*Fwoosh*
The space suddenly became stable, and a wave spread out from Lawrend’s position. He was brimming with Fire, Lightning, and Space mana.
For hundreds of kilometers, the fire and lightning mana were depleted. It was worst around Lawrend. There were almost none of them.
Lawrend opened his eyes and stared at the floating ball of bloody water. He disappeared from his position and instantly reappeared inside it.
Lawrend closed his eyes once again and allowed the water to seep into his skin and destroy his body. It may seem dumb, but he was doing something special.
…
“What happened?!” Julianne exclaimed in disbelief.
“No way!” Otor shouted.
The other Earth Mages around them clamored. It was already shocking for Ember to die, but it was crazier for Lawrend to willingly enter into his own death.
“I will kill the Blumin Emperor!” Saturn shouted as he flew into the battlefield.
He was the old man who stood up back then to warn Lawrend about the Blumin Emperor’s tyranny. He knew that this was the only chance he had to kill the emperor.
“I will help!”
Many other Earth Mages flew behind him and decided to help. It would be easy to kill the emperor now that he was weak, but they still wanted to join in to have the achievement of killing the Blumin Emperor.
Alexis saw Lawrend enter the water ball. He was slowly falling to his death, but he didn’t become happy.

At this moment, Alexis remembered his long-dead first wife. The talented Yin wasn’t even her son. Their son had already died long ago. He was only an average mortal with no talent for magic.
His whole life flashed through his eyes. The happiness, the warmth, and the sadness he felt along the way.
“I tried everything, but you still died… Maybe, I should’ve followed you like he did…”
“AGHH!”
Alexis’ body was suddenly split open as an ice blade passed through his waist. It was water magic from Saturn.
Several more spells fell onto the emperor’s body from the other Earth Mages. They ranged from almost every element out there. The Blumin Emperor had zero chance of surviving any of that.
The mangled, bloody mess that was left of the Blumin Emperor splattered after it hit the ground.
“We did it…”
Saturn and the others became happy, but suddenly, a gloomy feeling permeated the whole surroundings. Lawrend and Ember had died.
They were sad, and there were even worse things that would now happen that both of them died. It might incur the wrath of the Ignis Clan.
But just as they were all losing all of their hope, the ball of water suddenly shone brightly. The bloody color slowly disappeared, and two bright lights appeared in the center.
These two lights became clear. They were two small red phoenixes. One had a long wing and a feminine appearance. The other had a more sharp face that exuded masculinity.
“A miracle!”
The ball of water suddenly boiled. A few seconds later, none of it was left.
Then, the two phoenixes burned brighter. The ball of water wasn’t holding them back anymore.
The two phoenixes separated and turned into two large eggs. The eggs sucked in the already depleted fire mana from the surroundings.
…
“Ahahaha! This kid is bold. I like it. Let me help him,” the old man with the white beard said.
He had continued watching. He saw Lawrend’s bravery and felt impressed.
The old man threw two blazing red gems toward the two eggs. The eggs absorbed the gems, and the light they emitted turned into two blinding suns.
The others couldn’t help but turn away or cover their eyes.
Lawrend and Ember appeared. They were wrapping themselves with their phoenix wings as if newborns.
The two of them pulled back their wings at the same time. They floated in the air as if nothing had happened. They were still the same. It didn’t seem like they died at all!
“The Phoenix Rebirth!” Julianne exclaimed.
She had heard legends about this phenomenon before. It was supposed to be the mystical superpowers of the descendants of the Ignis Clan. She couldn’t believe it was actually real.
She initially thought it was a legend spread to glorify the clan. After all, who would dare say they could revive from death?
“Master!”
Ember immediately spread her arms and embraced Lawrend. She and Lawrend were still covered with red flames. It made it impossible for the others to see their naked bodies.
“Ember…”

“Thank you for saving me. I thought I could revive, but that water gem was too powerful. It was specifically made to prevent an Ignis from reviving,” Ember said.
She was filled with happiness. Having been at the edge of death, she felt more appreciation for her own life. She wanted to cherish Lawrend more because of it.
“Why wouldn’t I? You showed me that you trusted me after all of the things I’ve done to you. I love you, Ember.”
Lawrend stared into her eyes with warmth. He was touched when she decided to trust him.
“I love you too, Lawrend– My Master!”
Ember went in for a kiss. She held his face securely and didn’t let go until she had a good taste of him.
“We can do more later.”
“Mm.”
Ember and Lawrend released each other from their embrace.
Ember swung her hand around her, and a sphere of flame appeared around the two of them. This allowed them to remove the flames covering their bodies, and they started wearing new sets of clothing.
After that, the sphere of flames scattered, revealing them to everyone.
“Woohhhh!”
“Congrats, Your Imperial Majesty!”
“Long Live His Imperial Majesty!”
“Undrasil Empire!”
The Earth Mages shouted together excitedly. Seeing Lawrend alive boosted their morale. After these past few weeks, they had grown attached to him. He was a great leader.
“From now on, this land is the territory of the Undrasil Empire!” Lawrend declared with his voice echoing for thousands of kilometers.
