Chapter 86: A Noble Demons Insight To Lightning Magic (1/2)
”You aren't eating?”
Lawrend asked Aezel.
”Digesting food is just a waste of energy at my level.”
Aezel replied to him. Digestion of food involves the contraction of the intestines. It may sound insignificant, but that can be a pretty significant amount of energy depending on what you ate.
”I see.”
Lawrend nodded in understanding.
”Show me what you can do with your lightning magic.”
Aezel said to Lawrend as they walked. She slowed her pace and walked beside him.
”I'll start with the spell.”
Lawrend replied to her. He stopped and opened his palm towards the ground in front of them.
”|Shock Arc|!”
Lawrend chanted, and an arc of purple lightning escaped his palm. It hit the ground and the explosive force lifted several leaves into the air. It also melted the ground like glass.
”You're a… What is it called?”
Aezel said to him, but she forgot the term used by humans.
”A Beginner Mage.”
Lawrend replied to her.
”You have purer mana, right? Your lightning spell is powerful.”
Aezel praised him with a smile.
”Thanks, but I don't think it's anything much compared to your power.”
Lawrend thanked her with a humble smile.
”Fufufu. Your talent can propel you to become a High Mage, at least.”
Aezel said to him with a laugh.
”I can also do this.”
Lawrend showed her the trick he uses to increase his mana reserves. He opened his hand, and small arcs of electricity escaped his fingers.
”Hohh, that's what you used earlier when you cooked the lion meat, right?”
Aezel looked at his hand with interest.
”Yes. I use it to increase my mana reserves.”
Lawrend nodded his head and explained to her.
”An interesting way to increase your mana reserves, but that is inefficient.”
Aezel said to Lawrend with a shake of her head.
”How?”
Lawrend asked her in confusion.
”What you are doing is controlling your lightning mana without any of the properties of lightning. It is the most inefficient way of practicing magic.”
Aezel explained to him.
'As expected of an Arch Mage-level figure.'
Lawrend looked at her in awe. She got more insights into the elements than Olgar.
”How do I do that?”
Lawrend asked her with curiosity on his face. His memories from his past life were useless. Magic is not a thing in that world.
”Get struck by lightning.”
Aezel replied to Lawrend candidly.
”S-Struck by lightning?? Wouldn't that kill me?”
Lawrend looked at her in doubt. He was just a Beginner Mage. There's no way he can survive a direct lightning strike.
