Combat Maid Harem

"Okay. You sure that you can still fight an Arch Mage-level monster?" Lawrend asked.

"Yes. I'm sure of it. I don't feel any less powerful. Which is why I didn't realize that I already regressed to a Commoner Demon," Aezel replied.

"Let's go then," Lawrend said.

The three of them headed deeper into the forest. They continued looking for about ten minutes, but they couldn't find any other living beings in the forest.

"Are you sure this is a dangerous forest, Master? So far, the only things we encountered were tiny insects," Aleshia said.

"Hmmm… Aezel," Lawrend called her.

"Yes, Master?" She blinked her eyes at him.

"Didn't you say before that your demonic aura scares the monsters away?" Lawrend said.

"Fufufu. Yes, but I'm not a demon anymore. There shouldn't be any problem," Aezel replied.

"Aleshia, you can fly already, right?" Lawrend asked.

"Yes, Master. I have been a High Mage for a long time now," she replied.

"Let's fly 100 meters ahead of Aezel. Aezel you follow behind us. Let's test if you still have your demonic aura," Lawrend ordered.

"Master, I really mean it. I don't feel my demonic aura anymore. Usually, I would be able to feel it," Aezel replied with a frown.

"Fallen angel aura?" Lawrend asked.

"...Maybe, you're right, Master…" Aezel replied with a wry smile on her face.

"Why?"

"T-There is a divine-like aura surrounding me. I thought it wouldn't scare the monsters away since it doesn't feel intimidating like my demonic aura before," Aezel replied.

"*Sigh* It's fine. Let's do what I just said. Aleshia will fly me 100 meters ahead of you. Help us when we meet a monster," Lawrend said.

"Okay, Master." Aezel nodded her head.

And so, Aleshia carried Lawrend from behind. She wrapped her arms under his armpits and around his chest.

The two of them flew quite fast. They headed east through the Undrasil Monster Forest.

Before long, they encountered a monster. It was as big as 2 adult humans. It had a strong beak and sharp eyes. Its feathers were a beautiful brown color. Though, its tail was color black with specks of white like the starry sky. It sat atop a thick branch with its razor-sharp claws.

"Is that an eagle?" Lawrend asked in shock.

It looked like an eagle, but it's very big. Suddenly, it turned its head towards their direction before looking further back and saw Aezel. It expanded its large wings and flew away in the opposite direction.

"It's flying away!" Lawrend shouted.

Aleshia hastened her flight and flew towards the eagle.

"Stupid bird! Attack us!"

*KIIIII*

The eagle glided up into the sky outside of the forest before turning around in a curve and swooping down towards Lawrend and Aleshia.

"Oh sh*t!" Lawrend cursed. He provoked it too much.

Aezel came just in time. She arrived in front of Lawrend and raised her finger towards the eagle.

BOOM!

A thick arc of golden lightning escaped her finger and hit the beak of the eagle at pinpoint accuracy.

It fell down from the sky and hit the ground.

THUD

"What? That's it?" Lawrend asked in disappointment.

"It's not over, Master. It was just too startled with my attack," Aezel answered.

She was right. The eagle on the ground stood up and stared at Aezel with sharp eyes. Though, one could see traces of fear in it.

Lawrend observed the eagle. Its beak was in perfect condition except for the fact that it was glowing golden.

"Fufufufu. Let's see how you handle that," Aezel said with a sneer.

Boom!

The beak of the eagle suddenly exploded. It scattered bits and pieces everywhere on the ground.

The eagle was still not dead. It stood back up. Its upper beak was missing and blood dripped down onto its mouth.

*KIIIIIIIIII*

The eagle furiously screeched. It extended its wings and flew towards Lawrend's group with blood-red eyes. It was angry that its precious beak was destroyed.

"Bring Master farther," Aezel said.

Aleshia nodded her head and flew farther away.

Fwoosh

Aezel dodged the eagle. It passed by her and continued flying up into the sky and out of the forest. It continued flying away without turning back. It obviously knew that it was not a good match against Aezel.

"Coward eagle!" Aezel shouted.

She flew after it.

Aleshia brought Lawrend with her and followed Aezel. They made sure to keep a safe distance. After all, even though the eagle is hurt, it can still attack Lawrend and Aleshia who can't fight back against it that easily.

*KIIIII*

The eagle screeched. Suddenly, another eagle of the same appearance appeared out of nowhere.

The two of them flew together and swooped towards Aezel.

"Fufufufu. It's been a while since I fought," Aezel said with a smirk.

She waited for the two eagles to approach her very closely before she extended two hands and pointed them both at each of the eagles.

The eagle with the broken beak immediately turned away and avoided her. As for the clueless eagle, it continued flying towards her.

*KII*

The broken-beaked eagle warned the other eagle.

But it was too late.

BOOM!

A thick arc of golden lightning also hit its beak. It fell from the sky and hit several branches before falling to the ground. It was more unfortunate than the other eagle before.

"Lightning is too overpowered when used against flying enemies. They can't flap their wings when they are paralyzed, and they will fall to their deaths," Lawrend muttered in observation.

"They're really a bad match, Master. Why don't we find a monster that doesn't fly next?" Aleshia said.

"Yes. That would be better. That lightning is really strong," Lawrend replied as he looked at the dead eagle on the ground.

Boom!

The beak of that eagle exploded.

"Fufufufufu. What are you looking at? Come here. I'll give you chance to join him in the afterlife," Aezel said with an evil grin on her face.

*KIIII*

The eagle turned around and flew away in panic.
