Combat Maid Harem

The six Earth Mages wanted to run after seeing Lawrend's obvious attempt to flee his own spell, but the small sun rapidly approached them with no time to escape.

"I don't believe we can't take this on!" an Earth Mage shouted.

Each of them released their manas and empowered the crescent moon barrier around them. It turned translucent and made it hard to see them from outside.

*ZUN!*

The sun became violent and exploded. After Lawrend threw it away, it lost its stability.

The six Earth Mages took the full brunt of the explosion. The surrounding region broke apart. The earth was torn, the trees were shredded, and the air became hot.

Lawrend stood and watched the whole explosion from afar. His eyes were scanning the whole area. He rapidly made calculations with his mind as he analyzed the flow of mana.

"Still not perfect."

Lawrend looked up and saw the huge amount of fire and lightning mana in the clouds. The explosion shot upwards instead of spreading outwards like he wanted to.

As for the six Earth Mages, they floated in the center with their robes torn and tattered. The crescent barrier around them was nowhere to be seen. It was as if it disintegrated.

With the mana from six Earth Mages, it was still impossible for Lawrend to kill all of them in one blow. He wasn't even a real Earth Mage yet. The amount of mana their body contained was something he couldn't compare to.

In reality, Lawrend felt quite spent. That spell took a lot of his mana. At best, he could only cast it once more.

…

Yin was shocked after seeing the Five Combination Team and Lawrend's power. If he didn't see it in person, he wouldn't have believed such a thing was possible.

"Damn it. Imperial Father made a big mess…" Yin cursed under his breath.

He was really pitiful right now. All of this wouldn't have happened if his father had been amicable instead of forcing Lawrend to side with him. Alas, it was too late to regret now.

Yin could only hope for the best. He quickly regained his confidence after remembering the help his father managed to acquire.

At this moment, Yin suddenly noticed something odd. Thousands of spells flew up into the sky. A huge tornado appeared and sucked in all of those spells. Those spells shattered and quickly turned to their raw elemental mana.

"What is that?"

Yin was shocked. He had never heard about this army formation before. He found it to be similar to the Trunden Empire's but not at the same time. It felt even more unique and powerful.

"Attack the Imperial Crown Prince!" Lawrend ordered.

This was the time they had been buying for. He solemnly stared at Yin. After killing the Imperial Crown Prince, it would demoralize the whole alliance between the Trunden and Crescent Empire.

A huge elemental storm quickly formed above the mage army. They swung their staffs together in Yin's direction.

"Sh*t! It was real! I thought those spies were making stuff up!" Yin shouted in horror.

He had heard about the news of how the mage army killed eight Earth Mages with a storm of mana. It sounded so absurd that Yin thought the spies were compromised. He didn't think such a thing was possible.

The only possible explanation he could think of was that Lawrend sent him that news on purpose to demoralize him.

But reality was sometimes more absurd than fiction. Yin could feel the Earth Mage aura this elemental storm exuded. He raised his staff and chanted his own spell.

"O' Earth, bring me power, gather the stars, align the world, tear the earth, protect me, the wall of wealth, Diamond Shell!"

Yin was relatively quick-witted. He had already chanted his spell just as the elemental storm was about to fly to him. It gave him enough time to protect himself.

The earth below him exploded, and bright crystals flew out. They melted together and formed a crystal clear ball around his body. It was the most powerful material in the world– Diamond.

The elemental storm hit the diamond and scratched its surface. It absorbed the earth mana in it and slowly degraded it. The diamond on the surface slowly turned black.

It was returning to its primitive form: Carbon. In other words, the diamond was losing its structure.

The elemental storm unexpectedly met its match. Yin glowed brightly with a brown color. He constantly poured his mana into the diamond and slowed its degradation.

The elemental storm tried to break the diamond shell, but it was too weak to break the diamond. The elemental storm slowly lost its effectiveness as the mage army lost their mana. It became harder and harder to control it.

*Fwoosh!*

The elemental storm scattered after five minutes. It was unsuccessful in breaking through the diamond shell.

Lawrend was surprised at the result. It was true that earth magic was the best defense in the world. Diamond was formed under the earth for millions of years. The elemental storm was too weak to destroy it in such a short amount of time.

"Hahahaha!" Yin laughed inside the diamond shell.

His muffled laughter sounded irritating to the mage army. They felt humiliated because he was able to survive their army formation.

"Interesting…" Lawrend muttered.

He rubbed his chin as an idea suddenly popped up inside his mind. What if he cast an elemental storm spell? What would the result be?

Lawrend had all of the elements, even the exotic element such as space was in his hand. The only problem was his low power in those elements. He didn't have the time to improve his soul's True Mage strength.

"The six of you, fight together with me! Let's kill him!" Yin shouted solemnly.

He was wary of Lawrend's power. If he was given more time, it would really end his empire. As the future emperor, losing the empire before it became his was unacceptable.

It was like having your food taken before you could eat.
