Chapter 266: Golden Lightning Pathway Struggle

Right now, Lawrend's golden lightning mana was flowing at a rate of 1km(0.6mi)/hour inside his body. It circled everywhere and had a chaotic pathway.

'If I can make my mana travel at the most efficient path, what difference would it make?' Lawrend thought to himself.

His mana was fluid like water. It should be easy to change its direction.

Lawrend picked his right arm first. The golden lightning mana in it flowed zigzag all over the place. It mimicked the way lightning travels.

He observed the flow for a while and thought about how he would change this.

After what seemed to be a long time, Lawrend thought of a solution. His mana would zigzag, but it would be done in an orderly pattern. Then they would enter inside his bone before returning to circulate to other parts of his body.

'Alright, it's decided,' Lawrend thought to himself.

He started with his upper arm and moved the direction of the golden lightning mana, but to his dismay, it wouldn't budge.

'Wha..?'

Lawrend was confused. This was his body and his lightning mana. There shouldn't be any problem with him changing its pathway.

'I can't change the pathway?' Lawrend thought to himself, confused.

He just spent a long time thinking of another and more efficient pathway when he realized that it wasn't possible to change it. He couldn't believe it. There must be a way that he could change the pathway of his golden lightning mana.

'Move!'

He exerted a great amount of his willpower but all he did was stop the movement of his mana in that specific spot. It didn't show any signs of changing the pathway of the mana.

'What is going on?'

As a last resort, Lawrend tried it in different parts of his body, but the results were the same. The pathways of his golden lightning mana were already set in stone.

He gave up and opened his eyes. He then raised his head and looked up at the full moon hanging in the sky.

"I thought I was so clever… As expected, magic is not simple. If anyone could change the pathway of their mana, everyone would have been doing it. I should've heard about it if that is the case," Lawrend muttered out loud.

"Master, what are you talking about?" Elena suddenly appeared in front of him.

Lawrend turned his head to her and asked, "Were you waiting for me?"

"I was. The coldness of the surroundings felt normal for me. The others would be shivering out here," Elena replied.

"I see. How long have I been practicing magic?" Lawrend asked.

"About 5 hours? Everyone is already asleep."

"Huh. That's shorter than what I thought," Lawrend replied with surprise.

Examining the pathways of his mana and thinking of ways to alter it felt like forever to him.

"Let's go in, Master. You must be feeling cold. If you want, I can 'heat' up your body," Elena said to him with a seductive smile on her face.

"Ah, I'm good. I think I can heat up my body with my lightning magic," Lawrend replied almost instantaneously.

He actually never tried it. It was just an excuse he thought of on the spot. In his curiosity, he closed his eyes and made very tiny arcs all over his body. The arcs of electricity generated heat that brought his body up to a normal body temperature.

"Wow! Master is so skillful," Elena said in admiration.

She saw the whole process with her eyes. Her master controlled the lightning mana inside his body so skillfully that even she, who was a lightning slime, felt inferior to him.

"It's nothing. I still have more to learn about magic," Lawrend replied calmly.

He wasn't spouting humble bullsh*t. He really thought that he still needed to learn more. After all, he couldn't even change the pathway of his lightning magic. It seemed simple at first, but it was actually impossible.

"Master, you don't have to be humble. I admire you so much! I gained interest and learned a lot about lightning magic thanks to you," Elena replied.

"Oh right, how strong are you?" Lawrend suddenly asked.

"I'm a High Mage already, Master. Why are you asking?" Elena replied, confused. She didn't realize that he asked that to change the subject.

"Do you think you have time tomorrow? I want to learn more about lightning magic with you," Lawrend said.

"Gladly! I'll skip class for you, Master," Elena replied.

"Thank you. That'd be a great help."

"No worries, Master. I'll do anything for you," Elena replied with a smile on her face.

"Okay. Let's go inside. I'm feeling sleepy," Lawrend said to her.

"Okay~"

Elena followed after him happily. She was excited to sleep and wake up tomorrow. Then, she will spend a lot of time with her Master. The two of them will bond together and strengthen their relationship.

'Kyaa~! Master might even consent that I can give birth to his babies,' Elena thought with a blush on her face.

Her imagination ran wild of what was gonna happen tomorrow. It would be her chance to one-up everyone and directly give birth to a baby then and there! Their baby would become the eldest once she does that.

Lawrend noticed the look on Elena's face as he glanced behind him.

'Wow. She must be pretty happy to spend time with me,' Lawrend thought.

They arrived in front of their room and entered it. Everyone else was already sleeping.

"Mm? Master?"

Aleshia sat up and looked at Lawrend with blurry eyes as she sensed them opening the door.

"It's me, Aleshia. You can go back to sleep," Lawrend answered her.

Aleshia looked at him one last time before she snuggled back in the bedsheet. She was too sleepy.

"Goodnight, Elena," Lawrend said.

"Mm. Goodnight, Master," Elena replied.

And so, the two of them walked towards their beds and slept. Lawrend held Aezel's hand, who was sleeping beside him. He was still glad that it was finally solved.
