Chapter 264 Heroine's Natural Enemy
Lilith walked leisurely through the city, her footsteps echoing against the empty streets. Every time she swung her hand, another human life was snuffed out. Heads rolled from bodies, blood sprayed, and chaos reigned wherever she passed. Yet, her expression remained indifferent, even bored. She let out a soft yawn, swiping at another unfortunate soul who had attempted to flee.
The man's head fell to the ground with a soft thud, and Lilith blinked lazily.
"This is getting dull…" she muttered to herself, wiping her hand against her dark cloak. "Why did Nyx send me here to play with such weaklings?"
She was just about to obliterate another section of the city when a powerful presence caught her attention. Lilith stopped mid-swing, her eyes narrowing as she looked toward the sky. A familiar energy approached, one she hadn't felt in quite some time. The corner of her lips curled into a smile as she realized who it was.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Well, well…" Lilith mused, turning to face the powerful aura head-on. "Sister."
Descending gracefully from the sky was none other than Fairy Queen Elysia. Her wings glistened in the sunlight, casting a radiant glow, but there was no warmth in her gaze. Elysia's eyes were sharp, cold even, as they landed on her dark counterpart. The wind around her carried a sense of foreboding, and Lilith could feel that her sister was much stronger than the last time they had faced each other.
"Lilith," Elysia said, her voice quiet but filled with purpose. Her gaze briefly swept over the mangled bodies of humans lying around her, their lifeless faces staring into the void. There was no emotion in her eyes as she turned back to her sister. "I see you haven't changed."
"And I see you're no longer in that sealed state I put you in," Lilith replied with a smirk. She cocked her head to the side, a gleam of amusement dancing in her eyes. "I must admit, I'm surprised. I didn't think you'd be freed so soon. Let me guess... Maris?"

Elysia didn't bother to respond, her expression unreadable. She wasn't here for conversation, and she certainly wasn't here to exchange pleasantries. The fate of the humans meant little to her in the grand scheme of things. Her priority had always been her realm, her fairies, and ensuring the Fairy World remained intact.
The humans were secondary, and if they had to die for her to seal Lilith, then so be it.
Without another word, Elysia raised her hand, gathering an immense amount of magic. The very air around her crackled with raw energy. Lilith's smirk faded slightly as she realized Elysia wasn't playing around. In the next instant, a devastating surge of light magic exploded from Elysia's body, a spell of enormous magnitude that tore through the landscape.
The ground trembled as a blinding wave of energy shot toward Lilith, obliterating everything in its path. Trees, homes, and entire sections of the city vanished in an instant, reduced to nothing but ash. The sheer force of the attack leveled the area within a 10-kilometer radius, leaving only scorched earth in its wake.
Thousands of humans, unaware of the approaching danger, were caught in the blast, their lives extinguished in an instant.
Lilith, however, moved with a speed that defied the destruction. She soared into the sky, laughing as the blast passed beneath her, her voice echoing through the chaotic winds. "Oh, sister! You've become ruthless! Killing all these poor humans without hesitation? I love it!" She mocked, her eyes gleaming with amusement.
"Where was that when we fought before? You've grown colder, Elysia."
Elysia hovered in the air, her expression still as stoic as ever. "I didn't come here for words, Lilith. I came to end you."
Lilith's laughter died down, her smile fading into a more serious expression. "End me? Please. You couldn't do that before, and you certainly can't do it now."
Their eyes locked, and the tension in the air grew thicker. Without another word, the two fairies launched themselves at each other, their power colliding with such intensity that the very sky seemed to tremble. Light and darkness swirled around them as their magic clashed, sending shockwaves rippling across the landscape.
The ground quaked violently, and the skies above darkened as their fierce battle unfolded.
Lilith attacked first, her dark energy erupting from her palms in waves, but Elysia countered with a barrier of light, deflecting the attack effortlessly. Elysia retaliated with a blast of radiant energy, forcing Lilith back, but the Dark Fairy Queen merely laughed, her body twisting gracefully as she evaded the strike. The sky above them raged, clouds swirling in response to their battle.
Every time they clashed, the sheer force of their blows caused hurricanes to tear through the nearby kingdom. The earth groaned beneath the weight of their power, and buildings crumbled in the distance as the ferocity of their fight grew.
"You've improved," Lilith admitted, a wild grin spreading across her face. "But you'll need more than that to seal me this time!"
Elysia remained silent, her focus razor-sharp. She wasn't fighting for the thrill of it—she was fighting to end this, once and for all. With a surge of magic, she conjured a massive spear of light and hurled it at Lilith. The dark fairy dodged but felt the spear graze her side, searing her skin.
"I'll give you one thing," Lilith said, her grin faltering for a moment as she touched the wound. "You're serious this time."
Elysia's response was swift. She wasn't here to exchange pleasantries or acknowledge Lilith's taunts. Her only objective was to seal her sister.
The fight escalated, each blow pushing their powers to greater limits, until finally, both of them hovered in the sky, panting, staring at each other with newfound respect.
"This isn't enough," Lilith muttered, her eyes glinting with excitement. "It's time to stop playing, Elysia."
Elysia nodded, her expression grim. "Agreed."
Both sisters began gathering immense amounts of power, preparing for their large-scale techniques. The very air seemed to pulse with energy as they prepared to unleash their most devastating attacks yet.
