The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 72 - Disaster

While Lucius was still busy thinking about how to deal with the demon, the demon was suddenly thrown quite far away.

At Lucius's sight, the demonic figure was seen pierced by several large purplish-colored ice spears.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps could be heard in Lucius' ears.

"You have fought, Lucius. I'm sorry I just found you." said a woman with long silver hair who had decomposed so beautifully.

He was wearing neat clothes under the white robe with the golden light emblem.

In his right hand, there was a magic wand with a beautiful crystal at the end.

Although he had never seen her in person, Lucius could tell the figure of the woman beside him. Starting from body posture, clothing, to equipment.

Everything was in accordance with the figure of the magician hero who was currently in the Human Kingdom.

"No-Miss Alora Skyweaver?! Real one?!" lucius shouted with a smile so wide on his face.

To the boy, Alora was a figure that was greatly idolized by him. Not only that, thanks to his writing book that made Lucius able to understand the concept of space magic.

Use it to escape from that dimensional prison.

"Of course." she replied with a friendly smile.

Her beauty is truly incomparable. Perhaps for Lucius, the woman before him was just less charming with Carmilla's figure reflected on the mirror.

But other than her beauty, Lucius' magic eyes could see how the figure before him could obtain the title of hero and be endowed by the Goddess of Light.

'Which amount is so great, is this the power of a hero chosen by the Goddess of Light Lunaria?!' lucius thought in his heart with excitement.

"By the way, Lucius. That monster just, what?" alora asked with a slightly confused face.

"Aaah that.... That, how do you explain it? It used to be a mysterious man who locked me in a dimensional prison, then he injected something into his neck and it turned into that" Lucius explained.

"Inject something? In jail? What did he do to you?" ask Alora back.

"He made medicine to create demons. Whereas I was just locked up in a dimensional prison, where he said he wanted to inject it into me, turn me into a demon."

Lucius' reply made Alora re-unite the various information she had so far.

'Zephyrith's body was indeed weak, as was his Mana. So that was why he planned to use Lucius as a trial material?' alora thought in her heart as she continued to look at Lucius' figure.

But in Alora's heart, she was still wondering. How could a Zephyrith figure who didn't even have so much Mana be able to use space magic that easily?

Because space magic is one of the most extravagant magic Mana. With Zephyrith's talent in magic low enough, there should be no way he could do it.

"Hm.... Didn't she? Alright. Since everything is in order, I'll take you back and...."

...'BLAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!'...

From a distance, an enormous explosion could be seen illuminating the darkness of the night. Like the light of the sun.

'Swwuuussshhh!!!'

The power from the explosion was really so great that it made a strong wind slightly blow Lucius and Alora's bodies backwards.

Rocks and sand flew here and there because of the wind. Similarly, the trees around this volcano are struggling so hard not to collapse, but in the end also unable to.

From the mountain slope, there was a fire that began to spread in all directions. In the midst of the fire....

The demonic figure of Zephyrith was still standing, with wounds on his body recovering quickly.

"What is true?! Just now a high-level ice magic isn't it?!" lucius shouted after realizing that.

An ice spear at such a high level should be able to freeze all of its target organs when touched. Killed them instantly because of that extremely cold air.

But the devil managed to survive.

It's just....

There were two things that prevented Lucius from leaving this place.

The first was so that Carmilla could confirm that the demonic power contained in Zephyrith's body actually came from Carmilla's own power.

If true, then there will be a lot of problems ahead.

Then the second....

Alora is very strong. It is appropriate to be called a hero witch. But that was him.

A sorcerer.

Not a swordsman nor a martial artist.

Given the Zephyrith's swift movements and terrifying physical abilities, Alora would have great difficulty launching her attacks.

No matter how smart a person was, how much talent he had, even if that person was blessed by the Goddess of Light, using high-level magic always required a long forecasting time.

That is why Lucius created Arcana, to overcome this weakness.

Because that's it....

"I'll stay here." Lucius replied, refusing to leave.

"You crazy?! The monster could regenerate even after losing all of its organs! You're...."

"With all due respect, Miss Alora. Let me be a distraction for you. Then use your strongest magic to kill that demon, without giving it a chance to regenerate."

Of course, the offer from Lucius was what Alora had come to expect.

Seeing this kind of condition, Alora desperately needed someone strong enough to be a distraction.

But....

"Some Holy Knights of the Church will be arriving soon. It took me a long time because I was less used to making large portals, but they would arrive. So there's no need for you to...."

...'BLAAAAAAAAAAARRR!!!'...

Using simple fire magic, the Zephyrith Demon was able to create what resembled a high-level fire magic, Meteor Strike, in this region.

Dozens of giant fireballs shot him into the air, before finally falling back to the ground in a completely random direction.

Plied the region with giant fireballs that blew up and melted whatever it touched.

"Miss Alora, we can't let her go on a rampage any longer. Take it easy, I have this." Lucius replied briefly while showing off his Arcana which had been badly damaged.

In a single glance, Alora was able to comprehend the magic structures and formations embedded within that Arcana. A faint smile could be seen adorning his face.

"Anti-Magic Areas huh? Attractively. Alright. Then help me throw it somewhere else. We can't let her go on a rampage here." Alora replied.

"Understand! I just need to push him into the portal you created, right?" asked Lucius who immediately prepared his horses to run down this mountain.

"It's good if you understand. Come on!"

The two immediately rushed towards the rampaging demon.

Lucius made use of wind magic to increase his running speed. While Alora herself is seen sitting on the handle of her magic wand, then using wind magic to fly away.

'As expected of heroes, they are strong. Even stronger than the generation of heroes in my era, Carmilla said after the meeting just now.

"Is that so? In that case, he could at least match a demon with 10 times more Mana than his, right?" reply Lucius with a soft voice.

'The devil is not perfect. Unintelligent. With his strength, he could kill him easily. As long as it has the chance to cast its magic of course.'
