As I prepared myself to confront her, the Elf Queen suddenly smirked. I had been thinking for a while, is the demon elsewhere? Outside the barrier, maybe? Perhaps she's waiting for the Elf Queen to destroy it so they can raid the entirety of the city of the Elven Kingdom and win this war. Should I go directly towards him in that case? Hm, this is getting harder to figure out. I just want to beat her and get done with this! I hate getting involved in drama from another world, I already got enough in my own!

"So? You got potential. You're not an Elf either and you seem to be free from the control of the Summoner, Kireina." Said the Elf Queen. "How about you join us, the demons? I remember hearing you critique the way the elves did things. You disliked their arrogance as well, right? You disliked how half-hearted they are. And you understand how we work hard to protect our families and our home. We are not evil; we are simply trying to do anything we can to ensure our survival. You don't belong here, you belong with beings like you, that won't look at you weird for looking differently! How about you join us demons? If you help us survive and achieve our goals, the Demon King will gladly let you go back to your own world, after all, the Cosmic Staircase is a treasure within the Dark God Shrine, right inside the Demon King's Castle!"

"What? Really?" I wondered.

"Yes, it is right there. We can let you go anytime, as long as you cooperate. We will treat you fairly as well." Said the Elf Queen, extending her hand towards me. "What do you think? Isn't it a far quicker way to go back to your world? After all, it is quite obvious you got the power to help us achieve our goals even easier… Aren't you searching for the quickest way to go back?"

Now that's a low hit, you didn't had to do that to me, you bastard! He knows how much I want to go back home! It really hurts how annoying this bastard is! Yes, I really want to go back home… But… this is the home of Elfina and that White Dragon, and I like those two idiots already, you can't make me switch so easily, sadly.

"Sorry but I've already grown rather attached to Elfina and the stupid White Dragon. I believe there's another way on resolving these conflicts. You telling me this doesn't change anything. If the Demon King gets in my way… then I'll just take him down and end this stupid war." I said.

"More demons will rise if he dies, there is an endless loop, as long as the greed of the human and elven tribe continues to thrive, we'll constantly fight for survival! The only way for you to clench all us demon's fury and drive to fight is if you make us all go extinct…" Said the Elf Queen.

"I won't make you go extinct, dumbass… And I couldn't care less what happens after I am gone, it's all up to you guys after that! I'll just get what I have to do gone and that's it! I am not… getting any more involved!" I said. "Black, White!"

"At your orders, my lady!"

"Tell me and I'll slash her throat!"

White and Black were rather ready to fight, as the Elf Queen said the two spears floating around me, orbiting rapidly as they emanated strong auras of darkness and light. They had yet to unlock the chaos and void attributes they originally had, and they seem to be purely Dark and Light Element for the moment. Perhaps enhancing my Divinity could give them more power to unlock, but for now, they're my best companions in this fight!

And then there's Aquamarine.

"I'll protect you as well, don't worry, Master…!" She said, reassuring me. Unlike the spears, she couldn't transform into a weapon nor an armor like before, but she could still talk and had strong perception abilities, kind of like Mana Sense and Danger Perception combined, and it seems she might be able to control Water if I give her Mana, so there's that!

"Alright then…"

"Hmph, you're rather naïve if you think you stand a chance against me." Sighed the Elf Queen. "Don't you understand? Not only I have all of this Darkness Festering inside of my heart, but all the magical powers of the Elf Queen, who has lived for thousands of years is within me… She's already comparable to a Demon Lord, if not even stronger! Add that with my own powers which I am sharing with her… Don't you think you're getting overconfident, you stupid talking cocoon?"

"We won't know until we try. [Fireball]"

FLASH!

And then, I unleashed a fireball against her!

BOOM!

The Fireball was easily blocked.

"Huh? That's it- AGH!"

Of course that wasn't it, dumbass. I had quickly conjured several more Fireballs in a mere second, they were so cheap MP-wise that it was a no brainer to conjure a hundred of them in a few seconds… and what if I combine them with Cutting Wind though?!

FLUOOOOSSSSSHHH!

"Fire Storm!!!"

"T-This powerful magic in mere seconds?!"

BOOOOOMMM!!!

The Elf Queen- or well, the demon controlling her was quickly surprised. The spiraling storm of flames reached him and completely engulfed him in the burning fire, as an explosion quickly happened right after, dealing even more direct damage into his vessel!

However, the fire quickly dissipated with a strong gust of icy winds, as the furious, half-burned Elf Queen appeared within the smoke, glaring at me angrily. Her wounds were recovering incredibly quickly as well through advanced healing magic… and the power she stole from her husband was also adding to her strength a crap ton more! She was going to be a rather worthy opponent, and one I am going to have to go all out from the beginning!

Of course, with Roll!
