Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend felt disgusted being in someone else's body. He controlled the liquid planetary system and left the body altogether. The power of the planetary system quickly turned Gilgamesh's physical body into a pool of blood.

And all of a sudden, something miraculous happened.

The pool of blood was attracted together and joined with the liquid planetary system.

"Hahahaha!" Lawrend laughed.

Defeating a Heaven Demon was an achievement. Now that Gilgamesh was dead, Lawrend used his physical body as nutrients for his planetary system. All of Gilgamesh's demonic fire mana clumped together into a big ball.

The other left over parts turned into the shape of a ball and a smaller ball. They formed into the same planetary system right before Lawrend's eyes. All of his understanding of magic was held together in it.

"Not done yet."

Lawrend wasn't satisfied with this. Next, he needed to create Divine Magic for the Plant Element.

Lawrend looked around, but there was barely any plant in the vicinity. Most of them were desert plants that were far and few. It wasn't a lush forest.

He got another idea.

'I wonder if Valentina's old Plant Mana was kept underground..?' Lawrend thought to himself.

She was a Heaven Mage during her prime. It wouldn't be weird if her mana fell into the desert and sunk into the earth. That type of mana was very pure, after all. It wouldn't easily turn back to gaseous and impure mana.

'I need to try.'

Lawrend crossed his legs and focused on controlling the demonic plant mana around him. He created a tide of them and forced them close together into a seed-like object.

Lawrend created hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands, to millions of these seeds. He threw them all around. They all had varying amounts of plant mana and demonic plant mana.

Soon, these seeds sprouted. Their leaves had green and purple colors to them. Some were on random patches, and some created beautiful patterns.

They looked like an army of mini plant soldiers from above. Lawrend opened his palm downward and sent a flurry of plant mana and demonic plant mana. This caused the little sproutings to grow bigger.

Their roots extended downward on the loose red desert sand.

And that wasn't enough. Lawrend waved his other hand, and a torrent of rainfall appeared out of nowhere. These provided water for the sproutings causing them to grow even more.

The desert sand became as hard as soil ground as the wetness, and the roots held it together. Just like a giant colony of ants, these sproutings worked together and extended their roots deep into the soil.

The deeper they went, the slower the growth became.

This was Lawrend's way to find Valentina's lost plant mana. By using these sproutings that were made with his plant mana and demonic mana, he would be able to make use of their natural sensitivity to plant mana to sense the location of the lost plant mana.

It wasn't a fast process.

…

A whole week and a day passed as Lawrend kept floating in the center of the mana storm. Aleshia and the others had checked on him several times, and they found that he was safe.

They thought it was weird because there were some weird fluctuations of mana before and the Will he released earlier. Nevertheless, they didn't worry too much and patiently waited in the little village they had created with magic and materials.

…

Another week passed by, and Lawrend felt like he was getting bored. He was simply absorbing mana from the mana rain and pumping them to the trees around him.

You read that right. Those little sprouts had become trees after just two weeks. Lawrend wasn't surprised at their growth as he was expecting it.

He even rested on top of one to make his life easier.

The continued flow of mana in the surroundings and the rain Lawrend created caused the trees to be especially vibrant. They looked like weird hybrids as they had green and purple patches on their leaves.

…

Another week went by in a flash. Lawrend already doubted whether his theory was right. So far, the roots had reached deeper than the location of the ancient earth mana he found. At this rate, they might bore through to the molten part underground.

The extreme pressure also made it harder for the roots to continue downward. They had to become harder, like tree trunks, to resist the enormous pressure and heat.

"*Sigh*"

Lawrend was dejected. He decided to wait for a few more days. If there were still no results, he would stop and simply force this forest to create the Divine Magic for him.

…

The few days had passed, and Lawrend had lost all of his hope. He wanted to absorb the mana so he would have a part of Valentina inside of him besides the sacrifice she made. But it seemed like that was asking for too much.

Lawrend stood up and stopped sending mana to the trees. He took a deep breath and mentally prepared himself for the next step.

Creating the Plant Divine Magic would be hard, by his estimates. He rarely used the element besides now. He had made some spells for it, but there were no chances for him to use them since using plant magic on a floating enemy was not as effective as simply using his fire and lightning magic.

The trees around him started shaking as he floated higher and higher. Their leaves rattled like maracas and sent leaves flying everywhere. It resulted in a scene similar to the Fall season.

"Fuse!"

Lawrend extended his two palm out and slowly brought them together.

Down below, pairs of trees started moving across the desert and fusing with each other. They merged and didn't turn bigger, but they became stronger as the plant mana they contained became purer and more sophisticated.

"Fuse!"

Lawrend repeated the process, and more of the trees fused with each other. They created powerful trees that would never be seen in the wild.
