Outside the gate...

Confusion etched on everyone's faces.

"Is he going to do something crazy again?" Frederick scratched his head in confusion.

After the spar with Lucas, he had a rough guess about Lucas' strength. And the truth was, he was starting to feel a bit afraid of this guy knowing the crazy things he could do.

Just recently, he almost wiped out half of the Professors of Horizon. Though the work was done by others, Lucas was the one who pulled all the strings until the end.

This proves that this guy had already made a vast connection aside from his and Charles's house.

In this brief confrontation, the only one who had gained many things was none other than Lucas.

Meanwhile, Ami and Herman stared at Lucas' daunting gaze.

"Why isn't he pulling out his sword?" Herman spoke with a frown wondering if this guy had been frozen by bloodlust.

Contrary to everyone's thoughts, Lucas stared at the huge figure unchained before him. It had a huge statue standing on its hind limb. A dark visage, huge bulky hands and claws. There was a goat-shaped skull stuck over his forehead from which four huge horns extended.

Most of the Demonkin in a way are considered evolved monsters due to the intake of miasma and can stand on hind limbs but in no way they are slower compared to the monster.

Seeing the size of the Demonkin, Lucas calmed himself as a gust of powerful wave assaulted him.

The area around him started turning red, as the Demonkin gawked at him hungrily.

'I hope this works.' Lucas muttered.

He wasn't trying to show off, rather he needed to do a test and though it was safe to do this with Demonkin chained, as taught by Harris, a person should experience a certain feeling of death and fear because only then can you bring out your full potential.

'Damn, I don't want to do this.' Lucas sighed as he asked Harris for help but that man told him to do it.

The Demonkin chains suddenly unhinged and it charged towards Lucas with a loud piercing shriek.

A huge pressure descended on him and the blood lust from demo kin assaulted Lucas like a wave but he stood unfazed.

Lucas felt that his own killing intent had surpassed this beast's one.

Leaping over the ground, it extended its claws at Lucas, aiming straight at his vital spot. But just as it drew near, Lucas' eyes glowed fiercely with a golden hue.

Many closed their eyes in fear of any mishap but what happened next, shocked them out of their wits as the gnarly claws just stopped an inch away from Lucas with the Demonkin face appearing right before Lucas' face.

The Demonkin's arm that extended to seize Lucas suddenly felt trapped by an invisible layer of chains restraining his movements.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Realizing that it was trapped, it opened its jaw revealing sharp teeth.

Veins started appearing all over his body and his muscles bulged outward.

"GRRRRRRR!"

"What is that?" Herman asked with curiosity.

"Is it a restraining spell? When did he get that?"

Everyone who watched the scene felt perplexed, yet their eyes were glued onto Lucas who inched closer towards the Demonkin.

As Lucas was lost in his thoughts, Rose came to his side and asked.

"Is your fight with Frederick settled?"

Lucas' whole body shivered and for a moment he looked around wondering if Rose was talking to someone else as he had rarely talked with Rose and the truth was, he found Rose's personality somewhat distant.

It was just that she was too monotonous and stoic without much fun.

"I am talking to you." Rose said, seeing Lucas looking around.

Cough!Cough!

"Yeah, it settled. We don't have any deadly enmity, just minor clashes of opinions."

"I see."

An awkward silence prevailed for a moment making Lucas uncomfortable so he decided to go and talk with Jeanette who was looking at him.

But just as he took a step, Rose spoke again.

"Frederick may be a bit unfriendly and had a habit of keeping things to himself. You may find him seriously frustrating when he does things on his own."

"And why are you telling me this?" Lucas asked wearily.

Rose stared at Lucas' face with a softened expression.

"That's because you are the only one whom he feels comfortable with. Truth is, I am jealous of you. Despite my repeated approach he still tried to do things by himself thinking that he had to rely on his own and had to bear the burden. And I don't know what it is but after your confrontation, I can see him change." Rose closed her while remembering Frederick who seemed quite relaxed now.

"He is much more relaxed and worry-free now. So, please take care of him. He trusts you."

Lucas stood rooted in his place reminiscing about Frederick's character.

He reminds Lucas of people who have so many grievances but they can't share it with their loved ones in case they would be worried. So suppressing the pain, all they can do is wear a mask of happiness.

"He might trust me but he believes in you, Rose. You mean more to him than anything else. And the reason why he doesn't share his burdens is that he didn't want you to be suppressed by those weights and worries. I know it's wrong but we need to look by standing in his shoes. Just do your best, he will surely open up to you one day."

Rose's eyes widened and her expression brightened up.

"Lucas, you are next."

Their conversation was interrupted by Ami's call.

lightsnοvεl "Sorry, I have to go now. As for this matter, just believe in yourself and your love. And you too try to relax and have some fun. Don't keep that stoic boring face all the time. Your face will be filled with wrinkles if you keep worrying all the time."

Lucas then ran away leaving those words.

"Relax and have some fun, huh!"

Rose smiled thanking Lucas for the advice.

Meanwhile, Frederick, who dealt with the Demonkin easily after a brief spar, on walking out, was suddenly struck by thunder seeing Rose's sweet smiling face.

'Oh my God! What happened to my Rose?'

'Why is she smiling like a normal girl? Is she sick?'

'My poor Rose!'
