In order to destroy the magic circle, Lu relied on the power of Demon King Solomon and finally succeeded. However, as a price for using Demon King Solomon's power, almost all the magic veins in his body were destroyed. Now Lu can no longer cast any magic.

Already.

However, Lu is also the soul clone of Demon King Solomon. Even if all the magical energy is destroyed, relying on his extraordinary recovery power, it only takes two days at most to fully recover.

"Now... I can no longer use magic. How can I spend these two days?"

Lu is also worried. It is the fourth day of the Holy Warrior Festival. There are still two days left before the final preliminaries of the Holy Warrior Festival are over. Can she survive these two days smoothly? If she is beaten by Anastasia or

It was because some other enemies knew about his current situation that there was no way he could survive.

Now, not only can Lu no longer be able to use the Soul Sword, but even his weapons have been almost completely destroyed. Therefore, he has no ability to fight at all.

At this time, another person appeared in front of Lu's eyes. And what kind of decision would this person make?

"Lu Jun, what's wrong with you? Why do I feel that your strength has dropped a lot in one breath?"

The person who appeared in front of Lu was Grandigne, the Sword of the War King, but if it was Grandigne, then Lu might be able to have a little conversation with him.

"Grandigne, maybe you don't believe it, but now... almost all the magic veins in my body are broken, so... I can't fight you at all."

The expression on Grandigne's face was also very complicated, but after a while, he spoke again: "What enemy did you fight against to become like this?"

Although Lu was hesitant, she still told Grandigne about Lapis. After listening to Lu's story, Grandigne just said a word in a calm tone.

"I trust you."

"Will you believe me? Grandigne."

"Yes, because not long ago, I sensed that someone in our team had withdrawn. From the magic power emitted, I sensed that he was at this location. It matches your description so far. So... I believe it.

you said."

"Thank you, Grandigne."

Thinking of what Grandigne once said, hoping that he would fight with all his strength, it would be absolutely impossible for Grandigne to let himself withdraw here so easily, but... the question is whether Grandigne is willing to temporarily fight with him.

He acted together to help him.

"In a word, you are talking to me now just because you hope to get my protection, right? With me here, you won't have to leave so easily, and you will have a way to join up with your companions, right?"

"You are indeed very smart, Grandigne."

However, Grandigne raised her lips slightly at this time, giving Lu an unknown premonition.

"I can protect you, but...I have to put forward one more condition now."

Lu had a feeling that the conditions proposed by Grandigne were definitely not simple. What new conditions was he trying to put forward?

"What conditions do you want to put forward, Grandigne? If I can fulfill it, I will definitely agree to it."

"Don't worry, it will be easy for you."

Although Grandigne said so, Lu felt more and more that this condition was extremely difficult. Grandigne... what exactly was he trying to put forward?

"Grandigne, what are your conditions?"

Jean Lu never thought of the conditions put forward by Grandigne. If these were the conditions he proposed, it would be absolutely impossible for Lu to agree to them.

"Alice Northfield."

"You said...what are the conditions you proposed?"

As if Lu couldn't believe what she heard, she asked Grandigne again, and Grandigne repeated it again.

"I said, the condition I put forward is that you please give up Alice Northfield."

"Impossible! There is absolutely no way I can agree to this condition! Grandigne, why do you want to put forward this condition?"

Grandigne did not hide anything and directly told Lu the reason.

"I like her."

"...you said...you like Alice?"

"Yes, I have never met a girl with such a pure soul. The moment I met her, I experienced the so-called "like" emotion for the first time."

Grandigne's reaction now is exactly the same as Lu's back then.

If the two people had exchanged identities, he might have made the same condition as Grandigne.

But... it is absolutely impossible for Lu to agree to Grandigne's condition and give Alice to him. Even if he needs Grandigne's protection now, there is absolutely no way he can agree to Grandigne's condition.

"I'm sorry, Grandigne, it is absolutely impossible for me to agree to this condition."

"...This is a bit difficult."

"What's the problem?"

"If you really think about Alice, what can you do now?"

"Grandigne! You are taking advantage of others' danger!"

"...Don't you want to protect her? Can you do it now?"

Lu also knew in her heart that what Grandigne said was actually correct. With her current strength, it was indeed impossible to defeat Grandigne.

"...You look very painful. Is this kind of separation very painful for you?"

"What do you think? The most important existence in my heart has been taken away by you. Will I not be in pain?"

"Oh, thank you. With your words, I am willing to be your follower."

"What do you mean by this?"

"Literally, how could I win someone's love? Because I know... Miss Alice will only smile with happiness from the bottom of her heart when she is with you."

"Really? Is it true? She will smile happily at me from the bottom of her heart. What does this mean!?"

"I don't know what this means. I only know that if she smiles happily at me when she talks, I won't give up on her so easily."

"Grandigne..."

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to test your love for Miss Alice. Judging from your current reactions, you and her are in love with each other. There is no room for me to intervene. Okay, then before you

Until your magic power is restored, I will definitely protect your safety, and you must abide by your agreement to fight me."

"I know, thank you, Grandigne."
