Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 808: Ahng~

”Whatʼs with that look?” Gene narrowed her eyes when she saw him looking at her with a strange look.

”Nothing.” Max shook his head, not wanting to trouble himself by telling her what he was thinking.

”Hmph!” Gene hurrumped in displeasure and thought, ʼYou are lucky you are helping Granny; otherwise, I wouldnʼt have let it go, humph!ʼ

Max shook his head inwardly when he felt her indignant emotions.

ʼWomen are really complex creatures. Just a look can upset them so much.ʼ

Not long after, they arrived at the Fuller estate. The main entrance was wide open, and several peopleʼs dried-up corpses, who were probably on guard duty at the moment the sacrificial formation activated, were lying there.

After taking a glance at them, he entered the estate, his expression not changing in the slightest. In his heart, however, the situation was different.

He wouldnʼt mind if everyone else from the Fuller family died, but he wouldnʼt be able to endure it if something had happened to Seraʼs adoptive mother, Riva; her sister, Sophie; and especially Claire, her son, Ruo, and her grandfather.

Unfortunately, as he entered the estate deeper and saw corpses lying around, the hope he held in his heart was getting smaller and smaller.

If the Fuller family had the capabilities to save his close ones, they should have saved their own people too, but… this was clearly not the case.

From the entrance, Rivaʼs manor was closest, so he first went there.

The gates were wide open. As he entered the place, he noticed the corpses of servants and maids.

Although there wasnʼt any change in Maxʼs expression, nor did his footsteps slow or get faster, and his body language was also the same, Gene, walking a step behind him, could feel the air around him getting heavier.

Without her knowing, she had held her breath and made her footsteps so light that she had stopped making any noise altogether.

…

A while later, the duo walked out of the manor.

They had scoured the entire manor but didnʼt find any trace of Riva and Sophie, which gave him a slight hope that they might still be alive.

They then arrived at the guest houses, and… they didnʼt find Claire and others either.

Just as Max was thinking about going to check the family headʼs manor, Gene walked out from the house, holding a letter.

”Hey, I found this,” She said with a relieved look on her face.

Seeing her expression, his flicker of hope intensified, and he immediately started reading the letter.

After he was done reading, he trembled due to the surge of happiness and relief that coursed through him.

Seeing this, Gene smiled and secretly sighed in relief, ʼWhew! Now, I can finally relax around him.ʼ

The letter was addressed to Max, and it was from Claire.

When the sacrificial formation was activated, Riva and Sophie were with them. It was no coincidence because after he, Emily, Lily, and Sera left for the battlefield, Riva and Sophie spent most of their time with Claire and others, not wanting them to feel alone.

While everyone else froze when they felt that overwhelming sense of danger take root in their heart, Little Ruoʼs body suddenly burst with a strange glow that enveloped them.

After a minute or so, she suddenly fell unconscious, which made them concerned about her. Riva left to find some medicine for her, but when she returned, it was not with medicine but a horrified look on her face.

Upon asking her, they found everyone had died.

Not knowing what had happened, they became scared and stayed inside the guest house, hoping whatever had killed them wouldnʼt find them.

Then, several hours later, some people—from the Royal family—found them and told them about the event that took place.

In the end, Claire had written that they left with the survivors of the city for the Central Plains under the Royal familyʼs lead.

After regaining his composure, Max led Gene to the Arasia familyʼs estate. He scoured the entire estate, and when he didnʼt find any corpse that resembled Flavia, he sighed in relief and murmured, ”Please be safe. Iʼll soon find you.”

”Letʼs go,”

After a moment, he suddenly wrapped his hand around Geneʼs waist.

Geneʼs eyes went wide, but before she could say anything or move away from his grasp, he activated [Phoenixʼs Wings] and rushed back toward the outskirts of the city, heading back to the house where his family was.

…

Swoosh!

Arriving in front of the house, Max released Gene, deactivated [Phoenixʼs Wings], and rushed inside, leaving a red-faced and disheveled-haired Gene standing there.

”Argh! What a rogue! Didnʼt even give me a heads-up.” She stomped the ground in anger before walking in.

”Where is that hateful—”

She asked angrily, wanting to vent her anger on him, but stopped mid-sentence when she noticed everyone had odd looks on their faces and were trying to avoid looking at her.

Frowning, she was about to go to Anna and ask what was wrong, but when she saw her dark expression, she changed direction and went over to Ellie.

”What is it? Why do you all have that strange expression?” She asked in a low voice,

Ellieʼs expression turned cold, and she said through gritted teeth, ”H-He… that pervert, he took your granny into the room.”

”Oh? Whatʼs wrong with that?” Gene asked, thinking he must be helping her heal.

ʼBut there was no need to be so much in a rush, no?ʼ As this thought crossed her mind, she also found this a little strange but didnʼt think much about it.

Ellie opened her mouth to say something but shook her head. ”Letʼs not talk about—”

Ahng~

Just as she began speaking, a loud and sensual moan reverberated in the house, silencing her.

Her eyes went wide before her face flushed red.

”That scoundrel!” She bit her lip, her eyes becoming moist.

Esther, Noah, Ella, and Mariaʼs expressions turned awkward while Annaʼs face went blank before a mixture of disbelief, anger, jealousy, and heartache flashed in her eyes.

She then stood up and silently left the house.
