Chapter 474 - Interlude: Vali XXI. - ???

After half an hour, Vali kept on dodging the incoming spells from his opponent an occasionally returned them back with the usage of the Magic Circles, which fascinated Bellatrix to no end because this was the second time she saw them being used in her life.

The first person who could use them was her grandfather, but even she noticed that he couldn't use them with such proficiency and fluency like the young man before her, as he was using them as easily as breathing.

"Are you perhaps tired, my dear?"

Vali asked teasingly because, for him, this was just playing around, doing nothing much, just standing there and enjoying her futile efforts that were all for naught, but she wasn't giving up and still continued coming up with new strategies, new combinations of spells and new attempts to defeat him.

"Not in the slightest... on the contrary..."

She muttered while reading another wave of spells as he blocked everything with a wave of his hand. While he could take those spells head-on, he didn't wish as he pretended to be an ordinary human, albeit one who could use the Magic Circle in this half-dead forsaken world.

And it went this way for some time before Bellatrix showed considerable levels of fatigue from their duel.

For Vali, his was literarily nothing, as he was a Being of Law and for Bellatrix, they were already going on for more than two hours, though Vali admired that she wasn't giving up and still tried...

Though at the same time, another part of him that was instilled in him by his father forced him to see this as a foolish notion from a purely logical point of view.

Still, Vali was a person more ruled by his emotion than logic sometimes, as he waved his hand and immobilized his opponent because he was seeing that she was nearing the Magical Exhaustion.

"We should be ending the spar... you are nearing the point of exhaustion and any more would result in rather severe consequences."

Vali stated that because the Magical Exhaustion was nothing to scoff at and he didn't have with him anything that could help it.

The Mana Potions he had with him were so strong that even Tier 8 beings would explode from the overloading their bodies with the Mana.

Bellatrix nodded rather reluctantly, but even she felt that she was getting more and more tired, so it would be only prudent to stop in the spar and rest. She hoped that she would have more opportunities to fight with the dashing silver-haired young man.

She could see that Vali was just playing around with her and the feeling she got from him during the fight was like standing before the immovable mountain; it was an unnerving and uncomfortable feeling, but at the same time, it was making her feel rather weird.

This was the first time when she had shown an interest in the opposite gender because typically, most of the men were too scared to even speak to her properly due to her temper... which she had to admit begrudgingly wasn't the most pleasing around.

Some were scared that she could overpower them easily and basically, some things which were considered pretty unladylike among some more snobbish circles. Whatever, Bellatrix loved the feeling of fighting and the thrill of danger and for the first time, she felt some sort of attraction to the young man before her.

Not to mention, Vali was very good-looking and clearly, he was very powerful at that. And by a single glance, Vali could tell exactly what was going in her head as he chuckled at that, further cementing his desire to have her...

Though while some people would be fussy about taking someone of not prestigious background and powerful lineage as his wife, he believed if Bellatrix manifested same Bloodline Abilities like Arcturus Black, then all of them would shut up and probably even praise him a bit.

Though in the first place, nobody would be foolish enough to say something like that about Vali Lucifer, Imperial Elder, Commander of the Khaos Brigade, Lord Marshall Militant, butcher of the Gods, Warmaster and Silver Light of Supremacy.

"Do you want to sit a bit?"

Vali asked as she nodded and they sat down on the near by bench.

He could see that she was tired, so they started talking about some minor things, mainly Vali was asking about her hobbies and things that she liked.

Ironically though, it came as a surprise to him to find out that her favorite activities were, in fact, reading books and grimoires.

She admitted that she was rather a bookworm, even though she didn't entirely look like it...

After that, Bellatrix started asking about him, his hobbies, and other things, quickly resulting in an interesting debate.

"Do you believe in the existence of supernatural creatures? Though that is rather an ironic question, considering that from the point of view of an average non-magical human even wizards themselves are considered as supernatural."

Vali said as she tilted her head before she nodded rather slowly, though she didn't have an exact image of what he was talking about.

"The world is far wider than you can imagine... out there, Gods, Devils, Demons, Angels, Monsters and various creatures that are often just told in the human fantasy are very real..."

Vali stated as he suddenly let out his true form, which was breathtaking. He had twelve devil wings behind his back, larger than normal devils, with silver lines pulsating through his enormous wings; two tails were dancing behind his back as two pairs of big horns sprouted on his head.,

As he expected, Bellatrix was more fascinated and enthralled by sight than scared. She immediately came to him and was gushing over his changes and the power he radiated.

"Oh my! That is so cool!"

She was running all around him while looking at his wings, then his tails and then his horns, as she wanted to touch them, to which Vali gave her one nod.
