Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 533 Cunning



“If I’m not wrong, you have some artifact that lets you see how strong someone is, right?” Nix asked, his expression turning calm, as though his strongest underling hadn’t just been killed.

“Oh? Why do you think so?” Max asked, again surprised.

“It’s not too hard to guess seeing how you went after the second strongest in my group. If I’m not wrong, two of your companions should be early-stage four-star mages who you intend to take care of my two early-stage four-star demons, right?” 

Nix said, his darting over to Emily and the elves.

Emily looked at Max’s back in surprise and thought, ‘No wonder he directly went in for the kill.’ 

The elves were also surprised upon hearing that Max could see how strong someone was, because such an artifact that let you do it, were not common. They also felt relieved because Max didn’t look worried right now, meaning he believed they could handle the demons.

However, Nix’s next sentence made them freeze.

Seeing that Max didn’t deny it, Nix knew his guess was correct and said, 

“From your attack just now, I can see you are ‘almost’ as fast as a high-stage four-star mage, but your strength is only enough to contend against a mid-stage four-star being.”

“Of course, if you can make use of your sword, killing a high-stage or even a peak four-star being wouldn’t be too difficult for you. Unfortunately for you, you can’t use it to its full potential and without it, you are powerless against a high-stage being.”

Speaking until here, his eyes gleamed with curiosity as he asked, “Which makes me curious about something. Thanks to your artifact, you should know how strong I am, so why are you so confident that you can kill me, a high-stage four-star demon?”

“What?!” The four-star elves blurted out in shock. The male elf looked at Max and asked in a trembling voice, “L-Leader, is that true? He… is he really a high-stage four-star demon?”

Looking at him and the other elves, whose faces were drained of color, Max sighed. He never planned to tell them about Nix’s strength and wanted to handle him on his own so they wouldn’t be overcome with fear like right now.

Also, Emily, who until now, was standing behind him, not looking concerned, frowned and walked over to stand beside him. Although she didn’t say anything, it was clear she didn’t want him to fight Nix on his own.

Max sighed and looked at him, his eyes flashing with cold light. He knew Nix deliberately announced his cultivation realm. He wanted to lower the elves’ morale so they wouldn’t be able to fight with their all might and he had to admit; he succeeded in doing so.

“Until now, I only encountered straightforward demons, so I forgot that you guys are famous for more than one thing, one of which is your cunning and craftiness.” Max said, shaking his head.

“As for your question… it’s true I can’t make use of my sword perfectly because of insufficient cultivation,” He said, clenching the sword hilt tightly, “I can still kill you.”

Boom!

His aura burst out, pushing Emily and the elves away.

Then,

Swoosh!

Then [Pheonix Wings] appeared on his back once again, this time looking even more real. The demons behind instinctively retreated while raising their defences, fearing that Max would target them.

Nix’s expression hardened when he felt Max’s aura. Although he wasn’t in his aura sphere, he could feel it was different from any type of aura he had encountered until now and, despite not feeling dangerous, he couldn’t take it lightly.

Boom!

Therefore, he also released his aura and demon energy, and grunted, “We shall see it.”

Then, almost at the same time,

Whoosh!

Both of them disappeared from their places and when they appeared, they were in the middle of the both groups, Max’s sword and Nix’s black energy covered fist pressing against each other.

CLANG!!

A loud metallic ‘clang’ resounded, and a shockwave erupted from the sword and fist’s collision.

Whoosh!

They disappeared once again, appeared a few meters on the left and clashed again, the generated shockwave breaking the ground under them. 

Whoosh!

Clang!

Whoosh!

Bang!

“How fast!”

The male four-star elf muttered, his eyes glued to their figures.

The female four-star elf looked at them and then at the demons on the other side, who were also looking at Max and Nix clashing and her eyes flashed.

She arrived beside Emily, who she deemed to be in charge since Max was busy, and suggested in a low voice, 

“Miss, while Leader is keeping that demon busy and those demons are distracted, let’s attack them. According to Leader, there are only two early-stage four-stage demons remaining. We can easily take them down if we suddenly attack now. As for the rest, they will be easy pickings afterwards.”

“Mm?” 

Emily raised her brows when she heard this and looked at the demons across them. She contemplated for a while and then shook her head. 

“No. We can’t attack just yet.”

“Why not? It’s the best chance.” The elf frowned.

Emily glanced at her and saw her eyes flashing with madness, and sighed. She then calmly shook her head and said, “Although it seems this is the best opportunity to finish them, it is not.”

She then glanced at Nix, her expression becoming serious, “Although Max is strong, that demon isn’t weak, in fact, he is stronger than him. If we target his underlings, he can easily throw Max off and kill us. Wait until Max can suppress him, then we can move.”

The elf frowned and looked at the ongoing battle once again. And sure enough, she could see Max struggling.

She took a deep breath to calm her nerves, glanced at Emily and asked, “Miss, since the leader isn’t as strong as that demon, how would he suppress him?”

“Wait and you’ll see,” Emily said, her gaze focused on Max.

A hundred or so meters away, Miss Yin stood behind a broken house with her group of demons and watched the ongoing battle, her eyes flashing with delight.
