Chapter 42: The Elven Queen''s fall


    All bowed without any exception.


    On their knees, the elves also hit the ground with their foreheads! Their situation had been so terrible they wanted to get out of the dungeon!


    However, the dungeon was formed with part of theirnd from a different world. Giving up on it never appeared in their minds.


    To get out of the dungeon and take their home with them was their dream.


    Only one existence could free their shackles.


    And as their eyesnded on Minato with those expectations, his aura heightened, sealing and confirming his power!


    Minato repeated what he had said to Lily before, "Stand up." He exined that he was a new Overlord and that he looked toward the guidance of theirnd.


    Naturally, Minato also noticed their confusion about Lily.


    Lily had been converted into the dark elf before, so her current looks and aura didn''t match what elves knew.


    Therefore, Minato told them that he could fix that.


    "Make yourself at home, Master," The elves invited Minato into their forest.


    That forest was as beautiful as it could get.


    Each part was taken by both elves and mana. Mana here was soft and smooth, which made the wind quite tasty to inhale. The leaves shimmered with freshness, and one effortlessly would be able to fall asleep anywhere.


    Alsa, Minato noticed ws.


    No animals, no bugs, no living beings.


    Other than elves, nothing inhabited the forest.


    They were left alone to fend for themselves. Their food was either mana or what nature brought them, such as berries.


    Upon gazing into the sky, Minato also found it quite ufortable. Was that feeling due to him knowing about its falsehood?


    "Isn''t it weird that guys cry more thandies?" Minato tugged Lily''s arm.


    She didn''t find his words surprising as male elves had shown much more emotional outbursts thandies.


    That was because the male species had no way of leaving the dungeon.


    Themon knowledge was that dungeon races couldn''t leave the dungeon, but that was solely limited to the low world.


    Dungeons here were also reasonably straightforwardpared to the worlds higher than them.


    Fortunately or not, female species actually had a way of leaving the dungeon.


    "Impregnation," Lily said with bitten lips.


    If a dungeon raider or any person outside the dungeon came in and impregnated the elfdy, she would end up carrying different blood within her. That would break the seal for nine months.


    Minato''s hands unconsciously ball, and his nails dug into his skin.


    He found that hateful toward the dungeon races, but something within him utterly despised that kind of system or a w.


    However, with how the dungeon was made, Minato couldn''t really think of it as a w.


    The more he thought about this as a deliberate effect, the more he fell into hatred toward the existence known as the dungeon.


    Lily widely smiled, "But if Master takes us to his world, we will find a new ce to live! Master''s world will be flooded by other dungeon races, and we will create amunity and army for you!"


    A hot elf yet again swore her allegiance.


    Minato patted her back, then said, "Show me a way to the elven representative. It''s time to start my n."


    "Yes, Master!" Lily happily chirped and skipped her way forward.


    Minato and any other male would never tell her to slow down as those curves going up and down were a delight to one''s eyes.


    A particr wolf was about to use her paw!


    -


    s, the delight didn''tst long.


    After Minato had appeared in the dungeon race''s home and their forest, a specific w urred in the elven''s queen''s heart.


    She represented the dungeon race in the low world and was a sister to the real elven queen from the higher world.


    Her name was Ingrid.


    Ingrid''s heart hurt two times more each time the elf had fallen to the dungeon''s curse. One part of her pain was naturally due to her love toward her race, while the other was her status as the royal elf.


    That was why Ingrid swore to ovee the hatred, and she started studying that energy. s, the energy it was not, but a whole different concept no one of normal origin could study.


    It had secretly slipped into the elven queen''s heart and waited for the best moment to take over her.


    Minato''s appearance was exactly that moment!


    BANG!


    "What''s that?!" Minato eximed as the dark miasma erupted from the highest tree.


    Lily stared at the tornado enveloping the highest tree and the queen''s house, her face paling further and further, "That''s... Impossible... How? The Queen... was so naive..."


    All elves gathered around the dark miasma tornado, their reactions worse than Lily''s. Their hearts sank, and most of them kept shifting their eyes from Minato to the high tree.


    It seemed like he was their only help!


    From within Minato''s chest, two animal heads popped out.


    Bei squinted her wolf eyes andmented through Mind Whisper, avable only to Minato and Yuna, "If there''s hatred even in our world, why would she even try to touch it? How fucking stupid."


    Yuna chided her sister immediately, "Try to see her home through her eyes. You wouldn''t be able to endure years of constant battle and years of constantly losing her people to hatred. She wanted to find a way to prevent all of this and get years of earned peace."


    Bei didn''tment on that further.


    People made many mistakes in their plight.


    That was so simple, and even Bei was the same, but that often slipped out of her mind. Her elder sister''s words brought back a few unpleasant struggles and memories, silencing the vulgar princess.


    Minato replied, "Let''s meet the elven queen then."


    Amidst all elven eyes, Minato rushed forward and bravely charged into the dark miasma tornado!


    He feared no one!


    After going through the tornado, Minato found out about the elven queen, Ingrid.


    She was... halfway gone already!
