Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 688  Overwhelming Pain

Phew!

Max exhaled in relief and muttered, "Thank you. I\'ll be sure to repay you for this."

After saying this, he swept his blurry gaze over the five demon kings before falling to his knees, unconscious.

Though he had physically completely recovered from all his injuries he suffered due to Alijah\'s attack a few hours ago, he mentally had not.

Then, the exhaustion of his intense workout with Lily and Sera piled up. Immediately after that he started fighting.

The fight with the first demon king had already exhausted him enough that his body and mind had started begging him to rest.

After that, he fought with the five demon kings, thoroughly draining himself, both mentally and physically. For the last couple of minutes, he had been relying on his sheer will power and adrenaline to remain awake.

So, the moment he realized he was out of danger, his mind shut down.

The demon kings, not knowing who had helped him, frowned and prepared to attack him when Wyomin\'s figure materialized in front of Max.

"Scram!" She shouted.

The demon kings\' eyes widened in shock when they felt her aura and immediately turned on their heels and rushed away.

Since the demon leaders\' had already ordered a retreat, the battle was over. So, her saving Max just now wasn\'t breaking the rules. If it was, the demon emperors would\'ve already descended.

In the sky, Vigil cast a last glance at Max, a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and left with the other demon emperors.

Lady Verana watched them leave. When they had disappeared, she said, "Tell Wyomin to put that kid in the Temple\'s grade seven Recovery Room. She can use my authorization for that."

Once she was finished speaking, her figure soundlessly disappeared.

Tristen and the four emperors beside him had surprised looks on their faces.

"That kid, he is very lucky to get the attention of Lady Verana." One of the four emperors muttered, a hint of envy in his voice.

Tristen glanced at him and scoffed, "If you were as… incredible as him or had the same potential he has shown when you were in the Four Star realm, you would\'ve received her favor too. Not only hers; even alliance grand elders would\'ve paid special attention to you."

"Hey, I was just casually saying. No need to mock me." The emperor smiled wryly.

Tristen chuckled and conveyed Lady Verana\'s message to Wyomin before heading toward the War Temple.

Swoosh!

The emperors followed him.

…

A surprised look appeared on Wyomin\'s face when she heard Tristen\'s message. But a moment later, she frowned before sighing.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just as she was about to pick Max up, Emily, Lily, Sera, and Pauline came over, followed by Martha, Williams, and Fullers.

Wyomin raised her brows when she felt Emily\'s aura, but the moment Emily arrived near Max and crouched beside him, it disappeared, making her think if what she had sensed was right. But being an emperor mage, she knew it was, and this gave her another surprise.

\'Just what is going on? Are they really from this small kingdom?\' She thought, glancing at Max, Emily, Lily, Sera, and Martha before looking at Kriss, who was coming over with the Martell family\'s group.

Seeing Emily, Lily, and Sera becoming emotional, she spoke up, "He is alright. There is no need to worry."

"Then why is he unconscious?" Pauline asked,

"He just lost quite a bit of his blood and was just too exhausted." Wyomin said before saying, "Now, if you would let me, I can place him in the War Temple\'s special recovery room, where he will be back to his perfect health in… less than an hour."

"Okay." Lily and Sera nodded, but Emily acted as though she didn\'t hear anything and continued staring at Max in a daze.

Lily sighed and placed a hand on her shoulder before gently saying, "Sister Emily, please let Lady Wyomin help him. He\'ll return to us soon."

"Huh? Yeah. Sure." Emily snapped out of her daze; after nodding to Wyomin in thanks, she rushed away without saying anything.

Lily frowned in worry. Glancing at Sera, she said, "I\'ll go after her."

Saying this, she rushed after Emily, but just a minute later, she returned. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Noticing her, Sera asked, "Where is she?"

Lily shook her head. "I lost track of her after just a few hundred meters. I tried looking around, but couldn\'t find her."

"How is that possible? I know she is fast, but her speed shouldn\'t be a problem for you." Pauline interjected.

Lily didn\'t respond to that. Instead, she asked, "Lady Wyomin took the young master?"

"Yes." Sera nodded. "Good. We\'ll just rest and wait here. Sister Emily should return before the young master." Lily said,

Pauline frowned, "I think we should go find Emily. She seemed emotionally unstable. We should be there with her at this time."

19:07

Lily shook her head and sighed. "No. There is no need to. Sister Emily just needs some time alone with her thoughts."

Pauline narrowed her eyes.

…

While they were talking, Emily had left the battlefield and found a secluded spot. Taking out an isolation and a defensive formation disk, she activated them. Then… she raised her head and let out a loud, anguished howl.

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!"

She then started tearing her clothes apart, revealing her flawless, moon-white skin, which was rapidly turning red, her veins pulsating with the rhythm of her heart that was beating rapidly now, seemingly wanting to break out of her chest.

She tried sitting down in meditation to calm her heart rate and blood flow, but it was of no use.

"It\'s too painful!" She gnashed her teeth so hard that her teeth creaked and her gums started bleeding while her neck muscles became so taut that it seemed they would snap.

After a few minutes, her blood started boiling, literally, in her veins, which made her nauseous and caused her to vomit out blood.

\'Am I going to die?\'
