Combat Maid Harem
Chapter 387 - Mana Vortex

As expected, even Elena felt that it was too straining. She pushed him away and looked at him weirdly.

"Master, you do realize that we don't have to kiss?" Elena said and blinked at him innocently.

"Ah…"

Lawrend realized it as soon as she said it. He forgot about it since she kissed him in the first place. He assumed that that was how it should be done.

"Fufufufu. Elena, why don't you kiss Master more?" Aezel teased her.

"Ehehe…" Elena looked away.

After realizing that they didn't have to kiss, Lawrend grabbed Elena's hand and absorbed his lightning mana that way.

They only had to have skin contact, and Elena only kissed him earlier to make it more romantic.

The night sky hung above them as the two proceeded to transfer mana.

"Master, we won't eat till you finish, okay?" Aleshia said and looked at the others.

They nodded in agreement at her words. As they were already powerful mages, they were capable of fasting.

"Nyaa?"

Amene wasn't a powerful mage. She was simply a True Mage Bow User. She didn't know what to do since she was already feeling hungry.

Humility, Grape, and Nao were the same. They didn't have that much mana in their bodies to act as temporary sustenance.

"Humility, Amene, Grape, and Nao. The three of you can go ahead and eat," Lawrend said.

He noticed the expression on Amene's face and realized what she was thinking almost immediately. It must be because of his soul absorbing mana earlier that caused his senses to become more sensitive.

"Thank you, Master-nyaa!" Ameen responded.

Aleshia realized her mistake and apologized.

"I forgot the four of you aren't that strong yet," Aleshia said.

"Just wait, Sister Aleshia. I will become strong soon," Humility said calmly.

With Lawrend's lessons, she could feel herself approaching the cusp of High Mage. She only needed to comprehend some more magic knowledge to become a High Mage.

"Me too!" Amene shouted.

She was a bow user, and this forest was a perfect training ground for her. She decided to train in the darkness after eating.

"And I… will depend on everyone as always," Grape said and smiled at them.

She was satisfied with herself. She knew that she didn't have much talent for things besides pleasuring men.

"Grape, you will learn martial arts swordsmanship," Lawrend replied.

He didn't like the idea that someone in his maid harem wouldn't be able to fight with him. In the future, they would all grow strong, while she would grow old if that happened.

"Nyaa! Master…"

Grape felt relieved hearing his words. She didn't have that much confidence in herself, but hearing him say that gave her the push she needed to work hard.

As for Nao, she was not sure if she could even become that strong. She only recently learned that she had an affinity for fire magic.

Her knowledge was even more subpar compared to Amene, who lived her life in a forest.

And so, the four of them headed out to eat. Humility led the way with her lightning magic, Amene in the back with her bow, Grape, and Nao in the center.

They hunted for food, and Nao would start the fire for them to cook the meat.

Lawrend continued absorbing his mana back and absorbing fire mana in the air.

"This is taking too long," Lawrend complained after another hour.

"Don't you like the touch of my hand, Master?" Elena asked.

"Of course I like it. It's soft, but this mana absorption of mine is unbearably slow. I need to replace a way to absorb maan faster," Lawrend replied.

He was quite patient, but his patience already ran out.

"Hmmm…"

Lawrend thought about all of his magic knowledge.

"Ah!"

Lawrend facepalmed himself. He remembered something he should have done since earlier.

Suddenly, the air around them became dense and heavy. Gusts of wind shook the trees.

"Master?" Elena asked in surprise.

The fire mana in the air made a vortex with Lawrend's body in the center. He absorbed the fire mana in the air significantly faster than before.

This resulted in him absorbing the lightning mana in Elena's body even faster.

"A-Ahh~" Elena couldn't help but moan.

The fast flow of mana stimulated her body with pleasure since the mana was stored in every part of her body, resulting in some of it stimulating her erogenous zones.

The others around them watched in amazement as Lawrend's body became more and more powerful.

He shortly became a True Mage then after a few more minutes, he became a High Mage.

"W-Wait, you're absorbing too much, Master!" Elena shouted in alarm.

She realized that Lawrend exceeded what she absorbed from him.

Lawrend was so focused that he didn't hear what she said. He continued absorbing her mana, and Elena was forced to absorb the lightning mana in the air to supplement it.

Her mana reserve is vast, but she didn't like it at the speed he was absorbing it from her. It might become irreversible if he absorbed too much.

"Huh?" Elena looked at the air around them.

She not only felt fire mana in the air but also lightning mana. Lawrend was absorbing both elements at the same time.

"Master is..!"

Elena realized what was going on. Aezel realized it too, and they stared at him in shock.

Lawrend slowly exceeded High Mage, and after another dozen minutes, his mana absorption became even more intense.

The trees around them were already shaking so hard, and the water of the lake started making rough waves.

"Master's becoming an Arch Mage!" Ella exclaimed.

Just after Ella realized it, a powerful aura exuded from Lawrend's body. He successfully became an Arch Mage.

The air around them became calm, and the wind disappeared as if nothing had happened. The waves on the lake were the only evidence left of what happened.

Lawrend opened his eyes. His left eye glowed golden while his right eye glowed red.. Divine Lightning and Fire Mana flowed through them.
