Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 565  Surrender or die

Whoosh!

Following the voice, Durden flew out of the valley and gracefully landed beside Max.

"Is she alright?" He asked, glancing at Ellie.

Max, however, acted as though he didn't hear him, and continued looking at Ellie as blood red mist gathered in the depths of his eyes, giving them a malevolent look. At the same time, his heartbeat rose, his blood started churning in his veins like a raging river while his murderous intent spiked uncontrollably.

Durden frowned, a little displeased, but seeing how Max was staring at Ellie's face in a daze, he shook his head and raised his head to look at the dwarf demons. But just then, a strange sensation of oppression enveloped him, which made his blood run cold.

"An emperor?" His first thought was that an emperor demon had arrived as king ranked mages and demons weren't strong enough to give him such a feeling. He immediately raised his guard up, took out a violet short sword and cautiously looked around. However, he found no one apart from the dwarf demons, Max and Ellie.

Just when he was feeling puzzled, the feeling of oppression became stronger. Right then, his gaze landed on Max, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed because he had realized Max was the source of oppression he was feeling.

'Is he…' An ominous feeling welled up in his heart. "HEY, SNAP OUT OF IT!!" Slap!

Immediately, he let out a loud shout and slapped Max's shoulder hard.

"Hm?" The slap sent a jolt running through Max's body, which caused the rid mist in his eyes to disperse, and woke him up.

"You hit me? Why?" Max coldly asked, feeling the pain in his shoulder. Seeing that he had regained his senses, Durden let out a internal sigh of relief. Then, his expression turned cold as he emotionlessly stated, "No matter what happens, you need to keep your emotions in check. If not, there would be consequences and I'm sure, you won't like them."

After saying this, he turned his gaze toward the dwarf demons while Max furrowed his brows in confusion.

'Keep my emotions in check?' Suddenly, his eyes widened and he understood why Durden slapped him, and sent his thunder energy into his body. 'I almost lost my senses just now…' When he had lost his senses last time, he didn't have even a trace of Lust overlord's bloodline in his body, but he still almost crippled himself. Now, he had the complete Lust overlord's bloodline, which he didn't have much control of yet. If Durden hadn't woken him up, and he had lost his senses, he couldn't even imagine what would've happened.

Realizing this, he broke out in cold sweat, and quickly thanked Durden. "Thank you, Durden, for the help."

Durden lightly grunted in acknowledgement, his gaze fixed on the dwarf demons' leader.

Max also turned his head around, anger blazing in his eyes.

"Argh!" Just then, a soft grunt of pain sounded, which made him look down at Ellie. She had already lost consciousness, and her face had become as pale as a sheet of white paper. Fortunately, the healing medicines had worked as the wound on her neck had stopped bleeding, and was slowly healing. Seeing this, he sighed in relief, but then felt a surge of anger, which made some strands of red mist appear in the depths of his eyes. But this time, he didn't let his anger overwhelm him, and took a deep breath and calmed down. Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just then, Emily and others arrived. When they saw dwarf demons, their expressions hardened. Max signaled the four-star female elf to take care of Ellie before he slowly stood up. However, just when he was about to take the lead and attack the demons, Durden spoke up, "I didn't expect to meet the famed Scarlet Dwarf Demons so soon. It seems the demon continent is serious this time." A flicker of surprise and apprehension flashed in the dwarf leader's eyes as he snorted, "We were always serious."

"Hm. So, tell me, do you want to die right now, or surrender your scarlet bone knives and leave here alive?" Durden calmly asked.

His question not only surprised Max and others, but also dwarf demons. They were preparing to fight to death just now, but all of a sudden, they were given a choice to survive?

However, their expressions were ugly because their bone knives were too precious to them as they had nurtured them with their heart blood for several years and even decades. So, how could they be happy by the given choices?

"Boss, let's fight them to death. They must not want to fight us to death because they know they will suffer more losses." A dwarf demon clutched his bone knife as he shouted.

When the dwarf leader heard this, his eyes flickered. However, when he looked at Durden, there was no change in his expression aside from a faint mocking smile on his lips.

Seeing this, he hesitated for a while, before saying in a low, yet cold tone, "We won't give you our knives. If you don't let us leave safely, we will fight you all to death. You should know, if we go all out, apart from you and that pretty boy over there, all others will die."

Hearing this, the four-star male elf snorted in disdain, and released his aura, "Overconfident fiend! Do you believe I can kill you with a single attack?" Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m

Other elves also shouted, ready to attack. Emily looked on calmly while Max had an unpleasant expression on his face. He wanted to kill all the dwarves to avenge Ellie, but he could tell Durden must have a reason for not wanting to fight. Just when he was thinking this, he received a voice transmission from Durden. "Stop your people. We can't afford to waste any time fighting them. Two groups of demons are headed this way. They have multiple four-star experts amongst them. If we don't leave immediately, all of us might die here."

Max's expression changed when he heard this. He immediately closed his eyes and expanded his senses, but didn't sense anyone nearby. Durden raised his brows in confusion when he noticed this. 'Is he trying to sense them?'

As this thought appeared in his mind, his eyes flashed with surprise because he could tell Max wasn't using his mana sense, and since he was just a three-star mage, he couldn't have Divine sense, this could only mean he was using his Natural sense.

'Don't tell me his natural sense is stronger than his mana sense?!' Suppressing his surprise, he sent another voice transmission to him, "Don't bother. They are still a few miles away. You won't be able to sense them."

Hearing this, Max opened his eyes, and stopped the four-star elf, "Stop. Let Mr. Durden talk."

The four-star elf looked at him in confusion, but when he noticed the grave look in his eyes, he stepped back.

Seeing this, the leading dwarf became even more confident, and revealed a mocking sneer, 'You want to intimidate us when you don't dare to fight.'

However, in the next moment, his sneer froze and chill ran down his spine because he saw Durden grin, before he disappeared from the view. 'Not good!' .
