Lawrend slept for a whole day after spending some quality with the two catgirl maids he had. As for why… well, it was easy to explain.

Amene sat against the cave walls while Lawrend’s head rested on her thighs. Her thighs were soft and warm. It was understandable why Lawrend got sleepy.

As he rested on it, the energy he lost during the creation of her bow and during their passionate time together was recovered quickly. It was like getting a refreshing drink after running a marathon.

When he woke up, Amene was sleeping.

“Good morning, Master,” Grape said.

Lawrend looked over and saw her smiling at him. She was sitting cross-legged on the floor. A ray of sunlight was shining on her face, making her look stunningly beautiful.

“Good morning.”

Lawrend sat up and looked outside. It was peaceful, unlike the tragedy hidden beneath this desert. The lost history of the past had been laid here and forgotten. Some traces were left, but they would eventually be erased by time.

One day, the leftover mana that Valentina had left would disappear. No one would be able to tell who fought here.

Maybe, it was like that for all of the cycles in the Human World. The Goddess cleansed the world each time, and a new era of prosperity would start. Sometimes, it would be lower than the last, but it would always reach a point where she would be inclined to kill everyone.

As of now, it was time for Lawrend’s group to leave and embark on a journey to meet the other Heaven Demons of the Demon World. They had nothing left to accomplish here.

Lawrend remembered everything that had happened since he arrived here. It started with him attempting to become a Heaven Mage. He didn’t go anywhere, but it felt like he traveled far away.

The world was not the same anymore. At least, that was what Lawrend felt. Spending five years watching the evolution of life on his planet was unlike what he had experienced before.

Time came so fast that his children were almost unrecognizable. If a hundred years went by, would he still recognize them?

Lawrend was stunned at this realization. Starting from now, he might spend a long time just to reach a higher level. His talent could only make him go up the levels fast to a certain extent.

“Time is relative, huh…”

For him, five years was rather short, but for his children, it was about more than half of their lives. For the desert, that time was nothing. And lastly, a thousand years or more was nothing for the world.

As a Heaven Mage, he supposedly now had a lifespan of five thousand years supposedly because his multiple elements and other factors might allow him to live for a longer period of time.

As Lawrend’s mind wandered with thoughts about his past and future, he sensed Amene awaken. Her breathing rhythm changed, her blood flow changed, and her body twitched slightly.

“Good morning, Amene.”

“Good morning, Sister Amene.”

Amene blinked her eyes at the two of them and smiled drowsily.

“Good morning.”

…

With Amene awake, Lawrend and Grape left with her. They arrived at the village shortly.

Once they arrived, the village was nowhere to be found.

“What happened?” Lawrend asked.

“I told them to erase our traces here, Master,” Ella answered.

She exuded confidence and a charming posture as she spoke. It was a huge contrast compared to when Lawrend first met her.

“Why?”

“It feels like the right thing to do, Master.”

Ella bowed her head.

“I see. Alright. We should leave now if none of you need to do anything else,” Lawrend said.

“We’re ready, Master,” Aleshia answered.

“Good. How did you girls know we would return this morning?” Lawrend asked, feeling slightly confused.

From the looks of it, they were all ready and confident that he would return at this exact moment.

“We all instinctively felt so,” they all answered together.

Realizing that they all answered the same thing, they glanced at each other before bursting into sonorous peals of laughter. The mood between them seemed to be much better than before.

Lawrend took notice of Humility, and she quickly avoided his gaze as her face turned as red as a tomato. Aezel stood near her and smirked.

Lawrend took the lead and jumped into the air. He flew at a rapid pace. This time, they flew at the speed of Earth Mages.

The majority of the group was at that level, so it was more efficient to fly at that speed. Those that couldn’t fly that fast were assisted by the others. The huge group cut through the red sky and headed to the center of this continent.

…

Half a day passed, and Lawrend’s group left the red desert. Below them were lush purple forests with colorful flowers here and there. It was an alien-like world for him.

“Where are we now?” Lawrend asked Juju.

“The Bright Color Forest, known for its scenic spots. If we continue heading southeast, we should arrive at the Central Demonic. It is where the Heaven Demons gather and is also the location capable of intercepting all of the portals to the human world.”

Juju’s expression was solemn as she explained so.

“Oh?”

Lawrend was interested in the last part. It should be known that the Human World had no idea how to control the portals to the demon world. They were even unaware of the locations of most of them.

“It’s magic left behind by the people before the history of demons. We call them the Beforefolks.”

“…”

Lawrend went silent as he couldn’t help but remember that scene where he was West and war raged on around him with Valentina floating in front. It was unfathomable how that era had the technology to control portals to another world.

“Master?” Juju looked at him in confusion.

“Ah. Nothing. I want to see it for myself when I get there.”

That place might hold knowledge of space magic.
