Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 578 - The Final Battle, Lawrend's Origin

Gren was fully surrounded by his Wind Mana. A vortex of wind appeared in front of him and formed a cone shape. He tried to be as aerodynamic as possible to increase his speed.

Slowly, he was losing Julianne and the others. They still couldn’t compare to a real Wind Mage.

“Pie, chase after him!” Julianne ordered.

Pie was a beautiful woman. She had a mischievous expression on her face after hearing Julianne’s words.

“Sure, madam!” Pie responded.

Her whole skin arced with strands of purple lightning before she turned into a purple blur that chased after Gren.

As for Gren, he felt a tingle down his spine when he felt the outburst of lightning mana behind him. Despair covered his face. There was a 50/50 chance of him not getting picked by them.

He took a deep breath and swung his staff behind him.

A thick wind blade appeared from his staff and headed towards Pie. As a lightning mage, Pie also had inhumane reaction speeds. Otherwise, how could she control her extreme speed?

Pie took a sharp turn to the left and narrowly avoided the wind blade.

“AHHH!”

The sudden acceleration and change of direction caused Pie’s internal organs to suffer some damage. She couldn’t help but stop flying that fast.

Gren took this chance and continued fleeing.

Julianne and the others stopped to tend toward Pie.

“How bad is it?” Julianne asked.

“Some tiny ruptures on my liver, spleen, and lungs,” Pie answered.

She gritted her teeth and winced from the pain while holding onto her stomach.

Julianne’s hands glowed with white light, and she placed her hands over Pie’s stomach. Her light mana flowed into Pie’s stomach and healed her wounds.

“Much better,” Pie said as relief washed over her face.

Julianne’s healing spell wasn’t as potent as a real Healer Light Mage, but it was enough to accelerate Pie’s healing capability.

“Let’s stop chasing after him. We should help His Imperial Majesty instead,” Julianne said.

Their current goal wasn’t to kill the Earth Mages. Their goal was to win this battle. It was enough for them to scare two Earth Mages away from the battlefield. At least, that would make the battle much easier.

“Hupo, Gregory, and Otor, the three of you help our side from those 14 Earth Mages,” Julianne ordered.

The trio nodded their heads together and flew to the battlefield. Julianne swung her head to stare at Pie.

“It’s not your fault,” Julianne said after seeing the guilt on her face.

“Yes, madam.” Pie nodded her head.

“Rest for now. I will go help His Imperial Majesty,” Julianne said.

“I’ve been wondering, but who is this ‘Imperial Majesty’?” Pie asked as she blinked her eyes curiously.

She was wounded, but her inner gossip was tingling.

“Lawrend will be the emperor of the newest empire on the continent,” Julianne replied.

She then left from Pie’s side and flew towards Lawrend. Pie was left floating there and pondering what she meant.

…

Just as Lawrend was feeling worried, he heard a voice behind him.

“Your Imperial Majesty, let me help you,” Julianne said as she approached him.

Lawrend regained his confidence after seeing her.

“Tidal Wave!”

The six Earth Mages wouldn’t allow Lawrend to get any rest. They swung their staffs together once more. The moon behind them glowed with a blue color.

The water vapor from the surroundings gathered to form tiny droplets. Fresh underground water seeped out of the ground as the moon glowed with a tiny brown color from the Earth Mana.

The water vapor and underground water combined together and formed a big tidal wave. The tidal wave left the ground and turned into a floating wall of water.

The process may seem slow, but it all happened in three seconds. The power of six Earth Mages was something you couldn’t underestimate.

Lawrend grabbed Julianne’s hand and pulled her as he turned into a flash of golden lightning. He tried his best to escape from the path of the tidal wave.

But he still underestimated the tidal wave. It grew bigger and bigger as bits and droplets of water from the surrounding area were attracted to it like the tidal gravity of the moon.

It was a unique spell resulting from the Crescent Empire’s constant research regarding the moon.

“No choice!”

A large fiery phoenix wing flapped from behind Lawrend. It extended outwards and covered a ten-meter wingspan.

Lawrend hugged Julianne tightly and flapped his giant phoenix wings.

*FWOOSH!!*

The sound of the air rolling and turning thundered. Lawrend and Julianne disappeared from the tidal wave’s path.

“I’m Ember Ignis, the Princess of the Ignis Clan and also Lawrend Ignis’ maid!” Ember shouted.

Lawrend heard her words and couldn’t help but turn his head towards her. Even Julianne was shocked to hear Ember admit it herself.

A small smile slowly formed on Lawrend’s face. As for the six Earth Mages, they were shocked at his phoenix wings. When they heard Ember’s words, it suddenly made things click together.

“H-he’s an Ignis…” an Earth Mage from the group muttered fearfully.

It was ingrained into the minds and bodies of every high-level mage on the continent that the three great clans shouldn’t be messed with. Going against them meant certain death. There was no in-between.

“The Imperial Crown Prince also died!” another Earth Mage cried out.

Lawrend’s group of five thoroughly messed up the whole plan. They were shaken through their core. It was all supposed to be smooth sailing and a certain win for them. Right now, even their backing doesn’t seem enough.

“Master!”

Ember flapped her beautiful phoenix wings and appeared right beside Lawrend. A wide smile was on her face. She proudly scanned his wings and felt satisfied with them.

“As expected, you really are a member of the Ignis Clan with the purest bloodline,” Ember praised.

She could feel her own phoenix bloodline resonate with his. It was telling her to mate with him and improve her own. That thought made her blush, causing her to appear cute right in front of Lawrend.

“You’re a good maid,” Lawrend said and patted her on the head.
