165 Breaking into the Castle (1/2)
Drate looked towards the wall in admiration, she walked up to it and hit it with everything she's got, only for it to be reflected off the wall like it was nothing. ”Whoa, so this is the Dragon King's Wall, it really is impenetrable just as explained by the elders.”
Lachlan walked up to it and threw a punch of his own, when he made contact a resounding bang echoed through the surroundings. Drate covered her ears due to how loud it was, especially due to her heightened senses that one bang made a shiver go up her spine.
Looking at the wall her expression changed to shock; although it wasn't large or anything, where Lachlan had punched the wall there was a very small crack. Its size was comparable to a human's finger, almost unnoticeable if one wasn't looking.
Lachlan sighed as he placed his hands on his hips. ”Huh, suppose it is a lot stronger than I expected.” Lachlan had completely expected him to be able to beat the wall over, but with the little damage he did in comparison to the wall, he would have to punch the wall continuously for a week to get through.
Drate's mouth was agape as she stared at Lachlan in shock. ”What do you mean stronger than you expected? Were you thinking you would be able to punch through it in one hit? Actually, don't answer those questions, with the amount of strength you just displayed I wouldn't be surprised if you did think you would be able to do that.”
”Oh well, suppose I can go through it with another method,” Lachlan shrugged his shoulders along with a sighed. Taking out a high-grade gravity stone he held it in the palms of his hand, Drate looked at the stone with her eyebrows lowered.
”What do you expect to accomplish with that? It's just a normal stone, I can't detect anything magical about it.” Drate was confused as to why Lachlan brought out a random stone. Sure it was beautiful, but the guards wouldn't take it as a bride to let them in.
”Ay, just keep quiet and watch,” Lachlan brushed off Drate's comments like they were air. He then commanded the stone internally. '200 times Earth's gravity in front of me, go 15 metres forward before changing to 200 times Earth's gravity behind me until you come to a halt; once halted, change to 0 times Earth's gravity. Do all this with a range of your surface.'
With the commands set the stone disappeared from Lachlan's hands; Drate was only able to see an afterimage of the stone, her eyes weren't able to track the stone's trajectory. But when she heard a resounding smash to her side she realised where it had gone.
Looking towards the wall her mouth almost dropped to the floor, a hole the size of a palm was in the wall; cracks began to spread from there, slowly but surely encompassing the entire wall. Lachlan walked up to it nonchalantly and punched forward lightly. The wall crumbled to the ground, the wall that was said to be impenetrable to every force just crumbled in front of her.
Lachlan walked through casually, grabbing his stone and returning it to his pocket. Drate rushed through, still shocked to her core by what she just saw. She pointed towards Lachlan, her hand was shaking. ”What the hell was that! I detected no magic on the stone, it couldn't have done anything to nullify the wall's defences!”
”Well it's a rather unique stone that requires no magic,” Lachlan explained before walking towards the castle. ”Unfortunately, I can't tell you any more than that, it is one of my trump cards after all, can't have the whole world knowing about it.”
”Well sorry to say but I'm not the whole world; not to mention I won't tell anyone, not even my elders or king, so can you please tell me how it works?” Drate was desperate to know how the stone worked, it has a power that rendered an impenetrable wall like paper, she wanted to know how.
”Nope, maybe if you join me back to my home, but even then, you'll need to gain mine as well as my group's trust. Only then can you get a stone; before that, however, we won't spill a single fact about the stone,” Lachlan explained with a stern expression. ”Also, if you decided to join me, I will warn you beforehand, there is no coming back, especially once you find out about the stone.”
Lachlan decided that he might actually let the demoness join, only on the conditions that he just explained. He doesn't want her joining their group if she won't stay; if she were to find out about everything and return to her elders and explain everything. That'll cause a whole lot of trouble that he doesn't want to deal with as of now.
”Hm, then I can't join you, I have to return to my clan as I'm soon to be getting married,” Drate explained with a sigh. ”Oh well, hopefully, we can meet sometime later in life; who knows, maybe you'll come to the demon continent and enjoy it there.”
”What, married?” Lachlan was slightly shaken momentarily. ”You're already getting married? I suppose I should congratulate you and your partner, wish you the best of luck in life and hopefully you give birth to a happy and strong child.”
Lachlan didn't know how to respond; so he combined a few things together and hoped it worked out without him deeply offending Drate. After all, he doesn't have a clue as to how the traditions of demons work. Do they wish others success in life? Do they even wish newlyweds luck in giving birth to a healthy child?
Drate burst into laughter. ”What was that? Usually, you would only say those things after I get married, not before. After all, my husband has to successfully pass a few trials created by my family before he can take my hand in marriage.”
