Chapter 649 The Winter Court Queen

With the hole left at the centre of the Throne Hall, Maeve had a gloating expression on her look towards the Black Masked Cultivators.

"Reregot, the faerie thinks that we might be disappointed with the loss of our 'comrades'. She thinks that will reduce our fighting capabilities." Tinda chuckled behind the mask. "In fact, she is making it easier for us to move around without too much worry!"

"I do agree. Let's clear this fast and aid Master Jin in the rescue of the Animal People." Reregot took out the inverted black cross beneath his shirt and revealed it to the Daughter of Winter Courts. The moment Maeve saw the cross, she was mildly disturbed by it.

"…Where did you find a fairy stone?!" She shouted and sent a projectile of dark energy towards the Dark Elves who were still under the cover of their Black Masks. Narris and Tinda evaded the attack instinctively except for Reregot who stood there with the cross.

As expected, the cross was able to defend him from the dark energy projectile. When Reregot thought that it nullified the attack, it was actually dissipated as particles to be absorbed into the Dark Elven relic. Maeve suddenly lost her composure and could not believe it. The inverted cross which the Black Masked Cultivator held was no ordinary fairy stone.

Like every other equipment in Jin's store, there was a varying quality of the fairy stones too. For the stone to absorb Maeve's magic this easily meant that the stone came from entities like her mother, who were tiers higher than her in terms of power.

She vaguely remembered that there was a period where her elders like her mother gave such fairy stones to the humans for fun, just to experiment with the humans.

But that was a very long time ago, so she could not fathom why these short lived humans were able to obtain these fairy stones or even had knowledge about such relics? (Needless to say, she was pinning on the assumption that humans are ignorant beings.)

Still, Maeve believed that it was a fluke and even thought that these humans did not turn to Giants or Monsters because of the protection by the fairy stone. Still, she never saw such intricate design like the inverted cross before. And to add on, Maeve noticed that the Black Masked Cultivator was also bleeding from holding onto the fairy stone.

The Evil Kinkstress had no doubt that there would be side effects for humans to use these fairy stones without magical powers. "Heh, as expected, he would not be able to last long holding that fairy stone, but I guess I better not fool around too," Maeve said to herself as she decided to move out of her chair and released the very same black hole technique towards Reregot.

Except, this time it was much bigger. But what Maeve saw next, made her mouth dropped in horror.

A silhouette of her aunt, Queen Titania of the Summer Courts emerged from the cross and halted the black hole before the magic could be fully executed.

However, it was not the usual bright, cheerful figure that she always portrayed. Instead, it was filled with dark, ominous energy around her that created such a daunting picture of Queen Titania which Maeve never imagined that it could be possible in her entire life. Her clothes, her mannerism and even her hairdo were different from what she last remembered of her.

The Black Hole magic was subsequently assimilated into the silhouette, and the silhouette of Dark Queen Titania unleashed the very same magic spell back at the Evil Kinkstress. This time, the Black Hole was more sinister than the colour black, putting the definition of the abyss into shame.

Maeve still shocked by the sudden change of events was standing at her throne like a fool. She could sense that there were no magic spells in her repertoire that was able to block, negate or deflect it. And no matter how she runs, Maeve could most definitely be not able to escape from that spell.

The Daughter of Winter Courts even believed that those Black Masked Cultivators were prepared to die with her considering the crazy stunt they pulled off.

"That is why you still have more to learn." A calm breezing wave of cold rushed into the room.

In an instant, the enhanced Black Hole Magic was subdued with a spell of spatial disintegration. A lady was standing at the side throne hall, with her arms crossed, looking at the Black Masked Cultivators.

"I do not know how you have gotten my sister's Fairy Stone, but I assure you that the amount of output to kill my daughter? It would nearly render the stone almost useless right now, and my magic would not be easily absorbed by that stone…though I would say, it's not impossible. Just not long enough for you to throw something like that to me." The Lady spoke with grace as she protected Maeve by standing right in front of her.

Proudly wearing a translucent dress, showing her flawless white skin and toned body, the Queen of Winter Courts, Mab was not one to abandon her child in her time of need.

"Don't you think your child had played enough? The mess she did is irreversible." Reregot questioned as he slowly put the Inverted Cross relic back beneath his shirt.

"What gives you the right to lecture me? It's not your child nor your business… Outsiders." Mab hissed back.

"But as a benevolent Queen, I will give you the chance to walk away freely for one condition. Kill yourselves for me." Mab said as if they had no way to escape her request.

"You puny humans should take it! Before she invokes a contract clause on you guys! Then you all will suffer a living hell like never before! Your souls would not know what peace is!" Maeve barked right behind her mother.

As usual, the Feys had to demonstrate their overwhelming powers to prove that they were right by freezing the entire throne hall into ice except for the areas where the Black Masked Cultivators were standing.

After which, Queen Mab lowered the temperature of the throne room to the point where the Dark Elves were experiencing symptoms of hypothermia in less than a minute.

The Dark Elves knew killing themselves was not an issue since they could resurrect again as long as they were under Jin, but to die because the enemy demanded it? It was more of a pride issue. Not to mention, they were still buying more time for the Rescue Operation.

However, they knew that the Queen of Winter Courts was not deft to not know about what was going on outside the castle, but she rather preferred to protect her child from the direct threat than to meddle with Jin's operation right now. Hence, all they needed was more time to let the rest of the minions continue their rescue efforts without the interference of the Winter Court Feys.

"Ha! Asking them to kill themselves is like telling your kid to stop playing with dead bodies." A low growling voice was heard from behind Reregot.

The Dark Elves turned around to see an Orc revealing his face from his hooded cloak. "Aye, Boss knew that her mother will be coming, so he asked me to come and assist. And I guess, this is indeed a good time to stretch my powers a little. All those governing nearly bored me to death."

"You sure? Fire beats ice, you know?" Flame Ripper accompanied the Orc King Frost Echo by his side while the Orc asked if he could hold the cloak for him.

"Don't you know? Ice is a form of water? You probably die immediately from the drowning! Besides, didn't Boss ask you to aid the penguins?" Frost Echo said as he tightened his armour. If it was regular armour, he probably would have discarded it by now.

But they were armour bestowed by Shiva, The Shaitan of Primitive Ice, the Goblin World's Herald of Winter. Frost Echo figured his bestowed armour could aid him to withstand a bit of the cold. If not, he probably complaining to his god that it was useless junk.

"He told me I am the backup unit for this in case you did not appear." Flame Ripper folded the large cloak and hung it over his shoulders.

"Heh! If I did not appear, I think the System gonna eat me up alive. If not that, Mistress Qiu Yue will!" The Orc King said as he cracked his knuckles and walked on the ice with poise.

The Dark Elves did learn the existence of every minion in Jin's consortium of freaks, and they happily jumped back to where Flame Ripper was.

They knew it was a show they would not want to miss.
