Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 733  More Uses of Death Energy [Bonus]

Five days ago, when he started tempering his mana core, he made a wonderful discovery. While he could temper his core using the old supreme mage's method, which was a slow and painful process, or he could use his bloodline energy or the Nascent Energy to do it faster and without any pain.

When he, however, experimented with the Death Energy, which at that time he felt stupid for trying, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that it could temper his mana core several times faster than the Nascent Energy could.

Not to mention, it was a more thorough tempering and could refine his mana at the same time, condensing it and making it more powerful.

He was about to focus on tempering his mana and mana core when a thought crossed his mind.

'If the Death Energy can temper them, couldn't it temper my body too?'

This thought was even more ridiculous as he couldn't even circulate it through his mana veins without harming them. But once it appeared in his mind, it didn't go away.

So, in the end, he gritted his teeth and infused a tiny bit of the Death Energy into his shoulder muscles.

Once again, to his pleasant surprise, he realized it was possible. He just had to mix some of his bloodline energy into it to make it less violent.

He then spent two days tempering his mana and mana core, and for the rest of the remaining time, he tempered his body and pushed his [Barbarian God Physique] to the peak of level two.

While the improvement in his physique made him almost two times stronger physically, the elevation of his mana, although just a little, increased the power of his magic spells. When he had used Phoenix Wings earlier, he was faster than before when using the same amount of mana and bloodline energy—though it was also because his bloodline energy was constantly being strengthened thanks to the devil's blood.

Last but not least, the strengthening of his mana made it easier for him to take out mana from his core, slightly lessening the time needed to cast a spell.

Him finding out these uses was also the reason why he was excited deep down when he found out that the more demon tribes had joined the horned and scarlet tribes. With more demons to kill, he could easily gather more Death Energy and continue improving rapidly.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

These three demons were from the Ashen Fiend tribe, not the Abyssal Howler tribe like he expected.

When he saw the Five Star demon was also rushing toward him with the two Four Star demons instead of going to help the half-wolf demon kill Leo, he wasn't too surprised because they had clearly seen him easily kill the two peak Four Star demons, which meant just these two Four Star demons, although stronger, most likely wouldn't be his match. Also, since the Five Star Howler demon wasn't at a disadvantage, they could help him after dealing with him.

Max's expression remained the same, but his eyes flashed with an amused glint.

'Let's see if I can kill this early-stage Five Star demon with just my physical strength.' He thought before covering himself in a thin layer of his bloodline energy, so they wouldn't be able to burn him.

When they were less than fifty meters away from him, he bent his knees slightly before bursting into a sprint toward them.

Swoosh!

Since the demons were rushing toward him and he was running toward them, in just a split second, he arrived in front of the early-stage Five Star demon, who narrowed his eyes slightly before extending his hand to slap at him.

Max didn't try to dodge. The layer of bloodline energy wouldn't let him burn, so he wasn't worried about it. As for the strength behind the slap, well, wasn't it perfect to test his physical defenses?

The ashen demon grew wary when he saw Max wasn't trying to escape or defend and got ready to use his movement technique to escape.

Max could tell what he was thinking, which made him curl his lips into a mocking smirk.

For a moment, the urge to use Phoenix Wings so as not to let him escape appeared in his mind because after watching the ashen demons fight, he knew just relying on his base speed, he wouldn't be able to catch him after he used his strange movement technique. However, he immediately discarded the idea because he wouldn't be able to check his physique's limits if he did that.

Slap!

The slap landed on his left shoulder, making him wince in pain as his skin was torn, causing droplets of blood to flow out, but apart from that, nothing happened.

Max's eyes lit up while the demon's narrowed in horror, and he immediately retreated.

Swoosh!

Max tried to punch him before he could move away but failed. So, keeping his momentum, he ignored him and rushed towards Four Star demons that were just a few meters away from him.

"Retreat!" The Ashen Five Star demon shouted. Even though he had seen Max kill those two Four Star Howler demons, he was confident he wouldn't be able to kill his nephews just as easily since they were stronger. And with him there, even if he turned out to be stronger, he could help them.

However, the exchange just now made him realize he had vastly underestimated Max. Hell, seeing his slap that had more than three-fifths of his peak power unable to do anything to him when he hadn't used any defensive spell, he knew even he wasn't his match, not to mention his nephews.

'Why didn't those horned and scarlet bastards tell us about someone so strong—Wait!' Suddenly his eyes widened, 'Could he be…'

Bang!

This thought had just appeared in his mind when the sound of something bursting snapped him back to his senses.

Seeing one of his nephews had met the same fate as those howler demons, his expression turned ugly.

Swoosh!

When he saw Max move toward his other nephew, he hurriedly took out a black marble and threw it at Max.

BOOM!
