Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend appeared back inside the Imperial Castle. He walked through the hallways and entered his room.

He immediately crossed his legs and meditated.

…

*Knock* *Knock* *Knock*

A few hours later, the door to Lawrend's room was knocked on multiple times. He awoke from his meditation and spoke, "Come in."

"Master."

Aezel was at the door. Her current appearance was drastically different compared to before.

Her iconic straight red horns were nowhere to be found. She stared at him while fidgeting her fingers.

"What happened?" Lawrend asked.

"My… my horns fell off…"

Aezel walked to him and gave him her two red horns. She looked less ferocious and cuter compared to usual.

"What?"

Lawrend took them and stared at the two in confusion. He lifted his head and stared at Aezel's body. He used his Elemental Eyes and saw through the changes in her body.

"Oh, you're an Earth Mage now. At least, comparable to it," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Master. And this also happened."

Two jet-black wings appeared behind Aezel's shoulders. She spread them apart and black feathers fell on the floor. It seemed like they were absorbing the light from their surroundings.

"So your transformation wasn't finished last time, huh?" Lawrend muttered.

"I think so, Master. I'm worried…"

Aezel couldn't chuckle about this change. She was used to having her demon horns. She wouldn't be recognized anymore once she returned to the Demon World.

"Anything else?"

"This too," Aezel replied and a void-like halo appeared on top of her head.

At the moment, she looked like the inverse of angels. The bringer of death and chaos.

"...Interesting. Call Ramiela here."

"I'm already here, Master," Ramiela replied and walked inside the room as if on cue.

"Do you know anything about this?"

"Yes, Master. She's a true Fallen angel now. She threw away her demonic bloodline and became a pure enemy of angels. I have a powerful urge to attack her right now," Ramiela explained.

Ramiela's blonde hair turned black, and her pure-white angel wings appeared behind her. She eyed Aezel as if she was her greatest enemy.

"Calm down. I want to know what it means to be a Fallen Angel," Lawrend said and stood between them.

"Master, Fallen Angels are anomalies. They don't require a god to exist, and instead of light magic, they harbor Darkness magic instead."

"Can you use Darkness magic now?" Lawrend asked Aezel.

"Do you have a spell for me, Master?" Aezel asked.

"I don't know much about Darkness magic. Go find Aleshia."

"I will go, Master," Ramiela said and bowed before leaving.

Aezel looked down and turned red from shame. She rubbed her legs together and glanced at him from time to time.

"Master, w-w-what do you think about my current appearance?" Aezel asked, full of nervousness.

"You look cool and beautiful. You don't have to worry that I will dislike you," Lawrend smoothly replied.

"Ah… Fufufufu. Thank you, Master."

Aezel's nervous heart swiftly calmed down after hearing his reply. It made her heart beat swiftly for a different reason.

"What does it feel?" Lawrend asked.

"I feel more powerful compared to before. It's like I'm a new person," Aezel answered.

"Nothing bad? Like lost fingers or something?"

"Ah!"

Aezel panicked and swiftly checked her fingers on her hands and feet. Only after double checking did she relax.

"You scared me, Master."

"Your horns fell off. If there was a problem, something else might've fallen off," Lawrend replied.

"Master, Sister Aleshia is here."

Ramiela looked inside before making way for Aleshia.

Aleshia entered the room and gawked at Aezel's new appearance. She could feel that she was familiar but not at the same time.

"Sister Aleshia," Aezel said and looked back to her.

"Sister Aezel!?"

Aleshia was stunned. She walked forward and rubbed the spot on Aezel's head where her horns were previously popping out from.

"You lost them?"

"Yes…"

Aezel furrowed her eyebrows in pain. She loved her horns and it pained her to lose them without her control.

"Master, what did you call me here for?" Aleshia asked.

She wore her black assassin uniform. It was obvious that she was doing some work before coming here.

"Can you give some of your Darkness Magic spells to Aezel? I want to see if she could cast Darkness magic now. I can't tell with my eyes," Lawrend replied.

Even his Elemental Eyes couldn't tell if Aezel could use Darkness magic or not. Although he could tell that something was in her body he couldn't accurately tell what it was.

"Sure. It goes like this…"

Aleshia started reciting her Beginner Darkness Magic Spell. It was simple and only blinded someone for a second.

"Vision Steal!"

Aezel insta-cast the spell, and Aleshia's vision suddenly turned dark. Darkness mana from Aezel's wings, halo, and body hit Aleshia's eyes.

"This… It's too powerful…" Aleshia said with slight panic in her voice.

"Do you want me to help?!" Lawrend asked loudly.

"No, Master. It's making me anxious, but I want to see the effects of this spell clearly."

After ten more seconds, Aleshia's vision returned. She looked at Aezel with surprise in her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Aezel asked in worry.

"I'm fine. Your spell blinded me for thirty seconds. It seemed like you amplify darkness magic," Aleshia concluded.

"Just like what the legends say. Fallen angels have the purest darkness mana in the world. Their spells are unlike the usual spells of the mortal world," Ramiela murmured as she stared at Aezel seriously.

"Isn't that just like your light magic?" Lawrend asked.

"Yes, Master. But this purity of our mana made us born to be enemies. I can sense my pure light mana swaying my emotions and thoughts," Ramiela replied with grave concern in her voice.

"What do I do to make it stop?"

He was afraid that Ramiela wouldn't be able to hold back and actually attack Aezel. It would be a mess at that point.

"Take her in as your fallen angel, Master. I don't know if that would work but it's worth it to try."
