Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 649  Lily's Terror

Swoosh!

The demon was about to attack again when he waved his hand and launched a single Fire Arrow toward it.

Bang!

The next moment, the demon's eyes widened, but he wasn't able to do anything else as the Fire Arrow had pierced its forehead, instantly snuffing out its life.

Thud!

A moment later, its lifeless body fell down with a thud, creating a small cloud of dust.

Again, Max's vision shifted, but since he wasn't looking at the demon, he didn't see the small ball of whitish energy flow out of the demon and rush into his chest. While his bloodline started purifying this clump of energy too, the merging process of the already purified death energy was completed and a small clump grayish pink appeared in his dantian.

When he felt this energy, he got the same ethereal feeling the Nascent Energy usually gave him, but while the Nascent Energy was gentle and nurturing like a mother's warm embrace, this one seemed violent and destructive.

'Can this even be used to increase my cultivation?' He couldn't help but wonder even though he already knew it could.

He wanted to test it by guiding it into his mana core but the situation didn't allow him as more demons, stronger ones than the two before attacked him.

'This small amount won't do much anyway. So, I should just focus on gathering more.' He thought. Swoosh!

In the next second, his figure blurred and he appeared behind the group of five demons, all in the Four Star realm.

He instinctively wanted to take out the Thunder Sword to behead them, but paused, not wanting to take a risk with Alton and Wyomin present.

Although he couldn't be hundred percent sure since not everyone was the same, he was almost seventy to eighty percent sure that if they saw it, they wouldn't be able to keep their greed under control.

A Monarch Rank Artifact, after all, was something even most Monarch Magus would fight tooth and nail to possess, not to mention Emperor Magus like them.

Then he glanced at the five demons in front of him and noticed one of them, a female demon, had a short bone sword.

By the time he thought all this, the demons had already noticed him behind them. Turning around in a panic, they prepared to attack him when he flashed beside the female demon, grabbed her hand and made her stab his neck. Then, with a slight motion, he made her slice her neck off.

As embers of life vanished from the demon's eyes, leaving only a horrified look on her face, he snatched the bone sword from her hand and flashed to the side.

Boom!

Right as he did, several attacks landed on the place he was standing at, blasting the ground and the female demon's corpse into smithereens.

"Tsk! How heartless!" He clicked his tongue, looking at the remains of their companion. The next moment, his figure disappeared and appeared amidst them.

Shlick!

Before the demons could react, he had skewered one of their heads. Then, leaving the sword stuck in the demon's skull, he clenched his fists tightly, wrapped his fire elemental mana around it and punched the second demon's head, causing it to explode and blood and brain matter to splash around.

Of course, he made sure none of it touched him.

Then, as he took out the sword from the first demon's head, the remaining two shouted in the demon language, "RUN!!"

"Don't bother." Max uttered in their language, before chasing them down and killing them.

As the five demons' death energy entered his body, he rushed toward another group of three demons.

…

Boom!

Rumble!

Bang!

Ahhhh!

A cacophony of noises filled the battlefield.

Despite being outnumbered by eight to one, the demons were giving a tough fight. Still, because they had very few Five Star demons in their ranks, they were slowly being slaughtered.

Bang!

Max punched a large hole in an Early-Stage Five Star demon's chest–who he had been fighting for a few minutes to improve his fighting style and mana control–killing it.

Although he wanted to gather as much death energy as he could, he realized it was a great opportunity to train since the demon side was way weaker, something he was sure wouldn't rarely happen when they reached the soon to be the main battlefield.

Before locating another Five Star demon, he stopped for a moment and watched his companions for a while.

Pauline had proved Sera's words true. Even though she was just a Mid-Stage Four Star Mage, no Four Star demon was her match. Her black long sword was like a grim reaper's scythe, reaping the demons' lives left and right.

Not far away from her, Emily was also fighting ferociously. Utilizing her extraordinary speed to the full extent, she constantly flashed around, her silver sword beheading a demon every time.

Unlike them, Lily and Sera's situation was different.

Sera's lack of battle experience was showing as she was having a hard time fighting against two High-Stage Four Star demons despite being a peak Four Star Mage.

To Max's relief though, even though she was at a disadvantage, the demons weren't able to harm her in slightest thanks to her Superior Mana control and adept manipulation of water and earth elements.

As for Lily, her situation was probably the strangest in the entire battlefield. She was calmly standing in place, looking harmless, but no demon was approaching her.

Not only that, when she took initiative to approach them, they would run in the opposite direction, treating her like a terrifying plague which put a helpless expression on her face.

Smiling wryly, he rushed toward her. When Lily saw him, she smiled beautifully, "You alright, young master?'

"Yes, I'm fine. But it seems you are not." Max smiled.

Lily looked at the demons in the distance and sighed, "They are too scared of me and I don't want to chase them."

Max glanced around at the several dozen frozen demons, some of whom were in the Five Star realm, and said, "Why don't you try to clean this area? If they continue seeing all this, they would never dare come close to you."

Lily shook her head, "That would be waste of mana, young master."

He thought about cleaning the area for her, but he could not keep doing it. so he said, "Change location then. Those who haven't seen you kill these will come to you."

"But then I won't be able to stay near you." She pouted,

Max's gaze became gentle when he heard this. Loving flicking her nose, he chuckled, "It's alright. I said that because I was afraid you all might be in danger, but these demons aren't too strong. So, you'll be fine. Beside, I'll keep an eye on you in case some stronger Five Star demons surround you."

"Okay." Nodding, she hurried away, obviously excited to fight.

After observing Sera and others for a few seconds more, he nodded in satisfaction and then spread his bloodline sense.

He was worried his bloodline sense's range might not be enough, but he soon found Count Wiley fighting along the Dalton family's people.
