Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 555



“What’s this energy flowing into me?”

“That is my phoenix mana. It was further refined when we did it earlier,” Lawrend said.

“Wait, so you could also do that?” Ember asked in shock.

“Yes. It was hard to understand before, but it was so easy when we were doing it,” Lawrend smiled lasciviously and winked at her.

Ember’s face turned red at his words. She didn’t expect him to be so hard working. He still practiced magic while they were doing it.

“How is my phoenix mana? Can you use it?” Lawrend asked.

“Hmmm… You’re right. I think I can use your mana,” Ember said after sensing it.

“As I thought. That Ancestor of ours wanted us to fight together,” Lawrend said.

“F-for what? To conquer the two other clans?” Ember asked.

“No. I think he knows the secret of this world,” Lawrend replied.

“Secret?”

“Shhh… I will explain to you later. For now, familiarize yourself with my mana. I think I can also use your mana now.”

“I understand.” Ember nodded her head.

Her heart shuddered at the insane thought. What was the Ancestor trying to prepare them from? She couldn’t imagine it.

Ember fanned Lawrend while circulating his phoenix mana throughout her whole body. She familiarized herself with it and cast spells from time to time.

After waiting for several hours, the mages sent to the city finally returned. A huge army blotted out the sky and landed at the encampment. The three envoys led them together.

“Your Majesty, please,” Julianne said and bowed.

“Alright. I will start my lecture for the day.”

Lawrend stood up and looked at the mage army. The others from earlier hurriedly joined the newly arrived mages and formed a big neat formation.

Today, Lawrend talked about his experience and how he knew the Blumin Empire would send an envoy here to intercept them or even plan to assassinate him.

As usual, after he finished, the three envoys took over and did a brief lecture about formations due to the lack of time. When it all ended, Lawrend and Ember returned to their inn.

Valentina stood by the entrance and bowed.

“Welcome home, Master,” Valentina said.

“Mm. Welcome back.”

Lawrend gave her a nod and entered the room.

“We leave the day after tomorrow,” Lawrend said and meditated on the bed.

He focused on channeling the phoenix mana inside his body. He tested out its new properties with his divine lightning.

He opened his hand, and a small phoenix rose up to the ceiling. It carried strands and arcs of golden lightning in its wake. It then dissipated before hitting the top.

“W-what was that, Master?” Ember asked as she widened her eyes in surprise.

“Remember my fire and lightning magic when we fought?”

“Yes…” Ember lowered her head after she remembered that fight.

She couldn’t help but scold her old self for being stupid. She didn’t have eyes to see her Master’s divine self back then.

“This is a combination of my phoenix mana and divine lightning mana,” Lawrend said.

“Woah! So your gold lightning had such an overbearing name. It certainly fits you, Master,” Ember said with her mouth opened in an ‘O’.

Lawrend then closed his eyes once again and went back to simulating his magic inside his mind. He tested every possibility and tried out countless combinations to make a fire and lightning combination spell that worked better than what he used when he fought Ember.

The night quickly passed.

Lawrend opened his eyes. The left eye glowed golden while the right side glowed red. He looked like a fire and lightning deity in that short moment.

The glow slowly disappeared, and he went back to normal as if nothing had just happened. He turned his head and found Ember meditating too.

The fire mana in the room gathered around her, making the area around her hot. She looked like a beautiful fire goddess with her eyes closed and a relaxed appearance.

Wait, she was a fire maid goddess. One might say she was a fire goddess up close, but with her current clothing on, it was more apt to call her a fire maid goddess.

“So beautiful… I have to thank that Ancestor of mine for gifting her to me,” Lawrend said and smirked.

He found it amusing that she fell on his lap so easily. He silently admired her beauty and waited for her to wake up.

A dozen minutes later, Ember’s eyelids trembled, and she opened her eyes. She found him staring into her and blinked.

“Is something on my face?”

“Your beauty,” Lawrend answered slyly.

“Hmph.”

Ember’s face turned red as she blushed from his flirtatious words.

“Let’s go. I have been waiting for you,” Lawrend said.

And so, the two of them did their usual routine. The only difference was the silence in the city. No one dared to recklessly go out, and the restaurant barely had any customers.

Many of their customers were part of the nobility destroyed by the army yesterday. The restaurant manager thought about closing, but he remembered the king ate his breakfast there, so he didn’t dare.

He even personally acted as Lawrend’s waiter and stood beside his table to wait for his orders.

When he arrived at the encampment, he told everyone of his plan to leave tomorrow. After that, he and Ember returned to the inn once again and practiced their magic.

Lawrend and Ember immediately headed to the encampment without eating breakfast the next day. If you forgot, he didn’t need to eat food. He ate simply because food was delicious.

“Is everyone ready?” Lawrend asked.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” the army shouted together.

Their response traveled far and wide and even reached the outskirts of Passage City. It caused the residents there to shudder and remember the powerful spells that rained down on the noble clans.

“Your Majesty.”

Two men stepped out from the side.

It was none other than Kenova and Von. Von was the Guild Master of the Merchant Guild, while Kenova was assigned as the City Lord under Humility’s orders.
