Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 670  Rothchild

Alton lightly nodded. Then his dark pupils turned yellow as several tiny yellow electric bolts flickered within them.

Then he unhurriedly raised his hand and... grabbed the fist.

Pat!

There was no massive collision, no destructive shockwave... There was nothing but the faint slapping sound produced when the fist met the palm. It was as if the demon emperor hadn\'t used any strength at all, which obviously was not true. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The demon\'s expression turned dark, horror filling his blood-red eyes.

The moment his fist had touched his palm, he had lost all strength, not only in his punch but also in his entire body.

Right now, he could not utilize even a shred of his impressive physical strength, his demonic energy, or his bloodline energy. He helplessly tried to retreat, only to fail.

"...Let me be the first Rothchild to kill a demon emperor in this war." Alton finished his sentence and slowly raised his other hand. Putting his index and middle fingers together, he pointed them at the demon\'s forehead.

Rumble!

The ground quaked, and air shook as a massive amount of mana erupted out of him and rapidly condensed into tiny yellow electric bolts that concentrated on his fingertips.

Seeing this, the demon panicked. He knew if his fingers touched his head, he would definitely die because this attack… It wasn\'t as simple as it seemed.

This finger attack called [Total Death] was one of the few infamous abilities of the Rothchild Family, one of the founding factions of the Central Plains\' alliance.

To this date, there had been very few people in the same realm who got hit with it and lived to tell the tale.

Absolutely horrified, the demon emperor shouted. "What are you doing? Save me!"

Swoosh!

Right as his voice sounded, a figure materialized beside him.

"You are a complete idiot, Arivand. Didn\'t I tell you to be careful and not let him touch you, but you went ahead and offered yourself to him?" The figure scolded, disdain clear in their voice.

Alton shifted his gaze to the new arrival—an eight-foot tall, strong-looking, purple-horned demon.

This demon was also an emperor rank demon, just like Qumo and Arivand, and he was the one who sneak attacked Max.

After retreating last time, Qumo and Arivand didn\'t only recruit more Five Star members of their tribe; they also got in contact with him and told him about Max.

Though they wanted to kill him themselves or had him die in their tribe members\' hands so they could claim rewards the leading demon tribes had set for eliminating threats like Max, after witnessing how strange his Death Energy was, they had a feeling their tribesmen wouldn\'t be able to kill him. So they had to have a plan B. And this horned demon was it.

Not only was he able to stay hidden from those in the emperor realm, his purple-horned lineage\'s ability made him the perfect candidate to fight Alton, who Arivand had already recognized as a Rothchild family\'s member after their first brief confrontation.

According to their original plan, if their tribesmen weren\'t able to kill Max, he was to take action, kill him, and escape.

If Alton and Wyomin couldn\'t find him, they would have no choice but to suck it up.

However, to their dismay, Max survived.

When he didn\'t escape after the first attack, they knew their plan had gone downhill and they would have no choice but to fight.

"Help me!" Arivand glared at him.

Alton\'s gaze flickered with interest as he asked, "So, you are one of those mental type horned demons?"

"Of course. If I was not, how could I have dared to face a damned Rothchild?" The horned demon sounded calm, but the look in his eyes was grave.

Though he had awakened the mental type bloodline ability of his lineage, which was effective against the Rothchild family\'s mental paralysis spell, he knew it alone wasn\'t enough to face a Rothchild—their mental type purple-horned demon lineage\'s natural enemy.

If it had been enough, so many of his ancestors wouldn\'t have lost their lives to Rothchilds over the years.

Still, since he didn\'t plan to fight him to death and Alton was just a mid-stage emperor mage in the same realm as him, he wasn\'t too worried.

His horn shone with a purple light and shot a beam into Arivand\'s body, neutralizing Alton\'s paralysis spell\'s effects.

Arivand regained control over his body and sighed in relief.

However, when he noticed Alton\'s didn\'t seem bothered by it and in fact had a disdainful look in his eyes as he looked at them, he felt his heart drop.

"What are you waiting for? Retreat!" The horned demon emperor shouted, preparing to flee.

Boom!

Arivand didn\'t hesitate and released his aura sphere. He circulated his demonic energy and bloodline energy at full force, increasing his strength to the peak.

Then he slapped at Alton\'s hand, wanting to force him to release his hand. This slap didn\'t only contain his full physical strength, demonic, and bloodline energy; it also had his comprehension of earth law—Whisperer of Earth—increasing its power even more.

To humans, it might seem like the demons didn\'t possess elemental affinities since they mostly used their demonic energy and physical strength. But it wasn\'t true.

Just like humans, they also had innate elemental affinities, but unlike humans, the level of their affinities and the kind of element didn\'t determine their strength—at least not until they became King ranked demons—because their demonic energy was a superior form of energy to all kinds of elemental mana.

Just by using demonic energy, they could suppress the human mages who used elemental spells.

Because of this, the demons focused on increasing the affinities of demonic energy to control it better.

And since only a strong vessel could safely contain the highly corrosive and violent demonic energy, they also focused on strengthening their bodies from the beginning because, unlike what humans liked to believe, not all demons had stronger bodies at birth.

Usually, only after they reach the Four Star realm do they start to focus more on their elements.
