Damn, I Have to Marry the Strongest Antagonist at the Start?

Chapter 345: Chapter343-A Battle to the Death



Watching the Azure Kingdom's army tear through the dark elf forces with relentless power, the Dark Elf Queen's face darkened. She had once held a proud confidence, certain of victory.

After all, the dark elves' talents and strength far exceeded that of humans, overwhelming most mages.

But now, her forces were on the verge of collapse.

It was as if the powerful bloodline truly belonged to the Azure Kingdom's army, not her dark elf clan.

Clearly, the Azure Kingdom had been preparing for this battle for a long time.

Their forces had been lying in wait, ready for her to fall into their trap.

Realizing this, she glared at Leslie. "It seems you were prepared for this day all along. We completely underestimated you."

Leslie remained calm. Although she hadn't known the dark elves would interfere, she was aware that the disturbances within the Azure Kingdom were likely orchestrated by The Celestial.

Allowing Nidhogg to roam free had served a dual purpose: to hone Madelyn's skills and to set a trap for their enemies.

Now that the dark elf clan had shown themselves, they wouldn't be allowed to return.

"I didn't expect you to desire Owen," Leslie said, stepping forward as a fierce wind howled, dropping the temperature drastically.

The cold air was so biting it felt like steel needles piercing the lungs. "You dare to try and take my man? What right do you have?"

Initially, Leslie hadn't harbored much hostility toward the Dark Elf Queen, as they'd had no personal enmity—merely a difference in allegiance.

But this queen had dared to set her sights on her husband, and Leslie's fury ignited. Anyone who set their eyes on Owen was walking a path toward ruin.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The Dark Elf Queen sneered, unfazed by Leslie's deadly aura. "You, a lowly creature of the lower realms, are unworthy of someone like Owen. You think that ruling over a small domain gives you the right to defy The Celestial and stand above all?"

With that, she withdrew her focus from her clan and locked it entirely onto Leslie.

Since Owen and Leslie had come prepared, her army's defeat was inevitable.

Her only chance to turn the tides was to eliminate Leslie.

Killing Leslie would strike a devastating blow to the Azure Kingdom's morale and open the way to capturing Owen, the unparalleled genius, for herself.

Having made up her mind, the Dark Elf Queen prepared to strike, aiming to kill Leslie as swiftly as possible.

But as her aura surged toward Leslie, it seemed to encounter an invisible barrier, vanishing into thin air.

Her attack could no longer lock onto Leslie, as though her presence had become elusive.

The Dark Elf Queen's eyes narrowed in surprise. This was the first time she had ever encountered such a situation.

Leslie's tier was clearly only god-tier, far below her own celestial god level. She was an exalted celestial god, worshipped by countless mages!

As she tried to make sense of this strange phenomenon, she suddenly realized that Leslie's aura- and her very form-had vanished entirely.

It was as if Leslie had never been standing there at all, her presence elusive and unreachable. For the first time, a look of shock crossed the Dark Elf Queen's face.

Leslie's ability to evade her lock-on indicated that her true strength might rival her own.

Moreover, the technique Leslie used was unfamiliar, as if it weren't a conventional magic skill.

The Dark Elf Queen lightly tapped her smooth, porcelain-white foot on the ground, and an enormous ripple spread outward.

A vast, starry light array, majestic as the night sky, expanded from her center, covering a radius of thousands of meters.

Though Leslie's skill had caught her off guard, as a celestial god, her powers were vast and profound. It was now time to reveal her full strength.

"Darken the heavens!"

Her crisp voice echoed across the battlefield. Within the array's range, light seemed to be repelled, plunging the area into shadow.

A crushing pressure filled every inch of space, and the very air seemed compressed to near- solidness, warping under the weight.

"I've found you!"

With a cold smile, the Dark Elf Queen closed her pale fingers into a dark blade and sliced through a portion of the void beside her.

The cut produced a sharp screech, and as the dark blade passed through, a layer of white ice appeared, clashing with sparks as it met Leslie's concealed presence.

Leslie's form appeared amidst the sparks, flickering in and out of sight.

The Dark Elf Queen refused to let this opportunity slip by.

As her strike was deflected, a vision of stars collapsing manifested behind her, as though the universe itself were imploding.

Gigantic whirlpools, glittering with starlight, swirled toward Leslie like doomsday grinders.

In the face of the impending cataclysm, Leslie murmured, "So this is the power of a celestial god under The Celestial... Truly remarkable."

She had battled celestial gods before, but none as terrifying as the Dark Elf Queen.

Each movement of hers seemed capable of reshaping eras.

Leslie raised a finger, and a mixture of blood and icy runes shot forth, expanding into a

massive, icy meteor hundreds of meters in diameter.

The terrifying cold froze the void itself into a solid sheet.

The dark whirlpool slowed as it collided with the icy meteor, and then the two forces crashed into each other with a deafening roar.

BOOM!

The collision of the two women's ultimate attacks sent a chilling wave rippling outward, as if

a deathly flower bloomed in the sky.

Its pale petals spread, shattering and annihilating the void, releasing a thick, chaotic mist.

Stanley, Rachel, and the others tensed, holding their breath.

The scale of this battle was apocalyptic, as if the end of an era had arrived.

They could feel the deadly aura just by watching from afar, forcing them to unleash defensive

spells to shield themselves from the surging waves.

Everyone had a strong instinct that if they failed to block these ripples, they would be

obliterated and torn apart in an instant.

"Will big sister be alright?" Madelyn asked anxiously, looking at Owen.

Though Leslie had always been strict with her, Madelyn understood that it was to push her

potential.

But now, her opponent was a celestial god, The Celestial's Dark Elf Queen. While Madelyn had

great faith in Leslie, the gap in their power worried her.

Owen, too, stared intently at the turbulent ripples in the sky, his expression solemn.

However, unlike Madelyn's concern, he was calm.

The Dark Elf Queen was certainly formidable, but Leslie was destined to become a legendary

villain.

Her talent and achievements would surpass those of the Dark Elf Queen.

Even Owen, who had kept a close eye on Leslie's progress, couldn't fully comprehend the

extent of her power.

But one thing was certain-the victor of this battle would be Leslie.

The onlookers were all focused on Leslie's position.

They knew Leslie had embarked on a unique path, but they were still unsure of her limits.

Though rumors abounded about her strength after her long seclusion, none had seen her true

might in battle.

Thus, the extent of Leslie's combat abilities remained a mystery to them all.
