750 Spared
The pushback by the water core and the compression force created by the Supernova spell layer turned the collision point into high-energy steam. This then resulted in chaos, and the force of the explosion heightened.
*THUD*
After the initial boom of the top layer, the core released a deep boom that shattered the red-hot ground for a radius of a dozen kilometers.
Dew crushed a blue gem in their finger, and a semi-transparent blue sphere of water mana protected them from the blast. They gazed at the destruction with a wide open mouth.
Dew had never seen an Earth Mage cause so much destruction before.
Aleshia and the others supported the weak Lawrend up as he stared at the effect of his spell. It was a success. He was able to create a spell that could definitely kill a weak Heaven Mage.
He turned his eyes to Dew. The gay man was terrified as they stayed within the safe space created by the blue gem.
“It was unfortunate he didn’t die…” Lawrend sighed.
It was to be expected as the gay man was a Heaven Mage. They must have a lot of things that could protect them, just like the blue gem they had just used. It was already impressive of him to force them to use that blue gem.
“Hahh…” Dew released a defeated sigh.
They flew down to Lawrend’s level at the ground. They looked around at the shattered ground around them before focusing on Lawrend.
“You earned my respect. Go, before my clan and the Zephyr clan arrives.”
“Are you… sure?” Lawrend asked with difficulty as the pain inhibited his speech.
“I will keep my word. Your magic… Let’s just say I want to see it shine in the future,” Dew said and smiled.
Lawrend felt complicated seeing the genuine smile on Dew’s face. A sense of respect grew within him for this gay man.
“Let’s go,” Lawrend said to his maids.
Aleshia and the others looked at Dew one more time before turning the gem off and flying away with Lawrend in their arms. The Earth Mages in the group helped everyone fly at Earth Mage speed by holding their hands or carrying them on their backs.
As a result, they looked like a ragged group of travelers.
…
Half a day passed. It was nighttime, and no one came after Lawrend’s group. Lawrend was still in a lot of pain, but he was able to endure them as his pure phoenix bloodline continued to work hard and fix his internal organs.
The group would look back once in a while as the faint waves of mana passed them. The battle in the Ignis Clan still hadn’t finished.
Lawrend opened his eyes after resting for half a day. He looked around and saw everyone using their best to fly at their fastest speed. He felt ashamed that it ended this way.
He didn’t want his kids and maids to see him in this vulnerable state. He wanted to look cool and powerful in front of them.
“Master, how do you feel?” Ramiela asked. She was flying slightly ahead while carrying his right back and noticed him move.
“I’m fine. The pain is nothing. It’s nothing compared to removing all of my mana and feeling like dried fruit,” Lawrend answered.
He tried to smile, but it looked crooked.
“I’m sorry, Master… I’m not strong enough to protect you,” Aezel said behind him.
“It’s fine. If you’re stronger than me, I will be very sad.”
“But Master…”
“Shh…”
Lawrend looked back at her seriously. Aezel shut her mouth and didn’t dare to say anymore. She understood what her Master wanted to say. It was beyond anyone to fight against a Heaven Mage.
“Come to think of it, the tip of the staff Dew was using looked like a butt plug…” Lawrend muttered in a daze.
“…What is a butt… plug? It sounds obscene?” Aleshia curiously asked from the side.
“*Cough* I forgot my kids are here.”
Lawrend looked over to his front and saw them looking back at him with curious eyes. He realized he had messed up. These little guys were knowledge hungry as their souls grew stronger. They required a lot of knowledge to support their rapid maturity.
pAn-d a-n0ve1.com Watching how the adults do it was the most efficient, so hearing what Lawrend said would certainly corrupt them very early on.
“…”
His kids didn’t say anything but stared at him with faces full of worry and some concerned gazes.
“What? I didn’t hit my head!”
Lawrend could tell what was on their minds. He was annoyed and embarrassed.
“Master, I want to know more about this later-nyaa,” Amene said.
Her curious feline eyes stared at him. Her cat ears cutely flicked to communicate how curious she was.
“I will tell all of you once I’ve healed,” Lawrend replied.
Lawrend relaxed during the trip. He was still worried that someone would come after them, but it had already been half a day. They were quite far, and the Heaven Mages shouldn’t have the leisure to come look for him.
He guessed that the Morning Dew Heaven Mage was an exception.
…
They passed the night, and the sun started rising over the horizon. Lawrend was able to focus on it as he gazed to his left while getting carried by his maids. He remembered his Icy Nova spell and wondered what kind of sun that was rising over the horizon of this world.
He had never asked that question before. He always assumed that it was similar to the sun from his previous world, but it was also possible that it wasn’t since there was magic here.
The greatest proof was his planetary system. He was able to enter inside it with his soul, and the sun he made looked like a real sun when he was standing on its surface.
If he was able to turn that planet into a real world, what would it be like? Would he be a god? It was still a long way to go, and he needed to go to the Demon World to take a step further.
