Chapter 58: The Aftermath And Lawrends New Goal (1/2)

Reagen lifted Reon carefully. There was not a trace of the image of a Branch Guild Master on his visage anymore. He was just a lone survivor of a tragedy.

”T-The demon…”

Reon warned Reagen with difficulty. Earlier, when he was thrown into the air by the steam explosion, he didn't see if the Noble Demon defended herself or not.

Reagen stayed still when Reon reminded him. He looked around the area carefully and used his swordsman skills to detect the tiniest of movements. After a while when he was sure that nothing was moving in their surroundings, he slowly floated into the air and left the area.

When they got out of the thick fog, Reagen turned back. The fog was already disappearing as the coastal wind blew it away and up into the atmosphere. One day, these vast amounts of water vapor will fall to the earth. Surely creating a destructive rainfall.

”She's most likely heavily injured or even dead.”

Reagen said to Reon. The only reason Reon is alive right now was because of the enhancements his years of practicing magic did to his body.

Reon turned his head with difficulty to the port area and looked on with dread in his eyes. Such a powerful demon has come to attack one of the trading hubs of the Undrasil Kingdom. This will be big news that will surely create a ripple across the whole continent.

Reagen turned back and entered the city. A small opening opened for him on the defensive magic circle's barrier.

Back to Lawrend.

Lawrend watched as the thick fog slowly disappeared. Soon, the aftermath can be clearly seen from Lawrend's vantage point.

The ships that were docked at the port were destroyed. Who knows how many lives were lost?

The port was now flat ground. Scattered bodies of demons and some humans can be seen sprawled all around.

”The war between humans and demons, huh…”

Lawrend thought deeply. His life would be much more complicated than he thought it would be now that peace seems to be disturbed.

”Young Master, do you know why that demon woman wanted you?”

Aleshia asked him in curiosity. She was genuinely curious now why such a powerful demon would be after Lawrend. It also has to be mentioned that Lawrend and Aleshia have no idea that she was called a Noble Demon.

”I'm not sure, but from what that other demon shouted to her, I can guess that it's because of my talent. The same reason the Guild Master wanted me to be an Elite Member of the guild.”

Lawrend replied to her as he deduced what happened earlier.

”I see. Then what should we do now, Young Master? The shipment that you were waiting for is now destroyed.”

Aleshia nodded her head in understanding before asking Lawrend the thing that bothers her the most now.

”I'll train. I now understand how naive I was into thinking that I was powerful when I first used my Shock Arc spell.”

Lawrend responded to her solemnly. He looked at the destroyed port area with eyes filled with determination. That demon woman is definitely not dead. Lawrend had to prepare for the time when she comes back looking for him.

There's also his goal of making a Maid Harem. Without strength, he would not be able to protect the girls that he will court in the future. Just recently, he almost lost Aleshia.

Lawrend couldn't help but turn towards Aleshia and he embraced her tightly.

”Ah! Young Master…”
