Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 755  41 Emperors

Even though they were still out of his bloodline senseʼs range, Max could tell all these dozens of people—41 to be exact—were emperors.

He realized the Green Leaf Kingdom was going to become one of the main battlefields of this war. This meant the average strength of the people fighting would increase, and therefore, the danger would also increase.

However, he wasnʼt thinking about all this right now. In fact, he wasnʼt thinking anything at all. His mind was blank. No… that wasnʼt accurate because it was filled with a very intense murderous intent. The intent he released a moment ago, which had petrified both Leo and Oliver, was nothing in comparison.

Despite that, however, neither his face nor his eyes—that had now returned to their original sapphire color, without any hint of pink, crimson, or gray—showed it. They were as calm as a still lake as he stared at the five people in distinct pure white robes among the group flying over.

A few moments later, the group of five in white robes broke off from the group and flew in his direction while the rest went toward the war temple.

The moment he had laid his eyes on them, he had realized they were from the Ice Sovereign Mountain, and the man in the middle, who had similar hair and eyes to Oliver and was most likely his father, was the one who had attacked him, stopping him from killing Oliver.

Swoosh!

The group stopped right above Oliver.

The silver-haired man, Julius, Oliverʼs father, after seeing his son was fine, glanced at Max. When his divine sense scanned him, his pupils constricted, shock flickering within them. The others had the same reactions.

The next moment, Juliusʼ shock turned into killing intent as he announced in a cold voice, ”For committing the crime of attacking your fellow human on the battlefield with the intention to kill, I hereby sentence you to death.”

Boom!

Saying this, he released his aura to kill Max, but before his aura could reach Max…

Swoosh!

The woman who had been standing beside him, her hair as white as snow, appeared in front of Max and released her aura to protect him. She was none other than Lilyʼs master—Rose Dawn.

”What do you think you are doing, Rose?” Juliusʼ eyes narrowed while an exasperated look appeared on his face.

”I should be the one to ask you that.” Rose coldly spat. ”You are trying to kill him without hearing what happened? Why? Just because he was about to kill your useless son?”

A hint of killing intent flickered within the depths of his eyes when he heard her and said in a chilling voice, ”Try not to push your luck, Rose. Otherwise, I may forget you are family.”

”Family?” Rose sneered, ”Do you think Iʼm a kid? When did you treat me like family? If not for faction rules…”

Speaking until here, she stopped, not wanting to continue on the topic as it would only anger her, and turned to Max, ”Tell us what happened. Why were you two fighting?”

Max glanced at Julius and others hovering in the air and then at Oliver, who was glaring at him resentfully while flying up toward his father. Only then did he look at Rose and slowly tell her everything.

When Rose heard Oliver had tried to force himself on her disciple, her expression became even colder while her eyes were filled with dense murderous intent.

[Too bad you failed to kill him.] She spoke to him through her divine sense. Sighing, she continued, [With Julius and others here, you most likely wouldnʼt get another chance. So, listen to me and forget about it for the time being.]

When she saw Max narrow his eyes, she added, [I want to kill him as much as you do, but we really canʼt do it unless we want to die. So, listen to me. I donʼt want my disciple to lose the man she loves more than everything.]

Max was silent for a few moments before he nodded and replied via his bloodline sense, surprising Rose, [I understand. I wonʼt be reckless.]

Hearing her say that even if she tried to kill him, she would also die, he realized the seriousness of the situation. He wasnʼt a fool who, despite knowing the consequences, would stupidly try to kill him again. Though it would be hard for him to control his impulses, he would wait, and the moment he got another chance, Oliver would die.

ʼI should take the opportunity and see if I can find a way to fight off my bloodlinesʼ influence.ʼ He thought. Then he asked, [How are you going to resolve the current situation, Lady Rose?]

Hearing his question, Rose suppressed her surprise and said, [You donʼt need to worry about it. Iʼll handle it.]

She then raised her head, looked at Julius, and started communicating with him.

Max watched as Julius frowned, his face darkened before he wore an icy expression, grabbed Oliver, and flew toward the war temple with the three emperors.

[You be careful from now on.] Rose said before following after them.

Max stood there, his gaze flickering and his brows furrowed in thought. In the end, he sighed, ”No matter how careful I try to be, trouble will still come knocking my way.”

He knew the newly arrived emperors would soon find out about him, his bloodline, and the extraordinary Death Energy. And more likely than not, they would come after him, if not openly, then covertly. Wyomin and Alton had already warned him about it, and he could also see it clearly.

For a moment, he thought about leaving, but could he escape the emperors? Fat chance! So, he decided to stay, hoping the alliance and war templeʼs rules would be enough to keep him safe for the time being.

…

When he returned to Martha and others, all the demons had left.

He was about to say something to Martha when he felt someone tap his shoulder.

Swoosh!

Instantly, he turned around, the Death Energy circulating in his mana veins, ready to use at a momentʼs notice.

”Whoa! Calm down! Iʼm no enemy!” The person said in an amused voice.

”You…!” Max raised his brows in surprise, recognizing him.
