Chapter 49 Deal With A Nine-Tailed-Fox: Part 2
"What the fuck was that, Dorian?" Lucas crawled out from the hole after hearing the conversation between the two demons. "You kicked him here?! ARE YOU INSANE?!"
Dorian flinched after seeing the state Lucas was in and awkwardly scratched his head. "Uh... Ahh... Sorry." He quickly bowed his head in apology. "Fight was intense and I accidentally kicked him in the wrong direction."
Lucas sighed. "Goddammit, Dorian he crashed into me." Then Lucas noticed something weird that shocked him; Dorian was still in his regular form. 'Did he actually fight in his base form?!' Then he looked at Drake who already became a nine-tailed fox. 'How powerful is Dorian?!' Lucas's mouth dropped in shock and wonder as he realized how dangerous Dorian was. 'I bet on a right horse.' he thought to himself.
"Anyway, Lucas you should get going. I saw a group of adventurers coming this way." Dorian warned him.
"Yeah yeah... They might kill me." Lucas replied nonchalantly with a sarcastic tone.
Dorian rolled his eyes and turned away to walk towards Drake. "Let's continue where we left off, shall we?" he said while cracking his knuckles.
"Sure, whatever," Drake responded with a bored expression.
"I need to rest my body, so let's make this quick," Lucas said as he stood up. He then started summoning mana and summoned his wings. "I will help."
Dorian turned to Lucas and shook his head. "No. This fucker is mine." He grinned.
"Oh come on..." Lucas groaned. "I just want to go home already."
Dorian rolled his eyes again, 'I forget Lucas is still a kid sometimes. While he does have memories of someone who might be older, his body, brain, hormones... well... everything else is still a kid.' he thought to himself.
Lucas narrowed his eyes and clenched his jaw, turning his gaze towards Dorian with an expression of intense displeasure. He wanted to end this fight as soon as possible so that he could kill Thomas and return to school without worry that king Thomas would ruin his life in the Elemental kingdom. He understood that what he did was the last straw and there is no way that he would be allowed to stay here peacefully. As long as he weakened Drake down with his angelic mana, two of them could easily win.
"Just get some rest." Dorian sighed. "Besides, don't forget that adventurers are coming this way. Do you want to stay here?"
Lucas gritted his teeth and reluctantly nodded. "Fine."
"Good angel!" Dorian smiled.
"I will fucking kill you one day," Lucas growled menacingly as he started moving toward the edge of the crater.
"Of course, you won't. We're partners in crime. Connected by the contract." Dorian burst out laughing. "See ya later." then he jumped toward's Drake and created a portal behind him. He pushed Drake inside and two demons instantly disappeared.
"Dammit!" Lucas punched the ground angrily. "I need to get stronger."
He came up with an idea for a way to stop this ongoing fight, first, he needed to get Drake's attention. He stood up and looked at Thomas's unconscious body and pointed his hand at him. "You wouldn't mind if I killed your friend? Right?" he said knowing that Dorian barely took Drake into the sky and the two of them heard him.
"Alright then." Lucas started to gather angelic mana into his palm in a shape of a ball and smirked. "Say goodnight, Thomas."
Soon, he noticed another white portal that showed up and from it Drake ran toward Lucas. "I knew that he was protecting him," Lucas smirked and pointed his hand at Drake.
Meanwhile Dorian was moving as fast as he could to stop Drake from killing Lucas. "Goddammit, that brat! I told him to go home!"
Drake created a massive curse-infused fireball and released it Lucas's direction.
Lucas's eyes were wide as a massive fireball was growing closer each moment. It looked like the sun itself, a great orange swelling of flame on the horizon.
"Holy shit!" Lucas yelled out. Adrenaline rushed through his veins as he smiled at the danger. He could sense the density of mana within that single spell was not something he has ever seen before."I knew you were strong, but this strong?!"
Lucas lunged out of the way, but the fireball came so close that he felt the fire sting his skin. He could already smell his hair singeing, and feel the heat rolling off the flaming cursed sphere.
Lucas threw himself to the side with reckless abandon, but he was a split-second too late; he could feel the air rush against his face as his body crashed to the ground. He scrambled to stand, every muscle in his body trembling in anxiety as his heart pounded in his chest.
"T-That was close!" Lucas stuttered as he stared at his burnt legs. "Dammit. This crap takes ages to heal!" he yelled out in frustration.
Dorian grabbed the fox demon by its scruff and flung it into the sky with a roar of rage. He immediately appeared by Lucas's side and was relieved to see his friend was unharmed. He knelt down and carefully examined Lucas for signs of any injury.
"I did not expect you to do that!" Dorian laughed through tears. "But hey, you're okay, right?"
Lucas shivered as his heart rate slowed down. His gaze lingered on the sky as he watched the fox demon fly towards them, the cursed sphere in its mouth.
"I could have died here, dammit!" Lucas playfully chuckled.
Dorian glanced down and saw his friend staring blankly into the sky, a soft smile on his lips.
"Uh, Lucas? Where's another demon?" Dorian asked.
"Still there." Lucas pointed into the distance and drew a line with his finger to indicate the exact spot. Thomas lay on the ground, face-down, his arms spread out at unnatural angles covered by a blanket Drake gave him.
"Uh... Is he dead?" Dorian awkwardly scratched his head.
"Nope, just unconscious. You two morons interrupted before I could finish the job." Lucas sighed standing up.
"Auch Auch Auch!" Lucas winced as he stretched out his burnt legs.
"You really should be more careful. Why did you tease the guy?" Dorian asked.
"I just thought of something, I knew he was listening and watching." Lucas smirked. "Drake, can we talk?"
