MONOCHROME: Choice Of Destiny
Chapter 6 determination

after lucy raised me to be her knight we sat down and drank tea and of course I played the servant who served her.

"bitter, messy, even commoners are better than this"

I could feel three spears piercing my chest.

"please forgive me for not being able to satisfy you young lady"

I bowed 90° while apologizing to the butler.

"snake!"

I felt all the air inside my body forcefully come out from hitting the walls of the house at high speed.

"uhuk! tcuih" there's even blood when I spit

"want me to hit?"

you've hit me fucking!

"you treated me like a servant but when I acted you hit me straight away, though you looked like a perfect heroine before, but now I realize that you're not Lucifer's family for no reason"

"fufu~ don't be like that, now we'll always be together so I don't want to hide anything from my knights"

"can you heal me first? it's very painful to take your punches without using defense magic"

"alright well, you better learn to use healing magic because from now on you will often experience things like this"

after a brief quarrel we proceeded to have tea while discussing the plan.

"can you tell me what a knight should do? I honestly don't have this kind of experience"

"hm? aren't you getting more disrespectful today? yesterday you called me "you" or "lucy" now using "you""

"it's just your feelings, miss, I can't possibly be disrespectful to the daughter of the Lucifer family"

"BOOM!!" the walls of the house were shattered and a white-haired man was lying on the ground

"couple!" blood soaked the ground

I intended to provoke him with the intention of mocking him after I managed to resist his attack but what the hell was that? my defense was instantly destroyed once a hit!?

I intend to stand up to go back inside the house but I can't even move, damn how much power did he put in his punch to make me like this?

everyone starts to gather to see what is going on and lucy comes out to calm her down.

"haha sorry all my friends accidentally slipped and smashed the wall"

lucy smiled at them and continued her activities as if she had not seen anything.

you guys believe that!?

lucy dragged me back into the house and helped me get on the bed.

"before we continue the discussion I'll tell you a little bit about the power of the Lucifer family."

"we always look upon others as inferior to ourselves and our power with regard to that means all those inferior to us will impose "absolute" power" I just hit you with all my might and you used a simple defense which means that my punch is still stronger than your defense so the law makes my punch ignore your cheap defense."

"as a suggestion you should use S-level defense magic like Sanctuary or SS like absolute defense before receiving my attack"

this world is filled with monsters, if his daughter is this strong then what about the demon king Lucifer himself?

"haha it seems like before revenge I should be able to land a single blow on your face"

"fufu~ I was looking forward to, where was it?"

"hmmm about what is the duty of a knight"

"normally a knight is in charge of protecting his master directly, but since you are my only knight and I have no servants so you will play all those roles"

"like what?"

"for example, like you always have to be around me, make me tea, wash my clothes, rub my back while taking a bath, dress me up and so on"

after digesting all that information my face slowly paled.

"the point is you're telling me to be a dog?"

"fufu~ you interpreted it very precisely, but take it easy I won't treat you badly instead I will help you practice, give you a home to go home to, and I'll give you a chance for revenge"

"it doesn't seem bad, it's better to be a noble dog than to be a vagrant, but can you cure me now? my internal organs are a mess and some of my ribs are broken"

"alright fine just for today, because tomorrow we're leaving for the capital"

elsewhere there are 9 people living each other's lives but they all have the same determination to take revenge on Rebecca's church.

.

.

.

tomorrow we leave for the capital, because lucy never brings a waiter when traveling as an adventurer so I play the role of a coachman and lucy who sits in a train.

the journey from hell berg city to the capital took about 1 week so I had to play this role for about 1 full week.

and it was only on the first day that we were stopped by bandits,

"huhh just working as a coachman has made me tired and now I have to work as a bodyguard."

I got off the train and headed for the bandits who were gathering on the street like cow dung.

"missy! here it's dangerous you should get in the car, these dungs let me as your servant who takes care of it"

lucy told me to act according to the profession I was running, so now I'm going to act like a chariot coachman and bodyguard.

lucy approached me.

"are you willing to do it?"

I know what he meant because all this time I've never killed a human or a demon, I only kill monsters but if I doubt now it means I don't deserve revenge, and I've decided to become a demon lord so I have to get used to this.

"i'm not sure but I'll try"

"good"

I went back to the bandits who were busy discussing things amongst themselves

"hey shit! if you give up all your property and leave the train, we'll spare your life"

"it's very sorry, but now I'm playing a knight so I won't hesitate"

"ah!! you lowly coachman bacot a lot, kill him"

before leaving

"this is for you"

lucy gave me a sword made of Mithril but inside it was not embedded with any magic or affinity.

"that's badian for you, I feel you are suitable to use the sword because in your body there are several opposite affinities but not mutually eliminate but mutually harmoniously side by side."

"if you use a sword with a certain affinity it will strengthen one affinity but it will weaken the other, whereas this sword does not have any affinity"

"so you can replace these sword attributes at will and maybe even be able to combine the two, either, ahh and for the armor I did not buy it because on the road you will act as a coachman and it will be strange if the coachman uses armor."

now

this might be a good time to test it

I stroked my sword while imagining the light and instantly my sword let out a bright light and its affinity turned to light.

I charged straight towards the bandits while they were still confused because of the light just now, I swung my sword with all my might which made one bandit head soar in the air followed by a splash of blood which spread everywhere it hit my face and clothes.

my hands trembled but there was no time to hesitate, the rest of the other bandits advanced simultaneously.

I took a step back and touched my sword while imagining the darkness that engulfed everything, my sword slowly turned jet-black and gave off an extremely terrifying demonic aura.

lucy pov

when Ryu used the light sword he looked like a hero in general but....

whatisit? I had indeed expected him to have a demonic aura but how could he possess this power?

I even forgot to blink when I saw Ryu walking haughtily towards bandits like him being someone else.

a bandit advanced and attacked ryu with a vertical attack from the front while ryu tried to fend off the sword by swinging his sword up and then the bandit sword was thrown.

no, the hilt of the sword was still in the hands of the bandits just that the sword was broken with a smooth wedge and what followed was a massacre, in the blink of an eye all the heads of the bandits were detached from its body.

ryu turned towards me.

pure white hair, red eyes that seemed to see everything, and fangs that were ready to bite anyone.

just looking at it made my instincts scream to escape.

"thud!!" he's down

"uhh?"

.

.

.

uhhh!! my head hurts

"basic knights are useless, can you let your lady be a coachman while you sleep soundly on my shoulder?"

I slowly sat down while holding my head which had been very sore since.

"pardon me, I can't overreact because of this pain"

"in a moment we will arrive in a village, let me be the coachman for today you rest for now"

"let me then"

then I put my head on Lucy's thigh and fell asleep.

.

.

.

"fufu~ looks like mom's son is an adult"

I woke up but not on Lucy's thigh but on mom's thigh.
