Chapter 249: Racial magic

[At the demon castle's flower garden]

[New Paladin of the demon kingdom, Female paladin point of view]

"This tea break is really what I need right now. Thank you for inviting me" [Druser]

"A break like this is more often than not, a necessity for a ruler. Overworked and you'll collapse one day" [Female paladin]

"Hahaha! You don't have to worry of that ever happening to me. If anything, people like you and Aries will be collapsing from overworking, not me" [Druser]

"If anything, you're actually a hard worker yourself, but not up to the demon noble standard" [Female paladin]

Again, comparing me to Mrs Aries. It's clear as day even for someone new like me, but there's no doubt in my mind, the demon king, Druser is in love with her. So the situation right now is

The Demon Duchess who are in love with King Druser --> King Druser are in love with Mrs Aries --> Mrs Aries ignoring it or simply didn't realize about it --> Love triangle happen --> Mrs Aries find out about her twin daughters still alive --> Mrs Aries decided to quit as the paladin of demon kingdom so that she could start her new life with Kara and Mara in Estel --> King Druser with a heavy heart agreed --> Demon Duchess thinking she finally had a chance to be with King Druser --> Me, a replacement of Mrs Aries appear out of nowhere --> Demon Duchess think I am her new rival

~Ring~

"Please excuse me. I have to take this call" [Female paladin]

"Please continue" [Druser]

Just as plan. Thanks to the demon Lilith for calling me, I excuses myself from our short tea break session, and that's when

(Good luck!) [Female paladin]

~Nod~

As she nodded, the Demon Duchess approach King Druser and join him on a private tea session just between the two of them. Now all that's left is for her to make her advance. She's a succubus after all, so getting a man or two right under her grasp should be a cake walk even for a cold beauty like her. In fact, she looks overly prepared with that elegant choice of light blue dress. A perfect dress for this tea break

(Succubus easily getting a man... I should remove that racist stigma from my mind, especially given my position right now! Anyway...) [Female paladin]

Operation to get the Demon king, Druser fall in love with Demon Duchess: Begin!

[Diana point of view]

I hate people like the serial killer dwarf. People like him who received gifts and talents from god and yet decided to wasted it, or worse, to use it for their own selfishness, they're just the worst. With his intelligence and his power, he could easily become an S rank adventure, even becoming a high ranking knight under me, helping other people out and yet! And yet!

(I don't mind if he act like Ash, at least Ash is "easy" enough to reason with!) [Diana]

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil even more!

"Sigh... Focus Diana, you have enemies to capture" [Diana]

Based on the maps and intel given by the serial killer dwarf, there are around 125 members of the true beastman group including their leader infiltrating this country through various route, from using the dungeon to using the ancient tunnel. Their objectives, as expected, is kidnapping a special elf known as Avery, in which case it is Farhah.

(And with some simple calculation and guessing, the number should be down by half after our efforts to capture them. That, and the fact that the serial killer dwarf had been actively killing them) [Diana]

Futhermore, while the reason is unknown, their loyalty to their leader, the dark lion Simba had plummeted. Also for an unknown reason, they're actually much stronger than previously encounter, as well as they manage to get their hand on something strange, something that can forced them to underwent something they dubbed as enhanced regressed beastly transformation.

(I see, so that's the name the true beastman group are using for this mysterious beastly transformation) [Diana]

Much are still left to be desired in the field of beastly transformation, as for once, not many beastman are able to underwent either evolved or regressed beastly transformation, but some fact from research did come into light.

Ash once said that human doesn't have any sort of racial magic, and in return, the goddess enable human race to use their neutral mana to use a lesser version of each racial magic from each race.

As for the racial magic of the beastman, they're beastly transformation, with evolved focusing more on mana quality and regressed focusing more on physical strength.

(Still, the serial killer dwarf, could it be, he actually discover the racial magic of the dwarf?) [Diana]

It's a topic almost unknown to all. Researchers knew about most racial magic, for example

Elf = Flora and Fauna magic. They're after all commonly referred to as the master of wood and fairies. Ash might be able to use wood magic as well, but nowhere near the level of Flinar and Filvisar

Vampire = life force magic. Alaric can use it pretty neatly

Beastman = Evolved or regressed beastly transformation

Dragonewt = Dragon transformation

The almost extinct giant = Extreme Gigantification

Plus, even in those races, some different ethnicities will have a variation of racial magic. Take Elise for example, in the future, she can access her evolved beastly transformation and become a mythical nine tail fox, one of the many branches available for the fox beastman beastly transformation

But dwarf? Nobody knows... And speaking of the unknown, the demon and the angel race are also another races with an unknown racial magic. Zerolith, Lily, Rafiah, Yefefiah and Seraph, I believe none of them are able to use their racial magic...

(Sure, Rean's friend Lily the succubus have high affinity to mirage magic which allow succubus to use charm magic, but that's not really a racial magic... Anyway, that serial killer dwarf, no doubt about it, all my instinct are telling me that...) [Diana]

"Princess, it's almost time" [Qis]

"Already. Time sure flies when you're deep in thought" [Diana]

"Are you thinking of the serial killer dwarf" [Qis]

"Yes, and my intuition is telling me that he actually uncover the mystery of the dwarf racial magic" [Diana]

"!" [Qis]

But what actually is the nature of dwarf racial magic. What could possibly make him having extreme tenacity, and taking countless fatal injuries without breaking a sweat... Could it be...
