Combat Maid Harem

659 Talented Children

"Unfortunately, I can't shoot this spell here or it would hurt my children," Lawrend said.

The missile he made on the spot dissolved into their respective elements. It was as if nothing just happened.

The way that missile would work was with the reaction of water mana and fire mana. When the two crashed into each other in an enclosed space, it would create a powerful explosion that would rupture the lungs of any weak beings in the area.

Lawrend couldn't help but reminisce about the first time he saw a steam explosion. It was when Lawrend first met Aezel. It wasn't as great as his battle with the Blumin Emperor, but it was still amazing each time he remembered it.

"I couldn't understand what that was supposed to do, but it gave me insights. Thank you," Truf said and humbly bowed.

He would always forget that Lawrend was his enemy each time he used his magic. There was just something mesmerizing about the way he casts his magic.

"Go. I'm busy."

Truf nodded his head and left. He became motivated to try out more things after seeing Lawrend's example.

"Wait for me, Truf!" Humility shouted and followed after him.

It became Humility's job to keep Truf under control. She couldn't take her eyes off of him or he might be contacted by external parties. Right now, Truf wasn't a threat because his only goal was to become strong enough to kill Lawrend.

If someone offered him another way, he might become tempted and stray from the path Lawrend intended for him to take.

Lawrend closed his eyes after Truf left. His role in the future would be a big one. He didn't feel any sense of threat from Truf so he was able to teach him everything he knew.

…

Days passed again. This time, a disturbance occurred in three of Lawrend's children.

Coincidentally, it was Elena's three slime children. Their bodies became semi-transparent for a brief moment before quickly regaining their pale white skin color.

The trio opened their eyes and glanced at each other.

As soon as they realized they finished at the same time, disappointment filled their faces. As full siblings, they naturally had more sense of competition with each other. They wanted to be the best half-slime offspring Lawrend had.

"Congratulations to you three," Lawrend said and stood up.

A flash of golden lightning appeared at the entrance of the training grounds.

"They did it!" Elena shouted with a wide smile on her face.

She ran over and overtook Lawrend. She hugged each of her little children and lifted them up one by one.

"We did it, Mommy," Eina said.

"Yes!" Hanz added.

"We made Mommy proud," Law said.

"The three of you are sooo cute!" Elena responded and rubbed her cheek against theirs.

Lawrend walked up beside them and crouched. He patted each of them on their heads. They smiled happily and felt accomplished.

"The three of you did well. Your Big Sister Veronica can help the three of you to understand the next step," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Fathew!"

"Yes, Father!"

"Yes, Father!"

Elena let go of the three and they ran over to Veronica's side. Veronica furrowed her eyebrows and shook her head repeatedly at Lawrend. She didn't want to each so many of them.

"You're the only one that can read among them," Lawrend replied to her and shrugged.

"Motherrrrrr!! Help me please!" Veronica pleaded to Aezel.

"Fufufufu. You said the magic word."

Aezel walked over and decided to help out. Her little daughter looked cute when she pleaded, so she couldn't resist going to help her out.

The only ones left were Zio, Courage, and Straw. The three were Lawrend's children not from exotic races like Angels, Demons, or Slimes.

It was understandable because the other five had great advantages with their bloodline. Thinking about the difference in their talents made Lawrend slightly worried. He hoped that they would all be able to complete the goal he gave out or it would be bad.

"Master, sorry," Aleshia suddenly said in a whisper.

She glanced at Zio who hadn't finished yet and felt disappointed. Her bloodline had unique origins, but it was still not enough for her son to compete with Lawrend's other children.

"You don't have to feel sorry. The start is not the end of the race," Lawrend replied with a calm smile on his face.

He sat beside Aleshia and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. At this moment, he wasn't her Master, but her lover. He wanted to comfort her or she might become impulsive in the future.

"Master… I knew this would happen, but it still hurts," Aleshia said and bit her lips.

She looked up at the open sky. It was nighttime and the stars above twinkled silently.

"Do you love me?" Lawrend asked close to her ear.

"I do," Aleshia replied and stared back into his eyes with a misty gaze.

"I feel the same for you. If you ever feel that you don't deserve my love, think about the sacrifices you did for me, and what I did for you."

Lawrend rubbed her shoulder and pulled her in for a kiss.

Aezel saw that happening and furiously attempted to distract the five children. Lawrend soon released Aleshia from their kiss. She looked up at him and smiled.

"Master, you're so smooth that I hate it," Aleshia replied with a wry smile on her face.

"I can't lose you, after all," Lawrend replied.

"Thank you."

Lawrend sat beside Aleshia the whole day. Since they were powerful mages, their bodies didn't stink even if they wanted to. Thus, they didn't need to take a bath.

A few more days passed, and by this point, three weeks had come by. Lawrend was sitting contemplating his soul magic when another of his children started trembling.

It was Zio. Black runes appeared all over his body similar to what happened to Aleshia when she used her Darkness magic.

"I did it…"

Zio opened his eyes and smiled.
