🕑 Added 2024-04-08 16:41:06 +0000 UTC“I ran this place three times, but no more demi-gods.” Desaray was a little disappointed. What she did notice though, was that her dungeons were not limited to different dungeons, but she could actually do the same dungeon over and over and was able to complete this part of her quest. The only sad part was that her level did not go up at all.
“Desa.” Juna’s root suddenly appeared at Desaray’s feet.
“What’s wrong?” Desaray knew Juna would not bother her unless there was an issue so she had a feeling something major was up.
“I have formed a truce with the Demon Queen of Darkness. There is a reason for this, and I think it would be best to have a meeting with her.” Juna replied. She then began to explain the details, which made Desaray frown.
“Let me leave the area of the arachnid people. Then teleport me to the meeting place.” Desaray made her way over to where she could meet the village elder, gave her thanks, tossed a token to her, and told her that if she ever needed anything to use the token to enter the kingdom to visit her.
After she left, she arrived just outside the ice wall she had built and was soon wrapped in a root and taken to her destination. When she arrived, she found both the Demon Queen of Darkness and the Demon Queen of Death sitting there waiting for her. But she quickly noticed that something was wrong with the Demon Queen of Death. “What happened to her?”
“She was heavily injured and is still recuperating.” The Demon Queen of Darkness replied.
“I see. So what does the Demon Queen of Darkness wish to do?” Desaray asked. She had to stand almost a hundred feet away in order to not harm the two of them.
“We want to take down that man. You know the saying from your world, the enemy of my enemy is my friend? You can think of it like this. While we may be enemies, this man is a threat to both sides. If we do not work together, how will we be able to live if this man decides to try to take over the entire world?” The Demon Queen of Darkness answered. Desaray fell into thought. From what she understood, this man’s aura was enough to suppress these two. This meant that man was powerful. Very powerful.
“You said he called himself this god?” Desaray asked.
“Yes. He kept saying this god that and this god this. It was very annoying.” The Demon Queen of Darkness replied.
“I see. If that is the case, we can probably think of him as a god, which would mean we are both pretty useless unless we can gain strength quickly. Hmmm… If I can find one more demi-god, then I can evolve again. Looks like I will need to crash that beehive.” Desaray could only hope to find another demi-god in a lower-level dungeon.
“A demi-god?” The Demon Queen of Darkness raised an eyebrow. She was confused but was suddenly hit with a realization. “Wait, you said one more? Does this mean you have killed a demi-god already?”
“Yeah, it was a fun fight. Took a long time, though. That bastard could regenerate its limbs almost instantly. I had to wait for his power to drain in order to kill it.” Desaray really did have a lot of fun in that fight. It had been a long time since she could fight to her heart’s content.
“I… I see…” The Demon Queen of Darkness did not know if she could beat a demi-god. She wondered just how strong this ice dragon was.
“Then, Demon Queen of Darkness, if you are forming a truce with us, this means you will need to be under a contract. The both of you.” Desarasy turned serious. She wondered if this demon queen realized that there was no way in hell she could be trusted.
“Contract?” The Demon Queen of Darkness furrowed her brow. She had not been expecting this.
“Yes, contract. I will stick an ice needle in both of your hearts. As long as you do not do anything to break the truce, I will not kill you, but if you do… I will activate the ice needle, and it will free your body from the inside out. The blood that runs through your veins will turn into ice speaks that will pierce through you from the inside out.” Desaray explained.
“And how are we to know if you will not break the truce.” The Demon Queen of Darkness did not like this idea at all.
“Because if I wanted to kill you, I would do it now. I would rather settle things peacefully. Murder is not my top priority. I do not wish to take over the world, so as long as you do not attack me or my allies, we will not have an issue. Although, we will need to make sure that any issues will be dealt with through talks instead of war. If you wish to take over land, that is fine, but send those living on it to my territory. This way, they can still live. Life in this world is scarce, and I am sure there will be more powerful people in the future. So wouldn’t it be better if we both work together in a way that benefits us both?”
