Chapter 428 - A Stalemate

Ramiela hovered in front of the darkness and lightning mage.

"You have such pure light mana. You're even comparable to an angel," the darkness mage said.

He was beyond impressed. The greatest enemy in his life were light mages. Their elements were naturally at odds with each other.

"She does?"

The lightning mage was surprised to hear that information.

"How regretful. So many talented mages in this kingdom, but we're going to kill them," the lightning mage said and shook his head.

Ramiela ignored their talk, and her hair turned from blonde to black.

*FLAP*

Giant white wings appeared behind her back. Her gaze became cold and judgmental. She looked like they would judge them to their deaths.

"A real angel!?" the darkness mage shouted in disbelief.

Fear appeared on his face, and he flew slightly behind the lightning mage. The lightning mage also became scared. Angels were things of myth.

But as powerful Grand Mages, they knew better than that. It was said that angels were the hands of the Goddess. If you hurt one, a whole army will attack you.

"R-Relax, Miss Angel! We're not attacking anymore!" the darkness mage shouted in panic.

As the darkness mage here, he was fucked up. An angel's light mana is many times purer than any light mage in existence. If he tried to corrupt her mana with his darkness magic, he would be purified instead.

"Don't move!" Ramiela said coldly.

She was not also confident in fighting against them. She was as strong as a Grand Mage, but that was it. She wasn't in heaven. She can't unleash the power of an Earth Mage.

"Y-Yes!" the darkness mage nodded his head instantly.

The lightning mage nodded his head with him.



Aezel smirked at Creka. He was still hidden inside the tornadoes.

"Aren't you going to come out?" Aezel asked lightheartedly.

Although she appeared to be taking this very easy, she actually wasn't. Her whole body was taut, and she was ready to fly away if she sensed the slightest movement in the wind mana.

"A demon like you couldn't possibly know the concept of advantage," Creka retorted.

He appeared cowardly by hiding inside the tornadoes, but it was one of his strengths. As a wind mage, he would be an idiot if he did not do it.

"I will kill you for humiliating me in front of Master!" Aezel suddenly shouted angrily.

She felt pained when she saw Lawrend saving her earlier. In her mind, she should be strong enough to protect him. Instead, it turned to the other way around.

Powerful golden lightning mana flowed through her mana pathways. Similar to Lawrend, she glowed like a golden buddha. The lightning mana in the air gathered around her and boosted her strength.

Aezel remembered Verkoli's spell earlier, and she decided to copy it.

She tried to gather her golden lightning mana to form a sword, but it immediately collapsed. She might know how it looked like, but she didn't know how its underlying principles worked.

"Tsk. I should have learned more spells," Aezel said in annoyance.

She spent most of her time standing around beside Lawrend that she neglected to improve her strength. That mistake was biting her now. She doesn't know how to attack him.

The only thing she could do now was to use her most powerful spell and fill it to the brim with her mana.

Since Aezel failed to copy Verkoli, Creka took this chance to attack.

Aezel immediately flew away as she sensed wind mana gathered around the tornadoes.

Each of the tornadoes released a ball of wind. Inside them were countless wind blades.

If it hit her, she would become ground meat. But due to her quick thinking, the balls of wind couldn't keep up with her.

She avoided them several times before the spell in them collapsed back to elemental mana.

Aezel stopped and looked at the two tornadoes in front of her. She pointed her finger to the right one.

She tried to attack the left one earlier when Creka interrupted her. This time, she decided to attack the right one to see his response.

The clouds in the sky suddenly darkened. Mana escaped Aezel's body and was immediately picked up by the storm brewing on top of them.

Creka used his wind magic and interrupted the thunderstorm gathering on top of him, which slowed down the natural formation of the thunderstorm.

"You're annoying!" Creka shouted.

The two tornadoes flew towards Aezel. Creka was left behind by the right tornado out in the open.

The two tornadoes gathered together and formed a larger one. Aezel felt her body get sucked towards it.

The powerful winds further interrupted Aezel's lightning mana from getting up into the clouds. As a result, the formation of the thunderstorm halted to a stop.

"Hah! Don't you think it's that easy!" Creka sneered.

Aezel felt a sense of crisis. She was poorly matched with Creka. Her elemental mana wasn't something that could win against him.

"HELP!"

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

The sudden scream alarmed Creka. He turned his head and saw the plant mage die under Lawrend's hand.

The tendrils of flame spread throughout the plant mage's body. Then, that was it.

The wind that Creka made slightly tugged on the plant mage's body and turned him to ashes that drifted into the air.

"H-He turned to a hollow shell while his insides turned to ashes!" Creka exclaimed in disbelief.

Lawrend raised his head and looked at Creka in the eyes. Those eyes were fearless. Creka felt his heartbeat quicken in alarm.

Lawrend slightly glanced at the water mage. He was saying to Creka that he would also kill the water mage if he didn't stop.

"Grrr… Fine!"

The winds stopped, and the sky cleared. Aezel realized what was going on and also stopped.

The water mage felt a sense of crisis as he floated close to Lawrend.. He was ready to shoot his giant ball of water at him in the case that he tried to get close to him.
