Chapter 209 - To The South
Vesta breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Desmond and his soldiers left the room as he leaned his back on the sofa. The tense room also became calm with only him and his daughter left.
But before Vesta could enjoy the moment, he turned around and saw his daughter absentmindedly staring at him.
Upon seeing the look in his daughter's eyes, Vesta sighed as he immediately understands what happened. "Come here, my princess." Vesta spoke affectionately while looking at her subtly.
Instead of replying, Vesta saw his daughter sit across from him without saying a word. He stretched his neck tiredly as he spoke, "I know, I'm sorry about that.. please forgive me, okay ?" He pleaded with a faint smile.
How could he not understand his daughter's behavior? After hearing their stories and full reports, she must have been in shock. But he does this all for her safety. After all, which father wants their daughter to suffer?
Upon hearing this, Diana opened her mouth with a reluctant and troubled expression. "Okay," She answered doubtfully as if she understands, but the gleam in her eyes tells that she still wanted to know more details.
The more Vesta looked at his daughter's expression of confidence and persistence, the more reminded him of his past self. She really looks like me, he thought.
Vesta knew a sweet word no longer worked to convince his daughter. But the way she demands slightly resembled her mother's, Vesta added as he chuckled.
The smile on Vesta's face grew wider, but upon looking carefully, there was a seriousness in his eyes, "You're still young and weak; this isn't the time yet, whereas that brat is only lucky to have survived death, if not for the mercenary's sacrifice." Vesta stated as he knows all too well his daughter's weak point.
And he is really lucky, Vesta thought while observing his daughter's expression.
Diana looked uncomfortable, with her face twitching and her eyes sinking in disappointment. Her thoughts of looking down at Desmond's power and mocking him secretly resurfaced and seemed to merge with her father's words.
No father, he is strong, I don't know where this feeling came from after he left immediately I noticed my sense trembling, telling he was strong, Diana muttered inwardly as she didn't dare to speak a word when her father was a 3rd class Swordsman with his a sharp hearing.
But still, this is based on her premonition as she not sure about his power; she can't judge him without fighting. "Then... between me and him.. who is stronger?" Even though Diana knew the result, she can't help but ask with her shaky voice.
A look of expectation appears in her eyes. Deep in her heart, she was hoping her judgment was incorrect as she staring at her father. But what her father said next completely shattered her pride.
Even though Vesta doted his daughter affectionately, but when it comes to power, he can't give her a sweet dream. "Isn't that obvious? The boy is stronger than you," Upon seeing his daughter almost shed a tear, he added, "Still, it's not impossible to you to achieve."
Instantly, Diana's expression, which had looked full of despair, began to regain her color as she saw a bit of ray of hope from her father.
For Diana, her father's words are absolute, and he already proved by standing at the peak of humanity and having a Guardian position. This is why she put full trust in the words of her father.

But after thinking about it again, how to get stronger? She believes her skills had reached a bottleneck and believed that there was no room for improvement. To get stronger, she only knew one method by increasing her energy capacity, but it was almost impossible as she didn't even hear the people successfully became a 1st class wizard/ witch at the age of 15 without a trait.
With she had lowered her head in shame, now she looked her father in the eye and asked in confusion, "Father, how do I become stronger? Unlike before now, I'm confident of winning completely against that rounded ball!
"Isn't I have been strong enough? but when compared to that boy...."
Vesta blinked his eyes, "Isn't that obvious? This is the reason why you came to the academy." Seeing the disappointed look on his daughter's face, Vesta rebuked, "Don't underestimate knowledge, for a Witch, spells are the key to strength."
Although he likes his daughter's spirit to get stronger, in the end, she is a woman. One day, his daughter will marry and become someone's wife.
Only thinking about this alone has made Vesta heartache. Instantly, the boy's face flashed back into his mind, he clenched his fist. Putting aside work related to the investigation of him, he still held a personal grudge against him for winning his daughter's heart.
That brat, I'll make sure to punish him if he dared to touch my daughter! Vesta grumbled inwardly.
When Diana just realized the solution was very simple, she snorted and looked away. "Hmph," But it was seen her face was red due to embarrassment. She then snapped, "Father stupid!" While pouting and get out of the room.
"Ah." Vesta gasped. Seeing his daughter's departure with affection, he then curved his lips upwards, making him grin happily at his daughter's sweet behavior.
While Desmond's journey had just gone through a great battle, another battle took place in the humans' kingdom's southern region.

-The southern region of saint world-
Far from the fertile human land in the northern region, there is a view of dry, barren land covering this area with several cracks that look like they will crumble if stepped on.
With dry land, the water that should have flowed from the sea became the resting place of a dangerous beast. The trees in this area also died, with only the trunk remaining without any decorative leaves
Far in the western part of this region, when compared to that barren land, the situation in this area seen a more scary apparition it's nothing in comparison.
The lands on this area were black and seemed more barren, with some lava flowing in every crack along with the black clouds covering the area; it made it seem as if it was hell appearing on the surface.
At the same time, at the border where the land of hell met the barren land, it was seen that several humans were fighting against several human-like figures.
The figures had paler skin, more inclined, say gray, with two horns towering over their heads with tails waving behind their bodies.
"A pack of Serpent Lions! Serpent Lion! ..ahhh!" one of the human soldiers shouted loudly, warning his comrades but "Eh?" Suddenly, his vision shaking with his eyes could even see this battle from above like a bird.
At that moment, from his corner eyes, he saw a familiar body lying on the ground and had already been split in two; his expression became one of shock before finally losing consciousness.
"Noo!!" From a distance, a soldier screamed as he watched his friend's death without being able to help. His eyes then turned blood red, filled with killing intent. It was also seen that his legs suddenly became enlarged with veins bulged out that looked as though they might pop out.
*swoosh*
The soldier darted forward towards his comrade's corpse, sending some pebbles flying over the other human-like figures. Besides that, his agile body also managed to dodge several weapons that were aimed at him
