Combat Maid Harem

Chapter 850 Stealing Fire Laws From The Spirit World

As the embers lifted into the sky, they created a beautiful scenery of fiery colors. Faintly, one could see them form the outline of a strange beast.

Strangely, more fiery embers appeared out of nowhere. The space where the flames touched earlier started lighting up in flames.

"Stop it! This flame will burn this part of my world!" the avatar of the Spirit World screamed.

His thoughts spread across several kilometers.

"Relax."

Lawrend waved his hand, and a strange power emanated from his fingertips. It enveloped the space around the embers and flames, protecting them from any interference.

The avatar of the Spirit World was not impressed in the slightest. By the terms of the Soul Contract, Lawrend couldn't hurt him or the world, but that didn't apply to Ember.

Additionally, Lawrend wasn't trying to hurt him by protecting Ember. It was a loophole that even a former God like the Spirit World's avatar didn't think of.

The strange beast formed by the tiny flames and embers slowly melded together. It became clear that this beast was actually a phoenix. It had a fiery crown that emanated a blinding, golden light atop its head.

Lawrend's maids, except for Elena, couldn't help but cover their eyes. She smiled widely as she sensed a familiar aura in that phoenix.

As for Lawrend, he relaxed once he saw the process starting. It may have seemed that it was a given that Ember would revive, but there was still the chance that she would fail. After all, there were no more phoenixes in the world.

It was certainly possible to kill them.

This regal phoenix that formed from the flames coalesced into a fiery tornado. The figure was obscured, making it impossible to tell what was inside.

Lawrend frowned. This didn't seem like a good thing.

"She's going to fail," the avatar of the Spirit World spoke.

With the whole Spirit World as its body, it could sense the changes more clearly.

"Ember!" Lawrend screamed.

He didn't just speak but also spread his thoughts through space. In this way, she could hear him even if she was in a state where she couldn't hear sounds.

The fiery tornado fluctuated, and it once again started forming the regal phoenix's features. However, it wasn't enough, as it quickly showed signs of collapsing again.

"Young man, if she succeeds, the Spirit World will lose its Fire Laws!"

"...You... got me."

Lawrend smiled awkwardly. He lost his cool for a hot second there. He didn't know what to do if she changed and forgot about her love for him.

If that really happened, he wouldn't be able to fight back.

"I remember everything, including the history of the Phoenix bloodline."

"What do you mean?"

"The Goddess killed all Phoenixes and left the Ignis clan alive for an unknown reason."

"..."

Lawrend's smile quickly turned into a frown. This news gave him another reason to fight the Goddess.

"I saw how the Phoenixes' souls were torn apart and spread to enhance the Fire Laws of the Human World."

"I see..."

Lawrend couldn't imagine how painful it would be to have your soul torn apart. Nevertheless, he felt that he needed to do something about it now that he knew about this ancient history.

After all, Lawrend was also part of the Ignis clan as one of their descendants. He felt obligated to help them clear up their unfinished business, especially since it's major.

"Master, do you love me?" Ember asked.

This question made Lawrend freeze. He instantly forgot whatever thoughts he had in his head.

"Of course!"

He answered as fast as he could.

"Say it."

It was rare for Ember to be this demanding, but Lawrend knew that this was a critical moment for him and her.

"I love you, Ember Ignis—no, Ember Phoenix, I love you!"

Lawrend felt no shame as he shouted his answer. He had already forgotten that his thoughts reached the whole of the Spirit World.
