Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 672  Not Dead

Although they were almost half a mile in the sky, if she detonated her core, the destruction would be too widespread for him to contain and many humans would die.

However…

This was only if she could succeed in detonating.

Yellow bolts flickered in his pupils and Qumo immediately froze.

Though she was frozen for just a moment, it was more than enough time for Alton to appear in front of her and grab her shoulder.

Then the same thing that happened to Arivand repeated. She lost control of her body.

A large amount of mana erupted out of him and rapidly condensed into tiny yellow electric bolts on his fingertips.

He then slowly pointed his fingers at her forehead…

”NOOOOO!!”

As Qumo shouted in despair, he touched her forehead.

Immediately, her eyes went slack and her body became limp as her life was snuffed out.

Swoosh!

With a wave of his hand, Alton stored her body away before raising his head to look at his mount that was flying back.

When he saw it seemed down with its wings droopy and a defeated look in its eyes, he asked in surprise, ”He escaped?”

Though his bird wasnʼt a majestic avian magic beast, it was also in the emperor realm and had strength almost rivaling his. This was why he had sent it to capture the horned demon.

However… it failed, surprising him.

The bird nodded and sighed like a human before sending him a mental message. [He seemingly vanished in thin air after realizing I was chasing him. I tried my best to find him, but could not. Iʼm sorry, big brother.]

”Hm, it seems his concealment ability is stronger than I expected it to be.” Alton murmured to himself before saying, ”Itʼs alright. If we are lucky, we will encounter him or others from his lineage again.”

Swoosh!

Just then, Wyomin flew over, unconscious Max floating behind her in a water bubble.

”Will it make things worse?” She asked, a hint of worry in her voice.

”No,” Alton shook his head, ”It wonʼt. Those old fogies should have already expected something like this to happen with demons being so aggressive. Iʼm sure they have already prepared for it.”

Wyomin thought for a moment before nodding. She then glanced at the demon army below and asked, ”What are you going to do about them? Kill them as per the rules?”

Alton shook his head and waved his hand.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Immediately, all high and peak Five Star demons fell to the ground one after another, dead.

”Let them kill the rest. They need more battle experience.”

Saying this, he looked at Max in the water bubble and asked, ”Whatʼs his current situation? Also, any idea how he managed to survive?”

Wyominʼs gaze flickered as she glanced at Max before saying.

”Our guess was right. He canʼt use that strange energy at will.” Wyomin said, ”Though he seemed to have found a safe way to use it without any backlash, it only works if he is fully prepared and has enough time.”

As she said this, she sighed before continuing, ”His perception is quite extraordinary. He seemed to have felt the danger beforehand and used that energy without holding back to save himself. Although he managed to save his life, albeit barely, he has destroyed almost all of his mana veins.”

Alton went silent upon hearing this. When he spoke, he didnʼt ask anything about Death Energy. Instead, he asked something that surprised her, ”Can they be healed?”

”It will be very difficult, but they can.” She nodded, giving him a curious look.

”He is a good seedling. This shouldnʼt be the end of his story.” Alton said, ”So, until we reach our destination, you focus on healing him. Iʼll take care of the rest.” ”I understand.” Wyomin nodded.

Even without him saying, she had already started to use her water bubble to stabilize his condition. If he hadnʼt told her to focus on healing him, after stabilizing his condition, she wouldʼve carried him to the battlefront and used the War Temple to help him after it was established.

As she started casting her healing spells on Max, Alton swept his gaze across the panicked demon army and announced.

”Your supervisors broke the rules by trying to kill a low rank soldier. I have dealt appropriate punishment to them. By rules, I can kill all of you too…”

Every demon felt their hearts rise to their throats when they heard this but significantly calmed down when they heard Altonʼs next words.

”...But I wonʼt do that.”

”Iʼll give you all a chance to leave here alive. All you have to do is to survive for half an hour.”

Saying this, he resorted to mental communication, not wanting the humans to hear his next words, and said, [You can go all out to save your life, but be warned, if any of you harm any of my soldiers, youʼll die.]

The demons immediately frowned, obviously not liking this, but none of them complained because giving them a chance to survive was already very generous of him.

They clenched their fists and their eyes flashed with determination.

ʼI will survive.ʼ

Alton then shifted his attention to the human army and said, ”There is no high-stage or peak Five Star demon alive. So, you donʼt have to worry about facing them. Just go all out and kill as many as you can. This is probably the last time you have such an easy time earning war merits.”

”Now, begin!”

As his voice fell, the humans let out deafening cheers and battle cries before rushing at the demons.

...

While everyone started excitedly fighting, happy to earn more easy war merits, Lily, Emily and Seraʼs faces were deathly pale and they had tears in their eyes as they stared at Max, floating in front of Wyomin in the sky.

Near them, Pauline and the Fuller group was also looking up at Max, their expression serious and full of pity.

Beside them, even Armand and other the three from the royal family also had pitying looks on their faces as they sighed.

”At least he is not dead.”

Boom!
