Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 493 Royal elf bloodline

BANG!

The demoness' head burst into pieces, which were then burned by the flames.

Max extended his hand and grabbed her demon core, which had just started burning, and stored it away.

As he watched her body fall to the ground, a pondering expression appeared on his face, 'If I'm fast enough, I won't even need to use 7000 mana unit [Calidus Brachium] to kill someone like her. Perhaps just 5000 one would be enough.'

He felt he had wasted quite a bit of his mana on her and the demon before. Of course, it was mostly because of his cautiousness and inexperience. But if he was fast enough to look down on their movement technique, there would have no need to be as cautious.

'I need to buy a movement technique.' He decided.

If he used a movement technique, even if it was of a lower quality, he believed his speed wouldn't be any slower than either the demon or the Elvin team leader who he suspected also had a movement technique or he wouldn't have been so fast. After all, even Jack's parents' were as fast as him.

'It's not like I forced them to show their speeds. Perhaps they also had their own movement techniques.' He smiled wryly as he remembered the past events.

While he was ruminating over this, the demons and the 'sane' elves gaped at him, both for different reasons. Demons because the fear they had for Max increased several times. Elves because he made killing these demons who they had to be wary of look so easy.

"I-I think we should retreat. We aren't their match." One of the demons said, feeling apprehensive. He was cursing his bad luck for encountering someone like Max.

Normally, when humans or elves encountered them, they would have fear and cautiousness in their hearts, which made it easy for them to make many mistakes while fighting and they, the demons, could easily kill them. However, with Max here, the situation was completely opposite. Right now, they had to be wary.

Other demons had the same thought, and hearing him only made it grow even more. They knew if Max wasn't taken care of, all of them would be slaughtered.

They also cursed the demoness for not being cautious enough. If she had just kept him busy for a few short minutes, they could've killed the hypnotized elves and then help her kill Max.

But she had died so quickly, leaving Max unrestrained while their hypnotism hadn't taken complete control of the elves. If they tried to kill them, they would regain their senses, wasting all the efforts they put in until now.

So, the only option was now to keep Max busy somehow while their hypnotism took deeper effect on elves, kill them and then kill Max jointly. Or retreat. Because if they didn't, their heads would either be rolling on the ground or would burst like the demoness'. And obviously, they wanted neither to happen.

Just when they were hesitating,

BOOM!

They heard an explosion of energy from the side.

Looking over, they saw the demon leader's aura had gone through a complete transformation, becoming more deadly and his green demon energy and scales had also changed to become reddish green.

"Team leader… he has activated his bloodline ability."

The demons, who were cowering in fear just now because of Max, exclaimed, and all the thoughts of retreating vanished without a trace.

They knew once he activated his bloodline, which wasn't a normal green serpent bloodline but a noble one among them, he would become as strong as an early-stage four-star mage.

The demon team leader said, looking at the Elvin team leader. "You are strong and I wanted to continue our fight, but… I can no longer afford to waste time with you."

The Elvin team leader's eyes narrowed and his heart throbbed in trepidation when he felt his aura because, right now, he felt a strong sense of danger from the demon.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes for a moment and then…

Boom!

An aura, several times stronger than before, burst out of him, almost matching the demon's aura in intensity.

"Since you can't, let's finish this fight." He said in a heroic voice. His demeanor had completely changed, and he had gained some regal air about him.

"Hm?" The demon leader's eyes narrowed and then he spoke in a somewhat surprised tone. "You have the royal elf bloodline?"

He then shook his head. "No. It's not as strong as I was told. It seemed to be a weaker version of the original."

"Cut the crap and fight!" The elf shouted and rushed at him, his sword glowing with a pure green light.

The demon snorted, also moving toward him while shouting at his teammates, "Go all out and kill them!"

When the demons, who had regained hope, heard this, they pulled long faces. They had expected him to kill the elf leader quickly and then take care of the blue-haired human. However, now the elf leader proved to be stronger, and they had to fight the elves while being constantly on guard in case Max attacked.

Just then, Rue, whose face had regained some color, walked toward Max while saying, "You guys go all out and kill them as soon as possible. I'll… keep this bastard busy."

The demons sighed in relief when they heard this and quickly released their energies at full force before started attacking the elves in front of them.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Because the elves were hypnotized, they only focused on attacking, not defending, while the demons could dodge their attacks easily before landing their attacks on them.

Within a few seconds, three of the elves had lost their lives while others had gained varied degrees of injuries. However, this also helped them snap out of their hypnotic state.

They looked at the demons in front of them in bewilderment, unnerved by the strangeness of the events.

However, they soon started retaliating.

Max frowned when he saw this. Ignoring Rue, he moved toward the closest demon.

Although he didn't feel any sadness when he saw the elves being killed, he couldn't let all of die since he was their teammate and they were Ryan's people who was his benefactor.
