The Useless 8th Prince

Black Cocoon

“Are you okay, My Lord?”

Looking at the somewhat panicked Asterious, Ciel let out a short sigh. Noticing the three subordinates staring at him, the corner of the young man's lips twitched.

“Are dictionaries serious, Asterious?” ciel asked suspiciously.

“Of course I'm serious, Mr.”

Ciel took a deep breath before saying, “Try tell me.”

“Tuan .. You know that I have made an appointment with Moomo. It's just ...on a cleaning mission, accidentally, I met a beautiful woman.

I rescued her. He felt grateful and I was somehow interested in him. Then ... what should I do, Mister?”

“You met another Minotaur tribe?” ask Ciel.

“No. The woman ... she is Melusine.”

Hearing Asterious reply, Ciel and the other two people fell silent.

Melusine, still a cousin with the Lamia race. It's just that, they usually live in watery areas. The Black Orchid region was indeed suitable for staying races like them.

At that moment, Ciel began to question the intelligence of his subordinates. Heteromorph races usually have characteristics almost like animals. If the asterious is interested in a cow-like race or buffalo, he will understand it. However …

Bulls and water snakes ..seen from anywhere, it is definitely impossible!

...***...

A day later, Ciel saw a strange bird by the window of his room. A surprised expression flashed in his eyes. The young man went straight to the window and opened it.

“What are you doing here, Zepth?” Ciel asked the bird.

The bird's appearance looks simple and strange. He looks like a crow the size of a fist. But if he looked carefully, there was a strange light on his body. Its feathers have little luster like stars in space.

Although the appearance is strange as well as beautiful, the bird itself cannot be underestimated. The creature was extremely step by step and could be considered a legend on this continent. The reason is .. This creature is almost impossible to catch.

Remembering something, Ciel then issued a snack in the form of high-quality grains. The bird casually walked through the window and jumped onto Ciel's shoulder. Rubbing his little face into Ciel's cheek.

“I miss you too, Zepth. But what are you doing here?” ciel asked with a confused expression.

Zepth, the strange bird, jumped on the table. Striking his little claws, a black box the size of his body appeared on the table. After being noticed, Ciel saw a ring on Zepth's ankle.

Since when did the dimensional ring become so worthless!

Ciel exclaimed inwardly. Wanted to complain because now, a bird was even richer than royalty.

“It ... teacher told you to deliver it to me. Zepth?” ask Ciel.

Seeing Zepth nod, Ciel felt a warmth in his heart. He then stroked Zepth's head while feeding the grains. This is a bit strange, it is said that the crow is omnivorous, while the strange bird in front of it only eats the best quality grains.

Zepth's chirping woke Ciel from his reverie. He saw Zepth go up to his shoulder while rubbing his head against his cheek.

“Away with going?” ciel asked in surprise.

Seeing Zepth intelligently nod, Ciel could only let out a long sigh. He dipped gently over the creature's head before saying, “Thank you, Zepth.”

Zepth looked at Ciel. It looked a bit reluctant, but it finally jumped out the window and flapped its wings. At that very instant, the little creature instantly disappeared.

Right, not so fast that Ciel could not see, but completely disappeared. His existence just disappeared.

Uh! Dimensional magic, if only in the Black Sun Empire there were books explaining such magic. It's just that, in this world .. I haven't heard of someone with such magic except in the legend stories.

Ciel looks reluctant. He really wanted to nurture Zepth. How good it was, it could really be used to watch over the entire region without being detected. Only, it was his teacher's own pet. It was impossible to ask for it if he did not want to be killed.

The reason the bird could not be captured was its dimensional magic ability. It can appear in front of you in one second, then appear several tens of kilometers or hundreds of kilometers in the next second. The more he thought about it, Ciel looked increasingly reluctant.

Fortunately, other than unique magic, the bird had no other abilities. His own body was somewhat vulnerable and did not have any strong attacks. If the bird had a powerful attack, Ciel who imagined immediately shuddered in horror.

A high-ranking demon, was pecked to death by a bird without even knowing the cause of his death.

That's too horrible!

Ciel exclaimed in his heart. The young man then looked towards the black box on the table. Without hesitation, he took it and opened it. In the small box, there are three things. A potion colored like a starry sky with a bottle measuring about one finger, there was a black metal marble-shaped, and a letter.

Taking the letter and reading it, the corner of Ciel's seedling twitched.

‘I know you've been beaten to black and blue, Ciel. As a teacher, I was really disappointed!

If you want to be strong, you can drink potions there. Before drinking it, you must ensure the condition of your body is excellent. In addition, you must endure the pain while holding onto those black marbles.

The name of the potion was ‘Tears of The Void’, a potion in a lucky legend I was able to create. There is only one in the world, if you don't want to, don't throw it away! Restore it!

Also ...’

Who would return a precious potion like this!

Looking at some extremely valuable ingredients in a small bottle of potion, Ciel exhaled a cold breath. This was an incredible potion, even the ingredients were the blood of a legendary beast of every element and mixed precious herbs. In fact, there was Zepth's blood there.

Imagining himself being able to break through dimensions like little Zepth, Ciel felt excited. He immediately called Isabella, saying that no one could disturb her. The young man then carried the black box towards the private practice room.

After entering, Ciel immediately locked the door and headed towards the center of the training room. He then read once again the letter from his teacher. Uncapped bottle, fragrant aroma mixed with high concentration where spread in the room.

While holding the black marble in his left hand, Ciel immediately drank the entire potion in a bottle without setting aside a single drop.

Licking his lips, Ciel muttered, “It feels like a mixture of various berries. There is also a mint flavor? Not painful as it was written. Teacher is too worried? That's kos-”

Ciel suddenly fell to his knees. His head feels shaken. At that moment, the pain invaded every millimeter of his body part.

At first Ciel felt as if he was being put into boiling magma. The next second, he felt he was being buried in a chunk of ice at the north pole. The next second, Ciel felt struck by lightning. In the next instant, the young man felt thinly sliced by the wind. Next second …

Sensing a terrifying sensation in each second, Ciel cursed inwardly.

This isn't the plan of a motherfucker trying to poison me, is it?

Teacher, are you really trying to kill this handsome disciple of yours!

Goddamnit! I just felt hugs and kisses! I will absolutely die in ‘suci’ condition!

Ciel's head feels like it's about to break. Blood flow leaked from Ciel's eyes, nose, and mouth. It made his handsome face look terrible.

At that moment, a terrifying pressure and ferocious killing intent shot out from Ciel's body. The entire castle, no. The entire Black Lily City and the surrounding area felt that pressure.

Every being, even if it was Asterious, Jean, and others .. instantly fell to their knees with pale expressions on their faces.

When Ciel felt that he was going to die or go berserk, the metal ball in his left hand shone. Many strange rune arrays appeared. Before Ciel could realize what it was, the marbles suddenly broke apart and became countless black silk ropes.

The rope wrapped around his entire body like a mummy. It continued to coil around and finally formed a black cocoon that floated in the middle of the training room.
