Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend continued staring at the sun in a daze as he thought of nonsensical things. He slowly inhaled the mana from his surroundings to refill the mana he had lost in his battle against the Morning Dew Heaven Mage.

…

A few days passed, and Lawrend's group reached a long distance away from the Ignis Clan. They were moving very fast, but the Primitus Continent was absurdly large.

At this point, Lawrend was already fully healed. He flew among them, and they slowed down their pace earlier to a comfortable one.

Right now, they were passing above an Imperial Capital. Lawrend managed to overhear something.

"Huh? The Altro Federation is participating?" Lawrend repeated in shock.

He stopped, and the others stopped as soon as he did.

"I heard it too…" Ember said.

"Me too."

The others nodded their heads. They were powerful enough to hear the words being constantly repeated in the city below. It would be hard for them to not hear it.

"The Altro Federation, huh… The Three Great Clans too… What the hell is going on?"

Lawrend was worried about the future of this world. This chaos wasn't good for his children. He was glad that he was heading to the Demon World.

"Sir."

A woman called out to them.

Lawrend turned his head and saw a middle-aged woman with a well-developed body and a veiled face staring in their direction.

"A Heaven Mage!" Lawrend exclaimed.

Why was it that Heaven Mages suddenly started popping out of nowhere? Before he met the Third Ancestor, he had practically only met one, and that was the Pillar Heaven Mage.

"Are you Lawrend?" the mysterious Heaven Mage asked.

"Yes, who are you?" Lawrend solemnly asked.

His maids gripped his hands tightly, and their palms sweated. It was nerve-wracking to see another Heaven Mage after their Master had just suffered at the hands of one a few days ago.

"I'm the Seeing Heaven Mage of the Altro Federation. I knew that you'd be here," she answered. Lawrend could faintly imagine a smile behind her veil.

"What!? What is the Altro Federation doing here?" Lawrend asked in disbelief.

His maids, especially Aleshia and Ella, stared at the woman in surprise. It was hard for them to imagine that speaking of the Altro Federation would summon one of them here.

"I foresaw the future and came here," she replied.

"That's absurd!"

Lawrend was thoroughly shocked. He had never imagined that it was possible to see the future. The chances of the Seeing Heaven mage to chance upon him here were close to nil.

He could only believe her words even though it was hard for him to believe them.

"We do not want the Spring and Zephyr clans to destroy the Ignis Clan and possibly kill you. We have come to put an end to this silly war," she explained to him in a solemn tone.

Lawrend could tell that she was serious from the tone of her voice. She was determined to uphold what she had just said.

"So you guys knew from the start that the Three Great Clans would start a war?" Lawrend asked.

"Sort of. The seeing ritual I did only showed that the Primitus Continent would fall into disorder. Thus, I convinced everyone to come here."

Lawrend gaped at her words. If all of the Heaven Mages from the Altro Federation were here, it would mean that there were 38 Heaven Mages in the Primitus Continent at the moment!

That number caused Lawrend to shudder. If they attacked together, would they be able to destroy a quarter of the continent? It was very much possible.

The Seeing Heaven Mage flew closer and said, "We need your help. You have already talked about this with Big Brother Pillar, right?"

Lawrend's mind went blank as he couldn't remember what she was talking about. So many things happened, and he focused on practicing his magic. The things that happened in the Altro continent had turned into a blur.

"The Goddess…" she whispered.

Lawrend's pupils widened as he remembered it. The Pillar Heaven Mage talked to him about the dangers of the Goddess and their plan to kill her in the future. So the Seeing Heaven Mage was here to speak to him about it.

"I remember now. What do you want me to do?" Lawrend asked and nodded his head seriously.

He was ready to do everything to help them kill the Goddess. He wouldn't be able to escape her control. The moment he became a Sub-God, he would be under her direct control.

It was a future Lawrend didn't want to happen. If he wasn't forced by his circumstances, he wouldn't have made that soul contract with her at all, even if that would have caused his death.

"Escape to wherever you want to go. The Primitus Continent will be in great turmoil until your return."

"Is that all? You don't want me to do anything else?"

It was already what he was about to do. She didn't need to tell him that.

"Ah, yes. If you meet the Divine Mage of the Primitus Continent, ask him whose side he's on."

"W-Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttt!????"

Lawrend gawked, opened his eyes wide, and extended his legs and arms outwards to express his greatest shock. This was the first time he had been surprised this much ever since he had arrived in this world.

"Yes. There is a Divine Mage in this world. We had detected his existence. He isn't a part of any of the Three Great Clans. We suspect that he was from the previous era."

The sudden revelation stunned Lawrend. A painful feeling engulfed his heart as the thought of the previous era reminded him of Valentina.

"Why are you sad?" the Seeing Heaven Mage worriedly asked.

"Nothing…" Lawrend replied and gathered himself.

"If you're worried about the Divine Mage killing you, I suggest you become a Heaven Mage first before you try to look for him. You'd be powerless before him otherwise."

"I will. Thank you. I will do what you said. How do I contact you?"

"The crystal ball in your Storage Ring can contact the Pillar Heaven Mage, right?"

"I see."
