Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 227 Eliana

Pak! Pak! Pak!

The fiery arrows were like the judgment of the god, which couldnʼt be avoided. The man running behind the leader turned into a sieve before the burning effect activated and turned him into cinders.

The leader, a few meters ahead, trembled upon witnessing this.

Shua!

At deathʼs door, his reaction speed became lightning quick, and he took out a transparent crystalline pearl and crushed it.

Weng~

A ripple of water elemental Mana spread from the bead and formed a barrier around him. All fire arrows injected with three-star level Mana were blocked with ease.

He then increased his speed and shouted, ”You bastard! Wait for your death. Not only young master Dalton but also my family will do their best to kill you. Hahahaha!”

”Is that right?” Maxʼs voice sounded beside him and caused his body to stiffen.

While running, he turned his head to the side. ”Pl-please donʼt kill-”

BANG!

He tried to beg, but he couldnʼt even finish his words when a punch landed on his nose, his skull broke apart, and brain matter splattered around.

…

Si!

On the town wall, a female guard was looking toward the area where Max and others were fighting with squinted eyes. Although it was quite a few miles away, it was as if she could see everything happening there clearly. All of a sudden, she took in a cold breath.

”What is it?” A guard beside him asked curiously.

”That youth killed all three people with overwhelming strength.” The first guard relaxed, and his eyes turned to normal.

”Whatʼs there to be shocked about?” The guard beside him laughed and slapped his shoulder.

The female guard looked at him, shook her head, not bothering to explain, and sighed inwardly. ʼThat youth is too fierce, cold-blooded even.ʼ

…

After killing the trioʼs leader, Max stood there looking at his corpse with a frown on his face.

”Whatʼs happening? Why donʼt I feel any sympathy or guilt after killing them?” He was puzzled. As a human being, it should be normal to feel a bit guilty after taking lives, even if they were his enemies, right? But he wasnʼt feeling anything like that.

[Host, there is no need to complicate things. If you hadnʼt killed them, you would have been the one to die. Your subconscious mind knows this, so the host isnʼt feeling any guilt or sympathy. It would be good if you could also accept this fact.] The system said.

Max felt what the system said made sense. He wasnʼt supposed to feel guilty for killing those who wanted to kill him.

ʼIt seems I still havenʼt adapted to this world properly.ʼ He sighed.

After that, he searched their bodies and found three spatial bags.

He found a total of Nine hundred Mana stones, some pills of different types, and a few magic artifacts, one among which was the greenish barbed whip, a bottle of ʼFoundation strengthening liquid,ʼ and it wasnʼt low tier grade two like the one he had bought to use but was mid-tiered.

”Good stuff.” He nodded and stored everything in his inventory before looking at a small bag.

At first, he thought that the leader of this group had two spatial bags, but when he looked inside it, he found that it also had a small pocket dimension, but there were only some bushes, a small water pond, and a fist-sized yellow-colored bee.

”A pet bag!” He exclaimed. A pet bag was similar to a spatial bag but many times more expensive and rarer because it could store living things. Even his inventory couldnʼt keep living things yet.

However, he was a bit disappointed at the same time. If it were some flying beast that could be used to travel instead of a bee, he could have saved much of his time traveling.

ʼIt should have some value since he kept it, right?ʼ He thought before tying the pet bag on his waist.

Afterward, he threw a fireball on the leader and the womanʼs bodies and turned them to ashes. As for the other man in the group, there was no need since the fire arrows had taken care of him already. Then, he moved toward the town.

…

In a few minutes, Max reached the town gate.

”Hm? How come you arenʼt injured? Werenʼt you the one fighting over there?” One of the guards asked curiously. This guy obviously came from there but didnʼt look like someone who just came out of a fight.

”Is it necessary to be injured when fighting?” Max chuckled and asked, ”How much should I pay to enter the town?”

”Itʼs ten Mana stones. However, you only need to pay half since you are an inner disciple of the Cloud academy.” The guard said, pointing toward the emblem on Maxʼs chest.

Max nodded, paid the five Mana stones, and entered the town.

Above the wall, the female guard had her eyes trained on his figure. ʼFrom his age and looks, who can guess he would be someone so ferocious?ʼ

Swoosh!

As if feeling her gaze, the blue-haired youth turned his neck around and smiled at her, which caused her heart to throb, but she didnʼt move her gaze away and looked at his face intently as if trying to imprint it in her mind.

Max chuckled and walked inside the town.

Although it was called a town, it was almost two or three times larger than Claymore town.

After entering the gate, one could see many shops and stall on both sides of the road.

Max didnʼt bother looking at the things on the stalls or shops. He wanted to find an Inn as soon as possible and rest. However, just then, he noticed a familiar figure in the distance.

She was the beautiful core disciple Eliana, but right now, she wasnʼt in the academyʼs usual white uniform but in a purple dress and looked even more stunning.

”Shopkeeper, do you think Iʼm a little girl? I wonʼt give you any more than hundred Mana stones. If you want to sell it or not, itʼs your choice.” Eliana said as she glared at the middle-aged woman at one of the stalls.
