801 Locking A Heaven Demon
Lawrend smiled at her and nodded his head. This was a chance for him to teach her more about Space Magic.
Lawrend flicked his fingers, and a bright flash of light blinded the group of Heaven Demons.
When they could clearly see again, Lawrend was already gone from his previous position. Krives looked around and saw Lawrend behind another one of the Heaven Demons that shouted for him to stop.
“Behind you, Polka!” Krives shouted.
Unfortunately, Lawrend’s hand was faster. He grasped Polka’s neck and choked her. She jolted in fright due to the suddenness of it.
The others looked at Lawrend in shock. They didn’t even sense him moving.
“I’m not a pushover. If you want to suffer, I will not back down!” Lawrend threatened.
“Gather together!” Krives shouted.
The nine Heaven Demons gathered with their backs together and formed a tight circle. They didn’t take any chances with him.
“Uggghhh…” Polka struggled and tried to escape from Lawrend’s vise-like grip.
She used her magic to try to fly away, she hit his arm, and she scratched his skin. She tried whatever she could, but Lawrend was still unfazed. Left with no choice, she forcefully controlled the mana within her.
The skies became dark like the night sky. Flashes of red lightning appeared here and there. It was a horrific scene.
Lawrend took a brief glance before ignoring it. Fighting him with lightning magic was asking for trouble. He understood that element more than the others.
“Do it,” Lawrend calmly said.
Arcs of red lightning escaped Polka’s body and crawled all over her skin. She turned bright red like a red moon.
*BOOM!*
A thick arc of blood lightning with the thickness of several meters shot down from the dark clouds. The world seemed to light up at that moment.
The blood lightning hit Lawrend’s whole body. It forced high amounts of energy into his body. But of course, it didn’t have to be said that Lawrend was the worst person to use lightning magic against.
He converted the blood lightning with his physical and soul bodies to his own. Instead of making his body explode, he was fed instead.
“Wha–!”
Krives and the others were shocked that Lawrend was unscathed. Polka, who had insta-cast the magic, was more scared than shocked. She realized that he could kill her.
As a Heaven Demon that dominated the Demon World, she felt fear again for the first time. It was the fear she thought she had forgotten.
“Do you want another example?” Lawrend asked Ella.
Ella nodded her head while thinking hard. She was analyzing what she had seen earlier when he teleported behind Polka.
Krives and the other Heaven Demons went stiff when they heard Lawrend ask Ella. They immediately prepared themselves for the worst.
“Alright.”
Lawrend opened his mouth and chanted.
“O’ Universe, the source of everything, give me strength, unveil the truth, show me the way, the cradle of life, the cradle of death, the cradle of all things, Isolation Space!”
Creating spells was nothing to Lawrend anymore. It was so easy he made one on the spot. His understanding of space magic was further expanded when the planetary system he made started harboring real life.
A faint outline of a bubble appeared from his hand that was grasping Polka’s neck. Horror filled her face. She didn’t know what kind of magic he was using.
The bubble quickly swallowed Polka whole. The world around her disappeared. She could still see Lawrend’s arm, but that was it.
She couldn’t hear anything outside. She was truly isolated into another space.
Lawrend pulled his hand out of the bubble.
“Polka!”
Krives and the others were too focused on protecting themselves it was too late. They didn’t realize Lawrend intended to cast the spell on Polka.
Polka was nowhere to be found. They could sense something spherical there, but that was all. All traces of Polka could not be sensed anymore.
“What did you do to her!?” Krives screamed in horror.
It was unthinkable that a Heaven Demon would succumb that easily.
“Don’t worry. She’s safe. It would just take her a long time to come back,” Lawrend replied with a smirk on his face.
‘She needs to get a basic understanding of space magic,’ Lawrend thought to himself.
It was the only way for Polka to come back to the Demon World. Otherwise, she would forever live in darkness and alone.
It was also a chance for her to learn space magic. She might not be able to cast it, but it was still an understanding that would make her go far in her path of magic.
“Juju, who is he!?” Krives screamed in anger.
Lawrend was starting to scare her. The magic he used was weird. They had never seen it before, nor had they heard it in any way.
“I’m Lawrend Ignis,” Lawrend replied and didn’t let Juju answer for him.
“An Ignis!”
Krives and the others widened their eyes in disbelief. It was one thing for Lawrend to make Polka disappear right before their eyes, but it was a different thing for him to be an Ignis.
He was one of their number one enemies. The Ignis clan had killed so many demons it was uncountable. The fact that he was here and with that strength alarmed them.
“Which Ancestor are you?” Krives asked.
“I’m not an ancestor,” Lawrend calmly answered and slowly approached them.
“Don’t come nearer, or we will band together to attack!” Krives shouted.
If they knew what element Lawrend was using, they might be able to think of a way to negate him. The only way now was to fight him with brute force.
“Okay, okay. I won’t go nearer.”
Lawrend smiled at them in amusement. Watching them panic compared to their pridefulness earlier was quite fun to see.
“Juju, explain yourself! Why are you siding with the enemy!” Krives demanded an answer.
“Juju, you’re a Heaven Demon! Why are you lowering your head to a man!” another one of them shouted.
