Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 157 Urgent Need Of LPs

When Bilaz heard this, suddenly his heart was filled with regret. However, he didnʼt regret attacking Haory and other but attacking them alone was what he regretted.

Before they moved to search for Max in separate directions, Bartan only told them to find him and not engage.

Moreover, after he was found out, he could have retreated since Haory clearly asked him to do so.

However, because he was too arrogant and when he didnʼt like the way she spoke to him, he tried to kill them in anger, which led him to this moment.

He hesitated a little whether he should tell him or not. But since he already wanted to die, he told him.

”I... was hired... to kill... you. That dog... that dog of Daltons... hired us. Ugh! Please kill... me now.” He said in a weak voice.

If he wasnʼt tortured by Max, he wouldnʼt have confessed so easily because of his pride. However, now his willpower had completely broken. He only wanted to die quickly and be relieved of his misery.

ʼDog of Daltons? That Bartan guy huh. So that Dalton indeed made his subordinate join Cloud academy in order to kill me. Hehe, letʼs see how you kill me.” Max laughed coldly in his heart.

However, he had to say that this Bartan was too ruthless. He clearly knew that Max was only an initial stage two-star mage when he joined academy and not much time has passed. Even then he hired a middle stage two-star mage to kill him.

He the frowned and asked ”What do you mean by ʼusʼ? How many people he hired to kill me and where is that Bartan now?”

”There are... three more apart from m-me. Ah! They are temporary in East direction from here. Ugh! However, We donʼt stay in one place for long and had to constantly move to look for you.” Bilaz replied in between groans of pain.

”...kill me now.” He then pleaded again.

Max ignored his wails and asked ”Are the other three and Bartan also in the middle stage of two-star star mage realm just like you?”

This was most important thing that he should know. If they were all were in middle stage then that would be too dangerous.

Bilaz was squirming in pain and couldnʼt wait the pain to stop. However, hearing his question he laughed weakly and said ”Yes. Moreover... Bartan is slightly stronger than the rest of us. Hahaha... Ahhhh–”

Max expression became grave seeing that it was indeed as he thought. Hearing him laugh, he tossed another 10 MP fireball on his chest which instantly stopped his laughter and made him cry in agony.

After fire stopped burning, Bilaz cried in hoarse voice ”How... How much longer are you going to torture... me? Please just kill me.”

Max finally looked at his bloodied body after hearing this and was a bit taken aback. ʼWas I too cruel?ʼ He thought. Bilazʼs body was thoroughly cut and burnt. In no way did he resemble a human.

Suddenly he felt a bit nauseous. He turned to look at Haory and others to see if they were repulsed by this scene. However, he was surprised once again.

Haory was looking at Bilaz emotionlessly without even a frown. While Leticiaʼs eyes were roaming around, she was trying to not look at the scene. Belén also didnʼt have much change in her expression.

Noticing that he was looking at them, Haory looked at him calmly while Belén gave him a charming smile. 

ʼI guess they have more bloodshed than me.ʼ He smiled bitterly in his heart.

He took a deep breath and conjured a fire arrow from death rain spell and pierced his forehead, instantly killing him.

He then went ahead and searched his body and found his spatial bag. Canʼt let resources go to waste right?

His spatial bag had a few hundred gold coins which were useless in academy, a few sets of clothing which he simply threw away. However, there were seventy mana stones too.

He distributed them equally and said ”Quickly recover your mana. Weʼll move out from here. Iʼve found a better place to stay.”

After an hour,, they had recovered enough Mana and stamina to travel. Max carried unconscious Rima and departed with others.

After more than half an hour, they arrived in the valley where Max and Leticia previously had been.

”This is indeed a good place to stay.” Haory commented after seeing the beautiful scenery and the stream of fresh water. Belén also nodded.

Max led them to the cave. Which made them look at him.

Max smiled and looked at Leticia ”Leticia, use your wind blades and make it large enough for five of us to comfortably live.” He then turned to Belén ”You should use your vines to move the rubble produced out of the cave and make us some bed.”

Following this, they started working to make the cave larger which took them around an hour.

–––Night time–––

Bartan and others had gathered once again. Bartan was looking Haggard and was slightly injured. Other two who went east and south direction also looked exhausted.

”Did you encounter some beast?” The electric woman asked. Bartan nodded without explaining anything.

He then asked while looking at them ”I didnʼt find them. Did you?”

”No.” Both of them shook their heads.

Bartan nodded and looked in west direction ”Letʼs wait for Bilaz. Maybe he was lucky enough to find them.”

After two hours, sky had turned completely dark. The mountain was even darker because the tree didnʼt let moonlight reach the ground.

”I canʼt wait any longer for that brute. If he comes back, talk to him yourself and tell me what you decide in the morning. Iʼm going to rest now.” The electric woman became impatient and stood up. After saying her piece, she went inside her tent.

Bartan didnʼt say anything and was still looking in west direction with slight frown.

The man who went in south direction also stood up and walked towards his tent after saying ”I think we shouldnʼt wait any longer and rest now. He must have been unlucky to encounter some beast and was killed.”

Bartanʼs frown deepened hearing this. He didnʼt believe that this was the case since Bilaz was very strong and could easily survive in this area if he doesnʼt encounter a peak Two-star beast, agility or flying type beast or a group of beasts and the possibility of these encounters wasnʼt high.

The last man who had stayed looked at Bartanʼs frown and smiled a little. He was a lean body and considerably handsome guy and looked harmless. However he was more cruel than Bilaz.

He casually said ”Maybe he had found our target. However, because he was overconfident in his strength, he tried killing them and was killed instead.”

Bartan looked at him for a while without saying anything. Then he also stood up and said ”Perhaps your conjuncture is right. Therefore if he doesnʼt arrive until morning, weʼll head west tomorrow.” Finishing his statement, he also entered his tent to rest, leaving the lean man outside to guard.

...

Max and others were sitting on their flower beds, cultivating. Max was simply meditating.

Rima was still unconscious however, her internal injuries had healed significantly thanks to Belénʼs life potion. Haory and Belén only had flesh injuries which healed completely after taking a few healing pills.

Max opened his eyes and saw everyone cultivating and laid down on his flower bed.

ʼMy physical attributes are quite high and are enough to fight most two-star mages and beasts if they donʼt use spells.

I believe that Bartan would find this place in another one or two days. 

I need to raise my mana reserves and master this new spell so that it takes less time to cast. If I can do this before they find me, Iʼll able to easily handle them.ʼ Max thought.

After thinking this, he didnʼt fall asleep. After a while, everyone stopped cultivating and slept.

He stood up and went to wake Belén up. He needed more LPs quickly and had to utilise every second.

After Belén woke up, he whispered ”Come with me.”

Saying this he turned around and walked towards the entrance of the cave which was block by the big rock.

He moved it to side without making any noise and walked out with Belén.

Belén quietly walked behind him. Although she was very exhausted today, she want to obey everything he asked her to do. 

After seeing that there was no beast in the valley, he led her a hundred metres away from the cave.

”Make a flower bed here.” He said. Belén nodded and quickly threw a seed which sprouted and assumed the form of a bed under her control.

Belénʼs heart was beating like drums. Even though she had sex with him daily, but today she was more anxious because she knew that Leticia had also become his woman.

Therefore, she was worried that he would pay more attention to Leticia. However, now that he chose to wake her up instead of Leticia, she was both happy and anxious.
