Chapter 510
“Your Majesty, someone from the Ignis Clan is waiting for you in the guest room,” Verkoli said through the door.
Lawrend stopped practicing magic and opened his eyes. The fire and lightning phenomenon around him disappeared, and he stood up.
He left the throne room and headed to the guest room with Verkoli.
Soon, they arrived in front of the door. He calmed himself and prepared for the worst.
As soon as he opened the door, he was stunned. A beautiful lady sat on the soft sofa and stared at him coldly. It was a gaze filled with arrogance.
Her face was oval, and her eyes were bright red. Fire mana swirled around her body slowly. Her bosom boasted two large peaks. One would drown in them.
“Brat, what are you doing playing as king?” Ember coldly asked.
“B-Brat?”
Lawrend was taken aback by what she called him. He took one more look at her and saw that she was being serious.
“I’m not a brat. Does it matter to you that I want to rule this kingdom?” Lawrend retorted.
He then entered the room and sat directly in front of her.
“It does, brat. The Ancestor was waiting for you for more than a year now, but there were no signs of you coming back. Ancestor was worried that you died, but here you are, playing as king,” Ember arrogantly said.
“I’m still too weak. I don’t dare to travel through the continent,” Lawrend replied as he shook his head.
“Excuses. Now that I’m here, you can rest easy.” Ember smiled.
Lawrend was enamored by her beauty, but he felt that she was being sarcastic.
“Why do you doubt me? Don’t you know that the Blumin Emperor wanted to kidnap me a year ago?” Lawrend asked.
“Kidnap..?”
Suddenly, the room rose a few degrees in temperature as a blazing heat tried to escape from Ember’s body. Lawrend stared at her in shock.
He took a good look at the elements in her body, and the result shocked him. She was an Earth Mage!
“How old are you?!” Lawrend shouted.
“Hmph. Are you messing with me?” Ember snorted.
She looked at him like he was a dead man.
“Leave the room, Mr. Verkoli, and Father,” Lawrend said as he motioned towards the door.
Rendal and Verkoli looked at each other and followed his orders.
“Don’t ask my age ever again, or I will tear you to pieces!” Ember threatened in a deep tone.
Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows and felt uncomfortable. She was being too overbearing and arrogant.
“You’re just a brat from outside the clan. My seniority is higher than yours.”
“Miss, your arrogance knows no bounds. I don’t believe I have ever offended you! If you want to fight, I can give you a fight!” Lawrend angrily replied.
She was an Earth Mage, but that doesn’t mean that he would lose out to her. His weaker endurance won’t matter as long as he beats her faster.
“Huhh!?? A brat like you dares to challenge me!?”
Ember stood up and raised her chin arrogantly.
“Grandma, if you keep calling me a brat, you will become senile,” Lawrend retorted.
“G-Grandma!? Brat! Let’s fight!”
Ember’s countenance was shaken by his words. She released her powerful Earth Mage aura and shook the royal castle. Verkoli, Rendal, and his maids were shocked and ran to his location.
“Let’s fight north of the city,” Lawrend said solemnly.
He opened the window and flew outside. Ember followed behind him.
“I will make you take back your words!” Ember shouted.
She hovered 100 meters(300 feet) in front of him. The air around her was distorted due to the blazing heat she emitted.
“I will put your arrogance down.”
Lawrend was irritated by her personality. He wanted to show her that he was more than a brat. He was a genius from another world that could make her submit!
“Phoenix!”
With one word, the fire mana around her coalesced and formed the image of a phoenix behind her back. It extended its wings and burned brightly like the sun.
Her display of magic attracted the attention of the citizens inside the city. They climbed tall places and watched their battle.
His maids also appeared in the sky, except for Elena. They were curious about the woman, but Verkoli stopped them from approaching him.
“The King has his own plans.”
Lawrend was surprised at the phoenix behind her back. He channeled the divine lightning through his body, and his body turned golden like a buddha.
“Huh?”
Ember’s eyes turned round as the sun. She was surprised at the magic he was using.
“I will show you my prototype magic,” Lawrend said.
Suddenly, a powerful heat radiated from his body. His golden body turned slightly orange, and the fire mana around him jumped around in joy.
“You…”
Ember became solemn. She clasped her two hands in prayer, and the phoenix behind her flew up and dove towards Lawrend.
“Petty tricks.”
Lawrend disappeared from his current position and appeared a distance away with a flash of golden lightning. He pointed his staff towards her and muttered, “Lightning Beam!”
A single arc of lightning appeared from the tip of his staff and suddenly turned into a 500-meter thick column of pure divine lightning mana. It shot toward her without any mercy.
Ember turned into hovering flames and avoided the attack. She then reformed herself and looked at him in surprise.
“That was a Grand Mage spell?”
“Heh.”
Lawrend merely chuckled. He was not in the mood to speak with her due to her arrogant personality.
“Hmph.”
Ember controlled the phoenix again and raised her two hands up into the air. The phoenix copied her movements and raised its two wings. She rapidly swung her arms forward.
The phoenix imitated her and shot out blades of fire. Lawrend leisurely dodged her attacks and flew to her closer.
“Fire Disintegration!”
Lawrend shot a finger towards her. Ember felt great danger and turned into flames once again. Lawrend didn’t stop moving and turned to follow behind her.
