“Hm… Lilith, I… I’m really busy today.” Lathel hesitated, trying to convince Lilith: “Besides, tomorrow, with you and everyone to protect me, I will definitely be safe.”
“At that time, I will listen to you and let you help me level up, as no one will know my true strength.”
“Even if they want to kill me, they don’t know how strong I am, right?”
“Hm… what you say is quite reasonable.” Lilith pouted, tilting her head in thought.
“Hahaha… yes, it’s very reasonable. So… I’ll return to the castle, you…”
“Wait!” Before Lathel could finish his sentence, Lilith spoke up, interrupting his words: “That’s not good either. What if you are in danger right when the third round takes place?”
“Then I have to accept my fate.” Lathel said somewhat impatiently: “If neither you nor Principal Farmyrth can protect me, then it’s only natural that I die.”
“No! Quick, get those ingredients out; otherwise, I’ll…” Lilith said as she stretched out her hands, her face showing greed like a wolf that had just seen a rabbit.
Lathel was scared, and he covered his chest with both hands, while continuously stepping back: “Oy! Oy! Oy! You… stop, don’t come close to me.”
Lathel finally had to listen to Lilith and take out the space bag that Farmyrth had given him.
Lilith held the space bag in her hand, and without even checking to see what was inside, she immediately took out everything.
The ingredients inside the space bag floated above Lathel’s head like a cloud.
Lathel could see that there were several herbs, and high-ranking medicines.
When Lilith saw these things, her eyes became extremely serious. This was the first time Lathel had seen that expression on Lilith, he didn’t bother her as he stood still and looked at her.
Lilith now takes out three things from her space bag. Although Lathel didn’t know what those three things were, Cauldron suddenly spoke up.
“Kid, it seems… that girl really likes you.”
“Hmm?!” Lathel was startled, frowned, and asked: “What do you mean?”
Cauldron explained: “Do you see the lightning and flames trapped in those two glass balls? Those are Heavenly Lightning and Heavenly Flame.”
“Those two things are extremely difficult to find, their rarity is even higher than an essence flame. Although their purpose is not to attack or be used like Essence, they have a very special function.”
“They can connect all materials with the same elemental energy together perfectly without causing any conflicts between those materials.”
“What?!” Although Lathel did not understand how Heavenly Lightning and Heavenly Flame worked, he could imagine their power.
They could connect all materials with the same elemental energy together without causing conflict…
That is like pouring 10 chemicals with similar properties into the same jar, but they still fuse together without conflicting with each other.
“And that brown lotus flower…” Cauldron stammered: “Hm… I’ve never seen it before, and I don’t know what it is. But I think its use is no different from the other two.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded and silently observed Lilith. .
She also didn’t pay attention to Lathel; she was just focusing on the three things she had prepared that were floating in front of her and the items that were flying above Lathel’s head like a cloud.
Suddenly, Lilith raised her hands; her right hand radiated a blue aura, while her left hand radiated a purple aura.
Two types of aura immediately covered all the items flying above Lathel’s head. The Heavenly Lightning and Heavenly Flame flew into the middle of that cloud of items and disintegrated into countless particles of light.
After that, those light particles attached themselves to the items flying above Lathel’s head. Then the medicines and ingredients with the elemental properties of lightning and fire were immediately dissolved into small particles of light and fused together.
The fusion speed was extremely fast. Lathel could see that the items belonging to the elements of lightning and fire had merged together, turning into two gems flying in the sky and emitting a dazzling aura.
But the remaining unsuitable items fell to the ground. However, Lathel no longer paid attention to them; he only looked at the two gems in the sky.
“Lathel! Be prepared; I will put two crystallised gems of the elements lightning and fire into your body.” Lilith suddenly spoke up.
Lathel nodded, indicating he was ready.
“Good!” Lilith smiled: “I trust my man.”
As soon as Lilith finished speaking, those two gems immediately rushed towards Lathel, entered his chest, and then disappeared.
Lathel felt a pain in his head, as if someone had hit him with a hammer. The terrible pain made it impossible for him to stay awake, and the scene in front of him gradually blurred.
Then… his consciousness fell into darkness.
A moment later, Lathel opened his eyes and realised he was in his own energy space.
Suddenly, the sky in this space, which was originally very dark, now had an extremely dazzling light appearing.
Lathel squinted his eyes, raised his head, and saw two gems the size of a tennis ball, coloured red and purple, slowly descending.
Both gems radiated terrifying magical energy. Even though Lathel was standing on the ground, he could feel that huge source of energy pressing on his shoulders.
Then the gems arrived in front of him. At this moment, he frowned because… he didn’t know how to use these two stones.
“Master…” Anna’s voice rang out.
At this time, Anna and the Lightning Dragon flew in front of him.
Anna suddenly wrapped herself around him as if this were normal. Lathel felt he couldn’t ask Anna to stop doing this, so he didn’t care anymore.
“This is the first time I have seen two sources of energy this potent. I’m afraid that even an essence flame cannot have such a large amount of energy.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded: “That’s right, but… what should we do with these two things? Eat them, or…”
“Master…” Anna suddenly stretched out her snake tongue, licked his cheek, then moved to his neck: “You can swallow it. After swallowing it, your fire element energy will increase greatly.”
“it will increase at least three times as much as it is now.”
“Hm…” Lathel rubbed his chin, as if he were too familiar with Anna’s actions: “Anna, what if I let you absorb it?”
“Heh?!” Anna suddenly stopped what she was doing, retracted her long tongue, separated from Lathel, flew in front of him, and looked at him in shock.
“You…” Anna frowned, then sighed and said: “If I devour that fire energy gem, I can definitely evolve. However…”
“After I evolve, you will lose the right to control me, so I… can kill you and regain my freedom.”
“Ah! Then… you better use it.” Lathel nodded, calming it down.
Anna: “…”
“Oy! Do you understand what I just said? I said… if I…”
“I understand!” Lathel smiled and said very confidently: “However, I believe that you will not do such things, right?”
Anna looked at him in surprise: “You… trust me to this extent? You must know that if I reach a higher rank, I can destroy this place, and leave your body.”
“After this place is destroyed, the worst case scenario is that you will die, the best case scenario is that your energy pool will be destroyed, you… will completely lose your qualifications to continue being a magician. .”
“Hahaha… I said… I trust you.” Lathel smiled and said: “Anna, we haven’t spent much time together, however, I can trust you the same way you trust me.”
“I trust you…” Anna frowned, confused.
“When confronting the Fire Drake.” Lathel smiled, reached out, and placed her hand on Anna’s head: “At that time, you chose to stay by my side rather than leave and look for your own freedom.”
“That alone is enough to make me trust you, without doubt or regret.”
Anna opened her eyes wide and looked at him as if wanting to know what he was thinking right now.
However, there really wasn’t any doubt in Lathel’s eyes, which were extremely clear, and steadfast…
Suddenly, Anna felt she could completely trust the young man in front of her, using her life to light his life.
“Good! Hahaha… I hope you won’t regret it.”
Listening to Anna’s words, Lathel just smiled and replied: “Of course I won’t regret it. You should swallow that gem.”
After Lathel finished speaking, Anna flew next to the floating fire element stone, opened her mouth, and swallowed it.
Right after that, Lathel suddenly felt hot, as if he were being burned by a fire.
No, his body was actually being burned by a fire, and this caused him so much pain that he lost consciousness.
Lathel lay on the ground, his body surrounded by a fiercely burning fire.
Anna glanced at Lathel and muttered: “Come on, Lathel… our lives… will become even more dazzling.”
As soon as she finished speaking, another flame also enveloped Anna’s entire body into a fire egg.
The lightning dragon looked at Lathel, then looked at Anna, feeling a bit confused. It looked towards the lightning element stone again and slowly approached it.
As the lightning dragonlooked at that stone, greed flashed in his eyes. To it, that stone seemed to be seducing it, and it felt like swallowing the stone.
Suddenly, the lightning-dragon stopped what it was doing. It looked up at the sky and saw two giant eyes looking at it, making it so scared that it trembled.
“Your mission ends here.” A voice rang out, and the lightning dragon suddenly turned into countless white light spots and disappeared into space.
The lightning element stone flew high, moving close to those two giant eyes.
After that, that gem also disintegrated into countless particles of light, then merged into the two giant eyes in the sky.
The giant eyes closed, then slowly disappeared. A moment later, a white figure suddenly appeared on the ground.
That figure looked towards Lathel, and a cacophony of voices sounded: “Kid, you surprised me.”
