Chapter 244 Heroine's Natural Enemy 2
The further she walked, the more she could sense the tension in the air. It was subtle at first, but growing with every passing moment. The spirits here were afraid, terrified of something far greater than Nyx herself. And then, from the corner of her eye, she saw her—Fairy Queen Elysia.
She was breathtaking.
Standing among the vibrant trees that shimmered with iridescent light, Elysia was the epitome of ethereal beauty. Her jade-colored hair flowed like a waterfall, cascading over her shoulders and down her back, shimmering in the Spirit World\'s otherworldly light. She wore a silver gown that hugged her body, reflecting the soft light around her, making her appear almost divine.
Her skin was smooth and flawless, her eyes a radiant emerald green that seemed to see everything.
Fairy Queen Elysia held herself with regal grace, her wings—translucent and sparkling—fluttering behind her like delicate butterfly wings. There was a soft aura of light around her, as if the very air itself celebrated her presence.
Nyx smiled, "Elysia," she said,"It\'s been a while."
In her previous reincarnation, she did met Elysia few times.
The Fairy Queen\'s eyes narrowed as she stepped forward, her wings lifting slightly, ready to strike. "Evil Magician," she said in a voice that was as sharp as it was beautiful. "You don\'t belong here. Your corruption is not welcome."
Nyx chuckled softly. "Oh, Elysia, I\'ve come for something far more interesting than you." She turned to the Elemental, gesturing casually with her hand. "Deal with her."
The Elemental stepped forward, its crackling energy intensifying as it prepared to face the Fairy Queen. Elysia\'s wings fluttered, her jade hair billowing around her as she summoned her power, the air around her sparkling with light and life.
Nyx didn\'t look back. She knew the Elemental would handle Elysia. Her focus was elsewhere—on the familiar energy she had been sensing all along. She moved with renewed urgency, leaving the sounds of the impending battle behind her. The further she went, the stronger the energy became, until finally, she arrived at her destination.
There, suspended by chains that glowed with ancient, ethereal magic, was a woman unlike any Nyx had ever seen.
She was naked, her body hanging limply in the air, the chains binding her wrists and ankles to the ceiling of the cavern-like space. But it wasn\'t the chains that caught Nyx\'s attention—it was the woman herself. Her skin was as white as snow, unnaturally so. Her hair, her eyebrows, even her lashes were pure white, almost glowing in the dim light.
Her eyes were closed, but Nyx knew that when they opened, they would be the same ghostly white as the rest of her.
Her entire body was devoid of color, from her hair to her skin, down to her nipples and pubic hair. She looked almost like a statue made of snow, untouched and pristine. But Nyx could feel it—the dark energy pulsing from within her, hidden beneath the surface. It was ancient and powerful, and for the first time in a long time, Nyx felt something akin to curiosity.
The woman stirred, lifting her head slightly, and when her eyes opened, they were indeed the same stark white as the rest of her. She looked at Nyx, and then, to Nyx\'s surprise, she chuckled.
"Well, well, well," the woman said, her voice playful, almost teasing. "Look who it is. The great Evil Magician." She tilted her head, her chains rattling slightly as she moved. "Come to admire my predicament?"
Nyx raised an eyebrow. "Dark Fairy Queen," she said, her voice smooth as always. "I didn\'t expect to find you here."
The Dark Fairy Queen laughed, the sound light and carefree despite her situation. "Oh, darling, neither did I. But life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn\'t it?" She glanced down at the chains that bound her. "Although I must say, I\'ve seen better days."
Nyx\'s eyes narrowed. She had heard the stories—the legends of the two Fairy Queens, one of light and one of darkness. The Light Fairy Queen, Elysia, was well known, a symbol of purity and grace. But the Dark Fairy Queen had vanished long ago, her existence all but forgotten. Nyx hadn\'t expected to meet her here, of all places.
"You\'re not supposed to be here," Nyx said, stepping closer. "You disappeared centuries ago."
The Dark Fairy Queen smirked, her eyes gleaming with mischief. "Did I? Well, I suppose that depends on who you ask." She tugged at the chains lightly, as if testing them. "I\'ve been here, waiting for someone interesting to show up."
Nyx studied her for a moment, "I could free you," she said, her voice soft but filled with promise. "If you serve me."
The Dark Fairy Queen raised an eyebrow, then burst into laughter, the sound echoing off the walls of the cavern. "Serve you?" she repeated, still chuckling. "Oh, darling, I\'ve heard that one before. What makes you think I\'m interested in serving anyone?"
Nyx\'s white eyes gleamed. "Because you\'re bound in chains, and I\'m offering you freedom." She leaned in closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "Unless you\'d rather stay here, forgotten and powerless."
The Dark Fairy Queen stopped laughing, her expression becoming more thoughtful. She tilted her head, her long white hair falling over her shoulder as she considered Nyx\'s offer. "You make a compelling argument," she admitted, her lips curving into a sly smile. "And I do hate being chained up. It\'s so… undignified."
Nyx straightened, her smile cold and triumphant. "Then we have an agreement?"
The Dark Fairy Queen grinned. "Oh, why not? It sounds like fun."
Nyx wasted no time. She raised her hand, dark energy swirling around her fingers as she spoke the incantation to break the chains. The glowing bindings around the Dark Fairy Queen\'s wrists and ankles began to dissolve, the magic dissipating as Nyx\'s power unraveled it.
As soon as the last chain fell away, the Dark Fairy Queen dropped to the ground gracefully, landing on her feet with a soft thud. She stretched, rolling her shoulders and cracking her neck, as if she had just woken from a long nap. Then, without warning, the entire cavern was filled with a massive surge of energy as the Dark Fairy Queen absorbed the spirit magic around her.
Her body glowed with a brilliant light, and before Nyx\'s eyes, clothing began to form around her—a dress made of shimmering black silk that clung to her figure, flowing like water as it wrapped around her. Her long white hair fluttered in the invisible wind, and her eyes gleamed with power.
The Dark Fairy Queen looked down at herself, admiring her new form. "Ah, much better," she said with a satisfied smile. "I must say, I missed this."
Nyx watched her, unimpressed by the display of power. "Now, about our agreement—"
"Yes, yes," the Dark Fairy Queen interrupted, waving a hand dismissively. "Don\'t worry, I\'ll play along. But first, there\'s something I need to take care of." She grinned, a wicked gleam in her eye. "I\'d like to kill Fairy Queen before I join you."
Nyx\'s smile widened. "Elysia."
The Dark Fairy Queen nodded, her expression turning dark. "That\'s the one. I owe her a little… payback."
Nyx didn\'t hesitate. "Then do what you must. I\'ll be waiting."
The Dark Fairy Queen\'s laughter filled the air once more, playful and dangerous. "Oh, this is going to be fun."
With that, she disappeared in a flash of dark energy, leaving Nyx standing alone in the cavern. Nyx smiled to herself, satisfied with the outcome.
