Saint of Arias

Lucas tried to be as considerate as possible, he is very aware that Rene is in the middle of several dilemmas at that precise moment, there are several hooded figures outside his house and a stranger enters, in addition to naming himself as his protector

Lucas moved and looked out the window.

Although leaving as quickly as possible is the most logical response in this situation, Lucas nevertheless decided to stay and wait a moment longer to observe, in his mind he still has the doubt of how it was possible that they destroyed his barrier, and he also wanted to know who you were those who were trying to get in

-Change your clothes, you should wear something comfortable- Lucas said without looking at Rene, who was sitting on the floor.

Rene had several things on her mind, but she could hear Lucas's words clearly, she stood up unsteadily and entered a room.

Many things were on Lucas' mind, and the development of this situation bothered him. From the little he observed, he was able to come to the conclusion that they were some type of sect or religious organization, but above all, those words that they constantly repeated also became relevant.

-Saint of Arias-

They were referring to Rene that way and Lucas couldn't understand the reason behind that, Lucas knew that Rene is a gem and she, as such, has a lot of relevance in the world and its balance.

Did they want to kill her? Did they want to kidnap her? These are questions that bloom in your mind

But the strangest thing of all is that the city seems deserted as if all the inhabitants had disappeared.

-I don't like this- Lucas mutters and frowns.

While he was saying that, he heard a door open and footsteps began to echo.

-I'm ready...- Rene said nervously, her gaze was fixed on Lucas's back, and he had several feelings mixing inside her.

She was relieved, but at the same time she was scared of Lucas, having never seen him before, it's obvious that she would be scared.

Lucas turned to look at Rene.

-You need to know two things, never let go of me and follow all the orders I give you, do you understand? -

-Yes – Rene responded

-Good – Lucas said before placing his left hand on Rene's waist and bringing her body closer to him.

Almost instantly Rene's face turned red. She was very embarrassed but still, she did not refuse.

Lucas made a hole in the ceiling and levitated out with Rene

Of course Rene's eyes widened, it was the first time for her that she had seen something like that, although she was a fan of fantasy stories, he never imagined that she herself would experience something similar.

She lived alone in that house that was an inheritance from her late parents who had died almost a decade ago.

Right now, Rene, at 28 years old, was an ordinary worker who lived her day-to-day life without major problems, but all that ended whether she wanted it or not.

Lucas began to rise stealthily while holding Rene tightly but suddenly he felt a considerable amount of energy that was concentrating a few meters from his current location, it was not big enough to worry too much, but it was a type of strange energy that I had never felt before

Lucas was filled with amazement when he realized what the origin of the energy he had felt was.

He was a tall and muscular man, who walked slowly, energy leaked from his body and was dispersed in the air, Lucas analyzed him but did not find anything out of the ordinary, he was a human with energy, although it was rare to find humans of that type, It wasn't the first time Lucas had encountered one.

 Without thinking much more about it, Lucas decided to walk away from the place with Rene in his arms, however something stopped him.

-It couldn't be that easy - Lucas said as he looked towards the ground.

The tall, muscular man had his hands in the air pointing towards Lucas and Rene.

-You better give up, you little son of a bitch-

A strange force had stopped the movements of Lucas and especially Rene who, upon feeling her rigid body, a primordial fear began to emerge in his heart.

-Deliver to the Saint- Said the muscular man

As the muscular man said that Lucas felt several bloodlust directed towards him.

He observed the situation carefully, there were more than 50 presences that were directly hostile towards him, not to mention the muscular man who was stopping him.

-Who are you?- Lucas asks

-You can call me inquisitor- The inquisitor responded after a few seconds.

-That means you are with the Vatican - Lucas said trying to get answers.

After all, the Vatican is the only organization that has inquisitors among its ranks.

-I'm afraid you are not qualified to know that –

-With shit, it's obvious that you are with the Vatican, only the Pope would deploy a shit like you who can be found in any pigsty-

Lucas sought to provoke the inquisitor, although they are all different from each other, they have something in common, they are absurd believers in the faith, you just need to insult them a little to obtain good results.

-You… piece of shit – The inquisitor said as he shook with anger.

-That? Are you angry you little fucking bastard? Better grab your ass and get out of here - Lucas said bluntly.

-Kill him!- The inquisitor shouted

Lucas enjoyed seeing the inquisitor's reactions, however he couldn't waste any more time.

-Everyone, get on the ground- Lucas said in a soft voice.

A large amount of pressure was emanated by Lucas causing everyone around him to fall to their knees to the ground, of course Lucas had used the King's pressure to subdue them without much problem, he could obtain the same result if he suddenly increased his energy, but that It would be exhausting, but the biggest difference is that using King's Pressure did not require energy, it directly attacked the enemy's soul and produced terror that could not be avoided no matter how hard they tried.

-Hum... now where is your arrogance?- Lucas said as he levitated towards the inquisitor.

-Close your eyes and cover your ears with your hands, don't open them until I call you- Lucas said towards Rene.

Rene flinched upon hearing Lucas but he nodded his head in response and did as he was asked.

Lucas dropped Rene to the ground and surrounded her with an energy barrier to protect her.

The inquisitor who was looking at Lucas as he approached him couldn't help but shudder.

-How many of you are there? I can count 50 besides you, but is that so? - Lucas stopped in front of the inquisitor who was kneeling or could not raise his gaze.

-Kh…-

-That?-

-Fuck you!- the inquisitor shouted.

Lucas nodded pleased to hear his response, he did not expect to get answers easily.

-I understand, that's how things are, you don't leave me any other option-

As he said that, ice swords began to appear above the heads of everyone who was hostile to Lucas.

The inquisitor's eyes widened as he saw ice swords suddenly appear in the sky.

-This is simple, for every second that passes, one by one they will die and of course it is up to you to save them-

Lucas smiles and continues talking

-I will count to the number 50, of course if you answer everything I want they will not die –

-Bastard...- The inquisitor ground his teeth in anger.

-Oh, that's one-

An ice sword fell on the head of one of the inquisitor's companions, blood began to spill out and the ice sword slowly turned a blood color.

-Kuh…-

-Well, there are 49 left, let's start - Lucas said, sounding happy.

-How many of you are there?- After asking Lucas began to count.

-2 3 4-

Three ice swords fell, decapitating 3 more of the inquisitor's companions.

-We are 200-

-Was it so difficult to answer a question?-

The inquisitor did not respond and Lucas resumed the count.

-5 6 7 8 9-

Five ice swords fell, decapitating 5 of the inquisitor's companions, pools of blood began to spill on the ground.

-No- answered the inquisitor.

-Good, very good, I'm glad you're cooperative- Lucas nodded satisfied.

-Do you really promise to set us free?- Asks the inquisitor.

-Of course, I always keep my promises to good people –

Lucas was smiling but his cold eyes said the opposite, the inquisitor felt as if he were in the presence of an executioner, the person in front of him should not be provoked, it was his arrogance that led him to that situation.

-I will answer all your questions – Said the inquisitor as he looked at Lucas

-Who is the Saint of Arias and why are they looking for that girl?-

- The saint of Arias is one of the pillars that support this world, in the ancient scriptures, it was mentioned that in the era in which they appeared, an era of chaos would come to this world, it would mark the beginning, the day of judgment, the apocalypse and the reason we are looking for that girl is to preserve the world and its stability–

Lucas listened to the inquisitor but could not fully understand what he was referring to.

-Did they want to lock them up and keep them away from the world?-

It is the only conclusion that Lucas could reach after listening to it, there were many who surrounded the house of a simple girl and he felt that something was missing.

-No, the saints are a symbol of Faith and power, it is impossible to lock them up-

-What were they going to do with them?-

The inquisitor frowned and did not respond. Lucas, noticing this, resumed counting.

-10 11-

-They wanted his power for themselves!- The inquisitor shouted in response.

-How?- Lucas asks

-Saints can give power to a single person and make them invincible, at the same time their offspring have great potential for growth –

Hearing that, a feeling of anger began to arise in Lucas

-They are cattle for you-

Upon hearing Lucas's response, the inquisitor shuddered.

Lucas couldn't imagine a good outcome when listening to the answers he gave. Offspring? Give power? That's no different from using them as tools, they probably wanted to make them give birth until they couldn't take it anymore.

For a moment Lucas imagined Lilith running the same danger, her body shook and an unfathomable amount of anger surfaced in her heart, holding his feelings inside of him, Lucas continued.

-Do you have other Saints with you?- Lucas asks

-At this precise moment they should be on their way to the Saint of Rhodes- The inquisitor responded.

-I see... That means they are capturing all the Saints-

The inquisitor nodded.

-I see, thank you for your answers- Lucas thanked

He stopped emitting his King pressure and turned around to walk towards Rene.

When the inquisitor saw that, he was stunned and could not understand what was happening, but he had survived, the only thing he wanted to do was go back and report his discovery, although it is a shame not to get to the Saint, she would still carry useful information, however , none of that was possible

-You know, it's better not to leave trash on the floor- Lucas stopped and looked towards the inquisitor.

-They don't deserve to live-

As if that were a sign, all the ice swords fell and decapitated everyone around them, the ground was dyed crimson, the air smelled of iron and a sign of death weighed on everything.

The inquisitor was shocked, but before he could even say anything else, his head flew through the sky, the last thing he saw was a man who appeared to be in his 20s with a smile and an icy gaze that looked directly at him. eyes

Lucas had beheaded the inquisitor

-It smells like iron- Rene said as he frowned.

He still kept his eyes closed even though he wanted to open them. He kept his promise to Lucas.

He still had to find 150 more enemies but he had no time to waste

Lucas moved towards Rene.

-Don't open your eyes yet-

Lucas did not want to show him the grotesque sight he had caused, decapitated bodies and blood spilling on the floor, it was not a pleasant sight and even less so for a person like Rene who had lived as an ordinary human.

Lucas took her in his arms like a princess and began to fly in the direction of Ataraxia.

While he was flying with Rene, Lucas tried to communicate with Lilith using her bond as a medium.

-Lilith-

Instantly he got a response.

[Lucas?]

-I need you to contact Anastasia and ask her to go as quickly as possible to Rhodes in Greece-

[Greece?!]

-Yes, I'm not sure if what the inquisitor said is true, but they should be capturing a Saint in Rhodes-

[Inquisitor? Did you fight against the Vatican?]

After hearing Lilith's response, Lucas hesitated.

-Something like that…-

[You are aware of what you are doing!]

-Yeah…-

Lucas can't blame Lilith for getting angry, after all, the Vatican is one of the largest organizations on earth, although he left no survivors to see him directly...

After being silent for a few seconds, Lilith responded

[Lucas…] her voice sounded cold and icy

[Who is with you?]

Lucas's gaze went directly to Rene who still had his eyes closed and covered her ears with his hands as best he could.

-Err, with a saint?-

[You are dead]

Lilith cut the connection
