“I’m sorry, Master. You already know I’m not that good with magic,” Humility replied and looked away from him in shame.
She struggled at the Undrasil Mage Academy back then. She naturally couldn’t understand the profound words Lawrend was saying.
“When religious believers want to do something, they will do it no matter what. They will believe it’s the right thing to do. Maybe I’m worrying about it too much. Never mind. Just do as I said,” Lawrend replied.
He looked in the distance and sighed, “Hahh…”
Lawrend took the role of a god very seriously. And he just realized that now so he stopped speaking more.
He wasn’t even sure if he could kill the Goddess. He was confident in himself, but he didn’t know if she would preemptively attack. Right now, he was powerless against her.
“Master, you will succeed. Hehehe. I’ve never seen you this worried about something. If that’s the case, I will follow your orders to the dot,” Humility replied with a sweet smile on her face.
She realized that she was being so demanding. She decided to take a step back since he was still her Master. It was the best thing she could do since she couldn’t practice magic as easily as he does.
“Great. You don’t have to tell me when it’s done. Just distribute it to the church before I start my lesson,” Lawrend replied and stood up from the table.
He turned back and looked at her. Humility returned his gaze and stared right back at him.
“I trust you, Humility. Don’t do anything stupid.”
“Yes, Master. I won’t do it again.”
Humility felt a tremble in her chest. She was scared. She could tell that Lawrend was angry at her.
“Mm.”
After nodding his head, Lawrend turned back and left the throne room.
‘I wonder what Ella is doing.’
Lawrend went to Ella’s room and knocked on the door.
*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*
He hadn’t seen Ella ever since she confessed to him. He was worried if she was alright.
“Master?”
The door opened. Contrary to what Lawrend expected, there was no one behind the door.
Lawrend peeked inside and saw Ella poking her head out on the bed. She stared at him curiously.
“How did you know that it was me?” Lawrend asked and walked in.
The door behind him closed on its own.
“I can feel your abundant mana disturbing space. You should take control of it, Master,” Ella replied.
She was as calm as a lake without wind. It seemed that she was practicing magic before he arrived.
“I’ve never thought about doing that. Thank you.”
“Hehe. What is the reason that you visited me Master?” she asked.
“I want to see if you’re okay. You can wait, right?” Lawrend asked.
“Yes, Master. I have thought about it very clearly. I know that no one will be able to replace you in my life. It’s a shame I had to share you with Big Sister.”
Ella smiled at him faintly.
“Hoh? Daring to go against your Big Sister now?” Lawrend asked.
“Yes, Master. I want to become better than her and take care of her instead,” Ella replied confidently.
“What made you think of that?”
Lawrend was surprised at her change. It almost didn’t seem like he was talking to Ella.
“I want to compete with my Big Sister! It had always been my motivation,” Ella answered.
“Sibling rivalry, huh? Sure. I will train your Big Sister too.”
“Wha– Don’t do that, Master!” Ella exclaimed.
“You have to work hard. Since you’re busy, I’m leaving.”
“Nooo!!”
Lawrend swiftly left the room. Ella could only wail in despair as she realized that her goal of competing with her Big Sister had become harder.
‘It’s time for me to focus on the lesson I will give next week.’
Lawrend returned to his room. He locked the door and started laying down big sheets of paper. He wrote shapes and symbols on them. This was the defensive magical formation that he would setup around the church.
When he was touring the Holy Sun Church, he made sure to check every nook and cranny. Otor didn’t notice it as Lawrend used his space magic and his special eyes that could see the clouds of elements in the air.
“Interesting,” Lawrend muttered to himself.
The more he drew, the more amazed he got. He just realized that he unlocked something new. His ability to create magic formations became so much better compared to before.
It was because of his new understanding of the elements. With it, he should be able to easily create a very strong defense that could survive a full attack from a Heaven Mage.
“Hahaha!” Lawrend laughed maniacally.
He gained more confidence. He could use this to fight back against the goddess or the heaven mages from the three great clans. If he spent more time, he might be able to create one that could defend against a very powerful Heaven Mage.
Just like how the Blumin Emperor was the strongest Earth Mage, Lawrend expected there to be a Heaven Mage that was much more powerful compared to others.
And so, Lawrend finished the defensive magical formation together with a lesson plan for the crowd that would gather around the Holy Sun Church.
Lawrend’s goal was to instill faith into the faithless and strengthen the belief of the believers. He wasn’t sure but there was something about faith that made Lawrend think it was essential.
…
A big crowd gathered around the entrance of the Holy Sun Church. There were hundreds of Earth Mages, thousands of Grand Mages, and many others. It was so huge it encompassed the whole empire.
At the moment, it seemed as if time had stopped. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the man of the hour to arrive.
It was none other than Lawrend– the god of the Holy Sun Church.
The sky darkened all of a sudden. Everyone could sense the mana in the surroundings becoming restless.
*flash*
A bright flash of light appeared and Lawrend was in the center of the empty space in front of the church.
