Chapter 911 Riveria’s Demonic Power

While Elaine failed to recognize her confusion, Le Fay explained it in detail, "It\'s true that Elaine is a mentor here and you can be rest assured that she has appropriate authority within the organization, but it\'s also true that she\'s my attendant and a maid of the Pendragon family."

Elaine Westcott is a descendant of one of the founding fathers of the Golden Dawn, William Wynn Westcott. At some point in time, she became a maid of the famous Pendragon family as the attendant and magician mentor of Le Fay; the Pendragon family\'s only daughter, teaching her about magic and even allowing her to join the Golden Dawn due to Elaine\'s connections to them.

Although Le Fay appeared to join through Elaine, the truth was that the Golden Dawn is under the Pendragon family\'s influence.

Long story short, to counter the increasing power of the nobles during King Arthur\'s reign, Morgan Le Fay helped the commoners to establish their own Order of Magic and for some time after that, the Pendragons and Golden Dawn became bitter enemies. It was still unknown how it came to be, but after a few more generations, a Pendragon married a descendant of Morgan Le Fay, ending the long chain of war.

While Elaine and Le Fay didn\'t have any idea how much, it\'s certain that the Pendragon family has some sway within the Golden Dawn and that\'s how Elaine came to the Pendragon\'s to work as a maid while teaching Le Fay, because the family had discovered her talent was on par with the legendary sorceress, Morgan Le Fay.

"Is it fine to tell me about this? It seems like a big secret."

"It\'s fine~ The capable organization is already aware of it through their own investigations. Just don\'t mention it in a public setting because it\'s still advantageous for both sides to be seen as two separate entities.", Le Fay replied with great confidence, "Instead of that, let\'s go through some initial testing first to figure out where we should start. Elaine, please."

"Understood. This way, please."

After some written and practical tests, Le Fay and Elaine reviewed her results and were able to easily reach a conclusion.

"While you have a rich knowledge of the basics, your methods are primitive. It\'s as if you just memorized all the books about Magic you could get your hands on. In addition to that, you don\'t know how to use your Demonic Power... But that\'s strange... All Devils, reincarnated or not, should instinctively know how to use it." Elaine muttered.

"It\'s a good thing that all you know is the Thaumaturgy system. If you had studied something like Sympathetic Magic, you\'d be incredibly confused right now and it\'d be a lot of work to undo all of that." Le Fay added.

"Thaumaturgy? I\'ve heard it before, but what is it?"

Elaine then patiently explained, "It\'s a practice of Magic that solely focuses on the manipulation of the elements that follow the laws of the physical world. Since it doesn\'t delve deep into the study of mind and consciousness, it\'s an easy practice to get into and can become strong if you have strong enough calculative prowess. It\'s also the most widely used system of Magic, so much that if common people were to mention Magic, it\'d mostly be Thaumaturgy that they\'d be referring to."

Meanwhile, Le Fay was thinking of what could possibly be the reason why Riveria couldn\'t use her Demonic Power even though she could easily pull Magic Power from her surroundings and use it, "The only thing I can think of is the fact that she\'s not of this world..."

"Pardon?" Elaine asked.

Le Fay turned to Riveria and asked for her permission and once she got a green light, Le Fay explained Riveria\'s origin to Elaine.

Fascinated, Elaine excitedly muttered, "So another world outside of our own really does exist. I thought it was just exaggerations from the large factions to keep everyone in check. Does that mean we really are getting invaded?"

Le Fay shook her head, "There\'s no evidence of that yet, so probably not. Our current problem is the Alliance of Hell and until they are taken care of, there will be no factions that will do anything to ensure the safety of this dimension. Enough about that. What do you think of Riveria-sama\'s incapability of using her own Demonic Power?"

Elaine thought for a moment before answering, "Let\'s set aside the incompatibility of her physiology to Demonic Power, because that\'s very unlikely. If that was really the case, a problem would have already come up when she was being reincarnated as a Devil. For now, could you please tell me about your world and how you use Magic on that side, Lady Riveria?"

"I don\'t know if it\'ll help, but I don\'t mind." Riveria agreed while feeling dejected about her problem, \'What should I do if this can\'t be resolved? Do I have to resign from my current position?\' For some reason, she didn\'t want to admit that she didn\'t like the title of \'Queen\' being taken away from her.

Elaine requested Riveria to tell her story as detailed as possible and that\'s what she did, hoping that it could, at least, help a little.

Riveria\'s description of her life in her original world went on for about an hour and the two listeners were very engrossed in the world with different rules than theirs.

While Le Fay was asking more questions to Riveria, Elaine got an inkling of why she couldn\'t use Demonic Power, "Lady Riveria, did you say that after learning the truth about Magic, you think the Magic that the Goddess, Loki, granted you, was not your own?"

Riveria nodded, "It is. After all, I don\'t know how to use it outside of being granted it through my level up. And the fact that I can\'t use it anymore when I rejected all the blessings that I\'d accumulated only supported that."

"Then do you think that Demonic Power was granted to you?"

Riveria nodded again and with much more confidence, "Yes. Kisuke explained that his Demonic Power is filling up what I\'m missing."

But as soon as she said that, not just Elaine who asked the question, but Le Fay also sighed, "It\'s technically the truth but also not the whole story. Because of that, you are wrongly understanding yourself... Very wrong, in fact."
