Chapter 56 Part 4) Fonta Part 2 (Patreon)

“So… What should we do? Should we kill them or not?” Desaray scratched her head. She was willing to take them out if need be. They did attack her after all, but she did not know what would happen if she did kill them.

“Yes. They are a race that needs to be wiped out. They only know how to consume. Whether you are alive or dead, they will consume your body,” Lilith replied.

“Then I will not hold back.” Desaray’s aura rose as she reached out her hand. “Absolute Zero.”

The entire area suddenly turned into an ice field. Whether it was the wood elves or the Fonta, they were turned into icy statues. Desaray knew the wood elves would not like her actions, but it was either this or risk any of the Fonta from escaping.

“Wow.” Lilith raised an eyebrow. “This kind of cold is enough to even freeze me.”

 “I don’t like using it unless I need to, mainly because the land will stay frozen. After a war with Darkness a while back, the areas I have frozen are still covered in ice today.” Desaray was only doing this as a means of making sure the Fonta would not be able to survive. “This should kill them, right?”

“If this really freezes everything to absolute zero, then yes. Although I think we have some angry long ears coming our way.” Lilith pointed at the wood elves rushing over. One of which Desaray recognized.

Desaray frowned slightly as she slowly landed in front of the group of elves who had arrived. Each one of them was making sure not to touch the ice field. “Your Holiness, while I do understand that you have helped us, you have also killed hundreds of our men!”

 “Even if that is the case, be happy that you were not overrun. The monsters you were fighting were beings not from any of our worlds but from outer space. They were beings that consumed the life on a planet to use to grow stronger. In order to make sure they were dead, I froze everyone. Sacrifices need to be made sometime. Your men would have died whether I helped or not.” Desaray replied. Making sure not to get too close to the elves.

“We know you are powerful, so why did you need to use such a powerful spell?” The elf asked. He really did not wish to argue with Desaray, but he had no choice. This was his kin!

Desaray sighed as she bowed her head. She knew she was in the wrong and should take a step back here. “I know what I did has caused you harm and has taken your soldiers from their families. But the…”

“You do not need to apologize to them.” Lilith stepped forward, pulling Desaray back. “Look. The Fonta are a race that will stop at nothing to consume you and your families no matter the age. After they tore through your entire kingdom, they would begin feasting on your flesh and bones. Nothing would remain of you. You would never get a chance to be reborn since even your soul would be consumed. What Her Highness has done, is made sure that these Fonta will never harm you or your families again. While sacrifices were made, her actions were correct. If I hear another complaint, I will make sure there are no wood elves left on this planet.”

“And who the hell…” A wood elf with a spear had turned and pointed it at Lilith as he began to yell out, only for his world to spin. The last thing he saw was Lilith drawing her massive scythe back towards her, resting it on her shoulder.

 “Anyone else wish to speak their minds here?” Lilith asked, her eyes piercing through each person there.

“Lilith, that is enough. They have a right to be angry. I can only apologize for my actions. We already have enough issues with the angels and gods. To have another with the Fonta is why I acted rashly.” Desaray once more bowed her head. “I do apologize. I might have been able to handle things differently, but time is not on our side.”

Desaray looked off in the distance. While she did use absolute zero to make sure the Fonta were dead and too keep them from spreading out, she also noticed the figure in the sky flying towards them. “Did it sense us?”

“There are too many females running around this place,” Lilith said with a frown.

Desaray nodded she noticed some of the soldiers here were also female. “You all need to return and put up a barrier around your kingdom. Do not let any females be seen by the Angel. Whether you heed my warning or not is up to you. Lilith, let’s go.”

“Do you plan to fight it?” Lilith asked, only to see Desaray shake her head.

“Not this close to a settle meant. While the wood elves might be a prideful race, I do not wish to see more people die. My actions earlier were already against my own morals. But it had to be done…”
