Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 557  Durden

Everyone, be it demons, elves or humans, looked at the figure that was sent flying in shock because the figure wasnʼt Emily but the old horned demon.

From what strength he showed, everyone here could tell even though he wasnʼt a five-star demon, he was a seasoned demon in the peak four-star realm, stronger than ordinary peak four-star demons. So, it was shocking to see him suffer a loss in the exchange against someone in the high-stage three-star realm.

However, only Marsh, Nule, and Emily knew it wasnʼt she who sent him flying, but a bolt of lightning.

When they looked in the direction from where the bolt of lightning came, they saw a group of three humans–two men and a woman–walking over. The three of them wore purple robes, indicating they were from the same organization. The one who attacked just now was the man in lead and looked to be in late twenties. As for the other man, he was quite young and looked no older than 15 while the woman seemed to be in early twenties. Unlike the man leading them, who had a calm look on his face, the young man and woman were cautious as they walked over.

The trio stopped a few meters away from the demon groups before the man asked Emily, ”Are you alright, miss?”

Emily retreated to her group before nodding, ”Yes. Iʼm alright. Thank you for the help, senior.”

”Haha, Iʼm not much older than you. So, no need to call me senior.” The man casually laughed, before saying, ”Let me introduce myself. Iʼm Durden and they are my junior apprentice brother and sister, Adam and Jasmine.”

Emily, Shasha, Kamesh and others looked at him in a daze, thinking, ʼIs this the right time to introduce yourselves? Canʼt you see we have demons to deal with?ʼ

Except for Marsh, whose expression turned grave, all the other demons became furious seeing him talk as though they were air.

After seeing his companion wasnʼt injured, Nule barked, his expression dark, ”Kill this bastard!”

The horned demons behind him immediately launched their attacks. The old horned demons hesitated a little because, from the previous attack, he knew this man was stronger than him. But seeing everyone attack, he also cast his demonic spell and attacked.

When Emily saw this, she poured her mana into her sword and was prepared to cast her wind sword spell to help him when the man frowned and swiped his hand at the incoming attacks.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Following his gesture, the sky darkened and thunder rumbled above him before multiple inch-thick thunderbolts materialized and shot out toward the incoming attacks. Boom! Boom! Boom!

When the thunderbolts clashed with the various demonic attacks, loud explosions resounded one after another and shockwaves spread out.

The old horned demonʼs expression turned ugly. Now he confirmed he wasnʼt this purple clothed humanʼs match. Nule and other horned demonsʼ expressions were also ugly. As for Marsh, he didnʼt have much change in his expression since he already expected this.

Rey, Shasha and others sighed in relief when they saw how easily he resolved all attacks.

”We are safe. With this senior here, the demons canʼt do anything to us.” Ellie whispered to herself, her tense nerves finally relaxing a little. The elves near her also relaxed. Unlike them, Emily kept her guard up. She knew more often than not, humans were more terrifying than demons. Until she knew this Durden guyʼs true intentions, she wouldnʼt dare relax.

On the other hand, Durdenʼs eyes blazed with lightning and he slowly raised his right hand. As he did, a terrifying aura spread out from him and made everyoneʼs heart tremble in fear. However, just then, Adam cried out, ”Big brother!” Jasmine also looked at him with an anxious look in her limpid eyes.

Seeing this, Durden sighed and lowered his hand. He then glanced at the old horned demon and Marsh before saying in a terrifyingly cold voice ”Iʼll count to three. If you filthy demons are still here by then, Iʼll kill all of you.”

”You…” Nuleʼs expression turned ugly, but just as he was about to flare up, the old horned demons stopped him. Marshʼs and othersʼ expressions also turned ugly when they heard this. However, they didnʼt leave because they could see something was wrong with Durden. Maybe he is injured…?

Thinking this, their eyes flashed. But when they wanted to attack, they hesitated.

However, Durden didnʼt care about their thoughts and started counting. ”One…”

”Two…”

When Marsh and the old horned demon saw how quickly he was counting, seemingly not wanting them to leave, their expressions changed. Before Durden could count to ʼthreeʼ, Marsh barked at the demons behind him, ”Letʼs go.”

At the same time, the old horned demon grabbed Nule and ran away, not even bothered to take the rest of the horned demons with him.

”Three…”

”Run!” The horned demons paled and turned around to run away, but it was already too late.

Crackle!

As soon as he counted to three, lightning crackled in Durdenʼs hand before he flicked his fingers toward them.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

”Noo…!!!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Some of the weak-willed demons cried out in despair when they heard the lightning crackle behind them. But it didnʼt last for long before all of them exploded in blood mist. Even the toughest parts of their bodies, their demon cores, were destroyed.

”Five-star mage…” Rey muttered in astonishment. Although he had guessed it when the old horned demon was sent flying, it was only a guess. But now he was sure Durden was a five-star mage.

ʼI need to get stronger…” Emily clenched her fists as she watched the blood mist slowly disperse. If she was as strong as him, she wouldnʼt have to rely on others to save them. Shasha and Kamesh also looked solemn.

Cough!

”Big brother!”

”Sir Durden!”

Suddenly, Durden coughed out blood and staggered. Adam and Jasmine anxiously cried out and supported him.

Seeing this, Emily and others understood why he didnʼt kill the demons immediately upon his arrival and why Adam and Jasmine were so anxious earlier.
