1462 Avarice, The Demon Lord Of Greed
.

As the presence of Avarice disappeared from within the body of the Elf Queen, I looked at her to find her awake, looking at me with a bit of disgust but surprise.
"W-What… happened to me? Kireina?! Why… ugh… My head…" She cried. I used Telekinesis to hold her in midair, as she quickly fell unconscious.
"Rest for now, I guess you can't really fight properly for the moment… Ah! White, Black! Are you alright?" I wondered, flying towards the two, they were shattered over the floor, barely moving.
"Yes, we are alright, as long as our master is alive, we can regenerate over time." Sighed White. "I can still use magic even while not having a blade to pierce."
"Me too, let us fight with magic even if we can't pierce things for now, our bodies will self-repair and regrow back, so don't worry about it." Said Black. "More importantly, should we bring her back to the castle?"
"Yes, let's do that!" I said, quickly flying near the castle to find the White Dragon! Damn bastard, where the heck were you?! Of course, I wasn't going to say that, so I spoke to him rather politely, like the lady I am actually!
"Hey you dragon bastard! Where the fuck were you?!" I asked indecently. Shit, I guess my manners really need a bit of an upgrade. I don't remember myself being this much of a bad talked in my previous life back in Genesis! I might really have changed to the worst…
"Ah! Kireina! You're here with the Queen!" He said, he was looking around the entire city in surprise. "You rescued her very quickly, amazing!"
"Yeah, that's what I do all the time, rescue damsels in distress." I sighed. "Anyways, move your ass and do something about the people! You've got healing light powers or whatever, right?" I asked.
"Yes, I do! I will do something immediately! But what's going on in here?" He wondered.
"Long story short, a Demon Lord that controls Greed possessed the Queen long time ago and finally let loose tonight, he infected the King, stole his Lifespan to gain power, and then spread out miasma everywhere, so everyone is turning into zombies and killing each other. If you can cast Purification, that should be more than enough to purify the people!" I said, flying back to the castle.
"Wait! The castle is not safe, give her to me." Said the White Dragon. "Also, I am not a White Dragon, I am a God and my name is Luminous, keep it within your mind the next time!" He said angrily.
"Yeah, whatever Luminous." I sighed. "Now take this and quickly put her- Eh?"
FLASH!
Luminous quickly teleported the Queen somewhere else.
"What? Have you never seen someone's Divine Realm? And I thought you were a goddess in your previous life, hm?" He asked cockily.
"Of course I know about it, dumbass! I was just quite surprised… Anyways, there are demons outside, we need to deal with them or…"
Crack… crack…!
And then, we heard it. Within the skies of the city, an enormous army of flying demons covered in shadows that resembled bats emerged. They were more like bat-men… yeah, not the hero, but you catch my drift, right? And they were conjuring millions of pointy shadow spears, cracking and breaking through the entirety of the barrier in mere seconds!
CRAAAAASH!
"N-No, this can't be… The barrier broke so easily?!" Asked Luminous. "But I am infusing divine power to it right now!"
"Calm down bud! That Avarice dude stole some power from the Elf Queen, he most likely is using it right now to boost his power and break your divine barrier. After all you're spreading it too thin around the entirety of the forest, that's thousands of kilometers, you know?! It is obvious it got some weak points!" I said, calming down Luminous as he was trying to repair it, but the darkness coming from the demons and the big and tall, sleek guy leading them constantly corroded the barrier breaking it apart with ease… Holy shit he's strong!
"Hmph, so you're Kireina, eh? I had a terribly bitter experience with you just a few seconds ago but now, that you'll be fighting the true Avarice in the flesh… Well, let's say you'll have a BAD time." He said with a smirk. He was incredibly tall, around almost three meters, with long bat-like wings behind him, a pointy and long tail, spiraling black horns, pale white, long black hair, and sharp red eyes while wearing a black suit fitting of his body and size. He got the whole demon package! This guy really got the fashion of demons right I suppose. Props to that my dude.
"Ugh, how incredibly generic! Couldn't you come out with a better speech?! Are you seriously just saying "YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME! JEJEJE!"?! Dumbass! Just say something cooler. Come on, surprise me!" I said cynically, as Avarice's handsome face quickly distorted on disgust.
"Y-You damn worm! I am going to crush you with my feet until nothing remains but scattered flesh and guts over the dirt!!!" He cried angrily.
"Much better! I could almost feel that one!" I laughed.
"Stop laughing at me!" He cried. "MEN! MARCH AND CONQUER! The Elves are weakened, and the Guardian is also weak now that we have brought the darkness of Miasma, consume everything!!!"
"Yes, Lord AVARICE!"
"GYEHEHEHE!"
"Let's go!"
The bat-men quickly flew down below, they were all fused with a big black crystal in their chests, which boosted their dark powers and even connected them all to Avarice, who seemed to be both absorbing their power and also giving them Mana, he had a shit ton of Mana! Is this the Mana he stole from the Elf Queen and the Elf King?! So this is why the Queen felt so "light" when she recovered! Damn bastard, I also want that power…!
"The Darkness of Miasma? So such a thing can weaken my own powers…" Luminous muttered, afraid of the sudden invasion.
