The Demon Dragon Knight Becomes a Servant
Chapter 24: The Change of the Weak Devil

There is no hope if you see the situation. Haru who has been seriously injured and in a strong bridle to be unable to move. Only being able to see Touya being pierced by a spear and getting injured was getting worse with blood flowing incessantly.

“Sister Touya!”

“Ugh!”

Whatever Haru did, there was no impact that could make him immediately escape from the restraint. In fact, Felicia who used her magic to restrain him no longer cared. It was as if he was very confident that Haru could not escape.

Therefore, his attention was currently being replaced towards Touya who was being cornered. His body that was held back by the spear even made him unable to move. Touya made every effort by pushing out the spear from his shoulder.

“(Sial. I can't die here! Not when I made a promise to miss.. if I would stay by her side!)”

While she was looking for a way, Felicia stopped walking closer to her. His one hand was opened and formed another spear in his grasp.

“Now I just remembered. You. You are the one called by Yuria. Son of a revolutionary demon, Elric Touya”

Touya's identity, which Felicia already knew, made her even more panicked. Because of course, a child of a revolutionary demon is considered the greatest obstacle to the rebellious demons.

“(Dia... know!)”

“Luck is indeed on my side huh. You came in front of me on your own and tried to disrupt our plans. But, I have to thank you”

“With your head that I hand over to the highest demons, I will definitely be promised the throne and also great power!”

Felicia pulled back her spear as if preparing to give Touya a final strike.

And in that moment it was in contemplation with a feeling of fear that flowed into his body. Upset and afraid, mixed in his bowl of feelings simultaneously. His doubts about himself returned.

Not having any power. Just the big crap he had to stay by Reina's side. In fact, Touya did not have this ability in order to be on Reina's side.

He also became reminded of the words of Helios at the time of the feast of the castle of hell.

“Low-devil doesn't know himself. You don't have the ability to be inside the castle and on the side of Reina”

His doubts continued to haunt Touya in his final moments.

His life position that should have ended when stabbed by Yuri also made him more daunted. Deceived easily and also can not fight back. All this time, Touya had only been hiding in Reina's shadow assuming that he was strong and suitable to be next to her.

But, the truth is not like that. She's weak. It's not even useful to be on Reina's side. If perhaps Reina thought of it as just ‘toy’, then it was not wrong. After all, what is useful about Touya? Just being there is a burden.

Not only for Reina, even for Haru as well. More and more doubtful of her when Touya remembers that she didn't help Haru at all.

Whahuh?

Striking Felicia with a giant church statue? Is it effective and makes him die? No. gabe.

It was precisely now that Felicia rose up with even more formidable strength and mounting anger. All of those things made an easy conclusion for Touya himself.

His body and resigned determination had been shown from him who stopped to fight to release the spear that held his body. His hands fell on the ground and his body was squeezing like a person giving up.

Haru who saw Touya no longer move shouted loudly at him.

“Sister Touya! Wake up, move!”

Whatever Haru did was unable to make Touya flinch. His ears no longer cared to hear anything. Not even his own heartbeat could be heard by Touya. He really doesn't care about his own life anymore.

“(I... useless....)”.

His eyes closed slowly as if waiting for his life to be ended by Felicia's impending attack.  And when Touya wanted to establish himself, he suddenly saw the faces of his parents.

It was not Theodore, but his father and mother who raised Touya in the human world. Over the years, Touya was raised like their own child. Full of love, jokes and laughter. Beautiful hope is always given to Touya for the sake of having a comfortable life.

What would happen if Touya betrayed the feelings of his father and mother? What would happen if he chose to die and leave the two of them just like that?

There was no way he would just leave his parents behind. He will not allow the struggles of those who have raised him, sacrificing so many things including time and matter.

“(Dad. I'm sorry for doubting myself. But, I won't lose!)”

Highlight his eyes as it returned full of life spirit. His hand was raised and again tried to pull out the spear from his shoulder.

Zrr…!!

“I... won't... die here!” shouts Touya

On the other hand, Felicia who drained all her magic in the form of a purple flame aura coated her spear.

Wush…!!

“Give me your head, me. Elric Touya!” yell Felicia

“Huoo!!” shouts Touya

The spear was thrown with a purple flame that surrounded it.

Touya who tried his hardest, managed to pull out the spear that pierced his shoulder.

Zraatt…!!

The scream and also his body that had been freed released an explosion of energy that was so fierce.

Duara….!!

Even the spear thrown by Felicia became thrown and her body was pushed back.

“Ughh!! A-what-!”

Such a powerful explosion even made a gust of wind and a fierce shock. Felicia herself could not hold her body and hit the wall. His clothes were destroyed by the powerful impact that occurred and left his body naked.

Touya's left arm, which pulled out the spear earlier, changed as if it was coated by another object. A hard and strong black scale. Shaped like a gauntlet that coats his arm from the elbow to the palm of the hand.

The aura and power it exuded was terrifying. The intense pressure that was even able to make not only Felicia, but Haru was stunned silent.

On the other hand, Touya himself was also confused towards the black scales gauntlet that appeared by his side.

“A-what is this?!” touya muttered

“Ga-gauntlet it-! Not likely. Why can you have it?!” yell Felicia

“Kak... Touya...” murmured Haru.

Touya was stunned in astonishment when he saw Felicia who was so afraid to see him. Because no one spoke, Touya himself did not know the purpose of the gauntlet's appearance in his hand. But one thing he can be sure of. A stream of energy that was so swift within his body was extremely powerful.

“(E-energies is.. It's so big! Is this all coming from my new weapon?!)”

When Touya was confused, Felicia took the opportunity to turn around and escape.

Wush…!!

With that flap of his wings, he flew high as fast as he could from the church.

“(I have to escape! It was unexpected that I would meet a Lethal Archaic user here. Better to back off and report in advance!)”
