Combat Maid Harem

"Give us a good place to stay," Lawrend said with no emotion on his face.

"Who are you!? Why are you invading my city!?" Grevan asked in anger.

She gritted her teeth and raised her hand again. Powerful fire mana gathered within them.

"Hmph!"

Aezel raised her foot and stomped on it.

"AHHH!"

Grevan shrieked in pain as Aezel's stomp wasn't soft. It felt like her hand was clamped between a vice.

"Respect Master or I will kill you myself," Aezel threatened, and her eyes glowed with golden color.

"..."

Grevan gritted her teeth in pain while glaring at Aezel. She turned her head to look at Lawrend.

"If you wanted one, why are you so rude!?" Grevan shouted with injustice in her voice.

"You attacked me first," Aezel interrupted.

"You banged on my door!"

"Stop! Don't argue before me. Are you going to give us a place to stay or not?" Lawrend asked and furrowed his eyes at her.

Aezel turned her head away.

"Hmph. You're just a man. How lucky to have a subservient woman serving y–"

Before she could finish her words, Aezel kicked the back of her head. She fell over, unconscious.

"Hey!"

"Master, she's being too noisy. Let's just go inside her home," Aezel replied.

"..."

Lawrend sighed and walked inside the house. Aezel lifted up the unconscious Grevan into a princess carry.

The insides of the house were better than Lawrend expected. There were leather couches, a dining room, a second floor, a bathroom, etc. He wouldn't expect these things when he saw the place from the outside.

"We will stay here for as long as we need to. I need to practice my magic," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Master." Aezel nodded her head.

The group took their own rooms and populated the whole house. There were some male demon servants inside, but they were easily taken care of by Ramiela. She had a face full of disgust as she looked around the whole place.

Thinking about living in a place where demons had lived was like living in a place that was previously infested by cockroaches for her. She had been killing demons all her life, so they were disgusting from her perspective.

Lawrend didn't care about all of that, and he let them do as they pleased. He took Grevan's room and had her tied up on a post in the room. She was still unconscious, so Lawrend ignored her for now.

Lawrend closed his eyes and started breathing in the mana from his surroundings. He started with the fire element and the space mana. He found that the space mana in the demon world was exactly the same as the space mana he got from the human world.

That was interesting.

For now, he wanted to try changing his fire mana in his physical body first. Afterward, he would continue on to his soul body. This should help familiarize him with the concept first.

It had been so long since he last did something like this. First, he needed to force the demonic fire mana into his body. He took deep breaths and filled his lungs before sending them through his mana pathways.

He didn't do this earlier because he was simply trying it out. He wasn't in a rush since he had a lot of time in this world.

As the demonic fire mana filled his body, Lawrend felt a powerful repulsion as the two similar elements showed their differences from each other. They didn't like being in the same body as each other.

Once Lawrend increased their concentration, he would potentially explode if he wasn't careful. But, of course, Lawrend loved to take calculated risks. He went with it and endured the pain.

The flow of his phoenix mana was like a thick trunk, while the flow of the demonic fire mana was like a tiny thread trying to intermingle with it. Slowly but surely, Lawrend could feel them slowly overcoming the repulsion and gradually starting to integrate with each other.

A wide smile was on his Lawrend's face. This process felt rewarding as the results were shown before his eyes. It wasn't like his magic simulations that took a long time to show success.

…

Time passed, and it reached nighttime.

Grevan woke up and looked up at Lawrend on her bed. She regained her memories of what happened, and anger filled her face.

"You! What are you doing on my bed!?"

Grevan was still angry. She shook her hand and realized that she was tied to the post. She pulled harder, and the violet wooden post shattered.

Lawrend opened his eyes and stopped his magic practice. He was annoyed at Grevan for disturbing his peaceful magic practice.

"I'm using it to practice magic. Are you blind?" Lawrend retorted.

"Heh! I'm a woman! Don't you know what that means?!" Grevan shouted in a raised voice.

"No..?"

Lawrend stared at her in confusion. He wasn't from the demon world, so he had no clue what she was trying to say.

"I will teach you submission! You wouldn't be that handsome if it weren't for us women!"

Grevan walked towards Lawrend, and her hand burned a dark red.

"Submission, huh?"

Lawrend smirked. Grevan suddenly staggered in her steps and stopped moving. His smile felt ominous to her for some reason. She shook the pessimistic thought out of her head and continued forward.

"I will torture your soul for claiming that you're responsible for my current appearance!" Lawrend roared.

He lifted his hand and grasped at her neck from a distance. Grevan's eyes widened, and she clawed at her neck. Something was strangling her out of her control.

Blood was prevented from flowing into her brain, and fear enveloped her whole body. She tried to attack Lawrend with an instant spell.

Unfortunately, Lawrend moved his other hand, and the spell was shot out of the window.

"AH!!" Lawrend released a shout that rumbled the whole city.

He pulled out Grevan's soul directly from her body with a pull of his hand. She shuddered, and pain engulfed her whole being.
