Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 521

Lawrend opened his eyes and stepped down from the throne and followed Verkoli.

Lawrend entered the guest room calmly. Two middle-aged men and an aged woman stared at him. They tried to see through him with their eyes.

“Good day. Have you agreed with my conditions?” Lawrend asked and sat down on his seat.

The three didn’t respond and glared at him.

“You are as young and talented as the rumors,” one of the men said.

“You are..?”

“Ehem. Apologies. I’m Otor Forest. This guy beside me is Gregory Beer. And this lady is Miss Julianne Desert,” Otor replied.

“An Earth-Earth Mage, a Light Mage, and a Wind Mage. That’s okay, I guess,” Lawrend muttered.

“Your Highness, what do you mean by okay?” Julianne asked with a frown.

She looked like a woman in her late 40s. Her face was proof of her beauty when she was young. Alas, it was covered in wrinkles and age.

“Your three elements aren’t good for working with each other,” Lawrend answered candidly.

The three of them glanced at each other. It was hurtful, but they understood where he was coming from.

“Your Highness doesn’t disappoint us with your keen insight. It’s true that our elements aren’t good at supporting each other, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t fight against the Blumin Empire,” Julianne replied solemnly.

“Really? Care to elaborate?” Lawrend asked.

“We have heard of your great fame, but please don’t belittle us. We could still flatten this kingdom with the three of us!” Julianne threatened.

“Miss, calm down. The alliance is very important for us,” Otor chimed in.

“So you aren’t convinced of my strength?” Lawrend asked.

The two of them ignored Otor, who became helpless.

“Yes! We could guess that you are an Earth Mage now, but there are three of us! Even if your other Earth Mage comes out, your kingdom is still not a match for us. You just have to trust us and lead the offensive against the rear of the Blumin Empire,” Julianne replied confidently.

They didn’t know if Lawrend was an Earth Mage or not. They only heard that he managed to defeat a Grand Mage before. Since he’s back, they assumed that he was an Earth Mage already.

“Why don’t we have a battle then. One against three,” Lawrend said with a grin.

The three of them were taken aback by his blatant confidence. They narrowed their eyes and tried to see through him. But they couldn’t tell if he was bluffing or not.

“Sure. The Trunden Empire doesn’t fear anyone,” Julianne said.

Otor and Gregory glanced at each other. They wanted to stop her, but it was too late to do so now. Their statuses were much lower than hers.

“Let’s go fight north of the city,” Lawrend said.

He left the guest room first and calmly walked to the exit of the royal castle. As the king, he ought to act like a king in front of others, especially when they are envoys from an empire.

He couldn’t fly through the window like before.

…

The three of them stared at Lawrend a hundred meters away from them. He was very calm and collected.

“Your Highness, it’s not too late to admit defeat. We are here to help you defeat the Blumin Empire,” Otor said.

He was trying to be nice and give Lawrend a way out of his boasting. It might not look like it, but they were very capable and experienced Earth Mages. In his opinion, it was impossible for him to fight against three of them.

“I’m confident in myself,” Lawrend replied.

His calmness and serenity made the three of them take him more seriously.

“Hmph. You are still young, but your arrogance will be the end of you,” Julianne said.

There were two possible reasons for his confidence. One was he could back his words up. The other was he was trying to impress them. She was leaning towards the latter.

The faster someone becomes an Earth Mage, the weaker they would be. Only with more time and experience could they become stronger. That was the case for the Blumin Emperor.

He didn’t just become a powerful Earth Mage out of nowhere. He explored the continent and challenged various Earth Mages before finally becoming unstoppable.

“The three of you can attack first,” Lawrend said.

“Arrogant.”

Julianne stood to the front and pointed her staff at him.

“First Formation!”

Two rings of light surrounded Lawrend. One below his feet and one above his head.

“Vacuum Tornado!” Gregory shouted.

“Piercing Spear!” Otor shouted.

Lawrend was locked by the ring of lights. The vacuum tornado sucked him in and prevented him from flying away.

Suddenly, a huge pillar of earth shot up at an unbelievable speed. Lawrend wouldn’t be able to survive it if he didn’t dodge.

Lawrend faintly smiled. He realized that they were still able to work with each other even though their elements weren’t complimentary.

He turned into lightning. The rings of light glowed brightly, and a white barrier stopped him from leaving.

“Fire Disintegration!”

Lawrend touched the wall, and it burned to ashes, to the shock of the three Earth Mages. He escaped the attack like a bolt of lightning.

“Dual elements! The reports were true!” Otor exclaimed in shock.

“Second Formation!”

A black eye appeared above Julianne’s head. It exuded a cold and sinister gaze.

“Sky Slashing Wind!”

“Crystal Punishment!”

Lawrend’s head turned without his control. His eyes unconsciously stared at the black eye as if it was the most beautiful woman in the world.

Gregory slashed his staff, and a giant wind blade appeared. Otor lifted his staff in an exaggerated manner.

Lawrend closed his eyes and freed himself from the influence of the black eye. His staff disappeared from his hand, and he pointed a finger forward.

“Plasma Explosion!”

His lightning mana and fire mana mixed with each other and created a golden sun that shot towards the giant wind blade. It exploded, and he used the force of the explosion to propel himself away.

*Whoosh*

A giant shard of crystal whooshed in front of him from the ground.
