The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 74 - Heroes
After passing through the portal created by Alora, Lucius was able to see such an incredible sight.
Not in the sense that it is a beautiful or awe-inspiring sight. But because he could see the scene where the Sword Hero Cadera split part of the body of the Dragon the bearer of disaster, Ashenflare.
In front of him, there was an almost perfectly straight valley. With very steep cliffs, even almost perpendicular.
The length of this valley reaches 1,000 meters more, with a depth that is said to reach 180 meters. While the width itself reaches almost 50 meters.
Other than the Cadera Valley, this place is only surrounded by a vast grassland with very few trees.
'Swuuushh!!!'
The wind blew quite fiercely along with the dance of the grass around it. While Lucius still continued to stare in amazement at how big the valley before him was.
'Lucius, what is this place?' ask Carmilla curiously.
Realizing Lucius could not answer him directly, as Alora's figure still standing beside him cast a high-level space magic spell, Carmilla immediately took over Lucius' body.
Let him answer in his mind.
'Cadera Valley. Created from the former slash of the sword hero at that time, namely Cadera. He said his slash was able to cut off part of Ashenflare's body. Including his left arm.' Lucius retorted at length.
At least that was what he learned during the history lessons in the academy.
After obtaining his answer, Carmilla immediately restored control of Lucius' body. Think about how terrifying the strength of the hero was against Ashenflare.
'Honestly, if I don't see it in person.... Maybe I won't believe it. After all, what kind of slash could make a valley like this?' lucius thought in his own heart.
As he looked into the dark and deep abyss, Lucius could feel it. No. gabe.... He can see it very clearly.
That collection of demonic Mana that was so dark and evil was visible at the bottom of the abyss. Staring back at Lucius with hatred.
Even at the bottom of the abyss, the demon Zephyrith still continued to gather the surrounding Mana. Trying to evolve further.
If allowed to....
It is likely that a new disaster in the human territory will be born.
But while Lucius was still busy thinking about those things, a gigantic magic circle with a purplish color appeared behind him.
The size reaches 20 meters more. With a purplish light so bright, hide the human figure contained in it.
Or rather, hundreds of people.
A line of Holy Knights was seen emerging from the magic circle. A high-level space magic, capable of moving even hundreds of warriors at once.
'Sruuugg!!!'
The entire Holy Knight immediately knelt down towards Alora. Including a holy knight in the vanguard who immediately took off his mithril helmet.
Shows the figure of a man with short reddish hair. On his face, some scars could be clearly seen.
"Lunaria Church's Inquisitor Roland reported for duty" he said on his knees and lowered his head.
Behind him, the row of 200 Holy Knights also kneeled neatly. No one dared to raise their head before they were told to.
"Lift your heads" said Alora briefly.
At that moment, everyone started to raise their heads. Their gazes were all fixed on Alora's figure.
"At the bottom of this valley, there was a very powerful monster. Have the power of dark darkness. More than that, the monster continued to evolve to become even more powerful." explained Alora with such a serious face and voice.
Not understanding how, Lucius could only follow his knees to Alora.
'But Lucius, even though the hero of the time when the yellow lizard was raging was very strong, didn't the hero now look so weak? Look at that woman. He can't even overcome that imperfect demon. Until I have to call for reinforcements? Embarrassing.'
In reality, Lucius was also thinking the same thing.
It is true that the Mana in Alora's body is very abundant. At least 50, maybe 100 times bigger than Lucius's.
But that's all.
Of course compared to ordinary humans, Alora was very strong. Compared to heroes of the past?
The power of Alora is not even at the tip of Cadera's fingernails that create a valley of this size. That's what Lucius had in mind.
After an explanation for less than a minute, Alora went into the most important core of the discussion.
"Because of that, I will use one-fifth of the power of Divine Judgement on that monster. Give me time by holding the monster in the same place for 2 minutes.
Then Lucius, I need your help to get them to escape after my preparations have matured. You don't have to come because maybe you're just gonna hold them back. You only need to open portals on both sides of the valley floor after 2 minutes have passed. Understood?" alora is obviously at length.
"understand!" reply to all the Holy Knights. And so did Lucius.
Quickly, Alora made six portals at once. The six portals immediately connected between this place and the bottom of the Cadera Valley.
The Holy Knights immediately rushed to enter it. In an instant, they had been right at the bottom of the abyss. Obstructing the move from the Demon Zephyrith was all his might.
Before the Inquisitor named Roland entered the portal....
"Roland, don't die. That's orders. The church still needs you elsewhere" Alora said without looking at the reddish-haired man.
"Understanding, Miss Alora." she replied briefly as she slightly lowered her head and placed her right hand on her chest.
Only Lucius and Alora remain at the top of the valley.
"You can see it, right? The exact coordinates of the valley floor from my portal?" ask Alora.
Lucius remained silent. He is actually quite confused over Alora who knows that she can see the coordinates of the exact location that Alora's portal is pointing at.
"Whatever your reason for staying in class F, I won't ask you much. But please, my knight's life is at stake here. So, make sure you open the portal in time to bring them back here." continued Alora.
"I understand."
"Now, get away from me a little."
Lucius immediately stepped on his foot. Stay away from the hero who now has a facial expression that is completely different from before.
As if he were a different person.
'Taaa!!!'
Alora is seen hitting her magic wand to the ground, where it floats by itself in front of her.
Both of his hands appeared to be stretched out as wide as possible. Her sweet lips seemed to be chanting something for the magic she had never heard of.
..."With the honor and power I have,...
...I, Alora Skyweaver, summon this Divine Light....
...From far away in the majestic sky realm,...
...These sacred elements are united in elegance."...
After chanting the first stanza, a strong air could be felt around Alora's body. Lucius who made sure he used his magic eyes felt like vomiting after seeing it.
From the sky, an incredible amount of Mana seemed to descend just like that. Flowing on Alora's body. The number even reached thousands of times the Mana that Lucius currently possessed.
..."The fire was burning in a burning blaze,...
...The wind waved with a felt fame,...
...Light radiates in unshakable glory."...
After the second stanza, three giant magic circles began to emerge from the ground where Alora was standing. Slowly start to rise above his head.
The three magic circles had different colors. At the top is a reddish color, followed by a bright light green color, and ended by a beautiful golden color.
..."Oh, Goddess of Light, noble Lunaria,...
...Let me be your channel of strength....
...In Your name, I cast out darkness,...
...Burn the way to impeccable chastity."...
Shortly after the third stanza of her magic trick, five bright blue magic circles appeared around Alora's body. Circling around him continuously.
With those perfect magic eyes, Lucius was able to see them. That the five new magic circles act as 'containers' while Mana is so abundant.
Where with such a beautiful golden color was continuously stored into the five pieces of the magic circle. Lucius was sure, Where it was unmistakably came from Goddess Lunaria directly.
Slowly, Alora appears to be creating dozens of new magic circles on top of the previous three giant magic circles. Everything is pointing towards the sky.
As Lucius was stunned at how beautiful and enormous the Mana of Alora was today, he almost forgot that almost 2 minutes had passed.
Quickly, Lucius immediately created two portals that connected to the bottom of the abyss.
One by one, the Holy Knights appeared to be running out of his artificial portal.
..."With this cry, bring to this world the light of Your majesty,...
...Shining brightly, rolling up all evil,...
...Protect, destroy, and purify with justice. ...
...Divine Judgement's."...
After finishing the fourth and final verse of his reckoning, Lucius was able to see dozens of giant magic circles in the sky. Right above the Demon Zephyrith's body was.
All magic circles are arranged in stages with various sizes. While the magic circle with the largest size is right at the bottom.
That was when....
Lucius immediately withdrew his previous doubts. Doubts about how he compared Alora to the previous hero.
Doubt that Lucius at once thought that Alora was too weak as a hero.
Because right after the magic spell was over....
A golden radiance from the sky, pierced through the dozens of golden magic circles. It gets bigger each time it passes through it, and also becomes stronger.
In the end, Lucius could only go open. Seeing a golden beam of gigantic size engulfed the entire width of the Cadera Valley.
Destroy everything that goes through it.
