Chapter 508

Bright red plumes of fire revolved around Lawrend’s body. There were tiny golden snakes traveling around it. This phenomenon was a result of Lawrend’s newfound understanding. It wouldn’t be long before he would be able to fuse the two.

“Fire and Lightning magic fused together…”

Verkoli stared at Lawrend with wide-open jaws. He thought that Lawrend couldn’t become more genius, but he proved him wrong.

“They are not fused together. I’m still not at that step yet,” Lawrend replied with a humble smile.

“Really?” Verkoli asked doubtfully.

If that was not fused together, what would it look like when it’s fused together? Verkoli couldn’t help but shudder at that thought.

“What happened?” Lawrend asked.

“The Trunden Empire replied that they can only send a maximum of three Earth Mages, and they want to have some guarantee. Their envoys will arrive next week through the Yttervia Forest,” Verkoli said.

Besides the sea route, there were only two other entrances to the Undrasil Kingdom. One was to the north leading to the kingdom under the Trunden Empire, and the second one was to the southwest leading to the Blumin Empire’s imperial capital.

This was because of the huge wall that was the Stargazing Mountain. It was a natural protection against the major powers on the continent. If it weren’t for it, there would be no doubt that many powers would have tried to invade the Undrasil Kingdom.

In the end, the Undrasil Kingdom became stronger and stronger until they were at the precipice of becoming an empire.

“Will the three Earth Mages be arriving as envoys?”

“I don’t know. They didn’t clarify.” Verkoli shook his head.

“Good job. I will continue practicing my magic to prepare for the attack. Rally up the Arch Mages and High Mages in the city during this time,” Lawrend said.

“Are we… leading an army to attack them??” Verkoli asked in disbelief.

The Undrasil Kingdom had never participated in any wars themselves, which made them incapable of leading a legion on their own. He only imagined that Lawrend would challenge the Blumin Emperor to a fight. It seemed like he underestimated his ambitions.

“Mm. Tell them that I will personally teach them magic along the way. That will be their initial payment, and then I will bestow them titles after we win the war.” Lawrend nodded his head.

“Can I participate too!?” Verkoli shamelessly asked.

He had already stopped considering himself a senior in front of Lawrend. He only admired him in his heart. He was more than willing to pay just to be his student.

“I will personally teach you, but for now, stay here. The kingdom needs you,” Lawrend replied.

“I will do my best!” Verkoli shouted as he bowed respectfully.

“You can go now,” Lawrend nonchalantly said.

Verkoli left the room, and Lawrend continued fusing his Fire and Lighting Magic together. The day he finished would be the day he became an Earth Mage.

As soon as Verkoli announced it, many Arch Mages and High Mages volunteered to join the army. Some were initially reluctant but quickly changed their minds after hearing that Lawrend would teach them.

A year ago, everyone had seen his glorious battle against the Blumin Empire’s envoys. No one doubted that his teachings would give them benefits that would last for the rest of their lives.

That was especially the case for the Lightning Mages. There were only a few of them, but they were the rowdiest when the recruitment came. They all believed that his teachings would benefit them the most.

One of them came by with the name “Niko Alka.” He was a talented High Mage that recently became an Arch Mage. Due to the high of becoming an Arch Mage, he was oozing with confidence.

“Out of the way!”

Niko released his aura and scared the High Mages lining up in front of him before the Royal Castle. Verkoli personally supervised the recruitment process while the royal guards recorded the volunteers’ names.

“Damn these Lightning Mages…”

“F*ck!”

The High Mages that were scared away blatantly cursed. It wasn’t the first time that they had experienced such a thing. Almost all of the Lightning Mages were forcing themselves through the line.

“Huh?”

Niko turned his head and glared at the High Mages. They turned their heads away and pretended that they didn’t say anything.

“Hmph. If you have the capabilities, challenge me. Stop talking behind my back,” Niko snorted and ignored them.

The High Mages jumped in fright but pretended to not hear his words. Like they said, only the guilty will respond aggressively to accusations.

…

In front of the Rubrignis Clan, a red-haired lady walked inside the open gates and ignored the guards. The guards didn’t recognize her, and one of them attempted to stop her.

“Miss…”

Before he could finish his words, the grass in front of him exploded in a bright fiery explosion.

“Don’t touch me!” the lady shouted in disdain.

Her voice was soothing except for the sharp tone it contained.

“Y-Yes!”

The guard obediently walked back to his post.

The red-haired lady walked through the stone-tiled path and lazily stared at the scenery around her. It was as if they were too mundane to catch her attention.

She eventually arrived in front of the Clan Head’s mansion. This was where Lawrend’s father was currently staying at.

“Come out!” the lady fiercely shouted.

Rendal opened the door hastily. He looked at the red-haired lady in front of him and squinted his eyes. He could feel the rich fire mana swirling around her body. It was no doubt that she was powerful.

“Who are you? Where are the guards!” Rendal asked grimly.

He instantly thought that she had killed all of them.

Immediately after asking, he saw two silhouettes watching him from afar. They were the two guards assigned to guard the gate. The two of them were anxious, so they followed behind her.

Rendal sighed in relief after seeing that she didn’t kill them. His fierce demeanor lessened, and he waited for this lady to explain herself to him.

“Where is Cousin?” the fierce lady solemnly asked.

“Cousin?”

Rendal stared at her in confusion.
