Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 165 Bartan Shivering In Terror[1]

Haory and Rima's eyes glittered with interest upon hearing this. They always had suspicion that it was Max who somehow helped Belen and Leticia improve so much.

Meanwhile, Belén and Leticia looked at him in surprise before shifting their gazes to Haory and then Rima.

Their eyes slightly dulled after seeing Rima whose body was so sensual that even a saint can't resist the temptation of let alone Max.

Hearing his words, Haory went into deep thought. She had a guess that she might have to pay him with her body like Leticia and Haory in exchange for the help he would provide her.

While she was thinking this, Rima smiled seductively and opened her mouth to speak. Needless to say, she also wanted the treatment Max gave Belen and Leticia.

However, before she could say anything, Max stood up and spoke in a solemn tone. "We will talk about it later."

He then turned around to look into the direction of the valley entrance "They are already here. You guys get ready to fight and defend yourself." Saying this, he started casting his [Calidus Brachium] since it takes almost one minute to completely cast.

Belen and others became alert and stood behind Max while looking at the valley entrance where four figures coming towards them could be seen.

"Oh! This guy has high perception." The lean man commented nonchalantly. While the electric woman and the other man stared at Max with slight caution.

As they came into two hundred metres range, Bartan stopped and stared at Max with an expressionless face "You know why I'm trying to kill you right?"

Max also stared back at him and mockingly said "Because your master is a retard and you have to obey his order. Am I right?"

Bartan's mouth twitched at this but he didn't say anything. He also knew that his master, Dalton was really a retard and didn't put anything in his eyes just because his family was very influential.

"I've no personal enmity with you but have to kill you. I hope you won't mind." Bartan said with a serious face and released his murderous aura.

Everyone, including Bartan's group looked at him as if he was a joker. How can someone not mind when you are trying to kill him?

However, Max's expression became solemn feeling his aura. He took a few step forward while signalling his teammates to step back and asked "So you must also be prepared to die here right?"

Bartan was taken aback. He hadn't expected him to walk out from his teammates protection and even ask this question.

He looked at him up and down and noticed mana swirling around his right fist which made a mocking smile appear on his face.

"If you can kill me, I'm ready to pay with my life for trying to kill you." He then continued "However, that won't be possible since I'll be the one killing you."

Just as he said this, the lean man and electric moved to surround Max while the other man moved towards Belén and others.

He seemed to have wind element and his speed was faster than Leticia. Max didn't try to stop him from going past him since Belén and others could handle him and focused on pouring his mana into the spell while paying attention to the people in front of him.

Peng~

The electric woman unsheathed her sword and electric sparks flickered on it. She then followed by slashing at his waist with lightening fast speed.

The lean man circulated his mana and his eyes and skin colour changed to green and faint wisps of greenish energy covered his hand as he clawed at Max's neck.

Shua!

When their attacks were only half a foot away from him, Max moved and dodged their attacks.

Whoosh!

He appeared behind the lean man and raised his right hand to punch. He fist was burning with fire as he had finished casting the spell.

"Fuck!"

The lean man cursed, turned around in an instant and took out a small metal shield and blocked in front of him.

Max was surprised by his extraordinary reflexes and put more force in his punch.

BANG!!!

His punch collided with the shield producing a loud explosive sound and the lean man was thrown into the rocks was a shooting star.

Crack! Thud!

The rock he crashed into cracked and he fell on the ground powerlessly.

"What?" The electric woman exclaimed in fright upon seeing this. She guessed that unless it was someone who had very high defence, everyone other would suffer serious injuries which would leave them half dead at the very least.

Bartan who was about to attack Max and the other man who was running towards Belén and others, stopped in their tracks and looked the Max in disbelief and horror.

Seeing their astonished expressions, Max laughed "What? Didn't expect me to be this strong? Did you?"

Bartan's expression became very ugly. He guessed him to be at the peak of middle stage two-star realm at the very least. This made him look at Max in new light.

He then took a deep breath and spoke grimly "Indeed, I didn't expect you to improve so much in just over a month. However, you'll still die here."

...

Echo~

While Bartan and others were stunned due to Max's sudden show of power. Belen and others didn't remain still. Rima used her sonic spell on the man who was only fifty meters away from them.

Bang!

He was hit with her spell without resistance which made his expression turn severe.

Sou! Sou!

Haory and Leticia followed up by attacking him with their sand spikes and wind blades.

Hah!

The man shouted to regain his senses and jumped to the side successfully dodging their attacks.

Shua!

However just then, half a food thick vines shot out from behind him and pierced his chest.

Pfff....! ????????????????ℯ????d. c૦????

He instantly spat out a mouthful of blood and looked down his chest which now had a dark green coloured vine coming out of it.

"Ahhhh... You damnable whores!"

He let out a piercing cry and cursed in pain and anger before his expression became savage. His mana surged out and formed three five-feet long and one foot wide swords.

"Die with me." He shouted with all his remaining strength and three swords shot towards Belén and others at very high speed.

Because they didn't expect him to attack even his last moments and the speed of the wind swords was very fast, Haory and others didn't have time to dodge.

Swoosh!

However, Belen reacted the moment he conjured up the swords. She put her hands on the ground and channelled mana into it. Instantly, many vines came out from the ground and formed a three meter high and half a meter thick wall In front of them.

After injuring herself previous time when she had to instantly conjure up a vine wall to save Max, she understood that she always, had to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Therefore, she had started casting her vine spell the moment Bartan and others appeared inside the valley, with the effective range of 200 meters.

When needed, she only needed to channel her mana into the ground and vines would sprout out instantly to be used as she liked.

This tactic couldn't be used previously because to maintain it, at least 10 units of mana was consumed per second. However, now she was nearing high stage of two-star realm, she had enough mana to maintain it for a few minutes.

Boom!

All three swords crashed into the wall with great momentum. Vine splinters flew around and the wall was pierced after some resistence and the swords continued to fly towards them.

Leticia and Rima almost cried out and even Haory showed traces of fear on her face seeing this.

Seeing this, Belen also panicked a bit before forcing herself to calm down and quickly controlled the vine that was piercing the man's chest and crushed his heart in a Swift movement.

"Ugh!" The man coughed up blood last time before the last sparks of his life faded away. Wind swords also dispersed After losing their caster to maintain it.

Phew!

Belen let out a cold breath. However, Her heart was still thumping loudly and she felt her legs go soft.

The situation was really dangerous just now. If she was just a micro second late in crushing his heart, the wind swords would have cut them into pieces.

"Wah! We are safe." Leticia and Rima let out a breath of relief. They hadn't expected him to use such a powerful attack in his last moment.

Haory also visibly relaxed. She looked at Belen in surprise. 'Her improvements are also amazing.'

...

Seeing one of their companion getting killed in just a few moments after Max had attacked, the expressions of Bartan and the electric woman became even uglier.

"It seems I underestimated you guys very much. However don't–"

Bang!

Bartan spoke through clenched teeth but was punched in the gut before he could finish his words and was thrown back.

"Stop your bullshit and fight."
