The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 16 - Reality

Forcibly, Carmilla took control of Lucius' body. Forcing Lucius to be a spectator from within his own body.

With Carmilla as her body controller, nothing has changed at all. Lucius' body did not become strong, nor did it have more Mana.

There's absolutely no difference.

Only, the look in his eyes slightly changed where there was a reddish tinge in his pupils.

"Watch carefully. When facing a stronger opponent." said Carmilla while tightly grasping the one-handed sword that Lucius had brought before.

'Zraaasshhh!!!'

Carmilla quickly slashed her sword vertically down. Together with that, he activated water magic on the sword slash just now.

'Swuooooshh!'

Water quickly split the flame. It gave Carmilla a little room to breathe. Although, he did not need it at all.

Because his left hand had already successfully activated another magic.

'Wuluuusshh....'

An extremely cold gust of air suddenly emerged from the tip of the magic circle in Carmilla's left hand. It frozen the slash of water just now quickly, and created a long ice pillar that was enough to shelter from Damon's burst of flames.

Leisurely, Carmilla turned her body and leaned against the ice pillar created just now. Looking at the fingers on his left hand, he said.

"To learn too much theory will make you stupid, Lucius. The words of the old man in the class just now were indeed true. That elemental magic would be stronger in its surroundings.

But what if now? Still going to resist water magic because a lot of fire evaporates it? Stupid, there you'll be toasted to death."

No one could see his behavior behind that huge burst of fire. So Carmilla can relax a little.

After finishing giving the short class, Carmilla immediately got up from her backrest. After all, the ice pillar had started to slowly melt.

"Even if it drains your Mana, use elements stronger than enemy elements. Water weakens the fire, and ice stops it. But what if the enemy fire is this big? It's easy." Carmilla continued.

From his left hand, he made a fairly large water ball.

Carmilla quickly shot him into the air. Where the water ball was spinning rapidly, spitting out thousands of water droplets that spread out in all directions every second.

'Cts!'

Flicking a finger on his left hand, a new light blue magic circle was created just below the position of the water ball. Making all the grains of water that passed through it turn into a sharp little ice spear.

'Jleeeb! Jleeb!!'

Dozens of ice spears began to stick on Damon's body. He gave her small wounds all over her body.

"Kuughh! Goddamnit! So this is the origin of your confidence?!" yelled Damon who immediately stopped his fire magic to start taking cover.

Damon raised his greatsword, using it like a shield. But not everything can be handled well. Some of them managed to get past Damon's greatsword and hit his body.

Even if each small ice spear was not so deadly, but the puncture of dozens of small ice spears that hit it over time will give severe injuries.

'Swuooosshh!'

Feeling that the situation was bad enough, Damon immediately used fire magic that formed like a curved wall. Slightly melted the small ice spear that shot towards him.

At that moment, Damon began to realize how bad the injuries were.

Blood flowed slowly from all over his body. The dozens of holes from the ice spear that was only the size of a quarter of a little finger made him have to take this wound seriously.

In fact, his steel sword began to crack on several sides after restraining the entire hail of ice spears.

'Damn it! Just a little ice magic! Whyyy?! Why is it like this?' damon thought in his heart while continuing to use healing magic to recover the wounds on his body.

Meanwhile Carmilla....

He walked leisurely towards the wall of Damon's fire. With just simple water magic, Carmilla was able to fend off all the hail of ice spears that led her.

"Then notice what kind of magic leads to you. For example, this ice spear, does not need thick steel to shelter. Enough with the water and wind magic is already able to stop it." Carmilla explained long enough.

What he meant, was a magic that was currently at the end of his left hand. Where a shield from the whirlpool so quickly deflected the entire ice spear heading towards him.

No need to stop it, Carmilla simply changed the direction of the ice spear's trajectory. Where everything stuck in the sand around where he walked.

"And when the opponent starts off off guard, end it with simple but sure magic" Carmilla said briefly pointing towards where Damon was hiding using her right hand.

A light blue magic circle that was the size of a palm appeared on the tip of the index finger of Lucius' right hand. Creating an ice spear that was as big as half his own arm.

Coupled with a light green circle that breathed out a strong wind, making the ice spear glide very quickly. Penetrating right on Damon's right shoulder.

...'ZRAAAAASSSHHHH!!!'...

"Kuuuuaaaaghhhh!!!" damon shouted in pain as the huge ice spear smashed through Damon's iron sword before piercing right at his right shoulder. Even the fire magic that Damon had sharpened all this time, seemed to be useless at all.

Because of the injuries he suffered, Damon was lying on the ground. Helpless.

Several medical teams quickly ran around to treat Damon's injuries.

This match itself....

"Lucius Nightshade, won this duel. With this, Damon Emberheart is forbidden to approach or disturb Sophia Fairlock" Luna said firmly.

..."WUOOOOOOOOOHHH!"...

..."AWESOME, LUCIUS!!!"...

The cries and cheers of the spectators could be heard by Lucius clearly from within his own body.

Because right now, Carmilla was still controlling him forcibly.

Without giving a reply in the form of a wave or anything, Carmilla immediately left this arena.

Carrying victory as Lucius wished.

...........

"So?" carmilla asked briefly facing a mirror in one of the toilets.

'Sorry....'

Only that one word could come out of Lucius' mind. Anything else? After thinking that he was stronger than others and then challenging him without thinking long?

"Next time, don't be so heroic. I'll forgive you this time. Understood?" asked Carmilla once again who was still controlling Lucius' body.

'I understand....'

"good. Even with the Stellastra, your untrained body since childhood is still far less than the nobles in this academy. You should be aware of that, and use that as a reminder to keep practicing.

Now, I want to rest. Please enjoy this pseudo-victory to your fullest." replied Carmilla who immediately returned this body to Lucius.

Leave him in silence in this toilet alone. Looking at the shadow of himself so pitiful.

'BRAAAA!!!'

"Damn it! Goddamnit!! What is calm?! L'm.... I even.." cried Lucius annoyed after hitting the wall in this toilet until it cracked.

He stayed there alone for a while, before heading out to meet his friends from class F.

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

Meanwhile....

In a room that was quite large and luxurious, Luna was sitting casually at the end of the table while enjoying warm tea in her white cup.

'Sluuurr....'

"Well.... So what do you think, Ethan?" ask Luna curiously.

Ethan who was still standing next to the room looked out the window on the 5th floor of this building, looking at the figure of Lucius who was walking along with his friends in the academy courtyard which was illuminated by many magic lights.

"Obviously. There's nothing special." Ethan replied briefly.

"You're right. From your eyes, it must be normal, right?"

"Chairman, what do you mean by that?"

Luna placed her cup slowly on the table before standing up and walking towards Ethan.

"For a glance, I saw him almost using ancient magic. I don't even know what magic is in his right hand. But for some reason, he suddenly turned it into fire magic." explained Luna while looking at Lucius in the distance.

Ethan was surprised to hear that.

"Huh? Ancient magic that even the chief doesn't know about? That's impossible, right?!" ethan's panicking.

"I don't know what magic it is. But any ancient magic should be powerful enough to beat C-level students down easily. Didn't we? Surprisingly, why didn't he use it?" asked Luna with an ice-cold look.

Ethan is seen sighing while shaking his head several times.

"It seems you're right, Chief. The figure that rises from the dead, it is proper to be noticed."

"Observe the movement. If there is anything suspicious, report it to me immediately." replied Luna who immediately walked away from this room.

Without Lucius realizing it, he had been observed even since he started re-entering this academy. And his supervision during the duel just now, proved the suspicion of the Student Council in this Damacia Academy.

I don't know what will wait for Lucius in the future, but Lucius has realized one very important thing.

Whatever it is, it needs even more power. Anyhow.
