Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 400 Osmont

”Commander. This isnʼt the time to waste time on such things. We need to meet the branch leader as soon as possible. Young lady Amaraʼs life might be in danger.” Keritch said before moving deeper into the mansion. Seriath followed behind him after nodding at the guard commander.

(A/N: Amaraʼs father is being addressed as branch leader here because he is the leader of this branch of the blood wing tribe. In the previous chapter, Amara called her father an elder because he was also one of the elders of the entire tribe. I hope itʼs not confusing.)

Seeing that their commander didnʼt stop the duo from entering, a demon guard spoke up, ”Lord commander, shouldnʼt we stop them? The branch leader had ordered us not to let anyone in unannounced.”

Slap!

The commander slapped him as soon as he spoke and said in anger, ”Do you think I donʼt want to? But they are five fucking star demons. Given how urgent they seemed, if I had tried to stop them even after their ʼexplanationʼ, it wouldʼve enraged them. What if they killed me in anger? Who is going to be responsible?”

The guard who just got slapped wiped the blood from his lips and apologised, ”Forgive me for speaking without consideration, lord commander.”

”Hmph!” The commander harrumphed and said, ”You guys return to your posts. Iʼll follow them inside.”

Whoosh!

Saying this, he flew behind the duo. If he was present with them when the branch leader met them, his punishment would not be too serious. If not, he would be charged with the dereliction of duty and his punishment would be harsh, which he didnʼt want.

After he left, the slapped guard spat out a mouthful of blood and resentfully said, ”Such a coward! Wait until I become a four-star demon, too. Then Iʼll whoop your ass.”

”Hehe. Youʼll only be an early-stage demon while he is already a mid-stage. How will you achieve that right after breaking through to the four-star? Could it be that youʼve awakened your bloodline?” Someone mockingly asked. Hearing this, others also started laughing.

”Tch! I meant after becoming stronger than him. Now, stop showing your teeth and letʼs return to our posts or he will cry about it, too.” The first demon hurriedly changed the topic before flying away.

…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Keritch and Seriath sped toward the enormous hall in the centre.

However, before they could barge in, they were stopped by the two guards standing outside the hall. ”Halt!”

Seriath was about to shout at them, but when he saw their faces, his words stuck in his throat. These two guards were also five-star demons, and they were strong than Keritch or him, so he had to show them their due respect.

”Old sirs, we need to meet branch leader urgently. Itʼs related to young lady Amaraʼs safety.” Keritch said with a light bow.

”Oh?” The two old demons raised their brows. After exchanging a glance, they nodded. However, just as they were about to take out their communication crystals, a laughing voice sounded from the side.

”Hehe, why are you guys in such a hurry?”

When the two old guards, Keritch and Seriath, glanced in the voiceʼs direction, they saw a handsome man walking toward them. He was wearing a dazzling blood red robe and had a relaxed smile on his face.

(A/N: Itʼs a male demon but constantly addressing them as male demon or female demon is weird so Iʼll call write them as man or woman.)

Seeing him, all of them kneeled down on one knee and saluted in unison, ”Greetings, young Lord Osmont.” This was the branch leaderʼs son and Amaraʼs half-brother.

”Please rise and tell me whatʼs the matter. Why do you guys seem worried?” Osmont asked.

One of the two old demons glanced at Keritch and Seriath and said, ”They are our branch elders, Keritch and Seriath, respectively. They want to meet branch leader urgently because they have some news related to young lady Amaraʼs safety.”

”Oh? What happened to my dear sister?” Osmont asked with interest.

”What happened was…” Seriath took the chance and told him everything he knew.

After hearing everything, Osmont sighed, ”I grieve your losses.”

”Thank you, young Lord. However, thatʼs not important right now. Young lady Amaraʼs safety is the most important concern right now.” Seriath said, faking his concern.

He was constantly praying that she should be alive because if she was also dead, the branch leader might blame her death on their deceased sons and it would create a lot of trouble for their families.

Even though Keritch was furious and saddened by his sonʼs death, he had to suppress it and show concern for Amaraʼs safety, too.

Osmont looked at them with the same relaxed smiled and said, ”Alright. Iʼll go and talk to father. You guys wait here.”

Saying this, he pushed open the giant gates and walked inside.

Seriath looked at Keritch and spoke through telepathy. [It seems the rumours are true. Young Lord Osmont doesnʼt like young lady Amara. He didnʼt seem concerned at all.]

Keritch glared at him and replied coldly, [Itʼs good you finally know. Now shut up. Although your useless sonʼs doesnʼt affect you much, itʼs not the same with me. If you speak another work to me, Iʼll chop your wings off.]

Hearing this, Seriath became angry and shouted back, [I dare you to touch me, you cheap bastard? And itʼs your son who was useless. He must be the reason my son and possibly lady Amara are dead.]

Boom!

When Keritch heard this, his anger flared, and his demon energy burst out uncontrollably before he punched toward Seriath.

Boom!

Seriath didnʼt back down. He also released his demon energy and threw his fist at the incoming punch.

Thud!

However, before their attacks could collied, an even more formidable demon energy burst out from the one of the old guards and froze them in their place.

”Where do you think you are right now? Behave or I wonʼt mind teaching you both a lesson.” He coldly said.

Keritch and Seriath glared at each other before apologising to the old man and stood silently.

Meanwhile, Osmont walked to the end of the hall, respectfully kneeled down on one knee and looked at the wall in front of him and said, ”Lord Father. It seems little sister Amara is in trouble, or perhaps she has already…”

Before he could complete his sentence, an apathetic voice sounded in his ears, [Donʼt be happy. She is still alive. Now itʼs your duty to bring her back unharmed.]

Hearing this, Osmontʼs eyes flickered, and he let out a disappointed sigh, and he nodded, ”Yes, lord father.”
