The duo Inferno and Veronica attracted the attention of everyone.


    A huge billboard with ranks was set up beside thevake. At the very top was Inferno, and just below him were Lawrend''s other children.


    "Is this for real!?" a young man eximed.


    "There were never thisrge of a group taking the top all for themselves!"


    "This is crazy!"


    Paeia smiled widely as he watched Inferno take the lead. He was slightly worried about her as her performance throughout thepetition was really good. She was perhaps the only one who could contend with Inferno.


    "Go, Veronica!" Aezel shouted and jumped.


    Lawrend''s other maids stared at the rankings with bated breaths. At this point, it wasn''t just about having the most talented offspring for their Master, it was also about their pride as mothers. As a part of a single harem, apetition was inevitable for them.


    The Third Ancestor watched thevake intently. The hot winds blew on his hair, making him look even more mysterious. Lawrend could tell that the old man could see through theva.


    A Heaven Mage like the Third Ancestor made him slightly nervous. They met when he infiltrated the core of the Rubrignis n back at the previous capital of the old Undrasil Kingdom. His form was a phoenix at that time, so seeing him in his flesh was unbelievable.


    600 meters…


    Inferno struggled to go deeper as the magma became very thick and viscous due to the insane pressure down below. His body was practically white as he erupted with fire mana. If it weren''t for the abundance of pure fire mana around him, he would''ve already turned unconscious.


    Veronica was in a simr situation. She finally used herbination magic. She erupted with fire, lightning, and darkness mana to her signature Corrupting Fire. The magma around her dissolved into pure fire mana that she was able to absorb to fuel her spell.


    The duo fought neck to neck as they tried to win against the other. But of course, Inferno was still in the lead. Not only was his bloodline very pure, but he also inherited a lot of Lawrend''s talent.


    "I won''t lose!" Veronica shouted.


    A power that was hidden within her body erupted. ck-feathered wings grew from her shoulder des and expanded outwards. Pure darkness mana rotated around her as she turned into an ominous being.


    Veronica''s eyes turned deep purple, and she grew fangs.


    "Fu, fu, fu, fu! I''m winning this one!" Veronica shouted with a cackle.


    Her ck wings dug into the magma, and she propelled herself down with a p. Her wings were so powerful they were able to move the magma as if it was air.


    Inferno was shocked at Veronica''s transformation. She was not only a phoenix, but she also looked like a fallen angel.


    "This is not good."n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Inferno wracked his mind for a solution.


    Up above, Lawrend and the others eximed at the sudden change. Veronica was now at the top, and Inferno was below her. Paiea kicked the ground in anger and stared with bated breath.


    "Huh?"


    The Third Ancestor was confused when he saw Veronica transform into a fallen angel. He squinted his eyes and focused even more.


    The Third Ancestor wasn''t the only one watching thepetition in thevake. All of the other Heaven Mages in the n were watching. Normally they wouldn''t watch the Younger Generation Competition.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    This year was an exception. They learned that a descendant with a very pure bloodline would be participating. They were curious about him as there was a great chance that he would be another Heaven Mage.


    But what surprised them right now was when they saw Veronica transform.


    "Hmph."


    Nephilim wasn''t willing to lose. She was at the third ce. A pure white halo appeared above her wings. She then used her water magic to create a cocoon of cold water that protected her from the surrounding magma.


    She shot downward at rapid speed. She was able to get tens of meters closer to Inferno.


    Inferno panicked hard when he noticed Nephilim behind him. He was used to being the greatest within them, so it made him worried about losing. He had more to lose than Nephilim, who only wanted to show off to her God.


    Inferno didn''t want to disappoint his father.


    "Ah!"


    Inferno''s flesh burnt as he overused his fire mana. His body turned ck from the inside out.


    "Oh!"


    The Third Ancestor eximed.


    By this point, each of the other Heaven Mages watching was shocked and confused. This was the first time they saw angels and fallen angelspeting for their Younger Generation Competition.


    What was more absurd was that they could still feel the bloodline of the Ignis within them. They were real descendants of the n, but they were of an exotic race that shouldn''t be here.


    "What the f*ck!"


    Many in the crowd became Inferno''s fans. They cursed in anger after seeing Veronica take over the lead. They wished that they could see what was happening down below.


    Lawrend could sense the darkness and light mana emanating from below. It was easy to guess what the two were doing down there.


    "I guess it''s time for me to join them."


    Lawrend nodded at Ember and turned into a blur.


    He dove deep into thevake and created a huge ssh.


    "Hey! Is that allowed!?" a kid that lost earlier shouted.


    He thought that Lawrend jumped in to interfere with thepetition.


    Paeia, the other previous n Heads, and the Third Ancestor squinted their eyes at theke. It was unexpected for him to jump down, and there was nothing that prevented him from entering.


    The other Heaven Mages watching from the shadows were confused about what was going on. They contacted the Third Ancestor using their powerful fire magic. This allowed them to stealthily speak with him without letting anyone else know.


    "Let him be. I want to see what he could do," the Third Ancestor replied.
