Combat Maid Harem-Chapter 744 [Bonus] The Ignis Clan’s First Ancestor

Lawrend gritted his teeth as he was thrown around within the convergence point of the flame. At this place, the huge walls of flames gathered into a small point that repeatedly battered Lawrend.

A body of an Earth Mage without any protection would have died inside as their bodies would have been ripped to shreds and burnt to nothing.

Lawrend could clearly feel the rainbow sphere quickly weakening. He might have a lot of abundant mana from the elements, but they were still nothing before all of the pure fire mana that was in the Ignis Clan's air.

"Valentina…"

Lawrend uttered her name. He still missed her. At the moment before death, he remembered her sacrifice for him. It would all become a waste if he died.

Lawrend's eyes became clear in an instant. He pulled out his planetary system.

It hovered above his head and glowed brightly. The power of the various elements gathered within.

"I'm not going down!"

Lawrend poured the rest of the leftover mana from the tattered rainbow sphere into the planetary system. It created a beautiful swirl of colors that mesmerized those watching from below.

Lawrend touched upon an illusory power. It eased the restriction on his space magic.

*Boom!*

Space collapsed, and he disappeared. The rest of the huge walls of flames compressed into a small point without Lawrend stopping it, thus resulting in another brilliant explosion.

*BOOM!*

The shockwave ruffled the Third Ancestor's clothes. He looked around him and found Lawrend standing behind him. He looked weak but still alive.

"That was fun…" Lawrend said and grinned.

His clothes were tattered in all places. A rush of adrenaline filled his body, making him euphoric. The power of a Heaven Mage was so amazing!

"How was my spell?" the Third Ancestor calmly asked.

"It felt like I was hit by two tsunamis of fire manas. I would've easily drowned if I didn't teleport away."

Lawrend described it to him without feeling afraid of revealing his ability to use space magic. After all, it was useless to hide it at this point. It was better for him to come out clean and leave a better impression. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m

"That spell can sever your soul from the world and truly remove someone from existence. It is an ability only Heaven Mages have."

"I wouldn't reincarnate if I died there?"

"You can say that." The Third Ancestor nodded his head. "Come, the First Ancestor is waiting."

The Third Ancestor flew deeper into the Phoenix Garden, and Lawrend followed behind him.

"Master!" Aezel shouted as loud as she could.

"I will be back," Lawrend replied with his voice close to her ears.

She shivered and tingled. It felt like he was beside her, and she thought he was about to eat her up. A faint blush covered her face.

It was not only her that heard Lawrend's voice. All of them did, but his children were very confused about why their mothers were blushing pink. It was an odd scene, nonetheless.

…

The reason Lawrend followed the Third Ancestor was that he was willing to make some compromises for his children and maids to survive. He was almost out of mana. He could try teleporting away, but what about them?

Lawrend didn't want to lose everyone. Thus, he gathered his courage and followed into the lion's den.

They landed right beside an ancient temple with pillars all around it. It was about two people high and gave out a humble aura. Whoever lived within didn't care about mundane wealth.

"The First Ancestor is my grandmother. She will tell you everything inside."

The Third Ancestor opened the stone door and urged him inside.

Lawrend walked ahead and didn't look back.

The inside of the temple was dark. There were dim fire lanterns attached to the ceiling, but they were too dim to truly light up the whole place. The further Lawrend walked through the hallway, the hotter his surroundings became.

He walked and walked and walked for who knows how long. The end was never in sight.

After a few hours of nonstop walking, Lawrend arrived before a stone chamber that glowed red hot. The ceiling was several meters high, and a beautiful phoenix was perched on top of a fiery red tree branch that grew from the ground at the center. It stared at him as if it had been waiting for his arrival.

"I can smell her aura on you…" she said slowly in a high-pitched voice.

"Who?"

"The Goddess is everlasting in this world. You are her hand this time, huh?"

"I'm thankful for your help before, but isn't it rude not to introduce yourself first?" Lawrend retorted.

"Hehehe. You are brave. My name is Phoenix Ignis. I'm your First Ancestor and the inheritor of the Otherworldly Phoenix bloodline."

Her introduction wasn't amazing in any way. She still looked the same. Her fiery wings closed, and her aura was as calm as ever. free𝒘ℯ𝗯𝙣𝗼ν𝑒𝗹.𝒄o𝒎

"Well, I am Lawrend Ignis! The first All-Elemental mage in existence and also a maid connoisseur."

"Hehehe. You are interesting. Your weakness is so blatant, yet you are still so brave."

"My maids?"

"Masterfully, correct. When the end comes, you will have to choose between them or life, hahahaha!"

Her laughter sounded maniac and condescending. Lawrend's mood soured, and his favorable impression of her fell to the ground.

"I suggest killing them all. You might have the chance in the future."

Lawrend took a deep breath, knowing that his anger would not bring him anywhere at this point. He decided to ignore her silly antics.

"So you're telling me that the Goddess will purge the world again?" Lawrend asked.

"Oh, you don't know? Aren't you her little pawn?" she asked teasingly.

Her voice started to become annoying to Lawrend. He had the urge to cook her.

"Is it safe here to talk about the Goddess?" Lawrend carefully asked and looked around.

"I'm hiding from her. I may not be a Divine Mage, but I can still hurt her if I sacrifice my whole being."
