Chapter 1715: Demonic Door

“I can maintain the Immunity status on the terrain for at most ten minutes, but that will never be enough,” Elayne sighed. “The magnitude of this energy is tremendous. We must conserve our strength, and when we confront Oberon, we need to fight him with everything we have and execute the plan we’ve devised.”
Elayne examined her demonic weapons, which had grown significantly stronger by absorbing demonic energy from the environment. They constantly aided in purifying the area they traversed, supporting Elayne’s Terrain to thrive without eroding too quickly.
She also wielded the powerful hammer she had obtained from one of the Mutated Trolls, a Cursed Hammer imbued with Holy Power through her Spirit Weapon Forging Arts.
The unique blend of Blessings and Curses within this hammer made it more than just another of Elayne’s many weapons. With it and Morpheus, she could cut through the thick, toxic miasmic fog everywhere, clearing a path for them to advance.
As she looked at the gate, she quickly noticed it was covered in curses and chains of demonic energy. A powerful demon had possessed it, and as they stepped forward, the demon awakened, revealing a monstrous bull-like head from the gate.
“No one is allowed inside the Fairy King and his wife’s chambers!” the demon roared in a thunderous voice. “Gyehehehe! Oooh, it’s you! Hehehehe! This is perfect! We’ve all been waiting for you!”
“Open the way, or I’ll open it myself!” Elayne bellowed.
“How about you relax for a moment? We haven’t finished the preparations for your grand welcome, Yggdrasil!” the demon laughed. “Now, how about we play some games together?”
RUMBLE!
The Demon Door cackled as dozens of demonic fairy knights emerged from the fog, followed by ferocious demonic spirit beasts.
“Hmph, fine!” Elayne roared. “Everyone, let’s take care of this quickly!”
“YEAH!”
They roared in unison, their Auras surging as they unleashed their skills and spells. The fairy knights and demonic spirit beasts stood little chance against the combined might of the allies Elayne had brought. The advantage of having a large, tightly knit group of friends and family, whom she had ensured grew strong, was remarkable.
“I’ll crush you!”
Elayne roared, swinging her hammer and striking the door demon with all her strength infused into the Hammer of Curses and Blessings.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
“Nngh! Don’t get too cocky! You’ll see what awaits you! You will despair, Yggdrasil!”
The demon laughed as it fought Elayne, sprouting giant tentacles from the stone walls and floor, relentlessly targeting her while firing beams from its eyes.
“I’ve told you and your master many times, I am not the Yggdrasil he knows!” Elayne declared, kicking the tentacles or shattering them with her hammer and Morpheus.
Each hammer blow absorbed the curses and transformed their energy into blessings, rapidly weakening the demonic entity while simultaneously freeing the spirit door from its influence.
“{Holy Dragon Horn}!”
She swung her hammer downward, resembling the piercing horn of a dragon, crushing through the door and blasting it into pieces!
BOOOM!
The demon inside perished with an agonizing scream mixed with mocking laughter. Even in death, it brimmed with confidence.
“Gyehehehe! It’s done…! My purpose…! Has been fulfilled—GAHAHAHAHA!”
After Khione rescued every fairy knight she could, Elayne glared at the fragments of the door she had destroyed. Beyond it lay a great hall leading to the throne room, just one door away.
FLUOSH!
The moment the door was destroyed, an immense wave of thick demonic miasmic fog surged forward. Elayne felt pain coursing through her body as she shielded everyone with her Celestial Wards.
“Begone!”
Swinging both her hammer and scythe, she absorbed the curses and converted them into blessings, a feat neither her shovel nor her spirit hoe could achieve, clearing the fog ahead completely!
TRUUUM!
Everyone sighed in relief, gasping for air as the thick fog dissipated. Inhaling it for too long risked possession, curses, or even madness, potentially transforming them into mutated monsters.
“This is so strange…” Khione muttered, gazing into the distance. “They said my father had a wife? But it’s been so long since the last woman he loved passed away… What are they even talking about? If he had fallen in love with someone to the point of naming her his new wife, he would have notified all of us.”
“That’s likely part of the demon’s plot,” Mark said. “If your father is as strong as you say, perhaps they targeted his weak point by stealing his heart.”
“So you’re implying a demon lady charmed him?” Rita asked. “Oh my god, just how desperate was your father, girl?”
“I-I don’t know… my father has faced so many heartbreaks and has always felt so lonely,” Khione sighed. “He always told us he had a destined queen of fairies who was never born in this world, someone meant to share eternity by his side. Unable to find this special person, my father tried to compensate by falling in love with other women… that’s how my siblings and I were born.”
“I see…” Elayne nodded, eyeing the door to the throne room. “Oberon, the King of Fairies… I think I know who he’s referring to. Unfortunately, this person, his queen, was born in another world, forever separated from him.”
“…?” Khione looked confused. “W-What are you talking about?”
“We know her,” Mark said. “It’s the Queen of Fairies, also born from Yggdrasil, Titania.”
“T-Titania? How do you know the name of my father’s destined partner?” Khione gasped. “Wait, you’ve met her?”
“She’s not from Earth but from Arcadia,” Elayne said. “Like your father, she leads and protects the fairies and all other forest spirits. She’s my dear friend…”
“S-So that’s how it is!” Khione cried, smiling through her tears. “My father’s destined partner isn’t just a dream, she exists…! In another world…! But she exists…! There’s hope. My father could regain hope if we could somehow let him speak with her!”
“Yes, that’s what I want to do,” Elayne said. “But I can’t communicate with Titania right now. So we’ll have to defeat and incapacitate your father first, then let him speak with her… It feels like our connection to Arcadia weakens the deeper we delve into this fog, which is frustrating.”
“Hm…” Khione nodded. “Elayne, thank you so much for sharing all this information with me! I wish we could visit Arcadia somehow…”
“Maybe if we use those VR headsets and place potential cubes on them, right?” Rita asked. “Would that work, Elayne?”
