Ascension of the Monster Queen

"Hey, attacking someone who is trying to protect someone they care about is just sick, especially when that person is innocent," Dalia said, releasing energy from her weapon that sent the Orc flying and she chuckled.

"Y- You are from lady Nessa's town," The son said as Dalia looked back at him and helped him up then looked at his father who was injured and sighed.

"Fall back a little, we will help in any way we can, we can use this very swamp to our advantage," She replied as he helped his father up and the chief sighed.

"Thank you very much, where is lady Nessa?" The chief asked as Dalia looked at the other Lizardmen trying to fight off the Orcs.

"Lady Nessa went to take care of another problem; it appears that we may have the same one here," She responded as another demon, similar to the one Nessa killed, appeared in the middle of the swamp, guarded by the leader of the Orcs. Upon seeing the leader, Zilrud clenched his fists and Vill tapped him on the shoulder, and he looked at her then sighed.

"We are not in this alone, if we want to win, we have to work with them," She said and he lowered his head, knowing that his wife was correct.

"What do you want us to do here, Rik? They're just standing there, doing nothing; we can't let that monster move," Dalia said, and Riki gave her a sidelong glance.

"I know, it's surrounded by dark energy as well, it won't be easy to kill from afar," He replied and Dalia gnashed her teeth as Riki lifted his sword up when the Orcs were about to attack, black and red flames engulfed his sword and he smirked as he moved fast, slashing all that was in his way while releasing the red flames, causing them to expand and engulfing the Orcs which did hurt them but he managed the flames enough to not kill them.

"This is fun, come," The chiefess said as she stood before the chief and his son and smiled back at them.

She lifted her spear in the air, drawing in the water within the swamp, forming a huge dome around a group of Orcs, trapping them within it, and before it drowned them, the chiefess began lifting the water up, forming a ball around them while lifting them up in the air, and she sighed.

She then released the water and they all fell to the ground coughing and she scoffed since she didn't kill them because Nessa didn't order them to and they also believed that perhaps they could change but if they choose not to then they will kill them.

"There are still too many," Vill said, fighting off the Orcs with her husband.

"I know, and that's only half of our problem; we also have to deal with their leader and that beast," Zilrud replied, and Vill sighed.

"Let's give it our all," Zilrud exclaimed as he attacked a few Orcs, and she smiled.

"Yeah, we have to protect our new home," She said, but then a few Orcs rushed towards her, and her eyes widened as they were about to attack her, but Yanka jumped in front of her, slashing them, and she smiled as he looked at her.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yes, I am fine, there are a lot, thank you," She responded.

"You're welcome; I'll assist you in any way I can; we can take them; we're not weak," He said as Dalia and the others approached him and formed a defensive circle with him.

"Will your people be alright?" The chiefess inquired as she gazed at the chief of the other Lizardmen, who coughed.

"Yes, they will be fine, they know what not to do and what to do, they attacked unexpectedly though," He responded.

"Yeah, we know, we didn't expect them to attack so soon as well," She said and he smiled before taking a deep breath.

"Let's go," Riki said, and wind formed around Dalia's scabbard, and she lifted it into the air. At the same time, Nessa arrived and saw them successfully fighting off the Orcs, and she smiled when Dalia pierced her scabbard into the ground, causing it to shake and crack while shooting up air, sending the Orcs flying, and Nessa chuckled.

"Damn, she's gotten stronger, I guess those I named evolved more than I thought," She said.

[Yes, these are all the gifts they received because of you lady Nessa, they know that and they are mastering them little by little, none of them has reached their full potential as yet, there is a very big gap.]

"Yeah, I can tell, well, we better help them, the sun will rise soon, and I am tired as well," Nessa added as the beast roared and Nessa jumped, then saw a massive Orc standing before a beast similar to the one she fought, and he was releasing tremendous dark energy.

[Master, this beast is stronger than the one you fought, it will take a lot to destroy it, I am not sure the others are up to the task, but you can do it, with your energy you can, use the dark flames at a higher level.]

"Got it, Isamu, want to stay or go back to town?" When Nessa asked, he looked at her.

"Where do you think I should go?" He asked and Nessa's eyes narrowed.

"I believe you should return to town with Akio; we'll handle things here, and you and him can demonstrate your abilities another time, is that okay?" He bowed his head when she asked.

"That's more than okay with me lady Nessa, I hope the time in which we can show how much we can do to help you and others come fast, we might not look like it at first but because of you we have all gotten stronger and gained pretty impressive abilities, I will go back to town and help Akio with anything I can, I will see you guys when you get back, good luck and take care, bye," He did reply as he dashed away, and she chuckled before turning to face the others.
