The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 51 - Clairvoyance

"Well.... Huh.... Huh.... I thought I would really die." Lucius said with a body lying on a lot of blood.

His room was currently, filled with his own blood. All of that was of course due to Carmilla's magic operation.

The white bandage that was slightly stained with blood was seen wrapped around Lucius' left eye to his back.

'Good job, Lucius. You managed to hold it in.' Carmilla said.

"Huh?! I really thought I was going to die! Can't it be in a softer way?" asked Lucius annoyed.

'That's why I waited for your body to be a little stronger for this operation. Unlike the installation of a magic ring, if your brain is injured due to this operation, I can't resurrect you anymore.' Carmilla's reply was also upset.

Instantly, Lucius' entire body was filled with cold sweat. Her hair stood up after hearing the statement.

"Huh? Just now.... What did you say?"

'Your death during the installation of the magic ring is not because you are really dead. But because your heart stopped beating. So I can force it back to beating with magic. While this?'

"You-you.... You almost killed me just now? No. gabe.... Almost got me dead?"

'It's over, the important thing is that you're still alive, right? Now quickly restore those eyes. I'm already tired. Ah, after that try to look in the mirror.'

After giving that reply, Carmilla kept silent without a word.

It seemed that Carmilla was completely exhausted after performing that magic operation. By ourselves.

Usually, these magic operations are performed by some trained magician. Also some healers to minimize injuries suffered.

"Well.... All right." Lucius replied as he sat leaning against his wall.

After that, Lucius immediately placed his right hand on his left eye. Continuously using healing magic, with the main target being his eyes.

Little by little....

Lucius' left eye began to recover. The blood stopped flowing.

And after exactly 10 minutes of healing, finally the pain was no longer felt by Lucius.

After cleaning up all the blood that was splattered, Lucius immediately put on his clothes.

As Carmilla had requested before, Lucius was seen standing in front of the mirror. Slowly, he opened the bandage in his left eye. Looking directly at the mirror in front of him.

"Eh?" lucius asked in confusion as well as surprise.

When draining Mana in his left eye, Clairvoyance Eye was active. He gave Lucius all the benefits he had. But what he saw in front of him....

Not himself.

But the figure of someone he had not seen for a long time. A figure so graceful and beautiful that he could not forget it, even if he only saw it for a moment.

Both of his eyes were opened to what was in front of him.

"What the fuck is this?! Why?!" lucius asked frantically with his left hand reflexively covering his face.

His left eye appears slightly glowing due to the active Clairvoyance effect. Lucius was still confused by what was in front of him....

'Hmm, that's beautiful. I really miss my body, ' Carmilla said. His voice sounded so happy after seeing what was reflected from the mirror.

It's not wrong anymore. What Lucius saw in the mirror was Carmilla's real body, which seemed to replace her.

The clothes he wore were exactly the same as what Lucius was wearing at the moment. Several times, Lucius tried to move his body and Carmilla's shadow followed him perfectly.

"This carmilla...."

'The true power of Clairvoyance. Hmph! An imitation of an ordinary human would not be able to get this detailed!' reply Carmilla with pride.

"Not that! But why can I see you?!"

'uh? Wh why? If that's of course. This magic eye of mine is so perfect that it can see the true soul of a human being, or any other being.'

The real soul.

Carmilla's statement was completely ambiguous to Lucius. But the biggest problem....

"Eeeh?! Wh-don't care? Mum-not that! I mean...."

'Lucius.'

Suddenly, Carmilla's voice sounded so heavy and solemn. It made Lucius lose all his nervousness instantly.

"A-what's up?" lucius asked briefly.

'With these eyes, I can see it. So this is an order from me. Rest up. Then reduce your training.'

"Eh? What the fuck? I still need to prepare to fight William and...."

'If you continue to practice by forcing yourself like that, you will self-destruct. Well, if you don't believe, act like you normally do tomorrow. You'll see it for yourself. As for William, are you seriously still worried about him?' ask Carmilla.

Lucius began walking away from the mirror and sat on his bed before replying.

"of course. He is a fifth year student and has a B level. Of the extended family of course he...."

'You are now on par with the S level, Lucius.' Carmilla replied cutting out Lucius' words.

"Eh?"

'You might not realize it but that Guild Master named Selena was the closest to an S-level figure in this city. And your body has surpassed Selena's ability in that fight against the devil.'

Lucius who was too fixated to continuously become stronger, had now just awakened. How strong he is now.

Coupled with these magic eyes, Lucius' power had risen to an even higher level. Even so....

'With these eyes, right now I can see your body is in a very bad state. If you continue this crazy training, you will fall before the real fight.'

Despite hearing such a logical explanation....

Lucius still....

"Then I'll see tomorrow. Just like a warning from you. If I get sick tomorrow, I'll start lowering my training portion. If not, I will continue.

However, there are still many powerful enemies out there. I can't relax." Lucius replied. He seemed to clench both of his hands in annoyance.

In his heart, Lucius thought. His completely untalented body could only rival those who were gifted with hard work.

What would happen if Lucius stopped working hard?

What if that Hobgoblin-level demon appeared once again? Or even stronger? Would he be able to fight it if he stopped working hard?

As he continued to think about it, Lucius began to lie down on his bed. And without being conscious.... He has fallen asleep. Eliminate all the fatigue that had been in his body all this time.

...........

Meanwhile at Brown Smithworks....

"Young Master! Is this really being melted down by just one person?" ask a man with a strong body.

He appeared to be wearing only a brownish t-shirt and a tied cloth covering his head.

In his right hand, there was a sword with a blade that had melted until it was no longer in shape.

"Yes. That's what my friend said." Alex replied with a very serious face.

"You know, right? It takes dozens of witches to heat this metal? How could a student be...."

"I understand. No doubt, Lucius Nightshade could be a very important asset to the Brown family. Therefore, please make a weapon that even he cannot melt." Alex replied before turning his body and preparing to leave this extremely hot forging room.

"But Sir! Things like that.... Nothing in this world! Mithril...."

Alex was seen glancing towards the blacksmith for a moment before replying.

"I don't care how much it costs. Research, mining, rune writing, whatever it is I'll give it up. As long as it can make that person side with us...."

Alex looked out of the room. There is a large map on the wall. A map showing the entire territory of this human kingdom.

Or rather....

Map showing the power of trading companies in each of these human territories.
