Strongest Mage With The Lust System - Chapter 384 Returning From Death's Door

Boom!

Suddenly a wave of malefic aura burst forth from Leticia’s body and sent Max, who was on the bed near her, flying.

Whoosh!

Belen reacted instantly and stopped him from crashing.

She then chanted a spell under her breath and sent forth a wave of mana into the ground.

Crack! Crack!

Ground cracked and a flower plant grew out at lightning speed. Within a second, it had reached five feet height. Under Belen’s control, its surface became smooth. Then gently, she placed the still unconscious Max onto it before turning to look at Leticia.

After the initial mana burst, nothing out of the ordinary happened, and the reddish-purple haze surrounding her silently retreated into her body, making Leticia visible to Belen.

‘What?’ Belen almost shouted in surprise when she saw Leticia.

Right now, she seemed a completely different person from before. She had become more beautiful. No, just saying ‘more beautiful’ would be an understatement.

In terms of the raw beauty, she was now comparable to Flavia, or little Arya’s mother and In terms of charm, she had completely overtaken Rima and was comparable to the Elvin auction host, Siana.

However, Belen, with her keep perception, noticed something amiss. Her charm was somewhat… devilish. Even as a woman herself, she couldn’t help but become mesmerised for a moment. If not for the fact she was already on guard after seeing her emit such an intense malefic aura a moment ago, she might have lost her mind right then.

Siii!

‘Is this her bloodline trait? It’s too terrifying.’ She sucked a cold breath, her forehead glistening with droplets of sweat. ‘What kind of bloodline has she awakened, after all?’ She thought in frustration.

For her, who was secretly proud of her seemingly ‘vast’ knowledge, not knowing something was too frustrating and left an unpleasant taste in her mouth.

‘Maybe apart from teacher, no one in this kingdom would know about it.’ She consoled herself.

‘But seriously, this is quite an amazing bloodline. If she can control her charm properly, she would become an absolute killing machine against those in the same realm.’ She was left aghast at this thought.

‘Good thing I won’t be her enemy.’ She sighed in relief and couldn’t help but smile bitterly. From the beginning, she had been the strongest among the group if we don’t count Max, but soon, she would be the weakest.

While she was thinking all this, Max regained consciousness and opened his eyes.

When he wanted to sit, he couldn’t muster any strength the first time and could barely sit up on the second try. “Strange. Why do I feel so tired and sick?” He muttered in confusion.

“She seemed to have sucked your vitality to awaken her bloodline.” He heard Belen’s voice from the side.

Hearing this, he recalled what had happened before he passed out. Just as they climaxed, a strange force had entered his body and siphoned his vitality away.

Suddenly thinking something, he willed and his status window appeared in front of him. As he scanned it, his expression turned extremely ugly.

[Name: Maxwell Garfield]

[Age: 18]

[Strength: 100, Agility: 100, Stamina: 5/100, Vitality: 1, Intelligence:100]

[Element: Fire (Concentration: 70%)]

[Lust points: 155,000]

‘Damn it. My vitality is almost gone.’ He gnashed his teeth in anger. However, when he realized he could’ve been dead if not for this last bit of vitality, his heart palpitated violently and he started sweating.

Noticing his abnormal behaviour, Belen asked in concern, “What happened? Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m alrig… cough! cough! Blergh!” As he tried to speak, he had a coughing fit before he spat out a mouthful of blood.

After a while, he stopped coughing and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. Then he noticed Belen stare at him in horror.

“What is it?” He feebly asked.

Belen pointed at him with her trembling hands and said, “B-Blood. You are bleeding.”

“Yeah. Because she has damaged my vitality, I feel sick. Don’t worry. I’ll recover soon.” He casually said. He didn’t want her to be worried as he will be alright after he increased his vitality.

Although Leticia’s awakening had almost killed him, he got something good out of it, too. Maybe her awakening affected it somehow, he got a little over 47,000 LPs from her unlike the usual 2000-2500.

After adding the points he got from Belen and the ones he already had before coming here, he now had 155,000 LPs. After putting the 150,000 LPs he needed for the teleportation, he still had 5000 LPs, which can boost his vitality by 50 stat points.

“No. You… you are bleeding from everywhere.” Belen said.

“What?” Max didn’t understand what she meant. However, in the next second, he felt an intense pain in every fiber of his being. He felt like he was being melted from the inside out and his mana core was about to burst.

He looked at his hands and noticed they were all bloodied because blood was oozing out from his pores and cracked skin.

His eyes widened in horror as he could feel the sensation of death engulfing him.

Strangely enough, the closer he was to death, the calmer he became and his mind quickly figure out the problem. ‘It’s because my body has become even weaker than a mortal, it cannot bear my power.’

Wasting no time, he started crazily tapping on the plus sign beside the vitality stat. With each tap, the sensation of death would become a little weaker and when his vitality stat became 20 plus, it completely disappeared. But Max didn’t stop until his vitality had reached 51.

Phew!

He released the breath he hadn’t realized he was holding. Immediately after, he flopped on the flower bed and passed out, a small smile hanging on his lips.

Belen stood frozen on the spot, her eyes still dripping with tears of grief.

When she saw him bleed all over, she knew what was happening to him, but she couldn’t do anything to help him because what he needed was some miraculous medicine which could restore his vitality within seconds.

However, not mentioning she didn’t have such legendary medicine, even if she had, she knew he couldn’t be saved.

Why? Because medicine capable of increasing vitality within seconds was too violent.

Even a healthy person might not be able to endure its effects without some special measures in place, not to mention Max, who was on the verge of death.

As she watched him bleed and shed his melted skin, she felt her heart clench in grief, and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

But to her pleasant surprise, after he started tapping his finger in the air, his skin gradually stopped cracking and his bleeding also stopped.
