So, I'm a witch, so what?

The meeting with the royalty was a set-up, a trap to get me far away from my kingdom. Damn, these guys are deceptive. Whoever is responsible for the attack on my people is an evil genius. Someone smart enough to wait until I'm far away from my throne, where it will take me a while to return.

Yet even when I canceled the meeting to head back home, there was another plan to have me killed. My shadows tried to betray me, but I already dealt with them. My obstacles are now a tiny battalion of kids with cheating artifacts. They are the only thing keeping me between my people and me, so I naturally went all out from the start.

"Triple Maximize MAGIC! Angelic Queen form! Ultimate Valkyrie!" The Earth shook with the command of my voice as my crown grew larger, reacting to my ultimate form. Even if I wasn't as strong as the elder Queen, I was still A QUEEN! I'm not weak by any measure, and these kids are good enough to warm up.

My final form made me look majestic with a pair of long white wings and a set of adamantine armor covered in gold strips all throughout the set. Everything upgraded to a larger, more godly form in this state. Even my body reshaped and became younger with the transformation, reducing my old looks drastically.

My hair went from black to brown, to golden to end in a silver color representing divinity, as Andromeda would be with me in this form for so long as I could keep the bridge up. I began to feel bad for the kiddos who began to pee their pants when they saw my final form.

"They said she wouldn't be a problem, but her magical level is too high! We can't take her down!" "Activate your anti-magic fields anyway!" "All we have to do is distract her long enough for the army to kill everyone!"

It was their words that alarmed me, so their plan was to kill everyone under my rule? Well, I better get to my people before they all surrender! I cannot waste more time on these insignificant!

"I'm the source of all power! Bend the laws of nature and lend me the ability to fly through anything! Queen's FLY!"

I no longer waited on the rookies as I headed directly to my kingdom as fast as I could fly. The rookies tried their best to keep up with me, but I left them behind in no time as I reached peak speeds for my form, quickly getting within teleport distance, but something was off.

[Teleport point blocked] [High-level teleport block active around your set point]

Damn it! My people were dying! Increase the speed as high as I can! Immediately, my speed doubled for the price of a little HP drop, but that would be fine so long as I had my crown. I could recover that HP in an instant. Minutes later, I crashed against an invisible anti-magic barrier as thousands of soldiers threw themselves at me from every angle.

"AHHHHHH!!" "FOR THE POPE!" "DEMONS MUST DIE!" "DIE YOU WITCH!" "DIE!" "AHHHHH!!!" Thousands of voices all repeated the same loud screams as I quickly made work of them, but they were accomplishing their goal even if I killed them quickly.

Since I'm one of the top ten fighters in the world, it is fair to say I can make someone die in less than a millisecond, meaning I got rid of over ten thousand soldiers in less than a minute. Who had the resources to spare? Ten thousand soldiers is more than the entire witch population left. How come someone had so many troops to spare just for me?!

More importantly, they had access to the Anti-Magic barriers, which weren't a big deal for someone like me, but for witches who depend on magic for everything, it means chaos! My people can't fight without magic! That's our whole strategy: our strength is magic!

I saw the city under attack, covered in the barrier keeping me away from them, so I placed my hand against the barrier and began to work against it. Not long after, the barrier changed color as I overwrote it with my power, reversing the effects and making the humans far weaker than my people inside the barrier.

Naturally, I flashed my return with a dramatic entrance, dropping from the skies covered in bright light as if descending from the heavens covered in my majestic form, giving the witches a confidence boost with my mere presence.

"The Queen's here!" "The Queen returned!" "We are saved!" "We can win!" The Earth shook violently with my arrival as I announced my return louder than ever by letting my aura simmer out just enough to alert whoever led the army.

The soldiers within my barrier soon grew desperate as they became slower and weaker, thanks to my counter aura. All the energy from their dead bodies is drained and absorbed by the barrier and then distributed throughout the city, healing all the witches on the brink of death.

I began to kill soldiers within my city, getting rid of the pests who attacked my people. Yet the question remained, who had resources at this scale?! An invasion of this magnitude required at least half a million soldiers, but who had numbers like those?! I could only think of one guy.
