Combat Maid Harem

"Farewell. May we meet again in the future as equals," she said and waved at them.

Lawrend's group continued onward. Chills ran down Lawrend's back as her words echoed within his mind. It was one thing to meet another Heaven Mage out in the open, but it was another to hear the contents of her words.

Lawrend didn't know if he could trust her.

"Do you think that we can trust her?" Lawrend asked his maids.

"We shouldn't trust them yet, Master," Ramiela replied.

"Why?"

"They might be using this chance to take over the Primitus Continent. They must have been eye-ing the continent for a long time now. It was only because the Three Great Clans had 21 Heaven Mages that they didn't dare to carelessly invade," Ramiela explained.

Lawrend nodded his head in agreement at her words. It made sense. They needed to exercise caution.

It was not a problem to continue going to the Demon World. It had been their plan since the start, anyway.

"Master, why don't we take a different entrance to the Demon World than the one I entered here with?" Aezel asked.

"What will that do?"

"We will end up in an unfamiliar place. I might not know where we are when we get there, but it's safer than heading on that route. There might be traps there."

The cautious thoughts Lawrend's maids employed caused him to faintly smile.

"Alright. Let's do that."

The group continued for half a day, and the sun started setting.

"We should take a rest. We had been flying for so long now."

"As per your orders, Master," Aleshia and the others chanted.

They flew down to a city. It was located within an obscure kingdom. It wasn't anything special in the eyes of the group, who had been to the Ignis Clan.

"Eeek… Should we really stay here, Master?" Humility asked.

Disgust was all over her face. After being used to the Ignis Clan and the Imperial Capital, her standards had risen above the level of this city. It was like she was visiting the slums.

"There's no problem, right? Or would you rather sleep on top of large leaves and the hard soil?" Lawrend asked her and landed on the ground.

"No…" Humility responded with her head down.

She was ashamed and didn't dare to speak further.

Lawrend ignored her, and they walked to the gates. The city guard looked over at them and at the lines on the octagon on Lawrend's mage badge.

"I-Is that real?"

The octagon had six hard lines out of eight, which meant that Lawrend was an Earth Mage. He shook as fear overtook his ability to think and made him stunned.

​ "What do you think?" Lawrend asked, and wisps of fire, lightning, and water rotated a few centimeters above his upright index finger.

"Y-Yes! I will let you, sirs and ma'ams, in!!" the city guard responded with a loud shout.

He attracted the attention of the others, and they came over.

"What's going on here, Leoton?" a leader-like figure among the city guards approached with several city guards behind him.

"C-Captain, H-He is an Earth Mage…" Leoton pointed at Lawrend with a shaky finger.

"Huh?"

The Captain stared at Lawrend's mage badge for a bit.

*Smack*

"What the hell are you doing? There's obviously no Earth Mages that will visit our city!"

The Captain shouted as he had just hit the back of Leoton's head. Leoton almost fell over, and he looked back at the Captain with an angry expression on his face.

"I don't dare risk it!" Leoton responded and firmly stood in place.

*Crash*

Leoton fell over a wooden crate and broke it to pieces. The Captain pulled his raised foot back and lowered his head to glare at Leoton.

"Go back and re-enter the trainin–"

"Aleshia," Lawrend called out.

"You got it, Master."

Aleshia took a step forward and touched the Captain's shoulder. He froze and cranked his head towards his shoulder. There were countless black tendrils growing out of it to the rest of his body.

Without being able to release any noise, the Captain's flesh melted into a black goop on the ground. It then quickly disappeared, and a small white mushroom replaced him.

"..."

Leoton and the bunch of city guards stared at the scene in silence.

"Sorry!"

"Forgive us!"

They immediately started running, including Leoton. He was the most scared of them as he had also seen Lawrend use a bit of his magic. He didn't want Lawrend to think of killing him with those. The wrath of an Earth Mage was like incurring the wrath of the Goddess for him.

The onlookers slowly inched away from Lawrend's group. Once they got far enough, they started running away.

"I told you, Master," Humility muttered.

Lawrend looked back at her with a fierce glare and said, "I will punish you tonight."

Humility froze in place. Lawrend's appearance and his glare were like being stared at by a primordial beast that wouldn't hesitate to make her suffer the worst of tortures.

Lawrend wasn't normally this angry. He was just annoyed since Humility was acting like a pompous b*tch. Her royal bloodline had ingrained this sense of superiority within her.

Ember was much better since she acted tame before him. Thus, Lawrend concluded that it was because he hadn't punished Humility enough. Tonight would be the day she would learn new ways to moan.

"You're lucky…" Aezel whispered in Humility's ear.

Aezel stared at her with eyes full of envy. The thought of her Master punishing Humility was enough to arouse her, and of course, she wanted those terrible things to happen to her.

"Mother…"

Courage gripped his fist tightly after seeing the downcast expression on his mother's face after Lawrend scolded her. His determination to earn Lawrend's recognition grew even more. He imagined that Lawrend's recognition would make him treat his mother better.

Naturally, that was not it. Courage was simply unaware of his mother's debauchery in bed.
