The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 73 - Remaining

'Srruuugg!!!'

Lucius began to stop his footsteps. Now, He stands right in the middle of the flames made by Satan.

His left hand was holding his Arcana. Draining the Mana into it slowly as a guarantee to protect it from the deadly magic of the Zephyrith.

Meanwhile Alora is seen flying through the air using her magic wand. He pointed both his hands down, where a bluish magic circle formation could be seen.

'Water magic? Aah, might want to weaken her a little?' lucius thought in his heart.

He quickly started his attack using that Mithril sword.

With a powerful footstroke, Lucius darted swiftly towards the silent demonic figure of the Zephyrith amidst the flames.

'There's no fight? Then..' thought Lucius who unhesitatingly changed his attack immediately.

He turned his body to the right quickly while jumping into the air. Directing that round of slashes right at his opponent's neck.

'Zraaaaat!! Ohhhhhhhh!!'

But beyond his expectations, his sword was simply unable to inflict a deep wound on the Zephyrith Demon's body.

Only able to scratch a little skin on the outside only.

'Shit! It's bad!' lucius shouted in his heart before immediately leaping backwards as far as possible.

Despite having received that supposedly quite dangerous attack, Zephyrith was seen only speechless on the ground. His mouth moved slowly as if he were saying something.

"Why.... Why would.... Why.." said Zephyrith continuously in a soft voice.

'He regained his consciousness?' thought Lucius.

But when Alora's hail of ice spears rained down on her body, the Zephyrith just reacted again.

'Tap 'em! Taps! Jleebb!! Jleeb!!!'

With incredible reflexes, the Zephyrith jumped several times to dodge the ice spear. Realized that the spear could hurt him.

Fortunately, some of those ice spears had managed to injure his Demon wings. He was no longer able to fly as before.

"Lucy!" yell Alora.

Lucius understood what the cry meant. That is to immediately launch his plan to send the Zephyrith in a different place.

'Sruuugg!! Nizhne!!'

Just by relying on his physical abilities, Lucius ran as fast as he could. And after reaching the right distance, he jumped to give a powerful kick.

'Blaaaaaarrr!!!'

'Damn it! So loud!' lucius complained after feeling the sensation of kicking the demon's body.

Despite not inflicting any injuries, Lucius managed to throw the Zephyrith's body back several meters. Where Alora quickly created a portal right in the direction of the demon's body's movement.

'Tap!! !'!sruuuggg!!!'

Unexpectedly, the Zephyrith was able to sense the existence of that portal and quickly jumped to the side to avoid it.

"W-what?! He realized?" alora said a little panicked. The monster that previously seemed to have no sense, was now suddenly able to move with various considerations in its head?

"Yourself!!! He still continued to absorb the Mana around him!!! It was likely that he would continue to evolve even more!!!" lucius shouted after realizing the reality.

The ice spear attack from Alora earlier was the trigger. Making the natural instincts of all living beings shout out loudly.

That his opponent was extremely dangerous, and had to do anything to survive.

Therefore, the evolution that should have stalled in the previous form, now continues again.

The current body of the Zephyrith had shrunk enough to be just the size of a typical adult male. Even so, his strength continued to increase drastically.

Lucius could see it very clearly using his magic eyes.

That up to this second, the Zephyrith continuously absorbed the Mana present in the surrounding environment at a terrifying speed.

If not for the protection of his Arcana effect, Lucius' Mana would have also probably been absorbed just like that.

"More.... Strength.." said Zephyrith with consciousness beginning to re-form.

Using her right hand, Alora created an ice spear with such a large dark purple color.

Using his left hand, he summoned dozens of chains of light to restrain the demon that was in front of his eyes.

'Fraaaaangg!!! Ohhhhhhh!!! Ohhhhhai!!'

Dozens of chains of light shot out rapidly from various directions. All of them targeted that vital point on the demon's body.

But as if dancing, the devil was able to avoid everything so easily.

Even if it had lost its mind to use complex magic like before, the Zephyrith's current extraordinary strength made it completely unnecessary for magic.

Only with his physical abilities.

'Blaaar!!!'

He hit his right leg very hard on the ground. Makes an incredible vibration and also cracks the ground up to tens of meters around it.

While the punch with his right hand made a very strong shockwave in the direction of his punch. Tearing down dozens of trees at once, including breaking most of Alora's light chains.

"What is true?! This monster?! Goddamnit! At a time like this, why was the sword hero just a helpless old geezer?!" alora lamented who immediately threw dozens of magic bullets of various elements towards Zephyrith.c

From behind the dust that covered the ground where Zephyrith stood, his figure was still unharmed in the slightest. Despite receiving dozens of magic bullets from Alora.

His physical abilities completely surpassed even the strongest of humans.

No. gabe....

More precisely....

The mana that formed dozens of magic bullets was slowly beginning to be absorbed into the Zephyrith's body. Makes it stronger again.

With a sharp look in his eyes, the current figure of the Zephyrith seemed as if it was beginning to regain its senses. Also intelligence.

This is evidenced by what is done next.

"Meteor.." he said softly, mentioning one of the strongest fire element magic in this human kingdom.

He spread his hands wide. Created a gigantic magic circle formation on the ground where it stood.

A reddish-colored magic circle formation lit up so brightly that night.

'It's bad! I must.' thought Lucius in his heart. He quickly ran towards the Zephyrit with his Arcana active. Intending to wipe out that magic formation with his Arcana.

But....

"I.... Understood.... Your abilities.... Man." said Zephyrith, flicking a finger on his right hand. Creating a simple wind magic, the wind blast.

The magic did not inflict a great wound, nor could it hurt Lucius directly. But the shockwave and the wind pressure it created were able to push Lucius backwards tens of meters backward.

'Damn it! He is aware of my distance and Arcana function?!'

It was then that Lucius regained his Arcana weakness. That is, he must touch it directly for the Arcana to be active.

Due to the magic formation being so complex in it, making the Arcana required a large supply of Mana within.

That's why he has to keep holding it.

Or the.... That's what he thought.

"Give me! Lucius!" yelled Alora loudly. A small portal immediately appeared to Lucius' left, as if asking him to throw the Arcana through his portal.

Without hesitation, Lucius did as Alora asked.

'Swuushh!'

With a quick throw, the Arcana card immediately changes hands. Alora held him in her right hand. Trying to comprehend the magic formation within it as quickly as possible while continuing to fill it with Mana.

"So then, then." said Alora who filled the Arcana with as much Mana as she could, without destroying it.

The figure of Zephyrith who was still chanting magic spells for the Meteor fell silent on the spot. But it still remained difficult to approach him thanks to his strength.

Not long after, Lucius' Arcana card caused a bluish light that was so bright. It is made of Mana itself.

After filling it with as much Mana as possible, Alora immediately threw it right towards the standing Zephyrit.

'Swuuuusshhh!!! Jleeb!!!'

Quickly, the card was stuck on the ground right in front of the Zephyrith.

'Zraaaaaaaaat!!! Kreeettaa!!'kkk!!!'

It didn't take long for the Arcana to work. In just the blink of an eye, the Arcana immediately pushed out the entire Mana that was within the 10-meter area with the card as its center.

Destroying the Meteor magic formation was in pieces, canceling the Zephyrith magic, as well....

Weakened the demon for a moment as his mana was also pushed out of the area around the Arcana card.

Since Alora was over-exerting the Arcana function to the point of overstepping her limit, the card immediately broke and shattered after a split second. But that's enough.

"Now! Lucius!" yelled Alora loudly.

Lucius, who had been waiting for this opportunity, immediately channeled as much Mana into his entire body as he could. Focusing most of his strength on his right hand while running towards Zephyrit.

With perfect horses, Lucius stopped right in front of the demon. Gave it all to his punch.

'BABAAAAAAAAAAARR!!!'

The blow from his punch sounded so powerful. Even able to slightly crack the skin on the chest of the devil.

But Lucius' goal was not to hurt him. Rather to push the Zephyrith's body as fast and as strong as possible.

Right in the direction of the Zephyrith's trajectory, there was already a portal waiting for it. Throw it in a place far from this region.

"You okay? Still capable of continuing?" alora asked who immediately flew down, hovering right beside Lucius.

Lucius himself was seen holding his shattered right hand with his left.

His fingers were no longer shaped, his bones also looked crumpled and out of position. While the blood still continues to flow profusely from what was once the right hand.

Using the healing magic taught by Carmilla, Lucius was able to recover it in less than 10 seconds.

From behind that beautiful greenish glow, Lucius' hands seemed to regenerate so quickly. Back to its original shape.

"No problem. So, where did you send it?" asked Lucius curiously.

With such a serious look, Alora also retorted.

"The place that has long been shunned by living things on this continent. The Cadera Valley."
