Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 476

“Follow me, Master. In this direction, we’re far enough from the city,” Aezel replied.

She led the way for about 10 minutes before they stopped in the middle of nowhere. The stars shone above their heads, and there was nothing in sight except the boundless dark ocean.

“Is this where you always practice your magic?” Lawrend asked.

“Yes. I usually watch the stars here too. In the demon world, our stars are color red. The stars here look interesting,” Aezel replied.

“I see. Do you miss your home?”

“Fufufufu. Why? Do you want to visit?” Aezel asked with a chuckle.

“I don’t know if it’s possible. I don’t want to leave them alone, and I can’t bring them with me,” Lawrend replied.

“Then, let’s go there once you become a Heaven Mage. I’m sure no one would dare to challenge your authority at that point. Even if you disappear for a hundred years, your descendants will have nothing to fear.”

“We will see. Alright. Enough about that. Show me your magic spells,” Lawrend said.

He was more curious about her magic spells. He wanted to know how much she had already improved.

“Do you want to defend against them, Master?” Aezel asked.

“Defend..? Ah, right. I don’t have any defensive spells. It might be a good idea for me to think of one after this,” Lawrend replied.

He realized that he solely focused on offensive spells. If he fought someone very strong, he would have no way to defend himself. The best he could do would be to counterattack.

“Oh! Do you want to learn the defensive spells that I learned?” Aezel offered.

She now knew more spells than Lawrend. She spent most of her free time studying them.

“Let me see your offensive spells first,” Lawrend replied.

He was about to make an offensive spell, and he was hoping to get inspiration from hers. After all, he wasn’t confident if his ideas would work.

“I have 7 Grand Mage spells. Do you want me to chant them?” Aezel asked.

As a former demon, she retained her talent of insta-casting spells. She asked because it could make it easier for him to understand the spell with the chants.

“That’s better,” Lawrend replied with a nod of his head.

Aezel flew to the sky and hovered close to the clouds.

“O’ Thunderbird, expand your wings of glory, show your might in this realm, purple lightning snakes behind your wake, descend into this world, shatter the sky, Thundering Fury!”

A great amount of lightning mana from the surroundings circled around Aezel’s body. They turned into a whirlpool, and a pillar of golden and purple lightning mana ascended from her head.

The pillar pierced the clouds and up to the heavens. Lawrend tried to see the tip of it, but it was too far.

‘Don’t tell me that pillar reached space!?’ Lawrend exclaimed inside his mind.

A bright and golden sun suddenly descended from the pillar. It fell down like a falling meteor and lit up the surrounding ocean.

*Boom* *Thud*

The crackling sound of thunder resounded above their heads.

*Fwoosh*

Before Lawrend could react, the bright golden sun hit the surface of the water. He barely saw the golden lightning bird as it passed him.

*Boom!*

The powerful heat generated by the spell instantly turned the ocean water into mist. The salt was broken down into its components, creating a toxic environment.

Lawrend’s clothes were torn apart by the shockwave. He was left floating above the ocean with nothing but his birthday suit.

A 1000 meter hole appeared at the spot, and the ocean water rushed in to fill the gap.

“I’m sorry, Master!” Aezel apologized immediately when she realized what had happened.

“*Cough* Do you know a place that sells better clothes?” Lawrend asked as he faked a cough.

He acted calm, but it was embarrassing to be naked out in the open. Although, he was sure that no one could be watching them. It was an instinctive reaction as a human being,

*Boom!*

The ocean under them exploded after it filled in the empty gap and bathed Lawrend with its cold water.

“I knew that was coming…” Lawrend muttered with a deadpan expression on his face.

“Fufufufufu… I didn’t know that you wanted to take a bath here, Master,” Aezel said as she laughed at him.

She found the whole situation funny.

“Warn me next time. That bird was too fast,” Lawrend said.

“That was because I used the golden lightning mana, and I chanted the spell. It made the thunderbird almost as fast as an Earth Mage spell,” Aezel replied.

“So your spells become more powerful if you chant them?” Lawrend asked in surprise.

“Only slightly. Chanting makes me more focused.”

“Alright. Let me wear clothes first,” Lawrend said.

He took a change of clothes from his storage ring and wore them. After that, he crossed his legs while he floated in the air.

“I will make my new spell now,” Lawrend said.

He already got inspiration from that spell. She mixed the purple lightning mana with her own pure golden lightning mana. Logically, the impure mana from the environment should have made her spell weaker.

But the effect spoke more than logic. He started simulating the spells inside his mind.

…

I could use the purple lightning mana to create a container. I would then explode the golden lightning mana inside, and it would be directed outwards.

This could work.

Next, I would need to figure out how to make a solid outer shell with the purple lightning mana from the surroundings.

…

Several hours passed. Aezel silently watched Lawrend’s training face. She would see him frown, smile, and become confused once in a while.

After another hour, Lawrend opened his eyes. He smiled at Aezel.

“Fufufufu. Was it successful?” Aezel asked.

“Let me show you,” Lawrend replied.

He did the same as her and hovered just below the clouds. He pointed his palm downwards to the ocean.

“O’ great Amber, be my electron, turn to sprite, overwhelm and kill my enemies, focus and concentrate, compress and explode, Lightning Pillar!”
