Chapter 29 - Chapter 29 : The Queen of the Lamias

" The king of the lizardmen is called Lartra who is the greatest warrior amongst his species. Lartra as been sending marriage proposal to me over and over again "

" So why don't you just say no? " Fenrir asked. 

" I did it many times, however this time I fear it got worse. A few days ago Lartra sent an envoy stating that he's declaring war against my people and won't stop until I accepted his marriage proposal "

" Why not run away? " Eve ask. 

" The Lamias are a coldblooded species and can only thrive in warm climate. If we leave then we won't be able to find a place for us. My people aren't fighters and we requested help from the giants and the humans but they turned us down. "

" And so you came to us not going to happen. I'm not going to risk my life for a people I don't know "Lucifer said. 

" I agree with the young master, " Eve said.

The Queen got up from her seat and move the curtains away. Both Fenris and Eve were surprised when they saw her. The Queen was beauty unlike what they're ever seen. Her hair was jet black and shiny, Her eyes were golden and her tail is black. Her skin was purewhite her body was curvaceous from her shoulder to her large bust straight to her waist. Her long black bangs covered the right side of her face. She only wore a black bra and underwear laced with gold.

Her body is also adorned with a golden necklace, Hand bangles, Bracelets, Earrings, Rings and a choker. Her beauty was so overwhelming and Eve felt inferior to her.

- Her power level is 1700 -

Fenrir thought to herself. 

The Queen slithered closer to them and held out the elixir in her hand, it was a small glass bottle with a red liquid inside. 

" Please help us, My people and I will forever be in your debt "She saids. 

" I decline "

Lucifer turns and walks away from there.

" Hold on Lucifer, I think we should help them "Fenrir said

Lucifer stopped and listened to her. 

" For the Queen to ask us personally it out be in dire need of our assistance and besides we monsters have to look out for each other while the world is turned against us and lucifer you need all the allies you can get "

Fenrir explains and Lucifer remains silent for a while. 

" Tell me, Is the elixir that special? " He asked. 

" Yeah, Do you know how hard it is to get one ? People have died looking for it " Fenrir explained. 

"...Fine I'll help them just this once " Lucifer said and with a happy smile on her face the Queen slithered over to him and handed him the elixir. 

" Thank you so much..if there is anything you need please let us know "

" How about some houses and food "

" Consider it done, Ah... Do you have any more allies joining you? "

" The three of us will be enough your majesty "

" Please just call me Lelania " She said with a smile

Lucifer just walked away from her without saying a word. Fenrir and Eve followed behind him as well leaving Lelania standing there.

" My queen, Do you think they will be able to handle it? " asks her attendant. 

" I have a feeling they can more than handle it "

- That boy is different from all the men who came here. Most men would instantly be taken away by my beauty but he didn't show any interest at all and his aura is incredible, it was as if I'm standing in the presence of a mighty dragon. I'll have to keep a close eye of that one -

Lelania to herself as she licks her lips.

A hut was prepared for them to stay in. It has three beds and a room to take a bath in warm water. Lucifer removes his jacket and hands it to Eve who neatly folds it up. He turned his head to Fenrir who was sitting in a chair looking through the window while eating an apple. 

" Fenrir, what can you tell me about the lizardman ? "

" They're a very prideful race. They think they are descendants of the great dragon's themselves but in reality they are just humanoid lizards. Like the Giants they are a warrior type race and lives in the Marshland and their skilled with bows and spears and like the Dark Elves they worship lord Indura "

" I see, I do hope this is worth it, The Lamias are relatively weak and... "

Before Lucifer could finish Fenrir place both her hand on wall caging Lucifer in. 

" You don't worry about the Lamias, They get away with it once and I won't let it happen again "

" What are you talking about? "

" You know exactly what I'm talking about "

Fenrir used her hand to lift Lucifer's face to her. She looked at his soft lips and smiled even wider. 

- Isn't this supposed to be done the other way around? -

Eve asks herself as she watches. 

" Only I'm allowed to seduce you understood " Fenrir stated and Lucifer slapped her hand away. 

" Stop with this nonsense and get some sleep "

He then walks over to Eve and hands her the elixir. 

" Here drink this "

" You're giving this to me?! "

Eve was shocked to see that Lucifer gave her the elixir casually. 

" I have no use for this "

" And besides you're the weakest one amongst the three of us so you should drink it " Fenrir said.

Eve looked at the elixir in her hand, thought twice about it and turned the bottle to her head. She could feel power rushing through her body.

" My body feels so much lighter "

" Yeah and your power level has risen to 5240 "Fenrir explained. 

Later that night while Fenrir and Eve were sleeping on the two corner beds, Lucifer remained sitting by the window under the moonlight. 

" Black Jack come to me "

Suddenly his shadow widened again and under the light of the moon Black Jack appeared out of his shadow kneeling before him. Lucifer looked at the mask man before him and noticed that the light in his eyes changed as well. 

" My Lord, How can this humble servant be of service to you ?"

" I need you to go over to the Lizardman's Territory and tell them to call off this war three times. If they fail to comply within that time then return immediately "

" As you wish "

" Before you go, I'll give you the name Black Jack, It suits you so keep it "

" Thank you for this generous my Lord ,I won't fail you "

Black Jack vanished into the shadows of the dark. Lucifer got up from his seat and went to the  bed located in the middle. 

In the meantime. 

The moonlight shines on the waters of the marshland. There were huts built on top of the water. Torches light up the village as the lizard man walks by. Humanoid lizards walking around on two legs had different colors scales from dark green to dark blue and dark red covering their body from their snouts to the tip of their tails. 

Inside one of the huts a large and muscular lizard with red scales and three scars over his right eye sits on a throne with two albino female lizardmen in his arms . On the table is a play filled with fish and he takes up a fish and swallows it whole. 

" Hahahahaha tonight we feast " He said, 

Suddenly a lizardman rushed in with a spear in his hand, He then quickly kneel before the lizardman sitting on the throne. 

" Lord Lartra, there is someone here to see you! "

" Who is it ?! "

Lartra and his female wives look at the entrance of the hut. 

" Do you feel that ?.... this person's aura it's stronger and sinister " Said one of Lartra wife

The person walks into the hut and it is Black Jack surrounded by a black mist. Lartra was nervous as looks at the person standing before him. Black Jack tipped his hat a little and his right eye glowed lime green under his mask. 

" Greeting king of the lizardman my name is Black Jack and I am an envoy sent here to speak with you by my lord and master "
