Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 651  Panic

Emily and Lily weren\'t surprised because while fighting they were paying attention to one another, unlike Pauline, who was single mindedly fighting.

"Eh?!" Pauline was started. She gave her a strange look and asked, "Then why do you look so happy?"

"Because I learned a lot from them." Sera said, looking satisfied. But then her face fell, "I wanted to continue fighting them, but they became weaker after a while. After killing them, I wanted to find someone else to fight but there was no demon left."

"Oh, I understand. Very good, Little Sera." Pauline smiled, hiding a twitch of her lips.

"It was your first time killing someone, right?" Lily asked, remembering her first kill, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Sera smiled, "No sister Lily. I have killed before. So, I feel fine now."

Even as she said this, a disgusted and sad look appeared on her face. Despite knowing she hadn\'t done anything wrong, she didn\'t like the fact she had taken someone\'s life.

Lily became concerned and wanted to comfort her, but Max stopped her with a look. It was important that she thought about it and overcame it on her own.

"Alright, let\'s rest. We have no time to waste."

…

Ten minutes soon passed and the group resumed the journey.

Everyone was more tense this time, and was constantly looking around.

To their relief, they encountered no demons for the next two hours. Everyone started relaxing a little, and since they were already tired from fighting, the fast paced journey and the tension made them exhausted, which made them a lot less vigilant.

Wyomin, noticing this, waved her hand toward the crowd.

Swoosh!

Droplets of water appeared in the sky before falling down on everyone with unerring accuracy, not one drop fell on the ground and was wasted.

"What\'s this? Rain?"

Everyone was startled for a moment.

"It\'s lady Wyomin\'s spell." Someone shouted.

"Is she worried we will fall asleep while walking?" A woman who was very exhausted, sneered in mockery.

However, in the next moment, her eyes widened when the droplets fell on her and her exhaustion rapidly vanished.

…

Sera\'s eyes shone as the droplets of water touched her and were absorbed into her skin.

"How marvelous!" She muttered, seeing this kind of water recovery spell for the first time.

\'Will I be able to use my water magic to do the same one day?\' She couldn\'t help but think.

Just then, Max said, "It\'s not just Water magic… there is another element mixed in." "There is Light Element too." Lily nodded before saying, "To be able to so expertly blend in the Light Element\'s rejuvenation properties in her water spell… she must have comprehended either Light or Water law."

"Oh? I won\'t be able to use it then." Sera said in disappointment.

Just then, Wyomin\'s voice sounded in her head.

[You can use it even if you haven\'t awakened the Light Element, though it will be a lot harder to do so.]

Hearing the voice, Sera\'s eyes shone and she instinctively looked in Wyomin\' direction.

Max and others, noticing this, realized she must have received a mental communication from her.

"Did that Lady Emperor talk to you just now, Little Sera? What did she say?" Pauline asked in excitement. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Lily and Emily also looked at her. Unlike them, however, Max wasn\'t happy.

From the excited glint in her eyes, he could tell Wyomin had told her something good, but he would rather she did not talk to her. Or anyone else from his group for that matter.

At least not until they were strong enough to protect themselves even against an Emperor Mage like her. Until then, he didn\'t want any attention on them.

Though he wished that, after their performance in the battle two hours ago, he knew Alton and Wyomin had already noticed them. Not to mention his and Lily\'s display of strength, just Sera and Emily\'s Superior Mana Control was more than enough to attract their attention after all.

\'Hope this doesn\'t cause any problems.\' He sighed,

"She… Lady Wyomin just told me it isn\'t necessary to possess the Light Element to use this spell. Just the Water element will do." Sera explained, excited.

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, but not too much as they had heard of the elemental spells like this one. However, they weren\'t too popular because it was too hard to master them for obvious reasons.

"Since she told me this, it must mean I can find this spell in the War Temple…" She muttered, "I wonder how many War Merits I would need to buy it…" She infused her will into the Merit Plate and her excitement faded.

[600 War Merits]

"Don\'t worry too much about merits, sister Sera." Lily smiled, "There will be more than enough demons for you to kill and gain the required merits. And even if that isn\'t enough, I, young master and sister Emily can let you borrow ours."

Max smiled while Emily nodded.

Pauline also chimed in, "You can have mine too, Little Sera. I probably won\'t need too many of them anyway."

Sera felt her heart warming, but just as she was about to respond to them…

"Enemies Ahead! Get ready!"

Alton\'s warning sounded.

Immediately, everyone became alert and their gaze focused on the path ahead where in the distance they saw a large horde of red-haired and red-eyed humanoid demons rushing toward them.

"So many!" Sera exclaimed while everyone else\'s expressions hardened when they realized this horde had way more demons than the last one–around two to three thousand.

Just a while ago, to kill just over a thousand, over five hundred of them had fallen and it was when the demon side was heavily outnumbered.

This meant, even if the strength of this horde was similar to the last one, they would lose around two or three times more people.

"This is going to be dangerous." Max muttered before saying, "Remember to stay close to me, alright? Until I say so, don\'t go too far."

"Yes." Lily, Sera and Emily nodded.

Pauline looked at him and worriedly asked, "What about me? If I stay near you, you\'ll protect me too, right?"

"I will." Max nodded before saying, "However, I don\'t think you will stay near us." "No. I will not rush away this time." Pauline staunchly said,

"Alright then."

By the time they finished talking, the demon horde was only around half a mile away from them and this distance was rapidly closing.

Boom!

When both sides clashed a while later, the demons arrived in Max\'s bloodline sense\' range. When he felt their cultivation level, his expression changed for the worse.

Unlike the last time, this time almost twenty percent of the demons were in the Five Star realm and several of them were peak Five Star, something the human side only had a few dozen.

He told the ladies about his find and their expression grew dignified. Fuller Family\'s group and some other people around them also overheard him and they began to panic.

"Is what you said true? There are several hundred Five Star demons in this horde?" Boom!
