The Belial Heir

Chapter 5

Raiden POV

The magic lesson continued. He went back to explaining the previous topic, "The first part of our magic is imagining something, not just imagining but also executing it by thinking the possibility of the thing being imagined, happening."

"For example, what do you think of when you imagine igniting a fire?" He said alongside swiftly burning a yellow flame on his index finger.

"Umm...I think of hot flame?" My sister said, unsure of what she was saying.

Brother held his gaze on me as if, inviting my conclusion. "For igniting a flame, one first needs to know, how a fire is born. It is described by three bases, that being naturally, theoretically, and fundamentally."

"Naturally, or in nature, there are many sources of fire. May it be a volcano, may it be a coal seam fire, a fire caused by lightning, or even the ever-burning primordial fire at the Earth's core."

"Theoretically, it is rather simply explained. When something is heated to a certain degree, it catches fire."

"But fundamentally it is kind of delicate and uncertain and is the most important part of our clan trait. According to sages and scholars of the past be it supernatural or a normal human, it is experimentally explained that, due to the result of the Chemical combustion process, fire is formed. When that reaction reaches its ignition point, flames are produced." I replied obediently.

"Correct. Fire is the result of applying enough heat to a fuel source when you've got a whole lot of oxygen around. As the atoms in the fuel heat up, they begin to vibrate until they break free of the bonds holding them together." Brother continued my explanation with his reasoning and asked Cleria if she understood, to which she replied affirmatively.

"Now, here comes the topic we were discussing before. For our race's magic, we need to know our desired outcome in and out. For igniting a fire, one must know how are fire formed in nature and the theories behind it. They must know how it feels having a burning flame on their hand to have better intuition and if somebody can't have any insight then theorize a concept out of own and practice it till it comes out perfectly."

"So, in conclusion, the clearer the image you have in your mind, the easier it is to cast it out. The difference between a clear and unclear image can lead to anything from a failed spell to a hundred times the cost or even an accident that could kill the user. This step is the most important. Please be cautious."

He continued, "The second part, in layman's terms, is the Desire. It is as simple as it sounds. The stronger our desire in wanting to achieve the result, the easier we will achieve the magic. Moreover, Devils are naturally creatures of desire so it is like an initiate trait, to us. Our desire helps us to shape and bend our magic to our own will."

"And the last part is one's mana or magic capacity. Like fuel, the more you have it, the more it will last and the more it will be potent."

And with some practical demonstrations, our magic lesson came to an end...for today. Ohh added with tons of tasks for self-study as well.

Honestly, sometimes I feel our brother is a closet sadist, taking pleasure in our misery.

Currently, we are traveling by a wagon pulled by some magical species of horse. The cart itself looks extravagant which screams luxury. Points out the Belial nobility's abundant wealth.

Our destination is the residence of the Leviathan household present in our territory. While not being the main castle of the leviathan, it still is magnificent, whose glory can be seen from this far distance.

This is one of the many devil king households present across the underworld. In fact, in the past, there used to be a very large land of devil king property in every Devil clan territory. According to them, it was to keep the nobility under supervision for any abuse or misuse of power. Just a coverup for extorting resources out of them.

Beside me was an over-excited Cleria a faraway contrast to the ideal image her dress was giving off. Cleria was wearing a sky blue princess gown with small diamond chains of her size. Her side lock hair twirled in a puffy way, ideal for a young Nobel princess.

While I'm still not used to this rather lavish lifestyle, I've come to terms with it. Since I still don't want to forget my roots, I like to wear normal clothes... Well most of the time, at least.

Now, not everywhere can I go with a Sandow vest and trousers, can I?

Our journey came to an end with the sudden halt of our wagon and with it, my inner monologue.

Stepping out of the cart, we came across a majestic castle guarded by a ring of forts whose beauty can rival our own.

The architect of the castle looked ethereal, built like those of the seventeenth century it was obvious grand. Made of white marble and big jewels, preserved by many layers of magic.

From the corner, I saw Brother going for some talk with those guards who instantly saluted him and teleported away. Most probably to fetch Sebastian.

Within a few seconds, the clan symbol of the Leviathan which seemingly has many snake-like figures drawn lit up on the ground, and soon emerged the man who has invited us for this supposed play date with his daughter, who is one year older than us.

Now, this may seem all of a sudden but he has been constantly asking permission from our parents, for the last month.

Something bad happened with his daughter last year because of which Sebastian was very anxious. When I asked him the reason he said his daughter was 'unwell'.

Personally, I or Claria haven't met this daughter of his, we don't even know her name, but with the stories of her that we gave heard, we should probably get along quite well.

We were soon escorted inside by him with a teleportation spell.

I should learn this neat spell soon!

The insides were even more grandeur with relics displayed in every corner of the hall, paintings of famous battles, and a picture frame of the Devil king Leviathan.

"Sweety, come greet our guests!" He said with a smile.

Soon a girl, roughly of our age, entered the room with a tray full of cookies in her hand, carrying them carefully.

Wai--

She put the tray on the table and bowed in front of us, and said with a trembling voice,

"I-I am I-Ingvild L-l-leviathan of the Leviathan household. It is very nice to meet you, d-d-dear g-guests."

What The Fuck!!!
