The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 90 - Wall

"Then." said Ethan in annoyance.

"Hmm? Wh why? Finally got an idea to beat me?" lucius asked after playing Ethan for about 2 minutes.

None of Ethan's attacks can hit him. And even though Ethan sets up traps and various tricks, Lucius is able to spot them easily.

"Iron skin!!!" ethan shouted very loudly while hitting the ground in front of him with both hands.

'Blaaaaarrr!!!'

An enormous impact occurred, spreading out a lot of sand in this Arena in all directions.

Lucius reflexively leapt back away from Ethan.

'Iron skin's.... I think it's gonna be a little troublesome.'

In witchcraft, the most complicated but weak element is the earth element.

Unlike fire that can burn enemies easily, or water that can heal and ice that can freeze enemies.

Also unlike the invisible wind element but sharper than a sword.

Earth element magic is considered weak by some people. Or at least.... By those who are civilians.

How not? Can only raise rocks from the ground? Manipulating land? Creating a light earthquake? What's the point of all that?

Of course, it was because of those who underestimated the earth element magic....

Never studied earth element magic further like Lucius.

If Lucius had been able to pick out the elemental talent on him, he would have without a doubt chosen the land element. That is because the soil element includes not only the rocks themselves, but everything that is in the ground.

Includes metals.

'Klaaanggg!!!'

Now Ethan's body is covered by a thick iron skin. Just hitting both hands made a pretty loud noise.

"Haha.... Really am. If only I had talent in the earth element, things would have been easier for me." Lucius told himself with a light laugh.

He realized that his current position was very disadvantaged. Lucius' physical beginnings have been inferior to Ethan's. But now his opponent has an iron skin? Even able to use magic freely?

The only advantage Lucius had was his technique.

'Zraaatt!!!'

Quickly, Lucius darted towards Ethan standing up. He grasped the blunt sword with both hands. Prepare to use one of the Formless Sword Technique.

'Three slashes!' lucius cried out in his heart.

The speed of his hand movements was simply unable to be followed by Ethan's eyes. But it was no longer necessary for him.

Because it's....

'Klaaanggg!!!'

Only on the first slash did Lucius' attack bounce off violently. The vibration from the reflection made his muscles that had been exhausted from the beginning from his training become very painful.

"Kumlgh!!"

Lucius immediately twisted his body, using Ethan's hard body as a foothold to jump backwards.

'Srruu!!!'

"Why retreat? You scared?" ethan asked, clenching both hands.

Lucius only fell silent, watching his hands trembling from the reflection of the attack just now.

'Damn, this is so bad. Well, as expected of Class B, he had already mastered the Iron Skin perfectly.' Lucius thought with a bitter smile on his face.

If only Lucius had his former magic ability it would have been very easy for him to turn this around.

Using the wind element to increase the speed of his sword slash, it simultaneously enveloped his sword in flames to increase its crushing power.

Even Ethan's iron body would be split in two if he had just a little bit of his former strength.

But now, after he says he doesn't need magic to defeat Ethan....

If He used even a little bit of Mana in his body, Luna, the Head of the Academy as well as Alora would immediately notice it. That his Mana capacity had actually been drained away.

A phenomenon that should never have happened to living things in this world.

'Blaaaaarrr!!!'

Suddenly, Ethan jumps forward. Hit the ground at Lucius' place with both hands.

Although Ethan's strength is much greater than Lucius' current strength, his large body is an obstacle to himself.

With such a thick iron lining his body, Ethan's speed really slowed down a lot.

'Even so, how do I break through his defenses?' thought Lucius in his heart while continuing to dodge the slow blow from Ethan.

"Stop running and face me like a man!" ethan cried out in annoyance that none of his attacks had hit Lucius' body.

"Well! That so? It would be wise for me to wait for you to get exhausted. I can keep going on this for hours, you know?" lucius replied with a light laugh.

Although, it was not a victory that Lucius wanted.

Because that's it....

'*I hope I don't overdo it if I have to use i*tu.' Lucius thought in his heart. He began to change his horses drastically, with both hands clasping his sword tightly.

He drew his sword back on the left side of his body. His position was clearly going to use the sword not for slashes, but for a puncture.

Although Ethan is not a swordsman though, he can realize it easily.

"Useful trick!" ethan immediately fired hundreds of stone bullets.

Lucius ran as fast as he could dodging the entire barrage of stone bullets. If he was hit by just one, maybe he would suffer a pretty bad injury considering his speed.

'So he's getting serious too? It doesn't matter.' thought Lucius as he continued to run around Ethan's body.

'Babeekkk!!!'

Occasionally, Lucius thrust his sword into Ethan's chest. But just like before, his blunt iron sword was completely incapable of harming Ethan's iron body.

'Swuuusshhh!!!'

Quickly, Ethan attempts to capture Lucius who is currently quite close to him. But his efforts failed because Lucius was much more agile compared to him.

The spectators who saw this battle situation were extremely astonished.

Especially for Lucius who was able to rival the representatives of the Student Council even though he did not use magic.

"How can that F-class kid...."

"Without using magic he said?"

"Is it possible because he can't use magic?"

"Stupid, he had a few months ago managed to defeat William of Class B easily! You think he can't use magic?"

"Then how do you explain this situation?"

The debate among the audience could be heard clearly to the ears of Lucius' classmates.

"Come, Max. You know something, right? Tell me if Lucius can win?" ask Alex to worry.

Max seemed to be silent. His face looked a little disappointed over this fight. It was as if the result was not at all as expected.

"But won't Lucius lose anything even if he loses, right? I mean, he's even invited to join the Student Council if he loses, right?" sophia asked who was worried too.

"Lucius.... Don't like the thing that's holding her back." replies Emily in a soft voice.

Anything that curbs itself to be able to do what he likes, or wants....

It was the thing Lucius hated the most.

"But that Lucius, why didn't he use his magic? Given his ability, Lucius should easily defeat such an opponent right?" asked Oliver in a relaxed manner.

No one can answer that question. No one knows for sure, including Alex himself.

But suddenly....

"Oi Lucius is stupid!!! Why are you holding yourself back?! Show me what you've trained at my place!!!" max shouted very loudly.

All the spectators in the Arena were shocked instead of playing. Not just because I heard a loud scream.

But also the words uttered by Max.

With a faint smile, Lucius replied.

"Are you going to be responsible if this guy dies?"

Despite realizing that it was just a bluff, Ethan is still scared. How not?

Lucius' current standing position changed completely. His aura alone looked much different from what he had shown before.

Lucius pulled the blunt sword back, while his right leg was ready to jump as far and as fast as possible.

'Grit? Definitely snapping! His attacks all this time no one could hurt me! There's no need to be afraid! After he approached....'

'Blaaaaarrr!!!'

Lucius's leg struck a powerful shockwave. In an instant, He was right in front of Ethan.

'Trakk! Ttrak!! Ttra!!'kk!!!'

Three very quick punches hit right in the middle of Ethan's chest, in the exact same spot.

Although it did not give any serious injuries, the three sword thrusts were able to slightly crack Ethan's iron skin.

'Swuuushh!'

Ethan attempts to capture Lucius once more, for what number of times. And this time, Lucius didn't just dodge.

He threw his sword to the side, lowered his own position and quickly twisted his body using both hands as a pedestal.

While both of his legs were grabbing Ethan's hard leg.

'Swuuushh!!!'

Before Ethan could fall to the ground, Lucius again turned his body once more quickly before giving a kick with both feet.

'Blaaaaarr!!!'

Lucius' powerful kick caused Ethan's body to be thrown a few feet above the air.

Without waiting any longer, Lucius immediately got up and grabbed his dull sword back. Preparing his horses for the stab attack just now.

But this time the horses were a little different because the opponent was in the air.

In a hovering position and slowly falling back to the ground, there was no hope for Ethan to dodge.

'He'll be aiming for my chest like before! That's why he cracked it first!'

Quickly, Ethan immediately crossed his arms to resist Lucius's attack.

But....

Lucius only smiled faintly seeing that.

"Formless Sword Technique, puncture" Lucius said in a soft voice.

At that time, all ordinary spectators would call Lucius because he eventually used magic.

It was all due to the extremely strong wind pressure gathered around Lucius' sword, as well as around his body.

But for Alora as well as Luna who has magic eyes, both of them know for sure.

'You said all this without using any Mana?!'

That sentence flashed through the minds of Alora as well as Luna.

Lucius who had refined his position, immediately drew out his sword with all his might. Both of his legs became a very strong pedestal when both of his arms tried to penetrate Ethan's Iron Skin.

Using Ethan's fallen position to the ground, as well as Lucius's upward thrust, his power multiplied.

'ZRAAAAASSSHHH!!!'

Like piercing the flesh of his game, Lucius' blunt sword pierced Ethan's iron body through his stomach.

Blood began to flow slowly from Ethan's body which was still being raised by Lucius' blunt sword.

"Amuugghhh!!!" ethan shouted in pain.

Due to its broken focus, it made the magic effect of Iron skin fade away slowly after being pierced by the attack just now.

"It's naive to defend my chest because I kept attacking him from now on? I didn't expect such a simple trick to work for you, vice-chairman." said Lucius with a wide smile.

'So all those attacks aimed at my chest, just a trick? To make me defend it and attack the other parts?!'

Ethan's gaze slowly began to darken before finally losing his consciousness in the middle of this Arena.

Lucius is the winner.

"Stupid, if I strike your chest, you'll be completely dead." Lucius retorted to the unconscious Ethan.

But....

"Boooooooooo!!!"

"Yuuuuuu!!!"

"Wimp!!!"

"Don't you say you won't use magic?!"

"What the fuck?! You just used magic to strengthen your attack right?!"

"You're just a loser who can't keep his word!"

Hearing all the insults, Lucius simply walked leisurely away from the Arena. The smile on his face never faded, as if he did not care anymore about the words of others.

What he cares about is two.

Slowly, Lucius stared right at Luna as well as Alora in the distance.

Giving a light laugh to both of them. Assume that both of them are aware of what really happened just now.

Before his figure disappeared behind the walls of that Arena.

"Miss Alora.... Just now.." said Luna with a trembling body as she walked closer to the figure of the witch hero.

"Mistake no mistake, the sword technique. Moreover, the technique was at a very high level." Alora replied as she clenched her hands together in annoyance.

"A-you sure?"

"of course. How many years do you think I've been working with that old fucking jackass?"

"Tu-Tua Bangka? Even so he is a sword hero and...."

"Excuse me. I have business." reply Alora briefly before leaving this place immediately.

Intending to meet Lucius in person, he took him to meet Mary the Holy Girl.
