Chapter 292 The Villain Lux

Since he was a child, Silas has awakened the unparalleled ability to perceive magic, and was therefore noticed by the Demon Hunters. He has been serving Demacia loyally, helping the Demon Hunters to hunt down those mages hidden among the people.

Until one day:

He accidentally met a little girl who was infected with magic in the countryside. He wanted to protect the girl from being taken away by the magic hunters, but in the process he accidentally awakened his powerful talent for absorbing magic power, which he could not control.

As a result, Silas's magic power went out of control and killed three people present, including the little girl he wanted to protect and the chief demon hunter who was in charge of disciplining him.

So Silas became a "mage killer who killed superiors and slaughtered girls" - which was true to a certain extent - and was hunted down by the Demon Hunters.

The countless near-death escapes and the subsequent dozen years in prison turned him into the rumored " one of the most dangerous mages in all of Demacia."

Now he can kill without hesitation.

Killing those he felt deserved death, those who persecuted him and his fellow mages.

"Lux Crownguard." This name recently ranked first on Silas' death list.

Put a livestock collar on the mage, just for this, Lux deserves to die.

However, the moment he saw Lux, he realized:

“This woman…”

"She's a mage too?!"

Silas looked at Lux in surprise as she rode into the military camp.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is just a heroic girl in military uniform, but what he "sees" is a bright and shining human-shaped sun.

No, it wasn't just Lacus. The blue-haired girl holding the zither beside her also exuded a strange magical light.

It turns out that the youngest daughter of the Crownguard family, Lux Crownguard, who strongly advocated the formation of a mage prisoner army, is herself a mage hidden among the nobles!

"This..." Silas was slightly stunned.

He was not surprised that there were mages among the nobles. After all, when he was serving the magic hunters, he had already vaguely sensed this with his talent of being able to sense magic over a large area.

only……

If Lux herself is a mage, then her insistence on forming an army of mage prisoners is very intriguing.

Perhaps, this is not just a struggle for power among nobles.

Or is it a kind of resistance made by Lux as a mage against the increasingly stringent policy against magic?

Perhaps, this yellow-haired girl was not as bad as he thought. She was just using this method to save the mages and gain living space for fellow mages in Demacia?

Silas couldn't help but have such expectations.

Although other mages could not see through Lux's identity as a mage, they could feel Lux's gentle attitude towards mages, so they could not help but have this expectation.

Then……

"It would be too easy for these unruly deserters to be blown to death like this." Lux said with a sneer.

"They should be used to feed my pet dragon-bird."

Silas: “…”

Mages: “…”

Then, not long after, a dragon's roar was heard faintly in the sky, and a huge beast as tall as two stories high penetrated the clouds, stirred up the air waves, flapped its wings and flew down from the sky, landing in the military camp and in front of Miss Lux.

"Eat them." Lux ordered coldly.

Then the dragon opened its bloody mouth:

A... "Ah——" Gulp.

Two... "Help!" Gudong.

Three, four, five...

"Burp~" The air became quiet.

The dragon bird seemed to be full. It fluttered its wings twice and flew up into the sky again, taking a walk to digest its food.

“…” Now even Eldred was silent.

The commander of the Demon Hunter Corps was stunned for a long time before he said to Lux in an amazed tone: "Laxana, you are really a natural... Demon Hunter."

Demon Hunter? She is clearly a demon!

The mages lowered their heads in fear and anger, not daring to look Lux in the eyes.

Silas also secretly clenched his fists. He was sure that the scene just now was not a trick.

This is because unless the spellcaster has perfect control over magic power as strong as a god or devil, any magical fluctuations overflowing from the spell will not be able to escape his perception of magic power.

So Silas was more certain than anyone else that Lux really had the dragonbird eat those mages alive.

"This bastard..." Silas felt an unprecedented murderous intent surge in his heart.

He wanted to kill this disgusting noble girl and let all Demacians know that mages were not slaves that they could abuse and drive at will.

"Calm down, Silas."

Eldred is about to leave with his army of demon hunters.

Before leaving, he quietly passed by Silas and reminded him quietly: "We need a vigorous riot, not a failed lone wolf attack. Isn't it?"

"The opportunity has been given to you."

"Mobilize your people, Silas."

With that said, Eldred spurred his horse and rode away with a group of fully armed demon hunters.

"Yes." Silas clenched his fists secretly: "I will, Eldred, Lux, and everyone in Demacia - I will unite all the mages and overthrow your kingdom!"

…

After the dragon-animal cannibalism incident on the parade grounds, the mages generally became much more honest.

Although Miss Lux later returned to her previous kind attitude of loving her soldiers like her own children, everyone's fear of her was deeply engraved in their minds along with their hatred.

Next, they will need to stay in Demacia for a few days to receive the most basic military training under the guidance of Lux and the knights of the Crownguard family, and be reorganized into an army.

However, perhaps due to lack of experience or overconfidence, Lux was very lax in her management of this mage army.

During the day, there are Crown Guard warriors who supervise the reorganization and training of the mages.

At night, the mages were only ordered not to leave the camp without permission, and they could move freely in the camp almost without restrictions.

So naturally...

These mages, who were bored in prison, gathered in groups of three or five whenever they had the chance and started chatting.

As for the content of the conversation, it was of course inseparable from Miss Lux, who had left a deep impression on them during the day.

Some people said: "This woman is a demon... She feeds living people to beasts. Even the Demon Hunter Corps is not as cruel as her!"

Most mages think so.

But some people still hesitated and said: "I think... at least, she won't abuse us for no reason."

"Instead of waiting to die in prison, it's better to serve under her. After all, as long as we are obedient, Miss Lacus is pretty good to us... isn't she?"

These words actually .

Because compared to the dark life in the Forbidden Demon Tower, Lux would not beat or abuse them for no reason, and would make sure they had enough food and water, and would also give them limited space to move freely...

The injured can be treated, the weak can be cared for, and those who train hard can be rewarded...

In comparison, the treatment given by Lux is really good.

"Haha." Silas sneered when he heard that.

He knew that his compatriots were still confused and needed someone to clarify their direction and point out a path.

The time has come for him, Silas the Liberator, to appear on the scene.

"Foolish! Fellow mages, have you forgotten the collars around your necks?"

"This little favor Lux gave you is just a handful of grass for the lambs. Do the lambs have to thank their master after eating a few bites of grass?"

"No! Because the master wants your blood and your life! She wants us to fight on the battlefield and use everyone's lives to achieve her own ambition!"

"You think you can survive as long as you obey, but in fact... you are no different from those guys who were eaten by the dragon birds during the day!"

Silas stood up with great enthusiasm.

However……

He immediately stood there in a daze with a strange expression on his face.

Because what he just said was not what he said at all.

Instead, it came from an ethereal and beautiful voice, and it was a voice that appeared directly in their minds.

"Who is it?!" The mages looked around in shock.

The noble girl with blue hair and twin ponytails whom they had met during the day came out from the shadows with a guqin in her arms.

"It's me." Sona appeared in front of everyone.

"You are?!" Silas widened his eyes.

What happened? How did this woman steal all his lines?!

"I am Sona, Sona Bouvier, the adopted daughter of the Bouvier family."

Sona plucked the strings of her harp lightly to amplify her power, and told the mages with her mind:
