Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 528  Emily's terror

Emily seemed to understand what he was worried about and shook her head, "Although I don't know what range this specific mark has, from what I read in the old records, these marks generally can only be sensed within 100-meter range."

Hearing this, Max sighed in relief. He didn't want every demon here to chase after him.

"Okay. You do what you want with him. I'll go change my dress." Emily said and moved toward the broken house they were hiding before.

Max glanced at her before turning his gaze to the demon. Walking over, he squatted down behind him and slapped his face.

Slap!

"Argh!"

The demon groaned and opened his eyes. When he saw Max, he was frightened but quickly calmed down and muttered, "Ah, you… are not… that devil… thank the heavenly demon." Hearing his mutterings, a weird expression appeared on his face and thought, 'Devil? Is he talking about Emily?'

Slap!

He then slapped the demon's face again, hard enough to cause pain, and revealed a sadistic smile, "Don't thank your god or demon yet because I'm worse than her."

"Argh!"

The demon groaned and finally came to his senses. Emily had already filled his heart with more than enough fear, making him surrender immediately and cry out loud, "P-Please have mercy. D-Don't torture me anymore."

Max's smile grew wider when he heard this. Thanking Emily in his mind for cutting his work short, he said, "I won't but… on one condition."

The demon hesitated. He knew whatever this condition was, it most definitely wasn't anything good.

"Hm? You are hesitating?" Max smirked and lifted his hand to slap him.

Seeing this, the demon revealed a fearful expression and hurriedly said, "N-No. I-I agree to your condition."

"That's good." Max nodded before asking, "But are you sure you don't want to hear what the condition is?"

Gulp!

The demon gulped nervously. He knew if he asked, he would be tortured until he agreed, so he shook his head, "N-No. There is no need."

"Good. Since you agree, relax your mind and don't resist." Max said and placed his right hand above the demon's forehead.

Swoosh!

Mana surged out and started condensing in an ancient mark, which exuded an oppressive aura.

Seeing this, the demon understood what Max was trying to do, and his eyes widened. He clenched his teeth and shouted, "You bastard! You want to make me your slave! DIE!!"

Whizz~!

Just as he shouted, a droning sound filled the air as his chest started swelling.

"Oh, fuck!" Max cursed, his expression turning grave. If he wasn't in the midst of activating the slave spell, he could've stopped him from self-detonation, but now he first needed to deactivate the spell before he could do it.

Although deactivating it wouldn't take more than a few seconds, the demon would've detonated himself by then. Therefore, even as he cursed, he covered his feet with mana and jumped back as fast as he could.

Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough and just when he was only 10 meters away,

BOOM!

The demon exploded, reducing the 5-7 meters of area around him into dust, and the resulting shockwaves hit Max in the back, flinging him away.

BANG!

Crack!

As the shockwave hit him, it was as though a sledgehammer had struck him and the sounds of bones creaking sounded out.

Puah!

Bang!

Even as he was flown away, he coughed out several mouthfuls of blood before crashing into the ground.

"…Damn… it." He cursed weakly while his eyes blurred out. He was on the verge of losing consciousness but gritted his teeth and held on because if he fainted now, the remaining half an hour or so of 2X bonus would be wasted. Whoosh!

Emily rushed over and knelt beside him, a worried expression on her face.

"…Max, are you… alright?" He heard her anxious but muffled voice due to him being disoriented.

"Agrh!" He groaned and shook his head to regain his senses before nodding, "Yeah... I'm.. alright."

"Don't move." She said, gently propping his head up and placing it in her lap. She then took and took out a few healing pills and put them in his mouth before using her mana to help him digest them.

As the gentle medicinal energy permeated his body and started healing his injuries, his blurry consciousness gradually became clear and he could finally see Emily's face worried face.

Seeing her expression, a slight smile appeared on his face and he said, "Don't worry. I'm fine now."

Emily looked at him and nodded a moment. She then glanced at the explosion site, her eyes flickering with killing intent. Noticing it, Max shivered. The demon had blown into smithereens but she still was so enraged. If he was alive, she no doubt would skin him alive.

Suddenly, Emily retracted her killing intent and looked down at him with a angry look in her eyes,

"Didn't I tell you, you won't be able to subdue them? But you had to go and almost lose your life."

"Uh? That..." Max was at a loss of words before he said, "I thought he wouldn't mind being my slave if he could live. Guess I was wrong."

Emily continued to glare at him, which made him anxious.

Just as he was about to say something to appease her, she coldly said, "Don't ever put your life at risk like this again."

"Yes!" Max obediently nodded.

"Hmm. Now, let's go away from this place. The explosion just now would certainly attract the demons' attention."

Emily said as she stood up and helped him up by putting his hand around her shoulders and her around his lower back--the least injured place on his whole back. They then left the place and hid in a broken house some distance away.

...

At the town's centre...

Unlike other broken houses and buildings in the town, the town lord's residence was still in fine condition and there were no demons rampaging about near it.

However, one could occasionally see a few demons go in with one or two town's young maidens before coming back out moments later. Then, the miserable cries of the girls would echo out from with the residence.

"Ahhhh!"

Two demons just came out after leaving a young girl inside and immediately heard her scream along with some pleasure filled grunts.

Hearing this, one of the demon duo revealed a look of dissatisfaction and complained,

"Fuck! Why do we have to be the ones to fetch the girls for the leader? I also want to enjoy some of these delicate human girls, but here I am, running errands."

Bam! As soon as he said this, the demon beside him smacked him in the back of his head and angrily said,

"Bastard! Keep your voice down! And Isn't it all because of you? If the leader hadn't seen you with that bitch from Miss Yin's group, we wouldn't be here wasting such good opportunity."

Just then,

Boom!

The town lord's residence blew up into pieces and an enraged voice rang out from within the rubble.

"How dare you?!"

Hearing this, the demon duo shuddered and color drained from their faces.

"D-Did he really hear me?" The demon who complained previously muttered in horror.
