"Who are you?" asked the "beast" Lucio.He saw the process from the beginning: before, when he was about to cut Alfonso in two, a figure appeared from the ground and protected him That"s right, this woman appeared from the ground, like a flower. He was stupefied. He had seen a couple of champions in the past but he had never seen a human literally coming out from the earth, what"s more…
"She is beautiful!" thought Lucio.
The woman in front of him appeared to be 20 to 30 years old. She wore a long green skirt, however, the figure of her legs couldn"t be hidden. She wore a brown top that covered half of her stomach, revealing her white skin, and she had a pair of beautiful green eyes and open brown hair. What"s more, she was barefoot.
Lucio had seen a lot of beautiful woman before- Susana was a good example, however, this was the first time he saw someone like Demeter. After this woman appeared, she had a sun-like smile while looking at the fallen prince Alfonso. He saw how this G.o.ddess-like girl tried to stop the sword with her hand, and Lucio tried to suppress his strength. After all, how could he bear to hurt such a beautiful girl! However, he knew that it was useless, his momentum couldn"t be stopped. Just as he thought he would cut the G.o.ddess" hand in two, an incredible scene happened.
She actually stopped his full attack!
This G.o.ddess stopped the attack of a champion with her bare hands!
Lucio felt like he had encountered a powerful wall.
"It"s impossible! Not even Alberto could have stopped my attack with his bare hands without been injured!"thought Lucio.
When Lucio saw a few droops of blood sliding along the blade, he made a small sigh of relief. However, he still was stupefied.
"I only made a superficial cut at the most" thought Lucio.
The G.o.ddess-like figure said something to Alfonso and she hugged him, lifting him like a princess and putting him on the floor next to Artemis. All this time, this G.o.ddess-like figure hadn"t looked at Lucio, not even once. It was like he was air.
After putting Alfonso on the floor, she caressed his hair while making a beautiful smile, like a young maiden in love.
Lucio became angrier and angrier at this sight. He wanted to go and slice Alfonso into pieces.
"Beautiful G.o.ddess, it is nice to meet you. My name is Lucio Pentagate, from the Pentagate house. I don"t know what your relations.h.i.+p with the stupid prince is, however, I admire your strength and beauty. How about I invite you to the Pentagate House as an honorable guest?" said Lucio.
However, the beautiful G.o.ddess didn"t answer, she was still caressing the stupid prince hair, like she didn"t hear him.
Lucio was about to explode from anger. He felt so insulted!
"Hey! I am talking to you!" Lucio couldn"t suppress his anger anymore and shouted.
The beautiful G.o.ddess stopped her actions and stood up. However, she was still turned around; she was giving her back to Lucio without saying anything.
Lucio suddenly felt the temperature increasing.
1 degree… 2 degrees…3 degrees….
As a trained soldier, and a champion, his body was very sensitive to these kind of changes. At first he thought that it was the weather that was changing.
However, the temperature increased more and more by the time.
5 degrees…8 degrees…10 degrees….
The temperature suddenly increased by ten degrees!
Lucio began to feel hot and the other soldiers also noticed the temperature change.
Suddenly, the cloudy weather changed ans the sun actually appeared!
The soldiers didn"t understand why the temperature was changing, but Lucio did. However, he refused to believe it!
"It"s not possible! There is no human that can change the weather! Even the Champion of Weather herself can"t make the sun appear!" thought Lucio.
He suddenly noticed that his hand was trembling a little.
He gritted his teeth and bit his lower lip to calm himself.
"My name is not beautiful G.o.ddess."
Suddenly Lucio heard a sweet and beautiful voice and he was charmed by the voice. However, he also noticed a chilled tone in the voice.
"After all, if someone wants to a.s.sociate a figure to beauty, that will be Aphrodite, not me," said the beautiful woman who slowly turned around to look at Lucio for the first time.
"My name is Demeter," she said.
When Lucio saw the face of Demeter, a chill ran down his back. The sweet smile from before was nowhere to be seen and instead, a cold and calm face greet him. Moresover, Lucio felt something else from her.
Murderous intent.
"Demeter, right? What a charming name. You are blessed by the G.o.ds with beauty and power. As long as you stay by my side, there are no limits to your achievements! What do you say? Leave that piece of c.r.a.p and come to my side. He doesn"t deserve you. I don"t know what lies he said to you but let me tell you this: he"s a fallen prince who isn"t loved by anyone- even his own family gives a c.r.a.p of whether he lives of dies. You want to know what his nickname was back at the Lockheart family? He was called the Idiotic Prince," said Lucio with confidence.
Demeter didn"t say anything.
The temperature began to increase once again.
11 degrees…13 degrees…15 degrees….
This time, even Lucio began to feel uncomfortable with the sudden rise of temperature.
"Are you done?" asked Demeter.
"Huh?"
"I asked you, are you done?" asked Demeter once again.
"I don"t understand what you-"
"In all these years, there has been a lot of people who tried to p.i.s.s me off" she said while walking slowly.
16 degrees…16.5 degrees…17 degrees….
"I didn"t really give them much importance."
Suddenly, sun rays appeared slowly in Demeter"s hand.
17.5 degrees…18 degrees…18.5 degrees….
"However, you really have done it this time. Congratulations."
19 degrees…19.5 degrees…20 degrees….
The sun rays slowly took a form on Demeter"s hand, to Lucio"s surprise, and into the form of a scythe!
"I am enraged," said Demeter while swinging her scythe towards Lucio.
*Swoch!*
Lucio tried to defend by putting his sword in front of him.
To his shock, the scythe pa.s.sed his sword as if it was water and slashed Lucio"s abdomen.
"ARGGGGG" Lucio make a small cry while looking at his chest. He saw a huge burn mark!
"Be prepared" said Demeter. "You won"t die that easily."
