Omega Summoner - Chapter 2099: Return of the Black Fairies
“We thought that those dying words were empty, but it seems that she was able to put a curse on us. Not only did she curse me to become barren, but no black fairy has also been born ever since.” The Fairy Queen stated as she touched her belly.
“The curse is true. I can see it as a swirling cloud of miasma.” Hexy stated which shocked the Fairy King and Fairy Queen as even the dryad or leshy that handles death energy could not see
it.
“I can sense it slightly, but I cannot see it like Hexy does. If she says that you are under a curse, then you might really be in one. Can you see it, Creepysoo?” Adrian asked as he can only partially sense the malevolent energy. In fact, he already sensed it once when he met the Fairy Queen.
“It seems to be different compared to death miasma, but I can sense the faint malevolent energy from the Fairy Queen. The source or how it moves is all blank even for me. I guess I am not as sensitive as both of you are.” Creepysoo stated.
“No… It is actually impressive enough that you are able to sense it. It is subtle because it is slowly fusing with the Fairy Queen’s life energy. It is not deadly, but it is inhibiting her ability to reproduce because of it.” Hexy stated as she can clearly see the miasma move.
“You can call me mother.” The Fairy Queen stated but Hexy was still a bit shy to call someone like that.
“My daughter is really a genius! Tell me, can you help your mother?” The Fairy King asked. “At my current level, I do not have that kind of power. If we have a sample of the miasma that was used to curse her then I might be able to reverse the curse.” Hexy stated.
“Why can’t you just extract some of the miasma in her belly?” Creepysoo asked as he knew that Hexy should be able to do that.
“I can but I should not. Doing that might hurt the Fairy Queen. The curse has already attached to her very life force. Ripping it out would kill her.” Hexy stated which shocked the Fairy King as he did not think that taking it out would have killed the Fairy Queen.
“I am so sorry, beloved. You could have died when I asked the other elders to extract whatever was cursing you.” The Fairy King stated as they have tried some things before.
“No worries, my love. You did not know this will happen and the elders were unable to do anything anyways. There was no treatment that happened which is why I am safe as long as it is not extracted forcefully.” The Fairy Queen stated but the Fairy King looked at Hexy for confirmation.
“You do not need to worry. Just like she said, the curse is intact and there was no tampering that happened.” Hexy stated.
“That is good then. We can wait for a long time now that our daughter is here. When she regains her lost powers then she might be able to help you.” The Fairy King stated.
“Do not pressure our daughter like that! She just woken up and you are already burdening her. I am just glad that she has returned.” The Fairy Queen stated as she pinched the wings of the Fairy King for suddenly giving Hexy a burden.
“I do not think that all of you will wait a long time though.” Adrian suddenly stated as all of the gazes shifted towards him.
“What do you mean?” The Fairy King asked.
“Since Hexy has awakened as a Black Fairy, it also means that the Black Fairy Mavros has awakened as well.” Adrian stated which suddenly made all of the people there feel the gravity of the situation.
In a dark forest located in the central continent, an elder dryad that has thorns as parts of her body is watching vigilantly as a black flower bud bloomed slowly. The black flower bud was not like the one that Hexy found as this one was filled with miasma so potent that it killed everything in the area. The tree that it was grafted onto has withered along with the air becoming stale. Even the lake beneath the tree looked incredibly polluted that it will not host any life.
“It has been ages. I am finally awake.” The Black Fairy Mavros or rather a small pixie with her image appeared when the black flower bud opened.
“You have finally returned, my queen.” The Elder Dryad stated.
“You have served me well, Dorn. You have protected me and fed my Grafts until I recreated my body. Still, this body is so pitiful that a bird might kill me.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated.
“Do not worry, my queen. I shall help you return back to your former glory! I will lay my life for you!” The Elder Dryad Dorn stated.
“Are you the only one that managed to survive that day?” The Black Fairy Mavros asked as she looked around and only the Elder Dryad Dorn was there.
“Unfortunately, the others were unable to escape as they were hunted down by the reinforcements of the other descendants. I do have their Grafts should you need a feast, my queen.” The Elder Dryad Dorn stated.
“It matters not. We are currently weak, and this place does not even have enough miasma for me to absorb. We need to start by reviving the others and I have just the way. Is there a village near this area?” The Black Fairy Mavros stated.
“There is none, my queen. Although, there is a hideout of a shady organization in this place. The numbers that they have are equivalent to the Grafts that we have. They are not that strong right now as that place is just another one of their secret warehouses.” The Elder Dryad Dorn stated.
“Take me there, Dorn. It is time for the others to awaken as well.” The Black Fairy Mavros stated as a sinister air swept across that dark jungle.
