"Fufufufu. I'll impress you, Master," Aezel said.
She then flew up into the sky and hovered directly at the center of the lake.
She closed her eyes and silently floated in the air.
Everyone held their breaths in anticipation of her display of power. A few minutes later, Aezel suddenly opened her eyes and pointed her finger to the lake.
*BOOOM!*
It was a deafening explosion as an arm thick arc of golden lightning exited her finger and shot to the lake. It was instantaneous, and the lake's water exploded outwards in a brilliant display.
The water caved down for at least several tens of meters, and then it rushed back to fill the massive gap she created.
*FWOOP!*
The water shot up towards her in a large splash, instantly covering her whole body.
"Ohhhhhh! That's cold!" Aezel moaned loudly.
She wiped her face and stared down at the water in amazement. She wasn't ready for it when the water rushed back and splashed towards her.
"That was amazing, Aezel!" Lawrend shouted to her with a smile on his face.
That shot of her created a small wave that hit their feet.
"Fufufufufu! This is exciting, Master," Aezel laughed excitedly.
She cracked her knuckles and stared at the lake once more.
"Sister Aezel is so strong. If that were done in the city, a large part would have exploded. It was thanks to the impact absorption of the water that it wasn't that big," Elena commented with admiration in her eyes.
"Forgive me, Master," Aezel muttered.
"Huh?"
Lawrend immediately became confused when he heard her words.
She opened her palm and pointed it to the lake.
*BOOOOOOOM!*
A very thick and large arc of golden lightning shot out from her hand and hit the still raging water below, and then a powerful shockwave blasted from her to the surroundings and hit Lawrend's group.
"She did the thing I told her not to do!" Lawrend shouted in anger.
Her strength was very powerful. If the powerful bigshots in the surrounding region weren't getting old, they would have sensed her powerful burst of strength.
The water caved in for a hundred meters and almost reached the bottom of the lake. It then rushed back in similar to earlier, but this time, it shouldn't be underestimated.
Aezel knew that it was gonna happen, so she rapidly flew away.
*BOOOOMM!*
It was another explosion.
A large column of water shot up to the sky and turned to a mist that rained down to the lake's surroundings.
*Fwooooosh*
Lawrend's group was splattered with a large amount of water. In it were some fishes and even monster fishes.
Lawrend pointed to a large fish heading his way and blasted it with his Shock Arc, and Elena did the same. As for the others, they each employed their own techniques.
Grape hid behind Amene, who shot the fish up in the air, and Ella hid behind Aleshia, who waved her hand and made the fishes rot to nothing.
"Fufufufu. How was that, Master?" Aezel asked proudly with her chest puffed out.
"Aezel, why didn't you listen to me?" Lawrend asked her furiously.
"I… Wasn't it impressive, Master?" Aezel asked, panicking.
"No, it wasn't. You're exposing yourself to danger by announcing to every powerful being in the surrounding region that you existed," Lawrend replied to her solemnly.
"I'm sorry, Master…"
Aezel lowered her head in shame. She thought that her Master would be amazed when she displayed her awesome strength.
"Aezel, I know you're proud of your strength, but if you aren't gonna listen to me, your Master, then what was the point?"
"Forgive me, Master. Please punish me."
Aezel stood in front of him and prostrated to him with her face touching the ground.
"Of course. I'll punish you later. For now, stand up. We're going home," Lawrend replied to her in a temper.
Aezel curled her lips and stood up. She avoided making eye contact with him in shame.
"Clova, let's go home," Lawrend said.
"Okay."
They then started riding on her back once again.
She extended her wings and flapped into the air, but just as she was gaining altitude, someone arrived.
"Halt! Clova Whitebird, what do you think you are doing?"
"Junova Undrasil, what are you doing here?"
Clova stopped and stared at the old man in front of them warily. He had a long white beard, and he wore a brown cloak.
"G-Grandfather!?" Humility exclaimed in shock.
"Kasina!?" Junova exclaimed in disbelief.
"It's him," Aezel muttered and stared at the old man with sharp, hawk-like eyes.
"Master, he was that old man from before!" Elena shouted.
Lawrend recognized that old man. He was that Grand Mage that was in pursuit of Aezel before she kidnapped him.
"Kasina, why are you riding that white roc?" Junova asked Humility with furrowed eyebrows.
"Grandfather, I… It's a long story," Humility replied in embarrassment.
"Grandfather… Then he's the previous King!?" Lawrend exclaimed in realization.
"Yes. He's one of the pillars of the Undrasil Kingdom. If it weren't for him, the Purple Thunder Grand Mage, and the Mountain Sword of the Sword Guild, then the kingdom wouldn't be able to resist the invasion of the other kingdoms," Humility explained.
"Then, there shouldn't be a problem," Lawrend replied and relaxed his tense nerves.
As long as he wasn't an Earth Mage, then there's nothing for them to worry about. After all, Aezel can already compete with one with her current strength.
"And also, why is the Third Princess of the Undrasil Kingdom wearing a maid uniform?" Junova asked with a frown on his face.
He can't believe that his favorite Granddaughter was lowering herself to the status of a mere maid. He turned his eyes to Lawrend and stared at him furiously.
"Grandfather, it's not his fault! Let us go, okay? I'll explain it to you," Humility shouted when she noticed him looking at Lawrend.
"You have a lot of explaining to do. This guy is a Rubrignis, huh? I never thought that they would be so shameless as to humiliate my granddaughter," Junova said.
He thought that Lawrend was a part of the Rubrignis Clan because of his red hair.
