I Love Destroying Worlds' Plot

Chapter 1019: 16.65 First Red Star - Breaktime

”Greetings to the Holy Son!”The two disciples of the Cardinals greeted.

Even at the former Templar Temple, the two direct disciples of Cardinals Lemuel Elon and Darius Rueden were highly recognized. Carrie Lane and Dali Osborne are the two Cardinalsʼ first disciples, with Carrie studying under Darius Rueden and Dali studying under Lemuel Elon.

Asher Light said, ”You guys are... Car and Dal!”

”We heard that you came to the Academy, why didnʼt you come to us right away? Are you guys alright?! We saw what happened to the Temple! Where are your masters!?” Esther Dawn asked continuously leaving Asher Light who was the first to open his mouth unable to ask any questions lingering at the tip of his tongue.

Amber Dawn pulled away her brother and said, ”Brother, please calm down. I donʼt think that your friendsʼ complexions are good.”

”What? Iʼm sorry. Did I hurt you!?” Esther Dawn checked on the two priests and saw they were unharmed and finally relieved as he calmed down at the moment.

Priest Carrier Lane said, ”Iʼm alright, Your Highness, Lord Mayonaka, and Lord Esther. It was all thanks to Master Lem that we are still alive.”

He and Dali could scarcely hold back their emotions as they remembered their Master Lemuelʼs pale visage the day before we left, as well as the image of him spewing blood. They realized they could only get out of there before it turned into hell because of Cardinal Lemuel Elon. Master Lemuel constructed the massive teleportation array, which is intended to be operated by two persons, and he even placed a protective spell on Cardinal Darius Rueden to keep them safe. There were some perilous times, but owing to the spell Cardinal Lemuel left behind, they made it to the Genus Academy with just minor injuries.

Priest Dali Osborne glanced at Esther Dawn which made Mayonaka Yoru frown. Of course, he knew why this young priest looked at his beloved. The reason the two cardinals were injured was because of the attack Luciel Dawn had done on the day he escaped.

Mayonaka Yoru looked a bit serious and stared at the two priests with warning in his eyes, ”For your information, Uncle Lucy had no intention of harming anyone aside from the room of the Pope. That attack wasnʼt enough to kill that old bastard and was just to destroy the spells on the walls. It was your teachers who chose to block it with their own bodies!”

”We are not going to blame Lord Esther, not you as well, Lord Mayonaka. If we want to blame someone then it can only be the Pope. He put a Slave Gu in our Mastersʼ bodies.” Dali Osborne said he couldnʼt control the tight grip on his hand.

”WHAT!?”Amber Dawn and his group exclaimed.

They only recently learned what Gu is. While Gu was employed to prolong life or as a medicinal, it also had numerous negative applications. Slave Gu is one of them, and it is the worst sort since the person who was implanted with it had his life in the hands of the person who planted the Gu. Who would have guessed that the Pope they look up to would utilize something so heinous? But, after seeing how this Pope Kenan Light had fallen, they quickly discovered that this guy was filled with infinite avarice and lofty aspirations.

Athan Vladimir said, ”That Slave Gu... Isnʼt that the type that canʼt be removed unless the owner of the Mother Gu removes it himself?”

”There is another way. You only need to Transfer the Gu in another or a new vessel it can house in but.... didnʼt you say that both cardinals have some Slave Gu in their bodies. A Slave Gu can only be planted in a single body and never in a body with another Gu.” Conri Lycaon said.

Esther Dawn frowns and asks, ”Why is that?”

”Because two Gu would fight for territory and will result in the vessel being eaten alive from the inside. No wonder in the video Cardinal Lemuel had become undead. He had already died from the two Slave Gu in his body.” Mayonaka Yoru said.

Priest Dali Osborne asked in disbelief, ”W-Why? How can you know such a thing?”

”It is simple. If Cardinal Darius has a Gu it is impossible for him to separate from its sibling Gu. The pain would be unbearable as a Slave Gu is timid by nature unless their territory is breached.” Mayonaka Yoru explained.

Asher Light said, ”Okay. Enough of this topic. Car, Dali, what are you guys going to do next? I am willing to protect you and Cardinal Darius if you wish to.”

”We wanted to fight as well. The founder had told us to join the training starting tonight.” Carrie Lane said.

Esther Dawn asked, ”Where are you guys staying right now?”

”The founder allowed us to stay in his church, which seems modest from the outside but was much larger than the Main Temple in our previous home!” Carrie Lane explained. Serving the church is a priestʼs duty. It is a dream come true for their children to be allowed to dwell in the domain where the Demigod lives.

Only then did Asher Light recollect that his present lord is the creator of the Templar Temple and a Demigod who guards their world. Now he knows why they were being taught, and it even involves Duke Luther and Randall Ruid, who were under Instructor Skoll and Headmaster Cassius.

Dali Osborne seems to be also satisfied with where they live right now and said, ”Itʼs not bad. The Holy Son should visit the place too. In this territory, that place had the strongest area where the Light Elements gather.”

”I will if I have time.” Asher Light said.

The healers took their leave after completing their tasks while the students dispersed to have their meals before the evening training began.

---

Amber and Esther Dawn had established a routine to invite their friends home during their lunch break and share a meal together. The group travels to the Guest Region and visits the Dawn familyʼs mansion. As they arrived, however, they were surprised to see vampires from the Daybreak Clanʼs clans such as the Blade Clan and others. When Luciel Dawn is working in the kitchen, they appear to be reporting something to Thana Daybreak.

”Let me talk to Lord Luther and the Progenitor first. At least tell your clans to be prepared...”

Amber Dawn said as she entered the house, ”Mom, Dad weʼre back. Whatʼs for lunch?”

”My babies you are back. Wait a bit for Mom to finish something. Help your dad in the kitchen.” Thana Daybreak said as she asked Alaric Blade and some more vampires of noble lineage to follow her in the study.

”Greetings to the Vampire Princess!”

On the way, these vampires all greeted Amber Dawn respectfully and even lowered their heads before her. She is the next heir to their whole race after all. As the only Pureblood Vampire Princess, the other vampires treat her like Duke Luther.

”Hello Uncles and Aunts please go ahead and donʼt mind me.” Amber Dawn had become accustomed to their polite approach and did not treat them differently until they had done something wrong. She joined the others in the kitchen and assisted Papa Dawn in bringing out the plates.

During meals, the family and guests had a conversation...

Esther Dawn asked, ”Dad, Mom, did you know about the fall of the Templar Temple?”

The couple looked at each other with startled looks and then turned to look at their son and the other children seated with them at the same table.

Luciel Dawn said, ”How did you guys know about that? Someone told you?”

”The instructors told us in our first class. Theyʼve also shown the recording of the current events in that area.” Mayonaka Yoru said.

Thana Daybreak said, ”If itʼs Lord Luther then itʼs possible for them to already know everything happening outside the Academy. It is true that the Templar Temple was destroyed by the Kenan Light who had become a devil. Worse of all, he started conquering the lands around his original domain. Our race is having a meeting. The topic of whether to move here to the academy or use protective measures in the original territory. Right now, the votes were in equal half.”

”What about Uncle Alaric and others?” Amber Dawn asked.

Luciel Dawn said, ”They agree to move their clans here. But the problem is... There arenʼt any words from the Progenitor so we cannot suddenly move all of them in.”

”Your Dad and I are planning to meet the Headmaster and Instructor Skoll later for this plan. Donʼt worry, just focus on your training.” Thana Daybreak said.

Luciel Dawn looked at Mayonaka Yoru and said, ”Yoru, get that book in the study. The one that shows information about the Devils. You guys should at least need to know the weakness of each devil and recognize the difference in rank.”

Mayonaka Yoru left the table after finishing his meal and walked up to the study and got the book his master is asking him to take out. He now lives with the Dawn Family as Esther Dawnʼs fiance after all just the fact Esther Dawn likes this man and that he is Yoruʼs Luna was enough to allow them to be together. After giving the books to the children they see them off to their next class.

Luciel Dawn said, ”Read the book before you start the evening training. For now, focus on the devilʼs weakness. Do your best!”

”Yes!”

The students took their leave. There is still some time before the next class so their small group gathers in some cafes and reads the book. There they learned about the classification and ranking of the devil.

Athan Vladimir read aloud what was written in the book, ”Lesser Demon, Demon Infant, Demon Soldier, Demon Commander, Demon Lord, Demon King, Archdemon, Demon God, and Primordial Demon. What is this ranking? How come there is already a Demon God? If so how strong is a Primordial Demon?!”

”Demon God had the strength equal that of a Demigod. It means this is how strong Instructor Keylan Light is. But how about my dad, which of these is he in?” Conri Lycaon mumbled.

Mayonaka Yoru commented, ”I donʼt know much about his current strength but he used to be at least a Demon King before.”

”How did you know?” Conri Lycaon asked as he stared at this werewolf who posed himself as half-blood but obviously not one.

A grin appeared on Mayonaka Yoruʼs face and said, ”He told me before he died.”

Everyone began with what they heard from Mayonaka Yoru, whose remarks plainly indicated that he had a link with the former Werewolf Ancestor. Conri Lycaon, on the other hand, was perplexed. For some reason, he thought he had seen Mayonaka Yoru someplace, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldnʼt recall anything and his head hurt.

Hmph!

Everyone gazed at the two from the same race who donʼt get along for whatever reason.

Mayonaka Yoru is the groupʼs elder member, although he often teases Conri Lycaon as if testing his patience. Meanwhile, Conri Lycaon couldnʼt hold his cool in front of Yoru; he can choose to ignore him, but he canʼt completely ignore him. Itʼs the same as saying that no matter how much your elder brother irritates you, you canʼt ignore him or her all the time. That sort of sensation.

Esther Dawn, who was previously aware of the twoʼs connection, grabbed his loverʼs waist and murmured, ”Be serious, Yoru.”

Hissed!

”Ah! I will. I will. Pudding, it hurts!” Mayonaka Yoru said.
