Chapter 1632 An Invasion In The Giant Village

Chapter 1632 An Invasion In The Giant Village
Elfina found herself lost in pure darkness. As she walked, she only found corpses, moving corpses of all those whose lives she had taken away from, directly or indirectly. The demons, the emperor of all humans, their lifeless faces, their empty eyes, their monstrously rotten smell… it tormented her mind.
She kept running, only to stumble upon more rotten corpses. Darkness began to spiral above the sky, as she watched in utter despair as everything she had done. The innocent Elven Princess had already nasty her hands with the blood of countless men and women.
Piles over piles of dead people were standing before her… And from all of them, a grotesque worm followed her around, never letting go of her.
"Master… Masterrrr…"
The horrendous groan of this grotesque monster made her recoil in disgust and fear, she couldn't even confront the one she had summoned, the one that brought so much chaos to the world. She might had been captured and almost killed, but she began to realize that she was never so selfish to put her life above so many other lives.
She was never this way… This monstrous worm in front of her was the one that corrupted her mind, that made her take such things as granted, that made her seen such things as normal… somehow.
"Please, make it stop! I want to get out of here!"
Her screams resonated across this endless realm within her mind and soul, as the voice of a single man answered her pleas.
"What's wrong?"
"Get me out of this place… this is only an illusion!"
"Illusion?"
"Ahhh…! Get me out of here!!!"
"This is not an illusion…"
"Huh?"
"This is what you've done, Elfina."
"N-no…"
"You're a monster of your own, aren't you?"
"Nooo!"
"Unlike your companions who have all embraced such a life and such slaughter, you've always considered yourself the pure and innocent, right?"
"I am not innocent, I fully understand… I understand what I've been doing until now… I…"
"Then why are you hesitating?"
The voice whispered to her.
"You're a monster… right?"
"No… I…"
"Yes, you are."
Elfina's eyes looked into the horizon of a sandy landscape, an enormous mountain range made of a gigantic being's spine erected. So big it easily was as big as the enormous mountain ranges in the mainland. Her eyes, already red and dull, devoid of light, looked into a large city built by a single tribe that prospered in such inhospitable lands within the desert, the giants.
"Take them all down, my puppet."
"…"
She flew towards there, as her surroundings began to change, darkness started to emerge all around, the sky itself became completely filled with black clouds, and her powers began to work in strange ways she had never seen before, creatures she had never seen began to appear one after the other, howling and wailing in fury and agony, phantasmal creatures of the nether world…
"Those giants are disrupting my life by being there. If I could free that area, I would easily extract all the Blood Crystals and replenish my Miasmic energy all I want… Destroy their small city and take over their mines with everything you've got. Slaughter everyone you see, without hesitation!"
The voice ordered her, as she obeyed his will and moved, floating in midair by using magic she never thought she could have. Her body was covered by black armor and robes, imbued with miasmic power, and being living beings of their own that parasitized her body, filling Elfina's mind and soul with miasma and negative thoughts. Her body and mind were long gone, she was nothing but a puppet.
"Yes…" She said, her face suddenly changing a bit, smiling faintly. "Like I've always done… a few innocents… A few people… A few lives… Nothing too different from the usual… I will take them all out… Nothing will stop me."

(Kireina POV)
As I was mining for Blood Crystals, suddenly, Luminous noticed something in the distance.
"What's that?" Luminous suddenly pointed out at the distance, seeing an enormous village in the mountains.
"Could those be the village of the giants?" Wondered Fiere.
"This is the first time I see it…" Ariant said.
"But it must be it!" Eriant said. "Wait, there's something there…"
Suddenly, we noticed an enormous and looming black cloud emerging near the village of giants, and countless shadow-like creatures appearing and swarming the village's walls. Enormous giants began to move and fight back, but they were struggling.
"Let's go help them, we can later ask them for directions!" Luminous recommended.
"Yeah, those monsters look strange, I have some bad feeling about this…" I said, leading the group.
We immediately flew as fast as possible there, crossing hundreds of meters and almost half a whole kilometer, as we finally got a better view of what in the living hell was going on in there!
I saw countless phantoms resembling skeletons and zombies emerging from black clouds atop the sky, and the shadow silhouette of someone within those black clouds. The phantoms resembled mere illusions, but were more than real, roaring and howling furiously, as the Giants in the walls of the country were defending it with everything they had.
Fireballs and enormous arrows began falling over the descending undead, as some began exploding into pieces in the middle of the air, but many reached the giants, beginning to swarm them like thousands of small insects over their bodies.
"AAGGGH…! H-HELP!"
One of them suddenly lost balance, falling from the walls into the terrifying pits below. The other giants that were being swarmed grew paler as their souls started coming out of their very bodies! What in the hell is going on?! Is there an overpowered necromancer in here?
Well, now that I am closer…!
"[Purification]!"
FLAAASH!
A powerful flash of bright golden light emerged from my very hands as it shot down into the swarm of undead, purifying several hundred of them and making them turn into ashes, their wailing cries were incredibly loud and annoying.
"W-Who are those?!"
A group of giants noticed our presences, as we ignored them for now and quickly made our way into the enemy army.
