[ Hey all, previous chapter has been re-edited. You can read that before you come to this. Thanks. ]
The heavy steps was even making the buildings tremor twice othe times of that was caused due to the cries.
For a moment it even felt as if the sky was also shaking but that was just a delusion.
Nevertheless, all the fairies were shocked when they took a look at the huge monster which resembled a Gargoyle, walking towards them.
It had big black fangs that were clear seen on the outside.
It's Eyes was deep red and its skin seemed like the mixture of green and red.
It did have wings too, but those wings seemed quite small when compared to its size. To be precise, it hasn't spread its wings.
Just by walking, it's head was almost at the same level as the fairy queen who was flying so it probably didn't require the wings in the first place.
Furthermore, it was having no problem while walking in the holy light that was being flashed upon the place.
'Why...? Why isn't it affecting it?', the Fairy Queen was the one who was lost surprised by that.
She realized how powerful the foe this time was because even with the holy light, nothing seemed to have happening to the foe.
The power of holy light was ridiculously high and thus no normal evil monster could stand it.
Furthermore, the light was actually meant to affect the evil because of which it did r affect the fairies since they didn't have any ill intent right now.
So for a moment she thought that the foe might not have been evil, but she could clearly feel its evil energy which was completely shaking her too.
"No... why? Why did such a thing appear here?", she asked herself.
She raised her staff yet again towards the sky and said, "Oh lord, please bless us with your divine powers... MAXIMUM POWER!!!"
She shouted with all of her might immediately after which the intensity of light was increased threefold.
It was so powerful right now that it could even affect the fairies too which was quite dangerous, but she had already asked the royal fairies to evacuate others and only after knowing that all had left, she used that.
The only fairy that was in the range of the light was she herself and without a doubt she was gravely affected by that.
The reason was simple, no one was completely completely devoid of evil.
Even the purest of the fairies had a little bit of evil thoughts which included excess greed or other things.
No matter how small those things were, without a doubt those were evil as it was judged by the nature and Gods.
And thus, she was being affected by that. Her long beautiful wings were slowly turning pale.
It was hurting her a lot but she couldn't possibly stop the casting of the magic because the survival of all the fairies depended on that.
She looked here and there and found that just by the touch of the light, most of the gargoyles were perishing almost immediately which was a good sign for her.
But when she raised her gazes towards the huge Gargoyle monster that was walking towards her, she found that almost nothing was happening.
"Eh...? Wha-", she was astonished by this and could hardly understand the reason for this happening.
"It can't be... how... just how is he Alright?", she asked because it didn't make sense that an evil being was alright with the extra intensity of the light.
She didn't know what else she could do because if she were to remove this magic, then the smaller and weaker gargoyles might end up rushing towards the evacuates area and the palace where other fairies had escaped to.
That could have been the worst case because they would literally kill all of them or would actually turn them to their slaves.
In fact, the worst possible scenario that was in the legends could also happen.
In the legends it was told that, The fairy queen and the Gargoyle king once had a war.
The Gargoyle king had almost won the war and they had captured more than 70% of the kingdom of fairies.
But the fairies ended up winning in the end and sent the gargoyles away.
The worst possible thing that had hapepned in this was that the fairies were eaten alive.
Either their hand or ears or legs or any other organ would be removed from their body and would be hogged upon.
That was the worst thing that had happened which had completely shaken the entire world because up till then it was believed that the gargoyles were peace loving and were basically herbivores!!!!
They did observe their canine like sharp teeth but despite that it was believed that they never hunted anything and probably because of thatbtheur nation was prospering due to the alliance that was caused.
But after that it was clarified and now that the fairy queen took a look at the Gargoyle coming in front of him, and the thought of using some other magic came into her mind, she recalled the legends.
"No... that shouldn't happen... no matter what..."
"The fairies shouldn't end in such a way...", she said.
She just closed her eyes and started to sacrifice her own life force in order to strength the light.
The intensity of the light kept growing and no Gargoyle could even linger around the area anymore.
Though it seemed as if that still didn't have any effect on the monster.
The fairy queen looked at that and understood that she had to give her everything in order to protect her dear ones that is her daughter and family.
"Oh dear lord..."
"The great alpha and omega..."
"The beginning and the end..."
"I request you..."
"Please bestow mercy to my people in return for my life...", was what she said in a low voice.
It seemed as if she was ready to sacrifice her life in exchange of the protection that she demanded for her kind.
Immediately after she said that, a large yellow coloured circle formed around her head.
The circle grew larger and larger and the light that was shining under that was giving off a totally different feeling.
The ring like structure then slowly decreased in size and settled on top of her head.
The long cover like wings that she was having had already grown into beautiful white wings which were now composed of feathers which resembled that if a bird.
"Wait... what...?"
Her clothes all of a sudden changed and now instead of long royal dress, she was having a white clothe which extended only till her knees.
"No... this..."
She lowered her gazes towards the ground only to find her body falling down with great speed.
"No... that's..."
She could hear all the fairies shouted and crying out loud.
"Her highnesssss!!!"
'BAM'
Her body dashed the ground and was completely covered with blood whereas she herself was perfectly flying in the same place.
She failed to understand what happened and just raised her head only to find the huge monster walking past her as if he couldn't see her.
"No... way...", she said with a low voice.
"It can't be..."
"No..."
"This can't be..."
"THIS IS MY SOUL!!!?"
It was only latter did she realise that she had been separated from her body and as now just a soul.
Moreover it seemed as if she had turned herself into an angel which was done without her consent or out of her thinking.
"This is a joke..."
"A big joke right?", she asked herself.
If the light was still shining brightly while no gargoyles could enter that way.
The huge Gargoyle mister easily passed and reached the castle within a matter of few seconds.
She could see everything that was happening with her own eyes.
Many fairies died right away the moment the huge Gargoyle swung its hand and destroyed the castle completely.
"No!!! Lina!", she screamed, but he voice wasn't heard by anyone.
She moved towards them and took a look at all, but it was of no use because they could neither see her nor hear her.
She tried to tell them what to do but it was completely futile.
She wanted to do something for them, but right now in her condition she herself was helpless.
All of a sudden she heard some loud voice.
"Dark Zone!!!"
The voice was quite loud on hearing which she dashed outside onmy to find that the entire city was covered with black mist or fog.
And thanks to that the gargoyles were able to enter the city and successfully entered the castle too.
"No... this ain't happening..."
She returned to the castle only to find that the gargoyles has captured many of the fairies and had literally started to cut their wings.
"Run!!!"
"Escape!!!"
She continually screamed no matter what she did, it was completely wasted.
Though she saw her own daughter and few more fairies run through the fairy gate or the wonder gate, she couldn't relax since the gargoyles followed them too.
All she could do was just wait and watch and due to this all that was left in her was Resentment.
She utterly detested the gargoyles but more than that, she detested the Gods.
"You Sly bastard!!! Curse you!!!"
"..."
