Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 468 - Time Is Relative: One Moment For You Is A Year For Another

"Ella, wake up," Lawrend said.

"Mmmm..?" Ella groggily opened her eyes and stared at Lawrend.

"I'm still sleepy…"

"Ella, I need your help," Lawrend said.

"Huh?"

Ella recognized his voice and opened her eyes widely.

"Can you transfer some of your space mana to me?" Lawrend asked.

"Why?" Ella asked in confusion.

"I need it for my magic practice," Lawrend replied.

"Okay…"

Ella sat up and extended her hands. Lawrend grabbed them and lightly squeezed them before closing his eyes.

Lawrend felt a weird and unfamiliar mana flow from her hand and into his body. The moment they entered inside him, they scattered into different places without any goal.

Lawrend captured them using his soul and forced them inside. Because he stopped earlier, he had to reabsorb the mana from the other elements in the air.

He absorbed them and also forced them into his soul. Before long, Lawrend didn't notice the passage of time anymore.

Soon, his soul was filled with colorful mana from the other elements. He only needed to do one more thing to make them stay permanently.

Lawrend started with his fingers. He inverted his mana pathway. It was like he was copying them onto a mirror.

A colorful radiance filled the tip of his soul. Soon, he was able to cover his whole arm. Even though he was still not done, Lawrend could feel power brimming inside him.

It was a weird feeling. It reminded him of the Goddess for some reason.

After an unknown amount of time, Lawrend created a full mana pathway throughout his body. The elemental mana flowed around like a river, and Lawrend could feel boundless power in his body.

'What is this feeling…' Lawrend thought.

He opened his eyes. Everything around him seemed to be filled with countless particles of colorful light.

He looked at his hand and clenched his fist. He saw weird distortions of space around it.

Lawrend looked around the room and found it empty except for a small candle on the side of the door. The other bed was gone, and the bed he was sitting on was the only one left.

"What happened?" Lawrend muttered in shock.

He looked towards the window and found it blocked. He was in a very dark room.

If he couldn't see the colorful elemental mana in the air, he wouldn't have seen his surroundings because the candlelight was too weak.

He checked his clothes and found them to be sticky from his sweat.

"Ew."

Lawrend stood up and removed his clothes before changing to another one.

"Wait."

Lawrend suddenly realized something. He was already a Grand Mage.

Pure lightning and fire mana circulated inside his body. They formed various phenomena inside him that reflected what they could be. That was the sign that he was already a Grand Mage!

Lawrend removed the wood plank that covered the window and looked outside. He could smell the sea. He was still in the same place.

"Did I practice magic for a long time?" Lawrend asked himself in disbelief.

That was the only possible explanation he could think of. He suddenly remembered his babies! What happened to them!?

Lawrend rushed to the door and opened it. There was no one in the hallway.

"Did… they leave me?"

Lawrend didn't believe it. His maids were very loyal.

He grabbed the doorknob of the room in front and…

Before he could open it, the door opened by itself. A red-haired woman carrying a baby opened the door.

…

After Lawrend started practicing magic, the others soon woke up. Ella awkwardly removed her hand from Lawrend's hands and explained to them what had happened.

They immediately realized that Lawrend was practicing magic. They could also feel the elements gathering around him and entering his body.

Since he was okay, they stopped worrying about him. Soon, a week passed, and they became worried.

Valentina came out of Lawrend's storage ring and explained to them what was going on. Lawrend had an epiphany, and it was a priority not to disturb him.

Thus, they decided to rent another room and stay there. Aezel was still tasked to protect him, so she was placed in the opposite room.

Then, the time for Aezel's birth came. It was a huge celebration. Everyone had happy smiles on their faces. It hid the sadness in their eyes that Lawrend wasn't able to witness this joyous occasion.

Soon, Aleshia gave birth too. Afterward, Humility and Grape followed. And then, Elena impregnated herself using Lawrend's semen.

Because she was a slime, her baby grew big very fast. A month later, she gave birth. Two months later, Ramiela followed after her.

They all gave birth to healthy babies. The only one missing was Lawrend.

And then, a whole year passed in total. No one knew when Lawrend would wake up.

…

"Master!" Aezel exclaimed happily.

Everything that happened the past year passed through Aezel's mind. The happiness she felt at this moment was indescribable.

Lawrend opened his arms in shock. Aezel leaned towards him and embraced him.

The two of them embraced, and another silhouette came outside of the room. It was a little girl, she looked like Aleshia, but she was much younger.

"Is that you, Ella?" Lawrend asked in amazement.

Ella looked like a budding young girl at the moment. She was still young, but she had already displayed such beauty. She wasn't the naive-looking little girl from before.

"Big Sister! Master is here!" Ella shouted

She went behind Lawrend and embraced him. She missed him. Sometimes, she would visit his room, and she would become motivated to practice magic.

"Master-nyaa!"

It wasn't Aleshia that came out of the room. It was Amene.

Aezel released Lawrend and allowed the two of them to embrace. Not even a second passed before another cat exited the room.

She flitted through the crowded entrance of the room and embraced Lawrend and Amene.

She was none other than Feli.

"Nyaa… I missed your scent, Master," Amene said and sniffed him.

"Where is Master!?"

A flustered voice came from inside the room. Aleshia ran out with a baby in her arms.

"Aleshia!"
