The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 69 - The Fruit of Hard Work

Day to 19

Lucius still had not eaten at all, other than filling his stomach with water from his magic. All of that to ease the hunger a little.

But his body, which had been deprived of nutrients for 19 days, began to show its effects. His body started to become increasingly thin and weak.

While the Mana in his body is getting thinner.

Just in case, Lucius had always set aside enough Mana to use space magic several times. Had the mysterious man forced his way into this dimension, he could have seen his tracks directly and used them to escape.

But until this moment, the Zephyrith had not dared to step foot in this self-made dimension at all.

Zephyrith's original plan to drain Lucius' unique magical information, turning him into a demon to become a pawn completely reversed.

Now it is precisely the Zephyrith itself that is threatened by the presence of Lucius nearby.

"Well.... Hungry.." lamented Lucius as he continued throwing the small stone into the air as he walked.

And Carmilla? He decided to keep quiet. To make room for Lucius to think calmly.

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

Day to 24

After more than three weeks of being inside this cursed world, Lucius had finally found it.

'Swuusshh!'

As Lucius threw the small stone into the air with the same force as he always did, it was suddenly thrown quite high.

Even too high.

"Huh?" lucius asked puzzledly as he looked at the small stone that was still continuing to soar upwards. Get higher every second, before reaching a height of about 15 times what it should be and start falling down slowly.

'Stamp!'

Lucius caught the stone with a faint smile on his face.

"Haha.... Looks like you're late, whoever locked me up here." Lucius said like a lunatic.

Zephyrith and Aurelia, who had grown tired of overseeing Lucius' 5-day rock-throwing behavior, missed the most important thing in their plan.

And Lucius realized it right then and there.

He had understood that this world was not within one's Mana core, but rather a physical magic tool.

The proof, he could see the existence of two people peering from outside this dimension. Using the never-moving reddish sun as its camouflage.

Not only that, Lucius had memorized outside his head regarding the size and all the laws in this artificial dimension.

As he looked towards the reddish sky, Lucius' smile became even wider.

"Haha! Of course I missed it. It is even thinner than a strand of human hair." Lucius said to himself with a loud laugh.

What he saw, was nothing but a thin line made from the flow of Mana.

More precisely, a leak in this artificial dimension.

The downside of a magic tool was of course one, that it could suffer physical damage and cause a disruption to its main function.

Just like this.

Without hesitation, Lucius immediately created an ordinary portal to try to escape from that thin crack.

But....

'Yaharrr!!!'

Once again, an ordinary portal without the right key would not be able to provide a way out for Lucius.

"No problem, I guessed it too. Because of my true purpose." said Lucius while pointing his right hand forward.

He was seen scratching his right hand on his sword before that, making a considerable drop of blood from his fingertips.

"I, Lucius Nightshade, summon lost souls in the darkness." said Lucius, who began his magic recitation.

"Teacher! It's bad! S-magic Lucius.." cried the girl in panic.

By the time Zephyrith got there to see how things were going, it was too late. In the middle of the endless desert, Lucius was seen standing before a giant magic circle.

A magic circle with a reddish color seemed to glow in line with the light in that world.

"Where?! Where's the leak?!" zephyrith shouted in surprise after realizing that Lucius' magic could work.

In a panic, Zephyrith and Aurelia examined the entire Relic magic Prism of Eternity. And finally after about half a minute of searching, they found him.

A small crack on one side of the octagonal ball.

In that panic, Zephyrith immediately used earth element magic to refine it. It slowly creates those rare metal particles.

Closing a rift that was even much smaller than that of an ant.

But....

It's all too late.

Lucius who had realized it first, gained the advantage of Relic's flaw of magic.

Now before him, the reddish magic circle had finished forming. All that remains is one.

"The answer is my calling, O lost animals! With my strength, I will promise you a large amount of fresh water!"

With the offer of water as his contract, dozens of stray animals from around this place immediately answered him.

Starting from the shepherd sheep that was released from the herd, deer that were lost in the depths of the forest, rabbits that were thirsty to dehydrated, to wolves that had been abandoned by his group.

All answered Lucius' call right then and there, and appeared right before him.

The summoning magic that was usually used to summon those saint beasts or powerful monsters, was instead used to summon ordinary animals by Lucius after changing his magic formation slightly.

With a big smile, Lucius shouted towards the reddish sun.

"Buahaha! End your history! With this, I can survive for months ahead! Just wait for a reply for trapping me in a fucking place like this!" lucius shouted so loudly.

His shout was not just a shout to intimidate his opponent.

But also a declaration of victory from him.

With dozens of animals beginning to surround himself, Lucius will no longer have any problems regarding food.

He could even begin to regenerate his Mana after eating these animals.

And before that....

Lucius immediately fulfilled his summoning contract. It creates enough water for all of them.

'Boat! Alaaaaarrrr!!!'

With simple earth magic, Lucius made a fairly large and deep basin of land.

It looks like a small lake. And after that, he filled it full of fresh water using his water element magic.

After allowing the animals to gulp down the water for a while, Lucius immediately began to move.

He pulled one of the deer from the herd of called animals. Brought him into his ice building, then slaughtered him using his Mithril sword.

And with that....

"Source of meat obtained. Carmilla, you like grilled venison, don't you?" lucius asked in a soft voice.

His thin body seemed to be filled with the blood of the animal he had just slaughtered.

While at the side, there are many pieces of meat that have been arranged neatly and then frozen with ice to maintain its durability.

With happiness, Carmilla replied.

'of course! Tonight, we're having a party, right?!'
