Combat Maid Harem-Chapter 657 The Race To Sense The Mana Pathways

657 The Race To Sense The Mana Pathways

And the last one to be called was the androgynous girl at the end of the line. She calmly stared at Lawrend without any disturbance in her innocent eyes.

"Nephilim!"

"Yes, My God?"

Nephilim half-kneeled to Lawrend. Her eyes gave off the feeling that she would go through hell or heaven to accomplish any of his orders. Ramiela watched from the distance and felt proud.

"Since everyone is here, we can start," Lawrend said.

He took one last look at his children and stared them in their eyes. He saw excitement, nervousness, and playfulness within them.

"I already know your elements."

To Lawrend's chagrin, his children all had two elements or more. It was not as good as his talent with all of the elements, but it was enough for him. They didn't disappoint him.

Zio: Darkness and Water magic. Eina: Lightning, Fire, and Wind magic. Hanz: Lightning and Plant magic. Law: Fire, Water, and Light magic. Veronica: Lightning, Fire, and Darkness magic. Courage: Lightning and Fire magic. Straw: Wind and Lightning magic. Nephilim: Light, Lightning, and Water magic.

The assortment of these magics was related to their mothers and Lawrend's magic. He was happy to see that they were able to inherit his main magics. That would make it easier for him to groom them as his descendants.

"Contrary to what you all expect, I will not teach simple magic. This magic is something forbidden by the Goddess. She tried to kill me for practicing this magic before, which makes it worth a try. That basically means this magic is too powerful for her to contain," Lawrend said.

His children silently listened to his words and absorbed them like sponges. They remembered Elena's words that Lawrend was the best mage out there. If he taught them something, it would be something no one had ever seen before.

"First, secure the area."

Lawrend glanced at his maids that were watching the show. They solemnly nodded their heads and dispersed. The castle staff who were sneakily watching were put away in the blink of an eye.

Lawrend waited for several more dozen seconds before he continued.

"Sit down and meditate. I will guide each of you along the way."

They promptly followed his words without questioning them. They meditated on the flat ground and closed their eyes.

"Sense your inner bodies. There are mana pathways within them. Since you're all mortals, it's very hard for all of you to sense them. But I will still give you all a chance. I will wait for a month. The ones to sense their mana pathways without using mana gets special treatment from me."

The bodies of his children trembled from excitement. The competitive drive within their bodies were ignited as they put in their all to sense this mana pathway Lawrend talked about.

"Mana pathways are the path where mana travels along as it circulates inside your body. Aleshia, watch over them. Elena, you can take a break," Lawrend said.

"Yes, Master," Aleshia responded and sat down in front of the eight.

"Thank you for your grace, Master," Elena replied.

She turned into a flash of golden lightning and disappeared. Elena had been waiting for a chance to relax. Taking care of eight children took a lot of toll on her mind and body. She basically didn't have the chance to practice her magic.

"Everyone, leave."

Lawrend's other maids that were watching promptly left. They wanted to watch, but it was obvious that it would take a long time.

After making sure that no one would disturb the eight, Lawrend left too. He headed to his room and practiced his magic. At this point, he was already a Grand Mage in his soul magic. 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m

Lawrend would have already become an Earth Mage in his soul magic if he didn't stop himself. The reason was that he felt like he was still missing something. His magic was not good enough for him to be satisfied.

Thus, Lawrend spent a lot of time creating spells for each of the elements. Many of them were combination spells. He never had the chance to use any of them as he was worried about leaving his empire vulnerable to the Goddess' attacks.

What was helpful was how Lawrend's mental simulations sufficed enough for him to tell if his spell would work or not. The more he became stronger in his soul magic, the stronger his soul became, and similarly, his intelligence increased.

A week quickly passed and Lawrend heard no news about his children. He silently improved his magic and refined them until he couldn't anymore. He wanted to jump levels when he became an Earth Mage in his soul magic. Just like how his physical body's magic currently was.

"Master, one of your children had succeeded."

Just as Lawrend was thinking about how to improve more, he heard a voice through the door. He stopped and stood up to open it.

"Who was it?" Lawrend asked.

"Fufufu. Follow me to find out, Master," Aezel replied.

As usual, she wore her cute maid uniform. Lawrend nodded his head, and they both turned into flashes of golden lightning.

They appeared in the training grounds and Lawrend immediately noticed that Veronica had her eyes opened already. The others still had their eyes closed and didn't even notice Lawrend's arrival.

"So that's why it was you who came to call for me," Lawrend said as he looked at Aezel in understanding.

"Fufufu. I'm a proud mother," Aezel responded with her voice oozing with pride.

Lawrend walked up to Veronica and looked down at her.

"Describe it to me in detail."

"Yes, Father."

Veronica nodded her head and pointed at the center of her chest and moved her finger along her skin. Lawrend confirmed it using his Elemental Eyes. The more she moved it, the wider a smile formed on his face. 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

"You got it correctly," Lawrend said.

"Thank you, Father~," Veronica smirked at him.

Just like her mother behind Lawrend, she oozed with pride. She couldn't help but glance at her half-siblings and grin victoriously.
