Reborn as an Extra

Chapter 149 A Queen's Sorrow... Part-3.

Historians considered the millennium-long 'Thousand-year demon extinction war' to be the dark times that were cruel and life was not worth much during those dark times.

There were thousands of intelligent races that joined the alliance and fought against the vast demon armies. The war was so devastating and extreme, that its after-effects can still be seen in various places in today's world.

Several hundreds of races went extinct in this struggle of survival, those who survived got to write down this history of wars and the peace that it brought. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by ɴovᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet

Among the many races that went extinct, one of the most influential and strong races was the dark elf race.

Blessed with a strong physique and pure mana, every soldier had the courage and might to fight the approaching advances of the demon army. Since the start of the war, they had hindered the demon army from taking over the Maya continent.

Dark Elf warriors swore to defend their homeland till death from the evil clutches of the demon army. Millions of great and noble warriors perished in this thousand-year-long war, but the demons seemed endless, their number never seemed to decrease at all.

More and more demons appeared as time went by.

Until King Allen Von Reinhart didn't put an end to this long war, demons were nigh impossible to extinguish thoroughly from this world. They were like cancer to this world.

Demons were extremely resistant, their reproductive abilities were unimaginably strong and even if a whole area was properly purified and every demon was killed in that area, somehow they still sprouted out.

They still continued to appear regardless.

Moreover, as time went by, demons developed extremely strong war techniques, around the end of the war they had developed the 'Perfect Mana Bomb' that they used to erase at least ten civilizations from the world map.

Dark Elves were one of the ten victims of the 'Perfect Mana Bomb'.

…

(A lore from the times when the mana Bomb was just about to be dropped on the Maya Continent…)

The 'Queen of Dark Elves' was a title given to the strongest female dark Elf warrior by their fellow dark elves.

Dark Elves had a tribal societal structure, they revered their queen and generals with utmost loyalty.

As the queen demanded them to defend their homeland during the war, the whole army of dark elves entered the battlefield and fought against the continuous waves of demon invasions with utmost loyalty to their homeland.

The Queen watched as her thousands of brethren were killed daily during that cruel war.

But even she was unaware of the fact that demons were going to use their new killing method 'Perfect Mana Bomb' on her own race.

The queen was a peak S-ranker herself, she was especially strong even among the strongest S-rankers. She personally defeated many S-rank demons that were wreaking havoc on the battlefields.

Her spear arts that were passed down from generation to generation was one of the strongest techniques of its time. With her mighty spear in her hand, she slayed thousands of demons for fifteen years.

The previous queen died in battle and she had inherited her position fifteen years ago, now she commanded the thousands of troops of the dark elven army and fought on the battlefield as the queen of the dark elves. (She would be later known as the 'Last queen of the Dark Elves' by historians…)

…

That one afternoon.

As the queen stood on the peak of a hill, she watched the army rest after fending off yet another wave of demons.

Her generals and trusted comrades approached her with worried expressions on their faces.

"My queen, please listen to our request… it's not important for you to go to the western battlefield yourself… that place is too dangerous, several S-rank demons are present in that battlefield…"

"I advise that you should send some other S-rank warrior to that place! Your life is more precious for the unity of the dark elves… if something happened to you, our armies will lose morale greatly!"

Hearing the worried tone of her comrades, the queen shook her head and replied in a determined tone.

"No, I need to go there personally, we can't afford to lose the western front if that place got breached… the demon army will directly be able to enter the capital city and all other adjacent cities…" (Queen)

"And you know what those vile demons do to the captured cities… they burn everything down, they kill children and men alike and women are…. Sigh" (Queen)

Great hatred flashed in the queen's eyes. She knew of the cruel and vile nature of the demons all too well.

"Others won't be able to keep those S-rank demons in check, I will go there myself, prepare a small battalion to escort me back to the teleportation altar… and keep this battlefield in check when I am gone…" (Queen)

Hearing the determined tone of their queen, the generals had no choice but to comply with her orders. They also knew that only their queen was strong enough to keep several enemy S-rankers in check.

…

After a few minutes of delay, the small escort battalion was prepared and the queen left for the teleportation altar.

They had been covert and careful in their movements, yet demons spotted them retreating.

Thousands upon thousands of demons swarmed the unfortunate retreating battalion. The demons even followed them into the caves and continued to pursue them for hours without getting tired.

"My queen, it seems they have carefully prepared this ambush, there are at least three S-rankers just to keep you at bay…"

"Yeah I know-" (Queen)

Before she could finish her sentence, that comrade who was just speaking to her got pierced through the heart by the spear of the enemy S-rankers and died in an instant.

The battle became more and fiercer as time went by. The number of demons continued and the number of her comrades continued to decrease as time went by.

From the entrance of the caves to the central chamber, the dark elves pushed through with their whole might and continued to retreat in the hope of at least teleporting their queen out of this place.

But it was all hopeless. The number of the enemy S-rankers increased to five and the queen was not able to save even a single of her comrades. All died under the weapons of the demon army.

Even then, without caring for her own well-being, the queen continued to fight relentlessly, she fought for hours and eventually killed three of the enemy S-rankers with her own hands.

But just when she was still fighting the rest of the two enemies, an extremely strong shockwave spread. The mana became chaotic and violent, the fallen corpses started to explode like balloons due to the violent mana.

The queen witnessed the other two demons explode and die in front of her. She tried to use her mana detection but it didn't work due to the chaotic mana.

She was still safe from the chaotic mana due to the ancient spears she held in her hand protected her.

"N-No way!!" (Queen)

With her years of experience and knowledge, the queen had already understood what had happened all of a sudden.

She had heard about the 'Perfect Mana Bomb' during the alliance meetings, but she was assured by the other members of the alliance that no such bomb would come her way as the SS-rankers of the demon race would be kept on watch by them.

Only an SS-ranker is capable of using and activating that insanely strong bomb and if an SS-ranker of the demon race moves from towards the Maya continent, the other races will notice them immediately.

The Dark Elves had no SS-rankers, thus they had to rely on the other races for help in keeping watch for them too.

But that day everything turned out to be for naught.

A giant sword suddenly descended from the sky and pierced through the ground. It made a gigantic hole in the ground and directly pierced through the queen's heart in an instant.

The queen was not able to react for a while, she raised her head and looked at the figure of a demon standing in the sky through that giant hole. Bright moonlight shined from behind the demon and fell on her face.

The last thoughts of the queen were.

'They broke the promise, they didn't keep a watch on the movements of the demon generals… we dark elves were betrayed by the alliance…' (Queen)

The queen glared at the figure in the sky with great hatred in her eyes.

'An SS-rank demon had made its way into the Maya continent… otherwise, we would have never lost…' (Queen)

'Forgive me, father… I didn't fulfill the promise to make our homeland free of demons…' (Queen)

'Forgive me, comrades… I wasted your sacrifices…' (Queen)

As the eyes of the Queen closed in silence, the figure of the demon in the sky disappeared instantly, as if it was never there to begin with.
