Chapter 251: Clearing The Ancient Temple (1/2)

Lawrend felt a headache coming soon. He didn't expect Eleanor to turn out like this. Was not having sex for this long broke her or was she already broken from the start?

”...Fine. You also better tell me any spellbooks in here,” Lawrend agreed reluctantly.

”Okay~ This, this…”

And so, Eleanor pointed books to Lawrend, and he took them inside his storage ring. He tried to memorize what kind of a spell she talked about.

”What's an Earth Magic Vibrant Forest Spell?” Lawrend couldn't help but ask after seeing an Earth Magic for the first time.

It wasn't an Earth Element spell. It was a power level for a spell. The Earth level.

”That's a spell a Plant Element Earth Mage would use. It will turn a whole region into a vibrant forest once it was used. Hence, the name,” Eleanor explained.

”Is the Earth above Grand?” Lawrend asked.

”Of course, it is. Their power is beyond your imagination right now. I'm assuming that they would be backing whole empires in the continent.”

”Holy… I suddenly feel so insignificant…” Lawrend murmured in disbelief.

A Grand Mage already felt insurmountable, yet here he was, hearing that an Earth Mage is stronger than a Grand Mage. He wondered when he would reach such a level. It made his blood boil and hopeful for his future. He has Divine Lightning. Once he reaches such a level, it would surely turn into something awesome!

”I was even stronger at my peak. Fufufu,” Eleanor said proudly.

”I remember… Was it Heaven Mage? You're a Heaven Mage before? That's stronger than an Earth Mage, right?” Lawrend asked as he remembered the words he heard in the dream Daisy showed him before.

”Ohh! You're right. At this day and age, I'm guessing that a Heaven Mage would be protecting a whole continent,” Eleanor replied with an excited sheen in her eyes.

”I see. No hope of thinking that far into the future right now. I better finish this and go home,” Lawrend said with a shake of his head.

He felt worthless all of a sudden. Was all of his achievements mentionable in front of such powerhouses? Of course not. They would laugh at his achievements. He isn't even a High Mage right now.

”Yes, yes. After that, we can spend some alone time together,” Eleanor said. You could imagine that she was nodding her head right now.

”Yeah… What book is this?”

Lawrend ignored that remark of hers and continued browsing through the books on the bookshelf. Before long, he finished going through all of them.

There were 17 Arch Mage spells, 4 Grand Mage spells, and a single Earth Mage spell. There was no Heaven Mage spell. Lawrend was hopeful to see one.

”Why are the spells in books anyway?” Lawrend asked curiously.

”The books explain how and why the spell works.”

”I see. Good to know. It's time to leave then,” Lawrend replied. He already got what he needed.

”You aren't gonna take any of the Sword Arts?” Eleanor asked him in surprise.

A Sword Art is like a spell, but it contains instructions on the sword. It's what a swordsman would use in a fight.

”Uhh… On second thought, I think I do,” Lawrend replied as he remembered Aleshia.

...

”Shadow Rending Sword Art?” Lawrend said as he stared at the book in his hand.

”Yes. It's a Sword Art that specializes in assassinations. Just like what you asked me to pick,” Eleanor replied.
