Chapter 52 Part 4) Truce (Patreon)

“Darkness what do we do? We can not defeat him.” Death was still shaken up. Her wounds were serious. If not for the Demon Queen of Darkness taking care of her she would have died.

“I do not know what to do. All I know is that that man is hundreds of times stronger than me. We only have two choices…” The Demon Queen of Darkness gritted her teeth. She hated to say this, but she was no match for that man. “We can either die or submit.”

“No!” Deaths shook her head. We still can ask her for help…. I know we are currently enemies, but that man is far more terrifying than us. If we give up on taking over the entire world and only occupy a section of land, we can make a deal with her. Then, after that man has been defeated, we just play nice for a while before continuing our conquest.”

The Demon Queen of Darkness bit her lip. Her ambition was to take over the entire world and fill it with darkness. But only she could do this no one else was allowed to take her ambition away. Death’s idea did seem like a good one. What was another hundred years or so? As long as she was alive she could once more continue with her goals. “This may work. But will she even be willing to speak with us?”

This was the main problem. The ice dragon was very powerful and hated us to the extreme. They had even killed Lust and took her body with out her being able to react fast enough. This proved the girl had her own means. But the main question was, would their powers combined even be able to deal with such a person?

“You have an interesting story.” A voice filled the air. A root suddenly sprung up from underground and a young woman stepped out of it. The root then spun around and twisted in different spots before finally turning into a chair. The young woman gracefully sat down and looked at the two who looked worse for wear. “Tell me about this man you mentioned just now.”

“You… A Nymph Princess….” The Demon Queen of Darkness couldn’t help but feel a bit of pressure from this woman. She and the ice dragon were both powerful beings. And this woman seemed to be a subordinate to the ice dragon.

“Yes, I know what race I am. And soon, I will evolve once more. But I am not here to talk about me. I am here to talk to you about what you have just mentioned. Now tell me. Who is this man you spoke about?” The young woman asked with a smile on her face. At this moment, she looked like a queen herself. Her aura was oppressive as she looked at the two injured demon queens. The only reason she was willing to appear here like this was because they were injured, and the story she had just heard piqued her interest.

“If I am to speak to anyone, it will be with your leader.” The Demon Queen of Darkness still had her pride. She was a demon queen. Why would she speak to someone of lower status than her?

“I do not think you have a right to refuse to tell me anything. Right now, your injuries make it so I can kill you easily. So either you tell me what is going on, and I can talk with my Goddess about working with you, or you can both die here and now to save a headache later on.” The young woman replied. She had the upper hand. There was no reason for a defeated demon queen to put on airs.

“You!” The Demon Queen of Darkness wanted to attack, but she was still heavily injured. When she escaped from that man, she had pushed herself to the extreme, which caused her to sustain many internal injuries.

“I know who I am, but that still does not answer my question. Now tell me who is the man you speak of.” The young woman’s eyes narrowed as she raised her hand, and hundreds of sharp, pointy roots shot up from around her and began bending and twisting their sharp tips towards the two demon queens.

The Demon Queen of Darkness couldn’t help but grit her teeth even more. For some reason everyone was looking down on her, but she had to admit the young woman sitting on the chair made of roots seemed very overbearing. Right now she indeed was not able to fight her. “I will explain everything…”

The Demon Queen of Darkness began to explain what had happened from start to finish. When she was done she looked at the young woman and asked. “So what will you do? Will you notify your master or no?”

“I will, but how long it will take for her to answer is another story. For now, we will do a temporary truce. But if any of your undead dare to attack my army here on this continent, the truce will end there and I will hunt you both down even if I have to spring roots up all over the world.”

Meanwhile said master….

“Hahaha! Cough! Ouch that hurts….” Desaray looked at the ice golem in front of her and wonder just what level it was. She could not even use appraisal on it! But she could tell one thing after fighting it for what seemed like three days and nights. The regeneration seemed to be slowing down!
