Combat Maid Harem

658 Veronica's Oddity

Lawrend crouched a little bit and patted Veronica on the head. He had a proud smile on his face, causing her to blush a little bit. It was hard for her to get her father's recognition, so getting one was worth a lot to her.

"Do I get a reward~?" Veronica asked.

"Mm. When everyone finishes, I will give you a reward," Lawrend replied.

"Ehhhh? I still have to wait for them?"

Veronica glanced at her half-siblings with a frown. She was too impatient to get Lawrend's reward. She still couldn't control her emotions that well.

"Fine. Take this and memorize it."

Lawrend threw her a small booklet. He had written it prior. It contained an explanation as to how to imprint her physical body's mana pathways onto her soul.

"Thank you~ I love you, Father!"

Veronica stood up and kissed Lawrend on the cheek. She then ran away from him and faced the opposite way before sitting down to read the booklet.

"Were you like that when you were young?" Lawrend asked Aezel as he straightened his back.

"Fufufu. You will never know, Master," Aezel replied with a faintly pink blush.

"I will ask your little brother in the future."

"Wah! If he tells you, I will skin him alive!" Aezel panicked.

"Hahaha! I will protect him."

"..."

Aezel had nothing to say hearing his response. She prayed that her little brother wouldn't be so stupid as to reveal her past to her Master. Otherwise, she would be embarrassed every time she saw Lawrend.

While the two were flirting, someone from the group of seven children started trembling. A faint light glow appeared around her body, and she looked like a holy saint.

"Hm? Nephilim too?"

Nephilim's eyelids trembled, and she opened her eyes. Her eyes seemed to glow white as she stared straight. She slowly regained her bearings and looked over at Lawrend.

"Did I overdo it?" Nephilim asked with a confused expression on her face.

Lawrend stared at her with his elemental eyes. He saw white-colored mana flow through her body like a tiny stream of water. In other words, she became a Beginner Mage.

"You can still reverse that. Nonetheless, I saw everything. You passed."

Lawrend smiled at her. The moment Nephilim realized where her mana pathways were, her bloodline instinctively activated and released the innate light mana she had. This resulted in her becoming a Beginner Mage without using any spells.

"Thank you, My God." Nephilim humbly bowed.

She looked around and stared in surprise at Veronica, who was looking back at her with slight disdain in her eyes. She didn't expect that someone succeeded before her.

After looking for a bit, Veronica looked away from her. She continued reading through the booklet Lawrend gave her.

"I didn't expect her to be able to read," Lawrend said as he realized that Veronica stared at the contents of the booklet with great attention to detail.

"She shouldn't be. Out of the eight, she's the only one able to do so, Master," Aezel replied. She had a concerned look on her face.

"Nephilim, you did a good job."

Lawrend stood up and patted Nephilim on the head just like he did to Veronica. Nephilim accepted it like a pet and closed her eyes. Even though the emotion on her face was faint, Lawrend could tell that she enjoyed it.

"Let your Big Sister Veronica read the booklet for you," Lawrend said.

"Yes, God." Nephilim nodded her head and stood up.

"Hmm… I wonder if that soul we used for Veronica wasn't fully transformed into a new one?" Lawrend said with a frown.

That other him was a problem when he was alive. He tried to take control of Lawrend's body. If he somehow reincarnated as his daughter, he would be out of options as to how to deal with him.

"Don't worry, Master. The demon race never had any instances of anyone remembering their past life," Aezel replied to reassure him.

"I hope you're right." Lawrend nodded his head.

Lawrend decided to pay more attention to Veronica. He initially gave her the booklet to satiate her desire for a reward. There were many illustrations on it that should entertain her. He didn't expect she would actually read it.

Days passed quickly. Lawrend spent the time observing his children. He would occasionally improve his soul magic when he got too bored.

"Your Divinity, Truf wanted to learn more," Humility said.

She arrived wearing her Papal Dress. She didn't admit to being the Pope yet, but she might as well be one. She looked very pure and graceful in her current appearance. No one would be able to guess that she was a freak in bed.

Truf followed behind Humility. He was already a big kid. He peeked at Lawrend's children and furrowed his eyebrows. During these two years, Truf had become more mature.

He still had the same goal of killing Lawrend. He kept a basic distance from Lawrend and didn't let himself get attached to him.

"What is it?" Lawrend asked.

"Master, you still haven't taught me how to combine my four elements," Truf said.

"The four elements, huh… Is this what you're looking for?"

Lawrend casually lifted his hand up and the elemental manas of Fire, Wind, Water, and Earth swirled around each other from his palms. They didn't interact with each other and danced in a mesmerizing way as they avoided coming into contact with each other.

Lawrend pointed his palm in a certain direction and closed his hand. The four elements clashed together and they mixed in a complex way. Truf watched it all happen with wide eyes. He tried to not miss any of the changes that happened.

A bright flame appeared and the wind mana swirled around it, protecting it. Then water droplets came from the surroundings and created a ball of water behind it. The earth mana created a thick shell that covered the two.

In other words, Lawrend created a steam explosion missile.
