758 Invading A Demon City
Nevertheless, Lawrend didn’t stop his simulation within his mind. With each new transformation of the elements, he would learn more about them. Soon, he would be able to merge them together with his usual elements.
At that time, Lawrend was sure that he could create Divine forms for each of his magic elements. It was exciting to him just thinking about it.
He couldn’t help but be glad that he didn’t become a Heaven Mage yet. He wasn’t sure if he could still change the properties of his elements if he had become one already. This must be the reason why he failed that time.
The night passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone here had longer lifespans than a normal human. A single night was nothing for them.
They flew up in a group and headed south. Lawrend watched the red sun rise over the horizon. The whole demon world looked like it was constantly in the sunset. It was beautiful and so otherworldly.
“It will take a lot of time to get used to this,” Lawrend said.
“Fufufufu. If you want to rule this world, Master, you’d have to get used to it quick,” Aezel responded and covered her mouth as she giggled.
“Who says I want to rule this world? I just want to learn the magic in here and then come back as a Heaven Mage,” Lawrend replied and shook his head.
He wasn’t fond of being a ruler. He didn’t even do any of the paperwork when he was still in the Undrasil Empire. It was a drag. He’d rather become strong till he could enjoy a leisurely life with his maids.
Nothing else would matter during that time. He would live the life he wanted, and no one would be able to disrupt it. Thinking of such a perfect life made Lawrend remember Valentina again.
The relaxed expression on his face quickly dissolved into sadness. He took a deep breath and looked forward. It would take some time before he would be able to move on from Valentina’s sacrifice.
Aezel was confused at his sudden mood swing. She wanted to say something but refrained from doing so. She could tell that he was deeply sad about what he was in his mind.
In a few minutes, a city appeared over the horizon.
Unlike the cities in the human world, this city had no tall walls. Mud brick houses were built everywhere, and there were some important-looking buildings at the center.
Lawrend looked around the whole city as they approached. He was very curious about its difference. He had been to three worlds already, so seeing the difference between the cities in them was particularly interesting for him.
They landed on the ground, and there were some demons raising sheep and goats. These demon shepherds had the same malformed features as the demon they interrogated. They looked over and stared at the group, stunned.
“Humans..?” a demon with a stub of white beard asked in confusion.
Seeing humans in the demon world was the rarest sight there could be. The group was particularly eye-catching because of Lawrend’s children. Their outfits were weird, too, as maid uniforms were never a thing here.
“Are you sure?” Lawrend asked and took a step forward.
He raised his head, and his demonic aura oozed out from his left side.
“S-Sorry, Sir! Please go on!” the demon shepherd was scared.
p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om He could sense something dangerous lurking within Lawrend. He didn’t dare to ask any more questions. It was common for demons to kill without rhyme or reason, after all.
Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction and walked along the dirt road with his maids and children. Aezel turned her head back to the shepherd and squinted her eyes at him.
The shepherd jumped up in fear, and the goats and sheep near him ran away as they got spooked.
Aezel smirked after scaring the shepherd. She walked behind Lawrend and glared at the demons ahead of them. These demons didn’t dare to look further and turned their heads away.
Soon, they reached the most magnificent and tallest building in the city. It was made of real stone bricks that set it apart from the others near it. Lawrend and his group didn’t need to ask around to know that the City Lord lived there.
“Aezel, bring him out,” Lawrend ordered.
He wasn’t as worried as before since there was no Heaven Demons near them. It was the main reason why they walked directly to the city.
“Grevan! Come out at once!” Aezel shouted and stepped forward.
*BAM!* *BAM!* *BAM!*
Aezel knocked on the door like those people from Lawrend’s previous world that would knock down doors if you had a liking towards young children. The loud noise she created attracted the eyes of the others walking by.
Most of the demons around had a variety of forms. Some looked better than others, and the others looked like they were actual demonic beings.
“Who!?”
An enraged shout from a female came from inside. The door swiftly opened, and a big-busted and sharp-looking woman with two horns above her head appeared. She glared at Aezel, and mana swirled around her right hand.
“You’re a woman?” Aezel asked in surprise.
“You dare disturb and insult me!”
Grevan swung her hand, and a fiery dark red ball of fire escaped her hand. It rushed towards Aezel’s face.
“Pathetic!”
Aezel glared at the fire spell coming at her. Her two eyes shot out two thick bolts of golden lightning. The two spells crashed at each other and exploded.
“Ahhh!!”
Grevan was thrown backward while Aezel remained on the spot. Her maid uniform was slightly disheveled, but her appearance was much better than the Grevan on the floor. She was wearing tight leather armor, and it had rips all over it.
“Learn your place, bitch.”
Aezel walked inside and grabbed Grevan by her purple hair.
“Let me go! Ahh!”
Grevan screamed in pain. She struggled as Aezel pulled her out of her home. She was brought before Lawrend.
