Let's Train Heroine

Maris floated gently beside Lucan as they traversed the dense forests. Her pink hair shimmered like delicate strands of silk, framing her perfect face, and her light blue eyes sparkled. She couldn't resist playfully leaning into Lucan, her curvaceous figure brushing against his arm. Her lips curved into a mischievous smile when she noticed Lucan stiffen slightly.

"You know, Lucan-sama, you shouldn't be so tense," she teased, pressing her breast against him just a little more. "A man of your strength should be more relaxed around a delicate Saint like me."

Lucan sighed softly, shaking his head. "Maris, we're in the middle of a something urgent. This isn't the time to—"

"Time to what?" Maris interrupted, her voice lilting with amusement. "To enjoy myself? Hehe, I never knew you be tense if I do this." Stay connected with empire

Lucan sighed. Somehow Maris got even bolder, clearly expressing her thoughts. However, for now Lucan isn't concerned about this. Z'thraag supposed to only wake up after Evil Magician born, and since he saw Z'thraag, meant Evil Magician had born and it's in the world.

Lucan want to deal with Evil Magician as soon as possible.

"Maris, We're dealing with the birth of a Evil Magician. It's dangerous. However after we deal with them, your goal is Saint is fulfilled."

Maris's smile faded slightly, and she nodded. "I know, I know. But you always have that worried look on your face." She reached out and gently touched his cheek, her expression softening. "I just want to see you smile once in a while, Lucan-sama."

He placed his hand over hers, squeezing it lightly. "There will be time for that once we take care of this threat."

Maris sighed and withdrew her hand reluctantly. She glanced around the forest with a wary look in her eyes, sensing the tension in the air. She had went up in sky, and searched entire region but she couldn't find Evil Magician, since she couldn't find with her magic, she and Lucan decide to search by their own eyes, going around all over region.

"Lucan-sama, I searched everywhere, and now even we searched with our own eyes," she said, frustration lacing her tone. "But there's no trace of it."

Lucan frowned, deep in thought. "No." He looked up, his gaze sharp and focused. "I suspect the Evil Magician might have hidden itself in a small world. It's the only explanation for why we can't find it here."

"A small world?" Maris raised an eyebrow. "You mean like one of the sub-realms connected to this plane?"

"Yes. The Evil Magician could be hiding there to grow stronger or to evade detection," Lucan explained. "If it are left unchecked, it could become an even greater threat to this world."

Maris nodded slowly. "Then we should investigate the small worlds next. We can't afford to let this creature grow in power."

Just as they were about to set their course for the nearest sub-realm, a faint glow appeared in front of them. A cluster of tiny, translucent fairies fluttered into view, their wings shimmering like delicate petals in the sunlight. They hovered nervously around Maris and Lucan, their high-pitched voices filled with panic.

"Great Saint! Powerful Magician!" one of the fairies squeaked, her voice trembling. "The Fairy World is under attack! Our queen—our queen has been taken!"

Lucan's expression hardened. "Taken? By whom?"

"By the Dark Fairy Queen!" the fairy cried out. "Please, we beg of you, come to our aid! The Light Fairy Queen, Elysia, is in danger!"

Maris and Lucan exchanged a glance. Without a word, they both knew what needed to be done. Lucan nodded firmly, and Maris turned to the tiny fairies, her voice calm yet resolute.

"Lead the way. We'll save your queen."

The fairies darted ahead, leading Maris and Lucan through a shimmering portal. A flash of blinding light enveloped them, and within moments, they found themselves standing at the entrance of the Fairy World. The once vibrant and lush landscape was now desolate, the air thick with a suffocating darkness.

Shadows twisted and coiled around the trees, and the vibrant flowers that once bloomed in radiant colors were now wilted and gray.

Maris's heart ached at the sight. "What happened here…?"

Lucan's gaze swept over the devastation, "The Dark Fairy Queen… she must have unleashed her power here. This place reeks of her dark magic. But Dark Fairy Queen should be sealed, who released her?"

They moved cautiously through the eerie silence, the only sound being the crunch of dead leaves underfoot. In the distance, they spotted a figure bound in chains of shimmering light, suspended in the air like a broken doll. Maris's breath caught in her throat as she recognized the beautiful form of the Light Fairy Queen, Elysia.

"Elysia!" Maris cried out, rushing forward.

Elysia's body was in a horrendous state. Her legs were severed, leaving only bloodied stumps. Her eyes were hollow sockets, and her tongue had been brutally removed, leaving her mouth agape in a grotesque silent scream. Cuts and gashes crisscrossed her pale skin, her once magnificent wings torn and mangled.

Maris's light magic flared to life, enveloping her hands in a radiant glow. With a delicate touch, she broke the chains that bound Elysia, and the seals that held her magic began to shatter one by one. The moment the last seal broke, Elysia's body began to glow with a brilliant light. Her missing legs slowly reformed, her eyes regenerated, and her tongue grew back.

Her wings healed, spreading wide and beautiful once more, and all the cuts and injuries vanished, leaving her whole again.

Elysia floated to the ground, her gaze filled with gratitude. "Thank you… Maris…" she whispered, her voice was weak.

Maris smiled softly. "You're welcome."

Lucan stepped forward, his expression serious. "Queen Elysia, what happened here? Who did this?"

Lucan had guess but he didn't want to be true.

Elysia's face darkened as she recounted the events. "It was the Dark Fairy Queen… Lilith Nocturna and Evil Magician. Evil Magician released Lilith from her seal. And now… she is allied with an Evil Magician."

Lucan's eyes widened slightly. "An Evil Magician."

Lucan guess came true, and if what he thought is true then next destination of Evil Magician must be Phoenix World ot Dragon World.

"We want to eliminate the new Evil Magician," Maris explained. "But it seems we were too late."

Elysia looked at them with a fierce determination in her eyes. "I want to join you. I cannot let this stand. Lilith's actions have defiled the very core of our world."

Maris nodded. "We could use your help."

"But before we go," Elysia continued, her voice firm, "I need to retrieve something from the core of the Fairy World. It is a ring—an artifact known as the Fairy Ring. With it, I can draw upon unlimited Fairy Magic Mana."

Lucan and Maris exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. "We'll wait for you, Queen Elysia," Lucan said.

Elysia's lips curved into a faint smile. "Thank you. I will return shortly."

With that, the Light Fairy Queen turned and vanished into the depths of the forest, leaving Maris and Lucan alone at the edge of the desolate battlefield.
