Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend sat cross-legged on the bed. He focused on the fire mana around him and gently guided them into his body. They entered his mouth and the pores on his skin.

Contrary to popular belief, absorbing mana through the pores wasn't as efficient as absorbing them through the lungs. He was only doing it to increase his absorption rate.

At his level, every help he needed was welcome.

As Lawrend absorbed more and more mana, the flow of them into his body accelerated as they gained momentum. Soon, winds started rotating around his body.

Ember's sensitive senses awakened her.

She blinked her eyes and sat up while covering her naked body with the blanket. Her eyes watched every change in the fire mana in the surroundings. Their flow wasn't natural, as she noticed them move with Lawrend's control.

Suddenly, a red fog appeared as the fire mana in the air was compressed to form tiny liquid mana droplets. And then a weird phenomenon happened.

It started raining liquid fire mana toward Lawrend's body from all directions. It was a weird scene, and it fascinated Ember. It was her first time seeing something like this.

Lawrend was very focused. Although he couldn't improve his physical body's magic, he could still use it to control the fire mana around him. Combined with his soul magic, his control over Lightning, Fire, and Space magic was so great he didn't have a benchmark to compare it to.

Perhaps he would only be able to truly know how great was his control over these three magics until he witnessed a Heaven Mage cast a spell.

Unlike the gaseous fire mana earlier, the liquid fire mana was easier to absorb through the skin. They basically entered his bloodstream and flowed into his soul like passing through nothing.

This allowed Lawrend to improve the quality of his fire mana by leaps and bounds. A noticeable difference was instantly made in his soul mana.

The amazing scene quickly died down. The fog faded away as they turned back to gaseous fire mana, and the air in the huge room calmed down.

"What happened?" Ember worriedly asked.

"If I continue too much, it will cause an imbalance in my soul magic," Lawrend replied.

He opened his eyes and sighed. This place was too good, but it was the bane of someone like him. All of his elemental mana needed to be increased at the same rate, or they would cause a chain reaction, and the stronger element would try to push out the weaker elements.

That would be deadly for Lawrend since he basically had all of the elements. His body would explode into a devastating elemental storm, similar to the army formation he had made in the past.

Lawrend didn't want that to happen, so he regretfully stopped.

"Wah…"

Ember was sad for him. She could tell how important it would have been for him to increase his fire magic so easily.

"This is so complicated."

Lawrend crawled down the bed and stood up.

"Master, I will take a bath," Ember said.

She couldn't help him even if she tried, so she let it go. She believed in his abilities.

"Sure."

Lawrend didn't mind. He sat on the chair beside the window and stared at the morning sky. The sun slowly cast its warmth over the lands. It was a calming scene.

"The sun gives warmth, and this energy is used by the world…" Lawrend whispered.

His mind entered into a state of focus and absolute calm.

The world was below him, and the sun was above his head. He sensed the changes brought by the warmth of the sun. The plants grew, the water cycle started, darkness moved, and the light was brought to everyone. And consequently, because of these initial starting points, other elements like lightning and wind started appearing.

It was a complex domino effect fully imagined within Lawrend's mind.

"Master?"

Lawrend shook his head and stared at the newly-showered Ember with a confused face. He slowly realized what had just happened.

​ "I need… I need to go!" Lawrend said with great emphasis on his voice.

Ember was shocked at his sudden outburst. Before she could ask him what was happening, he disappeared before her eyes.

Lawrend used his physical and soul Space magic to teleport to the Inner Circle of the Ignis Clan. He then teleported again, consuming great amounts of Space Mana, and reached the outer circle. He continued once more, and he was out of the Ignis Clan.

The mana levels of the other elements were back to normal. Lawrend sensed the myriad elements, and the scene he saw replayed within his mind.

The Planetary System left his body and hovered in front of his chest. He looked down at it and envisioned what he saw on his own planet, sun, and moon.

*Boom!*

The volcanoes turned lively, the sun released a powerful solar flare, and the moon was the same, but there was something different to it. Each of these elements signified change.

"I want to create a world where I can live with my maids forever!" Lawrend shouted.

His Will spread out to the universe. Wherever it was in the world, anyone strong enough could feel Lawrend's Will tickling their souls. It was a weird feeling that gave them the desire to have maids for a moment before it disappeared.

…

"Too fast! This kid is crazy!"

A white-bearded old man opened his eyes from his serene meditation.

…

"This Will again?"

A candlelight flicker highlighted the shadow of a man on a cave wall.

…

"What is wrong with this kid?"

The Goddess opened her eyes as she stood straight in the void. Her eyes sparkled with light, and she looked in a particular direction.

…

The clouds above Lawrend changed form. Mana from the different elements started gathering in real time to form colorful clouds.

But before Lawrend could relish this feeling, a wave of intangible energy reached him.

"I want to destroy this world where I can live with my maids forever!"
