The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 5 Abilities

After around thirty minutes of meditation, and some helpful guidance from Aqua about the imaging I should use. I was able to grasp my mana and stop the leaking from being so terrible.

"Not bad for a first timer it will of course require a lot of practice to gain better control but for now I think you've grasped the basics of grasping and controlling your mana!"

Aqua answered like a proud teacher giving a student a gold star. I found it endearing and let out a smile. Warrick seemed to have misunderstood and looked at me with bloodlust in his eyes I should explain to him that I take the sanctity of marriage seriously. Now that the giant step 1 was finished I figured it was time for step 2, so I looked at Warrick and Aqua and I saw something unreal.

Colors I could never imagine dancing all around the room and the people in it. Speaking of the people all guards and maids as well as Warrick and Aqua all had one stable color emitting from their bodies at different thicknesses and amounts myself included. Warrick was emitting small amounts of a transparent blood red color constantly. Aqua had even smaller amounts leaking from her deep blue like her hair. but it was so transparent it was almost invisible. for every 1 emission Aqua would make Warrick would leak 4.

Looking at my own hands I noticed that that the thick fog was still emitting from me only now it was confined to being around my body like a raincoat. It seems that having supreme control of their mana makes smaller and smaller amount's leak like the last drop of water from a shut off faucet. Meanwhile I looked like the faucet was on full blast and surrounding me. It seems I have a long road to proper mana control. After calming down I asked Aqua a question I thought of, before being lost in observation.

" So how do I use magic more specifically Holy Heal?"

They both looked at me with a quizzical look and Warrick answered me.

" For mana we have no issue teaching you as for Paladin specific skills. We don't actually know, John there hasn't been a paladin in over 500 years. The last Paladin called Robert the White didn't leave any texts on how to use his skills either. Even if he did, I highly doubt the humans would leave it lying about for our spies to easily find anyways."

Warrick stated in a matter-of-fact fashion almost looking sorry as he did, he looked quite tirelessly these last 3 months it seems. As I was puzzled at what to do in order to move forward Warrick started to speak in a confident manner.

" However, the Appraisal Orb will hold some form of an answer. The Appraisal Orbs gives hints for skills. The Gods must have instituted such a feature for times such as these. The usual tradition, being that a person of the same or similar job will teach a Youth who goes through the Appraisal Ritual when they turn 10 years of age. I was Taught by my Grandfather Darius, Aqua was taught by her grandmother Ember."

"What are your jobs exactly?"

I asked Genuinely curious. The guards and maids looking quite serious as the words left my lips. before any of them could say anything, Warrick had already brought his hand up and talked softly to all in the room.

" Now now everyone, he's been nothing but honest with us. We can answer some simple questions from time to time. Besides, it's not as if our enemies don't have a clue about my wife and I's fighting abilities. I understand the holy mana may leave you a bit uneasy, but he's shown nothing but cooperation since he's arrived. It's our duty as the ones who brought him here to show sincerity in kind as he has shown us."

Warrick said with warmth in his eyes while Aqua nodded along in total agreement with her husband's words. He then turns to me and begins a new sentence.

"My job is known as Demon King it's an exclusive job to our race and is only available after certain criteria are met, we can talk more about such matters after Sarah awakens perhaps over some dinner. Oh, and before my current job I was born with the Demon Warrior class it's similar to the humans Spell Blade class. Meaning I could cast spells onto a weapon of my choice, usually a sword as I prefer them! Now then my love if you would!"
