บท 5: Chapter 4: Meeting the Dark Elf Queen. More Mongrels.
(As of the 24th of September 2023, this chapter was rewritten.)
I'm currently walking with the three Dark Elves who are taking me to the palace. Everyone is silent except the woman named Elda, who's looking at me with sparkles in her eyes as she keeps asking me for a fight, and the other two just deeply sigh at their fellow Dark Elf. By the way, I'm still getting strange gazes from passerby Dark Elven women.
The Village is more like a Town but of Medieval times. Purple and black flags with a crown on them are everywhere. The population is really small, there are like a few hundreds Dark Elves here, and no males too; I've not seen any male Dark Elves, there aren't any kids but just teenagers and mature women, and all the women here are wearing revealing clothes that only cover their private parts, legs and arms.
Honestly, I'd have been walking with a bulge in my pants if not for the Skill I created...and that'd not be a first good impression, not even in the slightest.
But that's in my opinion, as they are isolated from the outside world so not sure if they actually know stuff about men or not.
—I won't take advantage of their oblivion though, that's not in my book and will never be; because I don't have any reason to do so, but I'll take every opportunity and advantage on my side if I'm against them or anyone, unless they are my family.
Due to my good hearing sensitivity, which probably came from the Dragon King Race, I can hear the woman named Chloe says something: "I think he's the one who can help us." She whispers to her companions.
The other woman whose name is Delva leans to the left. "Are you sure, your Excellency? How can you know that he has no hidden intentions? Is it even true that he has just come here for training?" She whispers, feeling suspicious about me. Nope, I don't even do anything suspicious when they talk about me, so they won't know I can hear them.
Chloe nods her head, "From what I've seen he was practicing something to improve his Mana. And I can tell that he's able to take us down even if combined; just from his pressure alone I was about to fell on the ground from the Holy Tree."
Elda has a big smile on her face as she chimes in to say: "Hohoho, is he that strong!? I want to have a sparring with him!-" She almost says that loud, if not for her commander shushing her by placing her hand on her lips.
"If what Chloe-sama just said is the truth, then he can not just take down the Queen's best and closest guard but the entire tribe at that! And now you want to have a sparring with him? Are you out of your mind, Elda?!" Delva scolds her subordinate with anxiety and suspiciousness visible in her eyes. 'I mean...Chloe-sama wouldn't lie but...a human can do all of that...? It's true that I also sensed the huge fluctuations of Mana, but a human can't be that abnormal...even the past Heroes of their history didn't have such Magical Power... At least that's what the books say.' She adds in her mind.
Elda snorts and clicks her tongue, "Tch, what can a mere human do to us, the Dark Elves!"
Delva sighs, then says with her eyes close: "This might be your downfall Elda, even if he's a mere human you must not look down on your opponents."
"You keep saying the same thing every time, Commander!"
I'm not surprised to be the main topic of the Dark Elves, but what did Chloe just mean by that? Help them? With what?
I decide to ask them: "Hey, Chloe-san, what are you guys taking me to the palace for?"
"You'll know after we are there." She answers me in a serious tone without glancing at me, not even a brief glance.
I let out a deep sigh. Sadly, I cannot just ask them about what do they need help for, I can't just tell them that I heard what they said earlier, let's just have some patience. Patience, Wad, patience! Patience is the key to salvation!
...
(20 MINUTES LATER)
The palace's gate has come to our view, I see 4 armoured Elves with a unique looking armour which invokes a knightly image like a certain beauty with purple hair. They are standing on-guard and seem to be wearing the same armour as Delva, but black colour instead of silver. Delva then walks forwards in front of us, as she does that the guards immediately see us and salute to her and Chloe.
"Greetings Delva-sama, Chloe-sama, her Majesty is waiting for your arrivals." One of the guards speaks in a respectful tone with her right hand on her chest.
"Mhm, this human will be coming with us." Delva announces to them. They look surprised and confused upon hearing what their commander said, but they just let us in and couldn't help but stare at me.
Upon entering through the gate and inside where the field is located, there is a few more armoured Dark Elves with the colour and style, and some other women with different dresses but, this time...these dresses are revealing too much skin unlike the previous ones I've seen... The dress is a little short, reaching up to their thighs almost revealing the flesh of their butts.
All of their breasts are huge! The smallest one is most likely an E-cups, their nipples are almost out and their big butts can't be hidden by their dresses! The line of their vaginas is also visible through their clothing! For a moment I think I drooled.
THIS IS TOOO MUUUCH!!!!
They are invoking a more noble atmosphere, so I think they are Noblewomen? Additionally, they, like everybody else, all are staring at me but this time their expressions only carry curiosity and excitement. If you are wondering about how I can cope with this, just remember that I once was a prince in my previous life. (A.N: Read the prologue if you haven't.)
We pass by them and enter inside the palace. On our way, there's too many knights and noblewomen who are amazed by seeing me.
Finally, we reach a place which has a big door with red and golden carvings, and I can sense the Mana of two knights who are on standby right behind this door. How do I know they are knights? Simply the amount of Mana I sense in them are quite bigger than their citizens and most nobles, while some nobles, and higher-ups hold much more than everybody else like Chloe and Delva.
Although, Delva is slightly stronger than Elda, and Chloe is the strongest out of both of them whether it be in Magical Power or Physical Prowess.
I also figured out they have full control over [Nature] which is a high grade Magic, and slight control over [Darkness] which also is a high grade.
But that what amazes and freaks me at the same time...to be able to know their traits when you've just arrived yesterday is WILD! This feels so unreal for me as of I've just reincarnated yesterday... So to think I'd be used to my new supernatural powers already from day one is fantastically unbelievable; maybe it's because of this body and the intense training it had when it was young? Or maybe because my brain, or shall I say this body's brain already gotten used to it before me. Either way it's really amazing but unbelievable...
Whatever. I shake my head and shrug it off...
I wonder about where this door leads to, so I think to myself: 'Is this the Royal Hall?'
Chloe adjusts herself right in the middle of us, and in front of the door. "Your Majesty, I've arrived." She respectfully says in a loud and clear voice. I think she raised the volume of her voice via Magic.
"Enter."
Suddenly, the big door slowly opens and I can see the guards positioned behind it are opening it, and at the same time both Chloe and Delva glance at me to see my reaction, which surprises them as I knew there were guards from the beginning.
In front of us is a big hall, we walk inside and then on a dark purple carpet with 20 more guards lined around the carpet on both sides.
As we are about to near a throne, I see few more women surrounding the vicinity. They look beautiful >not like everyone I've seen isn't< and elegant with their lecherous dresses not even able to hide their assets, they are wearing golden ornaments as well, which enhances their beauty even more. All of them look shocked as they witness me.
When I turn my head to the front again, I see a woman standing beside a throne with another woman sitting on it.
What intrigues me the most is the woman sitting on the throne, so as I look at her, I'm startled to see this.
She's a mature-looking woman with large buxom, big buttocks and absolute cleavage. How can I tell she has big buttocks while she's sitting on a throne? It's easy to tell by just looking at these hips... She has long black hair that reaches down to her calves with two strands on her shoulders, hazel brown eyes, long-pointed ears with golden earrings, a dark leaden crown on her head, and she possesses a slightly dark skin which looks tan. She appears to be wearing a cloak with two metallic plates on the shoulders, a purple clothing that only covers her private parts, legs, and arms. It seems to be the Queen Olga Discordia.
(Reference https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Hcb787af511b04d4e9d5378e7526274f40/Print-Silk-Or-Canvas-Olga-Discordia-Sexy-Lady-Art-Poster-16x24-24x36-Inch-Custom-Living-Room.jpg_640x640.jpg)
It's not like I wasn't ready to meet Olga but...preparing for something is a thing, and actually doing it is another thing. Her realistic features are making me not believe this is actually her in-comparison to the show I've learned of her from.
Anyways... Holy shit... I won't be surprised if my recently created skill is going to become sentient to just cuss at me.
But imagine getting a bulge when a Queen is holding an audience with you, not like it's my fault though... Hide your damn body woman! It's too voluptuous and beautiful you woman! ...If only they know about men, that is, which I believe will be soon hehe. Cough. Cough.
I mean, no wonder, their society doesn't have the opposite gender so.
The three Dark Elves who were accompanying me knelt before their Queen, while I'm still standing right in front of them, looking at this Queen and the women here.
Suddenly 10 guards encircle me and point out their spears and swords at my whole being.
One of the guards speaks loudly: "Her Majesty, Queen Olga Discordia, will permit this human to have a discussion with her dignity."
The Queen extends her right arm; "State your purpose for coming here, human!"
I can't help but chuckle, "Hey, hey, I didn't expect to have such a warm greeting, I feel flattered."
The woman beside the throne opens her eyes wide. "YOU! How dare-" She tries to shout and warn me but— "Wait." Her Queen interrupts her with her hand.
This woman also possesses a slightly dark skin which looks tan as well, exquisite breasts of C-cup, and slender figure. She has long white hair, long-pointed ears, and pink-reddish eyes. She appears to be wearing golden ornaments with pink rubies: three collars and a necklace, bracelets on her legs and arms. And a black belly dancer clothing which consists of a veil for her face and head, and her private parts.

I'm going to die. I've a fetish for belly dancers at that too... Someone help me.
Control your fucking self Wad! You got this you bastard!
She is startled by her Queen's sudden act, she stares at her for a moment before regaining her composure and turns back to look at me with the poker face.
The Queen has her hand on her chin. "This presence...and the Mana exuding from your body which I'm pretty sure is of the [Nature] and [Darkness] elements. You aren't a normal human..." She narrows her eyes and says, questioningly.
Everyone's eyes are wide in surprise.
Fuck! She caught me off guard! Who would've known she can tell two of the many Magic traits I've control over! Well, it seems she's of the Mage type with no physical prowess but great Magical Power. However, I'm not certain about that, all I'm sure about is if she were a Devil then she'd be Ultimate-Class, and her potential is really high. How high? I don't know, I reincarnated just yesterday duh. But I really like how I've full control over my enhanced senses, it's really amazing and it still feels so unreal to me to be able to smell this strong and fragrant scent of everyone present here, whether they are close or far.
I force a small smile on my face. "Allow me to introduce myself at first. I am Wad Toujou, and to answer your Majesty's questions, I was practicing meditation inside the forest, to be more specific it was around your [Holy Tree]. However, don't misunderstand me, I neither mean disrespect to your tribe nor the [Holy Tree] itself. In all honesty, I didn't know it was the [Holy Tree] and I never knew there was an Elven Tribe around the forest. I met these three there and now here we are." I briefly explain to the Queen with seriousness written all over my face.
"Your Majesty, he's speaking the truth, I was watching him when he was training, but I've no clue if he has any hidden intentions. However... Allow me, please." Chloe speaks respectfully towards her Queen while still kneeling, then she asks for permission to stand and go beside her, to which the Queen immediately gives her the permission to go beside her.
The three women now are discussing between each other in whispers. Everyone has expectant gazes while looking at them, but there's only one person who is an exception to that—
—It's I, Wad!
I see, so they need help with that. Interesting...
What I'm actually hearing is Chloe whispering to the Queen and the other woman: "Your Majesty, I think he's the perfect one to help us against the horde of Demonic Beasts. He doesn't seem to have any ill intentions, and he's so strong; just from the huge amount of mana he released back then, I was about to fall on the ground if not for him to catch and save me." Chloe whispers the last part to her Queen with a slight blush on her cheeks. Did she fall for me already? I won't complain.
The woman in belly-dancer clothing is astonished. "What! You fell just from the pressure of his Mana?!" She almost says that loud.
"!!! I believe you Chloe, but is he really that strong!?" The Queen asks back with astonishment and hope in her eyes
"Yes Your Majesty." Chloe, with a serious face, answers in a happy tone, but with unshakable confidence.
The Queen is surprised for a second before she speaks: "I see... Guards, put down your weapons and go back to your positions." She orders her guards in an authoritative voice.
The guards at first are hesitant, but then they comply to the orders of their Queen.
Coughn. Coughn.
The Queen fakes a cough to gain everyone's attention in the hall.
"Although, you didn't explain how you've control over [Nature] and [Darkness], but since you aren't from here I won't force you to answer my question." She says with a smile, then continues. "Wad Toujou-san. My right hand, Chloe seems to have a good impression of you. I ask— No, I plead you if you can help us defend our own tribe against an army of Demonic Beasts which is about to arrive in the few upcoming days!" The Queen, while trying to hide her stress, pleads me with fear and hope visible in her eyes. Everyone present is shocked by hearing their Queen pleading me.
I place my hand on my chin, "Hmm, let's say I helped you, what would I gain after doing that?"
"YOU!/HOW DARE YOU!/WHO ARE YOU TO REQUEST SOMETHING FROM HER MAJESTY!" Everyone yells at me in disdain and anger, except the twenty guards who are only glaring at me.
In all honesty, I'm a bit surprised but didn't flinch an inch, and I still have my calm face.
Queen Olga raises her hand up. "Silence! Wad Toujou-san, you may request anything you wish that's within the boundaries of my power, but of course after helping us." She tells me in a loud and clear voice.
Hohoho~ She said anything? Now we are talking.
"I'll think about what I want later. For now, I will cooperate with you to defeat that so-called Army of Demonic Beasts; but I want you to share the information you have about them with me."
"Your Majesty, I think we should-"
Chloe tries to say something but the Queen interrupts her.
"—It's fine, Chloe." As if the Queen understood what her right hand was implying, said with confidence in her eyes.
"Wad Toujou-san-"
I interrupt the Queen with a smile: "Excuse me, but I'd prefer if you just call me Wad."
I see complicated feelings and a glint in the Queen's eyes, before she hides them and switch back to her serious face. "Alright...Wad-san. What we know so far is that the army consists of hundreds of Goblins, Ogres, and Werewolves with insanity. Their leader is called Demonic Beast General Vault, and his close subordinates are three Demonic Beast Commanders: Hicks, and a Demonic Necromancer of Advanced Rank called Kin. They are trying to invade both us and the High Elves to turn us into their... Slaves..." She briefly explains, and while she says the last part I feel the whole atmosphere becomes gloomy with everyone in stress.
A Demonic Beast named Vault? Didn't I kill that fucker? Well good thing I did, but sadly I couldn't check his memories back then, wait...now that I think about it, I've no mental skill which grants me the will to check others' memories...
Wait... I'm dumb, again... Don't I have the [Brynhildr] which is a sword that ables me to check the memories of the souls it devours? But how do I activate and control it? Haaah...as expected, I need to enter the Astral form the ROB told me about, in order to become powerful before the DxD and Shinmai Maou canons begin
But a Demonic Beast Commander called Hicks and another which is a Lich called Kin... Well, I don't think they'll be more tougher to kill unlike their Boss right? A subordinate shouldn't be stronger than its leader in the wild, that's the rule after all.
"I actually met and killed the so-called Vault back in my town, because he was trying to do something bad to a girl I know, good thing I was there." I casually tell them, hoping to ease up the mood.
But when I glance at them, they have that look of shock and stun in their faces, but few have suspiciousness like Delva.
"Im-imp-impossible!!!!! That Demon is stronger than Chloe-same herself! Your Majesty, don't believe him!!" One of the noblewomen exclaims.
"It's hard to believe but, Wad-san is really strong..." Chloe announces.
This woman... Why is she standing up for me? This is really confusing, has she fallen for me or something?
I slightly bow to Chloe as a thank you, which makes her blush for some reason. "It's up to you to whether believe or not what I'm about to say... One of my abilities helps me grow more powerful the more I train, for example: If someone needs one month to increase their Mana Capacity by three-folds then, that will only take me 10 hours."
'In fact I don't know how much time I need, but I'm sure it's short compared to the average.' I add in my mind. I turn to Chloe and continue: "And I believe Chloe-san has seen that right?"
I didn't want to expose one of my powers that fast, but it can't be helped, Chloe was watching me the entire time, I know that as a fact.
Chloe nods to what I said: "His Mana density was a bit weak and small, but after he finished his training I felt his Mana has grown much more stronger. I think that ability of his has something to do with the sudden and quick growth." While she was explaining, she flinched mid-explanation, but then a blush grew in her face upon saying the last part.
'Ahhh~~ He looked so cute and caring when he saved me... My heart can't stop beating when I think about him~... Wait— Chloe! W-What are you s-saying?!' She thought to herself, and her face abruptly became redder and redder that the Queen and the other woman beside the throne sweated at her.
"Ah, that's right. It was because of my ability." I softly nod in agreement.
The Queen nods as she has a small smile on her beautiful face.
Wait— Didn't she just say something about High Elves?
"Your Majesty, if I may ask, what is your current situation with the High Elves?" I ask, wanting to assure my doubts.
"Sure." The Queen answered with a smile. She looks at the ceiling and wears a reminiscent look; "A long time ago, precisely 200 years ago we were at war. Too many people from both our races died..." She frowns as she paused her speech, she gained a melancholic look for a brief second before it switched to a happy expression. "But thanksfully we have peace and they are now our sisters. We are allies— and hopefully forever."
"I see." I nod, feeling proud for some reason. "Then may you tell me where they reside? I'd like to help them as well; that's if they don't mind." I ask with a smile.
The Queen is surprised a bit, her face is complicated with feelings; 'He would like to help them...?'
She smiles, happily, "Yes, they'll not mind it, but it isn't guaranteed they will offer you something as a compensation for helping-"
"—It's fine."
"Eh?" The Queen says in surprise.
"I hate seeing casualties when they can be avoided." I say with a small smile.
"Plus the General of the army whom I eradicated tried to mess with someone important to me; I can not come to forgive him even if I eradicated him, so we can say I'm doing it for myself too." I say in a neutral, emotionless tone, but anger is visible in my eyes as I don't want to hide it.
Her face becomes complicated with feelings again as she stares at me. "I see... Then Chloe, Delva and Elda shall accompany you. Take him to the High Elf Tribe girls."
"Hai!" The three women reply in unison.
Thereby, we went on our way to the High Elf Village
...
(30 MINUTES LATER)
Right after the meeting with the Queen. Chloe, Delva, Elda and I went outside the Dark Elf Tribe by exiting the hidden barrier. Now we are walking together inside the deepest part of this forest, heading to the High Elf Tribe.
I can't help but start to wonder how big this forest actually is, and why did the Government of the Empire not deal with its size. But I think I know why, because there's only one answer to that. I deduce the Elves have forbade the Humans of the Empire from cutting down and decreasing the size of this forest through negotiations.
Indeed I said "Humans" and not "Us" because I don't consider myself human anymore; I still have part of my humanity left, and am still myself, but due to my supernatural powers I'm no longer human. I can't keep stressing myself with something that had already happened. All I can and actually want to do is get over it and move on, there's no need to complain, there's no need to cry over it, as long as I'm still myself then I'm fine.
And when they call me Human, I don't wanna bother myself with telling them about myself. If they get close to me then they will know, if not then no need to tell them about my actual races.
.....
Time passed and we still haven't talked at all since when we left the tribe, so, I decided to break the silence.
"Chloe-san." I call for Chloe and she turns to me while humming. "If I may ask, the time we entered your tribe and when we left I've not seen any single man, did they go somewhere or?"
She frowns and averts her gaze downwards for a moment, then looks forwards: "Us, the Dark and High Elves, are races of females only; we are born from the [Holy Tree] and there has never been any case where men were born." She answers my question with a neutral face and tone.
"Ah. I see... There's also something I'm wondering about: You all seem to hate humans, why's that?" I ask in wonder with my eyes furrowed.
"...." Chloe frowns and furrows her eyebrows as she goes silent and doesn't utter a single word.
I see Delva stops in her place and clenches her fists; "Humans are exactly like the Demonic Beasts! They are evil, untrustworthy, liars, traitors and savages." She yells in anger and spits on the ground with disgust written all over her expression.
"I hate them!" Elda exclaims.
I look at them with a panned face. "Then what do you think about me?" I question them.
They speechlessly stare at me in surprise, they don't seem to know how to answer this one.
I sigh, "Listen you all, not all humans are bad and not all elves are good. If there's a good person, then there'll always be a bad person. So please, don't take all humans for just because few idiots who showed you their bad sides as an example-"
"KYAAAAAAA"
Before they can utter a single word, a scream which belongs to a woman echoes throughout the place.
*CHIRP* *CHIRP* *CHIRP* Birds start flying from the trees.
Everyone's startled and I instinctively look towards the direction which seems where the voice came from.
*SWOOOSH* I dash at full speed towards a bush.
.
.
.
"KYAAAAA! Help! Help me, sister..." A woman can be seen on the ground with her hands covering her face.
in front of her are thirty red Goblins with some having two small horns on each side of their heads and some with one small horn in the middle. And five grey Ogres behind them.
(Reference for Goblins https://tbi.sb-cd.com/t/12194548/1/2/w:300/t3-enh/kuroinu-02-goblins-scene.jpg)
(Reference for Ogres https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/forgottenrealms/images/1/1d/Ogreram.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/250?cb=20181219130047)
"Kekekeke~~, she's pretty! Do you think we'll have beautiful children once we r*pe her? Kukukukuku~" One of the Goblins comment to his fellows.
"Kekekekekeke~" They all laugh while sticking their tongues out.
The same Goblin starts approaching her while holding his arm at her to rip her clothes off.
"Kekeke! We must be the most luckiest today!-" The Goblin has this filthy and disturbing look worn on his face, but as he licks his lips—
*BANG* He gets punched on the face, and due to how strong the impact this punch causes; *SQUASH* his head crashes onto the ground and explodes that even a hole takes place instead of the head. Because of how the Goblin's body is short and small it's standing upside down with his neck on the hole.
*DRIP* *DRIP* Green blood is dripping from the Goblin's neck as it fills up the hole beneath it.
The one who killed the Goblin...
...is no other than I, Wad!
In this moment, I'm standing beside the dead Goblin's body with cold eyes. "It seems you aren't worthy of being called 'Demonic Beast'. All I see in front of me is bunch of weaklings." I say with disgust visible in my eyes.
I close my eyes; "Well, whatever, I've not enjoyed killing in a while." I open my eyes and unintentionally release bloodlust as I say in a cold tone with a wide grin that shows my white teeth.
>Ofc it's white I brush them two to three times a day smh!<
I imbue my body with magic then, *WHOOSH* vanish from my place.
With my whole body exuding with strong Mana, *BLOW* *BLOW* *BANG* *BLOW* I start obliterating every single one of them starting from the right by targeting their vital points; I'm an expert at Martial Arts after all.
"HELP!!!! KEEEHHHHH!" One of the Goblins tries to run away but I, *Tuff* strongly grab and lift him by his head then, *Boom* smash him on the ground.
I've completely annihilated every single one of the Goblins. I look towards the woman and see the Ogres behind her, and one of them is right behind her as the mongrel takes the advantage of her weakness and places his arms behind her neck to hold her still even though she's struggling to break free.
Seeing that, I glare at them; they quickly look scared as they feel a mightily pressure crashing them like they are being stepped on.
"H-Hu-man!" One of the Ogres call out to me, he appears to be slightly bigger than the others.
I remove the pressure from him but keep it on the others; I don't want to take risks, especially when I fucking reincarnated yesterday.
The Ogre is startled upon realising the pressure is gone, so he looks around to check on his fellows, only to be welcomed by their terrified looks.
He slowly turns to look at me with beads of sweat dripping down. "E-E-Either you leave us a-alone with the, the woman...or we-we will eat her!" He stammers multiple times as he finally announces, sweat still dripping down from every inch of his body.
I chuckle: "You sure?" I mockingly ask him with a smirk.
"Grrr, I'll show y-" The Ogre is interrupted by a tearing sound *TSSHH* but suddenly *BOOM* his body explodes and before anything falls on the ground, everything, whether it be flesh or blood, turns into light green beams and they all move quickly towards my direction.
Actually, they are being devoured by this sword on my hand... How? I mean when did I have a sword? Wait... This thing!
What I see right now, shocks me...
A large silver single-edged sword has materialised and now is being held by my right hand, as well as some type of gear materialised on my right arm. The sword is emanating a strong green Aura.
Is this...Brynhildr?!?!
