Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Chaper 519 Pummeling A Four-Star Demon

Whoosh!

Emily and Rey weren't slow. As soon as they saw him move, they also moved back, warily watching the female demon who had appeared in the place where they were just now.

'She is fast,' Rey thought and then asked, "Team leader, I don't think we can handle them. We should—"

"Don't worry about it." Max interrupted him before he could complete his sentence.

Rey frowned in confusion, but quickly realized why Max interrupted him. He didn't want him to reveal their other teammates' existence to the demons and put their lives at risk.

The demoness looked at Max in slight surprise and said, "You have some keen senses. However…"

Whoosh!

She suddenly vanished and appeared in front of him, her hand grabbed toward his neck.

"…they aren't keen enough." She finished, revealing a smug smile.

"You are not wrong." Max said with a calm look on his face while pushing Ellie and her mother toward Emily.

'Mm?' The demoness frowned when she noticed this and just as her hand was about to touch his neck, her pupils constricted and she immediately retreated.

This baffled the rest of the demons. They couldn't understand why their leader retreated when she was about to grab him. Emily and Rey, on the other hand, sighed in relief. At the same time, they also couldn't help but feel disappointed because Max couldn't take her off guard and seriously injure her with his 'instant cast'. Now that she was already alert, it would be almost impossible to take her off guard.

When Max saw her retreat, the corners of his lips curled up in a grin. Then,

Swoosh!

A pair of almost transparent fire wings sprouted out of his back and he vanished from the place, appearing in front of the demoness, whose eyes widened in grim surprise.

As soon as he appeared in front of her, he threw his right fist at her stomach with all his might. Right before it connected, crimson fire blazed on it, covering more than half of his arm.

BANG!

The punch connected, and the fire burned away her dress near the point of impact. One could see his hand had almost gone through her abdomen. The demoness' eyes bulged out before she was thrown backwards, spitting out blood.

"Yes!" Rey cheered when he saw this, and Emily nodded while the demons looked stunned.

Just then, Max disappeared once again. When he appeared, he was behind the demoness, who was still flying back, her hands and feet forming a 'U' shape parallel to the ground. He then jumped up and kneed her back.

Crack!

The sound of bones cracking sounded as the demoness' body came to a halt. Max then raised his hand and punched at her head.

Although [Calidus Brachium] was no longer active, his physical strength enhanced with mana was more than enough to blow her head into pieces. Unfortunately, it wasn't so easy killing a four-star demon.

Right as his punch was about to land on the back of her head, she moved it to the side, successfully dodging the fatal strike. Then her hands—covered in a gray energy—snaked backward, clawing at him.

Max felt a strong sense of danger from them, so he hurried moved his body back, dodging it. At the same time, he kicked at her back, sending her flying in the other direction.

Because he had used [Pheonix wings] and [Calidus Brachium], a little less than half of his mana was consumed.

'I need to better my control of the [Pheonix wings]. It's using too much mana.' He thought as he disappeared and appeared behind the demoness, kicking her away. He could see, even after enduring the [Calidus Brachium], the demoness wasn't seriously injured. If he let up and let her recover, things might turn ugly. She was, after all, a four-star demon.

While Max continued to beat her up left and right and while the demons were still in the stunned state, Emily and Rey exchanged a glance, nodded and rushed toward the four demons.

Because they used their strongest attacks and the demons were off guard, they managed to injure two of the four demons seriously. They obviously wanted to finish them off but the other two demons reacted and saved their companions.

The duo didn't continue fighting and moved back beside Ellie and her mother. The demons glared at them but didn't dare to charge at them, afraid that Emily and Rey would take advantage and kill off their injured companions.

"Should we call for help? Young lady can't seem to handle that guy." One of the two uninjured demons asked his companion.

The demon hesitated. He was worried that the demoness would be angry if they asked for help, but seeing how she was manhandled by Max without any chance to retaliate, the demon gritted his teeth and nodded.

The other demon glanced at the demoness before taking out his communication crystal and sending a message.

On the other side, Emily frowned and Rey revealed an anxious expression when they noticed this.

"That's bad. They are asking for help," Rey said.

Emily was silent for a moment and then said, "Hide behind me so they can't see you, and asked one of the teams to come over."

"Just one?" Rey asked. Although other teams had an early-stage four-star mage each, he was afraid that the number of the demon reinforcements would be higher than theirs.

"Yeah. Just one should be enough. Also, until more demons arrive, protect me and these two." Emily said. She glanced at Max before taking out the spirit fruits he gave her after they saved Belen and Leticia from the horned demons.

"You… are eating it now?" Rey asked in surprise. Normally, a peaceful environment was needed if someone wanted to consume a spirit fruit, but she was using it here, on the battlefield.

Emily didn't answer. She knew what she was doing was reckless and dangerous, but she had to do it. So, she ate the fruit and closed her eyes.

Rey was speechless. He looked at her and then the demons, who were also looking at them, and shivered. 'Fuck! What if they attack right now instead of waiting for their reinforcements?' He cursed in his heart. The demons didn't dare to attack previously because both sides were equal after the two demons got injured. However, with Emily focusing on digesting the fruit, he was the only one remaining. So, he wouldn't be surprised if the demons attacked now.

Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand and took out his sword, ready to engage them alone if need be.

The demons' already hideous faces turned more ugly when they saw her basically ignore them and try to level up.

"How dare she! She is looking down at us. Let's fuck them up." One of them couldn't control his anger.

The other demon was also angry but controlled himself and said, "Let's wait for the reinforcements. We don't know if they are trying to lure us to attack, so we fall into their trap."

"What trap?! She is clearly trying to level up." The first demon shouted, but didn't urge him to attack again.

On the other side, Rey became more nervous when he noticed the demons angry, but sighed in relief when they didn't attack in the end. He then quickly went behind Emily, took out his communication crystal and sent the message for help.
