Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend was really tempted to absorb the endless amount of pure fire mana he was swimming in. Unfortunately, if he did that, he would die a painful death. Lawrend could only feel it with his skin and salivate at the thought of the possibility if he ACTUALLY absorbed them.

pan-d a-n0vel.com “What a shame…” Lawrend thought to himself.

He swam around for a bit and decided to try to reach deeper.

“Hm?”

But as Lawrend tried to head farther, the fire mana turned into a solid crystal. It was impossible for him to continue on.

Lawrend knocked on the giant red crystal. It felt really solid and endless.

“Is this why the Ignis Clan is situated here?” Lawrend wondered to himself.

“Master, what is this place?” Valentina asked.

“This is under the Ignis Clan,” Lawrend replied.

“I don’t remember a place like this existing ten thousand years ago,” Valentina said, sounding very confused.

“This must be related to the history of the Ignis Clan. I will take some for my children.”

Lawrend opened his storage ring, and the liquid fire mana poured inside and quickly filled it. The powerful pressure made it easier.

Lawrend crossed his legs on top of the solid red fire mana crystal.

He incited his bloodline.

Suddenly, a powerful force appeared out of nowhere. The gravity that Lawrend was feeling doubled in an instant. It wasn’t that bad, as he was already under a lot of pressure. The problem was he couldn’t move anymore.

His butt was stuck to the crystal.

“???”

“Son, cut your heart open,” an elderly woman’s voice sounded beside Lawrend’s ear.

He looked around him, but there was no one around him.

“I’m the First Ancestor. This is your good fortune. Take it before the chance leaves you,” she continued.

Lawrend didn’t know where or how the First Ancestor could communicate with him. But he still decided to trust her.

He gritted his teeth and took a crystalline knife out of his storage ring. This was a shard of crystal he was supposed to use to create Amene’s bow.

*Crush!*

Lawrend felt his flesh cut, crushed, and broken apart by the crystal’s jagged edges. His breath was taken away from him, and he gripped his chest tightly.

A searing pain spread from his heart to his whole torso. He couldn’t speak even though he should be able to because he was a powerful Divine Earth Mage. He immediately regretted his decision and pulled out the crystalline knife.

“Master!” Valentina panicked after seeing him suddenly stab himself in the heart.

Her heart literally felt a stab as she felt pained to see him get hurt.

“Relax! I can do this!” Lawrend replied to her within his mind.

“What are you doing!?”

A huge wound was left on Lawrend’s chest. His flesh started healing as soon as it was out. But before it could continue, the blood that leaked out glowed a bright red color.

It was particularly attractive in this depth as the source of light was a few hundred meters above, which was the magma at the 3333 meters depth.

The pure liquid fire mana surged into these blood droplets and changed their appearance. From the blood-red color, they turned invisible, but they were still there.

Similar to how a glass cup would seemingly disappear under water, his blood turned into something similar to the pure liquid fire mana.

It was said that the pure Ignis bloodline resembled magma.

Lawrend’s was even better! His bloodline was the pure liquid fire mana that was compressed under a deep depth. It was an incredibly precious liquid that could never be found occurring anywhere else.

After Lawrend saw this change, he didn’t hesitate further. He let the pure liquid fire mana to pour into his wound and fill his blood.

It forced its way through the wound and immediately filled a lot of his blood vessels. They attacked his blood and replaced them with the pure liquid fire mana. Very soon, a pain that Lawrend had never thought possible seared his whole body.

He felt like his whole body was being cooked from the inside out. He gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

Valentina watched from within his mind with pain. She didn’t know what was happening, but she could tell that it was very painful.

Lawrend’s blood changed within his body. He didn’t know how long it would go on, and he quickly lost his sense of time. He closed his eyes and let the pure liquid fire mana do its thing.

“Ahhhhhhhh!!” Lawrend screamed.

As he thought that was as bad as it would get, the liquid infiltrated his bones and changed his bone marrow. It was the place where blood was made. It turned it into a much more powerful blood producer that actually created the pure liquid fire mana blood.

This meant that if Lawrend lost any blood, his body would still regenerate the pure liquid fire mana. In other words, his new bloodline would become permanent.

Valentina wanted to stop him and help, but Lawrend relegated a small part of his soul to stop her from trying to do so. She could only watch as he screamed in pain.

There was no one here to answer Lawrend’s pain, which made the whole process eerie.

“Master…”

Lawrend’s blood transformation didn’t stop.

…

Up above, Inferno and Veronica’s competition with each other reached a new high. They finally reached 1000 meters. At this depth, it was hard for them to continue on without risking their lives.

“I can’t lose this!”

Inferno was more determined than Veronica. He believed that he was Lawrend’s best child. He might not have any beef with Veronica, but that wouldn’t mean that he would let her do as she pleased.

Inferno’s whole body turned into a phoenix. He left his physical body and flew out. Or, more correctly, he swam out. The bottom of the lava lake turned into his swimming pool. He was like a shark as he sped down rapidly.

“No way!” Veronica exclaimed.
