The Demon King's Paladin

Chapter 116. Sarah and Anna's Hunt

                                                         Sarah Ericsson's Point of View

We walked east for around 20 minutes before we encountered our first batch of prey. Around 6 crabs had huddled together and were eating plants on the waterfront of a pond.

"Allow Anna and I to deal with this group. Ruby, Flare, you both can have the next group if it's as small as this one. Okay?"

" As you command, Sarah."

Ruby responded to me as Flare nodded her head. I turned to Anna who had already begun to glow a dark black glow. She's mastering her new abilities faster and faster it seemed.

"Anna, I'll pile them up together. Once they're bunched up, you can land the finishing blow. Does that work for you?"

Anna looked at me and nodded as she answered me.

" I'll start preparing a spell to leave the bodies intact then."

With Anna preparing, I stepped forward while withdrawing my halberd from my Magic Storage. I turned to my group and explained to them what I was about to do. Ah, Mana Storage. I've grown fonder and fonder of this magic as John has grown more and more dependent on me because of it. I feel myself smile as I try to not get distracted. However, thinking of My Love has granted me a boost in strength. This Love Warrior Job is quite interesting.

Love Warrior

Given to true warriors whose love is truly obsessive! The power and skills you gain from this class are directly tied to the amount of love and devotion you feel towards the object of your love as well as their mutual feelings with you! A class like this was first given to an ancient Queen whose King was lost during battle against a neighboring country. For months, she cried in the dark of the night, praying for an answer to if her love was alive or dead. During this time, that same enemy country began to make its way to the doorstep of the Queen's country. When the horns of war blared, and defeat became inevitable, the Queen prayed once more, for her love and her country. One of the Gods who presided over love, was impressed by her love and devotion to her husband. She received a vision of the Divine and was awarded this class for her devotion. With great strength, granted by the love she felt for her husband, she pushed the invaders back and beheaded the enemy leader. Now that one problem was solved, the second needed dealing with. One of the fundamental skills of Love Warrior is the ability to locate your loved one. The King was found in a month, he had been captured and placed in a jail cell. After locating him. It took a night and a Queen to save a King. Then it took 3 months of being lovey Dovey to continue governing as they did normally. In about a year's time, that same country was blessed with triplet Princes. The commoners said it was a blessing of the Love Gods, they didn't truly know how right they were.

I could barely hide my glee at reading that description when I first received this special Job. Through extensive and quite pleasurable, if frustrating testing. I've found that based on if John and I share intimate moments together, I can gain a boost in my abilities as well as a buff that lasts for a few days. I was tempted to explain this to John, but I felt that I would almost be guilting him into being intimate with me, so I chose not to. To my surprise, this choice also gave me strength! This class truly is based on the love and devotion someone feels towards another. I suppose the danger in it, would be falling for the wrong person. However, that will never be a concern for me.

"BLUBBB!!!"

Ah, the crabs noticed me. Seems I failed in not being distracted. Using the blunt side of my halberd I smack the one attacking me in the head. This made the others start to get aggressive. Seems they don't like being interrupted during their meal. A shame, considering its their last one. While they all had their eyes on me, I launched myself into the air with my wind magic. Once I was stable and floating with my magic's support, I went on to casting another wind spell, this time it's a barrier with my calamity mana mixed into it. This caused them to bunch up out of fear. I used the telepathy that my mother taught me to send the go ahead to Anna.
