Combat Maid Harem

Ember's heart beat rapidly. She didn't know if he had survived his own spell. She felt the raging fire and lightning mana in the air. She couldn't sense him because of the chaos inside.

"What do I do…"

The space inside was still unstable because the hot plasma was still rising up the atmosphere. She might die because of their absurd power if she recklessly flew in.

"Screw it!" Ember shouted.

She decided to risk it all. All for her Master. She realized now that she really cared for him. Her desire to see him alive overpowered everything sense of reason she had in her.

Ember forcefully turned into a phoenix and flew inside. She flapped her wings and soon was on the spot where Lawrend was.

"Master!"

She endured the blazing heat around her. She might be a phoenix, but the fire Lawrend used was different compared to phoenix fire. In terms of ranking, the fire of the sun was more powerful than it.

"What are you worried for? Why would I die so easily?" Lawrend asked, a calm smile on his face.

He appeared in front of her with no clothes. He was bare naked, but he still managed to smile. His confidence was different from a year ago because of his experience bedding his maids.

"Master!"

Ember returned to her human form and smacked Lawrend's chest with her body. She tightened her arms around him and smelled him as much as she could.

"You're real!" Ember exclaimed.

She was happy to confirm it. After all, she could be dreaming right now. It was really hard to imagine how someone could survive being close to that.

"*Cough*"

Ember turned her head aggressively to the source of the cough. The plasma and dust covering that place quickly dispersed. It revealed Alexis. He was still alive.

Similar to Lawrend, he was also buck naked.

"Ahhh!"

Ember quickly turned her head away after seeing the dong hanging from his waist.

Lawrend's eyebrows twitched after seeing Ember's reaction. He frowned and stared at Alexis.

"Water magic? So it's the Spring Clan," Lawrend muttered as he stared at him solemnly.

"*Cough* What would you do to them? You might be a Heaven Mage, but you aren't capable of trampling them," Alexis said as a small smile formed on his face.

His only reconciliation in his defeat was the fact that Lawrend could never defeat the Spring Clan. They were a part of the three great clans. Lawrend would either need to get the help of two of the great clans, or he would need to overpower them in order to win.

None of those options sounded possible for Alexis. The three great clans had always kept each other in check. If one of them falls, it would be hard to keep a balance with just two clans.

"As I said, I'm not a Heaven Mage," Lawrend said.

He felt irritated by this guy. He still dared to be smug even at this point.

"Kill me! Shameless Heaven Mage. At least, I will die with glory under your hands," Alexis said.

He totally accepted his fate. He had given up on life. There was no point trying to struggle in front of a powerful Heaven Mage like Lawrend.

"Ahh…"

Lawrend felt a sharp pain spread through his whole body. There were countless invisible needles poking him from each point of his body.

"Master!"

Ember hugged him tighter. She sensed his body and felt the critically low amount of mana inside him.

"You overdrew your mana! Master, you're just a new Earth Mage. How could you risk yourself like this!?" Ember asked in disbelief.

This was the first time she saw someone with this low amount of mana.

"What can I say? I love taking risks," Lawrend said with a forced smile on his face.

"Stupid. I'm not gonna laugh at that," Ember replied seriously.

She wasn't in the mood to laugh at his jokes. His life was more important.

Alexis was listening in front of them. He slowly widened his eyes as he looked at Lawrend. He repeatedly shook his head in disbelief.

"No way… No way… No way…"

Alexis prided himself in his strength. He was infinitely close to becoming a Heaven Mage. There shouldn't be anyone capable of defeating him if they weren't already a Heaven Mage.

"This is not the first time this has happened," Lawrend said to Ember, still trying to smile.

"Huh? What do you mean?!" Ember asked and shook his body violently.

She was curious, shocked, amazed, and terrified by what he said. It was a chaotic mixture of feelings inside her. She didn't know what to say after that.

"Watch. Defend me from him. I will attempt it once again. Haha… I thought I couldn't do this again," Lawrend muttered as he chuckled.

It was hard for him to hide the excitement in his voice. He couldn't do this before because of the high risk of death. Now was the only chance he had ever again, and he was determined to take it no matter what.

Ember was confused by his words.

"But you don't have mana!" Ember exclaimed.

"Trust me. Ember, do you really trust me? After all of the deplorable things I've done to you?" Lawrend solemnly asked.

He was honestly not sure if she truly trusted him. It was hard for him to imagine how someone could trust him after what he did to her.

"I…"

Ember was shocked at the question.

She thought about it, and she doubted why she even decided to trust him. He might be handsome, talented, and her fiance, but she now had the chance to free herself from the suffering and humiliation he gave her.

"Master, you already know the answer to that," Ember said with a wry smile on her face.

Lawrend formed a smile after hearing her answer. It was the best answer she could possibly give.

Lawrend closed his eyes, and she let go of him. Lawrend floated in the sky, and he crossed his legs together.

"Space…"
