Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 696 Grasping Angels Like Chickens

Aezel opened her dark wings. A flutter of black feathers scattered in the air as she did so. A black halo appeared over her head, and she emitted a dark miasma of darkness mana.

Elena's eyes glowed a golden light as her body crackled with sparks of lightning.

Similar to Aezel, Ember also spread her wings out. She exuded blazing heat that distorted the air around her. A faint image of a phoenix was behind her back.

"Heretic, how dare you!" Lucida shouted in anger.

"Come down here if you dare!" Lawrend taunted.

He was certain that he would be able to defeat the two of them with Aezel, Elena, and Ember helping him. It was a four-versus-two situation. They may be Earth Mage angels, but the gap in strength wasn't that simple.

Especially since Lawrend had power almost beyond an Earth Mage. His strength was only slightly below that of a Heaven Mage. If Lucida didn't use the Heaven's Cage spell, Lawrend was confident that he could've defeated the two of them as easily as killing two chickens.

"Master, we three can distract one of them. You can then take out the other one," Aezel whispered.

Elena and Ember nodded their heads together. They subtly glanced at the two angels above and constricted their pupils.

"Sounds like a plan. Go!"

Lawrend's body flashed with rainbow light as he used all of his elements to fly back up. He flapped his phoenix wings, and he reached halfway between himself and the angels in a split second.

"Light Flash!"

Aljea raised her hand, and an eye-searing light came from the tip of her fingers. She looked like a Goddess blessing the land below her. Lawrend closed his eyes as soon as he saw it start up.

But unlike what Lawrend expected, the light penetrated his eyelids and blinded his eyes.

Aezel, Elena, and Ember were affected the same.

"Master!" the three of them shouted together.

Having their vision taken away was similar to reaching their necks out for the angels to slice them off.

"Hah!" Lawrend sneered.

He opened his eyes, and his elemental eyes gave him the vision he lacked. He was able to see the flow of mana and the great abundance of light mana contained within the two angels' bodies.

Lucida flew as silent as an owl and swooped down at Lawrend. Her speed turned supersonic. She appeared before him and tried to grab his neck.

"Ahhh!" Lucida screamed.

Lawrend suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed her neck instead. She widened her eyes and froze in shock. She became paralyzed because it happened so fast that she wasn't able to react to it.

"Master!"

Aezel was the first to recover her vision. She panicked when she saw Lucida close to Lawrend. She wasn't able to clearly see that he was the one holding the angel's neck.

"Release her!" Aljea shouted.

A white cube was in her hand and she was ready to throw it at Lawrend.

"What is that?" Lawrend asked and squinted his eyes.

"Let me go!" Lucida struggled.

Alas, Lawrend's grip was like a hawk's. She might have flown in like an owl, but he was the hawk that baited her to attack.

Without the ability to use her arms, Lucida turned to her legs. She swung it in an arc.

"Guh!"

Lawrend constricted Lucida's throat harder. She immediately canceled her kick and became obedient. The eyes she used to look at him were replaced with fear.

"I said, Let her go! This is an annihilation cube! It contains the light of genesis! If you're not going to free her, it will be worth it to kill you with her!" Aljea threatened.

She looked at him with a freezing gaze. Her face was beautiful, and her current expression made her have a desirable charm.

"You will die before you throw that thing," Lawrend replied with a murderous gaze in his eyes.

She might be beautiful, but Lawrend was immune to that. He already had Ember, who was several times more beautiful than her.

"Do you dare!?" Aljea shouted.

Her voice reached the imperial capital below. Many who were unaware of the attack by two angels looked up in curiosity.

"Space is an illusion..." Lawrend whispered.

The Lawrend that was below Aljea faded. She felt something behind her, but it was already too late.

Lawrend grabbed the back of her neck. She wasn't able to resist as she looked behind her in shock.

"You underestimated me," Lawrend said.

Lawrend decided to end this quickly the moment she threatened to kill him. He wouldn't try to improve his battle experience anymore.

A powerful determination filled Aljea's body, and she attempted to throw the annihilation cube behind her. She knew that she would die because of the close proximity. As an angel, she was prepared for death for the Goddess.

"You are too close to me. Do you really think the space around you is still normal?" Lawrend sneered.

Aljea moved her arm, but it wasn't moving. She could feel that her arm was moving. The space moved in accordance with her movement and returned her arm to the same spot.

"What heretic magic is this!??" Aljea screamed.

"Space magic. Unless you're prepared for it, it's death for you," Lawrend replied.

"H-How do you have that magic? I heard a legend about it, but it should be impossible for anyone to wield!" Aljea shouted.

She was in denial. Space magic was said to be the most powerful magic because of its elusiveness. Only a space mage could defend against another space mage. It was that dreadful.

"Aljea, stop resisting... H-He's absorbing my light mana..." Lucida whispered in a defeated voice.

"WHAT!?"

It was only then that Aljea realized that Lawrend was sucking her light mana out of her neck.

"I will give each of you a chance. I won't kill you if you tell me why the Goddess ordered the two of you to execute me."

Lawrend still had uses for the two of them, so he didn't kill them yet. He first wanted to know why the Goddess betrayed him. Even though he planned to break free from the soul contract, she shouldn't be aware of that yet.
