Combat Maid Harem - Chapter 822: Taking Away Lawrend’s Magic
The sudden turn of events shocked even Lawrend. He didn’t expect that his random thought to combine all of his divine magics together would result in powerful magic.
“What magic is that?” West asked in a deep voice that was filled with confusion.
He thought that he had seen it all. He had experienced the wrath of the Goddess and survived it. He had lived for such a long time.
He would occasionally leave his cave and travel the Demon World. So it was not weird that he had experienced a lot of things throughout his long life. n–In
The magic Lawrend just used was new. It was not similar to the magic the Goddess used on him back then. That was why West was confused.
For Lawrend to use something so powerful and so exotic, it didn’t make any sort of sense.
Lawrend opened his mouth to answer, but before he could say anything, West raised his hand and stopped him.
“Before that, who are you?” West asked and squinted his eyes.
He was suspicious of Lawrend’s identity. There should be no being in the Human and Demon worlds that could do what Lawrend did. It was foreign.
“I’m Lawrend Ignis, and I’m here to slay you,” Lawrend replied and raised his chin.
He regained his confidence now that he saw the effects of his combined divine magics. He felt like he got the chance to defeat West now.
“No. Who ARE you??” West asked again.
Anger appeared on his face. He couldn’t believe that someone from outside the Human and Demon worlds appeared. He shouldn’t be here in the first place.
“I… It doesn’t matter. The past is the past. All I want is to complete Valentina’s wish,” Lawrend replied as he shut his mouth.
He didn’t want to run his mouth and reveal the truth that he wasn’t from this world. Well, at least, his memories weren’t from this world.
“You are not from this world, nor were you from the other one. I have the duty to kill you or you will ruin my plans.”
West’s face became grimmer. He thought that it was just an idiot trying to challenge him. He didn’t expect that he was an Otherworlder.
He needed to kill him or he would lose the chance to kill the Goddess in the future.
“Heh. A battle to the death then,” Lawrend chuckled.
He was very confident in himself. He closed his eyes and the image of the Lightning Sprite appeared in his mind. It was the spell that came after Shock Arc.
He flicked his finger and the purple combined divine magic shot forward. It split into two, then four, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and so on. It became countless in a short moment.
These bolts of lightning each contained the same power as a single Shock Arc spell. West felt his stomach churn as the hairs on his body stood on end. He was scared for his life.
“Crazy!”
West clasped his two hands together forcefully. The air around him rippled and the lightning bolts shattered one by one. Though, that didn’t work as well as West could’ve hoped for.
Several thread-like remnants continued onward and struck various parts of West’s body. He shivered and the surface of his skin exploded as his Divine body resisted the invasion of the combined divine magic.
He was thrown over and flipped multiple times in the air. He regained stability and stared at Lawrend in disbelief.
For him to be able to cast that spell without any problem, he was a prodigy! His mastery of magic was even beyond him! Only the Goddess could compare!
“Are you her subordinate!?” West screamed in denial.
He didn’t believe that someone was more talented than him. He had done everything to reach this level. He couldn’t take it that Lawrend could fight him at the same level.
“Technically, yes,” Lawrend replied.
He closed his eyes again and readied himself to cast the next stronger version of his lightning spell. In actuality, he wasn’t casting lightning spells.
It was because of the unique property of the combined divine magics. It was capable of emulating and acting like any of the magic that made it up.
For example, it could also be cast like a plant spell. It was very flexible in usage. The only downside was that it was tough to control.
“That bitch! She’s lucky I can’t become a God!” West shouted in anger.
He bit his lips and drops of blood poured down his mouth. He immediately turned pale. These droplets of blood congealed together into a small ball.
When observed closely, one would notice that this ball looked like a small planet. In fact, it was an exact copy of the demon world.
“By my authority as the controller of this world, I order to retract Lawrend Ignis’ permission to use magic!” West declared.
His voice was low, but it penetrated time and space. Every place, no matter how hidden, or how high it was, could hear his voice.
The demons panicked and the Heaven Demons gathered together to discuss what was going on. It was more problematic especially after they heard West mention Lawrend’s name.
“Hahahahahaha!”
The recipient, Lawrend, laughed at the top of his lungs. It was so, so funny. He didn’t expect that West would try to take away his magic.
His theory was right that the world could take away his magic at any time. If the Goddess declared that in the human world, she could easily make him powerless.
But Lawrend was a Heaven Mage in his soul body. His Physical Body was as good as useless right now.
And with his soul containing his magic, it was something created by the universe. The demon world had no authority to take away the magic it contained.
“YES! HAHAHAHA!” West laughed as streams of golden, red, and black manas left Lawrend’s body.
He found it funny that he was worried about Lawrend when he could’ve done this from the start.
