Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 746  Fiora Arasia

”Lord Max, please help us.”

Max was caught off guard by the sudden shout, and when he saw who it was who had shouted, he became surprised, as this guy was the same one who was planning to act against him with Count Wiley.

Now, however, he was asking for his help without any hesitation or shame in his voice.

In just a moment, he understood why this was so.

ʼHe thinks I donʼt know the Dalton family was also planning to hunt me down. And though he might be aware of that guyʼs—James—parents going to kill me at the Cloud Academy, he might want to brush it off as personal enmity. Additionally, he is also relying on the fact that we, as humans, are on the same side and should help each other.ʼ

He couldnʼt help but feel some respect for his thick skin.

But then he proceeded to ignore him and focused his gaze on Count Wiley, who had gone deathly pale and was looking at him with dread in his eyes and… a black talisman in his hand.

”Hmm?” His eyes narrowed when he sensed the complex and powerful—though subdued since it wasnʼt activated—fluctuations emitting from the talisman and realized he had to be careful.

A high-stage Five Star female mage from the Arasia family, seeing he was focused on Count Wiley and had no intention of helping them, spoke to him via her divine sense, [You are Max, right? That little girl Flaviaʼs… friend?]

Hearing this, Max raised his eyebrows and shifted his gaze to her.

[I know you donʼt have a good impression of our family, and I completely understand that. If I were in your place, I would be angry too.]

After a pause, she continued, [Still, I, Fiora Arasia, request you, as Flaviaʼs grandaunt, to help us. If you do, when and if you come to our family to take Flavia away, Iʼll do my best to ensure everything goes smoothly.] The lady offered.

Max was silent for a moment before he asked through his bloodline sense, [How was she when you left the capital?]

Fioraʼs pupils constricted in surprise, seeing he could talk telepathically when he didnʼt have divine sense. However, her surprise quickly subsided when she considered he was able to completely dominate the Five Star realm beings and could fight Kings when he was just an early-stage Four Star mage, something even more shocking than being able to talk telepathically. After all, she had heard of a few instances where those in the Four Star realm had somehow developed a nascent divine sense or were able to communicate telepathically through some other means.

[Regrettably, she was locked up when I left.] She knew telling the truth would only anger him, but she didnʼt want to lie.

Maxʼs eyes narrowed when he heard this. [It was her stepmother, right?]

Fiora nodded while sighing in her heart. She knew Flaviaʼs stepmother was done for the moment she nodded. Still…

She swept her gaze across her family members and thought, ʼHer sacrifice is well worth it if it can save their lives.ʼ

Max nodded. He had already expected something like this.

He then asked, [Can you affect your king magesʼ decision?]

Hearing this, a bitter smile appeared on Fioraʼs face: [We only have one king mage left at home. So, even if I canʼt affect her decision, sheʼll have no choice but to drop her ideas about you when she finds out how strong you are.]

Maxʼs lips curled up. [Then isnʼt your offer worthless?]

Fiora raised her brows. [Would you rather take her away with her father and eldersʼ permission or without? Iʼm sure Flavia, despite how she had been treated in the family due to her stepmotherʼs influence, would prefer the former.]

Max thought for a moment and nodded. When Flavia told him about her family, he had realized she loved her father and didnʼt blame him much because he was helpless in front of his wife. Fioraʼs eyes flashed with delight, and she immediately shouted, ”Help Sir Max kill these bastards!”

Max glanced at Count Wiley before shifting his gaze to the five Five Star demons.

With a thought, the Thunder Sword appeared in his hand as he released Leoʼs hand. Swoosh!

As he started falling, fiery wings appeared on his back and flapped. Swoosh!

He shot toward the demons like a shooting star, a bit of Death Energy already coating the swordʼs blade.

Count Wiley and Deanʼs eyes flickered when they saw him take out the sword. Dean instinctively glanced at Count Wiley to confirm if it was the same sword, and Count Wiley nodded.

A flicker of greed had just lit up in his heart when he saw Max behead a mid-stage Five Star demon in what seemed like an effortless stroke, and it was immediately extinguished. Then, he watched as Max single-handedly slaughtered the rest of the Five Star demons; even the high-stage Five Star demon couldnʼt put up a decent fight and thoroughly dismissed the idea of getting the thunder sword.

Count Wiley clenched the talisman tightly, and gritting his teeth, he took out a communication crystal, different from the normal ones. This one had the longest range and was able to transmit the messages to the faraway central plains.

Even when he was sure Max had the Thunder Sword, he hadnʼt informed the person of the Thunder Family who tasked him to find it because he planned to get it before informing him since informing him when he hadnʼt acquired it wouldnʼt be as useful as he would get less rewards.

Now, however, he knew his fate was sealed. Even his [Witchʼs Destruction Talisman] wouldnʼt be able to save him. So, the rewards no longer mattered. Right now, he only wanted to cause Max as much trouble as he could and ensure if the demons failed to kill him, the Thunder family would kill him.

Swoosh!

Maxʼs bloodline sense was focused on him even though he was fighting the demons. Therefore, he immediately noticed this and realized what he wanted to do.

Swoosh!

His wings flapped, and he shot in his direction.
