Soon, everyone was gathered at the venue.
"Lawrend and Elena, are the two of you ready?" Galak asked.
"Yes."
"Yes."
The two of them responded at the same time.
Instantly, the whole area went silent. Everyone held their breaths in anticipation.
"Lawrend, I will show you how much I've grown," Elena said with a serene smile on her face.
"Show me," Lawrend calmly replied.
Elena closed her eyes and sparks of electricity appeared all over her body. The lightning mana present in the air around her started getting denser and denser, causing her to give off a fearful aura.
Her long purple-blue hair started floating menacingly.
She opened her eyes and a shockwave of lightning mana shot from her body. Her eyes glowed golden, and she slowly floated up from the ground.
"Hm?" Lawrend raised an eyebrow, seeing the color of her eyes.
He immediately realized that she utilized the Divine Lightning she took from his body before.
"Master, thank you for taking me in. I'll attack with my strongest magic. Please defend yourself," Elena said loudly.
She didn't care if the others around them heard them. She was worried about her master's safety and that takes priority above all.
"Master? What is she talking about?"
"Don't tell me there's something going on between the two of them?"
The audience speculated to themselves.
"Elena, if that's the case, I won't waste my time mincing my words. I'll counterattack," Lawrend said with a calm smile on his face.
His staff appeared in his hand, and he pointed it to her. He was feeling very excited. He could feel her seriousness and power. She worked hard to get this far, and he'll respect her by using his full strength.
"Hehehehe. You forgot what I can do, Master," Elena replied with a sweet smile on her face.
"O' great Amber, be my electron, turn to sprite, overwhelm and kill my enemies, Levin's Descent!" Lawrend chanted.
Elena lifted her hand before pulling it down rapidly.
*BOOM BOOM*!
As a lightning bolt shot from Lawrend's staff, another bolt of lightning shot from Elena's eyes.
Lawrend's lightning bolt split into 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, and so on until it was uncountable. It grew so rapidly that half of the area above them was already covered with his lightning magic.
On the other side, the same thing was happening, Elena used Lawrend's lightning spell! Moreover, it had the same strength even though it was color purple.
The audience was immediately shocked beyond belief. The Purple Thunder Grand Mage himself was speechless. He thought that Lawrend's lightning magic spell was something he created?
"What the!!!"
The instructors of the Lightning Department were clawing at their hairs. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
As for the representatives of the other departments, their mouths were opened wide in shock. Even if they denied it, no one would believe them.
The two Levin Descents intercepted each other and canceled out like positive and negative. The light blinded everyone and deafened them from the explosive noise.
Lawrend and Elena's cloaks ruffled from the explosive winds, but both of them still stood erect nevertheless.
Olivus was smiling as he watched from the side. He had never felt greater relief than realizing that he made the correct decision. He would have died for sure if he had insisted on continuing to fight because as a Lightning Mage, he had a poor defense.
The spells soon died down, and Lawrend and Elena could see each other again.
"Elena, you impressed me," Lawrend said with a smirk on his face.
"Thank you for the praise, Master. I wouldn't have been able to use this spell if you hadn't shown it to me," Elena replied.
"I'm so proud of you. I'll grant your wish later," Lawrend replied.
"R-Really?!"
Elena's eyes shone with excitement. Her wish was to bear his child. She was so excited that she didn't even want to fight anymore.
"That is if you can defeat me," Lawrend continued.
"Geez. Master, you're playing with fire," Elena said with a frown on her face.
She grew serious and an even more powerful aura started gathering around her body.
Lawrend smiled at her. He wanted to see what she was fully capable of. They never had the chance to fight against anyone so this would be his only chance to see her full power.
*BOOM*!
Lightning exploded on Elena's body, and she transformed back to her slime form. There were streaks of golden lightning all over her smooth body that glowed brightly.
"S-She's really not a human!" a lightning instructor exclaimed in disbelief.
The eyes of the students went round. They couldn't believe that their Lightning Empress was actually a slime all along.
All of them suddenly felt ashamed. Slime is the weakest monster in the world. For them to be inferior to one, was something that would haunt them in their lives forever.
'What is she doing?' Lawrend asked himself in thought.
"Master, after taking in so many of your essences, I finally had enough to evolve. Your words served as the catalyst for my transformation," Elena said.
"Y-You're evolving again!?" Lawrend exclaimed with wide eyes.
"Yes," Elena replied.
Her slime body emitted blinding amounts of purple light that made everyone turn their eyes away except for the instructors and Lawrend.
Above their heads, way up in the sky, an old man appeared out of nowhere.
He had a long white beard that reached to his feet. He wore gray buddhist clothes around his body.
"A Divine Creature? The unification is getting closer and closer, I see. Goddess, what is your plan?" the old man whispered before he disappeared as if he wasn't there in the first place.
Lawrend watched as Elena's body disintegrated into nothing and a liter of white liquid was left with abundant golden lightning mana in the surroundings.
His cheeks twitched, seeing the white liquid. His face went red as he realized that it was his 'essence'.. She really was saving it up.
