Combat Maid Harem

"Master, it\'s not that I don\'t trust you. I just don\'t trust that kind of words coming from your mouth," Aezel added.

"Okay. I understand." Lawrend nodded his head at her.

"Master, how are you feeling?" Elena asked.

"I feel… great?" Lawrend replied with a confused tilt of his head.

He was still not sure if it would really work. He wasn\'t even sure if the mana pathway he decided on were the most efficient one.

Basically, he just made his mana run on a spiral around the surface of his arm. Then after reaching his fingers, it would branch out before entering his bones and going back deep inside his body.

It was simple, but Lawrend thought that it was more efficient than what pathway his mana originally took.

"What were you even doing, Master? Why did you want to drain your mana?" Elena asked.

Lawrend didn\'t tell her why earlier before they did it.

"I was trying to change my mana pathways, but I couldn\'t do it with mana still inside my body. Therefore, I had to drain my mana so I could change it," Lawrend replied.

"Huh? What\'s the benefit, Master? Wouldn\'t they be the most efficient pathway already since they\'re what your mana took inside your body?" Elena asked him in confusion.

"I\'ll show you. The two of you follow me," Lawrend said as he stood up from the bed.

Aezel grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

Lawrend turned his head to her and smiled before saying, "Take good care of me, Aezel."

"Fufufufu. You do understand what place you\'re in right now," Aezel replied with a chuckle.

"Oh, it\'s already almost sunset. Let\'s do it in the garden then," Lawrend said as he looked at the sky.

He wanted to test his new magic capabilities in the Undrasil Monster Forest to stay away from prying eyes, but since he can\'t, he could just do it here.

Once they were at the garden, Lawrend sat on the ground cross-legged.

Aezel and Elena looked at each other in confusion. They were both thinking inside their heads why he was sitting on the ground cross-legged when he was supposed to demonstrate something to them.

Suddenly, a gust of wind appeared around them. The lightning mana in the surroundings was sucked inside his body through his pores. It generated a small vortex around him.

"So many lightning mana!"

Both Aezel and Elena exclaimed in amazement. Since both of them were lightning mages, they could both sense the abnormal amount of lightning mana that was being absorbed into his body.

Inside Lawrend\'s body, it was a huge party. He had already absorbed twice the amount of mana he could store before.

It was still not enough to fill his body up. The new mana pathway was still eager to absorb more mana from the surroundings.

The lightning mana in the surroundings was the purple kind. Due to some bizarre phenomenon, they were all transformed into golden lightning mana. It was as if the Divine Lightning was a sickness that quickly spread and converted the purple lightning mana.

A few minutes later, Lawrend stopped. His mana capacity was already way over what he could even imagine.

It was 10 times more than before! That would mean that he was got more endurance compared to the average mage. He could now throw lightning spells wastefully and overwhelm his opponents.

"Amazing!" Lawrend said as he opened his eyes.

He looked at his hands and down at his body. It was a transformation so great that it felt like a dream to him.

"Did you become an Arch Mage directly, Master!?" Elena exclaimed in disbelief.

"No… It doesn\'t seem like it. My mana isn\'t pure enough, but I think I\'m back to High Mage," Lawrend replied.

"Master, you\'re a genius!" Aezel exclaimed happily.

She was really right all along. The man she chose was talented and a genius at magic. She doesn\'t have to worry about how their child will turn out.

"I can\'t believe it myself. I thought it would simply make casting spells easier. I didn\'t expect it to boost my mana capacity and strength," Lawrend replied.

He clenched his fist and felt the power that was coursing through his body. It was otherwordly and incomparable to what he had before.

"Master, that goes against all logic! Technically, you should only have a higher mana capacity if your mana is purer than before, but it\'s not," Elena said in incredulity.

"I think it\'s because I created more space for my mana to travel to inside my body. In all essence, I increased the surface area where my mana could latch onto. Thus, I can store more mana," Lawrend explained.

"What about me, Master? Can I also do it??" Elena asked him excitedly.

She could partially understand what he was saying. Since she\'s a lightning slime, she believed that she could also do the same.

"I don\'t think it would work on you, Elena. You don\'t have mana pathways, right? Besides, it would be unfair if you could even get stronger," Lawrend replied with a wry smile on his face.

He could imagine how OP she would become if she was able to do what he did. She would be unstoppable. Nature wouldn\'t allow such a thing to exist.

"Fufufufu. That only leaves me, right, Master? I have mana pathways!" Aezel said smugly.

Elena gritted her teeth in annoyance, seeing Aezel\'s provocation.

"No, Aezel. It\'s too dangerous. You\'re pregnant too. I won\'t permit it," Lawrend replied solemnly.

"Ah…"

Aezel was disappointed. But of course, Elena giggled seeing her misfortune. This way, the two of them were equal.

"Since I know its dangers firsthand, I won\'t allow anyone to try it."

"Okay~"

"I understand, Master."

Elena and Aezel replied.

"I can finally fly now. I didn\'t get the chance to try it before," Lawrend said with excitement.

He stood up and closed his eyes.
