The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 53 - Bandits

'Zraaaatt! Sraaash! Swuuooo!!'

'Blaaarrr! Albaarrr!!'

From behind one of the rooms in this cave, can be heard quite diverse sounds.

Occasionally, the screams of adult men could be heard. After which, the sound of crushed stones could also be heard.

Unlimited there, the sound of the flames seemed to have become a common sound in this cave.

"Bo-Boss! Wh-what should we do?!"

"Boss! it's bad! Dozens of our members have been killed!"

'Braa!!!'

Suddenly, someone was seen opening the door in this room.

"Boss! A.please...."

'Jleebb! Braaakk!'

From behind the bandit, the figure of a boy in neat clothes under his black robe seemed to be standing quietly.

His left hand was seen carrying a knife covered in blood.

"Well.... Knives are really troublesome. The range is short, its light weight also makes it unable to provide internal injuries, moreover it is very fragile.

How many knives have been broken in my hand in half an hour?" lucius asked while giving a sharp look at a man at the end of this room.

The man was seen wearing leather armour covered in wolf fur which was quite thick. His body looked so well trained, it also had a considerable amount of Mana.

"Bo-Boss! Help us!" shouted the other bandits while pleading with the man on the skin pilgrimage.

"Hoo, I didn't think a boy like you could be that strong. Let me guess, you're a noble?" asked the bandit boss while sitting on top of the treasure chest.

Around him, there were quite a number of gold coins and booty scattered everywhere. Starting from jewelry, swords, shields, food to clothing.

Everything is stored in this room.

If summed up in its entirety, all the treasures in this room were worth over 10 thousand gold coins.

"So you're the boss?" lucius asked after killing the few remaining bandits in this room quickly.

"Interesting.... Nobles are really interesting. But don't you know who you're dealing with? Irving the vile. Killing your opponent is...."

Suddenly, the bandit boss' mouth stopped moving. Sure oes. Because right now, the knife in Lucius' left hand had been right in front of his face.

Even so, Lucius' hand also paused for a moment before thrusting it. That was because in front of his chest was a curved sword ready to slash at him.

"intriguing. Really interesting." said Irving with a big smile.

Lucius on the other hand who had been quite used to fighting against many monsters was still shocked. Against the terrifying reflexes of the bandit boss named Irving.

'If I don't stop, I'll be hurt pretty badly by that sword. This fellow.... Unlike the other bandits, Lucius thought in his heart.

'Swuushh! Braaakk!!'

Quickly, the bandit used the sword in his right hand as a decoy. Make Lucius focus his defenses there.

But in reality, the actual attack came from a twisting kick of his left leg. Threw Lucius' body a few meters to the side.

"Your response is good. Your physique is also strong. But unfortunately, your technique is really weak. Looking at your response just now, I'm guessing you've only started fighting for real less than a year" Irving said, squeezing his own fingers. Ring some bones.

'Strongest.... This guy is strong. Then....'

Quickly, Lucius got up and raised his left hand. Prepare to fight with that knife.

'Swuusshh! Ohhhh!! Ohhhhai!!!'

The fight between the two looks so fast and fierce.

On one hand, Lucius managed to surpass pure Irving with his physical strength as well as his speed that had been enhanced with Overflow.

But on the other hand, Irving with his experience and refined techniques was able to withstand Lucius' entire attack with ease.

"What's this about? You panicked and tried to defeat me with just physical strength? Realize that it's impossible!" shouted Irving while swinging his sword forcefully.

'Zraaat!'

His slash seemed to split the air itself. And from the path of his slash, there was a strong air pressure to split the wall in the distance.

"Well.... You're really strong. I almost split up just now." said Lucius who now started making horses to survive.

"Hoo, did you realize that? Just now was my flagship wind slash. It had been dozens of royal knights who had fallen victim to the attack just now." Irving replied still with his arrogant face.

He saw Lucius as a strong opponent. But victory was clear in Irving's eyes.

That's why he can be relaxed.

"Then, accompany me a little longer." replied Lucius who immediately ran forward. Prepare to once again attack Irving.

'Klaaangg! The swuussh! Sraaash! Ohhhhai!!'

The swift and continuous attacks from Lucius were like a slow attack in Irving's eyes.

No matter how high Lucius' physical strength was, Irving was able to compensate for even surpassing him with his techniques.

On the other hand, Lucius himself was depressed by Irving's wind slash which was always used in unexpected moments.

Just like this time.

The moment Lucius thought Irving would only give away an ordinary sword slash that could be fended off by his knife....

But in reality, Irving used that wind slash.

'Zraaaaassshh! Kreta!!'kk!!!'

The surprised Lucius almost failed to avoid it. But he managed to jump to the side quickly and survived death.

"Haha! The boy! You are really strong! So strong that I want to make you my subordinate!" shouted Irving while laughing satisfied.

"Never dream." replied Lucius who now began to keep his distance.

The battle between the two had lasted for almost 20 minutes. The exchange of punches, kicks and slashes had now eased slightly for the two of them to catch their breath.

"Is that so? Too bad. Then I'll kill you." Irving replied, now with a very serious look.

"Huh? Whatchu mean?"

"You know? From then on, I wasn't serious at all."

Lucius was shocked to hear Irving's words. And it's true. Now Lucius could see the Mana movements scattered all over Irving's body. Strengthen the physical drastically.

"You-you...."

"Haha! Be afraid! Because now, I won't hesitate to.... Huh huh? Why are you laughing?" ask Irving curiously.

"Haha.... No. gabe. It's just...."

At that time, Irving only realized what was really facing him from earlier.

Lucius was seen throwing away the knife in his left hand long ago before giving a ready gaze to pounce on his prey.

"I don't think I fit a knife" Lucius continued.

Both of his hands were now wrapped in a strong reddish flame. So also with the soles of his feet covered by the greenish-colored thin wind.

"Don't say.... You.." said Irving with a trembling body.

With such a terrifying look, contrasting with the smile on his face, Lucius retorted.

"Yes. It was the first time I used a knife in a fight just now. Because the truth is, I am a witch." Lucius replied with a smile.

Even without the Clairvoyance Eye, the amount of Mana that Lucius released was enormous. Even ordinary people can realize it.

And with no chance for Irving to react, even with his incredible reflexes, Lucius' right hand punch had hollowed Irving's chest and burned what was left of his body.

'Braa!!'

The body of the bandit boss lay helplessly on the ground. Leaving only Lucius alone in this bandit headquarters.

"You know? Thanks though. I learned a lot from you. Now I know what else to train." Lucius replied before leaving this cave with all the treasures in it.

He intends to report everything to Alex and take the prize.

Meanwhile Carmilla who saw the entire battle of Lucius just now, could only smile happily.

The shadow of Carmilla can be seen in the waterholes in this cave. Showing his figure who is so proud of the growth of Lucius to this day.

'That's right, Lucius. No matter how much Mana one has, if one cannot make good use of it then there will be no use.'
