The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 100 - Mysterious Organization

In the northern Barbarian region....

"I'm sorry, it seems we failed" Eldrath said briefly. His tail seemed to move here and there when he said that.

While Rynar who was standing next to him could only shake his head. "I didn't think anyone else could use space magic, so I wasn't fast enough to prevent them from escaping" he said.

"Other people?" ask Aurellia briefly. "Is it a black-haired man?" continued.

"Miss Aurellia is right! That guy at first I thought was weak and useless because he kept hiding in the back line. But it turns out he's in charge of keeping the escape route!" rynar said enthusiastically.

Aurellia who heard the information looked furious. With all his might, he threw the glass glass filled with reddish liquid to the side until it broke.

'Yaharrrr!!!'

"I can't forgive!" shout Aurellia. "Truly inexcusable!"

"No-Nona Aurellia?" asked Rynar curiously.

"Human territory, Southern part, Damacia Academy." replied Aurellia briefly. Makes both Rynar and Eldrath confused.

"What's there, Miss Aurellia?" ask Eldrath curiously. His tail had started to fall silent since he had seen Aurellia's anger. Although thin, but visible on his face a faint smile.

"That fucking guy.... The man who killed my teacher.... Can I have you kill him?" aurellia asked with anger and hatred that could be clearly seen on her face.

Where hers so large seemed to be scattered filled this room. Making some of the Barbarian warriors guarding the surroundings fall unconscious from being unable to withstand this high Mana concentration in the air.

"Surely sa...."

"With all due respect, Miss Aurellia" said Eldrath cutting off Rynar's words. He pointed his left arm in front of Rynar, asking him to shut up.

"But attacking the Damacia Academy that is far south is too much for us right now. Even if we infiltrate using Miss Aurellia's space magic, but still. In the Academy there are many terrible monsters." Eldrath explained in detail.

"Monster, you said?! You don't think I can...."

"I know your feelings. But please understand, that the witch hero is most likely currently there. If we force our way in, our great chance will be to fall into their trap and be defeated easily." replies Eldrath cutting Aurellia's words.

In his heart, Eldrath thought. "So Aurellia has a grudge against the boy? Hmm, I get it. Then, I should take advantage of the moment when the two met, right? Not in the human territory. I have to do everything to keep him from going there."

"Why are you getting in my way, Eldrath?!" aurellia asked in anger.

"Distrain? It's not like that at all. As you know, the preparation to become a complete demon is almost done, right? Wouldn't it be wise to fight it when you've evolved into a demon with that heart?" eldrath looked at the golden box near the throne of Aurellia.

The golden box was sealed with high-level runes, also with various Barrier-type magic and also trap magic. Make only Aurellia can open it.

Even so, all of his subordinates had known what was inside. That is the original demon heart sealed in eternal ice, which is said to have gone extinct thousands of years ago.

"I understand. Thank you for thinking rationally to me, Eldrath." Aurellia replied after realizing her mistake.

"Well, thank you for the compliment, Miss Aurellia . Although.... Isn't that a function of my existence in your opinion?"

Aurellia met Eldrath a few months ago. About two weeks after he went berserk in this Barbarian region.

Or rather.... Eldrath discovered Aurellia. At the meeting, Aurellia was surprised after realizing that Eldrath had the rarest characteristics in this magic-filled world.

It was a fact that Eldrath did not have the slightest amount of Mana in his body.

When Aurellia offered the Dragonnewt figure to work under him, Eldrath gladly accepted it. Offering the intelligence and wisdom that He has accumulated over the last hundred years.

One of them, is to put the brakes on Aurellia's actions if it is too dangerous.

"Once again, thank you." said Aurellia.

...............

In the Holy Catredal, Titania.

"Well.... Seriously. You're pulling me into this very dangerous situation? Besides, where's the sword hero? Why isn't he helping?" lucius complained while sitting in one of the long chairs for the Katredal visitor.

Hearing Lucius' question, Alora immediately intends to clarify her.

"Eh, can I see him?" reply Lucius.

Alora nodded slowly, before opening a portal in the distance. "The mortal will lead you to meet the sword hero. But sorry, I'm not coming. You can go back alone, right?" ask Alora.

"Yes, I can go back alone." Lucius replied. He immediately stepped his foot into the portal that was either going to take him where it was.

Slowly, his body began to pass through the portal and was carried away to another place. A small house with simple wooden walls, also with a warm fireplace.

Just one step into the house, Lucius immediately heard a welcome from someone.

"Ooh.... Visitors huh? Since when did this old man get visitors?" said an old man with that stooped posture. He is seen walking by using a sword sheathed as his pedestal stands.

His full skin would wrinkle, as well as his legs that were constantly trembling at every step. Makes Lucius understand Alora's attitude towards the sword hero. An attitude that always yelled at him as a useless old man.

Even with his appearance and extremely weak body, he was still a hero.

"Sorry to interrupt your time. Miss Alora sent me here to see your condition." Lucius said, bowing his body in salute.

"Alora.... Alora.... Who?" ask the old man.

"Ugh, it seems to be really senile as Alora said." Lucius thought in his heart.

"By the way, my name is Lucius. A student at the magic academy." said Lucius as he reached out his right hand to get acquainted.

"Lucius yes. It's so young.... My name's.... My name's.... Who yeah?" reply the sword hero.

With each of his words, Lucius became increasingly aware that a sword hero could not possibly be expected for a fight against the mysterious organization.

What could this old man, who could not even remember his name, do? But as the old man looked at the sword in Lucius' left belt, his previously lifeless eyes began to reveal light.

"Oooh, can you use a sword too, son? Eeh, what was your name? Potassium? Malius?" said the old man.

"Lucius! Well, just a little."

"Lend me that sword."

Lucius immediately pulled out his Mithril sword blade. With a hard struggle, the old man attempted to raise Lucius' sword.

"Uughh! So heavy! Basic, young people today are not using metal but using stone to make swords?" he was trying to lift Lucius' sword.

Mithril itself is one of the strongest metals, but also the lightest. Even so, the energy and mind of the sword hero that had been consumed by time was no longer able to lift or realize it.

"Well! So heavy! Eeh, what did I want?"

Lucius could only be speechless looking at the figure of the old man. In his heart, he felt respect for her after noticing how many scars there were on his body.

Meanwhile, Lucius also felt pity. Seeing the final days of the sword hero before him should be this kind of figure. Living in a small wooden house in the middle of the forest alone.

"I'm sorry but I'm curious. Can I see your sword technique?" ask Lucius.

"Hohoho, of course." she replied briefly while throwing Lucius' sword on the floor.

But nevertheless.... All the pity in Lucius' heart disappeared after the old man took a small twig on his desk.

He walked out of the house and swung the little twig vertically.

Just then, Lucius saw an unusually strong Mana flow flowing from the old man's heart towards his right hand. Before finally enveloping the twig and crashing along with the swing.

'Blaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrr!!!'

A powerful shockwave emerged from the direction of the slash of the wooden branch. Dropping some trees in the distance, it also split the ground up to several meters deep.

"W-what is it?!" lucius cried out in surprise after realizing all that had only come from the small twig swing with the old man's fragile body.

'Braak!'

"Admudu!! My back! My arm hurts too! Marius! Help me!" he shouted for a moment after swinging the wooden branch.
