Strongest Mage with the Lust system

“Just a few minutes after that dangerous feeling descended, a group of ten people—ten Monarch mages—arrived here.” Garima began speaking,

“They stood in the sky and swept their gazes across the city as though trying to find something. The elven emperors here tried to ask them who they were, but one of them silenced them with a gaze.”

“A moment later, their gazes fixed on the mansion here. It seemed like they were about to descend when another group—five cloaked Monarch mages—suddenly appeared. Four of them attacked the previous group while the last of them targeted your mansion.”

Max’s heart almost stopped beating when he heard this.

He didn’t know how strong a monarch mage was supposed to be, but seeing even the elven emperors, who should be in the late stage or peak of the emperor realm, were completely helpless against just one monarch, just a casual attack from such a being should have been enough to eradicate everything in front of them, let alone a mansion and people inside who were nothing more than ants compared to them.

But then he glanced at the mansion ruins and calmed down a little.

He could tell that although a powerful force struck the mansion, it wasn’t too overwhelming because there were still ruins left. If that monarch’s attack had landed, there should have been nothing left to call ruins. But since there was… it could only mean he was obstructed.

And Garima’s next words proved him right.

“Fortunately, however, despite being taken off guard, they were able to defend and stop the monarch who targeted the mansion.”

Hearing this, Max sighed in relief and thought he should just listen to her narration without trying to think about what might have happened.

Garima continued, “The battle began in the sky. Just the shockwaves of their battle would have leveled this city, but the group of ten monarchs made sure no shockwave reached the city.”

Garima paused after speaking till here, her expression turning grim. “Ten against five, they should have been able to quickly suppress them, but it wasn’t the case because there wasn’t a huge difference in both groups’ overall battle power.

While they fiercely fought, unbeknownst to everyone, someone had already sneaked into the mansion.

If not for your old grandmother, everyone would have died. Unfortunately, even though that person only had the cultivation level of a high-stage King mage, because he was a close friend of one of those cloaked monarchs, he was very powerful and quickly severely injured her. If the group of ten monarchs hadn’t sensed the undulations of their battle…”

She didn’t finish her sentence as there was no need to because Max understood what would have happened otherwise.

She continued, “Fortunately, they did sense them, and despite the five monarchs trying to stop them from helping out, one of the ten managed to break off and destroy that close. The mansion was destroyed in the process of killing that clone.”

Max had many questions, like who were these two groups of people? Why was one trying to kill his family while the other one was trying to save them?

Since they were all monarchs, they surely couldn’t be from the Thunder family. Then who were they, and what enmity did they have with his family?

But one question was more urgent than these, which was… Was his family safe?

As if reading his mind, Garima gave him the answer, but it was an answer he didn’t like at all.

“Unfortunately, before your grandmother intercepted that clone, it had already killed the old butler, your brother William and his wife, your late eldest brother’s wives, and Amelia.” Garima told him in a soft voice.

Max’s eyes reddened when he heard this, and the emotions he had been suppressing burst forth in the form of a violent wave of his aura.

Boom!

Garima and Amara were sent flying while their chairs and the surrounding debris of the mansion were reduced to dust. In the aftermath, only a small circular patch of ground remained untouched where he had been sitting, and around it, a crater over ten feet wide and three feet deep was blasted into the ground.

Thud!

Garima, with Amara in her arms, landed heavily on the ground. When his aura burst forth, realizing it could seriously injure Amara, she protected her.

After placing Amara down, she looked at Max—who was sitting there, unmoving, and was staring in front of him with an unfocused gaze while his aura fluctuated wildly—in astonishment.

When she saw he had reached the high-stage Four Star realm, she was already surprised, and the fact that she felt he posed a little danger to her had shocked her, but now seeing how just an aura wave sent her flying, she realized he had become far stronger than what she was able to see and feel.

Though Max sat unmoving, a storm of rage and heartache was raging in his heart and mind.

While he only felt a slight bit of sympathy for the unfortunate deaths of William and Mark’s wives, it was the tragic news of others’ deaths that truly shattered him.

As the images of Eva—the woman he barely knew but became closer to from that single passionate night, Butler George—the old man who cared for him like a grandfather, and Amelia—that gentle and kind woman who always treated him with warmth, flashed in his mind, he felt hollow inside. At the same time, he felt as if someone was squeezing his heart.

Feeling these strong emotions, Max frowned. To be honest, he didn’t really have a deep connection with them, so while he should feel sad, it shouldn’t be so much.

‘Is this what they mean when they say that we only feel the importance of people after we’ve lost them?’ He thought, closing his eyes as a single silent tear slid down his cheek.

After what seemed like a long time, Max opened his eyes, having buried his emotions in the depths of his heart because he couldn’t afford to be vulnerable right now, and looked at Garima and Amara.

“Sorry, I lost control of my emotions for a moment.” He apologized before saying, “Please continue.”

Nodding, Garima took a deep breath and said, “Both groups fought again, this time more fiercely, but ultimately, the group of five lost and escaped. Once they left, the leader of the first group talked to your father, and your father…”

“…He… he left with them without saying a word to your family.”
