Chapter 1
It is just another night for magicians to fight against the demon who has come into the human world to make ruckus and bring damage to humans. Sound of wands and swords could have been heard from a far due to the intense fight. Suddenly, a magician shouted from the dark: CALTAIN BE CAREFUL!!! IT IS THE DEMON OF ILLUSIONS. WE ARE STILL FIGHTING THE WARRIORS HE HAS CREATED!!!!!
Captain Theodoros with a straight face: I already caught him. If you could be just silent then I might be able to finish him quickly.
Magician who looks scared sighed in a relief as he knows even if his captain is nonchalant and expressionless all the time, he is a genius when it comes to magic and fight.
Captain Theodoros: I advise you to stop playing your tricks and give in. I might let you go back to your demon world. Tell me how many demons have entered the human world ?
Demon of illusions who was tied by the magic rope captain Theodoros created: Oh Captain of Magic tower, you do live up to your name. You caught me but do you really think I will die from magic ? Hahaha you really think I am the demon of illusion for nothing.
Captain Theodoros’s eyes frowned a bit thinking: He is creating some problems but I am sure I won’t loose to this grade 2 demon. If he has chosen this place to come out, it means he knew the consequences. Damn it! Screw these smart grade 2 demons. I will try to get some information from him.
Captain Theodoros: I know why you chose this place and I also know how to kill you.
Demon of illusions smirked: You really think I will tell you that ? But since I have taken a liking to you, I will generously show you your type of woman. I am also curious what kind of woman would make the strongest Theodoros, change expression.
A sudden grey smog covered the surroundings and before captain could react, a sword with shinny golden mana around it, came with an insane speed flying towards him and landed on demon of illusions to kill him. Captain Theodoros’s eyes were filled with curiosity and turned towards the direction to see the person who could yield a sword with such capabilities. He is curious as he has never seen such a person in this city. In the smog, all he could see was shinning golden eyes and long hair moving in the direction wind. From the silhouette, he could imagine a girl wearing combat shoes reaching her knees, a white pair of shirt and pant which seems to be the dress code of holy knights but he has never seen a knight’s dress with golden lining on it. While he is trying to figure out the situation, that girl walked towards him too fast as if she teleported. All magicians were shocked at the speed and they knew they are not a match if she starts a fight.
Captain’s assistant Claud let out a heavy breathe he was holding unconsciously: Captain Theo, we all are counting on you to fight both at once, I mean only this lady knight since the demon of illusions is already taken care of thanks to her.
Demon of illusions: Oh captain you look mesmerised and it’s not even my illusion.
Captain Theodoros stopped and blushed at his words. The girl smiled at him as if showing friendly curtesy. The smog was completely gone as the demon of illusions lost his power. Captain stole another glance at the girl, who’s hair are sky-blue colored as a spring day sky, eyes golden colored with a hint of orange as if the sun is shinning in her eyes, her small red lips looked attractive when she smiled and Theo was wondering how could such a delicate looking person wield sword far better than any man standing here.
Assistant Claud quickly walked towards Theo and whispered to Theo: Captain Theo I know her. I have seen her once in the imperial palace, she is Althea Eleni Grivas, captain of holy knights. I have heard not many people know about her as she only goes out when she has to kill demons otherwise she stays with holy knight.
Captain Theo: but here you are still alive and kicking. Assistant Claud: Captain Theo you are in the mood to joke ?Captain Theo with a straight face: I never joke about death. Demon of illusions with an angry face: How could you be here ? You are not suppose to protect this city, you are rivals with the magicians, why are you helping them ?Althea while running her fingers through her hair to brush them back from her face: If you are dumb, that’s not my fault. And what with this attitude, you will die soon.
Althea was smiling and waved at the magician in a friendly manner. All magician without thinking waved back with a smile as they were watching two attractive people standing side-by-side which is a rare occurrence. Althea moved her hand to command her sword to pierce through the demon’s heart from distance and demon of illusions died and vanished in a black smoke. She killed him on spot as she doesn’t want to leave a chance to the demon to create a curse before dying.
Althea explained to Theo: This demon can only die with holy mana and it is near to impossible to kill him with magic. He needs to be purified with holy mana. For this reason, I came here without any prior notice, please pardon my intrusion magicians.
Althea apologized as politely as she could while placing her hand on her left chest with a slight bow. All magicians were amazed that captain of holy knights is such a beautiful and humble person. She is really the light of a warm sun as her name says.
Althea lifted her head when all magicians started shouting no, captain Althea we are glad that you came, you should come by often.
Looking the enthusiastic magicians Althea smiled and Theo was giving an unbelievable look that they never thanked him this warmly before.
Althea while looking at Theo: So this is the Captain of rumours, he looks pretty cool but really nonchalant. His black hair and blue eyes reminds of ocean, ah! how long has it been since I last felt the calmness of the ocean. He looks reliable and gentle as his name says but serious. These magicians must be having it tough and she let out a little grin.
All magicians have always been curious about the holy mana of knights but since they have a history of rivalry, they never get to ask and see it up-close. They were asking Althea a lot of questions and Althea is patiently answering them one-by-one. Theo noticed the questions would never end so he decided to interrupt the magicians for Althea to rest from questions but suddenly a magician asked
Captain Althea I have heard holy mana takes at least 5-10 minutes to purify any demonic energy as strong as demon of illusions so how did you do it in seconds ?
Althea was caught off guarded with such a good question: You must be really good at researching and you are right. It takes that much time for other knights. I have far more holy mana than any great knight.
At the same time, knight Max came running and with a proud face said: of course don’t you know, goddess herself chose captain as her vessel and crowned her as captain of holy knights. She yields a soul sword which is the only one in this world.
All magicians are wearing an expression of admiration and at the same time, Theo is admiring her kind nature as if all those power are secondary to her smile.
Knight Max was exhausted while breathing heavily: Captain how can you run so fast ??? No no it’s not even running, at this point this is teleporting. I can’t keep up with you, I might die someday chasing after you.
Althea: my apologies Max, the situation was serious with the demon of illusions. All magicians nodded at her words as if reassuring Max.
Max: Let’s go Captain Althea. It’s time to greet the emperor. He might have been going crazy at the thought of you denying him entry to the temple haha., that makes me happy for some reason.
Althea with a straight face: Greeting the damn Emperor, I am tired of him crying over every small thing! I am here to see what tricks he is going to pull now. She turned towards magician and Theo to give a bow of goodbye.
Althea: see you soon, magicians and captain Theo.
All magician waved back and looked at each other and burst into laughter. Claud said it must be a cherry on top to work with the captain Althea, she is so funny, I bet only she would dare to say this to emperor. At the same time, Theo chuckled and all magicians couldn’t believe at their sight.
Claud whispered to Theo: Captain don’t worry that knight Max is a student of captain Althea and he is not your rival in love. You go all in to impress her, I am rooting for you.
Hearing this, Theo gave an unbelievable look to Claud and thought so that’s you are worried about. No one can compete with me, wait,.. no, I am going crazy with this idiot’s company day-by-day.
Althea again runaway as if she teleported and knight Max sighed again in pain and said: Goddess Herra is watching captain slow down.
Magician were again laughing at knight Max. All magicians were happy as if today’s fight was a happy event.
