back in Yggdrasil and in the lore of many histories. Galadriel taught her guardians to use cheap tricks like this one in order to win a battle.
Cocytus would use that advice now.
Again, the Dragon Lord's claw met Cocytus's sword. The sound of steel hitting nails was surprising, and so was the small explosion of air that caused their strenght.
"Yes, yes. Your arrogance is clear to see. And your incompetence in a battle. It seems as if you have never fought in your long pathetic life."
With each word spoken by Cocytus, the proper form of his opponent became clearer and more defined. The Brightness Dragon Lord had heard so many slurs before. He was a True Dragon Lord, such nonsense as this from a low-life being like a Player was an insult to him. He claimed to be of high standing in this world. Even more annoying was that his opponent was right about him being arrogant. After all, the Dragon Lord did not need a reminder of who used to rule the world ages ago.
"...I will crush you!" The Dragon Lord roared.
He took two steps forward and charged at Cocytus. The Guardian of Nazarick readied himself for another clash. If the Dragon Lord wanted to fight seriously, then Cocytus was ready to give everything he had.
The Dragon Lord forgot for a moment his other earth clone. He appeared to be too enraged to pay attention to those details. Cocytus's word did their job, or perhaps it was something more. Maybe, a certain Guardian made sure to use an item that would drive the Dragon mad in anger, but that's something Cocytus didn't know yet. The Guardian of Nazarick readied himself for another clash. If the Dragon Lord wanted to fight seriously, then Cocytus was ready to give everything he had. His mind raced as he thought of how best to deal with his foe.
The Dragon Lord attacked furiously with his paw, tail, and teeth. The fury in his eyes did not surprise Cocytus, nor did the relentless barrage of power behind those attacks.
"Insect! Putrid Player!" The Dragon Lord roared. "I shall destroy you here and feast upon you!"
"[Tremor Skull]" The Dragon Lord brought his paws down towards Cocytus, who move not.
"[Iron Physique] [Crouch]" Cocytus's body and defenses were enough to hold back the attack, and while it took damage. It was immediately healed thanks to one of Cocytu's passive skills [Quick Rebound].
The Dragon Lord sneered but soon attacked again. "[Abominable Boulder Cut]"
Those were strange attacks that Cocytus had never seen before. Still, he prepared for them like always. The side of the mountain was nonexistent by that point. Whatever beauty it was lived there was gone, and only destruction remains. The Dragon Lord noticing his attacks were having the effect he believed, decided to bring forth his last large attack.
"To believe a low being like yourself has pushed me to this point," The Dragon Lord said hissingly. "I should have expected nothing less from a Player."
Cocytus didn't reply to those accusations.
"I shall show you the power only a Dragon Lord has! The power of a God!"
I would have to use some of my souls for this. After such a long time, it seems that I indeed have come to this. The Dragon Lord thought, allowing a moment to reflect on his actions as of late. He was a scholar. Not even during the height of the Eight Greed Kings did Dragon Lord bother to intervene against them. But the Brightness Dragon Lord knew that Players were dangerous, but he wasn't one to jump into action like some of his siblings. But something about today changed his perspective. A wave of anger emerged inside him, watching one of them attack him in his own home.
I am still an arrogant Dragon Lord. He thought, with a sigh, watching the player below him. "I shall end this."
Then, to Cocytus's surprise, the Dragon Lord started to eat his clone, and by doing so, he grew in size. Cocytus knew then that the Dragon Lord's final attack was coming.
Don't forget, Cocytus. You're not alone.
Cocytus then sensed some people just above him.
"Cocytus! You fought all by yourself!" Shalltear, just like many of them, was waiting for a moment to prove herself worthy of her lady's love and trust. It was supposed to be their first raid together, but Cocytus seemed to be the only one doing the fighting.
"Well, we did take a long time making sure no one else was around," Aura muttered, watching the Dragon Lord before her, intrigued as to what he was doing.
"Sorry, it seems I forgot all of you were here with me," Cocytus said, looking behind.
"Argh!" Shalltear moaned loudly. "What do we do know?"
"It's okay, stupid!" Aura replied. "We must now focus on doing this together, right? All coordinated as we practice."
"Uh-uh, he seems to be burning," Mare pointed out, and everyone then saw how the Dragon Lord, who already ate his own clone, was burning from the inside out. Since the Brightness Dragon Lord was now full size and looked made out of stone and dirt. The fire turned into lava, and his scale transformed into a burning rock. The Dragon Lord looked now like a sort of living volcano.
"That's impressive," Shalltear admitted, tilting her head and watching the Dragon Lord engulfed in fire. "Is this his Wild Magic?" She wondered.
"Maybe," Aura replied.
"Regardless, we must defeat him now," Cocytus declared as the rest finally smiled, sensing that they would put into work what they had already practiced.
This time, he would take advantage of the fact that the Dragon Lord didn't realize yet that he was fighting someone other than himself. The Dragon Lord's power wouldn't have any effect at all on the Guardians. Not entirely, especially since Mare was there with them, ensuring his abilities to protect them, which he was already doing.
In addition, if things go wrong, Mare could always cast a spell to create a shield for the others or even to save Cocytus from the worst of the Dragon Lord's attacks. After all, the young Dark Elf was way more powerful than the Dragon Lord itself.
"Pathetic, so more scum came here," the Dragon Lord hissed. "More Players came to this world again. It seems that it was always destined to happen again. Ha! He was right... especially knowing what he knows."
The Dragon Lord stared at them, his body burning, and everything around him, the trees, the valley that once held life, started to burn. The guardians looked at him at the immense size of the burning Dragon Lord.
"I didn't spend many centuries by myself doing nothing," The Dragon Lord stated, spreading his large wings made from melting rock. "You're witnessing the power no mortal would ever achieve."
"Oh?" Shalltear asked sarcastically as she stared at him without fear in her eyes, smiling slightly as her eyes narrowed slightly in annoyance. "You know what? I don't think you'll have much power left after we kill you."
Shalltear using her legendary class armor, was prepared for anything, and she wasn't the only one.
Aura, Mare, and Cocytus were standing without fear, ready to fight as a team as they were supposed to from the beginning.
The dragon lord roared as his body turned into a massive fireball that swirled around him in flames to destroy everything in his path. His burning body started to throw fireballs in every direction, incinerating everything in its path. It seems that he had just become a walking volcano, a powerful one.
"It's twice as bigger as Gargantua!" Aura exclaimed, a bit surprised. But smirked widely.
"Let's show the power of Nazarick!"
With that said, the four charged forward, attacking the Dragon Lord before he could unleash another wave of destruction upon the land.
The combined strenght of the four guardians of Nazarick was perhaps overkilling, all things considered. The Brightness Dragon Lord's most potent attack made him into a living burning core, melting everything in his path. A walking burning storm of fire and ashes. No human could stop him in that form. The Dragon Lord was a force of nature that had not stopped.
Yet, before him, those four entities that he believed were players. Suffered nothing while being nearby.
"[Ice Field] [Ice Pilars]," Cocytus cast, waiting for his colleague's spells.
"[Rising Shot]" Aura's primary choice of weapon was capable of performing the Dragon Lord's burning armor, showing that nothing could stop their attacks. At that moment, the Brightness Dragon Lord thought that his recklessness cost him greatly. If he had just played it slow, he could have grown more and increased his armor. But in his arrogance, he was blinded to it.
"Shalltear, you're not truly useful here against him. Just try to keep it in place!" Aura yelled, smiling at the insulted face of Shalltear.
"Of course, I can help! He has only armor, not much Magic Resistance!" Shalltear yelled back, clearly offended.
"Then use some of your abilities, so Mare can use his powerful spell!" Aura yelled back.
"I know! I know!" Shalltear screamed at her. "[Resist Break]"
Mare, who was flying all the way up and casting a high-tier spell, noticed how the Dragon Lord stopped moving. He wondered why that would be but decided to ignore it.
"[Aurora Star]"
The Dragon Lord only stared up and watched something similar to a star come down in his direction. It seems like a sphere of light, and the power brought down made him reflect on his life.
"He's still alive, eh?" Shalltear muttered, watching how a part of the Dragon Lord was no more. Yet, the walking volcano of a dragon was still there.
"His health bar was surpassing the limits, just like that magic tree of before," Mare pointed out as everyone nodded.
"Then, we need to keep attacking," Cocytus said. "This time, let's coordinate better. Let's use that formation we practice!"
"Oh! Can I attack first?! Please?!" Shalltear implored, like a five-year-old child.
"Alright, you can," Cocytus said, making Shalltear squeal with joy.
The Dragon Lord couldn't do anything else but watch helplessly. In contrast, they did whatever they wanted, and he knew that the Guardian's strength was greater than his own.
Still, the Dragon Lord thought deeply about his past life, all the lovers he had, and all the children he sired.
In the last moments of my life, I acted differently from what I am known for. I wonder why my behavior was euphoric, filled with anger and ego. Interesting, maybe they cast something I didn't realize. Shame.
Attack after attack, he realized that he was going down. At this rate, he'll lose. And the Dragon Lord knew he was about to die. But his pride wouldn't allow him to give up without trying everything. So, deciding to go with a bang, with his dignity intact.
"I see now... why he hated you so much. Players are truly the end of this world... so, that's why, even in my dead. I'll show you the mighty fire of a dragon."
The Brightness Dragon Lord would melt his core and heart and show them what an explosion truly was. All of the souls would be used.
My roar would cross the skies and reach every land across the world.
"[Nova Core]"
Dark flames erupted from the Dragon Lord's mouth. A massive amount of energy was gathered inside of him and then unleashed through his body. His skin glowed red, and even his scales became molten lava.
The Dragon Lord looked at the mountains that once held so much life. The dry rivers were empty with no water. The burning forest was killing the last remaining survivors-those poor deers. Only the corpses remained behind, but even those were burnt to the core. No animals or birds flew here anymore. Nothing could survive in this hellish place anymore. He honestly had it all.
Such a shame. This place was beautiful.
It was too late when he felt his mind slipping away. Ah, I would have loved to see that child of mine. Yeah, what a shame. There was only darkness ahead. Soon, he'd see nothing again.
Mare could recognize the intensity of whatever the Dragon Lord was doing while they possessed World Items. His lady told him to retreat if he believed there was danger.
Aura sensed the same thing. She was surprised, thinking that the Dragon Lord might still have a surprise for them.
"What is he doing?" Shalltear wondered, watching how the Dragon Lord started to melt down.
"I don't know," Cocytus said but wasn't worried.
He didn't understand what was happening either. Why was the Dragon Lord melting? Did it mean that his powers as a Dragon Lord were gone now? Was there any reason for such action besides self-destruction?
But then the Dragon Lord changed. Instead of becoming ash and dust, he turned into a sort of molt, radiating more heat than before.
Then, it happened. The Dragon Lord's body burst open. His body exploded, and everything was consumed in the fire.
The guardians were surprised by the power crossing the valley or what was left of it. It was clear that the Dragon Lord had an ace in the hole. But they weren't afraid of it.
The bright light illuminated and scorched everything. That explosion was so powerful that even the powerful Guardians of Nazarick could feel its radiance. They fall back while trying to see what type of spell the Dragon Lord used. It was scorching the air, eating it all. It grew and grew, like a small sun, forcing the Guardians to retreat. It kept on going for a few minutes, erasing all existence of that beautiful valley. Then, it all stopped and what was left was nothing but smoke in the wind. The Guardians were lucky to have World Items with them. If they didn't, that sort of attack could have been perilous. Cocytus would admit it. That last ability of that Dragon Lord was the perfect trap for anyone of them. Perhaps, it was strong enough to kill him.
But, it seems they won. The Dragon Lord was no more. Once the dust settled, they saw a large crater, still fuming with enders of what once was a valley below them. It was such an explosion that even Mare let a sigh of amazement.
"Whoa!"
Cocytus sighed happily and returned to his senses. "That was some great magic."
"Yeah..."
"But he kills himself?" Shalltear muttered, a bit annoyed that she didn't have the opportunity to fight the Dragon Lord alone, just like Cocytus.
"He seemed to recognize our strenght and knew he couldn't defeat us. So, he tried to take us with him."
Aura and Mare agreed with him. "Mmhm, I wonder if the aura he had was a part of his spell? I did receive some damage... even at this distance," Aura said.
"Mm, it must be a powerful fire spell, maybe," Mare added. "It seems that the explosion was the Wild Magic spell. But not the scorching aura he had before that... ah, I think we should speak with Demiurge and our lady about this."
"I wanted to fight him..."
"Enough sulking you!" Aura exclaimed. "We completed our quest! Let's go and tell our lady!"
"Y-yeah!"
Shalltear just sobbed while Cocytus stared at the burning crater. "It was fun."
He said as he followed his fellow guardians. One Dragon Lord was down.
Galadriel smiled brightly at them, feeling proud of their first raid. It wasn't perfect, not by a long shot. But it was clear that they understood the basics. It was now time to keep practicing until the next raid.
"I'm so proud of all of you," Galadriel stated. "You did an amazing job, and I believe you learned something today."
"My lady," Cocytus said. "I think we lack in some aspects still. We need more training if we wish to face more Dragon Lords."
Galadriel nodded, happy that Cocytus understood. "That's true. Mare, Shalltear, and Aura shouldn't have wasted that much time. You also should not have rushed the Dragon Lord by yourself. There was a lot of miscommunication during this fight. But in the end, all of you understood the concept of fighting together."
She paused for a moment and thought about what else to say. Then, Galadriel gave them one last piece of advice. "Dragon Lords are strong opponents. Perhaps, they are the only ones who truly have the power to hurt any of you. And while this one wasn't powerful enough for the four of you. Don't forget the basics. Remember who your friends are, and never lose sight of those around you."
"Yes!"
The Guardians replied.
Galadriel looked at each of them. Her eyes gleamed as she gazed upon her faithful servants. It made her feel so alive and complete.
"Now, while it's a shame we couldn't get anything from the Dragon Lord, we must be careful about those out there. We don't know which one of them could have a World Item. Always carry one in you when you're out. Albedo and Demiurge would be monitoring everything."
All the guardians nodded, taking mental notes about what they should do in the future. Yet, Galadriel realized that her work wasn't over yet.
"Well, while this was a success, we are also working on our other plans," Galadriel stated as she reflected on her plans involving the Re-Estize Kingdom. However, she also recalled the letter she received from the Emperor of the Baharuth Empire. It's surprising to see someone going so far as to pursue her to meet her. Perhaps, she should be surprised. That man was supposed to be quite charming and incredibly intelligent. But, now that Galadriel thought about it. She should go and meet him.
Never tried to outdo a Demon, human. It's going to backfire on you.
Galadriel thought, smiling brightly as she then looked at her loyal guardians.
"As the Re-Estize Kingdom sink into chaos. The Baharuth Empire shall follow suit but before that. I would like to meet this Emperor," Galadriel declared and noticed a radiant smile from Demiurge.
"Albedo, prepare the necessary for the travel," Galadriel ordered Albedo, who smiled brightly at her.
"Something convenient to travel, or something to make a sort of announcement?" Albedo asked innocently, smiling at her beloved one.
Galadriel chuckled. "I'll leave it to you, my dear. Let's show this human who I am."
"As you wish."
Galadriel saw Shallatear smiling at her, moving from one side to the next like a happy puppy. Then, she remembered that poor sweet Shalltear hadn't been properly introduced to her bed. That's something she had to fix.
Well, dear sweet Shalltear has been waiting for it long. I guess I should reward Shalltear. Mmhm, indeed. Peroroncino, I'm sorry, but I will enjoy your creation. But I think if you were here. You would have allowed it to happen. You were such a pervert.
Galadriel thought with glee as she smiled at the memories of her old friend.
"Let's enjoy ourselves first."
