Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 650  Happy Sera

Max's brows furrowed when he noticed him. His face was deathly pale, fear and panic clear in his eyes while his heart was beating uncontrollably.

His strange state confused him because the demons he was fighting were just in the Three Star realm, way weaker than him, nor was he in some imminent danger.

'What's going on?' He thought.

A moment later, he understood why he was so frightened when he noticed him looking in the direction he was fighting the Five Star demons a while ago.

'He has seen me fight.' A smile appeared on his face, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction in his heart.

But then his brows furrowed again, 'This is not good. If he gets too scared of me, he won't dare to take action, and I won't be able to kill him anytime soon.'

Immediately after this small scale of war began, he had wanted to go and kill him. However, right then, he noticed Alton obliterate a person who had tried to kill his enemy while he was fighting the demons.

Not only that, Alton had glanced at him with a clear warning in his gaze. Although reluctant, he had no choice but to drop the idea.

After thinking for a moment, he sighed, 'It seems I can only wait for a good opportunity to get rid of him.'

Since he couldn't stop killing the demons for the sake of not frightening him, he had no other choice if Wiley himself didn't act.

Sighing again, he looked around and soon found an Early-Star Five Star demon who was about to kill a peak Four Star human mage.

Swoosh!

His leg muscles flexed, his mana reinforcing them. Then, he disappeared from the place and appeared beside the demon right as he was about to decapitate the human mage.

"Hm?"

By the time the demon noticed him, his punch had found his forehead.

Bang!

Immediately, his head exploded in a gory rain of flesh and blood.

The human mage was first stunned and looked at Max in shock. Then, he quickly bowed by the waist and thanked him, "Thank you senior for saving my life."

"Don't worry about it. This was what I was supposed to do. You be careful now and only fight those in your realm." Max said before flashing away.

The human mage smiled bitterly. He had been fighting demons weaker than him, but this Five Star demon had suddenly appeared in front of him, leaving him no choice but to fight.

After a while, Max also realized this when he saw several Five Star demons trying to hide from the Five Star human magus and targeting weaker humans.

Noticing this, his eyes flashed with a hint of anger and he increased his killing speed, saving several people in the process.

…

Thud!

A quarter of an hour later, the last demon was killed.

The battlefield was silent for a few moments before everyone heaved a deep breath and erupted in loud cheers.

Some, however, were sobbing in silence, grieving the loss of their close ones who had just died.

Suddenly,

"Attention!"

Alton's voice boomed again, silencing everyone.

He swept his gaze across everyone and said, "There is no need to be too happy because of this small victory or sad because you lost your friends or loved ones because…

…this was merely the first and weakest wave, only aimed to whittle down your number as much as they can and exhaust you."

"Which I can see they managed to achieve quite nicely."

His words caused everyone's expression to harden.

"You have ten minutes to rest and recover. Then we will continue on our way." Alton continued, "Also, bury the corpses of your comrades and dig out the demons' cores. You'll be able to exchange them for Merits in the War Temple."

…

While some prioritize digging the graves for their closed ones, the others, greedy ones, started digging out the demon cores.

However, when they tried to dig out the core of demons someone else had killed, they found themselves frozen.

This made the greedy ones sigh in loss while the others were relieved as their spoils wouldn't be snatched away and they could take their time burying their friends.

…

Max had already taken out the cores of the demons he killed, so he went to help Emily and Lily.

Sera didn't need help as she had only killed two demons she had been fighting while Pauline had left the work to her family members.

Although some of the Fuller were injured, no one had died, so she was relaxed.

Emily had killed a total of thirty demons; most of them were peak Three Star while some were Early and Mid-Stage Four Star demons, and had earned 2400 War Merits.

As for Lily, despite her overwhelming strength, she only killed over fifty demons, over twenty of them were Three Star, twenty were Four Star and the rest were Five Star Demons.

In total, she had earned a total of 25,800 Merits, a very impressive amount.

Emily stared blankly at Lily for a few seconds after hearing this. 'So this is the difference between the realms.' She sighed and clenched her fists, 'Hopefully the War Temple can help me break through to the Four Star.'

Lily looked at Emily with a concerned look, thinking she shouldn't have revealed her merits.

Max placed a hand on her shoulder and shook his head, telling her to stop worrying.

Emily returned to her normal self a moment later, causing Lily to sigh in relief. Emily also noticed her expression and couldn't help but reveal a small smile.

She then looked at Max, about to ask about his Merits when Pauline hopped over, and proudly announced.

"I killed 63 of them. Impressive, right?"

"Impressive indeed." The trio nodded, causing her smile to widen. She then looked at Emily, her lips curling up in a teasing smile, "Want to hear how many Merits I earned?"

"No." Emily shook her head, not interested. She knew although her kill count was more than Lily, her Merits were sure to be less than hers.

"Why? Don't want to suffer a blow?" Pauline provoked.

Emily, however, ignored her, and looked at Max, "How many Merits do you have?"

Pauline harrumphed in dissatisfaction, but looked at Max with interest.

She knew although he was stronger than ordinary peak Five Star magus according to her father, it was after he used his bloodline energy, which she was sure he had not used seeing no one from the three noble families and the Royal family was keeping an eye on him.

Max checked his Merit Plate and calmly announced, "41,250."

"What!!" Pauline cried out in shock, "How is that possible?!"

Max looked at her in interest, "Oh? Why isn't it possible?"

Pauline stared at him wide eyed, before she mumbled in a low voice, "This is not fair. How can you be stronger than me without even using your bloodline?"

Hearing this, Max understood why she had that reaction and couldn't help but shake his head. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Just then, Sera came over, a huge smile on her face. "So happy, Little Sera. It seems you managed to kill a lot of them." Pauline said, changing the topic and throwing the depressing thoughts out of her mind.
