The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 84 - Accusations

'Swuuushh!!!'

In the corner of this room, a portal was created. From behind, the figure of Alora is seen walking slowly with a pretty terrible gaze.

"So, Lucius. Who exactly are you? How could you gain such a great power in such an instant?" asked Alora who continued walking slowly towards Lucius.

Lucius himself could only be silent. If he makes too many suspicious or unnecessary moves, the chances of charges against him will be even greater

"It is unnatural for a human being to reach such a great power in half a year. Then now you're able to hide that power perfectly?" ask Alora again.

He stood in front of Lucius. Directing his magic wand right at him.

'This hero.... He's not kidding at all. Should I tell you the truth? Not likely. Then..' Lucius thought after seeing the flow of Mana Alora turning into a bright blue, with such a high intensity.

Everything flowed at the end of his magic wand. Ready to shoot ice magic anytime he wants.

But before Lucius could say a word, a familiar voice in his ears could be heard.

"What have my students done?"

Instantly, the entire gaze was fixed on the source of the voice. Alora and Levaria.

Behind that door, the figure of a woman who was so charming could be seen standing with her arms folded in front of her chest.

He had long white hair with red eyes that were so intimidating. While the clothes are so neat and beautiful as if to declare that he comes from a famous family.

Alora who saw Mana the woman was quite surprised.

'Having a tenth of my mana? Even without the blessing of Goddess Lunaria? Who's he?' alora thought in her heart.

It was common knowledge that the Elves were the most highly magical race on the continent.

If only the one standing before Alora was an Elf, she wouldn't be surprised. But the woman in front of him was unmistakably a human being.

"Murids? Whatchu mean?" ask Levaria.

"Hm. Did you forget when Lucius disappeared in that cave? I saved it and trained it." Carmilla replied without the slightest hesitation at her words.

"Eh?"

Alora who heard the reply was even more shocked. Even if it was true that he was a great teacher, it was impossible to become that strong in an instant.

And also....

Who exactly is that woman?

"Aah, sorry. I was late to introduce myself. Carmilla Bloodthorne's. I used to be a little noble, but my territory was destroyed by barbarians and made me wander without direction." Carmilla replied as she slightly lifted her robe and lowered her head.

"Bloodthorne? I've never heard of it. Maybe from the North?" ask Levaria to Alora.

"That's possible. Huh.... Rulers in every region should stop giving titles to just anyone. But, sorry. Can you tell me what happened to Lucius? I saw her Mana drop drastically." asked Alora back.

He still showed a look filled with doubt. This includes a mysterious woman named Carmilla herself.

"Is that so? Then your training went well, Lucius. Keep that up for a month. If you can do it, you will be able to reach my level." Carmilla replied with a wide smile. His right hand was gently stroking Lucius' hair.

"Whatchu mean? Suppressing a portion of the amount of Mana might be easy, but making the Mana capacity look up to a lot lower...."

Alora had not yet finished her words, her doubts soon answered right before her eyes.

"Is that so?" asked Carmilla once more with a cynical smile.

'Wh-what the hell is that?! Which Capacity is his.... The amount.... Everything was.... Disappear?! Leaving only the Mana equal as a child?!' alora thought surprised instead of playing and scared.

Even for a high-level mage, being able to suppress a fifth of his Mana alone was already extremely powerful. For special cases, the magic hero Alora could suppress up to three-quarters of her Mana.

But this?!

What Carmilla showed, it was unmistakable to be at a much higher level than her.

An ability to suppress nearly 100% of his Mana.

And what scared Alora was....

'If so, exactly how big is this person's Mana capacity?!'

With the Mana suppression as perfect as it was, it was almost impossible to precisely estimate the Mana of his opponent. It could be, Mana Carmilla was much higher than him.

Which in reality was still far from Mana Alora itself.

"Haha! If you think like that, then you are not worthy to teach this talented disciple of mine. Lucius, leave this stupid academy and...."

"Wait first! I-we're sorry!" yelled Levaria panicked.

If Lucius could truly control his Mana capacity, it was unmistakable that he was a genius born in the hundreds once on this continent.

But of course. It's all just Carmilla bullshit. Lucius had absolutely no such ability, let alone practice suppressing his Mana.

Everything is just a bluff.

The Mana suppression technique performed by Carmilla was also the same. It was nothing but a useless trick that drained almost half of his Mana.

Just to save Lucius from this situation.

"Then can you explain the gray color to Lucius's Mana? Is that part of your training?" ask Alora again.

The real answer to that question was of course, because Lucius was no longer an ordinary human being. It has evolved to a higher level after undergoing Awakening.

But explain such a big secret....

"of course. I trained him to change the kind of Mana he had. Like this." replied Carmilla who changed back a little part of her body to Elf.

Making Alora's eyes see the greenish Mana color inside Carmilla's body.

"Where's Elf? This kind of magic.... Where'd you learn that?" alora asked with a goosebumping body.

All of the magic shown by Carmilla can be categorized as special-level magic that has long since disappeared in time.

A magic that is considered only in the form of fairy tales and nonsense to beautify the story of the struggle of human heroes in the past.

But all that....

Is it really real?

"I'm sorry, but it's my family's secret. Didn't nobles always have a secret magic on their families?"

With that reply, Carmilla immediately stepped away from that empty classroom. Pulling Lucius in his right hand while trying to continue to hold a smile on his face.

"Portals.... To home.... Hurry...."

Lucius simply nodded and immediately created a simple portal with his limited Mana.

Meanwhile....

"He even mastered space magic? Miss Alora! Don't you intend to chase after him?!" ask Levaria.

Alora looked at the slowly shrinking magic portal, shutting it completely.

"The goal is just to go to his house. For some reason, I felt that Lucius was not the figure foretold by the Holy Girl, Mary. In my eyes, Lucius is really still a complete human being."

"If so, then who? There are hardly any people with such a character anymore! Not to mention rivaling his talent!"

Alora was silent on the spot. Think about what is and is going to happen in this human kingdom.

"Stop it. But I will continue to watch over him along with the hundred Holy Knights. If Lucius does anything suspicious, or shows that he is not human, I will kill him with my own hands."

.......

Meanwhile, at Lucius' house....

In the bathroom in Lucius's room....

"Hoeeeek!!! Yereerrggghhh!!!"

Carmilla was seen spewing a lot of blood with several lumps of meat coming out of her mouth.

His skin that has been pale white since then, now looks even more pale.

Cold sweat continued to flow from Carmilla's body. While Lucius himself stood behind him, imparting healing magic with his mischief.

Finally after about 5 minutes....

"Well.... Huh.... Huh.... Consuming Mana alone to destroy internal organs, all for the sake of creating an illusion I can suppress my Mana to the point of being unresponsive, sick as well huh?" carmilla said with a light laugh after going through all the pain.

"After all, why do you have to do that?!" asked Lucius in a panic. He did not stop using his healing magic at all even though Carmilla had improved.

"Why? Of course, because my body is currently unable to rival the monster in the form of the Goddess messenger. The Mana difference between me and him is only one in ten. But as the Goddess's messenger, she could always ask for additional Mana on her Goddess whenever she wanted. In other words, an impossible fight is won."

Lucius understood Carmilla's words completely. Because by the time Alora used Divine Judgement magic, Lucius could see it.

A flow of Mana thousands of times that of his Mana came from the sky, heading right into Alora's body right then and there.

"If by this I can fool them about the Awakening you did, I'm satisfied." Carmilla continued.

Feeling guilty, Lucius replied.

"Thank you, dan.... Sorry."

"Hahaha, what for? Who would have thought the Church was starting to suspect you? Even to the point of knowing you're no longer human. But.... Wh why? Don't we also have no intention of ruining the world?" ask Carmilla in astonishment.

"So, you know...."

.......

In the Northern Continent, in a place filled with barbarians. This area is considered lawless territory.

No matter how much evil one commits, how much one kills, also how bad one's attitude is....

As long as He can survive and show his absolute strength in front of others, no one will dare to disturb him. Especially questioning.

'Sruuugg!'

When the sun starts to set....

In the middle of the river, a girl is seen sitting with a face filled with sadness. His body was soaked due to the flow of the river.

He continued to look at the reflection of the river that was quite clear. Questioning again and again about his actions.

Starting from his long black hair, to his disgusting ears. Who started all this.

An ear of a Half-Elf. Making it unacceptable in both regions, be it human territory or Elf territory.

Before he got here, he had been trying to take refuge in the Elven territory. The same thing awaits him there. Where he was hunted by other Elves and shouted with a language that he could not understand at all.

"Is it true like this, teacher?" ask the girl with tears that don't stop flowing.

It's just....

The girl was in the wrong place to be sad. Because of this region....

"Wohoooo! Elf Girl! And also very beautiful! All of them! We're going to party tonight!" shouted one of the barbarians.

His appearance resembled that of a human, but his body was much larger with an average height of 2 meters. His muscles also look so big with very high physical abilities.

From behind the rocks, the other 5 barbarians began walking with faces filled with happiness.

Some of them were seen licking the axe that had started to rust. Others began to take off their robes.

The girl immediately turned her gaze. Looking towards the direction where the barbarian began to walk towards him. Passing through the river with a fairly gentle current.

"Can I help you?" asked the girl still with a face filled with sadness.

"Haha! Sure was! Come with me and...."

'Zraaasshhhh!!!'

Without the slightest warning, the man's body just split into two. His blood dyed the river water into redness.

"Eh?!"

The other barbarians looked surprised at what they had just seen. No sword was drawn. Even the girl's hand was still stuck on the riverbed, not moving in the slightest.

Then how can it be?

"Sorry, I'm sad so can you not bother me?"

That was the last sentence the barbarians heard. Before their bodies were split in two by the wind magic used by the girl.

Wind magic was simple, yet in the hands of someone with talent and Mana as big as him....

It makes it a deadly weapon.
