Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 701  Massacre

It was an incredible ability, no doubt, but it came with a price—it consumed quite a bit of his bloodline energy, something he wasnʼt able to recover as easily as Max could, and it also put a lot of strain on his mind.

ʼI should be able to use it a few times more without any problem, but it would be better if I didnʼt rely on it too much.ʼ He had just thought this when a peak Four Star demon appeared in front of him.

Though he couldnʼt tell his exact cultivation, the sense of danger he gave him was stronger than the previous two.

ʼAre all of the demons attacking this strong?ʼ He thought, his expression turning grim as he realized he wouldnʼt be able to fight to his heartʼs content.

ʼIt seems I need to increase my cultivation level. I wouldnʼt be able to use this bloodline to its full potential.ʼ

Swoosh!

Once again using the Emperorʼs Authority to forcibly exchange his wind affinity and mana control, he released his wind mana, which shrouded his body as he rushed at the demon about to attack him.

…

Bang! Bang!

Boom!

”Ahhhhh! Save me—”

Puff!

”Noooooo!”

The demons were carrying out a ruthless massacre, killing mages, common folk, and even kids without mercy. In fact, they seemed to relish their victimsʼ desperate cries.

This already bad situation got worse when Zorn and Rex descended and started slaughtering the Four and Five Star elves that were trying their best to save as many people as they could.

While killing, Rex swept his gaze toward the city lordʼs manor, and his gaze flickered because he sensed several powerful auras concentrated there.

”Iʼm going to kill the noble elves of this city.” Saying this, he flew toward the city lordʼs manor. Inside the manor, Elenaʼs expression turned grim when she noticed one of the demon kingʼs auras rushing in their direction. Her grip on little Aryaʼs hand tightened, and she worriedly looked at several elves in front of her, many of whom were from her family.

Her elder brotherʼs wife panicked when she felt the aura rushing over and grabbed her husbandʼs hand while pulling her son closer to her. ”Dear, th-that demon is coming to kill us. We are going to die.”

Others also panicked, and some of them shouted.

”Where are the reinforcements from the central plains? Why havenʼt they come yet?”

”Yeah, I got the news that the humansʼ reinforcements have come, and they have already set up the war temple. Shouldnʼt the queen have sent people with them to protect us?”

Boom!

Seeing everyone was losing their wits, Elena released her aura, pressing down upon them, making them pause.

”Itʼs too unsightly for you all to panic like headless chickens. If our people, who are dying right now outside, saw this, they would all hope. You all should be ashamed.” She coldly said in a disappointed tone.

A few of them lowered their heads in shame, but others were too afraid to die to understand her words and protested.

”City lord, you are right, but how are we supposed to act when multiple demon kings are attacking us? Just Lady Aria wouldnʼt, no, canʼt stop them.”

”We are going to die. What use is there in putting up a brave front?!”

”SHUT UP!” Elenaʼs anger flared, and her aura sent everyone staggering back.

She was too disappointed and angry at them. These people were supposed to raise the citizens morale at this time, be their moral support, but they were acting nothing like they should.

ʼI should have been more strict with them as father told me to.ʼ She sighed before saying, ”There is no need to panic. You are not going to die.”

While the crowd looked at her in puzzlement, she raised her head and said, ”Granny, please step in. We canʼt allow any more of our people to die.”

Inside the magic spell pavilion of the city, the old black-clothed elven woman opened her eyes and sighed.

Sigh!

She had sighed softly, but everyone across the city heard it, but apart from Salthor, Zorn, Rex, and Five Star demons and elves, everyone ignored it.

The demons, including Salthor, Zorn, and Rex, became wary while Aria, Elena, Ryan, Old Man Raku, and a few others who knew who this sigh belonged to calmed down.

ʼLittle Ely, you shouldʼve asked her to step in earlier.ʼ Old man Raku sighed as he looked at the corpses of his people strewn all over.

[All of you stop!]

As the elderly voice resounded, everyone, be they demons or elves, froze in place.

Salthorʼs, Zornʼs, and Rexʼs expressions changed drastically.

”Oh fuck!” They cursed at the same time, realizing the sigh didnʼt belong to some hidden king elf as they thought but an emperor, one so powerful that their aura sphere had already enveloped them, but they couldnʼt even notice it.

Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum! Ba-Dum!

As their hearts pounded in terror, the elderly voice resounded again.

[For massacring my kin, all of you demons, die.]

Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Immediately, all demons, from the weakest to the strongest—Salthor—spat out a mouthful of blood, their heart having imploded. Then they fell to the ground, dying shortly after.

Salthor, Zorn, and Rex, being the strongest of them all and the ones behind the attack, received special treatment.

Though their hearts had also imploded, they didnʼt die as though some invisible force had frozen their lifeforce, not letting it leave their bodies while amplifying their pain and lowering their pain tolerance.

”Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Being the demon kings, they had gone through a lot of bloodshed and torturous battles all their lives that tempered their wills and made them be able to tolerate any amount of pain inflicted upon them.

However, right now, they squealed like pigs, letting out such painful and heart-wrenching cries that, for a moment, made the elves pity them.

”Ahhhhhhhhh! Stoppppppp!”

Their cries became even more painful as their blood vessels popped one by one, muscles slowly stretched and ripped into pieces, their bones fractured before being ground into powder, their internal organs burst, and their demonic energy was set aflame.
