Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 648 Demon Attack

However, when he heard Emily's next words, he sighed in relief.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been angry at you… for no reason at all." Emily said, her indifferent voice had a touch of emotion that he couldn't understand.

"Everything's good as long as you are no longer angry." Max smiled,

Emily took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and nodded, "Yeah, no longer."

"That's good."

Lily and Sera exchanged a look before both smiled in relief. Unlike them, however, Pauline looked at Emily and clicked her tongue, "Tsk! Girl, you are too forgiving. If he was my man and was picking women here and there, I would've clipped his balls."

As she said this, she made a cutting motion with her fingers.

Upon hearing her words and seeing her dangerous gesture, Max felt a chill run down his spine and subconsciously clenched his legs while Emily's good mood vanished.

Suddenly,

Swoosh!

Her mana flared and she vanished from the place. Almost at the same time, Max's expression changed and his gaze snapped toward the distance when Wyomin's voice sounded.

"Enemy attack!"

Bang!

Emily appeared behind Pauline and slapped a sharp shard of black Ice barrelling toward the back of Pauline's head into pieces.

Whoosh!

When Pauline saw Emily vanish, her face fell and she regretted running her mouth, thinking she was going to attack her. But then she heard Wyomin's warning and the shattering sound behind her. It didn't take her long to understand what had happened, and the realization made her break out in cold sweat. Jumping to her feet, she looked at Emily with gratitude, her heart palpitating in fear.

"Thank you." She sincerely said,

Emily turned around, looked at her with a serious look on her face and shook her head, "There is no need. I just fulfilled my promise."

"What do you–" Pauline did not understand what she meant for a moment before she recalled the words she had said when she asked for more Stamina Recovery spirit fruits.

She wanted to say something, but Emily was no longer paying her any attention, her gaze was focused on around a thousand black-skinned, one-horned demons that had suddenly appeared and were attacking everyone.

Swoosh!

The High-Stage Five Star Mage and Fuller family's other magus arrived and surrounded Pauline in a protective shield.

"You are alright, young miss?" Pauline took a deep breath, her expression turning serious as she nodded, "Yes, I'm alright."

She then looked in the incoming demons' direction, and said, "Although they are not as numerous as us, they still pose a very high risk. So, when you fight, don't worry about me and just focus on protecting yourselves."

As soon as she finished speaking, a greenish red, full body armor appeared on her body and a two meters long, black sword appeared in her hand.

"I'll be heading out first. Remember to take care of yourselves. I expect to see you all alive when we finish dealing with this group."

Whoosh!

Saying this, she dashed out of their encirclement. When she started running, her speed was equal to a peak Three Star Mage, but by the time she reached the demons, her speed had exceeded the normal speed of a High-Stage Four Star Mage.

Boom!

When she stopped, her sword was piercing through a Peak Four Star demon's head while several Three Star demons on her way had their heads severed.

His display had thoroughly taken aback Max, Emily and Lily, who had surprised looks plastered on their faces, clearly not expecting her to be this strong when she had such poor reaction speed that she was unable to defend herself against Emily three days ago and even just now, she was entirely clueless until Emily had saved her from the sudden attack.

"You've heard what the young miss said. Focus on protecting yourselves." The High-Stage Five Star mage shouted, "Let's go and earn some War Merits!"

"Yes!!!"

The others shouted and rushed after him, toward the demons.

Their action surprised Max's trio even more, especially because they weren't heading in Pauline's direction.

"Are they really not going to protect her?" Emily raised her brows.

Beside them, Sera–seeing their surprised and confused looks–smiled and as she watched Pauline fighting like a valkyrie, said,

"You guys don't know, but Young Miss Pauline is infamous for being extremely clumsy and careless. It's extreme to the point where she had almost been assassinated several times by people weaker than her."

She felt Emily's gaze on her when she said the last part but she ignored it and continued.

"However… When she enters her fighting mode, almost no one beneath Five Star is her match. Not only that, she is even able to fight against Early-Stage and sometimes even Mid-Stage Five Star magus for a while."

"Apart from this, the other reason why they are ignoring her like she asked is because she doesn't like having her orders disobeyed. Those who disobey her… she stops treating them like her people."

Hearing this, Emily muttered, "She is too… willful. If she doesn't change, she will die sooner or later."

Sera didn't respond, apparently agreeing with her.

Emily then glanced at Max, "Let's go. We should also earn some Merits."

Max's eyes shone, and excitement was bubbling in his heart. He will not just earn War Merits, he would also gain the much needed Kill Points, or Death Energy.

However, controlling his excitement, he seriously said, "Okay. But be extremely careful and try to stay near me, alright?"

"Yes," Lily and Sera meekly said while Emily just nodded before dashing away… in Pauline's direction.

Sera watched her rush away and muttered, "It seems she isn't angry with the young miss either."

Lily smiled, "Despite how coldly and indifferently she acts, she is very kind hearted. Since Miss Pauline has helped us quite a lot and she has no ill intention in her heart whenever she says something unsavory, she must have already forgiven her."

"Alright. We should also go now." Sera said before they also rushed out.

When Max was about to follow them, he paused and glanced in Wyomin and Alton's directions. When he saw they were calmly observing everything, with no sign of worry on their faces, he sighed in relief and rushed away.

Swoosh!

A moment later, he appeared in front of a Peak Three Star Demon.

When the demon saw him, terror appeared on his face. However, then he gritted his teeth and tried to cast his demonic spell.

Max, however, didn't give him any chance, and pushed his head, shattering his skull. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Zoom!

Right as the demon died, he felt his bloodline, which now had a hint of inky dark color, stir and his vision turned black and white. Then, as he watched, a small ball of whitish dark energy flew out of the demon's body, rushed toward him as if attracted by a greater force and drilled into his chest, into his heart before getting absorbed by his bloodline.

A moment later, it was refined and purified, which reduced its quantity even more. Then, it merged with the double the amount of his bloodline energy.

All this happened within his bloodline and he was unable to affect the process, at least not yet.

Swoosh!

Max dodged an attack aimed at his back by sidestepping, most of his attention still focused on the process within his bloodline.
