Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Max was sitting cross-legged, circulating his mana and the medicinal energy of the healing pills to heal his wounds, while Emily was sitting to the side, watching him.

As she watched the nasty wound on his back visibly heal, her widened in surprise. She knew he had only taken a couple of three-star healing pills and, from what she knew, that shouldn't have such fast and effective healing effect.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, she squinted her eyes because she noticed that a faint pink glow was covering his wound.

'What is this?' She frowned and then her eyes flashed. 'Is it… a bloodline energy? But how is that possible—'

Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she thought, 'Maybe he inherited this bloodline from aunt Hannah?'

With suspicious eyes, she continued to stare at his quickly mending wound and her amazement continued to multiply.

Meanwhile, Max became ecstatic in his heart when he felt this.

'Amazing! I never thought this bloodline can boost my regeneration ability so much. If I'm not wrong, my current regeneration power isn't any weaker than a mage with wood affinity.'

He mused and then thought, 'I know I can, or… will be able to use the bloodline's aura tendrils to boost my attacks by several folds. I wonder what more surprises this bloodline will bring me?'

After ten minutes later, his internal injuries were almost completely healed while the wound on his back was 80% healed too.

Just then,

Buzz!

He felt his communication crystal buzz in his storage ring. Opening his eyes, he quickly took it out and checked the message.

[I'm team 2's leader. The other two in my team have already been killed and I also won't last long. The demons have found out about us. They have multiple four-star demons, don't fight, esc—ahhhhh!]

"Damn it!" Max's face darkened, and he almost crushed the crystal in anger.

"What is it, Max?" Emily asked when she noticed this.

Hu~!

Max took a deep breath, injected his mana into the crystal and said, "Rey, immediately take Ellie and her mother out of the town. This is an order."

Hearing this, Emily frowned. She knew something had happened and asked, "Have the demons found about us?"

"Yes." Max nodded heavily. "Not only that, they have eliminated team 2 and will soon come for the rest of us."

Emily's expression hardened at the news. After a moment of silence, she looked at him and carefully asked, "What do you plan to do now? Continue hunting them or flee from here?"

"Now that they are already hunting us down, we can't do it." Max said, closing his eyes, "We can flee, but we have to leave right now, meaning we will be leaving the rest of our group behind…"

Boom!

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and his aura and mana burst forth in waves and he said in a frighteningly calm voice, "We will fight."

Emily wasn't surprised with his decision but her brows shot up when she noticed a faint pinkish hue in his aura and her surprise grew into shock when his aura enveloped her because, even though he wasn't trying to suppress her, she felt her breathing slow down and an enormous pressure pressing down on her.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

She hurriedly took a few steps back, each step breaking the ground, but to her shock, despite retreating over 5 meters, she was still in his aura sphere.

Normally, after a three-star mage fully develops his aura, it's range won't exceed 3 meters. But right now, she was over 7 meters away from him but was still affected, meaning his aura sphere was more than double of a normal aura sphere.

Suppressing the shock in his heart, she gritted her teeth and shouted out, "MAX! Stop it!"

"Hm?" Her voice brought him to his senses, and he quickly realized what he was doing. The current power of his aura, which was a lot stronger than before, also shocked him.

'This bloodline… it can make my aura stronger too? Isn't that too overpowered?' He thought, hurriedly retracting his aura and raging mana.

Thud!

Emily wobbled and fell to her knees, the sound attracting his attention. When he looked over, he saw her face was deathly pale and her breathing strained.

Whoosh!

His figure flickered, and he appeared beside her, taking her in his arms.

"Are you alright? Did you get injured?" He asked, worried.

Emily took out a vitality pill, ate it, and took a few deep breaths. Her face gradually regained color, making him sigh in relief.

She then looked at him, opened her mouth to ask what was happening with him, what that pink energy was, but hesitated. She knew it was his secret and she shouldn't ask this.

Max noticed this, sighed in his heart and said, "If you want to ask something, don't hesitate. Ask away."

Emily looked into his eyes and saw he was serious and would tell her everything if she asked. Noticing this, a brilliant smile appeared on her face, making her look as beautiful as an angel. She then shook her head, "Nope. I don't want to ask anything."

"Are you sure?" Max asked, peeling his eyes away from her face with difficulty.

"Yep! I'm sure." She nodded and changed the topic, "Should we gather with the others now?"

"Yeah. Let me ask where they are." Max nodded and sent the message to the remaining two teams, asking about their whereabouts.

A moment later, both teams responded. They were hiding right now, afraid that the demons will come for them too.

He quickly told them about his plan and both teams agreed, because they also knew escaping would be a problem. 

"Team 2 on the western part of the town, you guys stay put. We'll regroup with you and then retaliate. Be careful!" He said before putting away the communication crystal and rushed with Emily toward the team in the western direction—which was also nearest to them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The duo shot out of the broken house, their speed so fast that even an early-stage three-star mage won't be able to see them running past them.
