Chapter 86: A Noble Demon's Insight To Lightning Magic

"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.

"For others, it would kill them, if not, it would hurt them severely. But since you are a Lightning Mage, it will only give you pain."

Aezel explained to him.

"Wow."

Lawrend exclaimed in amazement. He didn't think of that. He couldn't help but remember the so-called electricity in his previous life's memories. He remembered that you can store electricity in a 'battery'.

His mind wandered as he thought about the possibilities of his lightning magic.

Aezel smiled seeing Lawrend ponder. She thinks that he's going the right way by doing so.

'Battery, battery…'

Lawrend sat down on the ground cross-legged. He closed his eyes and practiced magic. He thought of the ingredients to create a battery. He would need a cathode, anode, and electrolyte.

His blood could be the electrolyte. As for the anode and cathode… Lawrend had no idea. He opened his eyes with a frown. He couldn't think of a way to turn his body into a battery. If he could do it, he can store significantly more lightning mana than before. At least, in theory.

"Did you make a breakthrough?"

Aezel asked him as she watched him stand up.

"No. Unfortunately, I can't think of a solution to my problem."

Lawrend replied to her with a sigh.

"Fufufu. And here I thought that you're gonna impress me."

Aezel gave Lawrend a mocking laugh.

"..."

Lawrend's cheeks twitched seeing her laugh at him. He felt ashamed as a man.

"Don't worry. I'll still teach you."

Aezel reassured him with a smile.

"Okay."

Lawrend nodded his head.

"You can also get struck by my red lightning, but you will only learn what I know about lightning. It's different if the lightning is natural. Natural lightning can give you a lot of insight into how lightning works. By being struck once, you can advance and become a True Mage."

Aezel explained to Lawrend in detail.

Lightning cast by mages or demons does not reflect how lightning truly works. That's because people have a different understanding of how lightning works. It will be the ultimate goal of a mage or a demon to cast lightning that is perfectly similar to natural lightning.

"I can now understand how you are so strong."

Lawrend couldn't help but say to her. He was sure that if he followed her words, he would easily get stronger.

"Fufu. I could also be wrong. Don't take my words as gospel."

Aezel laughed seeing Lawrend look at her almost worshippingly.

"Really? Even though you're so strong already?"

Lawrend looked at her skeptically. He doesn't think that someone as strong as her could be wrong.

"My understanding of lightning magic is also the reason why I'm still an Arch Mage-level figure."

Aezel replied to him with a smile. Her words struck a chord in Lawrend's mind. He quickly realized that there are no hard truths in any world. That included the one from his previous life.

People will make mistakes, then a new generation of people will correct that. All the way, until there are no more mistakes to be corrected.

"I'm really thankful for your guidance."

Lawrend turned his body to her and bowed deeply. She guided him to a path straighter than before.

"Fufufu. No need to thank me yet."

Aezel smiled meaningfully at Lawrend.

"Your words are full of wisdom. I can't even express how much gratitude I'm feeling right now."

Lawrend said to her, full of emotion.

"Then, would you like to give up your life for me?"

Aezel suddenly said to Lawrend with a smirk.
