Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 642  NO!!

”...”

Max stared at her in a daze. Then, he noticed Lily, Sera, Claire and Sophie also had very worried looks on their faces as they looked at him.

He knew asking Emily anything was useless, so he turned to Lily and asked, ”Whatʼs going on? Why are you all gathered and why do you all look so worried?”

Instead of answering, Lily jumped onto the bed, hugged him tightly and started sobbing.

”I was so worried, everyone was so worried, young master. We didnʼt know what was wrong with you, why were you unconscious? We have been trying to wake you for the last two days but you…”

Seeing her cry, Max unconsciously hugged her tightly and started caressing her back, trying to calm her down.

Then, his brows jumped,

”What did you say?” He asked in surprise, pulling her away to look at her face, ”I was unconscious for two days?”

”Yes.” Lily nodded, controlling her tears.

ʼWas it because of the lock opening? It shouldnʼt be, right? I didnʼt fall unconscious when I unlocked the first lock.ʼ

Rubbing his forehead, he threw the thought to the back of his mind, and looked at everyone apologetically, ”Iʼm sorry for worrying you all.”

”Thatʼs fine, but why were you unconscious sir Max?” Sophie asked,

Max hesitated before saying, ”It had to do something with my bloodline. I was trying to find a better way to help your family members. Anyway, sorry for worrying you. Now, if you all donʼt mind, can you excuse us for a moment?”

The Fuller ladies were surprised when they heard this, and their impression of him grew a notch higher in their minds.

Then, as requested, they excused themselves, although Sophie was a little reluctant. Shasha also left after making sure he was fine.

Max left the bed, arrived in front of still angry Emily and hugged her, ”Iʼm sorry. I didnʼt know this would happen. Sorry for worrying you.”

His action caught Emily off guard. After a moment, she pushed him away, and said, ”Stop acting reckless.”

Saying this, she didnʼt give him any chance to respond and left the room.

Sighing, he turned to Lily, Sera and Claire and talked to them for a while, telling them he was completely fine.

He could see Sera looking at him guiltily, probably because she thought if she hadnʼt fallen asleep that night, she mightʼve been able to help him and prevent him from falling unconscious.

”Hey, there is no need to feel bad, alright? There was nothing you could do.” He said, wanting to console her, but it seemed his words were ambiguous that made her blush in embarrassment.

After that, he looked at Lily, who was looking at him with concern and a curious look in her eyes.

As for Claire, she no longer looked worried after seeing he was fine and his unconsciousness was the result of his actions.

ʼWell, thatʼs a mature and rational woman, alright.ʼ He thought before asking Lily, ”Have those people from central plains arrived?”

Lilyʼs expression became serious as she nodded, ”Yes. They arrived early in the morning today and have already started recruiting willing mages.”

”Alright, let me go take a bath. Then we will go get ourselves registered.”

…

A short while later,

Maxʼs group, Riva and the Twins were looking at Sera and Emily, who were about to have a fight to decide if Sera would go to the battlefield or not.

While everyone else looked at them with anticipation, the twins were indifferent, and Riva had an angry and betrayed look on her face. The betrayed look was for Sera and the anger was for Max.

Every time she looked at him, she would glare at him as though she was going to eat him alive.

Max, however, kept ignoring her, knowing the reason why she was angry with him. In fact, he was amused by it.

If someoneʼs daughter, instead of asking them for permission to go on a dangerous trip, or anywhere else for that matter, asked her boyfriend, whom she had just met, they would also feel betrayed by their daughter, and the anger would be directed toward the boyfriend.

The current situation was the same. Sera hadnʼt asked Riva for permission, but asked him, indicating she cared more for him, which naturally made Riva angry at him.

”Alright. Start!”

Lily announced,

Swoosh!

The moment her voice sounded, Emily disappeared from the place, appearing behind Sera, her hand grabbing towards the back of Seraʼs neck.

Seeing this, Lily glanced at Max and asked, ”Did you ask sister Emily to go all out?”

Max smiled wryly and shook his head.

He wanted to tell her, but when he saw she was still angry, he chose not to because even when she wasnʼt angry, she took her fights seriously, even when she was sparring. But since she was angry… Well, the result was going to be an instant defeat for Sera.

…Or so he thought.

Because just when he thought Sera wouldnʼt be able to react, a thin watery shield appeared in front of Emilyʼs claw.

Emily frowned, wind elemental mana gathering around her hand as he clenched her claw into a fist and punched at the shield while simultaneously using a Wind Elemental Spell, [Wind Bullets].

Several wind bullets were fired at Sera from every direction.

Shashaʼs eyes flashed when she noticed how fluidly she had used the wind bullets.

ʼShe is about to attain Superior Mana Control!ʼ She thought in surprise. Then, she glanced at Max, and her surprise diminished considerably.

Standing beside her, Sophie, Riva and the Twins were also surprised.

In the next moment, just like them, everyone, except Riva and Sophie, was surprised again when…

Zoom~

…several small water balls appeared in front of each wind bullet. The moment Emily noticed this, her eyes flickered. Then the mana around her hand rapidly swirled and turned into a sharp crescent in front of her fist.

The moment wind bullets collided with the water balls, the water swirled and sucked them in.

At the same moment,

Chi!

The wind crescent cut the water shield into two and backed by Emilyʼs physical strength, it ruthlessly cut into Seraʼs neck.

”NO!!”

Sera cried out in fear while Maxʼs eyes turned bloodshot.
