BXBX NOVEL Chapter 514
“Stay here and take care of the others. Let Master know!” Aezel replied.
She didn’t wait for her response and flew after Ember. She almost looked like lightning as she disappeared from their view.
“Bitch, where are you going!” Aezel roared.
Ember was shocked at her speed. Her legs turned into flames and sped up. She couldn’t fully turn into flame, or Zio in her embrace would fall to death.
“You’re not going anywhere!” Aezel shouted.
She approached closer and closer. She was 10 meters away from catching up to Ember.
“Ahhh! You damned Fallen Angel!” Ember cursed.
Two large fire phoenix wings extended from Ember’s back and flapped gracefully. It rapidly propelled her forward, leaving Aezel in the dust.
“Fufufufu. You’re not the only one with wings,” Aezel laughed.
With a thought, two gray wings appeared behind her. Her wingspan was at least more than ten meters, and it overshadowed Ember’s phoenix wings. Unlike Ember, who only had the bloodline of a phoenix, she was a real Fallen Angel.
Aezel flapped her wings and easily caught up behind Ember. Ember had no choice but to fight her.
“Phoenix!”
A fiery phoenix 3 meters in height appeared and attacked Aezel. Its sharp talons slashed down at her.
“Lightning Sprite!”
Aezel pointed her finger at it. A single bolt of lightning left her finger and separated into two, then four, then eight, all the way till it was countless. Because of her close proximity to the phoenix, almost all of it hit it.
The phoenix exploded in a bright red cloud of flame. The citizens near the edge of the city were alarmed at the sudden magic explosion. They raised their heads up but only saw blurs.
Aezel exited the red flame cloud with a thunderstorm shield in front of her. It took the brunt of the flames and protected her as she passed through it.
“Got you!”
Aezel grasped onto Ember and embraced her tightly.
“Y-You can actually insta-cast so fast!”
Ember thought that Aezel would have suffered injuries due to her close proximity to the explosion. She didn’t expect her to be able to insta-cast beyond human comprehension.
Even though every mage could insta-cast their magic below their level, there was still some delay. Of course, Aezel was different. She was a demon, and she retained all of her talents even after becoming a fallen angel.
Aezel ignored Ember and placed her hand on her back solemnly.
“What are you doing!?”
Ember panicked. Her instincts were telling her that it would be good.
*Fwoosh*
Ember turned into flames and escaped Aezel’s grasp. Aezel reacted quickly and caught Zio in her arms.
With Zio in one hand and her other hand pointing at the rapidly flying flames, Aezel said a single phrase.
“Lightning Beam.”
It was silent, but a thick column of lightning appeared at her fingertip. That’s right. She learned Lawrend’s spell during the three months that he spent with them back at the Altro Continent.
It was part of her desire to bolster the number of attack spells she had.
Ember turned around to try and counter it, but it was too late. Lightning was one of the fastest elements in the world.
It covered her whole body and caused her to spasm as her skin and flesh were burnt to crisp. The Lightning Beam spell disappeared, and all that was left was a charred black rock.
Aezel swooped down and caught Ember’s body.
“Fufufufu. I hope Master won’t punish me for going too far,” Aezel muttered and returned.
Her wings disappeared from her back. She didn’t want the citizens to know that she was a Fallen Angel.
…
Ramiela burst into the throne room with visible panic on her usually cold face.
“Master!”
“What happened?”
Lawrend opened his eyes and stared at her in surprise. He felt an ominous premonition when he saw the panic in her eyes.
“Ember kidnapped Zio!” Ramiela shouted.
“What!?”
Lawrend stood up and turned into a flash of golden lightning. He quickly left the Royal Castle and saw Aezel following behind Ember. He finally calmed down when he saw her chasing after Ember.
He returned to the throne room.
“Master??”
Ramiela looked at him in confusion.
“It’s okay now. I trust in Aezel. She will be able to subdue Ember,” Lawrend replied.
“Okay.”
Ramiela regained her calm when she heard his words. He was right. Her Sister Aezel was quite strong even though she didn’t fully like her due to her being a Fallen Angel.
Lawrend and Ramiela left the throne room and headed to Elena’s room. They found the others watching outside the balcony with scared expressions on their faces.
“They should be coming back now,” Lawrend said.
He felt the movement of the lightning mana in the air and knew that Aezel had unleashed a Lightning Beam.
“Master!”
The faces of his maids lit up when they saw him. They finally felt a sense of relief now that he was here.
“What happened?” Lawrend asked Elena.
“Hehe…”
Elena avoided his gaze and acted cutesily. She was guilty, and she didn’t want to face his anger.
“I won’t be angry. Just tell me the truth,” Lawrend said in a soothing voice.
Elena couldn’t resist Lawrend’s charm and spilled it all out of her mouth. She revealed to him how she allowed Ember to carry Zio because she thought that it was simply an adoration for the cute Zio.
“I see. It’s not your fault. No one is perfect, and it’s hard to read people with ulterior motives,” Lawrend replied.
“Thank you for your understanding, Master,” Elena said and bowed to him gracefully.
She was thankful that he was understanding.
“Mm.”
Lawrend nodded his head.
Aezel arrived and threw a piece of large charcoal to the side of the balcony. If one looked at it enough, one would find that the charcoal was a woman! Small pieces broke away from it and scattered on the floor.
It was none other than Ember’s body! Aezel’s spell killed her.
