Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 77 Ice Sovereign Mountain

ʼThis woman is not ordinary. Could she also be a Monrach level mage? But why is she staring at Lilly like that?ʼ Max frowned. He felt uncomfortable seeing that this white haired woman staring at his woman.

Lilly also noticed her piercing gaze and shivered. Others also noticed this and found it weird.

Max stood up and walked up to Lilly. Ashton, Amelia and others tensed seeing this. They were afraid that Max might offend this mysterious lady. Timon on the other hand, rejoiced.

Max didnʼt even look at the white haired woman and hugged Lilly. Lilly was feeling nervous with the woman staring at her. So, when Max hugged her, she buried her head in his chest and calm down.

Seeing this, the woman finally moved her eyes away from Lilly and looked at Max and frowned. She coldly asked ”Who are you to her?” After saying this she released her aura.

Max, Lilly and Esther took a few steps backwards. Cold sweat was trickling down their backs. Max looked at her with a hint of fear in his eyes, he was now sure that she was a king mage at the very least. He had felt the same kind of supression from Crimson monarch. The only difference was that he wasnʼt blown back. But even so he stood in front of Lilly and Esther and said ”Her husband. Who are you? And why are you here.”

The white haired woman didnʼt speak and focused her aura on him. Max suddenly felt pressure rising on him exponentially. His teeth started clattering and large beads of sweat starting forming on his forehead. A hint on surprise flickered for an instant in her eyes.

Initially, Ashton was being cautious because he could feel that she was much stronger than him and if she wanted to kill them, no one would here survive. But now that she was torturing his son, he grew furious.

”How dare you treat my son like this in front of me?” The air around him trembled, his clothes started to flutter and he disappeared from where he was standing and appeared only a few meter away from the woman. Without any hesitation he shot out his crescent wind blade, aiming at her neck.

Swish!

Crescent blade cut through the wind and in blink of an eye, it was about cut her neck off. The white haired woman retracted her aura and casually swiped her finger. There was  naked contempt in her eyes seeing him attack her.

Crack!

The terrifying wind blade which could cut through even a three starred defensive type beastʼs body like a tofu, was frozen before it could reach her neck. It fell down and broke apart.

Everyone stared at this scene in horror. Although Ashton and other three star mages present guessed that this woman was powerful, they didnʼt expect her to be this strong. She could even freeze a wind blade.

After the pressure was lifted, Max gasped for air. He felt helpless at this moment as he couldnʼt even handle the the pressure of her aura. He knew that he couldnʼt do anything about it if she wanted to do something to Lilly.

The woman glanced at Ashton and said coldly ”Do you men never use your brains? If I had bad intentions, I wouldʼve already killed you all with lifting a single finger.”

Although her words were infuriating, it was true. They were now clear that even if all of them ganged up on her, they would just die a meaningless death.

”If you donʼt have any bad intentions, why are you here and who are you?” Max asked trying to keep his voice calm.

”You donʼt qualify to know my name but I can tell you that Iʼm from Ice sovereign mountain. I happen to see this little girl fighting on her way here. I recognised her talent therefore i want her to go with me to cultivate in the mountain for a few years. I didnʼt want to take her away without her and her familyʼs consent thatʼs why I had to follow her here.” The white haired woman said, her voice as cold as usual.

Max subconsciouy wanted to reject when he heard that she wanted to take Lilly away from him but his words stuck in his throat when he recalled that she said she was from Ice sovereign mountain. He looked at her in shock.

Esther who was standing behind Max looked at her, she was also shocked. ”You- You are from Ice sovereign mountain?” She stutter as she asked. 

”Oh? You seem to know about it.” Then she glanced at Max and seeing his shocked expression she said ”And you too. Then, itʼll make things easier for me.”

Ashton and Madam Mari were also shocked as they also knew what Ice sovereign mountain was. As for the rest of the people present, they had no clue about it.

The magic academies and other institutions which helped people to become strong and guide through their mage life were classified in different levels.

The magic academies that has at least one four star mage or lower were classified as lower graded groups. The academies that has five star mages or six star mages ( King level mages) were in the category of middle graded groups.

Normally Common population find it difficult to join even lower grade academies due to their high requirements but one could still get in using some connections or authority. As for middle grade academies or institutions, Green leaf kingdom didnʼt have one. So the difficulty level can only be imagined. But it is rumoured that only a rare few who has awakened their element and reach a certain power level before 25 or so age has chance to join.

Top graded institutions were very few compared to middle and lower graded ones. There wasnʼt much information about them.

There was a old legend that there are some institutions that surpassed the top graded ones in power but no one knew if it was true or not.

Ice sovereign mountain is said to be one of these legendary institutions. It is rumoured that the Ice sovereign mountain was established by an ʼIce supremeʼ. One can only be called supreme when he has transcended the monarch realm.

Supreme mage realm is the known limit of power one can achieve in this world. In the past tens of thousands of years, not even a single supreme mage appeared.

You can say that supreme mages are godlike figures who can do whatever they want with no one being better. Ice sovereign mountain was established by such figure.

Now that someone from Ice sovereign mountain was here to invite Lilly to become their disciple, it could be said that this was the greatest opportunity she could have in her entire life.

Max frowned and contemplated. He wanted Lilly to accompany him everyday but it would be selfish and foolish to decline such a good offer. He was feeling very conflicted right now. On the one hand, he wanted to be with her everyday and not get separated as they both were deeply in love with each other and on the other hand, he wanted her to be strong enough to protect herself regardless of the situation.

Seeing Max frown after hearing the womanʼs words, Lilly reached out her hand and pulled on his sleaves. She looked at him with her crystal clear eyes and whispered ”I donʼt want to go. I want to spend every minute with you.”

Max looked at her sweet face and those love filled eyes. He felt warm in his heart.
