"Kid, if you weren't so ambitious to take the throne, we would have invited you to the Imperial Capital," the water mage said.
He was hesitant to kill Lawrend. Such a talented kid would become popular in the capital. He would be able to grow strong quickly and help the empire in its wars.
"Why don't you guys return to the empire instead?" Lawrend retorted.
"Tch. This guy is done for," the water mage clicked his tongue.
"Let's do the usual, brother," the plant mage said.
"Alright."
Lawrend's face became solemn when he heard their words. He prepared himself for their attack.
Powerful golden lightning mana surged through his mana pathways and was ready to burst at a moment's notice.
"Sedsed's Bountiful Sea!"
The water mana in the air was attracted, and they sucked in water vapor crazily. A giant ball of water rapidly appeared.
Powerful winds appeared around the water mage. It was almost as if he was a wind mage.
Seeing that attack, Lawrend decided to interrupt what they were about to do. Although he could fight a Grand Mage right now, he wasn't really a true Grand Mage. He doesn't dare to accept a spell combined by two real Grand Mage experts.
"Lightning Sprite!"
Lawrend released a powerful arc of lightning from his hand. It split into 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc. It was not as strong as Levin's Descent, but it was enough to interrupt the water mage.
Each of the arcs of lightning was a third of a Shock Arc spell's strength. Right now, that meant that it was as strong as a Beginner Mage's spell.
The water mage furrowed his eyebrows and abandoned his ball of water.
He flew away, and the giant ball of water exploded towards Lawrend. Each of the tiny droplets of water absorbed the lightning mana and stopped it from reaching towards the water mage and the plant mage.
"Brother, I will restrict him!" the plant mage shouted.
He hovered above them, and a staff appeared in his hand. The staff was made by intertwined thick vines, and it oozed with a powerful plant vitality. The plant mage pointed it towards Lawrend.
"Tree Spirit's Shackles!"
A seed coalesced in front of the tip of the staff. Powerful plant mana gathered in that instant before it was thrown out towards Lawrend.
Lawrend powered his whole body with his golden lightning mana and flashed to the side.
He turned his head to the side and saw the seed hit the ground. It exploded, and a giant vine plant appeared. It squeezed around at the buildings below them. There were unfortunate citizens that ended up getting crushed to death by the spell.
Lawrend furrowed his eyebrows. It would be bad if they continued fighting in here. The city would be in ruins by the time they ended.
As Lawrend got distracted by the plant mage, the water mage already silently made a giant ball of water.
"Touch of Fire!" Lawrend shouted.
He swung his arms to the plant mage. The giant flame that appeared on top of his hand flung out towards the plant mage like a giant blade of flames.
The plant mage hugged his staff in front of him.
Suddenly, a powerful plant vitality covered his whole body. A giant flower appeared under him and covered him with its petals.

The flames touched the petals, and a brilliant green and orange light sparked. The flower tried to resist the flames, but a few seconds later, the flower burnt to ashes.
At that time, the flames also died down. The plant mage survived Lawrend's magic.
Lawrend slightly glanced at the water mage. The ball of water was already more than twice the height of the water mage.
"Master, let me help you!"
That voice sounded like the voice of an angel to Lawrend. He looked down to his right and saw Ella flying in the air.
"Ella!?" Lawrend exclaimed in shock.
"O' Void, a pleasure to meet you, time is relational, you are the guardian of space, Space Lockdown!" Ella chanted.
A powerful force gathered around the plant mage. He tried to move, but no matter what, he couldn't.
He could feel himself moving his arms, but nothing was happening in reality. The space around him was folded in a way that every movement gets returned back to its previous position.
He also tried to fly up, but that was also futile. He couldn't move any part of his body.
"What did you do!?"
Although the plant mage shouted, his voice wasn't actually audible outside.
Lawrend realized this was his chance.
He closed his eyes, and powerful fire mana gathered around him.
The water mage was too focused on his spell and didn't realize that his buddy was in danger. After all, if he needed help, he would have shouted already.
Unbeknownst to him, his brother was about to die.
Lawrend flew and stopped 5 meters in front of the struggling plant mage. The panic on his face was very evident.
As for Ella, she was sweating bullets. Her mana was draining from her body rapidly.
O' Ifrit, give my hands warmth in this winter, give me the power to fight my foes, light them on fire, burn them to ashes, Fire Disintegration!" Lawrend chanted.
He flew the last five meters and touched the plant mage.
"HELP!"
At that moment, the plant mage finally managed to escape.
Lawrend's hand easily touched his left shoulder.
"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!"
The plant mage sensed the power gathered in Lawrend's hand and despaired. It was something he wouldn't be able to resist at this distance.
That was the moment the water mage realized something was wrong.
He turned his head and looked at the plant mage. He watched in horror as tendrils of flame appeared on the plant mage's skin. It spread through his body and covered it in a few seconds.
The plant mage stopped screaming and stared at Lawrend with regretful eyes.
