Chapter 595 The Meaning Of The Truest Truth

In actuality, Lawrend’s understanding of the Theory of General Relativity wasn’t in-depth. He was bound to stop using it at some point.

Everything happened in a split moment. Ember was still screaming, but Lawrend was already done unwrapping Alexis’ gravity spell.

Lawrend controlled the space around Ember. He did it in a way that suddenly loosened the curvature of space. His space magic was still at the True Mage level, but because it was the magic of space, it was capable of exerting finer control over space.

Unlike Alexis’ Earth Mage spell, Lawrend’s spell directly acted upon space. It was more efficient and effective.

It was similar to someone moving a boat using wind sails. It would always lose to someone using a powerful motor that could directly push the boat.

A surprised look appeared on Ember’s face as she turned her head to Lawrend. She suddenly felt the gravity around her disappear. She felt weightless and confused.

“Come here,” Lawrend said.

Ember didn’t even think about it, but her body moved on its own. She flew to Lawrend and embraced him.

Lawrend took her in his arms and stared into her crimson eyes. Her eyes were filled with chaotic emotion. She wanted to say something, but she also cherished this peaceful atmosphere between them.

In the end, Ember let go of her body, and he carried her in his arms. A sense of peace and warmth permeated through her body from the physical contact with him.

“Impossible…”

Alexis was beyond shocked and confused. He was confident of his victory once he used his Earth Mage spell. But the scene in front of his eyes broke his expectations and imagination.

“How!? You didn’t even use an Earth Mage spell. I can also sense my magic is still working!” Alexis shouted like a madman.

It might not seem like it, but the Earth Vengeance spell was one of his proudest works. He made it after sensing the earth for thousands of years. It was a sure kill move, but Lawrend negated it without even using an Earth Mage spell.

“Your understanding of space is mediocre, and your understanding of magic might be outstanding, but you are limited by your element,” Lawrend replied calmly.

He raised his head and looked down at Alexis. His body exuded confidence and an unbeatable feeling.

The world was his stage, and everyone around them was the audience.

“Space..!? I used gravity magic. Stop spouting nonsense,” Alexis scoffed in disapproval.

Alexis didn’t believe Lawrend’s words. He didn’t have the concept of space and gravity tied together. His belief was that his Earth Mage spell created gravity magic.

It might be true, but it was far from the truth. It was similar to what Lawrend said before. ‘What you know now might be true, but was it really the truest truth?’

Lawrend always tried to look for the truest truth. This limited Alexis. If he had looked further, he might’ve already become a Heaven Mage. Unfortunately, the environment he grew up in lacked the idea of gravity and space tied together.

“I’m not gonna argue with you. Come, show me more of your Earth Magic,” Lawrend said and beckoned him with his hand.

The taunt infuriated Alexis. He took a deep breath and instantly calmed himself down. He could finely control his emotions as someone who had lived for a long time.

“If you have the guts, cast an Earth Mage spell with me,” Alexis challenged.

He was at his last straws. His confidence was shaken. This last spell would be his final attack. If it doesn’t work, he had no idea how he would win.

Lawrend was a demon. He realized it firsthand. He was a demon in the sense that he was beyond his understanding. How could someone like him exist!?

“Really? You’re giving me a chance?” Lawrend asked. A tiny amount of excitement could be sensed in his voice.

Alexis became worried when he sensed that excitement. For some reason, he felt uneasy.

Lawrend thought he wouldn’t be able to cast Earth Mage spells in this battle. He had already prepared himself to burst his Grand Mage spells. With the amount of mana inside his body, he could easily cast them continuously.

It wasn’t surprising why he was so excited. He could test his Earth Mage spell on a real person. It was even someone who was known as a legend. It would allow his spell to shine its greatest.

“Would you let me cast an Earth Mage spell then?” Alexis retorted.

He was uneasy, but he still went with it. He could feel Lawrend’s mana deep inside his body. He knew his Grand Mage spells wouldn’t be enough to slow him down at all.

If he really tried to slow down Lawrend with his Grand Mage spells, he would spend all of his mana first. The difference between them was enormous.

“Not really.”

He wasn’t really knowledgeable about Alexis. He could use some bizarre Earth Mage spell that would be hard for him to counter.

“You’re already a Heaven Mage. I’m basically dead already,” Alexis said with lacking confidence in his voice.

He still thought that Lawrend became a Heaven Mage earlier. The bystanders watching from the ground were shocked when they heard those words from Alexis.

“A Heaven Mage!?”

“The Emperor is dead…”

“This is amazing!”

Various reactions resounded throughout the crowd.

“Wait… But I’m not a Heaven Mage yet. I only became an Earth Mage,” Lawrend clarified to him while confused.

He didn’t understand why Alexis would say that.

“Don’t try to use your psychological tricks on me. I’m old enough to see through them,” Alexis replied and swatted the air in front of him as if Lawrend’s words were an annoying fly.

“Are you saying that because of the phenomenon earlier? That was a fluke. I also didn’t know why it happened,” Lawrend said, still trying to correct the misunderstanding.

He was worried Alexis would back out. How would he test his Earth Mage spell then?
