Chapter 821 Fighting West
"A good name for a loyal woman," Lawrend replied and nodded his head in satisfaction.
He felt a sense of peace in his heart now that he knew her original name.
"Do you know her?" West asked in surprise.
He lived for quite a long amount of time so he could naturally tell that Lawrend knew her. He didn't expect that someone like Lawrend would know her.
"She sacrificed herself to keep me alive," Lawrend replied.
He rubbed the faint line that ran down his nose. It was already almost gone as his body slowly removed the disagreement between the two bloodlines.
His two powerful bloodlines were returning to their roots and only leaving their essence. Soon, he would not even be a phoenix or a demon. He would start his own bloodline.
"Hernessia… She never changed. *Sigh*"
West shook his head in disappointment.
"So did you," Lawrend retorted.
"Ahahaha… That is true. I'm still greedy. I can still remember clearly her anger when she learned I wanted to sacrifice the Spirit World to become a Divine Mage," West muttered longingly.
He seemed to be at peace as he remembered his past.
"You wasted her loyalty," Lawrend replied and frowned.
He was angry that West betrayed Valentina's trust. She was such a sweet woman that was willing to sacrifice herself for him. If West took care of her, she wouldn't have ended up like that.
"Loyalty is nothing if I can't enjoy life forever," West replied and shook his head.
The smile on his face slowly disappeared and was replaced by a solemn stare.
"Why did you come here?" he asked in a deep voice.
"I have come here to complete my promise to Valentina," Lawrend replied.
"Is that the new name she gave herself?"
"Yes."
"Interesting. I know what you have been doing in my world. Just know, I'm still much, much, much, much stronger than you think," West replied.
"I know everything about you too," Lawrend casually replied.
"If you're so confident, I will teach you the meaning of Divinity," West said.
He closed his eyes and the whole world changed. Lawrend felt a powerful force of expulsion. The world pushed him up and tried to push him out by making a bulge in space.
"You can control this world?" Lawrend asked in surprise.
He easily resisted the rejection force. He was not a Divine Mage yet, but his abilities were way beyond that of a Heaven Mage.
This rejection force might be able to kick out someone like Sanaka, but it wouldn't work on him. Besides, he could control space too.
"Of course. It seems like you're not just for show."
West was quite talkative. It had been so long since he was able to speak to someone. Even though Lawrend was here to kill him, he took it lightly as he knew that his strength was only below the Goddess.
"Do you know that the Human World has a Divine Mage?" Lawrend asked.
"Are you talking about that geezer? He was simply lucky!" West responded angrily.
Veins appeared on his forehead. It was obvious to Lawrend that he was frustrated.
Lawrend didn't know the Divine Mage, but it seemed like he became Divine Mage without doing what West did. Thus, it was natural that West was angry at that Divine Mage.
The color of the light around Lawrend changed all of a sudden. The red sky of the demon world regained its blue sky and the mana returned to their perfect form.
It was just like he was back in the Human World.
"WHAT!?" Lawrend shivered in fear.
This ability to manipulate the laws of magic was something Lawrend could still not do. At most, he could manipulate it by sacrificing some magic, but that was very inefficient and wouldn't allow him to change the properties of the manas around them.
"Divinity is about being above all of creation. Everything is my toy," West muttered.
Lawrend widened his eyes. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.
If the Heaven Mage level was supposed to allow the mage to connect with the universe, then the Divine Mage level allowed the mage to directly influence the universe.
It was a huge difference, and it made sense why Divine Mages were hard to find! The difference between the two levels was like night and day!
Lawrend realized he made a mistake. His strength was still not enough to kill West.
Unless…
Lawrend took a deep breath and simulated the manas inside of his soul. He gathered them together and combined them into a singular whole. They turned into a purple-colored mana that was hard to control.
When Lawrend tried to make it go left, it was like he was trying to move an immovable mountain. It resisted his control.
Lawrend had no idea what this magic was, but it was made up of a true combination of all of his divine magics. That was right. This included space magic.
He lifted his right hand and the image of his planetary system appeared. All of a sudden, his control of the new divine magic increased.
It was 50% easier to manipulate. This was enough as Lawrend could use it now to cast a spell.
"Shock Arc!" Lawrend shouted.
The new divine magic displayed the effects of lightning mana and turned into a single bolt of purple lightning. This was just like the first spell that Lawrend had used before.
The distance between the two disappeared as the purple lighting shrunk space. It arrived at West and headed for his forehead.
West immediately exerted his control and the purple lightning exploded. He changed the properties of its magic.
But it wasn't that easy to stop a true combination of all the divine magics in existence. A tiny sliver of it slipped past and continued on.
*BOOM!*
West's head shot back like a whiplash from a car accident. He quickly recovered, but he was nauseous from the sudden movement his head experienced.
His hand shook as he touched his forehead.
For the first time in forever, fear appeared in West's heart once again. This was just like when he met the Goddess for the first time.
