Strongest Mage With The Lust System - Chapter 686 Capture

Max stared back at him, expressionlessly.

Kriss kept silent, patiently waiting for him to speak.

The way they were ignoring everything around them, it would seem they weren’t on a battlefield but inside the security of a home, discussing important things.

After a few moments, the corner of Max’s lips curled up, and he extended his hand. “I’ll give you the chance to earn my friendship.”

Kriss sighed in relief, and grabbing his hand, he nodded, “Thank you, Mr. Max.”

Then, he took out his communication crystal and said, “Let me first tell my family to stop entertaining thoughts about you.”

“Oh? They would listen to you? The elders?” Max asked, a little surprised seeing how confident he seemed about it.

“Of course, they would.” Kriss smiled and sent the message to the family leader, his mother.

…

In the capital… inside the Martell family estate…

A middle-aged lady in an elegant green dress was sitting on the family head’s chair in the meeting hall that was currently empty, deep in thought.

Suddenly, she sensed something and took out her communication crystal.

“It’s little Kriss.” A smile blossomed on her motherly face. After she heard the complete message, she was silent for a few moments, taking out another communication crystal and saying.

“Invite all the elders and grand elders for a meeting. I have something to announce.”

Saying this, she muttered, a somewhat desolate smile on her face, “You are starting to act just like your father. If he saw this, he would be proud.”

…

When Max and Kriss shook hands, the people from the Martell family started moving in the Fuller family’s direction.

Max noticed this, and he couldn’t help but admire Kriss’s charisma. None of his people, even those stronger than him, objected and moved on their own to help the Fullers.

He also noticed how the expressions of those from the Seidel and Arasia families turned ugly, making him smile.

Suddenly, his expression changed. Grabbing Kriss’s shoulder, he hurriedly rushed to the side.

BOOM!

Immediately after, the place they were standing on exploded, and a horned demon appeared there.

He glanced at the corpse of the demon king before turning his head to look at Max; he grinned with a malevolent expression on his face, “I will make sure you die this time.”

Max’s heart felt heavy, his expression grim, but his eyes blazed with a furious killing intent.

Even though it was his first time seeing this demon, he knew it was the same demon emperor who had attacked him during the day, almost killing him.

“A demon emperor?” Kriss muttered in a daze, feeling the aura of the demon king. He then noticed Max’s expression and asked, “Is he the same guy who attacked you earlier?”

Max nodded before asking, “Regretting wanting to be my friend now?”

“Nah. I’m not one to regret my decisions—”

Swoosh!

Just as he said this, Alijah appeared in front of them and grinned at Kriss, “Oh, you will regret it in a while.”

Kriss, however, met his gaze and grinned back, “I don’t think so.” Nôv(el)B\jnn

Right as he said this, Alijah’s expression changed drastically, and he cried in his heart, ‘How can he be here?!’

Immediately after, he tried to activate his concealment spell hide and escape, but he suddenly froze.

“You are really audacious, huh? Not happy you managed to escape with your life one time?”

Swoosh!

Alton’s figure materialized behind him, and he casually grabbed the back of his neck.

Alijah’s body went slack, a horrified look appearing on his face.

Alton then glanced at Max and Kriss, “Try to survive for a few more minutes.”

Swoosh!

Saying this, he disappeared from the place along with Alijah.

The king-ranked demons that had ditched the human mages after seeing their comrade die in Kriss and Max’s hands froze in place after seeing their demon emperor being captured so easily.

“That human emperor… Just how strong was he to take down Lord Alijah so easily?” A scarlet demon king asked in shock.

The horned demon kings’ expressions were ugly as one of them gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, “The bastard was a Rothchild.”

His words enlightened the scarlet demon kings. “Ah, then no wonder.”

The horned demon kings shot the one who spoke furious looks, forcing him to clamp his mouth shut.

In the sky above the battlefield, inside an isolation barrier, Vigil, Yshoy, and four other demon emperors, two from each tribe, were facing Lady Verana, Tristen, and three other human emperors.

Even though human emperors numbered less than the demons, it was the demon emperors who wore grave expressions as they warily stared at Lady Verana.

Just before both armies clashed down below, they had a short fight and realized Lady Verana was able to fight both Vigil and Yshoy without losing in the slightest. And Tristen and the other three suppressed the remaining demon emperors.

Despite that, they weren’t able to kill them, which led to a stalemate. So, since they weren’t fighting, they started watching the battles.

When Alijah, who hadn’t joined them earlier because he wanted to kill Max, appeared on the battlefield, both Vigil and Yshoy’s expressions turned grim.

Since they had already clashed, they weren’t worried about him breaking the rules.

So, why did they wear such heavy expressions?

Well, it was because they knew the Rothchild emperor Alijah had told them about wasn’t one of the five human emperors facing them. This meant no one was keeping him in check, and he would most probably take action.

They tried to warn Alijah, but their divine senses couldn’t penetrate the isolation barrier. The next moment, just as they feared, they saw Alton appear and immediately capture Alijah.

Boom!

Yshoy’s expression darkened and his murderous intent flared.

“I’m going to rip that bastard into pieces!”

Tristen smirked, “Yeah, I’m sure you will.”

He then glanced at Vigil and said in the same mocking tone, “Why do you look so grim? You should be happy since both your tribes now have an equal number of emperors.”

Vigil’s blood-red pupils constricted, an intense killing intent flashing within them. However, a moment later, his expression became calm as he held his hands behind his back and said, “It’s still too early to celebrate, human.”
