Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 409 Generous Big Brother

”Okay, uncle.” Amara nodded. She then walked out of the hall and headed toward the kitchen.

She stored some food and drinks in her spatial ring and went over to Maxʼs room.

Ashroth saw this and frowned. He felt she was treating him too nicely, but upon further thought, it wasnʼt too strange since he had saved her life. Even so, he felt something was amiss, but didnʼt know what it was.

”What are you thinking?” The watcher asked.

”Itʼs nothing.” Ashroth shook his head and asked, ”So, what did you want to talk about, uncle?”

”First of all, congratulations! Youʼve exceeded my and your fatherʼs expectation by becoming mid-stage four-star demon in just two short years.” The watcher smiled.

”Itʼs all thanks to fatherʼs and uncleʼs support.” Ashroth modestly said.

”Secondly, do you want to keep it a secret?” The watcher asked.

Hearing this, Ashroth smiled wryly, ”So, you had noticed.”

”Of course. Moreover, itʼs not only I, Amara, and probably that human kid had also noticed it.” The watcher said.

”Oh?” Ashroth exclaimed in surprise and asked, ”I can understand uncle noticed it and Amara also noticed since she is familiar with the bloodline energy but how can that human notice it too? He is just a two-star being.”

”Haha, kid. Did you forget he was with her when Amaraʼs bloodline awakened?” The watcher laughed and then shifted the topic. ”Alright. Letʼs not talk about that. I have very important information for you.”

”Mm?” After seeing his expression, Ashroth became curious and asked, ”Whatʼs that?”

”You know the time to attack the other half of our continent is near, right?”

”Yes. Is father planning to send me with the first army?” Ashroth asked calmly.

The watcher wasnʼt surprised to see him guess it because he knew how intelligent this nephew of his was. He nodded, ”Yes. But thatʼs not the important thing. The important thing is, you only have a little less than a month to prepare.”

”Why? Isnʼt the designated time still a more than half a year away?” Ashroth asked in surprise.

Seeing his surprised expression, the watcher nodded in satisfaction before saying, ”The higher ups have decided to attack in advance to take them by surprise and secure a base first.”

After a pause, he added with a solemn expression, ”This time wonʼt be like previous times when the higher ups only treated it as training for younger generation. They are serious about reclaiming the land this time. So, the war is going to be fierce. Youʼll have to face many dangers, both external and internal. So, prepare accordingly.”

A small smile appeared on Ashrothʼs when he heard that he would have to internal dangers too. He then asked, ”So, Osmont will be going with me, is that right?”

”Yes. There would be people from his motherʼs side, too. So, you have to be extra careful.” The watcher nodded.

He then took out a box and gave it to him. ”There are some grade-five blood gems in it. Use them and try to break through to the five-star realm. Youʼll be safer if you are a five-star demon with an awakened bloodline.”

”Yes, uncle. I will do that.” Ashroth seriously nodded. If it was only Osmont, he couldʼve easily handled him but if the people from her motherʼs side were added to the equation, things wouldnʼt be easy because he knew there will be many peak four-star and or five-star demons there.

”Okay. I should go now.” The watcher stood up and then suddenly added, ”You should visit your father and tell him about your bloodline awakening yourself.”

”Yeah. Iʼll visit him in the morning. I want to rest tonight.” Ashroth nodded, standing up. ”Let me accompany you on your way out.”

…

Meanwhile, Amara was already standing in front of Maxʼs room.

She had knocked a few times, but he didnʼt respond.

ʼIs he asleep?ʼ She thought before trying again.

Knock! Knock!

There was no response. Just when she was about to give up,

Creak~

The door opened and Max appeared in front of her. He was yawning and rubbing his eyes.

”What is it?” He asked coldly. He was annoyed because she disturbed his sleep.

Amara looked around before apologising, ”Sorry for disturbing your sleep, master. I thought you would be hungry, so I brought some food for you.”

When Max heard this, his annoyance lessened a little, and he said, ”Thank you for that. But Iʼve already eaten. I just want to sleep now. You can go and come wake me up in the morning.”

”Ah? Okay.” Amara nodded, feeling a little disappointed for some reason.

Just as he was about to close the door, he remembered something and added, ”Also, try to recover your pure yin as soon as possible. Iʼm urgently need it to become strong.”

”Yes, master. Iʼll do that.” Amara nodded.

”Alright. You can go now.”

Finished speaking, he closed the door and went to the bed again.

Amara stood there in a daze.

Just then, she heard Ashrothʼs voice. ”What are you doing here?”

Amara was brought out of her thoughts. She glanced at him and said, ”N-Nothing. I just brought some food for him since he was hungry.”

”Okay. Letʼs go and sleep.” Ashroth said before walking back into the villa.

Amara promptly followed him and asked, ”Uncle went away?”

”Yeah. I just walked him out.” Ashroth nodded.

”Hey, big brother, tell me, when did you awaken your bloodline?” Amara asked. She was dying to ask this ever since she noticed the bloodline energy on him. But at that time, he was angry and after that they werenʼt alone, so she couldnʼt ask him.

”Half a year after going into the prison. My bloodline is what helped me improve rapidly in such a short time.” Ashroth smiled.

”Thatʼs great. But how did you do that without any resources?” Amara asked. She was confused about it.

”Who said I didnʼt have any recourses?” Ashroth chuckled.

”Huh? You had? But how?” Amara became confused because she knew no one was allowed any special treatment in the prison.

”You know why I was imprisoned, right?” Ashroth asked.

Amara nodded. ”Yes. It was because Osmont blamed fifth elder brotherʼs death on you and fabricated the evidence.”

Two years ago, Orlanʼs the fifth oldest son was killed and Osmont had blamed it on Ashroth because of their personal enmity. Although Orlan knew Ashroth wasnʼt the real culprit, he had no choice but to imprison him for his lifetime because Osmont had presented ʼreal evidenceʼ in front of everyone.

”You know, father knew who the real culprit was and didnʼt want to imprison me. It was only because Osmontʼs motherʼs family pressured him. So, he had no choice. But even so, he had ordered the elder in-charge of the prison to secretly give me resources to train.”

”To ensure no one finds out about this, no one was allowed to meet me, not even you. Father had planned to free me when he broke through to the emperor realm and could handle that family.”

He the looked at her and pinched her nose, ”But who knew you will awaken your bloodline and use your awakening wish to ask father to free me before the planned time?”

The blood demon tribe had the rule that whenever a person awakened their bloodline, they could ask for any wish as long as it didnʼt harm the tribe or was too excessive.

So, no one would question the branch leaderʼs decision to free his son if it was Amara who had awakened her bloodline asked him to as her wish.

After hearing his explanation, Amaraʼs felt guilty in her heart because for two years, she had been hating her father because he ordered her big brotherʼs imprisonment.

ʼBut if father had told me all this, I wouldnʼt have misunderstood him and hate him for it,ʼ She grumbled inwardly.

”Alright. Now you rest. Iʼm going back to my place now.” Ashroth said.

”Mm? Big brother. If you donʼt need the blood gem Osmont gave you, can you… give it to me?” She embarrassedly asked.

Thud!

Ashroth lightly hit her head when he heard this and scolded, ”You silly girl. You donʼt need to be so hesitant and embarrassed to ask anything from me, alright?”

Saying this, he took out the wooden box he got from Osmont and gave it to her.

”Hehe, my big brother, is the best.” Amara took it and stored in her spatial ring and smiled fawningly.

Seeing her smile, Ashroth smiled. ”I also have some more, but you wonʼt be able to use them or I would have given them to you, too.”
