《Opening an orphanage in another world》Chapter 288: Mara and Zerolith

[At Demon kingdom]
[Mara point of view]
With multiple head keeps protruding out, and with each fang of it lie poison so strong that it wither any plant in an instant, the Cerberus is a force to be reckoned with. A devil born out of malice of dog type monster, it keeps barking and roaring, some is nothing more than an empty threat, while other are a genuine dead roar
"Lightning shoe" [Mara]
Still, that weapon is of no use if it can't touch me.
One, cut his open flesh with wind knife
Two, his claw, cut it with thunder axe
Three, his eyes, blind it with bright light magic
Keep it going, keep it going until the Cerberus die, and it will not take that long. Even when there are multiple heads with seemingly one dominant head, they aren't coordinating well enough to pose a large threat to me.
~Roar~
A loud roar, accompany by a poisonous fire breath. So, a fire mana and earth mana is at play here. Extending my hand, I create a powerful gust magic, driving it back towards the source. It did nothing more than just to irritate it further. Looks like they are the type of devils that are immune to their own poison. Shame, I could just end it there itself, but that doesn't matter
"Now then, please stay still" [Mara]
Taking out my custom-made Javelin, it's one of Karon living weapon, from his practice time of using his racial dwarf magic. As soon as I grab it, I can sense that the Javelin by itself suck dry my lightning and wind mana, and stop when it thinks that it could one shot the Cerberus in front of me. Smart, but not that smart, as it didn't take into account of what I am about to do

Using thunder shoe once again, and a tailwind magic to support me, I create a distance between the Cerberus and I, before sprinting toward it with once again, using thunder shoe.
"TAKE THIS!" [Mara]
Using all of my upper body strength, and the momentum I gain from sprinting, I throw the Javelin imbued with my mana as hard as I could, and it travels straight to the main head of the Cerberus. It tries to dodge, but this is where the beauty of living weapon made by Karon comes in, as it simply redirected itself and
"Wow. Gross..." [Mara]
My initial prediction is that, it will pierce the skull of the main head, into the neck and exit through it abdomen, but now, with how the Cerberus dodge and the javelin redirect itself, it pierces through each one of the head, one after another while not giving a chance for the Cerberus to regenerate. It also uses my wind magic to pump in air from inside the skull, creating strong pressure that the eyes simply pop out. Even after the javelin comes back to me by it own, I can still hear the sound of air leaking out from the Cerberus
"I feel bad for the worker that will clean this mess" [Mara]
I am two floor away from the demon kingdom, inside the dark dungeon. After getting the info from Zerolith's doppelganger, Htilorez, I was dispatched by the female paladin and her highness, the cold beauty demon queen to take care of it
"Better get going" [Mara]
If only the smart living weapon come with auto clean feature, that will be great. For now, let just store it inside my item box.
Walking back to the demon kingdom, I warn the soldier that comes to dispose of the Cerberus corpse about the poison that will be emitted by the Cerberus, and they take note of it. I'm glad they already prepare some high grade antidotes

"Greeting hero, good job out there"
"Thank you" [Mara]
"Have you found the wedding gift that you were looking for?"
"Unfortunately no" [Mara]
"Then may I recommend another shop?"
"Yes please" [Mara]
Recommending a high-end store, I thought of going there with Zerolith as he himself didn't find any suitable wedding gift for Rean and Muse yet.
I don't know where Zerolith currently is, but I simply need to ask the citizen
"The demon priest? He's gone back to the orphanage last I saw"
"Yes, I saw the same. He's with the other demon girl"
"I see. Thank you so much" [Mara]
Zerolith, out of all the people, wanted to become a priest. Naturally, I was skeptical at first, but Saintess Rumia accept his determination and start training him with Seo Ah before sending him here. Since there isn't even a single demon priest before, he became the very first, and thus garner quite a reputation for himself. As for me, even when he has changed for a better, I still can't believe him as a priest, so when Saintess Rumia dispatch him here, I follow suit
Taking the carriage ride and stopping fight in front of the orphanage, I can see the kids are happily playing tag with one another, before they inevitably drag me into it. I promise them I'll play with them later as I wanted to clean myself first before reporting back to the female paladin and her highness
"Right. Please take care" [Zerolith]
Zerolith turn off the phone. I can see that he just finished his conversation with Kara. I don't think it's just the usual call, so
"Zerolith, why did Kara call us?" [Mara]
"Ahh Mara, well you see..." [Zerolith]
Zerolith, who have become taller than I am, with a slightly longer ashen hair start to talk
"Really!?" [Mara]
"That's true. Are you on your way to meet with the female paladin and the demon queen? If so, I'll like to join and we could report it directly to them" [Zerolith]
"Great idea, let me take a shower first" [Mara]
If it was the old Zerolith, I'm sure he will be panicking about it, but now, he's awfully calm, even after hearing what happen. Guess he really has matured

Meaning: The End of the Starless Century
Magic was once a reality of everyday life, shaping the lives of the gifted and ungifted alike since the dawn of humanity. That all changed in the fires of World War I. Seeking to avoid catastrophe, humanity’s leaders enacted the Masquerade Order and segregated the magical community while also forming The Congregation to enforce the separation. As time passed, the awesome power of magic was forgotten by the world outside. This held true for a little over a century, but things begin to change when three individuals intersect in the peaceful town of Ithaca, New York. Noelle Sellers, a newly minted policewoman searching for her place in the world. Levi Wright, a mage living in Ithaca who is far more than he lets on. Lorelei Himmel, a juvenile witch in hiding out of fear of what people would do to her, and what she may do to them. As forces slithering in the darkness emerge from the murky depths of the world, the timeless battle for magic and for the future itself begins once again.
