The Demon Swordsman
CHAPTER 7

A beautiful woman was treating Dean on the grass, rather he reabsorbed the poison he gave Dean's body.

"Ughhhh." - Dean.

"What are you doing ?! Why does Dean look in pain?." asked Eldrian to the girl.

"Relax sir, I won't hurt her again, she'll be completely healed soon." replied the girl.

Eldrian tried to believe what the girl said.

Not long before Dean really recovered, while the girl was spewing blood from her mouth.

The wounds he had earlier were quite severe, plus he was also attacked by Eldrian earlier.

"Are you okay?" asked Eldrian to the girl.

"I'm fine Sir, please forgive me." Please forgive the girl.

"Dean quickly treat this female demon, after all he has also healed you" said Eldrian.

Dean nodded, even though he had hurt her, but the girl also saved his life.

Dean cast a spell and pointed his hand at the demon's shoulder.

The girl now smiled happily because the wounds she had earlier healed.

"Your wound is pretty bad, even though you're fine now you still have a lot of rest and don't get hurt again" Dean explained.

Eldrian himself apologized to the wolf demon for causing him more injuries.

"Hera, my name is Hera" said the woman with a smile that was engraved on her lips.

"Dean."

"Eldrian."

Previously Hera did not pay much attention to the clothes worn by Eldrian and Dean.

"You're Philia's academy students ? You exterminators of the devil?!" said the woman named Hera.

Now he is again terrified after learning that Eldrian and Dean are from the Philia academy.

"Calm down, we're not gonna hurt you" Eldrian said.

Hera continued to walk backwards, she still could not believe what Eldrian had said.

How could they not kill him ? The two of them were students of the Philia academy, they would become magicians and demon exterminating knights.

Moreover, he saw with his own two eyes the prowess of Eldrian.

"Don't hurt me" Hera said in a trembling voice.

"We're really not going to hurt you Miss Hera" Dean said.

Eldrian tried to convince Hera that they would not hurt her.

After trying for quite a long time, Hera finally believed the words of the two of them.

"W-how can you guys.." Hera had not finished her words, Eldrian immediately interrupted her.

"Miss Hera how did you get hurt and get to the academy region of Philia?" asked Eldrian.

Hera became saddened to hear Eldrian's question, he lowered his head, before long he cried in front of the two men.

"Huwaaaaa..hikss....hikss" he sobbed.

"Don't cry, how can Dean and I know you're crying like that" Eldrian said.

Eldrian took out a handkerchief from his pocket.

He wiped away Hera's tears, "Calm down."

Hera finally calmed down, telling Eldrian and Dean what hurt him when he was not a low-level demon.

"You are Philia's academy student surely know that not if a demon can raise his level by killing his fellow man or killing humans ? 3 Days ago I was hunting demons in the Cinda forest unfortunately I did not get much hunting. But all of a sudden I smell the scent of a human coming, of course I must be interested in it?" Hera said.

"When I was about to approach my hunt, there was a man attacking me, I never saw a human with such extraordinary powers. Her strength was incomparable to mine, I ran away with all my might, it seemed that the girl was also her weakness, so she let go of me because I attacked the girl with an evil aura." explained Hera.

"Then how did you get here ? Cinda Forest and Philia academy are very far away." asked the curious Dean.

Dean seemed to be wondering why the great man stopped chasing him.

"He must have stopped pursuing Hera knowing that this was Philia's academy district, he must have thought that we would definitely kill him" Eldrian said.

"It's exactly what you said El" Dean said.

Eldrian was silent, he thought of the words of Hera, a man of extraordinary strength ?.

Is he one of the students from the other academies who will participate at the holy banquet later ?.

"Master!!!." cried Halyna who was standing not far from them.

Halyna ran quickly to where the three of them were.

He saw Hera sharply, he also hissed in front of her.

"Look Halyna, she's our new friend" Dean said.

"Is it really Mister?" asked Halyna, looking at Eldrian.

Eldrian smiled and nodded as well.

"Come to Halyna" said Dean, then pulled Halyna to stand next to him.

"Is this demon your friend?" asked Hera, looking back at Halyna.

"I am Mr. Eldrian's servant." replied Halyna in a faint tone.

Hera smiled, the demon in front of her is very brave.

"Master I'm ready, when are we going to go to the Elvern academy?" asked Halyna excitedly.

Dean chuckles at her, Halyna is adorable.

"We'll leave tomorrow, be patient for a while" Eldrian said.

"You're going to the holy banquet?" asked Hera.

"Yes." replied Eldrian.

"Be careful, the man who attacked me was great" Hera said.

"Nobody is better than my Master" said Halyna.

Hera again smiled at Halyna's reply.

Before long Eldrian said goodbye to Hera, his task to help Hera was finished.

"Hera.we three will go first, take care of yourself" said Eldrian.

"See you, Hera, well.ayo Halyna we're having fun" Dean said and pulled Halyna.

"B-but Mister.." cried Halyna who was being pulled by Dean.

Eldrian just smiled to see it, he also walked following the two of them who were running quite fast.

"Eldrian." call Hera.

Eldrian turned his back, looking at Hera who had just called him.

"Thank you, I'm a demon who knows how to return and always keeps my word, you've forgiven me and saved me" Hera said.

"Then?" asked Eldrian.

"Can I follow you to the holy banquet ? I'm not going to cause any trouble, I'm going to protect you and Dean" Hera said.

Eldrian smiled, "No need, me and Dean to help you don't expect anything back."

"B-but I have to keep my promise." said Hera.

"Then promise me you'll get stronger, Hera, don't kill innocent humans and demons" Eldrian said.

Eldrian left Hera silent.

"You are so captivating Eldrian, it is fitting that the little Iblia be so amazed at you." murmured Hera who was still amazed by Eldrian.
