Combat Maid Harem - Chapter 809: Forcing A Surrender

Ember, while in her phoenix form, closed her beak and the fire mana in the surroundings froze. It became silent as all the sounds from the battles ongoing around them seemed to be locked out from this spot.

Then…

A sun. Another sun appeared out of nowhere. When seen from a distance away, it was as if another sun was rising over the horizon.

All of the light in the area was washed out. If it weren’t for the darkness fog that Lalatina created, everyone would have been blinded by it.

A beam that was just about a foot wide, shot out of Ember’s beak and hit Olina’s slime-like body. There was no sound, but Olina’s slime body visibly disintegrated. The Phoenix Bloodline was the perfect counter for Olina’s Spring Bloodline.

Olina’s survival instincts erupted in a millisecond. She forcefully exploded her slime-like body. This allowed bits and pieces of her to escape Ember’s beam.

…

At this moment, Krives surrendered to Lawrend. She gave up. The thought of fighting against him, who was capable of keeping up with so many Heaven Demons, was like asking for trouble.

She didn’t want to admit it, but their only choice right now was to listen to his words. Becoming his enemy would be their end.

Someone like him was an anomaly. They were only able to witness a fraction of what he was capable of.

Until they could defend against space magic, they would always lose against him.

“Hahahaha. Are you sure?” Lawrend asked teasingly.

The look of shame and humiliation on Krives’ face was something to be remembered. She was as red as a tomato and bit her lips while slightly shaking.

Anyone could tell that she wasn’t happy about what she just said.

Anatalia, Majia, Constantine, Precipity, Olina, Lalatina, Sanaka, and Terrisia, all of them couldn’t believe Krives. She wasn’t their leader, but at this moment, she represented all of them.

Lalatina only paused for a moment before focusing on Juju again. Juju just possessed the body of her Undead Fallen Angel Mage. It was unknown what Juju would do next.

It was Lalatina’s first time seeing someone’s soul jump out of their body and possess another being. She didn’t know what to do, or what would happen.

But as the controller and summoner of the Undead Fallen Angel Mage, she could feel her control of it waning. Something was struggling inside and assimilating with its body.

Lalatina furiously waved her flag. A lot of darkness mana left her body and flooded the Undead Fallen Angel. This slowed down Juju’s possession and had the added effect of eroding her soul.

Juju experienced pain continuously. Her scream within her soul could kill anyone if they heard it. Fortunately, it was kept inside the skeleton’s body.

Sanaka and Terrisia halted their battle against Elena. The darkness fog dissipated into nothing and it revealed the horrible abyssal monster.

Elena floated there like a god in her golden dragon form. Likewise, she also stopped and waited for Lawrend’s orders.

Lawrend knew that everything was in his control after Krives said ’Stop!’. That voice of hers was filled with panic and urgency.

“…We surrender. The Demon World can’t lose anymore Heaven Demons,” Krives said with gritted teeth.

She hated the fact that she was lowering her head to a human from the Ignis Clan. The others were bothered by their surrender.

They hesitated and looked at each other. Technically, they didn’t have to abide by Krives’ words.

“I can’t believe this…” Terrisia muttered.

It was hard to stomach it. They had lost so many but still couldn’t defeat the foreign invaders and the betrayer.

“I will be lenient. Surrender and sign a soul contract of non-aggression with me. I will cooperate and bring the Demon World to new heights. I’m also against the invasion of the angels to the Demon World,” Lawrend explained.

He looked around and gazed into the eyes of the Heaven Demons one by one. Their eyes were filled with unwillingness and overflowing pride.

It wouldn’t be that simple to convince them to surrender.

The whole area froze into silence except for Lalatina’s undead summon.

“Krives, tell us your thoughts,” Terrisia solemnly said.

She trusted Krives’ judgment a bit. If she thought they should surrender, there must be a reason she thought that way.

“Even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. Meaning, we will still be the loser if we win against this man and his group. What the Demon World needs right now is someone that can protect it,” Krives said, albeit the tone of unwillingness was very obvious within her words.

“…”

Terrisia and the others looked at each other. Krives’ thought it well. They agreed with her judgment. A lot of them immediately nodded their heads and calmed down. They lowered their arms and stopped being on guard.

Sanaka waved her hand and the abyssal monster she summoned easily dissipated into a thick black fog.

“Master, should I?” Elena asked.

She kept her dragon form and was still ready to go and attack them. When Sanaka heard the tone of her voice, she grew worried.

What if Elena decided to attack at this moment? They would definitely suffer.

“Stand down. Juju, if you need my help, I can help you,” Lawrend said.

He could tell that Juju was struggling to possess that undead skeleton. Possession was a delicate art. It was a last resort for souls to use in order to avoid dissipating and dying forever.

The fact that Juju was brave enough to attempt that while in her prime was proof that she was a great darkness mage. She was willing to take risks to learn more from her soul magic.

The boundary between courage and stupidity was paper thin. Depending on the results, she would be in either of them.

“…”

There was no response. Juju’s body was down on the ground below while the skeleton was still frozen in place with Juju’s soul inside. n).O1In

“Woman, stop torturing her,” Lawrend said to Lalatina.

“Hmph.”

Lalatina immediately stopped once Lawrend reprimanded her. She would have kept doing it if he didn’t.
