Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 700  Emperorʼs Authority

”No one will survive, my lord!” Zorn and Rex, the green serpent demons, shouted, their voices firm.

Salthor nodded, and his demonic energy flared as he started flying toward the Ninam city.

Swoosh!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Zorn and Rex followed after him while sending the demons waiting near the city to launch the attacks.

Immediately, hundreds of high-stage to peak Four Star demons and over a dozen Five Star demons, of which four were high-stage while three were peak Five Star demons, left the places they were hiding and began attacking the city walls.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Bang! Bang!

Boom!

Before the elves guarding the wall could react, several of them died, and a wall broke in several places all around the city.

”Enemy Attack!” The surviving elven guards shouted as they started to cast defensive spells while some tried to repair the walls with their earth and plant magic.

However, it was of no use. In front of the demonʼs overwhelming strength, the elves, most of whom were in the Three Star while some were in the Four Star realm, couldnʼt last for long. There were three Five Star elves on three different sections of the wall who tried to save their subordinates, but they soon became the Five Star demonsʼ target, and after a short fight, died.

…

Ryan was in the city guardsʼ building, having a meeting with his subordinates along with old man Raku when they heard the explosions.

Immediately everyoneʼs face fell.

”They dare attack again!” Ryan growled and was about to rush out of the building when three overwhelming auras pressed down upon the city, freezing them in their tracks while killing almost all commoners and One and Two Star elves who didnʼt have anyone to protect them, and more were dying.

However, just then, an equally strong aura shrouded the city and stopped the demon king trioʼs mass massacre.

Swoosh!

Then Aria, Rimaʼs master and the sole King mage of Ninam City, appeared in front of them, her beautiful green eyes blazing in fury as she glared at them.

”Youʼll all die!” She announced before opening her mouth and casting her strongest sonic spell.

Solthar sneered, and his horn glowed, creating a barrier around him that absorbed the sonic waves; however, Zorn and Rex were hit and were sent flying back, green blood flowing out from their orifices.

The duo cast a brief glance at Salthor before looking at Arya with an ugly look.

”Fuck! She is a sonic mage.” They cursed under their breath.

”You two go down and kill all the strongest mages before massacring everyone. Iʼll take care of her.” Salthor said, unfazed. As his horned lineageʼs bloodline abilities were able to counter Ariaʼs sonic spells and because she was just an early-stage King mage, he was confident in killing her.

”Yes, my lord!” The duo nodded, their expressions ugly. If they could help him deal with Aria, they had a chance to gain Salthorʼs favor, but now… they had lost the opportunity.

[Hopefully he would be satisfied by us slaughtering all the elves; otherwise, we would have worked for him for no reason.] Zorn said through his divine sense.

Rexʼs gaze flickered. [If he doesnʼt report our contribution correctly when we return, we will find someone else to serve.]

[Yeah. We will have to do that, as without his father, he wouldnʼt have as much authority as before.]

Aria glanced at the duo breaking through her aura field, her expression turning ugly.

Seeing this, Salthor said, ”With me here, you wonʼt be able to stop them, so donʼt even bother.”

Aria moved her gaze to him and looked at him with a cold expression, ”Youʼll soon regret targeting this city.”

”You think so?” Salthor scoffed,

Boom!

His demonic energy and aura field flared, the latter of which soon started transforming into an aura sphere around the two.

Ariaʼs expression turned grim when she saw this. Then, without hesitation, she withdrew her aura field from the city and concentrated it around her before rushing toward him with a palm-sized bronze bell in her hand.

…

Bang! Bang!

Boom!

When the continuous explosions shook the city, Ashton, who had already returned to his cultivation room, rushed out, his golden pupils staring in the distance.

Then he shouted out, ”Butler George, activate all of the mansionsʼ defensive formations. Be quick!”

”Yes, my lord!” George rushed to activate the formations.

Weng! Weng! Weng!

As the formations activated one by one, covering the mansion, the demon kingsʼ aura pressed down upon them and quickly destroyed them. However, they still managed to last a moment, which was enough for Aria to respond and cover the city with her aura.

Ashton exhaled a long breath of relief.

”Demons are attacking?” Esther, Amelia, and others arrived, all looking worried.

Ashton nodded. Then, with a cold look on his face, he looked at them and said, ”If it wasnʼt for my bloodline enhancing my senses and instincts, all of you wouldʼve died just now.”

”Now, retreat to the mansionʼs underground chamber and donʼt come out until I tell you to.” Saying this, his wind elemental mana flared, and he rushed out of the mansion, anger blazing in his eyes.

ʼHow dare those disgusting things dare try killing us!ʼ Soon, he came across a group of two high-stage, Four Star demons, who, upon seeing him, immediately attacked.

Swoosh!

Rip! Rip!

However, just as they moved, Ashton waved his hand, and two sharp wind crescents slashed them into two.

As they died, the demons had confused looks plastered on their faces, not able to understand why they died so suddenly.

”Good.” Ashton nodded in satisfaction before continuing toward the city wall.

He wanted to let loose completely after such a long time and see just how strong he currently was.

Although his act of killing two demons, almost an entire realm above him, seemed effortless, it was not. He had just used one of the abilities his bloodline granted him—Emperorʼs Authority—to enhance his wind elemental affinity and mana control, the latter of which had momentarily reached the Superior Mana Control stage—something even king mages would have trouble believing was possible—to kill them.
