Strongest Mage with the Lust system

600  Calm

A while later, Max and Emily returned to their inn, carrying unconscious Lily.

Emily's brows were furrowed together, she had a cold look on her face. Max, however, looked calm… frighteningly calm.

Shasha and Ray were waiting for them in the lounge. When they saw them, the duo visibly relaxed, and went over to them. "Everything alright?" Shasha asked, looking at unconscious Lily in Max's arms.

Max, however, acted as though he didn't hear her. Slowly, he walked past her, and went up the stairs.

Shasha couldn't help but frown when she saw this. It was understandable his mood wasn't good since his girl seemed to have been injured, but he could at least say something. She and Ray, after all, risked their lives to help them just now. If Oliver wasn't in too much rush… or was a little smarter?... he would've easily realized someone was helping Lily and Emily from the shadows. If he tried looking, finding them wouldn't be too difficult.

But now… he couldn't even bother to share a few words with them? She couldn't help but be dissatisfied by this.

Emily glanced at her, and silent Ray and sighed, "Don't mind him. He isn't in the right state of mind, right now." Shasha breathed out, "...I understand. But can you tell us what happened?" Emily glanced at the duo and nodded, "Max… he fought that guy, Oliver, and defeated him. Unfortunately, he couldn't kill him in time, causing him to escape. However… he won't be coming back anytime soon to cause trouble, so worry not."

"What happened to Lily? Why is she unconscious?" Ray carefully asked. He had met Lily and had to admit she was beautiful even with Elven standards. Furthermore, she was friendly—after finding out they were Max's friends, of course–sweet and good natured. He liked her, as a person, so he was worried about her.

"She used some self harm magic spell, but there is nothing to worry about. She will recover soon." Saying this, her expression became solemn, and she added in a somber tone, "You two, be ready to leave the city at a moment's notice. As soon as Lily recovers… or if something goes wrong, we'll have to leave the city."

The duo was taken aback. Ray shook his head and asked in confusion, "Miss Lily, didn't you just say that the danger is resolved for the time being? Then, why are we leaving the city?... Is there some other danger?"

Emily glanced around and gestured to them to follow her upstairs. After they were in her room, she activated the sound isolation formations, and asked, "You must have heard about the Super Realmbreaker Spells that were auctioned a few hours ago?"

"Yes. We heard about them. Almost everyone was talking about them. Wait…" Ray nodded, his eyes widening in surprise, "...Don't tell me team leader or Miss Lily got those spells, and people are coming to snatch them?"

Hearing this, Shasha couldn't help but feel a little excited. How could she not? They were talking about Super Realmbreaker Spells… Even normal Realmbreaker were something she had only heard about, but now, however, her companions got not just Realmbreaker but Super Realmbreaker Spells?

However, to her disappointment, Emily pursed her lips before shaking her head, "No. They did not. But… that guy, Oliver, had. Some people… strong people… were tracking him down to snatch it away from him…"

…

A while ago… at the destroyed tavern…

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Max carried Lily in his arms, and was about to leave the place with Emily when several people flew over and landed in front of them, stopping them in their tracks.

Max was already in a bad mood, and when he saw people blocking his path, killing intent filled his eyes. However, he didn't let his emotions take over, and suppressed his killing intent. Yes, he had defeated Oliver, and yes, even though every one of the people blocking his path was a Five-Star mage, they were way weaker than Oliver, but he was completely spent, and had no way to fight them. Furthermore, he didn't want to offend people uselessly and create problems for himself.

Thinking this, he suppressed his killing intent, and decided to find out why they were blocking his path.

He looked at the six people in front of him with an indifferent expression on his face. After taking a look at them, he divided them into two groups, five in one and one in the other. The five in the first group were in casual but luxurious clothes, and looked prideful and aloof, while the last one was clearly a City guard, and was the only one who had a dark expression on his face while the rest of them looked at him scrutinizing and… well hidden greedy looks in their eyes.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but furrow his brows. He then shook his head and exhaled a deep breath, 'More trouble… Just what I needed.'

He glanced at them, and calmly asked, "May I know who you are and why are you blocking my way?"

Before any of the five could speak, the Royal Guard pointed at the surroundings, and said, "See this destruction? You did it, right?"

Max finally ground around and noticed the tavern had crumbled into pieces, which were set on fire. Not only that, several buildings around the tavern were badly damaged. Fortunately, there weren't any buildings in the way of destruction caused by his 'Magic Finger', otherwise the damage would've been even more severe.

However, he wasn't thinking that but was looking at several people in the vicinity who were injured, and to his dismay, several ordinary people had died from the shockwaves of his fight.

Taking a deep breath, he nodded, "Yes, I was the involved party, but I'm not the one to blame. If you want to blame someone, blame the guy who had invaded the Royal Palace a while ago."

The Royal Guard's face darkened even more when he heard this, but just when he was about to last out in anger, Max added with a sigh:

"However, as one of the men responsible, I can't escape the responsibility." Saying this, he waved his hand and a storage bag flew toward the guard, "Please take this, repair the damages to the property, help the injured, and take care of the families of the dead people."

The Royal Guard reflexively caught the storage bag, and after hearing him, he looked at it, and then back at Max before nodding, "I'll do that. But you don't think you will get away with just by giving some–"

Before he could finish speaking, a voice sounded: n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"It's enough! You can retreat now."
