Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Rumble!

Whoosh!

Thud!

Sky rumbled above a gloomy forest. Then a crack opened in the space and Max was ejected out of it like a cannonball and crashed into the forest, creating a small crater.

Because of the impact, he felt as if his bones were crushed and he cried out in pain.

Argh! Blergh!

However, as soon as he cried, the sweet taste of blood filled his throat before he involuntarily spat it out.

“Argh! Damn it. Couldn’t you warn me beforehand it’s going to be so turbulent?” Max cursed angrily, wiping his blood away from his lips.

[Did you think travelling through space was going to be a cakewalk for a weakling like you just because I was teleporting you? Be real.] System scoffed.

“Wasn’t teleportation supposed to be safe regardless of the person teleporting?” Max asked angrily.

[For that kind of teleportation, you need to first stabilize the space nodes connecting two places. Do you think I’m in a condition where I can do that?]

“At least you could warn…” Max grumbled. However, he couldn’t complete his sentence when the system interrupted him.

[If you don’t want to die, move your ass and escape in the southeast direction right now or you’ll be caught. Some demons are coming over.]

“Damn. I can’t even recover in peace.” Max cursed. He then circulated his three-star mana and bolted out of the crater and zoomed in the southeast direction.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two minutes after Max ran away, a group of three people arrived at the crater. Although they had the same features as humans, just one look at them and anyone could tell they weren’t humans.

They had a strange, chilling, and dark aura about them. The most distinctive feature of these three were their blood-red eyes and a pair of blood-red bat wings on their back. They were from the blood wing demon tribe.

Two of them were males, while the last one was a female. If we ignored her ghastly red eyes and hideous bat wings, she was quite a beauty with a sensual figure.

“It seemed someone crashed here.” The one in the middle spoke. If Max was here, he wouldn’t understand their language, since it differed completely from the human language.

The one on the left closed his eyes and uttered a strange cry. A moment later, his red eyes glowed before he pointed in the southeast direction. “There was a human here. He went in that direction.”

“Human? What is a human doing out here? Shouldn’t they be in their pastures?” The one in the middle frowned.

“Maybe it’s a stray?”

“It doesn’t matter. Let’s capture it first.” The female demon said indifferently. The other two nodded in agreement.𝞸𝗏𝓵xt.𝑐𝚘𝐌

Flap! Flap! Flap!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

They then flapped their wings and took off in the air before shooting in the southeast direction.

Meanwhile, Max was still running through the forest at his top speed. He then asked, “I’ve travelled quite far. Am I out of danger now? I need to rest for a while.”

[Remember one thing, kid. A human is never safe in the demon territory unless you are stronger the strongest person there. As for your question, no, you are not out of danger. Those three kids are chasing after you and for your information, all of them are equivalent to early stage three-star mages.] The system informed.

Hearing this, Max’s heart clenched. He gritted his teeth and took out a talisman. It was a middle-tier, grade-three escaping talisman. He only had a dozen of them because he couldn’t find more in the Ninam city.

[Right decision, but unfortunately for you, they have wings and I’m guessing their top speed should be slightly faster than what yours will be after you use this toy. Moreover, they have someone who can easily trace you. So, no matter how fast you run, they will still catch up to you.] System poured cold water on him.

“So, how am I going to survive now? I’m not strong enough to fight them.” Max asked in frustration.

[That’s for you to think about.] The system curtly answered.

Swoosh!

Since running or hiding wasn’t going to help, Max stopped running.

His mind raced, trying to find a way to survive. In the end, he could only think of using his grade-three talismans.

“Tell me, how long is it going to take them before they come here?” He asked the system.

[30 seconds at most.]

“Okay.” Max nodded before he sat down, leaning against a tree. He acted as if he was asleep. However, in his clenched fists, he was hiding three mid-tier grade-three offensive talismans and that escaping talisman from earlier.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Exactly 30 seconds later, three figures stopped in the air in front of him, looking down at him curiously.

“Hey, human. What are you doing here? Did you escape your master?” The male demon in the middle asked aloud.

Although on this demon continent, the demon race was dominant, there were other races such as humans, present but they were in minority and were all enslaved. That’s why they didn’t think of him as an outsider and asked whether he had escaped from his master.

Max, however, didn’t respond and continued to act asleep while thinking that their language was indeed different from the human language, like the system had told him before.

Although he immediately wanted to throw the talismans at them, he knew it would be useless because they were still over twenty meters away from him. From this distance, it would be effortless for them to escape his surprise attacks.

“Hey can’t you hear?” The one of the left shouted. His piercing voice caused his eardrums to buzz and some blood also flowed out.

‘What are you shouting for, bastard?’ He cursed in his mind before opening his eyes. To begin with, he knew he wouldn’t be able to lure all three of them in his range just by acting asleep, but at least it would make them lower their guard a bit.

Seeing them, he acted scared and backed up a little more against the three but didn’t speak because the moment he opened his mouth, he would be exposed as a non-native of this land and they would immediately capture him.

“Tch, these humans are really too cowardly. They can’t even answer a question without peeing their pants.” The demon in the middle clicked his tongue in disdain. He then ordered the other male demon, “You go bring him with us. He can at least reproduce with other humans and give us more slave and food.”

“Yeah. Can’t let human resources go to waste.” The other demon laughed evilly and neared Max to capture him.

Seeing this, Max revealed a smirk and threw a one of the three offensive talismans at him. At the same time, he crushed the escaping talisman, which increased his speed by many folds and dashed toward the demon leader. As soon as he was in the range, he threw another offensive talisman at him.

But as they say, not everything goes according to the plan. As soon as Max threw out his first talisman, the remaining two demons in the back put up their guard.
