Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 525  Massacre beings [1]

Whoosh!

Wind elemental mana burst out of her before she suddenly disappeared, causing him to squint in shock, "Such speed!"

Her speed was almost as fast as his when he used [Pheonix Wings].

Whoosh!

Almost at the same time she disappeared, a faint outline of crimson wings materialized behind him. They gently flapped, and he also disappeared, appearing beside the demons.

Whoosh!

Emily appeared in front of a demon, the woman in front of whom seemed as though she was about to die. The demon's pupils constricted when he saw her appear in front of him like a ghost, and he felt a sense of intense danger creeping into his heart. He wanted to retreat, unfortunately; he was just a mid-stage three-star demon whose speed couldn't be compared to Emily's.

Her right hand, in which a thin, silver word had appeared at some point, coated with her wind elemental mana, slashed horizontally at his neck. The strike was beautiful to watch and dreadfully fast. He couldn't even blink before his neck was separated from his body.

Right before he died, the demon's eyes were widened in shock and intense horror.

After killing him, she turned to move at the other three demons, but before she could, Max's figure flashed between them.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

When he stopped, all three demons had an almost imperceptible line of blood around their necks. They had the same expression as the demon Emily had killed. A moment later, their necks rolled off their shoulders, falling down to the ground, creating muffled thuds.

Emily nodded at him before waving her hand. In response, a gust of wind pushed the four demon corpses back.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As the corpses fell back, the women in front of them were freed from their clutches. Unfortunately, they didn't have any strength left and started falling forward, which prompted Emily to wave her hand, sending out gentle waves of mana to help them lie down without injuring themselves. They were ordinary women, after all.

Max couldn't help but feel anger rage in his heart when he saw their miserable states.

"Max, go away for a while. Let me help them." Emily said. Nodding, Max turned around and left.

As he waited some distance away, he opened his status screen and used all 18,000 Kill points which he just got, to increase his mana by another 1800 units.

[Mana: 65,000 (68,700 --> 70,500)]

He then took out a few mid-grade mana stones and started recovering his mana.

A while later, Emily arrived along with the four women they just saved. It seemed Emily had given some healing medicine since they were walking on their own but what made him sigh was that all of them were listless, their eyes blank and their steps stiff. He could see if it wasn't for Emily using her mana to push them forward, they wouldn't want to move at all.

"Max, let's send them to Rey so he can take care of them." Emily said.

Max nodded, but before they could move, one of the four women looked at Emily and said, "I thank you for saving me. Can you do me one more favor, I'll be eternally grateful."

"Mm, tell me, what is it?" Emily asked, nodding.

"Please… kill me." The woman said, shocking both Emily and Max. Just then, the other three women also said, "Please, kill us too."

"Why do you want to die?" Emily asked, frowning.

The women revealed a bleak smile and tears appeared in their eyes.

"We don't have anything or anyone to live for any longer. Not only we were defiled by those monsters, they even killed our families. By now everyone we know must have been slaughtered. So, please, end our misery and give us release. We can't live any longer." They begged.

Emily, with a stone-cold expression on her face, turned to look at Max, asking what they should do. Max glanced at the women, who clearly didn't want to live any longer, and then at Emily who despite looking indifferent, was feeling uneasy which was evident by the ripple of emotions in her eyes. "You don't want to save them, right?" He asked. Emily was a little surprised that he could guess what she really wanted before gently nodding her head.

"Alright." Nodding, he said, "Let's take them back and let Ellie and her mother talk to them. If they still want to die… we can only comply with their wishes."

Emily agreed and, although it wasted some of his precious time, they brought them back. Rey was surprised to see them return so soon, but when he found out the reason, his fists clenched in anger.

"Those demons can't be allowed to conquer our city." He growled.

Since their town wasn't too big and everyone used to interact with each other, Ellie and her mother knew these four women and obviously, they also knew them.

"Lady Ella, you are here? What happened to chief and others, have they also…?" The women asked, when they saw Ellie and her mother, Ella.

Hearing this, Ella's strong exterior, which she put up for her daughter, broke and tears appeared in her beautiful brown eyes and then slid down her cheeks.

While crying, she hugged each of them, before nodding, "Ellie's father and others are no more."

Ellie already knew about it because no way in hell her father wouldn't come with them if he was alive and since he didn't come and only sent them away, it was obvious he was no more. But she, just like her mother, put on a strong exterior so her mother won't feel too sad but when she heard her mother admit it, she also couldn't help but break out in sobs.

They talked for a while. The women told them how their families were slaughtered in front of them while they were taken away and were defiled. Ellie's mother expressed her condolences for their family members and felt sad about what happened to them.

She then found out they didn't want to live any longer. She tried to dissuade them, but the women only shook their heads.

"Lady Ella, I'm sure you can understand our pain. Please don't try to force. And little Ellie, take care of your mother, okay?"

After a while, Ella glanced at Max and said, "Sir, please… fulfill their wishes." Her voice trembled and knees gave out when she said this.

Max nodded and took them out of the stone house, and then returned a while later.

Ella looked at him and asked, "They… are they…?"

Max nodded lightly, which caused Ella's face to turn pale. She then put her hand together, closed her eyes and prayed for their peace.

"Let's go. We need to kill those demons." Emily said, her eyes flashing with a chilling light and her fists clenched tight.

"Take care of them." Max told Rey and then the duo left the stone house once again.

Calculating the time, He realized he only had 40 minutes remaining before his 2x bonus would expire.

When they were crossing the area where they had killed the group of four demons and saved the women, they heard some angry voices.
