Let's Train Heroine - Chapter 125

Chapter 125: Heroine’s Love Rival in Trouble
Lucan was having a tea party with Maris.

Recently, Lucan and Maris had begun to spend a lot of time together. Maris was already smart and could easily master any subject, so she was now skipping her classes.

Lucan only had two classes a day, and after that, he was free.

Lucan had heard that four bases were destroyed; however, that didn’t solve the root problem. The main problem was Lyria, and he needed to deal with her before she did anything else.

However, before dealing with Lyria, he needed to look out for a new enemy that was going to appear.

Soon, the academy was going to take students on a dungeon raid, but during the raid, there would be a Black Knight who was kidnapping women for lustful purposes.

In the game, the Black Knight wanted to kidnap Maris. Maris and the male lead fought against the Black Knight, and Maris almost got kidnapped, but a teacher arrived and saved Maris.

The atmosphere in the dungeon was filled with triumph and excitement as Julia, Olive, Hima, and Rina made their way back after a successful raid. Their bags were heavy with loot—rare gems, enchanted weapons, and valuable artifacts that would fetch a fortune. The four women were laughing and exchanging banter, their spirits high from the victory.

“Looks like we’ll be living like queens for a while,” Hima grinned, her golden hair glinting in the dim torchlight of the dungeon’s stone walls.

“Don’t get too comfortable,” Julia responded with a smirk, her white hair cascading over her shoulder. “We still need to make it out of here in one piece.”

Rina, her short red hair tousled from the adventure, was leading the group, her eyes scanning the path ahead for any remaining traps. Olive, silent as ever, was at the rear, her dark hair blending with the shadows. The dungeon had been treacherous, but they had managed to conquer it together, each playing their part to perfection.

Suddenly, the air grew heavy, and the light seemed to dim. Olive stopped in her tracks, her instincts flaring. Before she could utter a warning, a massive figure emerged from the darkness ahead—a towering knight, fully clad in black armor. His presence was menacing, the air around him thick with an ominous aura.

Without a word, the knight lunged at Julia, his massive sword swinging down with brutal force. Julia barely managed to block the strike with her weapon, the impact sending a shockwave through her arms. She gritted her teeth, her eyes narrowing as she prepared to counterattack.

“Who the hell is this guy?!” Rina shouted, rushing to Julia’s side, her blade ready to strike.

Hima quickly joined in, casting a protective barrier around them, while Olive silently darted to the side, looking for an opening to strike. But the knight was relentless, his movements swift and powerful, belying the weight of his armor. He parried every attack with ease, his sword cutting through the air with deadly precision.

Julia unleashed a flurry of blows, her speed unmatched, but the knight blocked each one as if he had seen them coming. With a powerful swing, he knocked Julia back, sending her crashing into the dungeon wall.

Hima, determined to protect her friends, channeled her magic, casting a powerful binding spell to immobilize the knight. For a moment, it seemed to work—glowing chains of light wrapped around the knight’s body, holding him in place. But the knight merely scoffed, his deep, guttural laugh echoing through the dungeon. With a surge of dark energy, he shattered the chains, the force of the break sending Hima stumbling backward.

“He’s too strong!” Hima gasped, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Rina, undeterred, charged at the knight, her blade aimed at the gap in his armor. But before she could strike, the knight spun around, his massive sword cleaving through the air. Rina tried to dodge, but the knight was faster. The blade sliced through her arm, severing it cleanly at the elbow.

Rina’s scream filled the dungeon as she fell to the ground, clutching the stump of her arm, blood pouring onto the cold stone floor. Olive rushed to her side, her face pale, but before she could even react, the knight’s boot connected with her chest, sending her flying across the room. She hit the wall with a sickening thud, crumpling to the ground, barely conscious.

Hima, in a desperate attempt to protect her friends, unleashed a blast of pure energy at the knight, but he deflected it with a mere flick of his sword. He turned his gaze back to Julia, who was struggling to her feet, her face twisted in pain.

“You…” Julia spat, her voice trembling with anger. “What do you want?!”

The knight didn’t answer. Instead, he grabbed Julia by the throat, lifting her off the ground with ease. Julia gasped for air, her hands clawing at his armored gauntlet, but it was no use. The knight’s grip was unyielding.

“Julia!” Rina cried out, tears streaming down her face as she tried to crawl toward her friend, despite the pain coursing through her body.

The knight turned his head slightly, as if considering Rina’s plea, but then he simply tightened his grip on Julia, silencing any further protest. Without a second glance at the others, he began to walk away, dragging Julia along as if she weighed nothing.

“No… no! You can’t take her!” Hima screamed, her voice breaking as she tried to get to her feet, but her strength was fading fast.

The knight didn’t stop, his heavy footsteps echoing through the dungeon as he disappeared into the darkness, taking Julia with him. Hima, Olive, and Rina were left behind, broken and bleeding, the triumph they had felt just moments ago now shattered.

Rina’s vision blurred as she tried to stay conscious, her mind racing with thoughts of Julia. “We… we have to get her back…” she whispered, her voice barely audible as she fought against the encroaching darkness.

But for now, all they could do was lie there, battered and defeated, as the dungeon grew eerily silent around them.
