Combat Maid Harem

“Which part of the Lucida Empire are we in?” Lawrend asked.

“The northern part! We’re in the Poresi Province! Then we’re close to Lord Grevan’s City!”

The demon man didn’t dare to hide anything from them. His desire for survival was quite high.

Lawrend was satisfied with his dedication.

“Where is it?”

“You need to head there…”

The demon man started explaining the geography to them and how to avoid some harsh spots that could kill a High Mage.

“You’ve done well. Ramiela, he’s yours,” Lawrend said and walked away.

His maids and his children followed behind him. They headed towards the river the demon man spoke about.

“Eh?”

The demon man was confused and looked over at Ramiela, who was walking towards him. He stared at her and found that she looked blinding to his eyes. There was something about her that scared him and incited his anger at the same time.

“An angel!”

He suddenly remembered the legends of the angels. They were vile creatures of light that killed demons in the human world. They were worst than humans, as no demons could reproduce with them. They’re just their enemies.

“Hehehe. Master knew I love killing demons the most, especially someone like you who looked better than the ugly ones,” Ramiela muttered with a sadistic grin on her face.

“No! No! No!!!” the demon man screamed his last.

…

Lawrend’s group arrived before a clear river with calm waters. There were various fishes swimming within it. Just like the trees, their colors were unlike what Lawrend was familiar with.

“Why don’t we wash up first? This seawater on our skin is sticky. Men go north, and girls go south. Wash properly and meet up at the hut earlier,” Lawrend said.

“Yes, Father.”

“Yes, Master.”

The two groups nodded their heads and walked together. Curious looks were on their faces, and some of them chatted with each other about what they had noticed from their surroundings.

Lawrend silently walked in front and found a small pond connected to the river. He took that spot and undressed. He soaked in the cold water and relaxed.

It was stressful to escape from the human world. Even when they were taking a bath on the beach, he couldn’t help but glance towards the Ignis Clan from time to time.

Thus, this simple bath in the demon world was the only time he was able to relax.

“Father, the mana here is so interesting! It’s similar to mine, but they’re still slightly different. I think I will be able to replace all of my mana with them,” Hanz said. He was soaking directly in the river waters not far from Lawrend.

“Think harder. There’s a better way to approach that,” Lawrend replied and faintly smiled at him.

Hanz’s mind went blank, and he stared at Lawrend in confusion. He became silent and stared at the water in front of him.

“Brother Hanz, I think Father wants us to merge the two elements together,” Law said. He was close to Hanz.

The two were twins. Hanz looked over at Law and mulled over his words. He couldn’t quite understand how they would approach it.

“Mother told me that Father’s Divine Lightning is different because he absorbed lightning mana from the demon world and merged them with the human world’s lightning,” Law explained.

“Oh! I remember mother talking about that one.”

The two twins started discussing with each other. As for Courage and Zio, they spoke with each other in a low voice. The group was quite calm as there weren’t that many of them.

Inferno closed his eyes and silently practiced his magic in the corner.

After about an hour, Lawrend stepped out and walked back to the hut with his children.

“Father, how did you combine the two lightning elements? I can’t seem to do it with Fire elements in the human world and the demon world,” Inferno asked as they were walking.

“Simple, just compress them together when you have enough of them inside your body. If that still doesn’t work, try to understand the differences and similarities between the two magic elements.”

…

Lawrend explained the basics to his children, and they arrived before the dilapidated hut. Ramiela was sitting on the roof, swaying her beautiful legs back and forth.

She smiled at the sight of Lawrend.

“Welcome back, Master.”

“How was it?” Lawrend asked as he smiled at her.

“The demon has been purified.”

Lawrend looked over to the forest and saw a dead body peeking behind a trunk of a tree. It was the demon they had interrogated earlier.

They waited for a few more hours until the others returned during nighttime.

Lawrend and his male children were practicing their magic close to each other. Aezel and the others were surprised to see them practicing magic so diligently.

“Master, did you not enjoy the water?” Humility asked.

“We did, but we finished earlier,” Lawrend replied and opened his eyes.

“I see. Are we going to stay here for the night or head to whatever city that demon mentioned?”

“Let’s stay here first and relax. I want to spend more time understanding the other demonic elements.”

Lawrend was just starting to understand how they worked. These demonic elements acted oddly compared to what he was used to with the elements from the human world.

…

The group decided to practice their magics together to acclimate to the different mana in this world.

Inside of Lawrend’s mind, mana from various elements rotated around his body for a few seconds. They would crash into each other and create different transformations.

Water and Fire would bounce off each other on contact. Water and Lightning would create storm-like black clouds.

When he was done, Lawrend would switch them up with the reddish demonic elements.

Water and Fire would still bounce off each other, but they would also create some heat. Water and Lightning would then create ice that was similar to hail in real life.

It was unpredictable and confusing since Lawrend was already used to the human world’s version.
