Chapter 113

113 - The Rightful Heir LUCIUS.

The female that appeared out of nowhere was wearing a long, black cloak, and if I were right, she
might be the witch Lucien used for the enchantment of the cove.

"It took me a while to find where they took you!"

She snapped at him before directing her gaze at us.

"She's a witch!"

Lucy blurted out as she shoved Stone behind her and positioned herself in a protective stance, but
Adan was fast to reverse their position so that he was now in front of her.

"That I am! Nice to see you, Patrea! I didn’t know you would turn to the other side!"

The witch smirked as she diverted her attention to Patrea..

"If Lucien hadn’t bound me with his damn contract, I would have left a long time ago! And you're
making a great mistake, Zelda! You still have time to abandon Lucien. And we will never come after
you!"

Patrea yelled at her.

"Too bad, Patrea, I can gain more from him than you!" She glared and blasted a light on our side, and
Patrea mustered up her energy to building a shield to cover us.

"Melt the ice around you, Lucien, while Patrea is still preoccupied! "

She murmured, sending a message to Lucien, but I could hear it with my demon ears.



This was the reason we took Lucien out of his kingdom to a place in the underworld where he would
not be able to have any connection.

The Kingdom of Arsenith - the kingdom of his worst rival. But I would never guess he had a witch,
which he probably linked to himself like a fucking GPS.

Lucy tried to shoot fire, but it bounced back on the shield that Patrea created.

"Stop the shield, we will blast her off! Otherwise, we can’t just stay here and use up all your energy. I’m
sure, Lucien will be able to unbind himself!"

Lucija told Patrea.

"I can’t. If I do, her lightning will fire directly at me! It will hit me, and I don’t know if I have the strength
to survive that!"

Patrea’s voice was stuttering, and I regretted prolonging Lucien’s life. I should have killed him earlier
before the witch arrived.

Patrea began to lose her footing, but she was trying to remain standing.

Sweat formed on her forehead as she kept blocking the shield.

"Thad to let go of one spell. I can’t keep Lucien’s bind and this shield together! She's using dark magic,
it’s too much for me!" Patrea added.

‘Lucy, Stone, prepare to hit the witch. I will stop Patrea’s shield!’ I linked them both, and Lucy rejected
my idea, but I made up my mind.

We couldn’t just stand there and let Patrea protect us while Lucien was gaining back his strength.



I nodded my head at Lucija and Stone, and jumped at Patrea, snaking my arms around her body while
making sure my back was the one facing Zelda.

"Aaaaah!"

Patrea screamed as a big explosion came out, and I knew it hit my back at the same time I pushed
Patrea’s body away from me.

My mind went black for a few seconds as blood oozed out of my mouth.

But instead of feeling weak, I felt a surge of power rising in my chest.

I gripped the ground dust as I pushed myself up, coughing blood from my mouth as my head tilted to
look around —fire, ice, and lightning were shooting everywhere.

The fight had just begun.

Zelda, the witch was throwing lightning at every one of us. She was too strong, maybe it was the dark
magic that was doing it.

"Ahhh!"

I dodged after my fireball missed her and she aimed triple lightning my way.

"No! Not Lucija!!!!"

My father screamed at the witch when Zelda almost hit me.

I knew my father was trying to protect me because I would be his death as well, but I didn’t expect him
to fire a ball of fire directly into Zelda’s chest as soon as he was free of his bind.

He killed his own ally.



The witch dropped dead before our eyes, and Patrea couldn’t suppress the gasp from leaving her lips.

Adan placed me behind him again, and I wanted to kick him! Of all of us here, I was the only one
Lucien would never hit with his power.

"He will never hit me!"

I hissed at Adan before standing before him, but Adan was already firing ice at Lucien, which he was
blocking off with his fire, so I decided to just join in, even when I could hear Patrea scrambling on her
feet as she helped Lucius, who was still crawling to the ground.

Soon, Father tried to hit the direction where Lucies and Patrea were, but I built an ice globe around
them.

Eventually, it melted as more demons popped out of nowhere.

My father had summoned his army! "Do not touch, Lucija!"

He roared, and I knew I should be the one managing those demons because they would hesitate to hit
me so I left Adan and Lucius to hold off Lucien while I killed the demons appearing in the cave.

Patrea was also chanting, and some demons just disappeared as soon as they arrived.

"Where are you taking them?" I asked her as I moved closer to her, so we were back to back with each
other.

"I don't know. Some place I'd seen before but I included they would not be able to return here."

"Smart move. But shit, they kept coming!"

I kept mumbling and telling Patrea to keep going.



"Lucija, it’s not yet too late to come back to me! Did you see how I protected you from Zelda?"

Lucien’s voice reached my ears.I rolled my eyes.

You killed her to protect yourself.But I didn’t say that.

"Stop! I was never yours, so there’s no coming back!"

I retorted without looking at my father and continued fighting off the demons around us.

Lucien was able to get away from his bind and killed his own witch in an instant just because she threw
lightning at Lucy.

He was willing to kill everyone except her, but of course, we knew all the reasons why.

The whole place was exploding with lights and electricity as Lucien threw fireball after fireball while
summoning his demon guards to appear in the cave.

They just kept growing in numbers despite Lucy and Patrea’s attempts to kill and attack them.

If I thought rogue attacks and pack wars were a hell of a fight, they were nothing compared to what I
was experiencing right now. I was, for real, in hell.

The whole place was blazing with fire, but despite the flames touching my skin, I didn’t feel any burns
at all.

My adrenaline was pumped up, and I could feel Lucius’ getting stronger.

I wanted to believe we got this, and that we would win.

LUCY.



When Lucien realized he would not get anything from me, he turned his attention to Lucius instead.

"You are a pathetic excuse for a demon! You’re enraged, but I can’t feel your power!"

But he was wrong, a surge of power grew around me, but I knew it didn’t come from me.

Or Adan and it was matching his aura.

I threw ice and covered three demons with it before Patrea deported them somewhere else and tilted
my head to look where the power was coming from.

Fire engulfed Lucius’ body as his eyes blazed so darkly red that they were almost black.

His power made me flinch, and I felt his aura was now stronger than my father’s in just a matter of a
second.

I knew the only one who could match the king’s aura would be the one who he would leave his throne
with, and that was why Lucius was asking for it.

But no transfer of power happened yet.

But there was also the one that was what the Orpheus prophesied - the rightful heir of Kalmerus.

Is Lucius the rightful one? Because if not, why does he have a stronger aura than Lucien now? How
about me? But I didn’t care about myself.

My aura might be strong, but maybe it wasn’t me.

And when the Orpheus mentioned that it was someone Lucien would never expect - it was not his
daughter, but his weakest son.



Lucius might have realized what was happening, and so did Adan, and we all got stuck in the middle,
looking at each other.

"No!"

Patrea shrieked, and it made my heart stop.

Four fireballs were aiming for Patrea from different directions, including the one let out by Lucien.

I managed to blast off the demons who cast the fireballs, but it didn’t stop the fire from heading in her
direction.

"No!"

I screamed as my whole body shook, but it was drowned out by the roar that came out of Lucius’ throat
before he disappeared and appeared where Patrea was.

In a split second, Patrea’s body appeared next to me, but Lucius remained where they were and took
the hit from all the fireballs aimed at Patrea! n.o.v.e.l.e.b.o.o.kThe hit blasted the whole cave but Adan
was fast enough to build an ice globe around the three of us, protecting us from being blown up as it
did to the demons around us except Lucien and Lucius.

"Lucius!"

I screamed, but I had no idea if what I was hearing was mine or Patrea’s.

I blasted off the globe Adan had created, and my heart stopped at the scene in front of me.

Luscius was bleeding on the ground.

His black blood was pooling all around him as his body had too many holes and his heart was ripped
open.



I got stuck in my spot while Patrea rushed to where he was.

My eyes darted to my father - he was on the ground and had all the same injuries that Lucius had.

I was right.

Lucius was the rightful heir all along.

Tears streamed down my face as Lucien reached his hand up to me, regret flitting in his eyes and I
knew his only regret was not knowing Lucius was the rightful heir of Kalmerus - the son who was there
for him all along, the one he disregarded all the time.

"Heal Lucius."

He pleaded and I watched as Lucien built a barrier around him, protecting himself from any power a
man could imagine.

I shoot fireballs and ice spikes at him, but they disappear upon reaching his shield.

My whole body shook in anger and disappointment as I looked at Adan - healing Lucius meant Lucien
would get to live.

"I can heal Lucius, Lucy. Just give me the go signal..."

Adan murmured as he cupped my tear-stricken face.
