Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 731  Three New Demon Tribes [Bonus]

Max glanced at Martha and Armand, a hint of surprise and appreciation flickering in his eyes.

The only reason he hadnʼt killed those people was because almost half of them were from the Williams, Martell, and Fuller family.

If he had killed them, the chances were high that their companions wouldnʼt have liked it and would have become resentful toward him in their hearts, something he didnʼt want, especially right before the big battle.

Armand nodded and said, ”Sir Max, you should never be merciful to these kinds of people, especially not in our current situation.”

Max nodded. Then Martha said, ”Remove the barrier, Sir Max, and stay behind. Weʼll try our best to buy you as much time as we can so you can recover.”

Saying this, she glanced at people in front of her and shouted, ”I donʼt need to lie to you all. You know the odds are stacked against us, and the chances of our survival are abysmally low. So, I ask you not to panic and lower them even more. Go all out to ensure your survival, but remember not to sacrifice your companions for your benefit.”

Saying this, she released her peak Five Star aura that was stronger than it was a few days before and smiled, ”If we survive, Iʼll invite you all to the royal palace for a feast.”

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Armand, Elder Bajj, and other Five Star mages from the three families and independent mages that had joined them released their respective auras too, their mana madly churning in their mana veins, ready to erupt at a momentʼs notice.

Seeing their determined stance, the Three and Four Star mages calmed down and gathered their courage.

Then suddenly a loud laughter resounded, ”Haha, since the princess has invited me, Iʼll have to do my best to not die in those filthy demonsʼ hands.”

Max noticed with his bloodline sense that the one who just spoke out loud was Devor, Heenaʼs man, and he couldnʼt help but smile lightly.

His laughter eased the tension significantly. Heena, standing beside him, pinched his side, making him flinch.

”What are you doing, woman?” He shouted,

”You canʼt wait to go to the princessʼs feast, huh? How about I help you?” She narrowed her eyes at him, her lips pouted.

Devor put his hand around her waist and grinned, ”That would be wonderful. Hahaha!”

Heena hurrumped, but everyone could see she wasnʼt even a bit annoyed. In fact, she was helping him ease the tension.

Several people shot them grateful glances, and Martha even nodded in their direction right before Max removed the barrier.

Swoosh!

As soon as the barrier vanished, a large number of demons appeared in their sight, rushing toward them with ferocious looks on their faces.

Everyoneʼs expressions turned pale when they saw them.

In the large crowd rushing toward them, apart from the horned and scarlet demons and their underlings, dwarf and green serpent demons they recognized, there were three types of other demons.

First were the demons that looked like a hybrid of black wolves and humanoids.

”Abyssal Howlers…” Elder Bajj muttered under his breath, his face becoming pale.

Abyssal Howlers were physically superior to humans and were very ferocious and bloodthirsty in nature and killed indiscriminately. More terrifyingly, when they howled, they could induce fear in their enemy while covering the area in the darkness that made them stronger.

Fortunately, though, they werenʼt too skilled in using the demonic energy, which was the only consolation.

The second type of the demon tribe was also dark, but apart from this, and the fact that they left trails of cinders in their wake, they looked completely human.

They were called Ashen Fiends and were rumored to be born of fire and ash and were as, if not more, terrifying than the Abyssal Howlers. While the Holders ripped their enemies into shreds with their fangs and claws, these Ashen Fiends burned their enemies into ashes.

”Ashen Fiends and Frostclaw Demons…” Armandʼs face became unprecedentedly solemn.

Third were the Frostclaw Demons. Like most demon races, they were humanoid, and just like humans, their skin color varied. But when they used their long, icy blue claws, their skin, hair, and eyes would become icy white.

Compared to the Ashen Fiends, not to mention the Abyssal Howelers, they were less ferocious and more calm, but almost as terrifying. Rarely anyone in the same realms survived after being hit by their Frostclaws that froze their target from inside out.

Standing beside him, Leo saw Max looking at everyoneʼs expressions in confusion, clearly clueless about the new demon races, and couldnʼt help but be a little surprised. He then quickly told him everything he knew about them, mostly their introductions, to him via his divine sense that took just a second.

Maxʼs eyes flashed with understanding when he heard him, ʼNo wonder they are so solemn even though there arenʼt as many peak and high-stage Five Star demons among them.ʼ

If instead of the Abyssal Howlers and Ashen Fiends, there were other demon tribes, even if as strong as them, they would have comparatively more chances of survival because those tribes most probably wouldnʼt have been so bloodthirsty.

”Attack!” Martha shouted, and all Five Star mages—save for Leo and Jonas, one of Marthaʼs two male companions other than Armand, who stayed behind to protect Max as he recovered—rushed forwards, their mana churning and spells activating rapidly, which then rained down upon the demons.

Swoosh!

Bang!

Boom!

The Three and Four Star mages werenʼt slow, as just a few moments after the Five Star realm experts began fighting, they engaged in battle with the Three and Four Star demons.

For the initial half a minute, there were almost no casualties on either side, but after that, this part of the battlefield descended into a scene of unrelenting, gruesome carnage.

As Max watched everything play out while using his Nascent and Bloodline Energy to recover his mental energy, his gaze became increasingly colder because for every demon in the Three and Four Star realm dying, three human mages were being killed.

As the rest of the humans saw this, their courage started crumbling, making it easier for the demons to kill them.
