Chapter 42: Lake Arizod
[The Quest [Recapture the town of Noir] has now been completed and the rewards will be distributed]
[New Major Quest: Eradicate all human towns in your territory in preparations for your invasion of Aquinas]
[Reward: Dual Casting]
Once Floid got rid of Artus, this tab showed up in his vision. Dual casting? This was one of the abilities he had as a hero. He could cast two spells at the same time and overwhelm the opponent.
Floid wondered if he could also overlay one spell over another one and even use one spell to change the properties of another spell?Updated from novelbIn.(c)om
Like casing the [Fireball] skill with the [Earth Lance] to create [Flaming Earth Lance]. He would have to test it out later.
On that night, the town of Noir was loud and the streets flowed with enough blood to paint the town red! Out of the three hundred people that lived in the town, there were only fifty people that survived. The vampires captured them and locked them in the same dungeons where the humans used to keep the demons.
The vampires knew that they would need food for a while so that they can get themselves back on their feet and these humans would serve as their food source for a while!
Dragonnel was standing to one side as he waited for Floid. Floid only kept his eyes on the water as he walked toward it. So this is Lake Arizod? Floid already read about this lake in the Rivalle Wiki and he has been waiting for a long time for Dragonnel to find it. Seeing it in the pictures online didn't do it justice at all! It was beautiful!
Beneath this lake was something that he knew he just had to have. The demon sword, Asmodeus. It was the sword of the first demon king that he hid here a long time ago. It would have been impossible to find this place if he didn't have the knowledge of its general location from that wiki. He was glad that Dragonnel found it so easily.
"You did brillinant work, Dragonnel. I didn't think that you would even find it. It's exactly how I thought it would look,"
Floid bent and he allowed the tip of his finger to run along the surface of the water. Dragonnel felt pride fill him when he heard his lord praise him. Dragonnel had to fly for three days straight before he could find this cave and it was only because he had magnificent eyesight as a dragon that he even saw it! It was hidden very deep inside a mountain range and the cave was buried under an entire mountain! The only thing that allowed Dragonnel to find it was that hole on the ceiling that connected to the surface!
Dragonnel didn't know what Floid was looking for in this cave. He only knew that it was important.
Floid needed more power. He could just continue absorbing skills from people but he didn't want to only rely on the system feature of duplicate. What if he ran into a power that he could not copy? He remembered that he couldn't copy Valkyrie's skill when he fought her. He was just lucky that he was stronger than her and that was the reason he won against her so easily! Floid wanted a weapon that would allow him to come out on top even if he is in an unfavorable position, and this sword was perfect!
Floid started to take off his clothes and Dragonnel was shocked! Was his lord actually going inside !?
"My lord! This lake isn't the sort of place you can swim into, there are dangerous creatures inside."
Dragonnel said this with a serious expression but Floid ignored it. Floid already knew what Dragonnel was talking about so he didn't let that worry him. Inside the lake was the home of the mermaids. They were a race of demons that the first demon lord saved a long time ago and they swore to help him protect his sword till the time when a demon Lord would need it again. If Floid goes in there they will definitely try to kill him. The mermaids don't know that he is the demon lord. They are not like regular demons so they can't feel his demonic power. They will think that Floid is just another man they can lure into their kingdom. But Floid didn't need to be bothered. They have a rule about not killing the people who come to try and take the demon sword without letting him meet their Queen. They wouldn't even have a choice.
