Chapter 73 - Pixie Queen

When the morning arrived, Albert and Yale immediately set out to meet the pixie located on the border between the Lust Kingdom and the Pride Kingdom.

While walking, Albert asked, "By the way, what's the pixie's power again?"

"Their power is relatively weak. According to the information, the pixie has the ability to manipulate wind and release pollen.

"However, to get stronger, they usually absorb the energy from the people. The Lust Kingdom is a perfect place for them to harvest the energy because when you're having sex with a succubus, you release excess energy during the day.

"The succubus usually harvest their energy completely. And the pixie usually gets the leftover energy.

"But I think they can't gather much energy from there recently and they choose to go to the Pride Kingdom and use the people in our town to harvest the lust energy by releasing their pollen.

"Since the pixies have done something like this, we can safely assume that they don't have enough energy to get stronger or even to replenish everything they use during the day.

"Hence, they should be relatively weaker compared to normal pixies. In addition, they're not that strong to begin with."

Albert thought for a moment and nodded in understanding. "So, that's why you don't mind agreeing with their request."

"Yes. There is a little possibility of it being a trap. And if it's indeed a trap, we can know whether Her Majesty Lilith really wants to form a beneficial relationship with us." Yale confirmed it with a nod.

"Alright. That's good enough for us."

They continued walking toward the pixie settlement.

It took them four hours to reach there, but they finally arrived in front of a small forest that was only half a mile radius in size.

"They're in there. We can bonk them immediately."

"Do we need to kill them?" Albert asked. Although he didn't mind killing, he wanted to know whether it was alright to do it or not. After all, unlike the mindless creatures that acted with their instinct, the pixies were smart enough to recognize them.

So, he wanted to know Yale's thoughts regarding this matter.

"We will bonk them first and head to their queen. As I said earlier, they're not that strong right now, so we will try to talk it out. If it's not possible, we will kill them. Of course, we will bonk every single pixie we encounter." Yale smirked.

"Alright." Albert smiled, feeling excited.

They focused on their ears, making sure they didn't leave a single sound pass as they made their way to the forest.

Surprisingly, the pixies didn't even intend to hide as they found their first three pixies.

What they heard was truly shocking.

"See you later. We're going to harvest more Lust Energy today." One of the pixies said without any remorse in her voice.

Albert and Yale exchanged looks as they seemed to have found their targets.

Albert opened his system to get their number right, making sure there was no ambush. He also wanted to use this feature to complete his scouting mission.

[Horny Targets: 11]

When the pixies left the woods, they immediately saw the incoming pair.

"What?!"

"A Demon Dog and a Werewolf?" Another pixie dropped their jaw.

But before they could react, Albert hit two pixies while Yale bonked the last one.

Bonk!

Bonk!

Bonk!

The three pixies were launched back into the woods as Albert took the liberty to check their power.

Name: Amie

Race: Pixie

Level: 25

Gender: Female

The other two had a similar status, making Albert a bit more confident in completing this mission.

"Let's go."

"Understood."

The two entered the forest.

It was such a beautiful place if they had the time to look around. The wind gently brushed their skin, the trees weren't too dense, allowing sunlight to illuminate and warm the forest, and there were no dried leaves visible on the ground.

Unfortunately, they didn't have time to enjoy such beautiful scenery as they were on their guard, trying to locate the pixies as they moved deeper into the forests.

They caught up with the pixies that they hit earlier.

"Gale!" One of them used her spell, trying to push them away.

But both Albert and Yale had enough speed to avoid the torrential green-colored wind that came out of her hands.

After that, the other two pixies fired the same thing to hinder them.

Unfortunately for them, both Albert and Yale were that strong. They managed to reach the pixies as they grasped them in their hands.

"What?!"

"Release us!"

"How dare you?!"

The pixies were screaming with their cute high-pitched voice as they struggled to escape from their hands.

"We don't want to make trouble with you as long as you tell us your queen's position," said Yale with a demanding tone as if he planned to kill them in case they didn't answer him.

But the pixies seemed to be more loyal than he expected as one of them shouted, "I don't care. Kill me! No matter what, we're going to die sooner or later because of the lack of energy!"

"Hey, don't tell our secret to them!"

"Oop!" The pixie immediately shut her mouth as if she realized what she had done.

"Ho? That's an interesting piece of information you have there." Yale's eyes brightened.

Their faces became pale as Yale planned to exploit them even further.

However, Albert had another idea that could make them confess. He smiled, "There's no need to say anything to them. We won't ever get our information from them."

"Teacher?" Yale widened his eyes, not believing what he just heard.

"That's right."

"You won't get anything from us."

Albert smirked evilly as he stated, "Since we won't get anything from them, we can continue exploring this forest until we find them. In other words, every pixie we catch or even kill from this point on is their fault."

Yale was surprised with his statement as he thought, 'To think he takes advantage of the pixie's loyalty to force them to reveal their location while giving a reasonable argument for us to bonk more pixies. No wonder he is my teacher.'

Yale didn't have any argument to refute that and there wasn't a need for one as he completely agreed with him.

"Understood. Let's move to another area."

The pixies went pale, imagining the pixies that were going to suffer after this was due to their fault.

Albert didn't care about their emotion as he and Yale ran to the left, searching for another group of pixies.

The moment they heard something, they hurriedly moved to that place and ambushed them.

Bonk!

Bonk!

Bonk!

Another three pixies were hit and blown away like them. But this time, Albert stated, "Haha, killing pixies is easy!"

He just wanted to check the pixie's intelligence and realized he hit the jackpot when they actually believed his words.

They forgot the fact they didn't feel any pain despite getting blown away like them. In other words, the pixies didn't die.

Still, they didn't realize that fact as Albert and Yale had already made their way to another place, abandoning the pixie corpses.

They continuously bonked more pixies while acting like a bad guy as though they had killed all the pixies they had encountered.

This just scared them as they began to rethink their decision.

Suddenly, Albert and Yale stopped for a moment as the latter demanded, "Tell us your queen's location or you will see more like them."

The pixies reconsidered their choice.

"She is…" One of them seemed to have given up.

However, the other one immediately shouted, "Hey, don't say it! If we give the queen's location to them, there will be more pixies that are going to die."

The moment Albert heard that, he smiled. "Well, it's not like I care about it. I think hunting pixies is more enjoyable. We will kill the pixies around the forest first before searching for the queen. Even if they tell us anything, we will continue to hunt the pixies."

"Yes, Teacher." Yale knew it was a bluff, but it was necessary to make the pixies confess.

The three pixies continued watching how their brothers and sisters got killed by a single swing from both Yale and Albert as they started crying.

"Please, don't kill them anymore! I will give you the location."

"Don't tell them. All the pixies there might be killed by them."

"But if we don't do anything, more pixies will die and the moment they find the queen, their fate will be the same. And this is happening because we're not giving the location away."

The pixies started crying, but Albert and Yale didn't stop. They tried to ignore their pleas until one of them confessed the queen's location.

It was at this time Yale stopped Albert, "Teacher! Can we… Now that we have the information, we should stop this mindless killing. I have been following you without any complaints, but there's always a limit. There's no need for unnecessary killing like this!"

"Hmph. They're wasting our time this whole time. I'm pissed." Albert grumbled, acting as a bad guy.

They had been good at acting from the start as their talents seemed to click, creating an instant plot in their mind the moment they began to act.

Yale acted as the good guy that stopped his teacher to gain the trust of the pixies.

Albert was snarling for a minute before he finally agreed with Yale after seeing his serious expression.

The pixies felt relieved that they didn't plan to kill more pixies, unaware that the pixies they hit never died in the first place.

They immediately headed straight to the queen according to the pixie's guidance.

It only took them ten minutes before they reached the heart of the forest.

There was a tree separated from the others. The tree itself was nothing special as it stemmed from the same species as any other trees in the surrounding.

However, the pixies dug a ditch surrounding the tree and made their tree houses on the tree.

It was quite a sight because the sun was illuminating the tree due to the distance from other trees that completely let the sunlight in. At the same time, the pollen pixies released and the light reflected by water actually made it look like the air was shining.

Still, the situation was the exact opposite of the scenery.

There were many pixies flying near the tree as they seemed to be arguing something.

Albert and Yale could hear their voices easily.

"We need to escape from this place, my queen. Those bad guys are going to come to this place sooner or later. You can't face them in your weakened state."

The queen shook her head and replied, "Instead of worrying about me, it's better if you bring the others to flee this scene. Since they're aiming at my life, I will be able to buy time for all of you to escape. This is my duty as the queen."

"My queen. You are the most important pixie among us. We can't go if you don't go!"

However, they soon realized they were being watched due to the crying voice from the pixies.

"Who's there?!" The queen furrowed her eyebrows.

Albert and Yale immediately released the pixies on their hands as they revealed their appearance.

Name: Guenlyn

Race: Pixie

Level: 54

Gender: Female

Albert checked her status while Yale stated, "We're here to talk with the queen, not killing you guys. Though, it might reach that point if you plan to fight us."

The pixies were angered when they saw the three pixies crying. They immediately raised their hands, planning to fight them to the bitter end.

However, the queen noticed something important. Albert and Yale seemed to have hit many of them, but none of them were injured, let alone dying. So, there must be some truth in their words.

Hence, the queen reconsidered his words before stating, "All of you stop! Since they want to talk, we will talk. I won't forgive any violence in this place.. However, if you two are planning to harm us, we won't hesitate in fighting back even if it's going to be the last thing we do."
