Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 656  Third Princess?

When Wyomin, noticing the sudden change in the demoness' emotions, followed her gaze and saw Max, her eyes widened in surprise… then her lips curled up in a smile.

Swoosh!

Suddenly noticing something, she appeared in front of the demoness, her aura pressing down upon her and a long whip appearing in her hand.

"If you are ready to fight me to the death, try moving." She said, a murderous chill in her voice.

"Ha!"

The demoness scoffed but stayed in place. The same happened on Alton's side. The demon keeping watch over him was stronger than the demoness, but Alton managed to keep him from taking action.

…

On the ground…

The short demon had just started absorbing O'Mara's blood essence when the putrid smog stopped coming off Max's body and the blackness rapidly receded.

Ha!

He stopped twitching. His eyes snapped open as he took a deep breath and sat up.

Then he looked around and saw the short demon with his hand in O'mara's chest, his eyes closed.

He didn't rush to take advantage of the situation but closed his eyes instead and scanned his body with his bloodline sense.

He found nothing wrong anywhere, but when he looked into his heart, he saw the small glob of black blood surrounded by his bloodline energy.

'What's this blood?' He wondered. Though he didn't know what happened after it got into his body, after regaining his senses, he realized this strange blood had hijacked his body and nervous system.

Suddenly, he broke out in a cold sweat.

'If it wasn't for my Lust Overlord Bloodline, I was a goner.'

Then, a ruthless glint flickered within his pupils as he looked at the short demon. Covering his body with a thin layer of his bloodline energy, he stood up and walked over to him.

…

When the demons in the surroundings saw Max recover and walk toward their second commander—the short demon—they wanted to shout to rouse him.

But the humans, perhaps feeling guilty about their cowardly display earlier or perhaps because they knew if the demon didn't die, they might be the next to be his target, launched ruthless attacks, stopping the demons from making any sound.

…

Max had long realized whatever mana could do, his bloodline energy could do even better. Magus or demons, especially those beyond the mortal boundary, could detect him if he used mana to become stealthy, but if he used his bloodline energy, they would not be able to unless they were way stronger than him, had some powerful detection spell, or he revealed himself on purpose.

The short demon, however, wasn't much stronger than him, had no detection spell, and even if he had, he was too focused on absorbing O'mara's blood essence and his bloodline root, something that required his full attention.

So, he remained blissfully unaware as Max appeared behind him.

Only when Max extended his hand and was about to grab his neck that he felt danger and snapped back to his senses.

"You?! How?!" He became flabbergasted when he noticed with his divine sense that it was Max. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the next instant, he tried to turn into the dark cloud of demonic energy to escape, but it was of no use because... In his anger, not caring about the consequences, Max had once again used the Death Energy, which, after rampaging in his mana veins, causing significant damage, had covered his palm.

When his palm came into contact with the demonic energy, it immediately destroyed it, stopping the strange spell.

Then, as he grabbed the back of his neck and forced some of the Death Energy into him, the demon let out a heart-rending cry.

"AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

The Emperor demons' eyes narrowed while Wyomin and Alton focused.

On the ground, everyone in the surroundings stopped fighting once again as they watched the short demon wail like a helpless sheep.

"This... what is going on?"

"Who is this terrifying human?"

…

Max didn't even bat an eye as he continued injecting the Death Energy into him. At the same time, he started gathering the mixture of fire elemental mana and bloodline energy on his other hand in preparation to cast the [Calidus Brachium]. Swoosh!

Right then, he noticed a group of four Peak Five Star magus rapidly flying in his direction.

The supposed 'help' had arrived.

Clenching his blazing fist, he raised his fist when he heard the shout.

"Stop!"

Casting a brief glance at the group of five, he noticed they were from the royal family.

Then... he proceeded to ignore them and punched.

BANG!!'

The demon's head exploded, the blazing fire turning the blood, brain matter, and even the pieces of bones into ashes.

Everyone, be it demons or humans, was stunned.

This early-stage Four Star mage had killed another Peak Five Star demon.

As his vision turned black and white, he watched the unrefined death energy gushed out from the demon's body and entered his body.

He couldn't pay attention when he killed O'mara, nor was he able to check afterwards since he had begun fighting this demon, but not only did he gain a lot more unrefined death energy from them when compared to the high-stage Five Star horned demons he had killed, it was also more vibrant, which he guessed must mean it was purer.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The group of five from the Royal family arrived in front of him.

The middle-aged man who had shouted earlier glared at him, and coldly asked. "Did you not hear me?"

"I did." Max nodded. "But why do I have to stop when you tell me to? Do you think this is the capital, or you are King Azaroth?"

"You lowlife! How dare–"

The man's expression turned ugly, and he was about to attack when one of the two women in the group raised her hand.

"Don't be angry, Uncle Armand. He is right. We are on the battlefield. Nobody other than Sir Alton and Lady Wyomin has the right to stop anyone from killing their enemies."

He glanced at the woman, and his eyes lit up when he saw how beautiful she was.

"You are the third princess? Serena Williams?"

The moment he asked, he saw the four's lips' twitch.
