Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 669  What Gave You the Courage?

A few moments ago...

After watching two of their comrades die one after another, unable to resist in the slightest, the remaining thirteen demons felt fear and became hesitant to attack him.

Seeing this, Max nodded in satisfaction.

This was the effect he wanted.

As long as they were wary of him, they would not dare team up and attack him. And as long as they didn't team up, he would have no problem dealing with them.

Tightening his grip on the Thunder Sword, he once again, carefully, channeled the Death Energy into his mana veins.

Although he was already using the Nascent Energy to protect them, he couldn't afford to be reckless because after using it two times in such a short time, he realized even though both energies seemed to be on a somewhat similar tier, Death Energy could corrode the Nascent Energy to a certain extent if he used a lower amount of the latter and damage his mana pathways.

Since he didn't want that to happen again, he had no choice but to be careful.

Fortunately, his intimidation had worked, and he could afford to spend a few extra moments.

Just then…

Thump!

His heart skipped a beat, and his hair stood on end as a sensation of sure death washed over him. It was as if some powerful predator had locked onto him.

His bloodline sense flared as he tried to locate the source of this feeling but found nothing.

Before he could do anything...

BOOM!!

The area within several meters with him as the epicenter exploded, obliterating everything—earth, mana, and even the air particles.

Right at this moment, Alton's furious roar rang out.

"HOW DARE YOU!!"

He tried to rush down, but the demon emperor appeared in front of him, wanting to stop him.

"Scram!"

He shouted, his pupils turning yellow.

Immediately, the demon emperor froze.

By the time he recovered, Alton had disappeared and appeared right above the place Max was standing.

Swoosh!

With a wave of his hand, he cleared the cloud of dust and smog and saw Max lying in the pool of his blood, completely unrecognizable with his flesh corroded and gruesome wounds all over.

…

The loud explosion followed by Alton's furious roar immediately silenced the entire battlefield.

While everyone was wondering what had happened that made him this angry and prompted him personally to take action, Lily and Sera felt their hearts drop, suddenly feeling extremely uneasy.

Like them, Emily also felt uneasy.

Then,

Swoosh!

The trio rushed in the direction where the explosion had occurred, or tried to.

Armand and the other three appeared in front of them, stopping them.

"Stay here. That place isn't safe." The woman said,

"Move!"

The trio shouted and immediately attacked. Right now, they wanted nothing more than to see Max, and anyone who tried to stop them from doing so was their enemy.

Armand frowned in annoyance and released his aura field.

…

After she recovered from her shock of watching Max kill two demons, she rushed toward him to help him deal with the rest when the explosion occurred without any warning.

BOOM!

It was all too sudden for her to react. So, the resulting shockwaves hit her.

Crack!

Immediately, her golden armor, which even peak Five Star demons weren't able to damage in the slightest, cracked.

Her bones fractured and internal organs rattled badly, causing her to throw up a mouthful of blood as she was lifted off her feet and was sent flying hundreds of meters back.

The thirteen peak Five Star demons fared worse, but none of them died unlike the weaker demons and mages in the vicinity.

Even as Martha uncontrollably flew away and pain shot through her body, her gaze was focused on the cloud of dust and smog.

Seeing her divine senses couldn't scan the area because of the lingering demonic energy and seeing how Alton had become furious, she knew a very powerful demon had acted against Max. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

'He died? Just like that?' She didn't know him well enough to feel sad for him, but this thought gave her an inexplicable sense of melancholy.

By the time she landed on the ground, Alton had appeared above the crater and cleared the cloud of dust.

…

'This kid…'

Alton looked at unconscious Max in surprise after he scanned his body with his divine sense just now; he realized even though his condition was severe, he was still alive.

Swoosh!

Right then, a beam of purplish black light shot toward Max from the distance. Apparently, the attacker had also realized he was still alive, so they wanted to finish him.

"Impudent!"

Alton snarled and slapped at the beam of light, dispersing it. Swoosh!

Right then, the demon emperor chasing after him caught up and shouted.

"How dare you break the rules and interfere!" Saying this, he immediately attacked.

Alton's gaze flickered with mockery.

Then, seemingly ignoring him, he looked up in the sky and saw Wyomin trying to rush down, but the demon empress Qumo was stopping her.

After that, he looked in the distance, in the direction where the beam of light had come from. Then he returned his gaze to the demon attacking him and calmly questioned.

"You guys no longer want to play by the rules, huh? I wonder what gave you the courage."

Despite the fact the demon was just a few meters away from him—a negligible distance even for lower realm mages, let alone emperors—he still wore a calm look and didn't show any sign of fighting back.

The look in the demon emperor's eyes became graver when he saw this.

"Aren't you worried your superiors would punish you for it? Or... could it be that they also no longer want to abide by the rules? Hm, if that's the case, all this makes sense." Alton wondered.

Swoosh!

"Die you arrogant bastard!" The demon emperor bellowed when he was just a meter away from him and punched toward Alton's chest.

Boom!

The moment his hand moved, a loud boom echoed as mana and air in the surroundings seemingly exploded.
