Combat Maid Harem

Once Lawrend was done, Veronica's eyelids trembled. Even though this was inside her body, her soul body became dormant after entering into the new soul body Lawrend gave to her.

Veronica opened her eyes and saw Lawrend's anxious eyes staring at her. Her soul was much better than before so she could clearly see his face.

"Father?" Veronica called out in confusion.

"I'm so glad!" Lawrend immediately went and embraced her.

The whole thing was very stressful for him. He didn't know what he would do if he messed up along the way. If he lost her, his life might take a turn for the worse.

"What's going on?" Veronica asked in confusion.

She was more aware right now compared to before. She looked around and saw the emptiness in her mind.

"This is inside your mind. You are in your soul body. I still haven't etched your mana pathways onto it," Lawrend replied.

"What..?"

Lawrend released her from his embrace. She looked around the vast darkness. The only light sources were the two of them. Their bodies emitted a serene glow of light.

[AN: As I was writing this, it seemed weird. If you noticed anything, that's not my intention.]

"Come here. Relax. It will be painful, but you're strong. You can endure it," Lawrend said and lifted her up to his lap while he was sitting cross-legged.

"Yes, Father~. I can bear the pain. Sister Nephilim managed it, and so can I. Let's get done with it," Veronica replied.

Lawrend nodded his head approvingly and held both of her small hands. He closed his eyes and sent his soul mana into her soul body. He immediately went to work and started etching her mana pathways on her fingers.

Veronica let out a shrill cry. The pain wasn't as bad as Veronica expected it to be. Nevertheless, it was still painful for her.

A few hours passed by and Lawrend was done etching her inversed mana pathways.

He left her mind and jumped back into his body.

"Master, was it a success?" Valentina asked.

"Yes. It was worth it," Lawrend replied and smiled.

He regained control of his physical body and opened his eyes.

"Master!" Aezel exclaimed.

"It was a success. Veronica should be waking up soon," Lawrend answered.

"FUFUFUFU!! My anxiousness is now gone!" Aezel shouted in excitement.

She went over beside Veronica and embraced her tightly.

Lawrend looked up and saw the dark night sky. He couldn't help but imagine that Goddess looking down at him. It felt uncomfortable knowing that his future was not in his control anymore.

Lawrend released a long sigh and turned to look at his other children. They were already sleeping.

"Master, I'm glad everything worked out," Aleshia said and gave him a damp warm towel.

"Thanks. I'm glad too."

Lawrend wiped his face and returned the towel to her.

"Next ones are Eina, Hanz, and Law," Lawrend said.

"I will wake Eina."

Aleshia left his side and went to the tents. She returned after a few minutes while holding Eina's hand. Eina walked towards Lawrend while rubbing her eyelids. She looked up at him and realized what was going on.

"It's my turn, Fathew?"

"Yes. You will be able to use soul magic soon," Lawrend replied and smiled at her.

"Yes..!"

Eina bubbled up with excitement.

Veronica jumped down from the table and looked over at Eina.

"Good luck, Sister Eina," Veronica said with a smile.

"Hehehe…" Eina giggled.

Lawrend felt happy seeing the cordial interaction between the two. He kept his eyes on Veronica to see if she was having problems controlling her body. She walked towards the tents with Aezel holding her hand.

After seeing that, Lawrend became sure that Veronica was fine now. The soul was very sensitive. If it had any problems, it would quickly show from the way she controlled her physical body.

Lawrend carried Eina up to the table and lay her on the mattress.

"Close your eyes."

Lawrend sat cross-legged beside Eina and entered her mind.

…

And so, Lawrend spent the whole week entering the minds of his children. He gave them all mana pathways in their souls.

"Line up. I will give each of you your own spells," Lawrend said.

"Veronica, you take these."

Lawrend passed her three scrolls. They were beginner mage spells for Lightning, Fire, and Darkness magic.

"Nephilim, you already have your light spell so here are the rest."

He gave her Lightning and Water magic spells.

"Eina."

Lawrend gave Eina spells for Lightning, Fire, and Wind magic.

And just like their respecting elements. Lawrend gave Hanz Lightning and Plant magic spells. Law: Fire, Water, and Light magic. Courage: Lightning and Fire magic spells. Zio: Darkness and Water magic spells. Straw: Wind and Lightning magic spells.

These spells were similar to the one he gave to Nephilim earlier. They could end up becoming vastly different spells according to the imagination of their users. It allowed them to create their own powerful spells in the future.

With their talent, it shouldn't be a problem for them to dominate at the lower levels.

"Now, all of you try to become Beginner Mages in front of me," Lawrend said.

He sat down on the ground and waited. They followed his example and meditated. They memorized the spells and read them out loud.

One by one, colorful lights of magic came out of their hands and struck the ground in front of them. Lawrend and the others didn't dodge when stray spells went their way. They were too weak to truly hurt them.

"Good."

In simply half a day, they all finished. Except for Inferno, all of Lawrend's children had become Beginner Mages.

"I will give all of you a month to play around. Try out your magic. I will be expecting all of you to do well when I see all of you again," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Fathew!"

"Yes, Father~!"

"Yes, Father!"

They chimed in together. Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction and turned around.
