Combat Maid Harem

"PRINCE LUTHER!" the City General shouted in panic.

"Hmph. He deserves it!" Ember snorted and crossed her arms.

"I will not let him die on my watch!"

The City General pulled out a bright red diamond from his storage ring. He took a deep breath and shattered it with his other hand.

*BOOOM!!*

A thick accumulation of pure fire mana shot out from the shattered diamond. It created a wave of mana that could be felt from Eridanus City, which was very far away.

"Immortal Egg!"

The City General used the powerful accumulation of fire mana and cast an Earth Mage spell in an instant. It was possible thanks to the huge amount of mana, but it was also wasteful, as only 20% of that mana would go into making that spell.

Surrounded by the Immortal Egg, the City General jumped in front of Luther's egg. He then controlled the city's magical formation and sucked in great amounts of pure fire mana.

*FWOOSH!*

The fire beam created by the phoenix avatar spilled everywhere as the City General interrupted the beam. The crack on Luther's Immortal Egg stopped growing. He was successful in stopping Lawrend from killing Luther.

"How dare you," Lawrend said in a deep, angry voice.

He extended his hand to Ember, and she understood the assignment. Ember extended her hand and held his.

She sent her pure phoenix mana to him. This then flowed into the phoenix avatar above his head.

*BOOM!*

The phoenix avatar exploded a bit and grew in size in an instant. It was a sudden growth that created the illusion that it exploded when in reality, it simply grew too fast.

Consequently, the fire beam created by the phoenix avatar grew thicker and turned a darker color. The heat it generated grew several times. The magical formation lines underneath the City General glowed brighter as they struggled to keep up.

"MORE!"

The City General wasn't willing to lose. With the magical formation supporting him, he was confident that he could tank Lawrend's deadly attack. The magical formation glowed even more brightly as much purer mana seeped into his body.

"I commend your will, but I have already decided that he will die today!" Lawrend shouted.

He stepped his foot, and the magical formation flickered.

This flickering was short, but it was enough to disrupt the flow of pure fire mana into the City General.

"AHHH!!!"

Panicked, the City General could only watch as his own Immortal Egg suffered cracks that quickly covered the whole shell.

*CRACK*

And just like someone stepping on an eggshell, the Immortal Egg shattered, and the fire beam engulfed the City General. The deadly fire beam didn't give Luther any time and continued ahead.

Luther's Immortal Egg was engulfed without any problem.

*SHATTER*

The sound of a glass shattering could be heard from within. Lawrend immediately sensed something unfolding inside and defending Luther.

A few seconds passed by, and Lawrend stopped his spell. He could tell that the thing defending Luther this time was beyond his ability.

The fire beam faded away, and the phoenix dove down into Lawrend's body. The people watching from the sidelines stared at Lawred with trepidation. His display of power shook all of them to the core.

The space around Luther melted into a huge crater. It looked like the indentation of a donut tray for baking.

​ A clear, glass-like orange egg surrounded Luther. It was similar to the Immortal Egg spell, but it was significantly better in all aspects.

"A Heaven Mage-level protection," Lawrend muttered with disappointment in his voice.

"How did he get one when the ancestors didn't give me one!?" Ember exclaimed indignantly.

"Ahh…"

Luther fell to his knees. The protection around him didn't disappear.

"You're lucky the clan is protecting you," Lawrend said.

He nodded to his maids and urged them to continue forward. The onlookers quickly made way for him. Many of them had their staves out in preparation to attack him.

They hurriedly hid their staves in fear of his retaliation. The way Lawrend killed the City General and defeated the Prince scared them to death. He was so leisurely as if it wasn't a problem for him at all.

In fact, it wasn't a problem for Lawrend. He still had his Earth Mage magic in his physical body. When combined with his Earth Mage magic in his soul body, his control over fire mana was astonishingly powerful.

Coupled those factors with the fact that he still had his pure phoenix mana and great understanding of fire magic. It was inevitable that he could use that much strength in this type of environment overflowing with pure fire mana.

Luther supported himself with his hand and looked up at Lawrend. Dread and shame were plastered on his face. He dreaded Lawrend's strength, and he felt shamed after losing in front of a huge crowd.

In fact, he ordered a lot of these Earth Mages to help him kill Lawrend. He truly embarrassed himself.

Lawrend didn't care about the other Earth Mages. There was no point in him stepping on the ants when he had already stepped on their queen.

"Let's find a hotel," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Master. I know a good one," Ember replied and led the way forward.

Lawrend's maids pretended as if nothing had happened. His children repeatedly looked behind them in amazement. They still couldn't get over the fact that Lawrend easily defeated that man who seemed strong.

"F-Father, was that your first time using that spell?" Zio asked in a shaky voice.

"Yes. I only have my Supernova spell, but it's not suitable for use in the city," Lawrend replied and looked back with a smile.

Zio shuddered at the thought. He already knew that his father was a monster, but it was displayed right in front of his face, making it impossible for him to forget this scene for the rest of his life.

"Fu, fu, fu. I want to be as cool as Father in the future," Veronica added.

The group finally reached the hotel, and they booked a night.
