Uh, fighting gods?
Honestly, he was a bit nervous at first, but the more he fought, the smoother it went. "Gods" sounded intimidating, but their actual strength was just so-so.
He didn't know how shocking this looked to others, especially to someone like Erica, who came from a mage family living under the shadow of Heretic Gods since childhood.
Being able to defeat a god head-on with such dominance—in Erica's heart, Lucas was already a god.
After Erica finished speaking, she closed her eyes, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed Lucas's lips.
Although Lucas was only fourteen, due to practicing Dragon Slayer Magic, his height had shot up in the last six months.
He was a whole head taller than the sixteen-year-old Erica.
A soft sensation assaulted Lucas's self-control. Immediately after, his self-control collapsed, and his hands gained a mind of their own, becoming disobedient.
Then, everything happened naturally.
Looking at the traces left by their wildness on the bed...
Lucas had to admit, he really wasn't a gentleman, nor was he a saint who could remain unmoved with a beauty in his lap.
He was a man who lusted after wealth and beauty.
Erica leaned into Lucas's arms with a face full of infatuation.
Suddenly, Erica leaned close to Lucas's ear and whispered, "Lucas, how many times has it been for you?"
"Pfft!"
Lucas was startled again by Erica's boldness.
"What... what do you mean how many times? I'm only fourteen."
Hearing this, Erica was delighted. "Then I'm your first woman, and also your First Wife."
"What? First Wife? Can I have more wives?"
"Why not! You are a King! As a King, it's only right for you to have many women."
Lucas's mouth twitched. He had heard foreign women were open, but he didn't expect them to be this open. Of course, open or not, the crimson bloodstain proved that it was this girl's first time too.
Chinese men had a bit of a virgin complex deep down, and Lucas was no exception. If before he was just a man somewhat lusting after Erica's beauty...
After this experience, he truly regarded Erica as his woman.
"By the way, Lucas, how did you get here?"
Lucas explained what happened earlier.
"Pandora?!"
"You know her?"
Erica nodded. "I know. She is the wife of Prometheus's brother, Epimetheus, the goddess who opened the box filled with calamities and a sliver of hope. The ritual of reincarnating Godslayers is managed by her."
"That's why Godslayers are also called the illegitimate children of Epimetheus, or the Sons of the Fool. That's why she called you son."
Lucas said disdainfully, "I never agreed to be her son. She just transferred Verethragna's Authorities to me without my consent."
"Those Authorities aren't very useful to me."
"If you like them, I can help you find a Heretic God and take care of it."
Anyway, these Heretic Gods only brought disasters. Just looking at Verethragna's unscrupulous behavior, one could tell that Demon Kings were gods and gods were Demon Kings.
To humanity, Demon Kings were heroes, Supreme Kings.
Hearing Lucas's words, a happy smile appeared on Erica's face. She shook her head. "It won't work. According to records, there are requirements for the ritual. You must kill the opponent and seize their power using your own strength. Only by offering the life of the god you killed as a sacrifice can you seize the Authority."
"Is that so! Then save up group points to exchange for magic. Those Authorities aren't a big deal anyway."
Erica looked at Lucas with adoration.
If anyone else said this, she would definitely scoff. But coming from Lucas, it was incredibly convincing.
"In the next few days, I'll study the magic of this world properly, then create a set of magic suitable for you."
He wanted to teach Erica directly, but the chat group didn't allow such private transactions.
Hearing Lucas's words, Erica felt incredibly happy. Looking into Lucas's eyes, her love was almost overflowing.
Seeing Erica's gaze, Lucas knew he had to get back to work.
Sigh! What a silly girl!
Just as Lucas prepared to continue the battle.
Buzz—!
The chat group vibrated.
"Hm? Wait, someone @'d me."
Usually, people would just chat in the group when there was nothing important. They only used the @ function when there was something specific.
Hearing this, Erica also opened the chat group panel.
[Rin: Lucas, Lucas-nii, are you there? I have a favor to ask.]
[Lucas: What's wrong, Rin?]
Rin Tohsaka began to explain the situation on her end.
The problem wasn't Rin herself, but her sister, Sakura.
Sakura was her biological sister, one year younger than her, and possessed equally high magical aptitude.
However, a mage family's Magic Crest could generally only be passed down to one heir. So, being a year older, Rin was designated as the heir to the Tohsaka family by their father.
Another mage family, the Matou family, had their magic circuits gradually dying out due to the incompatibility of the land's mana.
The head of the Matou family asked the head of the Tohsaka family—Rin's father—to adopt a child with magic circuits as an heir to continue their lineage.
Rin overheard that her father planned to send her sister Sakura away for adoption. She didn't want Sakura to go to the Matou family. On one hand, she couldn't bear to be separated from her sister. On the other hand, Sakura was so young; separating her from her family was too cruel.
[Erica: "Then Rin, just tell your father you don't want it. Your father should agree."]
[Rin: "I said it, but Father refused, citing the fulfillment of the alliance between the Matou and Tohsaka families, and saying it's for Sakura's own good."]
[Rin: "I can't convince Father at all."]
[Lucas: "Then what do you want me to do?"]
[Rin: "I've thought about it. Lucas-nii, you can come to my house as my teacher and tell Father you're taking me as your disciple."]
