Chapter 287: Darklings

Mary pleading looked at Kana, who had stealthy moved behind Creige to stay out of view. "Okay, everything is set then, Kana, you and your husband can follow Tamy here. She will bring you to your room. As for Mary, Brosis will take you to begin training with the new recruits. Trust me, as long as you survive, you will become incredibly strong. I have to deal with some things now, so have a good rest."

Camlia"s body vanished as she finished giving out orders. Tamy, a cat girl with blue hair, bowed to Kana and Creige. "Miss Kana, sir Creige this way, please."

"Wait, Kana! Save me!" Mary finally yelled out pleadingly.

Kana lowered her head as she said: "Big Sister said you could become strong so…. Do your best!" It was not that Kana wanted Mary to suffer under harsh training, but there were two things making it so she would not help. The first was that If she said something, Camlia might send her to do the training as well. And second and the most important, she was about to go into a room alone with Creige. She didn"t want to be disturbed.

Mary could only lower her head while pouting while Brosis dragged her away. "Miss Mary, do not worry, the new recruit training is easy. You just need to slowly get used to the heat."

"Huh? Heat!?" Mary tried her hardest to escape from Brosis"s grasp, but she failed no matter what she tried. She could only submit to her fate. She made sure to note down how to cry and complain to Kana later.

As for Kana, she found the decor of the castle to be very intriguing. There were many paintings on the wall of Camlia in different poses, but each one had a dead person under her foot. There were even statues depicting her. "Is Big Sister more narcissistic than Naru?"

"Our queen has been alone for many thousands of years. We have tried to find her a husband many times, but when it comes down to it, they can not seem to go all the way because our queen is eternally young." Tamy explained.

"I see... that would be a problem…." Kana couldn"t even dream of being with Creige in her younger form. It would just feel wrong no matter how old she was.

"Yes, this is why we do all we can to try to help her Highness not feel too lonely. Luckily she has taken you as her sister. This makes us feel rest a.s.sured that she has new people around her." Tamy said with a smile. "This is your room. Do not worry, it is fully soundproof. " With a wink, Tamy opened the door and allowed the two to enter before closing the door. And as soon as the doors were closed, Kana jumped on Creige, kissing him all over.

While Kana was indulging in her time with Creige, something strange was happening at the edge of h.e.l.l. "How long has this been happening?" Camlia asked.

"Your Highness, it has only been going on for a month now. We are having a hard time keeping the barrier up." A young woman around 17 years of age stood there in a white lab coat and had a pair of round rimmed gla.s.ses on her face.

"I see... Even I do not dare roam the abyss. That place is uncharted, and anyone who has dared to risk it has never returned. What is worse is these d.a.m.n darklings. Mel, use more souls to strengthen the barrier. As many as needed until I can find a solution. Right now, our main task is to hold them off for as long as I can. We only know that Darklings are drawn to light. I am sure many millions of years ago before I was even born, h.e.l.l used to be a much bigger place." Camlia looked at the black ooze like monsters that were gathering together, pus.h.i.+ng on the barrier. There were at least a few million as far as Camlia could tell.

"I will do it right away, Your Majesty. By the way, Your Majesty, I heard you took on a sister. Is this true?" Mel asked.

"Mmm… Kana is very interesting. She was even able to summon me. Because of that I made a blood soul bound with her making her officially my sister. My blood now flows in her veins. As she grows stronger her power will be much more than it seems. At least Old Dan"s system can"t detect my blood. The system I have now was formed between the two of us working together. I almost killed the old guy at that time. Anyway, whatever you do, do not try to hit on Kana"s husband, she will kill you." Camlia gave a friendly reminder before disappearing.

Mel stood there with a smile on her face. "Who wants the husband? From what I heard, Kana is very beautiful. I wonder if she will take me as her concubine?" A scheming light flashed through Mel"s eyes as she put this thought to the back of her mind knowing work comes first. "I will try to seduce her later."

Camlia entered her office and sat down behind her desk that had stacks of papers on it and sighed. "I leave for a short time and all this paperwork piles up. It may be a week before I can finish it."

Mortal realm….

"Your Majesty, these are the results of our investigation." An elf elder walked over and handed Claine a long report.

Claine read over it and frowned upon seeing what was detailed within it. "So half of Kriren has been taken over by an insectoid race? Where did such a large concentration of them come from?"

"We are not sure Your Majesty, we only know compared to the insectoid races living in our society these ones seem to love eating the other races..." The elf elder lowered his head. He had lost many of his people due to this.

"Then we will need to form a defensive line. We will hold a world council and see what the other leaders think."
