Combat Maid Harem



Lawrend was stunned in shock. As someone who understood magic formations, this one was the greatest he had seen. It was even better than the creation of the Runic Heaven Mage of the Altro Federation.

This type of magic formation required the combined effort of at least 20 Runic Heaven Mages. That amount of Heaven Mages that understood magic formations at a high level was unheard of.

Suddenly, Lawrend saw flashes of light. His vision blurred and a memory seeped into his soul. A single man stood before the portal, but it was not turned on.

This man stared at the portal and didn't say anything.

"Maybe we can escape this forsaken world! We have to try," the man said.

His mage cloak fluttered and the portal turned on. He rushed head-first into the portal and a black mass of people followed behind him.

The vision ended and Lawrend held his head in pain.

"What the…"

Lawrend stared at the portal speechlessly.

"Are you okay?" Sanaka worriedly asked.

It was impossible for someone at Lawrend's level to become ill without any significant consequences.

"I'm fine. An old injury came up," Lawrend lied and smiled at her.

Sanaka was still suspicious, but she nodded her head.

Lawrend's smile disappeared as soon as she turned her head away. The way he looked at the portal changed.

That memory surfaced from the part of the Goddess' soul he received when they made their soul contract. An unexpected variable appeared which made Lawrend more confused.

At first, he thought that this technology was left behind by Valentina's generation. It seemed like it was not the case.

He could also still remember the memory of a golden age in the human world from the Goddess' memories, but that didn't match up with the memory he just saw.

That meant that whatever happened here happened independently of the human world. It was also only in Valentina's generation that this world connected to the human world.

Back then this world was called the Spirit World. It only changed after West took part of the world's laws to become a Divine Mage.

West was also not killed by the Goddess. Lawrend knew that because he could sense West's existence due to the way he controlled the mana of the demon world.

'The Demon World is free from the Goddess' influence,' Lawrend thought to himself.

He realized that the Demon World might not be in the Goddess' control. What if this world was its own independent world before it collided with the human world and connected with it?

As for the demons, what if they were just fallen angels that escaped to the demon world and devolved to become demons? This idea was still a theory as Lawrend had no way to confirm if he was correct.

"How do you control this portal?" Lawrend asked Sanaka.

Sanaka pointed at a wall with glowing runes. An Earth Demon was standing there and watching the portal with the runes behind her.

The two went there and landed.

"Heaven Demon Sanaka and Ruler Lawrend!" she exclaimed and bowed her head.

She was shocked. Lawrend became the ruler of the demon world a few hours ago. She didn't expect to see him so soon.

He was like a legend in the eyes of some demons. He appeared out of nowhere and supposedly killed Heaven Demons Gilgamesh and Polka.

The thought of a Heaven Demon dying to someone was inconceivable. Thus, some admired Lawrend for his unfathomable strength.

"Mm." Lawrend calmly nodded his head.

"We only understand a part of the controls. By tapping that symbol, we can either make the big portal open or the numerous portals scattered around the demon world open," Sanaka explained and ignored the Earth Demon.

She pointed at one of the many unique symbols.

Lawrend was shocked. There were still so many the demons didn't understand about this portal.

"Have you tried the other symbols?" Lawrend asked.

It was a natural train of thought. It was such a waste. Who knew what kind of other abilities the controls were capable of?

It was safe to imagine that fully understanding it would yield them great benefits.

"We do not dare. The controls manage a very powerful magic formation that encompasses the whole demon world. If something goes wrong, we're afraid that it could only end in our deaths."

Sanaka wasn't joking around. There was a time when someone assigned here pressed one of the other symbols and the locations of some of the portals moved.

It was a big deal back then as the location of the portals needed to be known so they could be used effectively. If they were lost, it would be hard to find them again.

"I see."

Lawrend agreed with their logic. It was indeed scary to be given control of something so powerful.

"Wait, are you sure this thing reaches the whole demon world?" Lawrend asked in shock. He realized that there was more to her words.

"Yes. Now that you saw the controls and sensed its mana, you could sense it faintly everywhere in the demon world."

"Wow…"

Lawrend would be damned if someone told him this was possible without him seeing the whole thing. A world was very huge.

It was hard to imagine how one could carve a magic formation to reach all of it.

The amount of knowledge and power needed to do such a thing probably requires the whole effort of a whole race at their golden age. It might even explain the words of the man he saw in that vision earlier.

'Were those people trying to escape this world?' Lawrend guessed.

The demon world was the Spirit World before and Lawrend had seen its appearance before when he relived West's memories because of Valentina. He saw this world as lush and abundant in resources.

He couldn't understand why so many experts and the whole race in this world would leave so desperately. He needed to know more.
