Combat Maid Harem

Before he knew it, Lawrend's children became Heaven Mages one by one. It was inevitable as they were all very talented, to begin with.

Sanaka and the others were surprised but didn't think much of it at first.

But Lawrend's children became Heaven Mages like worms appearing after a light rain. It was unexpected that they all became Heaven Mages successively.

"Good."

That was all Lawrend had to say to his children. He was already expecting it, so it was never a surprise for him. It was more like a matter of patience.

Each of them developed their own magic. These magics were combination spells that were non-existent outside of Lawrend's children. He specifically taught them his magic spells, so they would grow up like this.

Lawrend then spent another two years understanding the whole magic branching of the demon world. He learned more than he could ever hope for. The elusive level of Divine Mage became visible in his sight.

He thought that it would take him a very very long time, but it was just over the horizon. The magic knowledge contained in the demon world's magic branching was astounding.

Lawrend figured that he only understood half of it, but it was already enough for him to feel like he could grasp the Divine Mage. His divinity grew stronger as he understood the elements not just as their singular forms.

He understood the elements as a single whole. Space magic was deeply embedded into the magic branching, so that was the magic Lawrend improved the most.

With a flick of his finger, he could teleport others. If he gave it his all, he could teleport to the other side of the demon world. It was too overpowered.

Lawrend was shocked.

If you still couldn't understand why Lawrend ignored his children and women, this was the reason. It was the road to the peak of magic.

Lawrend got a small idea of what happened in the past.

Before this world was called the demon world, it was called the spirit world. Then before that, it was a world of a civilization at the peak of its existence.

They worked hard together to create this magic branching. The result was a portal that could take them anywhere in the universe.

That realization shook Lawrend deep into his core. Maybe, just maybe, this portal might be able to bring him back home.

Lawrend quickly scratched that idea as he realized something. That world might have a God or Goddess of its own. They wouldn't be happy if he returned with the power of magic and ensuing chaos.

Lawrend was still not sure about the whole thing, but the reason the demon world and the human world became connected together was that the demon world had no God or Goddess.

It might explain why the civilization left this world. Though, Lawrend had no idea why that was such a big deal. If there was no God or Goddess, wouldn't that allow the civilization to grow higher than possible without the threat of reset?

Alas, Lawrend had no one that could answer his question. Perhaps only the Goddess would know. The problem was that Lawrend knew she wouldn't answer his question.

"One day, I will have all of my questions answered."

Lawrend spent more and more time. He almost forgot the existence of his maids and his children.

The only thing in his mind was magic. Lawrend didn't expect that he would become this passionate about magic. It was just a tool he used in the start to get stronger.

Right now, he just wanted to see the peak of magic. He wanted to become a God. He wanted to complete his goal of creating a world where he could live forever with his maids and family.

As Lawrend was studying, he decided to create a soul vessel. He created this to carry the souls of the dead to study them.

He still didn't have a clear understanding of the soul, so it was his next field to study. This soul vessel was made in the shape of a dice.

Each number specified the level of strength of the soul. The stronger the soul was, the higher the number it would be on the dice.

"I understand now," Lawrend said.

He gained an 81% understanding of the demon world's magic branching. He was now confident that he could operate the controls without making a mistake and creating a catastrophe.

This announcement came as a pleasant surprise to the Heaven Demons. They looked at him weirdly. He was like a different person compared to the Lawrend they saw the first time they met.

His gaze was electrifying, and his eyes hid wisdom so deep that one would be entranced with them. His movements were fluid and followed the natural harmony of the world.

His voice changed slightly in tone. He spoke like a person that had seen the vicissitudes of multiple lifetimes. Lawrend had become a wise sage.

"This is how to control the magic branching," Lawrend said and passed them a thick black book.

He compiled there his understanding of the controls. He still looked the same, but the aura he exuded stunned Sanaka who was supposed to take the book.

"Y-Yes…"

Sanaka got out of her daze and took the book in a panic. She took a deep breath to relax herself. Lawrend was attuned to nature which increased his charm hundreds of times.

"Read it and ask me anything you don't understand. Afterward, I shall go. I need to spend some time with my maids," Lawrend said.

His voice was calm and unhurried. The Heaven Demons couldn't disagree with his words as disagreeing didn't feel right in their hearts.

Juju was stunned when she realized that she was also affected. She felt like Lawrend became out of her reach in just a few years. His improvement was beyond her scope of understanding.

She could imagine that he could take them all on right now and defeat them with his magic and that alone made her feel a sense of pride in her heart.

'She was this guy's woman.'
