"Ah! Quasars!"
Lawrend became excited just imagining it. A quasar is a black hole that spews out powerful jets of matter that creates mighty bursts of electromagnetic energy. It was an incalculable amount of times stronger than his Lightning Pillar spell.
"I have an idea…"
Lawrend suddenly thought of something. To mimic the effect, what if he rotated his lightning mana so fast that the energy couldn't escape unless he released it? The premise was somewhat similar to his Supernova spell, but it was much simpler.
He didn't need to combine two elements together. He only needed to figure out a way to spin his divine lightning mana unbelievably fast.
The more Lawrend thought of the idea, the lesser his excitement became. It was an amazing idea, but executing it was nearly impossible. He could try combining his lightning magic with his space magic, but that would defeat the purpose.
Before Lawrend realized it, it was already morning.
"Master, it's time," Aezel said from outside the door.
"I'm coming," Lawrend replied and stood up.
He knew that he had to think of his Earth Mage Lightning Spell carefully, so he didn't feel worried. He was actually hopeful that he would be able to get a random inspiration while outside.
Lawrend's group was easily recognizable due to the huge size of their group and his maids' uniform. The Earth Mages he taught quickly gathered at the north gate as they realized he was planning to leave.

Kilin was the first to arrive.
Lawrend turned around and saw the old man looking at him with reluctant eyes. It had only been two days, but Kilin felt attached to him. His lessons gave him so much wisdom and confidence he would rather serve by his side forever.
"I will be leaving. I hope you all learned something from my lessons," Lawrend said in a casual manner.
Kilin became emotional. He kneeled and touched his forehead on the ground.
"Thank you! I know I can't hinder a mage as great as you!"
The others quickly followed Kilin's example and prostrated to Lawrend. Their gratitude knew no bounds as their feelings of pride didn't matter.
A lot of the weaker mages watching from the sidelines were shocked to see the astounding scene. This was something worth recording in the annals of history in the clan.
"TEACHER, MAY YOU HAVE A SAFE JOURNEY! THANK YOU FOR LEADING US TO THE TRUTH!"
They didn't know how it was possible, but the words that came out from the mouths of the Earth Mages were the same. It was as if they all came to a mutual understanding on how to thank Lawrend, even though they had never planned for it.
Lawrend nodded his head and turned around.
His children and his maids also turned their heads back and left the city. They flew up and quickly disappeared over the horizon.
"What a week…"
Many sighed at the changes that happened so quickly. The days in the city usually passed by mundanely as each day was similar to the one several dozen years ago.
…
Lawrend's group flew for several hours before a dot appeared over the horizon. It was another city.
"Master, we're approaching Virgo City. It's as big as Eridanus City and has a similar amount of Earth Mages," Ember explained.
She was their tour guide.
"Mm. We will check out the market there and leave the next day," Lawrend answered.
Lawrend was eager to reach the Phoenix Main Hall. He wanted to see the center of this clan that was able to live in the middle of such a powerful volcano. And a great part of his curiosity came because it was the source of his bloodline.
They dropped down to the south entrance and did the same check. The city guard checked their bloodline and let them in.
"Ha, ha, ha! You have finally arrived, my unfaithful princess!"
A snarly and prideful voice stopped them before they could proceed into the city. He was a man that appeared to be in his early twenties. He had red hair and a squarish handsome face.
"Who are you?" Lawrend coldly asked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe felt irritated to hear him call Ember 'unfaithful'. They had just arrived, and someone had already insulted one of his maids. It was understandable why he was angry.
"Silence! I'm Prince Luther of the Ignis Clan. You don't have the right to interrupt me, Outsider!" the man rebuked with great anger.
"Luther? Haven't you already lost to me!" Ember replied back with a much fiercer momentum.
She took a step forward and raised her nose high. She looked like a fiery phoenix in a maid outfit.
"Shut up! Don't you dare talk about the past! I'm different now!" Luther screamed in anger.
She touched his most sensitive spot by talking about his defeat against her before. It had always been a thorn in his mind. He became the Prince just to prove that point that he was stronger than her.
He not only wanted to defeat her in terms of magic, but he also wanted to defeat her in bed. It was the only way he could be satisfied as a man.
But when he heard the news that she had a son and was acting lovey-dovey with another man, he quickly departed from the Phoenix Main Hall to Virgo City.
"Hmph! I had defeated you in the past. What makes you think I won't be able to do it again!?" Ember shouted.
She took another step forward, and her fiery mana leaked around her, causing the crowd watching to take a step back.
"You unfilial and unfaithful bitch! I challenge you to a duel! If you lose, you will kill your son with that man and become my maid! I originally wanted you to become my wife, but I changed my mind!"
"You bet!"
Ember didn't need to think about it and immediately agreed. This not only became a feud between her and him, but it became a feud between her master and him.
"I'll be a man for once. Step back," Lawrend said and pulled Ember back with his hand.
