Chapter 274 - Forcefully Draining Mana • •
"Stop, Elena. That's not what I called you here for," Lawrend said as he covered his crotch and turned away from her.
"Awww… Master is no fun. I want the good stuff."
Elena frowned after seeing his reaction. Her excitement dwindled down to nothing.
"I still have more lightning mana, why did you stop?" Lawrend asked her in confusion.
"Hehehehe. I want to suck it out through your rod, Master," Elena replied with a mischievous laugh.
"Bad slime. Do what I told you properly," Lawrend said as he slapped her ass cheeks.
"Ah! Master is a bully!" Elena shouted exaggeratedly with a playful smile on her face.
"Stop playing around and continue," Lawrend said as he extended his hand to her.
"Okay~"
Elena took his hand into her mouth once again and started sucking on it. She sucked the golden lightning mana inside his body.
Half an hour later, she stopped. Lawrend's body was very pale. He looked anemic and ill.
"Master, are you okay? Should I give you some of my mana?" Elena asked in worry.
Seeing her master so weak and ill, made her feel an ache inside her heart. She wanted to immediately nurse him to good health.
"No. I can hold on. Help me get rid of the rest," Lawrend said as he gritted his teeth in pain.
Humans have innate mana inside their bodies when they are born. Lawrend unlocked that innate mana by practicing his Shock Arc spell.
Locked innate mana would be undetectable to anyone. It would seem to the person that they don't have mana, but in truth, they do.
What Lawrend was experiencing right now was the very opposite of that. His mana was almost drained. He didn't have any innate mana inside his body to support his normal bodily functions.
"No, Master… I can't take it seeing you like this. For a living being, losing all of their mana would be tantamount to death," Elena said as tears slowly poured from her eyes.
She didn't know why she was crying. She only knew that she had to help her Master get better.
"If… you're not gonna do it, then I'll do it myself," Lawrend replied weakly.
He then pointed his finger towards the window of the room.
"+Shock Arc+!"
A bright arc of golden divine lightning escaped his extended finger. It shattered the glass window and created a deafening shock wave inside the room.
*Boom*!
The mansion shook and Aezel was alarmed.
"No! Master! You're so careless again!" Elena screamed in panic.
She grabbed his hand and hurriedly poured her mana inside his body.
…
At the moment Lawrend released every last bit of mana inside his body, he felt a sense of peace and freedom. It was as if he was freed from the bounds of the world.
That didn't last long as he quickly remembered what he was about to do. He looked inside his body and guided the small trickle of golden lightning mana that was recovered by his body at that moment.
But as Lawrend was doing that, he felt immensely weak. His soul lost its grip on his body, and he felt like he was about to have an out-of-body experience.
'This is bad!'
Lawrend felt that he was gonna die. It was similar to the feeling he felt when that gun was pointed at his head. This wasn't something he could just sleep on.
Suddenly, warm golden-purple lightning mana flowed into his hand. It was the sunshine after the rain. Lawrend knew who it was just from the aura it was exuding.
Lawrend accepted it and guided it through a spiral all over his body. The mana established their pathway according to what he designed.
After a while, purer golden lightning mana entered his other hand. He knew that it was from Aezel. She was also assisting him.
He didn't know how long had passed. When he finished, he felt a different sensation compared to before. It was as if the whole world was gravitating towards him.
The golden-purple lightning mana slowly changed color and fully turned golden after he was done. New mana was flowing inside his body from outside through his pores.
He opened his eyes and saw Elena and Aezel staring at him with worried looks on their faces.
"Master!" Elena called out to him happily.
"Master!" Aezel grabbed his face and looked at him intently.
"A-Aezel, what are you doing?" Lawrend asked her, flustered. Her grip felt painful to him.
"Master, why are you always worrying us!? Don't you know that we won't know what to do if you died!? Sister Aleshia will get angry at us if you died! Your maid harem will vanish into thin smoke," Aezel said to him fiercely as droplets of tears slowly fell from her eyes.
"I'm sorry…"
Lawrend didn't have any excuses. He was too careless this time. Even more so than last time.
He didn't assess that draining all of his mana would mean death. He got too overconfident in himself.
*Slap*!
A slap rang in the room. Elena stared at Aezel's extended hand.
Lawrend stared at her in shock.
"I can't lose you, Lawrend… I want to show our child how great of a Father you will be. I don't want to lose you… Please, take care of yourself," Aezel said in a voice filled with emotion. Tears continuously fell from her eyes.
"Aezel…"
Lawrend was taken aback by her words. It pained him deep inside. He could understand where she was coming from.
"Starting from now on, I will always stay by your side! I will stop you if you do something stupid again," Aezel declared with her chest puffed out.
Her teary face made her words believable. Lawrend realized that she would really do what she said.
"Y-You don't have to do that, Aezel. I promise I'll exercise caution from now on!" Lawrend replied to her with his hand on his chest.
"Do you think I still trust those words?" Aezel replied coldly.
