Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 683  Stay As Far As Possible

Swoosh!

The finger whistled through the air and struck the black meteor. BOOM!

Under Martha and others' shocked gaze, the meteor and the finger exploded upon collision, sending fierce shockwaves in the surroundings, but since the explosion happened in the sky, they didn't cause as much damage as they could. Still, a few Three Star mages lost their lives.

In the distance, the king demons noticed this. When they traced the origin of the finger, their pupils constricted, and surprise and killing intent flickered in their eyes.

Just when they wanted to target Max…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

…Several figures radiating king rank aura flew over from the distance and rushed toward them.

Martha heaved a sigh of relief when she saw them. If they had been even a few seconds late, she knew Max would've died in the hands of demon kings.

While she and other Five Star mages in her group knew Max had just avoided sure death, others sighed in relief and looked over at Max—who was staring at the demon kings in the sky with a grave look on his face—with gratitude in their eyes. If it hadn't been for him, they would've died just now.

Seeing the human kings would keep them busy for a while, he turned around and glanced at Lily and Sera. While Lily looked normal, Sera had a dazed look in her eyes, and her body was jerking, her legs trembling.

Seeing her state, he sighed, 'Maybe I should've stopped.'

Walking over to Sera, he gently cupped her face, and looking into her eyes, he asked, "Can you handle yourself, or do you need a little rest?"

Sera closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Then, she controlled her water elemental mana and circulated it throughout her body. Though she didn't have a rejuvenation spell, the inherent nature of water mana helped her recover.

A few moments later, she stopped trembling, and a fresh look appeared on her face as she opened her eyes and firmly nodded, "I can fight. Don't worry about me, my lord."

Max stared at her for a moment before nodding. "Okay."

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Emily, Pauline, Martha, and others came over.

"What are we going to do now?" Pauline nervously asked.

"What can we do other than trying our best to survive and hoping the emperors finish setting up the War Temple before we die?"

Even though they were aware of the severity of their situation, his words heightened their tension. The weaker Fullers and Williams almost fell into the abyss of despair.

However, his next words rekindled a ray of hope in their hearts.

"However, there is something you can do to improve your chances of survival."

"What is it?" Pauline hurriedly asked.

Max grinned at her, "Stay as far away from me as you can."

"..."

Pauline blanked when she heard this, while Martha sighed and Emily, Lily, and Sera furrowed their brows in concern.

Martha hesitated for a moment before saying, "Since the demon kings have also joined the battle, I can't guarantee it, but I'll try my best to keep your companions safe… If you want me to, of course."

"Thank you, but you don't need to worry about us." Before Max had a chance to respond, Emily looked directly at him and said, "I am not leaving your side, and I'm sure they will not either."

Though her strong stance warmed his heart, it also made him worry. Then, as he glanced at Lily and Sera, he noticed that they both had the same determined looks in their eyes.

He rubbed his temple in frustration before sternly saying, "This is not the time to be stubborn about it. If you stay with me, all of us would most certainly die. But if you stay away from me, not only will you be safe since the stronger demons won't target you, but I also will have a higher chance of survival as I won't need to worry about you."

Max knew his words were harsh and must have hurt them, but he had no choice but to tell them that at the moment.

Swoosh!

Martha abruptly vanished and materialized in front of a mid-stage Five Star demon, who was conjuring a spell from a distance to attack them.

With a thrust of her spear, she skewered its head, killing him.

However, she could see more and more demons were coming in their direction. So, she shouted, "I hate to say this, but he is right. If you stay with him, all of you will certainly die."

Saying this, she shouted, "Come, we are moving elsewhere. Those who want to fight alongside me, the princess of the Green Leaf, follow me."

Immediately, all the people from the Williams family and others in the vicinity followed after her as they moved away.

Heena and the rough-looking man glanced at Max's group, shook their heads with pity before following Martha.

They were among the ones who Max had saved by destroying that demon king's attack, so they were grateful to him. So, knowing he would most likely die in this battle, they couldn't help but feel bad for him.

The human beings were indeed strange. At times, they would be selfish and apathetic beyond measure, but at different times, they would be completely different. Just like now, given the fact that Heena didn't have an arm and the rough-looking man was also supporting internal injuries, which basically guaranteed their deaths, they still had the heart to feel bad for Max.

On the demons' side, Ashroth was staring at the ongoing fight with a heavy frown on his face.

Just when he had planned to sneak out of the demon city to meet Max, the demon emperors gathered every demon, including the demon kings, to launch an all-out attack on the humans.

Even so, he had thought to find a chance to meet him in confusion, but Max went ahead and attracted everyone's attention with his flashy show.

'This guy, he is really tired of living.' He gritted his teeth. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If Max hadn't become so strong, he wouldn't have minded it much because he wouldn't have been of much use to his tribe. But with his current strength and potential, he had become an important person to his tribe.

'Maybe I should stop being so cautious and go meet him.' Just when he thought this, his pupils constricted as he looked in Max's direction.

"Fuck!"
