Chapter 566
The Earth Mages in Tropical City grimaced. It was one thing for her to change sides, but it was one thing for her to sell her body for survival. The Earth Mages from the Blumin Empire felt guilt flowing through their veins.
“Trou, maybe–”
“No! It also pains me, but the Undrasil King should be killed. We shouldn’t give him any more momentum. Otherwise, his revenge would destroy us in the future.”
Recently, the news of the Undrasil King returning and gaining the support of the Trunden Empire circulated around the empire. That Earth Mage who stepped forward stopped in his tracks. He mulled over Trou’s logic and understood what he meant.
No one dared to blame the emperor for his forceful attempt to absorb Lawrend into the empire. Many were regretful for not gaining Lawrend’s support because of his talent. The emperor was simply too powerful for them to voice their differing opinion.
Trou and the two other Earth Mages from the Blumin Empire furrowed their eyebrows as they came to this thought. They had been following the emperor’s orders for so long that it became second nature for them to follow them.
Lawrend coldly stared at Auntie Relief, who was carried by a mage from the army. She looked pitiful, but Lawrend was disinterested in her pleas.
“I don’t have that kind of a hobby,” Lawrend replied.
“But I heard you love maids!”
“Hmph! Even if Master loves maids, he won’t like someone as old as you!” Ember sneered.
She stood beside Lawrend and embraced his arm. She was telling Auntie Relief that Lawrend already had a beautiful maid like her.
“No… I-I’m as good as new when I reverse my age!”
Auntie Relief was unwilling to lose all of her hope. She knew Lawrend was powerful and believed he wouldn’t fight them head-on without any guarantee of success. After all, she had experienced it the first time before.
“Alright. I will spare you if you do something for me,” Lawrend said as he smirked.
An idea suddenly came to his mind. It was a degenerate and cruel one, but it was necessary to make it easier to invade the Blumin Empire later.
“Anything! You can even impregnate me if you have that hobby!” Auntie Relief responded instantly.
Her eyes were filled with hope after hearing his words. It was like serving a dehydrated man with spring water.
“It’s nothing like that. I will be kind. Reverse your age to your 18th and strip in front of everyone here,” Lawrend said slowly.
Auntie Relief widened her eyes at his request. She was fine with offering her body to him since he was only one person, but if many saw her youthful body, she wouldn’t be able to face them again.
“Huh? I thought you were willing to bear my child, but you can’t even do something this simple? I guess you’re all tal–”
“I will do it!”
Auntie Relief prepared herself. Her determination to live won over everything else. There was always a second chance as long as she was alive.
Lawrend was surprised. This old lady’s desire for survival was something else.
He flew towards her and placed a palm on her forehead. He absorbed all of the mana the three envoys used to seal her. Instantly, the aura of an Earth Mage seeped out of her body.
It took her a few seconds before she was able to contain them. She escaped from the mage’s embrace and floated by herself.
“Auntie Relief, run!”
The eight Earth Mages swung their staffs together. This was their only chance.
“No! I will honor my word. I’m not so cheap as to treat them like dirt,” Auntie Relief responded coldly.
Her opinion of the eight Earth Mages was low. At the start, they pretended as if she was already dead. It infuriated her and made her realize she was only a pawn in their eyes that could be thrown away. Sentiments and past contributions didn’t matter.
“Formation!” Lawrend ordered.
Even with Auntie Relief’s words, the eight Earth Mages didn’t stop. They continued onward as if they couldn’t wait to tear them apart. Their insta-cast Grand Mage spells shot forward.
These spells were comprised of plant, fire, light, lightning, wind, and earth magic. The fire magic was the most brilliant because there were actually three fire-element Earth Mages in the eight.
The mage army quickly formed the Elemental Storm Army Formation. It wasn’t perfect, but it was enough for it to work.
The mages raised their staffs and chanted their own spells.
“Let’s delay them!” Lawrend ordered once again.
The three envoys flew to his side. They, Ember, and Lawrend shot their own spells in retaliation. The three envoys and Ember used Grand Mage spells, while Lawrend used Arch Mage spells with the power of the Grand Mage level.
Lawrend was quite freaky. He insta-cast two spells from his two hands. One fire and the other was lightning.
In total, it was a seven against eight. In this type of battle, even a small difference meant that they would lose the first exchange.
“I will help!” Auntie Relief shouted.
She was more than happy to rebel against the Blumin Empire. She felt insulted when they tried to pretend she was already dead, and they even swept her meritorious contributions under the rug as if those were nothing to be mentioned.
Auntie Relief wasn’t a combat-type light mage, but she still cast an offensive Grand Mage spell. It turned into a stalemate with eight Grand Mage level spells crashing against eight Grand Mage level spells.
The colorful radiance of the different spells mixed and created a small explosion.
*Boom!*
Lawrend, the three envoys, Ember, and Auntie Relief rapidly flew back.
“Good work, but now it’s time for my mage army to show their might,” Lawrend said as he approvingly nodded his head at Auntie Relief.
The mage army finished chanting their spells. A huge tornado appeared on top of them. It sucked in all of the different spells, and the tornado changed shape to a ball of raging elemental mana.
