“We have arrived at the expected location!” The Black Fairy Mavros shouted as she could see the large world tree only a few kilometers away.

“They really did arrive at the expected location as said by the fairies.” Ain stated as he was in one of the locations that was pinpointed by the fairies that have come to their aid.

“A sage? What is a hermit like you doing here? Run along now fake immortal while I am still in a good mood.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she appeared before Ain.

“It seems that you are mistaken, evil fairy. I am friends with the person protecting that world tree which is why you should retreat and become good instead. Fighting against us will just be your own demise.” Ain stated as he did not want to be outshone by the Black Fairy Mavros arrogance.

“What can your small army do against me? If you do not wish to get out of the way, then you shall become fodder for my own power.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she could see that the number of individuals that are under Ain’s command was only less than a thousand. “Did you think that we are not prepared for your arrival, evil fairy?” Ain stated as he shot a talisman upwards into the sky and it created a beautiful firework.

“What do you hope to achieve with your lights?! Kill them!” The Black Fairy Mavros shouted as all of the corrupted dryads, corrupted leshies, and even the Foliage Soldiers that were remaining charged towards Ain and the ones under his command.

The armies that the Black Fairy Mavros has created already numbered to about ten thousand. Her army is also growing slowly as the evil spirits that she used to create the Forest Swamp Abomination are also being used to create more Foliage Soldiers. The Forest Swamp Abomination has already done its job of transport which is why she now needs it to become soldiers.

“Your arrogance still has no bounds, sister.” The Fairy Queen stated as she suddenly appeared along with a number of her royal guards.

It was not just the Fairy Queen that has arrived as numerous magic circles that were hidden suddenly started to get activated around the Forest Swamp Abomination. The magic circles were none other than teleportation magic circles that was installed by Adrian earlier on. The sudden arrival of reinforcements and being surrounded by them made the Black Fairy Mavros click her tongue.

“It seems that you have anticipated my arrival, sister. You must have thought of what I wanted to do. No matter… I can just bide my time and think of another way to restore my power. Return!” The Black Fairy Mavros shouted as she expected the fairy circle to activate. The fairy circle beneath the feet of the Forest Swamp Abomination suddenly lit up as the Black Fairy Mavros expected it to activate and return them to their previous destination. She had this smug look on her face as the flowers glowed, but this suddenly turned into dread when the lights that the flowers emitted dimmed down. The magic that she poured into the fairy circle suddenly vanished and returned back to her as this is a sign that the spell was cancelled.

“Going somewhere, sister?” The Fairy Queen stated as she conjured up a spear made of beautiful vines and a sharp leaf.

“You managed to control Misteltein?!” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she immediately conjured powerful barriers to protect herself.

“I waited so long for this day. I thought that it would not come as I wished that you were dead, but I can now have my revenge.” The Fairy Queen stated as she smiled beautifully but the deadly aura around her could make anyone shiver in fear.

“Pay for your sins, sister.” The Fairy Queen stated as she targeted the Black Fairy Mavros with the magic spear that she could control.

The Misteltein spear is a powerful fairy artifact that is of the Transcendent tier. It is currently in its Mythical Form as the Fairy Queen can only control part of its power currently. She was training for this moment in time as back then she could only control it in its Epic tier form. The Fairy Queen believed that she would be protected as she believed her family was always harmonious.

Little did she know that her sister would betray her and even killed some of her children. She swore on that day to harness the power of the powerful fairy spear that is said to be the weakness of all natural and unnatural things. The Misteltein resonated with the Fairy Queen’s regret and desire to no longer be weak and would seek the heart of the Black Fairy Mavros.

“Cursed Shield!” The Black Fairy Mavros shouted as she immediately used a powerful curse spell that would weaken anything that touches it.

The Misteltein clashed with the cursed shield that the Black Fairy Mavros created but it was not enough. All the barriers and shields that the Black Fairy Mavros were all pierced through and destroyed as if they were paper. The Misteltein responded to its owner’s request and shot straight through the Black Fairy Mavros. One could see the right arm and wing of the Black Fairy Mavros getting destroyed instantly.

“Ugh! I missed her head.” The Fairy Queen stated as she suddenly became weak as the toll of using such a powerful artifact is not low.

The Fairy Queen utilized everything in her power to perfectly used the spear, but she still lacked a bit. She wanted to destroy the head of the Black Fairy Mavros, but she failed as she does not have perfect control when she uses all of her power. The Misteltein also vanished as soon as the Fairy Queen became weak as its power is tied to her own stamina. She is bonded with the weapon which means any strain on it would also transfer to her.

“You should have aimed for my head, sister. It was a good thing that I have a few cannons fodder around me.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she was not fazed by her broken wing and missing arm.

The Black Fairy Mavros did not actually dodge the spear by coincidence because she bought herself time. The five bodies of the corrupted dryads conjuring a barrier covering the Forest Swamp Abomination could be seen lying beneath her feet. The Black Fairy Mavros used her own followers as a shield to protect herself even though she still got hit.

“Dorn, if you want to be useful, devour those five and kill my sister for me.” The Black Fairy Mavros commanded the Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn as she shivered in the corner.

The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn could not believe what she just witnessed. She always believed that the queen that she served would never harm her followers. Back then, she saw how devoted they were to her as they even declared war against the fairy kingdom with their lives. She did not expect the queen she respected so much would use the bodies of her followers as shields to protect herself.

“Dorn! If you want to become like them then be my guest. I am trying to think of a way for us to leave here and you are there shaking in a corner. Their sacrifice was necessary for us to live on which is why you should steel yourself. They are the true enemies because they are getting in the way of my… our happiness!” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as she was actually thinking of a way out, but she was only thinking of a way out for herself.

The Misteltein has a special property and that is the ability to kill the Faekin when struck in their core. The bodies of the Fae are not their real bodies per se as dryads and leshy have a tree as a real body. The bodies that they have roaming about are merely avatars that that they use but they can also fuse with their true bodies. The fairy artifact, Misteltein, could bypass this and truly kill any Fae if their avatar’s core is directly hit as it has a special power that will transmit the damage directly to the true body of the Fae.

“I will not abandon you, my queen!” The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn stated as she suddenly stopped shaking and devoured the lifeless bodies of the other dryads.

The Corrupted Elder Dryad Dorn started devouring the dying bodies of the dryads as they were currently fused with their true bodies as well. Still, it is actually taboo among the Fae to devour each other as doing so would make natural magic run wild. There have been Fae in the past that had the ability to absorb the essence of other Fae, and they were all driven mad as devouring another of their kind would transform them into something different. Something so sinister that another Fae would never want to interact with them ever.
