The area 10 kilometers in front of him was gone. There was a large circular hole in the forest with a diameter of 500 meters. It was as if a meteor drove through the trees.
The edges were glowing red and sparkling with leftover golden lightning. It was so powerful that Lawrend's jaw fell.
"M-Master??" Aezel exclaimed.
Although it was said that Arch Mages could destroy entire provinces, that was not entirely true. Like his Fire Disintegration spell, some spells could only damage a single target by touching it.
This Lightning Beam was such a powerful spell that Lawrend felt breathless seeing the damage he did. It was a spell that solely focused on large-scale destructive properties.
His Fire Disintegration Spell, also an Arch Mage spell, could not be compared to it! The two of them were leagues apart.
That was because his golden lightning mana improved this lightning spell of his. It was as powerful as a Grand Mage Spell at the moment, and it wasn't a joke that Grand Mages can destroy a whole kingdom.
"H-Human… My beloved forest…"
Clova's eyes twitched as she stared at the destruction. As the guardian beast of this forest, she was supposed to protect it from such destruction. If she knew his spell would cause so much destruction, she would have stopped him earlier.
Not that she didn't know that he was capable of displaying the strength of a Grand Mage. She simply thought that it would only light the trees on fire.
"I-I'm sorry?" Lawrend said with a forced smile on his face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe felt bad seeing the destruction he caused. Because of the enormous size of the trees, it was safe for him to assume that it would take hundreds of years for those trees to regrow.
"Are you done yet?" Clova asked in a tired voice.
"I think I'm already done. Let's go back," Lawrend said and jumped onto her back.
Aezel followed after him with a dazed look on her face.
"M-Master, can you teach me that spell sometime?" Aezel asked shakily.
That spell was so powerful, and she felt excited about trying it out. Since she was a demon, she could naturally insta-cast spells. That talent of hers never disappeared even though she became a Fallen Angel.
"I will teach it to you later," Lawrend said with a slight smile on his face.
With that powerful spell, he started to feel less worried about himself. Once he becomes a Grand Mage, he could repeatedly insta-cast that spell, and it would be hard for anyone to defend against it.
At that time, he would be a nuclear bomb in human form. Kingdoms and Empires would feel threatened about his existence. He won't need to worry about getting blackmailed as much as he does right now.
They then returned to the capital city. The lightning mage from the empire missed them as they were flying high and farther away than him.
When Lawrend arrived at the capital, he immediately headed back to his room. It was already deep into the night, and instead of sleeping, he would try to become a Grand Mage tonight.
If he succeeded, then he would be able to insta-cast that spell. But of course, no good things happen consecutively.
He opened his eyes the next day. He was sitting cross-legged on the bed. He was still stuck as an Arch Mage. It was harder to become a Grand Mage than he thought.
Even though he spent a whole night, he only understood a little bit more about magic. It would take long before he would be able to become a Grand Mage.
Lawrend stood up and left his room. Aezel greeted him, and the two of them headed to the dining room.
It was morning, and Humility cooked breakfast again.
Lawrend couldn't help but remember that Humility mixes her squirt water in the food. He somehow found it erotic as he thought of it right now. He imagined her playing with herself and collecting her nectar before mixing it into the food...
Lawrend shook his head to remove that image in his head and enjoyed the steak on his plate.
His maids were sitting around the table and talking about the lightning spell he used last night. Even they felt the slight movement of the lightning mana in the air. It was so powerful that it was hard for other mages not to feel it.
"Ella, after this, use your space magic on me," Lawrend said after he swallowed.
Ella chewed on her food for a bit and swallowed it.
"Yes, Master. I have already recovered my space mana," Ella replied with a nod of her head.
"Good girl. You know proper etiquette."
Lawrend leaned over to her and patted her head.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCurrently, he was sitting on the shortest side of the rectangular table. His maids were sitting on both sides of the longer sides.
Ella sat almost beside him.
They didn't decide the seating arrangement, so she was able to sit there. If it were any other time, someone else would have taken the spot as it was closer to Lawrend.
"Hehehe…"
Ella smiled at him.
His praise made her feel happy.
After breakfast, Lawrend and Ella walked out of the dining room and arrived at the training grounds inside the Royal Castle.
"Are you ready, Master?" Ella asked.
The two of them stood on flat ground, 50 meters apart.
Lawrend was holding his staff in his hand while Ella was holding a new staff she recently got from her Big Sister. It was Verkoli's parting gift to her that he passed to Aleshia.
"Remember, only 1 minute, okay?" Lawrend reminded her.
"Yes, Master."
"Okay. I'm ready." Lawrend nodded his head.
Lawrend became solemn and serious. He gripped his staff tighter and readied himself mentally for the weird effect of her space magic.
"O' Void, a pleasure to meet you, time is relational, you are the guardian of space, Space Lockdown!" Ella chanted loudly.
Some unfamiliar mana spread from Ella's outstretched hand and surrounded Lawrend with it.. Suddenly, the space around Lawrend started warping.
