Then another feather appeared, and Varakiel handed it over to Luka.

Lucifina then looked at Varakiel with puppy eyes and Varakiel noticed it.
Varakiel:... fine here is it.

Lucifina:fufu thank you dear, I love you.
Lucifina then drank from it and like Luka with sparkling eyes.
Lucifina:ohhh soo sweet thank you darling!!.
Varakiel:jeje like mother like son.
Then several feathers fell down on Varakiel, Varakiel then looked up.
Varakiel:..... fine here is one for you too ilias.
Then Varakiel holded up the box on his palm up to the ceiling.
The milk box then dissappeared.
Varakiel:....
Varakiel then waitied for a bit.
Then two feathers tangled to form a heart appaered near Varakiel.
Varakiel:....jeje so childish but cute.
Varakiel said while looking at the ceiling, smiling.
Afterwards Lucifina got up from the bed.
Lucifina:ayaaa finally I can get up from the bed.
Luka:ahh mom is finally ok!.
Varakiel:good it seems the panacea worked perfectly, now lets go to the kitchen I will give both of you an special treat as a apologize for making you go through that.
Then they got down to the kitchen.
Varakiel:(lets see ummm, oh right is that today! , a cake would do then!.)
Varakiel:sit down both of you I will do this myself, wait for it with high expectations.
Luka:okay big brother
Lucifina:okay dear.
Then both of them waited for Varakiel special treat
Varakiel after 1 hour baking the cake
Varakiel:okay now lets wait for another 30 minutes until its done(lily set a timer in case I forget).
Lily:(roger.)
Varakiel then sat on a chair of the table together with Luka and Lucifina.
Varakiel:my special treat will be over in 30 minutes lets talk while we wait.
Luka:ohhh what is big brother doing tell us.
Varakiel:thats a secret Luka wait for it, okay?.
Luka:fine.
Lucifina:fufu little Luka not spoil the fun ealier you can wait.
Luka:okay mom I will wait.
Varakiel:so how you two have been while I was not here.
Luka:well mom was mostly in bed , while I was going to the medic shop begging him to treat her.
Varakiel:I see...I forgot about that medic completely....ilias if you are hearing me, can you please give punishement to that bastard? How he dares to neglect his duty has a medic, kill him if you want I not care for people like that.
Surprised Luka said to Varakiel
Luka:big brother?!wait.
Varakiel:don't Luka, people like them should be punished by their acts no mattter who are they, what I did to ilias was a punishement for her crimes, but at the same time I gave her another chance because she deserves it, as for him neglecting his duties as medic is a big sin than should be punished, getting out alive would be his trial, and for the others than ignored you, it depends on ilias judge.
Luka:b-but grandma ilias would not exagerate right?.
Varakiel:at most she will not exterminate everyone in the village only those who didn't helped Lucifina and you.
Luka:b-but....
Varakiel:I know you want to be a hero Luka, but you have to understand, not everyone deserve to be saved even more if they hate you, I can save them yes but that doesn't mean I want to, Luka being strong means protect and fight for what you believe being weak gives you nothing, so become strong so you can protect anything you believe.
Luka:but this is really okay?.
Varakiel: being good doesn't mean you have to be nice to everyone Luka you can still hate someone when being a hero, you didn't hate your father before?even though you want to become a hero you hated someone.
Luka:o-okay I get it...then I will become, strong I will defeat the demon lord and get coexistence between monsters and humans.
Varakiel:I believe I can't let you do that little Luka jaja.
Luka:what, why?!.
Varakiel:who told you'll go alone? I am going with you.
Luka:ehhhh, really you will come with me big brother?!.
Varakiel:of course I will if you are left alone you will be tricked by someone and you would probably get scammed or something , and beside you actually were expecting for me to go with you insn't.
Luka:hey I am not that naive!.
Lucifina:fufu dear you are actually very naive after all you believe on everything your big brother tells you, is not a bad thing though.
Luka:...fine I admit it, big brother ¿can you please come with me on my journey to bring coexistence between humans and monsters?
Varakiel:hehe of course I would after all I wish the same thing.
Lucifina:fufu ¿what about me then, you two would leave me alone here?.
Varakiel:right, .... ¿what about going to live with Micaela, Lucifina?.
Lucifina:... are you sure I am ready to meet her face to face?.
Varakiel:Lucifina, Micaela misses you a lot, I believe its time to stop hiding and recover the bond with your sister.
Lucifina:¿are you sure she would forgive me after running away without asking her to come with me?.
Varakiel:yes, she loves you, after all she let you go away even when she was following ilias orders.
Lucifina:okay I believe you and deep inside me I know I want to meet her again.
Varakiel:she wants to meet you too, after all she smiled when I told her the letter was yours.
Lucifina:she did?...ok I will go to live with her.
Varakiel:ok then we will leave 11 month later.
Luka:why not now big brother?
Varakiel: dummy, ilias would probably would punish the citizens with the same disease as your mother, if we leave now they would think we are the culprits of spreading it, and by that probably we would be wanted in any human village.
Luka:ohhh I see, big brother thinks about everything!.
Lucifina:as always you are caring about us.
Varakiel:of course, I would never make people mark you as criminals for my selfishness, besides is 11 months left until ilias descend to choice heroes you forget that Luka?
Luka:ahhh you're right.
Lucifina:Luka you need to remember better those things, after all when ilias choice her heroes is her birthday too.
Luka:ehh it was her birthday too? Then I will prepare a gift when we leave.
After another 30 minutes the cake must be ready.
Varakiel:ummm oh it seems is almost done wait here.
Luka:I wonder what is it.
Lucifina:I do too.
Varakiel then add the decorations to the cake and write happy birthday Luka on it (I decided to set Luka birthday like this after all is never mentioned in the game.)and then he got to the table and started singing a birthday song.
Luka:....
Lucifina:....
Varakiel:happy birthday Luka I hope you like it.
Luka:I-I-I like it very much big brother thank you!!!.
Lucifina:jeje happy birthday Luka.
Varakiel:now blow the candles and make a wish.
Luka:okay!.
Then Luka blows up the birthday cake candles.
Varakiel:hehe what do you wish for Luka?.
Luka:I wished for coexistence between humans and monsters!.
Lucifina:fufu what a waste of a wish Luka.
Luka:what why mom?!.
Varakiel:your mom is right Luka, there is not need to wish for it we will do it ourselves together.
Luka:OHH!! I see!, Can I change my wish ?.
Varakiel:"pfff" of course you can't, wait for the next year.
Luka:awwww ... okay.
Varakiel:now cut the first slice.
Then Luka cut the first slice of the cake, and then they Lucifina served herself and Varakiel.
Varakiel:thank you Lucifina.
Lucifina:is nothing dear.
Before the 2 of them could taste it Luka said.
Luka:wait not eat yet.
Lucifina and Varakiel:?
Luka then got to the kitchen and got another plate and served another slice on it and he lift it up to the ceiling and said.
Luka:grandma ilias this one is for you.
The plate with the cake suddenly disappered.
Varakiel:jajaja aren't you cute Luka you didn't forget about ilias.
Lucifina:of course he is cute, he is my son after all.
Lucifina said proudly.
Then the night arrived while Lucifina's, Varakiel and Luka enjoyed their family life.
Meanwhile in heaven.
Ilias:my my the boy is funny actually giving me such a lowly offearing.
Ilias then took another bite of the cake.
Ilias:*munch* Delicious!.
Ilias said with a smile.
???:hoho the great ilias smiling? That something rare now.
A voice came behind ilias.
Ilias:what do you want black Alice.?
Black Alice:is nothing I just came to borrow your angel promestein.
Ilias:take her and leave I am in a good mood, not ruin it with your presence.
Ilias said menancingly.
Black Alice:ohh scaryyyy jajaja, fine I will leave.
Then black Alice left ilias temple on the top of heaven and got where promestein usually is, her laboratory
Black Alice:promestein where are you!!?
Black Alice said in a playfully and sinister manner.
Promestein:black Alice?what do you want?.
Black Alice:hehe is nothing I just came to talk about certain things.
Promestein:then speak I am busy right now.
Black Alice and promestein then talked about their plans to deal with ilias and get the power of the dark goddess
black Alice: fufu so you have a way to get the dark god powers?
Promestein:I am very close to get them I am developing a drug to implement Alice I genes on a monster the problem is only someone very close to Alice I can resist the mutations.
Black Alice:fufu incredible so what do you need to complete it.
Promestein:I just need more time and get samples of ancient monsters to complete it.
Black Alice:alright I will get them.
Then black Alice teleported out of heaven.
???:are you sure is safe to work with her?.
Promestein:of course after all both of us have the same objective, la croix.
La croix:hump I hope you are right in your judge, I not like working with such a vicious and terryfing monster.
Promestein:rest assured I least I know we can trust her in this matter.
La croix:fine I will not talk about it more.
Promestein:how's going the matter about Alicepheese XV corpse.
La Croix:is going great the problem is the energy source we need a lot of human males for her to work.
Promestein:thats soon would't be a problem.
La Croix:... I understand, then that would be all, I will take my leave.
Promestein:of course.
Then when la croix left, promestein looked at the case on her desk.
Promestein:all for the truth.
Back at ilias village on Luka house it has been 11 months since Varakiel helped ilias to regain her sanity and become her trustworthy person.
On the courtyard Varakiel and Luka are training together, it's very early in the morning, like 5am.
Varakiel:still too much useless moves Luka you need to strike fast and be precise, your foe would't wait for you to regain your posture.
Luka: I understand big brother I am going again.
Luka then tries to hit Varakiel with all he got.
Varakiel:yet useless moves Luka not do flashy moves strike to kill!!.
Luka:JIAA!
Luka then give everything he got on, trying to follow Varakiel orders strikes with everything he got.
Varakiel:Thats it Luka keep going, a sword is not only a tool to protect what you believe for but at the same time a companion to fight those who tries to take away everything you care for , you will fight them together with everything you got everytime no matter what, until you win, you will not take a rest.
Luka:Yes big brother I will never give up!, I will stand up again and again until I win!.
Varakiel:great answer, Then COME!.
Luka:HAAAA!.
Then Luka fighted Varakiel until the evening not caring about his wounds and pain, then he fell of the floor.
Varakiel:well done Luka , always remember no matter what anyone can be the strong if he believes, works hard and wish for it, he can become the strongest.
Then Varakiel sat besides Luka.
After 5 minutes of rest Varakiel speak.

Lucifina:oh my, I thought that blade was hidden forever, are you sure its safe to give it to Luka?.
Varakiel:of course if he doesn't use it with his angel powers it would be completely safe.
Lucifina:but what if he gets consumed by it?

Lucifina:I know, yet thank you for everything.
Then the two of them had a passionate kiss.
Lucifina:lets go to bed, tomorrow is a great day after all.
Varakiel:yeah.
Then Lucifina and Varakiel got to their bedroom at slept together.
Then the fated day arrived, the day Luka would start his journey Varakiel alongside.
On Luka's dream.

Varakiel showed an smile.
Luka:what?!how can there be a monster near ilias village even more with ilias temple nearby.

Then the two of them rushed past betty.
On the road to the forest outside ilias village.
Varakiel:lets see it should be around here.

The slime girl then jiggled again.

Varakiel:(she is here, and ouch that sound like very hard crash).
Luka:what was that?! It came from there lets take a look big brother!.

Luka then rushed to the source of the sound.
Behind bushes in a plain circle, there was a beautiful lamia lying unconscious, looking around Luka noticed than she fell... somehow.
Luka:er...ms. Monster are you alive?
She was lying there, unmoving, the ground was dented and the trees destroyed.
Luka:what the hell happend to her?.

Luka:but big brother we don't have much time the baptism will end.
Varakiel:fine, first lets check out if she is alive.
Varakiel then got near the lamia girl and tried to check her life pulses.
Suddenly the lamia girl open up her eyes.
Lamia girl:...
Varakiel then noticed she has open her eyes.
Varakiel:.....oh hello.
The lamia girl then looks at Varakiel intently, and quickly jumps up.
Lamia:where am I?
The lamia girl asked bluntly at Varakiel while looking at his face.
Luka besides Varakiel was confused
Luka:eh.....?
Varakiel:...
Lamia:I said, "where am I?".
Varakiel:you know people tent to ask to strangers in a more soft manner you know?
Lamia:.....

Lamia:I'll ask you again:where am I?
Varakiel:now you are being rude miss monster, no one use hipnosis magic when meeting strangers you know?
Even though Varakiel is inmune to mental damage, Luka is not.
Luka:cl...close to ilias village.
Varakiel:ah, I forget about you Luka my bad.
The lamia girl then started to be wary of Varakiel while she listen to Luka's answer.
Luka:what the ahhh.
Lamia:I was blow to such a place...that damn girl....what crazy strength
Luka:girl?
Lamia:anyway, both of you who you are?
Luka:I am the hero apprentice Luka, from the nearby illias village, and this is my big brother Varakiel he is a great adventurer.
Varakiel:and yet you not have give your name little one, but nice to meet you I am Varakiel.
Luka responded truthfully while presenting Varakiel figuring out what Varakiel is trying to do.
Lamia:a hero apprentice... so you haven't been baptized yet? You and him smell pretty delicious.
The lamia girl licks her lips with a smack, Luka got a shiver on his spine as for Varakiel well...he continues his stranger meeting bit.
Varakiel:cool. now you are seducing us ,great, can we at least know your name.
Luka then remembers what they were doing
Luka:big brother stop already the baptism, I have to get back before it ends!.
Varakiel:right then we will leave miss monster.
Lamia girl:stop!
Suddenly the tail of the lamia girl coils around Luka, he is forced to look at him again.
Varakiel:and yet you keep ignoring me you know miss monster who name I still not know because you are impolite towards strangers who were worried about you.
Luka:emm big brother I need a bit of help here.
Lamia:I understand now, today is illias birthday, so you're trying to receive your baptism.
Luka:you are right so.... ummm you know can please let me go?
Lamia girl:ilias's baptism.... how foolish
Luka:....can you please let me go?
Lamia:....
still not letting Luka go the lamia girl asked.
Lamia:why you don't try to kill me when I was unconscious?
Varakiel:ok I will stop my jokes, I will call you lamia for now, Luka tell her why we don't kill her.
Luka:jeje thanks big brother, emmm well we don't kill you because well we don't hate you I guess?
Lamia:you lost a golden opportunity to kill a monster for someone aiming to be a hero...for that reason, foolish?
Luka:HEY! Not insult my reason for that my big brother teached me I will never use my blade against someone who doesn't deserve it.
Luka said angrily to the lamia girl.
Lamia:ho.... you don't see me as your enemy? A monster?
Luka:I don't, yeah there is people out there who do but not me.
Lamia:but you want to become a hero, someone who hates monsters as an enemy, why would you become a hero, whose goal is to kill the monster lord?.is for fame?ambition?or.....
Luka:none of that I not wish to be a killer. I aim for a true hero, I not hate monsters, and I not particularly hate the monster lord, after all I not know how he is yet so how I can judge it.
The lamia girl saw looked with a "what in the" face
Lamia girl:....What?
Luka:I don't want to kill monsters or even the monster lord, I want a world were humans and monster can coexist peacefully!, if the monster lord gets in the way, then.....I'll just have to defeat her...that what I swore to myself.
Varakiel:well said Luka jajaja.
Lamia:.....both of you are idiots.
Luka:eh?why we are idiots?!.
Varakiel:.....
Lamia:believing in an immature view of world peace, with everyone living in harmony with no issues...what is that but idiotic?
Varakiel:.....
Lamia:monster living hand in hand with humans? When are you going to wake up from your dreaming?
Luka:what do you know?!, you idiot!.
Varakiel:hehe jajaja
Varakiel suddenly laughed at the quarrel of those two.
Luka:eh big brother what is so funny?!she called us idiots!.
Varakiel:yes Luka we are idiots, believing everyone can live hand by hand with monsters is idiotic....
Luka:big brother why y-
Varakiel:but is not impossible thats why I am going with you, I will help you to turn your dream in a reality, your dream is idiotic, but is not impossible, foolish nor stupid, is idiotic because you will not be able to achieve it by yourself after all you need a monster than thinks the same as you.
Luka:b-big brother....thank you....like my big brother said miss monster yes my dream is idiotic but not impossible look how we achieve that dream soon.
Lamia girl:you still have the mind of a child just go little boy, with your precious illias.
Then the lamia girl freed Luka from her tail wrap.
Luka:j-just look how I will achieve my dream in the future if you say my dream is idiotic then if I achieve it everyone will be idiots as you said.
Luka then ran off without thinking, leaving Varakiel behind with the lamia girl.
Lamia girl:.....now tell me who the hell are you?
The lamia girl looked at Varakiel with hostility on her eyes
Varakiel:....hehe you have the same eyes like your mother, aliphesse fateburn the XVI.
Alice then charged at Varakiel to hit him but Varakiel evade easily.
Alice:how do you know who I am tell me, who your informant!.
Varakiel:hehe you fighted illias and now you want to fight someone else really the monster lords are something else.
Alice:Respond human!.
Alice again tried to use her hipnosis but yet again it failed.
Varakiel:really impolite Alice thats not how you should treat your friend jaja!.
Alice noticing Varakiel is not gonna retailate stoped trying to fight him.
Alice:speak what do you truly are looking for.
Varakiel:well I want to help my little brother to achieve his idiotic dream than coincidently seems to be the same as a certain impolite monster lord.
Alice:how do y--
Varakiel:but what I am looking for is to fix the mistake an old friend made in the past and fight against strong foes.
Alice:.....
Varakiel:tell me aliphesse fateburn XVI you regret killing the heroes who killed your mother isn't?
Alice:why you know that!.
Alice at least shows a look of anger at last, and charges at Varakiel, but Varakiel stands there this time not moving.
400! Damage to the host.
6750/7150.
Varakiel:weak! Is this what the 16th monster lord is only capable of?!
Alice then with anger keep hitting Varakiel, after 2 minutes.
5150/7150.
Alice:y-you are an strong human.
Varakiel:.....really thats all?your mother was even stronger!.
Alice:why?how?how you know my mother!.
Alice then said with anger mixed with sadness.
Varakiel then found a wooden log and sat on it.
Varakiel:come on, sit, and I will tell you.
Alice:...
Alice then after standing there for several minutes then sat down.
Varakiel:well then I will tell you why I know your mother, I received the memories of the hero marcellus, yes the same hero who killed your mother, and by those memories I can see than your mother was a rightfully ruler willing to give her life for his people, but I see it the other way she gave her life for the world to have coexistence.
Alice:yes, she was aiming for a greater good by letting the heroes to kill her, and just I...I...I-
Varakiel then suddenly said angrily
Varakiel:but she was wrong, truly wrong she was a fool for believing in coexistence with humans and monsters will come with her death, like she was the problem, she decided to become a martyr but no, that was truly wrong what comes from a sacrifice is only a temporal peace than will eventually break until another monster lord dies.
Alice:....But what else she could have done?....
Varakiel:is actually quite simple, actually you are actually doing it right now, talking.
Alice:....really thats all? Talking?
Alice said with a are you serious? Face
Varakiel:yes, peace has been a matter of talking with the other part, the so called peace on a fight is only a temporal truce. That's what your mother got, a temporary truce that was destroyed by those who saw convenience in it.
Alice:....then my mother death was useles-
Varakiel:don't dare end that word.
.Varakiel said seriously.
Alice:...
Varakiel:everything your mother did was not useless not one bit, but she made a bad decision on believing the monster lord was the problem she got only a truce but didn't know how to achieve true peace.
Alice:then tell me how I can achieve true peace then?.
Varakiel:you can't achieve true peace no one can....
Alice:...then what the poin-
Varakiel:alone
Alice:.....alone?
Varakiel:yeah no one can achieve true peace by himself, only by the culmination of people with the same dream one can achieve true peace, as a queen you should know that without your subjects you are only one powerful monster and thats all, you would be alone without someone sharing your ideals and hopes for your race.
Alice:people with the same dream?are you serious, this is the way?
Varakiel:it is, thats why I will help Luka, to achieve his idiotic dream of coexistence with humans and monsters I will lend him my strength when he most needs it, as for me i want to repair the mistake marcellus did by killing your mother before noticing her wish for coexistence, is the only thing I can do to give him true rest.
Alice:....tell me is really possible to gain coexistence between humans and monsters?.
Alice said looking at the floor
Varakiel:little Alice coexistence is being already gain after all, what we are doing right now?we are fighthing to the death to save our race?no, we are arguing who race is the best?no, we are talking like two equals with out caring about our differences?yes we do, thats coexistence, so not hide your face and look at the front your dream and his dream can become true without killing each other.
Alice then looked straight up at Varakiel face.
Alice:you believe that dream is really idiotic?.
Varakiel:yes it is, only a idiot would think of everyone happiness before theirs, only those who have that dream are a true hero, a good king, or as simple like a guy than is too bored and wish to change something for the better, now tell me Alice who do you think you, me and Luka are.
Alice who moved to the other side to not look at Varakiel said.
Alice:would you help me too?, to achieve this idiotic dream I have?.
Varakiel:of course I will if you really wish to.
Alice:everything you said is true?we can get coexistence by talking and not killing each other?is that truly possible?
Varakiel:of course it is just follow me and i will show you.
Alice:just don't expect than I will help you, or the boy to fight against monsters.
Varakiel:I am counting with that, then lets leave its getting late, lets go Alice, to achieve yours and Luka dream together.
Varakiel then extended his hand to Alice.
Alice then took it, and under her breath she said.
Alice:.....thank you
Varakiel then nodded to her.
Varakiel:lets go.
Then Alice and Varakiel got on their way to ilias village.
Varakiel:Alice can you hide your appearence for now there was huge mess because a slime girl was nearby trust me is annoying to hear all the people screams.
Alice:really only a slime girl to startle the most faintfull ilias followers I would like to see it myself too bad we are in a hurry.
Varakiel:yeah they pretty much never have left the village but who can blame them ilias commandments are engraved on their brains, just like some monsters see humans as toys or food.
Alice:I would't deny that, fine.
Alice then changed to a figure more human
High heels boots, and skirt than doesn't cover almost anything expect the good stuff, almost like the skirt the shirt barely covers anything showing her majestic figure her skin is on a fair color, and her hair is as long to her legs and white like snow with flowers coming from it.
Alice:is this good enough?.
Varakiel:I like the tail more but yeah it will work for you to pass.
Alice then slighty blush adverting her gaze from Varakiel
Alice:.....lets move then.
Alice then move foward, and Varakiel follows her
eventually they arrived at Luka's home
Varakiel then open up the door and let Alice inside and then he got in.
Varakiel:Lucifina I am back!
Lucifina then came from the kitchen to greet Varakiel, to her surprise a woman was besides Varakiel.
Lucifina with cold eyes said.
Lucifina:oh my Varakiel, you left for half a day and you got a women here already?what I am going to do with a bad child like you?.....oh.... hoooo I see what going on here oh my what a surprise to have the monster lord on our house.
Alice:.....who are you?
Varakiel:she is my wife Lucifina, the fallen angel but she wants to be know has the Lucifina the number one wife.
Alice as expect was really surprised.
Alice:ehhh?!the fallen angel know as the daystar?!
Lucifina:hehe dear I have already left that on my past now call me Lucifina the best wife!.
Varakiel:Lucifina hasn't Luka come back?
Lucifina:no
Varakiel:well we will just wait for him, come in Alice.
Alice:.....ok.
Lucifina:ara as always my husband doesn't stop to amaze me he already has the demon lord has his lover.
Alice:I am not his lover!.
Lucifina:yet hahaha!.
Lucifina said playfully.
Varakiel: Lucifina let the child at peace, I mean she knows about sex but not about the love part yet hahaha.
Lucifina: jajaja fine, I will leave her alone..... for now!.
Varakiel then got to the kitchen.
Varakiel:(to quickly win her trust and appreciation I will first conquer her stomach, all hail cooking)
Varakiel: Lucifina I will be cooking today please set the table for me, and make a space for Alice to fit in.
Lucifina:okay dear! What are you doing today, ehehe!
Lucifina was already drooling imagining what Varakiel would cook today.
Alice, noticing Lucifina drooling, expected it with great interest.
A bit later when dinner was ready.
Varakiel:here suit yourself
Varakiel then presented a mountain of food to Alice, and for Lucifina he made a special dish for her.
Lucifina:thank you dear.
Alice:.....hmph i just expect it taste better than it looks like,
Varakiel:you're welcome enjoy.
Alice then tried a bit of it
Alice showed an expression of awe and surprise, then she proceeded to devour all the food.
Alice:Delicious ♪ ~.
Lucifina: fufu, just like a child.
Varakiel:yes haha.
Then While Alice was eating, Luka came back home.
Luka:" sigh" I can't believe I was too late.
Varakiel:welcome back Luka
Lucifina:welcome back dear.
Luka:I am back.
Alice:you're slow
Luka:ahh, what are you doing here?!.
Alice:I was invited by him
Alice pointed at Varakiel.
Luka:agh fine, but how a monster like you could get in the village unnoticed.
Alice:" hump" is easy to trick humans….just who do you think I am?
Luka:I not even know your name, even to know who you are!
Varakiel:easy there luka don't start a fight, let me introduce her to you okay?
Luka:ugh.... fine, but i still i will not forgive her for calling big brother idiot!.
Varakiel:alright then, let me introduce her, her name is alice she is a monster travelling around the world, and alice this is luka, you can could say he is my little brother but at the same time my son.
Luka:"hump"
Alice:"hump"
luka and alice looked at each other and then looked away annoyed of.
Varakiel:not be like that you two, after all we will be together on this journey.
Luka:ehhhhh?! Why big brother, why is she is coming with us?!
Varakiel:calm down luka, you remember what i say before right? We need a monster so we can talk to monsters.
Luka:but....ahhh fine big brother.
Varakiel:jeje thats good.
Lucifina:fufu luka you are so easy to convince.
Alice:and he wants to get coexistence with that attitude? he is still dreaming.
And so everyone prepared to leave illias village.
Betty: are you sure about this you three?
Luka:not worry betty i will not let a monster touch my mother!.
Alice: you probably would't be able to deal with a single monster "hump"
Lucifina:calm down you two, we are leaving not make problems for varakiel alright?.
Luka and alice: .... fine. "hump"
while lucifina was reprimending luka and alice Varakiel told to betty.
Varakiel:not worry we will be safe.
Betty:fine please take care, and protect luka he is such a good boy is a shame he could't get baptizaded by illias.
Varakiel:then we are leaving please take good care of the village and don't let it go stray like in the past.
Betty:...we know, who would have though a plague would kill almost half of the town, we were lucky than sir korabiel was here to help us.
Yeah Varakiel used his identity as korabiel and heal the unrelated people by the plague and got g's from it as for the medic and the people making fun of luka on the clinic well they didn't deserve it.
Then the 4 of them left the village.
Betty:oh great illias...Please protect that family.
With this The journey of luka than originally had to be him and alice has a new addition than will change the future for the better of this world.
Luka:i still wonder why I couldn't get baptized.
Varakiel:who knows maybe illias was busy and couldn't come.
Varakiel said this while looking at alice, alice noticing varakiel gaze looked at him with a smile.
Alice:hmmm?what's wrong?
Varakiel:nothing jaja.
Luka:i really wanted to see Ilias in person, i waited for today for so long.... and i wasn't able to be baptized and could't see ilias in the end.
Alice:isn't it better to not have been baptized?i don't understand why humans want to be slaves to Ilias.
Luka:you don't understand, being a hero has a lot of perks. You get the respect of the people, cheap rates at inns, and you can even walk into people's houses and take stuff.
Alice:walk into people's houses and take things....? are heroes some sort of a sub-class thief or something?
Luka:Er, no... it's not quite like that.
While luka and alice were talking varakiel and lucifina were walking together behind.
Varakiel:see i told you they would get along together quickly.
Lucifina:it looks like that, who would said the demon king is a good talker.
Varakiel:lets enjoy the show for now jaja.
Back to luka and alice.
Luka: But most importantly, they receive divine protection from ilias. If you come across any evil monsters, she will defend you.
Alice:The semen of a baptized human tastes awful. So monsters aren't as likely to attack them.
Luka:ehh... Is that how it works?.
With V and L
Varakiel: thats actually how it works?
Lucifina:yeah what ilias does is cleanse any impurities from their bodies, and only her power remains inside them.
-
Alice:...you didn't know that? Baptized people taste like angel liver... not very appetizing.
Luka:....
-
Varakiel:....it really tastes that bad?
Lucifina:i don't think so maybe is because they are monsters i personaly haven't tasted it, but maybe you will make something great with it.
Varakiel:.....i see (sheesh she doesn't even hesitated when she asked me that, my cooking is really that good?)
Lily:(master cooking is at the pinnacle of all worlds even gods would't care if you serve them something as low like a rat they still will eat it if you cook it varakiel.)
Varakiel: (really? Good too know at least i will never eat bad tasting food unless someone with a really bad cooking skill wants me to eat some.) "(foreshadowing for waifus bad at cooking jajaja)."
--
Alice: That's why someone like you smells delicious.
Alice then licks her lips while she strares back at varakiel and then on luka.
Luka:(shiver)
Varakiel:jaja tell me lucifina i am that delicious?
Lucifina:of course dear you are a great treat fufu.
Alice: by the way, where are we going headed? Going directly for the monster lord's castle?.
Luka:well... we will end up there eventually.
Luka Then takes outs its map to explain alice were are they, lucifina and varakiel got near to hear luka explanation.
Luka:Right now we're a little bit north of ilias village...There are three continents in out world.First, in the south, is the continent called ilias.That's where we are right now. It's not too big.since the ilias temple is here, pilgrims always come here on their travels.However, they haven't been coming by as often recently...maybe there are circumstances? We don't really know. And in the middle here is sentora.Filling up 75% of the world's land, this continent is huge.there are four big castles, and many more towns and villages.
Then luka turn serious.
Luka:North of that is hellgondo, where the monster lord's castle is. The temperature there is extreme – an unsuitable place for humans, ever since the [slaughter of remina], humans have abandoned their settlements in this area.Now there aren't any humans left on this continent. So that sums up the three continents in the world.
Then luka saves up the map.
Luka: For now, we'll stay on this continent, North of here is the biggest city on this continent, iliasburg.
Farther north of that is the only port on this continent, iliasport, from there, we can take a ship to sentora.
Varakiel then clapped his hands
Varakiel:great job luka you sound almost like an experienced adventurer, an a good leader too.
Lucifina:well done luka. varakiel praised you sincerally, but not let that get over your head remember.
Luka:big brother thank you and mom i know i will not get too much confident.
Varakiel:thats good.
Alice looked at them with lonely eyes, varakiel noticing it could't do anything but gave her a smile,
alice noticing varakiel gaze turn to look at him and she only close her eyes.
Luka: then first of all, we should head to iliasburg and prepare. We'll need to stock up on equipment, tools, food and such.after that, we'll get a ship at iliaport to head to sentora.
If we keep up our current pace, we'll be there around this time tomorrow.
Alice:oh, come on. Iliasburg iliasport ilias village iliasiliasilias. What's with all the cheesy name.
Luka:why is everything that comes out of your mouth so horrible.
Alice:don't use that tone with me.
Varakiel:not forget about saint ilias jaja.
Alice:.... really now, another one?, anyway , more importantly, i'm hungry again.
Luka: didn't big brother gave you a ton of food a little while ago?we'll set up the camp once the sun goes down, so just hold out until then.
Alice:fine, but you better ask varakiel to cook tonight. i bet you can't cook as good as him, after all.
Luka:...actually your right on that big brother cooking is the best on the world.
The two at least agree equally than varakiel cooking his very good, thats a good start.
As they were walking suddenly...
A slug girl appears!.
Luka: what is that...?
slug girl:...travelers? Two of them not baptized, either. You look delicious.
Luka:....!
What should i do, guys? Ara?
Upon turning around....luka saw than alice, varakiel, and lucifina vanished!.
Luka:no way...they ran away!? Oooii...big brother, alice, mom!?
Slug girl: whom are you yelling at?
The slug girl slowly moved near luka.
Slug:you look delicious...while tasting my sticky mucus, i'll let you come over and over.
Luka:guh what do i do now, i not want to hurt her....looks like there is no option.
Luka attacks
*glup*
Luka:what...?
Luka's sword got stuck, stopping his attack.
The mucus covering her body is too sticky and elastic causing the sword to do nothing!.
Luka:ugh i used too little strengh on it...
slug:you can't cut me with such a weak attack...
Luka:damn...what should i do?
Luka is in a pinch if he uses too little strengh his attack would't go through and he is not sure if he will be able to attack her with the enough strength to not kill her.
Luka:right after the slime, another annoying enemy shows up...what should i do?
Slug:i'll cover your penis with my mucus
The slug pours her sticky mucus all over luka's groin! Luka's covered in mucus!
luka takes 3 damage!.
697/700
Luka:if a slash doesn't work...how about a stab!?
Luka again tries to attack the slug with too little strengh.
The slug girl takes no damage!.
It's useless....
Luka:i need to use more strengh i could probably pierce her...but....
Meanwhile on the side of the road.
Alice:are you sure, you want him to fight alone?
Varakiel:uhm, he needs to learn to fight by himself , but there is a problem already as you can see....he .... doesn't want to hurt the slug , but he doesn't know how much strength to use either.
Lucifina at varakiel right side was cheering for luka.
Lucifina:c'mon luka you can do it!, its just a weak slug you can defeat her!.
Alice:at this path he will end up losing you know?
Varakiel:ehhh i not think so just look.
Alice hearing the confidence varakiel has on luka looked back at his fight.
Luka:my attack will not work, i will need to hit her weak point!
Luka then got through his bag and took out the cooking salt.
Slug:th...that's!
Luka:take this!
Luka then throws salt at the slug!
Slug girl takes 13 dmg
slug:kyaa!
Luka:good this would work!
Slug:how dare you...i'll cover your penis with even more mucus....
the slug girl then poured her mucus all over luka's groin
luka takes 4 damage
671/700
Luka:ughhh i will have to wait to illiasburg for a bath.
Luka throws more salt at the slug.
Slug:stop it!
The slug starts to shake, shriveling away from luka.
Slug: I...I'll remember this!
Yelling back at luka, the slug starts to run away.
Luka got 10 XP
Luka is now level 3
Luka:i won! I won against a monster by myself, it was sloppy...but a victory is a victory!
Then varakiel alice and lucifina come out from where they where hiding.
Alice:why did you hold your strength too much, it's so horrible, it pains me to watch.
Luka:well the truth is hehe i been only trained by brother for 10 years, before i learned from pilgrims than came from the village....
Alice:3 years badly thaught ? And 10 with actual teaching no wonder you were so bad at it.
Luka:i can agree with you on that before big brother train me i learned from pilgrims who came to visit the temple. I tried to mix the different things into my own style...
Varakiel:and when i find out i reprimend him a lot, is totally worthless to try to mix different styles from a lot of people without mastering at least one, every single technique was truly bad.
Alice:crappy skills learned from crappy people will be crappy even if combined....Varakiel can i teach him a little?
Luka:it's alright, you don't need to...learning swordplay from a monster seem-
Varakiel:go ahead, just don't break his bones!
Luka:big brother?!
Alice:fufu then lets begin
then everyone set up a camp
for a few hours alice taught luka some techniques.
Alice:right there, you need to use your feet as you swing. Don't just use your arm strength when you swing your sword.
Luka:L...like this?
Alice:hm.not bad, it seems than the way varakiel train you let you made it easy.
Luka using that technique like that, he doesn't need to rely so much on brute strength, not too bad for someone small like him.
Luka learned [demon decapitation]
Varakiel observing the two of them stood up.
Luka:big brother what are you doing?.
Varakiel then pick up his sword and did everything alice told to luka.
*swifff*
in a flash the tree near varakiel was cut down in half.
Alice:impressive.
Meanwhile in varakiel mind.
Congratulations host learned [demon decapitation]
Demon decapitation : deals dmg 200% DMG MP:10 Lv.1(40)
[can evolve if the conditions are met]
jump at the enemy, and slash at their neck.
An easy technique than complements small stature users.
Varakiel then nodded and sat down again
Luka:wow big brother that was the same technique alice taugh me.
Varakiel:yeah but i am not small like you anymore so there no more use to it besides knowing it for teaching someone later.
Alice:indeed [demon decapitation]...This is the best technique for someone small like you.a small body is good for when you charge in, and cut the enemy's neck.It's said that the dark elf zack was able to cut off the heads of 100 humans using that move.
Luka:err... i was hoping to learn a more...hero-like technique.
Alice:beggars can't be choosers.
Luka:that's...true. But my image as a hero...
Alice:shut up. We're practicing it right now, whether you want to or not.
Luka:ehhhh..!?
Alice then stood on front of luka.
Alice:Do you see the two yellow marks under your HP gauge? Those are your SP.
Luka:SP? Super points?
Varakiel laughs from afar, and lucifina who has been only observing without talking chuckles.
Alice:you idiot. They're your skill points.
Alice:it seems than all the training varakiel gave you, made you have seven of them, not bad.
Varakiel:yeah sadly, i had to make luka forget everything he has learn from those 3 years prior to my training.
Lucifina:if i knew learning from strangers would only hinder luka i would have stood strong against him asking them to teach him.
Varakiel:not blame yourself lucifina, the only one at blame are the same strangers than teached luka such bad things, and i really wish to know who taught luka that edging skill, to reprimend him and teach him a lesson to not teach such skill to random people.
Luka:kuuu...
Alice:hey you focus on me right now.
Luka:ah! I am sorry.
Alice:*Hump* once you use a skill, it will consume them. For now , try selecting "skill"
Alice:you will see all of the skills you currently know. Though right now, you only know one.Also, make sure you check the number after the skill's name.now, give it a try
Luka:like this...? HA! Demon decapitation!
Luka then jumps in , and quickly slashes at alice's neck
Alice then easily evades.
Alice takes no damage!.
Alice:did you actually think i would let you hit me? Idiot.
Luka:....
Alice:did you notice two from the seven yellow circles disappeared?
Luka:yeah...they're gone
Alice:good when you chose your skill, the number at the end tells you how many SP the skill take to use.since you have 7 you can use it another two times.
Luka:so if i get better, i'll have more than seven points eventually?
Alice:correct. If you level up, or continue your training, your maximum SP can increase too.
Luka:so that how it works...
Alice:and when you get more techniques, the stronger the technique the more it will require SP.in addition, whenever you [attack], you will regain one SP, any other action, won't recharge your SP.
Alice:only by attacking can you increase your fighting spirit.
Luka:i understand!.
Alice:when you start in combat, your SP will usually be at maximum. Sometimes you may get caught by surprise, and not have any...in that case, you won't be able to use a skill right away.also, it's important to remember; using a skill takes concentration, so if you're afflicted with a bad status, or are bound, you won't be able to use a skill.you understand how to use skills now?
Luka:i got it!
Alice:alright, leaving skills behind, let's move onto guarding.when you guard, you put up your guard and sit there defending yourself like a turtle, right?
Luka:that's actually wrong big brother taught me to guard myself combining both defense and evasion.
Alice:thats great, it seems you aren't too much of a idiot if you learned that properly, reducing damage is good, but avoiding it completely is better.
Luka:i get it.
Alice:make sure, when you see an enemy using their strongest attack to guard yourself.you won't only reduce damage. You'll also have a chance to completely evading it.many monsters give signals when they are going to use their most powerful attacks.
Alice:you will usually have one turn before they unleash it, so use that time wisely to defend yourself.
Luka:i got it, guard when i most need it.
Alice:let's end it at that, then.
After luka learn new things, and varakiel learn demon decapitation, the training ended.
Varakiel:luka is time to sleep , you should sleep with your mother on the tent.
Luka:alright, goodnight big brother and alice, lets go mom!.
Lucifina:....alright good night dear, and little alice.
Then luka and lucifina got inside the tent, meanwhile varakiel and alice were still on the bonefire.
Varakiel:...thank you alice.
Alice:for what?.
Varakiel:for teaching luka demon decapitation,i not have any techniques to teach him than would help him actually.
Alice:then what you were taughing him?
Varakiel:after seeing you teach him and interacting with him i feel i can trust you this...luka was actually born half-angel, what i was training him for his body to withstand the holy energy and control it, right now he can almost control all of it but his body needs more tempering so it doesn't get destroy by himself.
Alice:....and thats why even though he is level 3 he has 7 SP?, just what kind of training you made him go through.
Varakiel:jajaja actually i didn't see coming than my training would be this effective on him, right now i am controling his holy powers and set them up on a minimal output, only when he comes with a great challenge than will help him grown i will release him, there is no point on going all out with all your power if the enemy would barely hold for 3 seconds, but he fighthing with limited strength can help him grown up for the future.
Alice:...and what about you?
Varakiel:about me? What do you mean little alice?
Alice:why you train for?
Varakiel:je thats quite simple...i just want to protect what i care for, my friends, my wives, my family, people than deserve to be protected.
Alice:...really?, that all?thats very cliche.
Varakiel:jaja i think so too, but hear me out alice any live being, when he wish to protect and fight for something has the chance to become strong enough to fight even with anyone.
Alice:i think i get it.
Varakiel:i hope so...then alice, are you going to use a sleeping bag?
Alice:i don't want to be covered by something so restrictive...i'll just sleep here.
Alice then coils herself around a tree nearby.
Varakiel:you are really going to sleep like that?oh well then cover yourself with this at least.
Varakiel then hands out a warm blankquet to alice.
Alice:....fine.
Alice then takes the blankquet
Alice:(so...warm.)
Alice:what about you?
Varakiel:ara little alice is concern about me? Jaja, not worry i will be training over there.
Varakiel then stood up and started to train.
Varakiel:....
Alice:....tell me...what happend to luka's dad?.
Varakiel:he was accidently killed by his best friend in a quarrel.
Alice:...and it has something to do with what i did in the past?
Varakiel:....i already told you i have heritaged marcellus memories right?i got too his memory when he died, his best friend killed him without him doing nothing, mainly because he was blind on the left side.
Alice:so it's really my fault?
Varakiel:no, it's actually the fault of those two than could't resolve their quarrel without violence, actually his friend is total scum, he used the death of his best friend to divide monsters and humans even more.
Alice:how so?
Varakiel:there is a extremist group called ilias kreuz, they are terrorist than hate monsters, it's leader is called lazarrus he was the one who killed marcellus.
Alice:i get it now.
Varakiel:now is my turn, why are you here alice?.
Alice:as you know i'm the only daughter of the fateburn family. I wanted to see the world, so I set out a few days ago.
Varakiel:basically you are a rebel child who could't stay at home.
Alice:....i will admit than yeah i could't stay at home it was very boring.
Alice then took out a book.
Alice:look at this book! This forbidden book contains everything about the human world, geography, enviroment, food...it has it all!
Varakiel:¿? The traveling guild's [world traveler] tour guide...can i take a look?
Alice: go ahead.
Alice then handed over the book to varakiel and varakiel read it with interest.
The book contained all kind of places to sightseem, including local delicacies and
such.
Adventurers, foodies, and sightseers all love this book.
Varakiel:eh...alice? This book is marked year 867 this book, this is a 500 years old book.
Alice:oh?is it that old?, i though it looked a little old.
A "little old"? Half the towns and villages listed in the book might not even exist anymore.
Varakiel:is surprising how well it has been take care of.
Alice:of course, is one of the books a monster lord should have.
Varakiel:really? Well, lets hope most of those places still exist on our little adventure jaja.
Alice: you really think we will be able to gain coexistence with humans and monsters?.
Varakiel:of course.
Alice:you didn't even hesitate...you really trust luka that much?.
Varakiel:of course i do, as the same i trust you alice i know both of you can gain coexistence, actually i have a little surprise for you but that would have to wait for a little while.
Alice:little surprise? Now i am interested.
Varakiel:well wait for it then, you should go sleep now.
Alice: fine but that surprise better be good if not.
The alice show a mischievous smile, then lick her lips.
Varakiel:well if you put it like that maybe i should make that surprise bad jajaja.
Alice then blushed, monsters are accustomed to take the lead, not the humans, for her is really weird.
Alice:a-anyway good night.
Then shyly alice cover herself with the blanquet.
Varakiel: good night and sweet dreams little princess.
Meanwhile in the tent.
Luka:good night mom!.
Lucifina:good night and sweet dreams, little luka.
On luka dream world.
????:luka ...oh brave luka...
Luka:h...hmmm...?
Ilias then appears in front of luka.
Luka:granny ilias?
Ilias:its me my little luka, thats how your mother and varakiel like to call you right?it suits you very well, ahem sorry i got out of track.luka....you aren't baptized, and remain unblessed.however, never lose faith in yourself.
Luka:ilias...what happend why didn't you come to baptize me.
Ilias:eh....i'm sorry, to tell the truth i had an accident and i couldn't descend late it wouldn't fit the role of the goddess people have in me.
Luka:....eh?....really?
Ilias:i'm really sorry my little one.
Luka:n-no ilias i understand but then what should i do.
Ilias:luka...unblessed hero luka...never lose faith in yourself even without my blessing i know you can achieve what you dream off, remember i'll always be watching you.
Luka:i know ilias i will remain strong you, mom and big brother believe in me so i will never lose faith in me!.
Ilias: actually...can you do me a favor?
Luka:eh?....what would you need from me ilias?
Ilias:can you tell varakiel something for me?
Luka:of course!.
Ilias:thank you little one, tell him i will be waiting for him at top of heaven i want him to be only me and him to face each other.
Luka:w-what?what do you mean face each other?ilias?granny ilias....
the next day
luka:I...Ilias!
Luka shouting jumped out inside the tent.
Luka:(it seems like granny ilias is okay then i not have to worry anymore).alright! I can do it!
Alice:uhg, what's with all this noise so early in the morning.
Alice still coiled around the tree, alice rubs her sleep filled eyes.
Varakiel then talk behind them.
Varakiel: good morning sleepy heads.
Luka:ah good morning big brother!.
Alice:....good morning.
Lucifina besides varakiel told.
Lucifina:alright luka and alice go wash your face breakfast is almost ready.
Luka:okay!.
Alice:...okay.
Then luka and alice used a wet towel to clean their faces.
Luka:big brother can i speak to you?.
Varakiel:always luka, tell me what is it?.
Luka:ilias came to my dream again and said she had something to tell you.
Luka then told varakiel what ilias said.
Varakiel:i see, jeje, thank you for telling me luka.
Luka:big brother are you really wanna fight granny ilias?.
Varakiel:of course she is really strong!, and i promise her i would do it when we meet again.
Alice behind the two of them listen carefully.
Alice:is the food done already?
Varakiel:almost alice, wait a little bit, okay?
Alice:fine...can you tell me what was that luka told you?you will fight ilias?
Varakiel:oh? That? I made her a promise long ago.
Alice:...and just like that you want to fight her?
Varakiel:of course, to become stronger you have to fight foes stronger than you, of course when i arrive with her i will be almost even with her.
Alice:...is that why you are has strong like me?.
Varakiel:jaja i know you are more stronger alice after all you didn't fight seriously, dont think i don't know you are like luka you don't want to hurt humans.
Alice:...why you say i didn't fight seriously?.
Varakiel:after all you didn't use any of your spells jaja, on marcellus memories i can see your mother spells were really treatening, with that in mind, yours probably are terryfing.
Alice:...you are right i didn't fight seriously, but i can't know how strong are your hits after all you only let me hit you.
Varakiel:who knows maybe in the near future you would see me fight seriously, is just a matter of time.
Alice:matter of time for what?
Varakiel:time when we meet with the 4 heavenly knights of course!, specially granberia!.
Alice:...you sound excited about meeting them, just what you want to do with my subjects.
Varakiel:of course it is fight with them.
Alice:why i feel is not only that?.... fine do whatever you want.
Lucifina:alright you two breakfast is ready, stop speaking and come to eat.
Alice:finally.
Varakiel:alright.
Luka:ah it smells great!.
After a great breakfast
Luka:ahh...that was tasty
Lucifina:as always dear, your cooking is great.
Alice:hm. I completely agree.
Luka:let's head out if we waste too much time, we won't make it to iliasburg before nightfall.
Alice:hmm... that would be troublesome.
Lucifina:yeah that would be not good.
Varakiel:alright lets pack up, and then head off.
After packing their camp up, they headed off again.
Everyone were heading north at a good pace, towards iliasburg, they should arrive before evening.
Luka:i've only been to iliasburg once before, a few years ago with big brother. It's a huge city...The main street was filled with adventurers, merchants, and all sorts of people.tons of different things in all shops, too.
Alice:hahaha....i'm also looking forward to it.
Luka:looking forward to it? You are?
Alice:yeah the famous [sutherland inn] at iliasburg is known for their [happiness honey filled ama-ama dango].its said any gourmet would salivate at the thought of tasting it.
Luka:of course it would be food.
Varakiel:something from the 500 year old guide, alice?
Varakiel behind luka and alice, walking, holding hands with lucifina said.
Alice:yeah!.
Lucifina:500 year old guide?what is that?.
Varakiel:is something alice show to me when you were sleeping.
Lucifina:ooohh, so you were talking with another woman, while your wife was sleeping?
Varakiel:yeah, you should enjoy your time with luka after all, who knows how long you would't see him.
Lucifina:.....i guess you are right.
Varakiel:anyway, alice, we don't know if the hotel is still there from 500 years ago.
Alice:what are you saying? It's only been 500 years old, of course it's still there.
Luka and Varakiel:.....
Luka:hmm?
Walking up, something strange is lying in the center of the road...
Luka:what is this?
It looked like some sort of plant.
Luka:big brother, what do you think that is? Huh?
Luka turned around, but alice, varakiel and lucifina wheren't there.
Luka:it's not really blocking the road, so i could just go around it...
after thinking for a bit luka decided to ignore it
Luka:it's not blocking the road or anything, so i'll just walk by it.
Luka then continued on the way to iliasburg.
Then alice, varakiel and lucifina appeared behind luka.
Alice:...you ignored it, that was smart
Varakiel:looks like, your instincts are working properly luka.
Lucifina:fufu he isn't curious like when he was a kid anymore after all.
Luka:ahh, everyone, where did you head off to?
Alice:if there's even a chance of combat, i'm going to hide.i told you before that i'm not going to help you, didn't I?
Varakiel:its the same reason than i gave you luka, if the monster is something you can't take care off i will, but if you can, even if you don't believe it yourself , i will hide too.
Lucifina:well for me i want to see how good my little luka has become, it seems i will not have to worry too much about you in the future.
Luka:wait, that thing before...was a monster?
Alice:as long as you don't bother it, it's harmless. Or are you some barbarian, who will run up and attack something that doesn't mean you any harm?
Luka:I wouldn't do that! I'll only fight something that gets in my way, if i have to.
Wanting man and monster to live together peacefully, luka of course don't want to fight needless battles.
Alice:besides, that monster would have gave you a lot of trouble actually...probably you would defeat her on a pathetic way.
Luka:that thing is really so powerful...?
Alice:is not strong, it just has an annoying ability.
Varakiel:luka, lesson time, that monster from before was a mandragora, they are ratter peacefull monsters than meant no harm, but if you pull them from their leaves they would use a scream than would paralyse you and render you vulnerable to her.
Luka:(shiver)i-i see...there sure are a lot of different kinds of monsters, aren't there?
Everyone almost reached iliasburg.it was just a little bit farther to the north
as the sun goes down, iliasburg appears before varakiel, alice, luka and lucifina, they can see the city from where they are.
Luka:hmmm.
Varakiel:what is it luka?
Luka:is nothing big brother, is just how we will go in the city?
Varakiel:what you mean?
Luka:i mean alice is still a monster...
Varakiel:ah...i forget completely haha.
Alice:....
Luka:....
Lucifina:fufu
Varakiel:alice...can you disguise yourself as a human again?
Alice:yeah i can but taking the form of a human is unpleasant...why should i have to pretend to be a human....
Luka:alice...if you can't enter the city, how are going to eat your ama-ama dango?.
Alice:crap...i guess that's true.Fine...how does this look?.
luka:ahh...that's good.
Varakiel:gorgeous but still, i like the tail more.
Alice:*blushing*lets move.
Slighly blushing alice moved foward.
Lucifina:ara the monster lord blushed thats a surprise as ever dear, you are full of wonders.
Varakiel:hehe alright lets move.
After arriving at the city.
Luka:what the...? why does the city look so strange?.last time i was here, the city was full of people, and what is this tense air, what's going on!?.
Luka then started to run down the city's main street until he reached the city plaza
Lucifina:what can be happening?
Varakiel:....
Alice:....
then the 3 followed luka.
Luka noticing some sort of commotion in the plaza, he jump behind a tree on the side of the road.
Luka:that's...!
???:how boring. Is there not a single strong person in this entire city?
Strading the city plaza was a monster swordswoman
soldier A: ...damn it....
B:she's so....so strong!.
C:guh...
There three soldiers were fighting her, around them are dozens of strong looking soldiers, collapsed on the ground.
Luka:(did she beat them herself...?)
The monster swordswoman yelled at the three soldiers.
Swordswoman:you three...are you going to fight, or not?
A:guh...!
seeing the situation, luka though than is incredibly unlikely that those three soldiers have any chance of winning...
Luka:that monster..she couldn't be...
(The dragon swordswoman who wields a giant sword...even i have heard the rumors about her...)
Varakiel:granberia, the heavenly knight of fire.
Varakiel spoke at the side of luka
Luka:ah big brother, she really is granberia? who is said than has a swordmanship that no human can match.
Varakiel:yeah
able to stand up against an entire army by herself, killing thousands of soldiers...
Luka:such an insanely strong monster is attacking iliasburg?by herself. b-big brother... what should we do...?
Varakiel:isn't obvious?
Luka:obvious? big brother you don't mean you want me to fight her right?, n-no thats impossible i am way out of her league.
Varakiel:hahaha who said you would, i told you, if you find a monster impossible for you to fight, i will not hide, isn't? i am still here.
Luka:b-big brother y-you m-mean you will fight her?!.
Varakiel:of course i will, she is a perfect opponent for me, you stay here and watch maybe you learn something.
Then Varakiel got down the tree were luka was.
Alice then came from somewhere.
Alice:Are you really gonna fight her?i must warn you she i-
Varakiel:Don't worry, just watch, I told you it isn't?, that you will see me fight seriously yesterday right?.
Alice:ah!....fine, just don't kill everyone else.
Lucifina:fufu have fun dear, i will cheer for you with luka!.
Lucifina as always was positive about varakiel.
Varakiel:haha thank you then, let's start this dance!.
Meanwhile granberia was still talking to the three soldiers.
Granberia:only you three are left...are you just going to watch while i take control of this city? Or is one of you going to be a hero and try to face me!? Well...hurry up and decide!
A:grr...damn you...!
B:i won't let a monster like you do whatever you want!
Two of the remaining three soldiers face granberia.the third soldier cowering in the back, was unable to move
Granberia pick's up her sword.
Granberia:that's the spirit. But even if you have the spirit, it's meaningless!.
Flame surround granberia's sword, giving off a scorching heat, it's as if it was covered in the flames of hell itself.
Luka from a far.
Luka:Uwa!
The four heavenly knights correspond each to an element. Fire, water, earth, wind. granberia it seems is fire
A:take this!
The soldier bravely, without backing down from the heat, swings at granberia!
Then granberia vanishes!
A:gah!
In the next instant, the soldier faints. And behind him stood granberia.
Luka:what was that...?
Lucifina:she just moved really quick luka. you are too weak to follow her with your eyes yet
Luka:uwaaa, i hope big brother can fight her.
Lucifina:fufu your big brother is very strong luka, maybe equally with her just watch, and see varakiel fight okay?
Luka: okay!
Varakiel:(hehe she just knocking him out, as i though even her doesn't want to kill humans.)
B:damn you!
The soldier futily tries to swing at granberia's back.
Granberia:slow..
Granberia looks over her shoulder, and swings her giant sword!.before the soldier could swing his sword the heat wave from granberia slashes into him.
Varakiel:(i wonder how hot is her flame, even from the tree, you could feel the heat.)
B:guha...
the soldier falls due being to close to the heat.
Luka:amazing...the difference in ability is huge.
Soldiers:ughh
the soldiers she defeated are still breathing. In fact, all the other soldiers she defeated are alive too.
Varakiel:(It takes huge skill to fight someone and don't kill him..)
All that remains is one terrified soldier...
Granberia:well then.. what are you going to do?
C:ahh...ahhhhh!
The soldier turns his back on granberia, and starts to run away. Granberia stood still, without giving chase.
Granberia:that's a wise choice. But in the future, you can't call yourself a soldier, or a hero.
Varakiel:well, i guess it's my turn
