The Demon Queen's Disciple
Chapter 92 - Request

"You may return now, Lucius" said Mary kindly.

Alora is also seen creating a portal outside this room. Waiting for Lucius to walk into it and return to the academy.

But....

"Before that, can I ask you one more thing?" lucius asked briefly.

Alora looked a little upset at Lucius' attitude towards Mary. Assume that he does not respect Mary in the least.

From behind the curtain, Mary's shadow was seen raising her hand. Asking Alora to hold back her emotions.

"No problem. What do you want to ask?"

Although Lucius was a little hesitant to ask him right in front of Alora, but he had to know the answer right now.

"How did you find out about him?" lucius asked briefly while bowing his head in fear.

"about her? Who you mean?" ask Alora who is curious. But Lucius remained silent, with no intention of answering.

While Mary herself knew exactly who the boy was asking for.

"The goddess Lunaria told me. But the Goddess said, 'There is nothing to worry about from him. Also from you.' That's why I'm begging you, Alora.

Let Lucius live his life normally. Because I could only see the pain in his life for a year ago. And also, it is likely that Lucius will be the key to the safety of this kingdom in the day that darkness will rise."

Mary's long and wide explanation made Lucius' eyes wide open. He really didn't want to believe any of that. But all his words were always on target.

It was as if Mary could really see what had, was and would happen to someone.

Even though the cost of that power is very expensive.

"I understand." retorted Alora who immediately went back to her knees and bowed her head before Mary.

"Thank you...."

Just that one word could be thought of by Lucius at this moment. Looking at the entire accusation against him from the Church has really been cleaned up just like that.

Even though Lucius could no longer see Mary's face covered with the curtain, he was sure. That even now Mary still continues to smile warmly even though her body has just been seriously injured.

'A person filled with kindness and warmth.... Is this the Holy Girl, Mary? The figure chosen by Goddess Lunaria as her intermediary directly against this world?' lucius thought in his heart.

After seeing all this, Lucius instantly understood why Alora was so respectful towards him.

Not because of its higher position or closer to Goddess Lunaria alone.

But because Mary was the only human being who could be considered truly holy. His words and actions were always filled with kindness and warmth.

No matter how much she sacrificed, Mary kept her smile. And all of that was not for him at all.

Except for the human race itself.

"Really, thank you." said Lucius once again, now prostrating to Mary who was behind the curtain.

.............

'Swuuushh!!!'

After passing through the portal, Lucius returned to his former place. It was in the waiting room of the Academy Arena.

"Sorry, I have doubted you" said Alora, who dared not look into Lucius' eyes.

"No problem. If I were in your position, maybe I would have done the same." Lucius replied.

Alora is seen opening a small portal, grabbing something from it using her right hand.

After a while....

"For you. If Goddess Lunaria foresees that you will be the key to the safety of this kingdom, you need greater strength right." said Alora as she gave a thick book with a beautiful white and gold cover.

"What's this?"

Alora looked silent for a while before answering him.

"All of my research on Light magic. Well, I know you won't be able to use it without the blessing of Goddess Lunaria. But maybe someday.... You will be chosen as a hero. Either replacing me, or the sword hero." explained Alora with a friendly smile.

Learn various techniques from light magic before obtaining blessings from the Goddess. This information is of course very valuable to Lucius.

But....

'Can I really be chosen as a hero?'

That was the sentence Lucius questioned as he grabbed the book.

"Why?" ask Alora curious.

"No. I'm just not sure I can be chosen as a hero." Lucius replied with a slightly moody face.

If he spent a lot of time studying magic that he could not even use, then wouldn't the time he used be a waste?

'Srruugg!!!'

Alora was seen stroking the soft black hair of Lucius which began to be rather long.

"Even if you're not chosen, you can at least help the next hero learn, right?"

"Well.... So anyway. Yeah, that's right."

After handing over the book, Alora bade Lucius farewell. He opened a new portal in front of him.

"Hero really busy huh?" ask Lucius as a pleasantry.

But from that pleasantry question, Alora's face instantly changed drastically. It was as if Lucius was asking something that should not be asked.

"The news is that the Barbarian movement in the North is very strange. I intend to check it out. Well, this was supposed to be the job of the sword hero but he was old and refused to die quickly." Alora complained before leaving Lucius alone.

"Eh? Barbarian Movement?"

............

Meanwhile in the North

Inside one of these large Barbarian houses....

"Karkath! Why are you subjecting to humans?!" shouted one of the barbarians with a black stripe tattoo on his face.

He is seen directing his broken greatsword in various parts of it to the front. Precisely at a girl sitting on the chair of the chieftain leisurely.

"Rovreth! Look Karkath!" said another barbarian beside her while pointing towards the Barbarian named Karkath.

Karkath has a large body with a height of 2.1 meters. His burly body was adorned with black stripes tattooed almost all over his body.

In his right hand, Karkath appears to be carrying a large iron mace.

But....

Barbarian who used to be the chieftain in this place, now looks completely devoid of the aura of life.

His eyes were empty like a puppet that obeyed the will of its owner.

"just free. Karkath is my best toy right now." said the girl casually as she read a book.

"You! Lowly man!!!"

'Blaaaaarrrr!!!'

Without even raising his finger, Karkath immediately repulsed the Barbarian who was about to attack the girl.

"Karkath! Are you crazy?! What do you think the Great Khan will do after seeing this behavior of yours?!" another Barbarian shouted.

Once again, Karkath simply fell silent without taking out a word. His gaze also still looked as if he had no life in it.

Even so Karkath was able to walk backwards and back to protect the girl from her left side.

"I told you, right? If you're being nice, I might consider absorbing your entire life in this thing. If not, I will use you as test material. At least that's what my teacher taught me." said the girl.

He took out Essence Bane using space magic in his left hand. His right hand placed the book he was reading slowly on the table.

Before preparing to use his flagship wind magic.

"I-I've heard the wind about her figure!" said one of the Barbarians in panic.

"What did you say?!"

"The long black-haired girl who carried a strange magic item in her left hand.... No more wrong! He's his repeater...."

'Zraaat!!!'

Not having time to finish her words, the girl immediately split the Barbarian's body in half just now using her wind sword magic.

'Deg! The deg!!'

Instinctively, all the remaining Barbarians in this room began to feel an overwhelming sense of fear. Making them subconsciously kneel down over his helplessness facing the mysterious girl.

"Hmm? Now sorry? I'm sorry, but my teacher told me not to give criminals a second chance. Because that's what...."

'No!!!'

The girl snapped her fingers quite hard. Shortly after, dozens of Barbarians who had previously hidden behind the room were now lined up neatly.

Surround the main hall of this mansion so that no one would escape.

All of them had the same blank eyes as Karkath. Except one.

"Miss Aurellia, what should we do to them?" ask a half-dragon or Dragonnewt man while fixing his glasses.

He has a body similar to that of an adult male in general. Only on the head there are a pair of reddish-colored horns.

Then some of his hands and feet appeared to have thick red scales. Coupled with a pair of wings and a dragon tail that was quite on the back of his body, also with a dark red color.

"Eldrath, use them as testing materials for mind control magic enhancement. If it's just this far, there's no point in the future." Aurellia replied while pointing at Karkath.

"Happy, Miss Aurellia." Eldrath replied with a wide smile on her face.
