Currently standing inside the witch queen's home Sekke and his fellow black bulls were looking at the queen with slightly wary expressions on their faces.
"We have done our job of dealing with those people who attacked your home so give us the magic stone just like we talked about," said Sekke still feeling a bit angry towards her.
The witch queen stared at Sekke for a while and then started fiddling with her earring and detached the magic stone from it.
"Here, take this I don't need it anyways." said the witch queen and threw the magic stone towards Sekke who caught it and stared at it.
"Why are the eye of Midnight sun after these magic some anyways? Do you know about it, queen?" asked Vanessa as she looked at the stone in Sekke's hand.
Hearing the question Sekke focused as well and kept the stone in his storage.
"That magic stone is a magical item that heightens the wearer's powers, but only those of the elf tribe are truly able to use it." answered the queen.
"Elves?" asked Asta and Noelle in unison.
"..."
Sekke remained silent and thought about whether he could use the magic stone that was in his possession or not. He had never tried using it because...well he didn't feel the need to. Not to mention he wasn't going to outright give away the location of his magic stone and have the elves target him and his close ones.
'Forget it. I will deal with it when the time comes.' thought Sekke as he snapped out of his thoughts.
The queen took a deep breath and then looked back at the kids in front of her.
"The elves possessed great power. Though, not to the level of legendary dragons(glances toward Sekke). They lived in what is now called the Forsaken Realm several centuries ago. Each elf had an extraordinary amount of magical power. But, the humans outnumbered them, and when they fought them, the elves were annihilated." said the witch queen as she paused to let the information sink in.
"That Fana girl's third eye...That is forbidden magic. But that girl wasn't the one who activated that spell. It was someone else. Ordinary humans are unable to meddle with forbidden magic." said the witch queen.
"I-I'm so completely lost," said Asta as his brain started to overheat from the info dump he just received.
"Activating forbidden magic requires a tremendous amount of mana and some sort of sacrifice. The ancient demon was also a top-level forbidden spell activated by the leader of the elves."
And immediately all of them except for Sekks widened their eyes in surprise as Asta started thinking about the demon skull at his village.
"It could be that the Eye of the Midnight Sun are descendants of the elves."
"And Asta, the two swords you bear...They are the ruined remains of the magic sword used by the elves' leader."
"...What does that mean?!" shouted Asta as imaginary steam burst out of his head and Asta fell unconsciously on the floor.
"...He reached his limit," muttered Sekke with a helpless look on his face.
The others just looked at Asta and commented on his stupidity.
While this was going on Sekke noticed that the witch queen got up from her throne and soon floated down and landed in front of him.
"...Sekke...are you aware of your heritage?" asked the witch queen.
"...What heritage?"
"Your parents, your origins and all?"
"Yes, I know my mom and dad. Why? Are you trying to threaten me?" replied Sekke in a cold tone.
The witch queen shook her head and said, "I have no intention of doing that(Not like I can harm a dragon anyway. That would be just me jumping towards my death.)" thought the witch queen having a misunderstanding about Sekke's parents.
"Sekke, I want to request something from you."
"...You sure are shameless to ask for a request after attacking us like that," said Sekke.
"...At least hear me out?"
"...Speak. Though I will not abide by i-"
"Can you copulate with me? Asked the witch queen in a calm tone.
The whole room immediately turned silent as all of them just blinked in surprise for a while.
"...HAHHHHHHH!!!!" screamed all of them except for the witch queen once they snapped out of trance.
Sekke was taken aback by her request and immediately took a few steps back and pointed his finger at her.
"W-W-What the hell are you talking about?!?! You pedophile which!!! Where the hell did that come from?" asked Sekke.
"Oi oi oi! What the hell is happening? What is copulate?" asked Asta.
"Shut up Bakasta!!" yelled Noelle as she slapped Asta away.
The witch queen who was totally unbothered by the ruckus around her stepped closer to Sekke once again and held the hand that was pointing at her.
"There are only so many chances that I will get when someone strong and with a great heritage like you exist. I can surely envision that the result of our copulation will be extremely powerful...So Sekke I ask you again, copulate with me."
Sekke immediately freed his hand and moved away from the witch queen feeling totally grossed out by her.
'She is giving a crazy amount of Stella vibes. She is a crazy. And dark lord or not, "Don't stick your d*ck in crazy"' thought Sekke.
"Good choice my other half," said Vritra.
"Like hell, I am gonna do that!!"
"Hm? But don't you guys like to have a strong mate? I can confidently say that there are hardly any mates you will find that would be stronger than me." said the witch queen.
'Don't dragons look for strong mates to copulate with and have the urge to leave behind a successor?...' thought the witch queen.
"What type of mentality is that?! Like hell, I have that kind of preference!!!" exclaimed Sekke.
"Not to mention that you are Vanessa-san's mother. Have some shame!!!" complained Sekke.
"He is right my queen why are even you doing this?" asked Vanessa.
The witch queen looked at Vanessa and asked, "I don't think that there is anything wrong with what I am saying."
Everyone except for Asta looked at her with a deadpan look on their faces not knowing what to tell her.
Sekke sighed and said, "Sorry, but I am not interested in the offer. I have a lot of things that I have to do and don't have the time to waste."
The witch queen stared at Sekke who stared back at her. The two locked eyes for a while before the witch queen sighed.
"Well, I tried." and shrugged her shoulders and flew back to her throne, and sat once again.
Sekke sighed as well and thought, 'Crazy avoided.'
After that, the black bulls left her home leaving behind Vanessa so that she can talk a bit more with her mother.
They said their farewells with the diamond kingdom duo of Mars and Ladros, while Fana, Fanzell, Domina, and Mariella went their separate way.
Some with the mission Asta looked at his arms and soon embraced all of his friends.
"Everyone! Thanks a lot for getting my hands healed!!!" yelled Asta as he held Finaral, Noelle, and Sekke in his embrace. Ainz evaded the shorty to protect his bones from getting snapped.
"Alright, Alright. Calm down. No naked hugging between guys. Leave me." said Sekke as he pushed himself away from Asta.
Both of them had their clothes burnt with both of them being bare-chested. Though they still had their pants which were slightly burnt and were still protecting their dignity.
Realizing that she was hugging bare-chested Asta, Noelle immediately pushed herself away and started hitting Asta with a blush on her face.
Finral just laughed at the scene and after a while Vanessa arrived after talking with her mother.
Sekke looked at the witch's forest for one last time before Finral opened the portal back to their base and all of them teleported away.
