Strongest Mage with the Lust system

551  I'm going with her

After the explosion calmed down and the targeted king rank demon 'evaporated', everyone gradually came to their senses and someone in Aaron's group murmured their confusion. "Senior sister is just a king rank mage, right? How can senior sister cast a monarch rank spell?"

"Isn't it obvious?" The young lady said, her eyes glued to Margaret's figure in the air, "Senior sister is a genius. No, genius word doesn't define her awesomeness. She is beyond genius and what is impossible for others, for her, is nothing but a minor problem."

Everyone smiled wryly and shook their heads, not wanting to say anything, but the man continued.

"How can it be so simple, junior sister Eve? We have countless geniuses in the flame valley. Senior brother Aaron is such an example since he can fight king rank mages when he is just a peak five-star mage, but even he can't cast spells that are two ranks higher than his corresponding realm. I don't think—"

Slap!

A woman standing beside him slapped the back of his head, interrupting him from speaking further.

"Hey, what was that for?" The man asked, frowning.

The woman glared at him. "Are you stupid? Don't you know you shouldn't talk about these things? No matter how senior sister does it, it's her secret. Why do you want to know it?"

The man realized his mistake and glanced at Aaron, who had a displeased look on his face, and quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, senior brother. I didn't mean to…"

"It's alright. Just don't reveal your intrusive thoughts." Aaron warned.

Eve glared at the man, and sent a mental message to him, [You doubt senior sister? You stupid senior brother, I'll tell senior sister about it. She'll teach you a lesson.]

The man, who just sighed in relief, froze. He glanced at her with a stiff smile and communicated back, [Junior sister, I don't doubt senior sister. I know she is 'beyond genius', just as you said. I was just curious, that's why I asked. So… can you please let this matter rest?]

The woman beside him noticed his unnatural expression and followed his gaze to Eve. Sighing, she shook her head.

[Hmph! I'll forgive you this one time.] Eve glared at him before moving her gaze back to her idol, Margaret.

Aaron also looked at her. 'Perhaps the Crimson Monarch's legacy wasn't just his spell…'

Just then, his communication crystal buzzed in his spatial ring. He took it out and checked the message.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, Margaret appeared in front of them. She raised her brows when she saw some demons were still alive. "Quickly finish them. We need to hurry."

Everyone nodded, and they quickly killed them and dug out their demon cores. After they were done, Eve hopped toward Margaret and excitedly said, "Senior sister, that was amazing! You completely destroyed that demon king in one attack."

Margaret just smiled lightly in response.

Eve's eyes brightened when she saw her smile. She threw herself at her, but it was as though Margaret knew she would do it, so she stepped back, easily dodging her. Eve pouted her adorable little lips before jumping at her once again. Margaret sighed and extended her hand. Eve understood her intensions, so instead of hugging her, she grabbed her arm with both hands like a child and said with puppy eyes.

"Senior sister, please teach me that spell. I also want to kill king rank demons."

Margaret gently flicked her forehead, making her flinch, and asked, "Have you mastered the spell I taught you last time?"

"Not yet, but I'll—" "Master that first. Only then I might consider teaching you anything else," Margaret said, interrupting her.

Others returned after finishing their task and gave Eve an envious look. Unlike her, who somehow became close to 'Unapproachable' Margaret, they couldn't be so casual with her, let alone ask her to teach them her skills.

Aaron walked over and with a serious look on his face, he said, "Mar… senior sister. I received a message from Schwartz a while ago. The demon armies have surrounded their cities, and given the fact they have tried to delay us here, they are about to start the war. We need to hurry the things up."

Margaret's expression turned solemn. She then took out her communication crystal. [Master, I'm leading my team into the Crimson Dragon empire's Hellfire city.]

"Let's go. We'll fly straight toward the Hellfire city. Be careful of any sneak attacks from the ground." Putting the crystal away, she waved her hand and covered some of her team members who can't fly in her mana and flew into the air, heading out of the forest.

Ice sovereign mountain, main entrance…

Oliver, along with three people—two male and one female, was waiting with his eyes closed, looking extremely calm. The female in the group kept sneaking glances at him while sighing in her heart.

Noticing this, one of the two men, slightly tall and slightly muscular with a beard and mustache, clicked his tongue,

"Tch! You are hopeless, woman. You know he wouldn't have given you a second glance if not for your talent. But you still haven't given up hope. I say forget him and become my companion. Though my background isn't as impressive as his, and I haven't learned the fabled [Ice God Technique], I doubt there are many who can beat me in my realm."

"You!" The woman froze.

She then panicked and glanced at Oliver. When she saw he didn't 'seem' to have heard him, she sighed in relief, but at the same time, she was disappointed too, because it was impossible that Oliver didn't hear him. His not reacting to the man's words meant he really didn't like her romantically, which she obviously knew, but didn't want to accept, so this hurt her. Feeling hurt, disappointed, and angry, she snapped, and released her peak five-star aura, "You stupid musclehead! Do you want to die?!"

The man remained unphased at her lashing out, "There is no need to get angry. I simply told you the truth. It would be better if you gave up on him. Besides, you can't beat me."

"You bas—" "Hey, quit it, you two!" the other man cut in when he saw three figures flying toward them. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Rose, Lilly and Little Snow in her human form flew over and landed in front of them.

Oliver opened his eyes. When he saw Lilly, he was dazed for a split second before recovering his senses. 'She has grown even more beautiful.'

Taking a deep breath, he stepped forward. Gracefully, putting his right hand on his left chest, and a handsome smile on his face, he bowed lightly toward her, "Hello Lil… junior sister. I hope you've been well since the last time we met."

Before Lilly could respond, Rose snorted in annoyance, "She has been well and you better make sure it remains the same when I meet her next."

Oliver's expression fell for a brief moment before he nodded. "Of course, Elder. I'll do my best to ensure junior sister's safety."

"It'll be enough if you don't harm her." Little snow murmured under her breath, but given how sharp everyone's hearing was, they heard her clearly. Oliver, however, completely ignored her, his gaze on Lilly. "Shall we depart now, Junior sister, or do you need to bid farewell to your master and fellow sister?"

"There is no need. I'm going with her." Little Snow snorted, trying but failing to hide her contempt.

11:25

Oliver's eyes flickered when he heard this but didn't comment.

Seeing how they were wasting time, the mustache man spoke up, "Since everyone is here, can we just go now? I heard there are demons blocking the way to outer region, I want to fight them."

Lilly looked at her master and bowed. "Farewell, master. We'll meet soon."

Rose gently helped her. "Be careful out there." She then looked at Little Snow. "You too."

Both Lilly and Little snow nodded. "Yes, master."

Seeing they were ready, Oliver waved his hand and summoned a beautiful, white feathered peacock.

Swoosh!

Just as he was about to invite Lilly up, Little Snow transformed into her beast form.

"Come up, big sister."

Lilly smiled and, with a light jump, she landed on Little Snow's back, who immediately flapped her wings and flew into the sky.

Oliver glanced at Rose and gave her a perfunctory bow. "We shall depart now."

He then climbed the peacock with others and flew after Lilly. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Bang! Bang! Crack! Thud!

Three figures, two horned demons and a human, were engaged in a fierce battle. Each time they clashed, minor explosions and bone cracking sounds filled the abandoned city.

From far, it seemed the demons had the upper hand because they landed hits on the human seven out of ten times. The human was in a very bad condition, his clothes were in tatters and his body drenched in blood. But despite all this, the human was… smiling.
