Chapter 147 147:I Am Just Doing My Job[2]
"This power. It's impressive."
A solemn voice echoed through the air.
His body sprints through the air and crosses towards the magic circle. He waves his hands and many eyeballs popped out from the dark shadow casting over the two people.
"It's over you. Beg mercy."
"Kheikkkk!"
Heinkiel burst into laughter emitting a screeching sound.
"Dream on."
A bluish manifestation appeared over Julian in the shape of a dragon. Finally, at this moment the intense cold of the frostbite that had been condensed in her body started going crazy.
With Lucas supporting her and curing her pain, nothing was holding her back. The shackles that had always weighed upon her were freed momentarily. It's been a long time since her heart fluttered with warmth and excitement.
Her eyes emitting crimson light turned towards the approaching intruder.
A 3-metre tall muscular demonic human with a bullhead appeared in her eyesight.
He trampled the ice floor with his big feet. He was walking while scattering the mana heavily. The dark wind fluttered around his body.
A mixture of green and black light emerged from the eyeball that attacked Julian and Lucas.
"Your Highness, leave this to me. Just focus on attacking him"
"Okay!"Julian nodded and focused on preparing for the final blow.
Heinkiel, sensing danger, swung his head.
A gust of wind blew in an instant. As if a pack of wolves rushed in, the strong dark green wind blew and the blizzard blowing in the air was torn apart.
The ice mass was cut off in an instant and advanced towards Julian.
BOOM!
A large explosion occurred, and the wind attack was halted immediately, startling both Heinkiel and Julian.
As the smoke dissipated, their eyes widened seeing countless orbs floating in the air.
"What's that?"Heinkel asked in disbelief.
Lucas instead of answering controlled the minesweepers to form a layer around them that would explode on the slightest touch.
While keeping some close, Lucas used telekinesis to make them float towards the eyeball that exploded on slight contact.
"Childish!"Heinrich sneered.
A dark green tornado appeared that started pulling the floating minesweepers.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
Dark flames gushed violently as the tornado exploded after engulfing a large amount of bombs. Heinkiel's body was pushed back by the fierce force created by the explosion of many bombs. Moreover, the bombs were blessed so the light erupting from them had a burning effect on him.
Feeling the intense pain as if Holy Light was directly pouting on him, he quickly stepped back.
"Damn! How can someone bless these things?"He murmured in disbelief.
As the sudden influx of light subsided, an eerie sensation wrapped around his body. Behind the thick dark fog, a thick cold air was flowing out from the darkness.
In the aisle, a blue silver hair woman walked out emitting large waves of mana around the whole place. Her eyes looked like a grim reaper that had descended to harvest his life.
The woman slowly raised her head as the cold bloody eyes turned towards the man.
"Was it the power of Evil Spirit Ajkerbern that pierced through my mental defence?"
"Yes?"Heinkiel spoke in confusion unable to understand her question.However, hearing the cold voice, a bad foreboding appeared in his heart making him restless.
His body quivered seeing the bloody gaze that sent a chill down her spine.
"You shouldn't have done that?"
A chilling ethereal voice echoed that froze the whole atmosphere.
Bluish mana encased Julian.
A fiery roar of a dragon shook the area.
A frigid blizzard raged Heinkiel's vision turning it grey.
"You can't defeat me, I have the power of the Heavenly Evil Spirit," Heinkiel screamed with a distorted expression.
A venomous purple wind exploded from his body and hit Julian's that tried to erode her.
However, Julian's icy mana acting as a shield protected her.
With a faint murmur, Julian muttered.
[Glory Of Winter.]
"Noooooooo!"
A dazzling blue light spread in all directions.
A combined attack of magic and ice ability drives away all the magic from the vicinity leaving only the elemental ice mana creating an area of hegemony for the caster.
The strongest apex attack of Julian, the Glory of the Winter wafts out of Julian freezing everything in the vicinity.
"I can't accept this."
"How is this possible? You are just a 6-Star. How do you hold so much power? It is wrong, it's not possible.You are bitch that stands in our way."
"I will eliminate you and kill you."
Heinkiel tried to counterattack but all his attacks were destroyed with just a simple gesture from Julian.
Heinkiel, giving up on attacking with the spell, decided to bore the frost with his muscular body.
His figure melted the frozen area around him with magical power and he ran towards Julian making the ground tremble.
A dark green tornado wrapped around him as he moved his hand to stab Julian.
"It's useless."
Julian's gentle voice reverberated through the air.
The voice sounded gentle but it rang like thunder in Heinkiel's ears.
After sacrificing so many things and gaining so much power, it was still useless at the end.He couldn't even touch a single strand of her hair.
This was unacceptable. His heart felt crushed as if trampled over by a bulldozer.
In front of Julian, who was at her best now, Heinkiel was just pathetically weak and helpless.
Julian slid her sword toward Heinrich. The magic circle of freezing explosion was implemented on it.
[Rapid Cooling]
In the blink of an eye, Heinrich's body froze into a crystalline mass.
[Ice Explosion.]
From the magic circle embedded in front of her, a cold magical explosion occurred.
A strong gush of ice explosion erupted.
The blast of cold violent air shattered Heinkiel and burst his body. His body which had been frozen into ice started to burst apart and with an explosion, his body shattered into countless shards.
BOOOOOOOM!
SWISH!SWISH!SWISH!SWISH!
Strong gales bellowed spreading across the place and sweeping everything.
Shockwaves radiates across the place carrying a dense mass of cold air that was cold enough to freeze any 5-Star to death.
"Khummm!''
Lucas was pushed back by the strong blast of cold wind.
He crouched down and stabbed his sword deep into the ground to stop himself from getting blown away by shockwaves.
"It's so strong," Lucas murmured, feeling his armour weighed down by the layer of frost formed over it.
The freezing coldness made his body numb.
The attack casted by Julian was enough to blow even an 8-Star. Seeing the fierce scene, Lucas concluded that it should be Julian who should take the role of the protagonist.
With so much power, she deserves the role of a female protagonist.
"Damn!Am I gonna freeze to death.It's so cold."
"Did you forgot me?I am here to help you."
A warm fire enveloped Lucas and covered him from the power of the blast.
"Did you know about this event before?"Lucas asked cautiously.
Lucas stared at the warm figure and asked.
"Who are you?"
"I am a High-Level fire spirit, my name is Iternia."
"Did you know about this event before?"Lucas asked cautiously.
"I can't answer that but all I wanted to do was to repay the favour."
"Repay the favour."Lucas blinked in confusion and then thought that he had helped Shiya so maybe she was talking about that.
Lucas said"You helped Her Highness, not me. How can it be counted as helping me?"
"Helping her is helping you."
"What kind of shit is this?"Lucas screamed, feeling betrayed.
"Sorry, I have to leave. I am running out of energy."
Lucas swallowed his words and decided to focus on the most important thing.
"Can I form a contract with you?"
Iternia took a moment seizing up Lucas and answered.
"No!"
"Your spirit sensitivity is good but your aptitude is bad. Moreover, your level is too low to even contract a low-level spirit."Iternia's voice faded and the warm fire around Lucas dispersed.
Looking at her fading figure, Lucas felt as if she just gave him emotional damage.
"Wasn't she too frank?"Lucas mumbled indifferently and looking ahead at the clearing fog, his eyes gleamed with an inexplicable glint.
"Hmm! It's time to finish things off.I need to strike when the iron is hot.I won't get any opportunity like this."
.....
Heinkeil's body after breaking apart turned into a blue powder of crystalline mass and flew away in the air.
The black mana around the surrounding area dispersed and everything started to calm down.
The snow and ice covered every trace of the battle that happened here.
Julian finally sighed in relief after averting the looming danger.
As she bent down on one knee, feeling exhausted, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from the back.
Julian's brows creased seeing Lucas's blank expression.
Seeing those eyes, Julian felt a bad premonition.
Lucas squatted down before her and stared deep into her eyes, startling her for a moment.
Her heart beat violently seeing him from so close.
Those golden eyes which were always gentle but now looked quite cold and overbearing.
"Your Highness, may I ask you something?"
"Yes!"
"Did you take such a big risk because you felt I might betray you?"
Julian's eyes widened upon hearing Lucas's words.
Seeing her keeping silent, Lucas sighed.
"For you, to entrust so many important things at once after coming here, you wanted to test me. You might have felt something amiss the moment we came here. From the moment I showed reluctance to come here, you doubted me and thought I might be involved in all this mess."
What Lucas hated the most was being threatened and forced.
He denied Saintess Luna's request but she was adamant about sending him here. There was a hidden meaning underneath her words that she would expose his secrets if he didn't comply.
And how much she knows about him, Lucas didn't know.
"That!"Julian bites her lips giving an apologising look.
"Have you also thought of me as an enemy?"
"Huh!" Julian stared at Lucas with confusion.
"What do you mean?"
"When you were under the Ajekerbern effect, the first thing you did after seeing me was to attack, which is only possible if you think of me as an enemy?"
When Julian was going to stab herself as Lucas tried to stop her and that time Julian's eyes flashed with animosity.
Just from a glance, Lucas ascertained that this was her thought, not something that had been controlled.
The atmosphere became heavy as soon as Lucas's words fell.
Julian's eyes opened wide.
"How...How did you know?"Julian's voice stuttered a bit.
Lucas just smiled coldly.
It was human psychology. When you are in a moment of despair, you don't put a pretence anymore. When you are at your lowest, you will look for warmth but you can only open your heart if you have a good impression of that person.
If instead of him, it was Ami or someone Julian was close to, she wouldn't have thought of attacking first but rather her eyes would show belonging.
Moreover, that spell dug out a person's true thoughts and insecurities.Since, she had some insecurities against him, it was also shown in her behaviour.
Lucas didn't know why it hurt more than he expected but he didn't want to argue with Julian but wanted to tell her to trust him.
Lucas sighed seeing Julian hardened expression.
"From your silence, I think you agree."Lucas smiled.
"You also forced me to come here to test whether I would side with them but once you see me risking my life, you finally believe in me and ask me to leave."
Julian averted her eyes seeing those piercing gazes.
If Julian really came up with a ridiculous excuse now and tried to shift the blame, Lucas was sure, he would be disgusted by her because doing one thing and speaking another thing is the work of the bitches and yeah, no one likes bitches.
Lucas, with a resigned look,took out two potions and placed them before her"Your Highness, one is a calming potion and another one is a healing potion."
"This space is protected so no one will disturb you. You can call the spirit of tree. She will take you out once you are ready. Please, take care."
"Excuse me, Your Highness, I will leave first."
Lucas stood up and walked back with a dropped shoulder.
Julian's heart twisted seeing his lonely back. She extended her hand to call him back and console him but the words choked in her throat.
It was for the first time in her life, she felt that she might have to be too cold to someone who genuinely cared for her and her way of doing things might have pushed him away.
