"That's all for the report, almost all the girls who managed to escape went insane, our guards found them spread throughout the forest,"

"And?"

Even though the spy, who was kneeling in front of the figure sitting on the throne with an angry look on her face gave a fairly satisfying report, she wasn't aware of their queen's greed.

This queen who was looking at everything while sitting on her throne with a haughty look was none other than Eldora herself.

It was rather easy to identify her with the scar on her face which started from her forehead and went until her jawline. It couldn't hide her beauty but still for a maiden like her, that big of a scar is like a mortal enemy so she covered half of it but it was still visible through the mask she was wearing.

"Most of them witnessed that a monster attacked them, causing them to get wiped out, and the report says that cursed duchesses Ubela, Nafina, and Ibalina all died on the battlefield,"

With that, her report concluded but still, the authoritative figure in front of her didn't look satisfied at all.

"Prepare a rescue team, Ibalina is alive, I want everyone to find her right now," After thinking for a little bit about the best action she can take, the queen stood up from her throne and looked at the person next to her.

*Bammm

Suddenly, she used her elbow to deal an uppercut to that person and started beating her up with a creepy face.

She didn't stop for a minute even though the person below her legs writhed in pain with dark black colour blood coming out of her head but she had no reaction on her face showing she wasn't a normal dark elf.

"Damn it, It's all your fault, It's because of you I have to go through all this, I'll kill you," She kept stepping on that person until Eldora quickly came back to her senses like she heard someone and went back to her seat.

Spy girl was sweating buckets, thinking she was going to be the next victim, but unlike what she expected Eldora said something which surprised her,

"You did good work, go back and question all the girls, and find what happened to humans," The last thing she anticipated hearing from their queen was this. As soon as she beat up her guard, it seemed as though all of her anger had abruptly evaporated.

As soon as the spy girl left, Eldora looked at her guard, who was all beaten up thanks to her anger, and wondered what this monster was that attacked her girls. If there was a monster that is powerful enough to defeat all the three cursed duchesses, she wanted to tame that monster quickly.

"Looks like I can't stay here anymore, I can't let my girls die,"

Even though how she got her power and what she had to do to obtain something vile like cursed magic remained a secret, it was a well-known fact among dark elves that, Eldora really cared about the number of dark elves in her race, so damage like this was a huge disappointment to her.historical

Under her orders, everyone got ready to rescue Ibalina, who was believed to be alive because of Eldora's words and none of them doubted it because they knew she could feel the connection through the cursed magic as long as the bud remains in their body. Eldora had the ability to use cursed magic to its full extent just like a cursed doll.

All the rescue operations went on for a whole week, but none of them managed to find even the remains of Ibalina's body for some reason. Even though Eldora managed to tell she was alive, she couldn't exactly pinpoint an area, so the rescue operations halted and all the dark elves got ready for their biggest war yet.

Even though the number of dark elves got blasted because of Nikol's attack, they still managed to sum up an army amounting to 5000 without counting monster puppets and transformation dolls.

Ibalina was the only cursed duchess who could make transformations, but Eldora managed to do it better than her since she was the one who introduced that method.

She could have easily obtained better results, but she wanted someone else to learn this technique hoping their race would survive and improve this technique to create a perfect dark elf with both brains and reproductive processes.

"That monster, who easily wiped out my girls, I will either kill you or make you mine, don't think you can escape from me after all this,"

She did manage to squeeze out some more pieces of information from the girls that went insane thanks to Nikol's attack.

They described Nikol as a human-figured monster but none of them managed to tell how exactly he looked like thanks to his blood-stained face, even though most of them couldn't forget those eyes with a purple colour gaze which looked extremely cruel in their point of view, but for some girls in human and elf race, that look was enough to drive them crazy by how handsome he was.

It was really a strange thing how these two parties saw him in two different lights.

It was a weird change when Nikol arrived in this strange land, he didn't have that colour in his eyes and his body wasn't the most ideal one but now his improvements made him look like a totally different person with the same facial features.

While dark elves were getting ready for their biggest war, Nikol and the girls went back to the elf kingdom but, Nym was so busy keeping everyone in her grasp without letting the curse take control of them.

Even if the alliance group couldn't catch many dark elves to use for the task of exchanging the curse, Nikol managed to question Ubela, who is now a prisoner under Zenda's division.

"Zenda, what happened yesterday? You look disturbed," Getting close to her new best friend, Lydia questioned noticing how grim and dark her face looked.

"It's Nikol, he's not the same anymore," She said in a disappointed voice.

"What did he do?"

Lydia already knew about this since even after a week, he didn't look like his previous self. Instead, he easily got irritated when someone disregard his orders and acted on their own.

Even though he didn't raise his hand against girls, he verbally destroyed them and broke their spirit showing how useless they are without him.

"He used himself as a test subject, we wanted to see whether Ubela can use cursed magic or not since she fought close range with us, but Nikol kept beating Ubela until she had to use cursed magic in pain," Zenda explained what happened.

"But when he saw Ubela was unable to use cursed magic, he started to beat her again more furiously, If we didn't use Nym's magic, she would have been killed by him,"

Lydia carefully listened to her story. Both of them went silent for a minute remembering good old days, Nikol used to be so lovey-dovey with them.

"Lydia, do you think we can go back to our normal relationship?"

There was an awkward pause before she answered, as both of the didn't know the answer to that question.

"I don't know, I want to meet fairy to question why she did this to us, you might be a faithful believer who doesn't question anything but I'm not,"

Lydia said with a motivated look.

They managed to reach the kingdom before, Eldora aborted the mission to find Ibalina so, they had enough time to get ready for another war with their perfect defence called the heavenly wall, but at that time none of them knew the wall that was supposed to be impossible to break had a rather large hole in it, thanks to Nikol.

As soon as they arrived at the kingdom, Zenda felt her whole face going pale seeing the huge hole but, seeing no damage to the other part, she knew this wasn't something done by an enemy.

"Usha, did you talk with Nikol?"

Eva, who was being carried by Emily questioned. she gained consciousness back after a few days and right now she was recovering from all the damage, but seeing all the damage to both races and Nikol's change, she felt like their whole destiny is changing.

"I did, don't worry, he won't leave us," With a smile, Usha said that, but deep inside she was burning with worry and sadness.

"That's good then, we should get ready quickly to do what Nikol asked us to do," she didn't know the full information, so she thought everything will go back to the way it was before all this.

Another thing that worried Eva was, even after she got her consciousness back, Nikol never came to visit her which surprised her a lot and broke her heart, but being the tough warrior she is, Eva didn't want to worry about mundane things like that.

Normally, when they enter the city, most of them would hear cheering sounds but this time, they heard nothing like that as most of the people watched everything with interest and especially looked at Nikol. Even though they were looking at him hoping, he would say something Nikol didn't even react to their voices and kept walking.

Tisha was near the front door of the mansion to welcome them, but Nikol ignored her and went back to his room and closed the door without letting anyone enter it.

*Sigh

"Looks like we have a tough time ahead of us," Tisha muttered as she went to meet her girls and help them to do all the remaining stuff and look after the injured.
