"Our methods have not differed as much as you pretend. I am but a shadowy reflection of you. It would take only a nudge to make you like me. To push you out of the light."- Dr. René Belloq

I couldn't bear to leave you guys hanging for so long after that so here's our 20th chapter at long last with Naruto and the girls continuing their showdown on Iruyana.

A SKETCHRAPTOR PRODUCTION

"Holy hell!" Arsura said as the undead Dark Elves swarmed about the land with Naruto's shadow clones taking all the injured aside from the still able-bodied Claudia away and Miria's blood ran cold as Shardio's mangled body stalked a distance from her. For a brief moment, she noticed his eye staying on her the entire time with a sense of pleading that Origa picked up in that of her former people as well and tightened her fist with Meiriin glancing to her.

"Miria…" Meiriin thought.

"My Daddy…damn your soul to oblivion by Anatolia's will, Iruyana!" Miria thought before briefly glaring about with no sign of said Dark Elf with Shardio lifting his hand and opening his palms to unleash great bursts of energy that temporarily obscured him. Without taking their eyes off where they had last seen him, Miria and Meiriin slit their palms while chanting and their bleeding took on appearances of red serpents.

The serpents sprang where Shardio had been as the energy faded with only the nearest of corpses now aglow with its resonance with the power subsiding with the undead with the power taking shape. As it affected each individual, the power then materialized into yellow irises in Galadriel with her looking around to see Iruyana hovering nearby as he glanced at the dual explosions in the sky and he descended to the earth once he decided them to be of no concern.

His eyesight caught Galadriel with her demise being the first thought to enter his mind upon seeing her while the pair stood in silence with somber expressions reflected in the other and her palms opening in his direction only for him to look away until he directed a small surge of energy at her feet with her beginning to walk off. She continued looking his way with a similar pleading expression akin to Shardio mixed with a sense of longing and he levitated into the air again.

"..Ir…yu..na.." Galadriel croaked with her hand still held in his direction with Iruyana flying away as his wife stalked off just as the magic-effected corpses began charging like gorillas with Kaguya flinging more of her talisman at them and blowing off their limbs. Claudia and Prim sliced the corpses apart while Shamsiel and the still-transformed Celestine taking to the air to fend off the bats alongside shadow clones while Miria and Meiriin kept Shardio at bay and his fingers began to move with Nana moving in to stab his head.

He suddenly jerked his upper body back with the knife instead piercing his throat and he swung his feet off the ground akin to a full twisting layout. With his feet landing on Nana's shoulders, the force knocked her down with Miria and Meiriin's blood serpents being grappled by Shardio while the two started to chant in unison with Naruto appearing before Iruyana with the fiend flying his way.

As the sage sprang at him, he hurled a kunai at his head with the Dark Elf ducking only for Naruto to form a hand sign and it was then he heard crackling electricity above him. He then looked up to see Origa appear from a puff of smoke to slam her energy-charged sceptre into his backside with a burst of electricity filling the air above him and Naruto gave the Dark Queen a supporting nod.

As this went on, Maia and Angelica still continued to guard Chloe with the corpses mouthing something as the skeletons' aura appeared on them with Hermione chanting while bowing her head. It was then the first few corpses and skeletons froze in place for a time with her nodding to Maia with the mercenary bashing her boot against the chest of the closest corpse only to hiss.

"Damn!" Maia's thought as how sturdy the corpse was compared to the skeletons with it reaching for her only for Angelica's chanting to completely stop as spell seals appeared before them with Shamsiel soaring overhead. Reaching out, her magic ensnared one corpse before lifting it with her wings slicing through one's neck using her mach with the bats now coming after her as Shardio raised his hands.

Despite now having his head, wrists, and ankles bound by magic seals from Nana's magic along with being bound by Kaguya's talisman, Shardio put a resistance to be reckoned with as Miria and Meiriin's serpents held strong with a bat swooped down at them with Celestine head-butting it along with her talons digging into it's neck with Arsura now standing between Claudia and Prim.

Serafina stood alongside Irena as she did some hand signs with runes appearing on very few of the corpses the next minute as they attacked the other corpses with Naruto's shadow clones utilizing Water Dragon jutsu to wash away some of the skeletons and the actual blonde infused his Hiraishin knives with wind chakra to behead most of them. Just then, the decapitated still continued to attack and he then used the blades to cut one undead being apart.

The blonde cut through the belly of an oncoming bat with Shamsiel ramming against it headfirst with her horns goring its eyes only for it to shriek at the top of its lungs. Breaking free as it began careening to the earth, she narrowly avoided the fangs coming down at her head and Prim was tackled by one of the corpses.

While the Dark Elf thrashed her against the earth, she managed to keep hold of her sword long enough for Arsura to slit its throat just as Claudia tore into its side and its head spun around to hiss at the Holy Knight. Prim thrust her sword through the back of its head with enough force to run it through as she fought her way out from beneath and tore the sword free only to swing it again through its neck.

As the head rolled away, Claudia grinded it beneath her boot into the earth with the still-moving being going completely limp and their allies picking up on this with Prim holding her free hand up. Shamsiel shot by with as she took her hand just as lightning flashed from where Origa had struck Iruyana and it was then fire unexpectedly erupted from the ground beneath the Chivalry in multiple locations.

Irena stood back to back with Arsura as the flames formed a ring that one of the shadow clones put out with water jutsu that became smoky and Chloe shielded her eyes as she and Hermione lost sight of the other. She then got her bearings enough to call out to Hermione and as the younger dark elf called back, Galadriel's hand burst from the ground before grabbing and covering both Chloe's throat and mouth.

As her daughter struggled as much as she could muster, Galadriel's eyes gleamed inauspiciously as she dragged her into the ground with the earth settling as though having not been breached with Hermione and the accompanying Maia and Angelica appearing.

"Chloe!" called out Angelica and Hermione only for more undead beings arrived with the Princess Knights springing into action as Shardio, still having his limbs bound by magic but had the talisman burning away just enough for him to see, shot overhead with Miria and Meiriin chasing him.

"Everyone, don't let him get near your shadow!" Miria called out with Shamsiel, still having Prim, and Celestine breaking off from the bats to dive-bomb the Dark Elf in quickly pursuing him from behind. Using her magic, she was able to ensnare his feet with him directing his body at her and casting the light pillars yet again.

Just before the succubus could grab a hold of him, he disappeared with Shamsiel flying back and looked around for any sign of him. Naruto watched as multiple shadowy hands appeared on Shamsiel that she immediately started fighting against with a few of them grabbing at Prim's head and the succubus started clawing at the hands in hopes she'd at least be able to free them with little progress being made.

"Shamsiel!"

"Naruto, Celestine-sama, whatever you do, don't touch them!" Meiriin called out as she fought against an undead and the Godly-powered beings flew ahead in unison. Using his one-tailed state chakra state, he grabbed Prim and the overwhelmed Shamsiel before separating them as Celestine caught the pink-haired Princess Knight with the shadows appearing on him and grabbing him as they manifested into Shardio's upper body now ablaze.

Grappling with him, Naruto felt his own shadow constrict multiple areas of his body with Shardio chanting just in time for the blonde to envelope them both in a massive Truth-Seeking Ball and only darkness surrounded them as he deactivated his Jinchuuruki form. Shardio's chanting came to a pause with the shinobi entering a meditative state akin to gathering Sage Mode with the Truth-Seeking Ball flying into the earth.

Now buried in the ground, Naruto broke free from the chakra-made orb before sending it skyward and burst from the earth. He looked to see the sphere fly off with no apparent sign of Shardio's shadow on him any longer and he joined the remaining Chivalry fighting from the ground.

Entering his V2 nine-tailed state, he plowed into the undead and skeletons alike as he decapitated them along the way while Claudia and the magic-wielding Hermione worked their way through the supernatural foes. It was then that yet another surge of Origa's power filled the air with the Dark Elves worriedly looking in said direction for a brief moment and returned to the task at hand.

Meanwhile

Sparks of electricity appeared on Iruyana's uninjured body as Origa held her sceptre still crackling with power and the Dark Queen looked to him as his hair was now akin to the comb of a rooster. He flexed his glowing crossbow-like-gauntlet before cracking his neck and seemingly yawned with his newly reformed tongue was glimpsed upon with her taking caution of his new form.

"Iruyana, I'll say it this final time: our allies are not your enemies."

"My Grace, while I know you believe these things are your allies; understand they'll turn against you the first chance that comes to them and bring ruin to all you hold dear." Iruyana said.

"And the best way to go about it is to do exactly what you're trying to warn me about? Is that your idea of honor?" The Dark Queen said with Iruyana's expression remaining the same as he looked to the Dark Elves and the brief imagination of him shaking any of the Chivalry's hands immediately went to his very scars appearing on Origa and her people. Instead, he tightened his fists while now giving his earnest stare to her and she remained in the same stance.

"Origa-sama, I learned about your war from Chloe's mind a short while ago; so either leave this task in my already- soiled hands or take my head off if you can." Iruyana said.

"Why did you hesitate to take my head off?!" Origa's mind echoed as she thought back to her first encounter with Naruto following Kuroinu's attack and her hands trembled upon the memory before focusing on Iruyana again or rather glimpsing of his scars.

"I'm not asking you to forget the pain you or your tribe suffered but…" The Dark Queen started to say with Iruyana yet again thinking about his family while all the warm thoughts allowed his heart to soften until he looked at Naruto and the Chivalry transform into Reuben and his island's raiders as the flashback came to an end with his bleeding body lying amongst his tribe's corpses. While his anger remained, tears appeared in his eyes as he stared at the ground and he placed his hand to his cheek.

Touching his face, his tears rolled down his fingers and he looked at them with a blank expression as if they were alien to him until he started chuckling with it continuously building. Origa stood in silence as Iruyana dementedly smiled while laughing and gripped his sides.

"I don't believe it; something like me actually has tears to shed after 1000 years! I am really am pathetic, aren't I?!" Iruyana's laughter now becoming hysterical to the point of him clutching his abdomen with tears continuing to flow with Origa not detecting any hint of sadness but instead picked up glee and could only tense once it came to an end. As Iruyana started walking her way, she once more found herself thinking back to her unstable mindset after her war; more specially as to how she would have wanted any form of death to escape the tragedy she had brought on her kind but this Dark Elf, this monster, was obsessed with bringing more at any cost he could in place of a relatively peaceful existence not unlike her initial beliefs.

Thinking about Iruyana's loss combined with years of his growing blood lust and isolation with his deteriorating stability, she couldn't help but question how she would've wound up had she lost her entire people and chose to spend her remaining days in isolation over joining the Chivalry. Again she focused on Iruyana now being closer than he was a moment ago and it was at that point she saw not him but herself as she looked during her warring days staring dead into her eyes with a stone-cold gaze devoted to only carrying out her goals at all costs.

Even after Iruyana walked past her without making eye contact, Origa continued to see her former image glaring back until she broke out of her stupor and followed him with a magic seal appearing before him as she gripped her staff. The male Dark Elf turned to her with the two staring at the other with Iruyana resignedly looking to her with she stood in place with her fighting allies behind her in the distance and he flexed his bony extensions and makeshift crossbow as they faced off.

Again seeing her former self, Origa gripped her sceptre while lowly beginning to chant and Iruyana visualized the Dark Queen as he appeared 1000 years ago while pleading for Reuben's life to be spared with his gaze instead becoming completely loathing. He utilized one of his extensions and twirled it about as he and Origa stared the other down with either readying themselves.

Only her ongoing chant filled the air as they launched themselves at the other and clashed with Origa attempting to bring her sceptre down onto Iruyana's head only for him to block her with the extension in his grasp functioning like a baton. Forcing her back, she only had small seconds to hold her sceptre over her head as he bludgeoned it with enough force that her heels began to sink into the earth.

Channeling more electricity, she bombarded Iruyana's face with the power and putting space between them once it was over. The male Dark Elf's face was now charred and disfigured as flesh hung with him immediately charging her again while she thrust her hand in his direction.

A spell seal then appeared on his chest with dark spirits amassing from it before grappling Iruyana and he fought against them while tearing away at his flesh with his eyes focusing. Aiming his weapon at Origa's sceptre, he launched it with such speed that she twirled it with her magic infused and managed to keep herself grounded as the bony weapon pierced her staff to begin drilling on impact.

Origa's sceptre then snapped apart with Iruyana taking hold of the his weapon again the second it broke and only observing her for a time before emitting some of his energy with the spirits dissipating. As he took off, she then noticed his face still wasn't completely healed with a tentative stare and followed him.

"Kochen, Wiege des Untergangs, Ertrinken, Sarg der Geburt. Schicksal! (Boil, cradle of demise, Drown, Casket of birth. Fate!)" Origa called out with Iruyana's head snapping a full 180 degrees to face her with a surprised stare before flying back her way and landed in front of her as his jaw began to stretch open until his wrists snapped apart alongside his tendons. The inside of his jaws began to flare with intense head as he dug his back-appendages into the earth and it was then a ring of his magic surrounded them.

Using her magic to lift the pieces of her sceptre, she launched them into his newly made wounds and used his appendages to snap either halves apart with Origa clasping her hands together. The Dark Elves again squared off with the lights on his crossbow vanishing as two beams struck the ground in front of her with a grainy cloud taking effect and she formed two spell seals in front of her hands as her ears listened closely for her now-obscure foe.

Two years I've been waiting to write this ending scene and now that it's here I don't know what to say. Ah well, see you next time!
