Strongest Mage with the Lust system

When the other demons saw Mehak retreat despite how angry he was, they became fearful of Max. 

Why?

Because Mehak was the strongest of them all. Except for the second demoness who was a high-stage three-star, the rest of them were just middle-stage three-star demons.

Since even he felt danger from Max and had to retreat, they knew they weren\'t a match for Max, at least not in a one-on-one fight.

"Fuck!" 

Mehak growled in anger and humiliation when he realised what he had done. However, he didn\'t try to attack Max again and just watched as he walked over to Belen.

Belen didn\'t even notice him because she was too focused on torturing the scarred demoness.

Max sighed when he saw this. Although he didn\'t know what had happened, he knew it was something that had caused her a lot of pain which made her act so insanely.

He nodded at Emily and then crouched down in front of Belen. Extending his hands, he gently grabbed her face and made her look at him.

"Huh? Why aren\'t you fighting them?" She asked, confused when she saw him.

"I will fight them, but you need to come to your senses." He said, his anger in his chest grew even more when he saw her mangled hand, her disheveled appearance and her savage expression.

"I…" Belen was confused when she heard him and but quickly realised what he meant and then tears started flowing down her eyes.

"It\'s okay. I\'m here." Max said as he brought her into his embrace. This was the first time he saw her cry, and he felt in his heart.

"I\'ll make them pay in blood for what they did to you." He said, his voice growing colder.

Mehak\'s eyes flickered when he saw him completely drop his guard. He signalled his companions with his eyes and rushed toward him.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Other followed him. The demoness then went toward Amara and Leticia while Mehak and the other two demons rushed at Max and Emily.

"Hmph! You are overestimating yourself." Amara harrumphed coldly in demon language and released her bloodline energy at full force.

Boom!

The second demoness\' eyes widened when he heard her and saw are blood coloured energy crashing down toward her.

"Y-You are from the Bloodwing—"

"Cut the crap!" Amara appeared in front of her and then punched toward her head.

Although both were high-stage three-star demons, Amara didn\'t put the horned demoness in her eyes. She had, after all, awakened her bloodline and had the supreme technique of the blood demons given to her by the almighty \'senior\', who she didn\'t know has already been killed.

Seeing how disdainful Amara was of her, the horned demoness\' eyes narrowed as she became angry. 

No longer caring why a demon was helping humans, she circulated her demon energy, ready to counterattack, when suddenly…

Kuh!

She coughed out blood.

Her eyes widened in horror because her blood had started boiling and had gone out of her control.

"You… that\'s the blood demons\'…" she uttered in shock and immediately diverted her demon energy to control her blood while raising hands in front of her face to defend against her punch.

Amara revealed a cruel sneer and shifted the trajectory of her punch and punched at her stomach.

If the horned demoness wasn\'t struggling to suppress her roiling blood, she would have blocked it, but right now, she couldn\'t. 

Bang!

The punch landed in her gut, causing her to spit out a mouthful of blood, and her body curled forward. 

Because of the pain in her gut, she momentarily lost control of her raging blood and spat out another few mouthfuls of blood. Her nose and ears also started bleeding while her eyes turned bulged and turned blood red. It seemed as if the blood was going to burst out from them, too.

Seeing her struggling to control her blood while ignoring her, a wide smile appeared on Amara\'s blood-red lips and her eyes started turning red. She neared her and was about to land a killing blow, when she heard Max\'s shout, 

"Don\'t kill her."

"Mm?" Amara frowned, the blood glow receding from her eyes. She acknowledged his command and started beating the horned demoness.

Mehak and the other two, who were about to attack Max and Emily, were stunned when they saw Amara beat their companion like some rag doll and she couldn\'t defend at all.

"No wonder the blood demons are one of the most feared races among the demons." Mehak commented and then ordered the two demons by his side, "One of you, go help her."

"Yes." One of them immediately moved toward Amara.

Emily frowned when she saw this and wanted to intercept him, but Max stopped her. "Let him go. It won\'t make a difference."

Emily nodded and stopped.

Max broke the hug with Belen, stood up and asked her while pointing at the demon beside Mehak, "Can you handle this guy? He is just a mid-stage three-star demon."

Thanks to the system\'s improved [Status] function, he could see everyone\'s cultivation level. That was also why he allowed that demon to go, because he was just a mid-stage three-star demon, nothing Amara couldn\'t handle easily.

However, Emily was just an early-stage three-stage mage, so he was worried she might not be a match for him.

"I can," Emily expressionlessly said while eyeing the demon.

The demon narrowed his eyes at her when he heard this. 

From what Max said, he understood she had a weaker cultivation level than him, but she still said she could handle him. Wasn\'t she underestimating him too much?

Then they both moved to the side to fight their own battle.

"She will die." Mehak smirked at Max.

"She won\'t." Max said, "But you will."

A murderous glint flashed in Mehak\'s eyes, and the black horn atop his head started humming faintly.

As soon as it started humming, Max felt chills run down his spine and a feeling of dread crept up into his heart.
