Lawrend knew the gay man was a Water Heaven Mage because it was fairly obvious from the mana within their body. It was the purest water mana he had ever seen.


    "You are Lawrend, right? I can smell the stench of demons on you and those two…"


    The Morning Dew Heaven Mage pointed at Veronica and Aezel. Lawrend was rmed. He wouldn''t be able to make a random excuse now that he knew that it was them that they were looking for.


    "And who are you?" Lawrend asked.


    He tried to buy time as he thought of a way to escape from this predicament. He was with his maids and children, while his opponent was a Heaven Mage. It would be impossible to live this through if he didn''t carefully choose his response.


    "Just call me Dew. My name is too boring. Hehehe," Dew giggled at him.


    He eyed Lawrend with slightly seductive eyes.


    Lawrend gulped in fear. He felt like his manhood would be vited if he stayed in front of this gay man for a longer time. Who knew what kind of depravity the gay man had done throughout their long life?


    Someone who was visibly gay like them obviously had a lot of sex drive. They were constantly looking for potential mates as they attracted them with their makeup. [AN: Sorry for the cranky They/Them/Their usage. It can''t be helped these days.]


    "Dew, what do I have to do for you to let all of us go?" Lawrend carefully asked.


    "Hehekeke… You know the answer." Dew licked their lips from edge to edge.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    A shiver ran down Lawrend''s spine. He was as straight as a man could be. It was against his values to even consider doing it with another man.


    "Hahahaha… My asshole is full of shit," Lawrend forced himself tough.


    "You underestimate my water spells. Do you want to know what it feels like to be ''deep'' cleaned with magic?"


    A weird look appeared on Lawrend''s face. On one hand, he was disgusted by the idea. On the other, he wanted to learn the spell so he could use it on his maids in the future.


    "Too bad I''m not into guys."


    Lawrend slowly inched away backward.


    "If you defeat me, I will pretend I never saw anything. If not, you will have to apany for the night. Kekehehe…"


    Dew''s eyes shone with greed. A faint smirk formed on his face.


    "Grrr…"


    Aezel gritted her teeth in anger. The fact that she couldn''t do anything angered her. It was supposed to be her job to protect her Master.


    "Trust Master," Humility whispered beside her.


    "Fine! I will not go back on my words."


    Lawrend had no choice but to ept this offer. He wouldn''t be able to resist if the gay man tried to attack him outright. He had more chance if they dueled.


    "I want to know how you survived a Heaven Mage spell," Dew said.


    Dew flew up, and surges of water mana escaped their body. They extended their finger and motioned for Lawrend to follow after them. Lawrend flew up while keeping the distance between them.


    At the height above the clouds, the two of them looked tiny as they hovered. Strong wind currents shook their clothing all over the ce.<novelnext>  </novelnext>


    "You''re very interesting, Lawrend– A person with the Ignis and Demon bloodline. I knew I''d find you here. The Ignis n has always been acting suspicious," Dew said.


    Their posture was rxed. They weren''t like Lawrend, who was tensed up and ready to react to any spells. He didn''t trust Dew enough to lower his guard down.


    "I''d rather not be that interesting."


    "Hehe. I will transform you tonight!"


    A staff with a crystal-smooth surface appeared in Dew''s hand. It was perfectly straight, with a small water-droplet-shaped blue crystal at the tip. They pointed it toward Lawrend''s direction.


    A front-facing whirlpool formed out of nowhere and headed at Lawrend.


    He turned into a sh of golden lightning and reappeared several hundred meters away. A sh of interest was on Dew''s face.


    "You not only have an affinity with Fire and Lightning, right?" Dew said with a teasing smile.


    Lawrend didn''t reply to not allow himself to get distracted. He was still an Earth Mage. It would be fatal to let himself lose concentration for a single moment.


    "Come!"


    Dew pulled the water from the whirlpool towards Lawrend''s direction with a swing of his staff. It then reformed into a giant water droplet.


    At the ground, steam started escaping the red-hot ground. They were all attracted to Dew''s staff as he used his control over water to pull them in.


    Lawrend dodged the giant water droplet with ease. It wasn''t that hard, as the huge mass of the water droplet caused it to slow down.


    Nevertheless, Dew still continued swinging his staff around and controlling the giant water droplet to try to hit Lawrend. The more time that passed, the bigger and bigger it got as more steam escaped the ground below.


    *Boom!*


    Arge chunk of the ground exploded with a huge plume of steam escaping it.


    "Ahhh!"


    "Run!"


    Aleshia and the others screamed and took cover with each other. The explosion caused hotva and rocks to rain down from above. It may not be obvious, butva contained some amount of water, which was the steam that escaped from the hot ground.


    Lawrend soon realized what Dew was trying to do. They… were just ying with him. Arge grin was on their face as they spun him all over the ce. It was humiliating and frustrating.


    "Hehehe…" Dew giggled.


    When Lawrend heard that, he snapped. He lost Valentina, and now a crazy gay man was toying with him. He decided to risk it all with a spell.


    "Supernova!"


    Lawrend conjured a small sun in his palm without chanting it. His use of his imagination weakened it, but he didn''t have the time to chant it out, so it was eptable.


    He started pouring half of his fire and lightning mana into it, causing it to grow in size quickly.
