Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 597 Massive Increase in Strength

Chapter 597  Massive Increase in Strength

Swoosh!

Feeling a strong sense of danger, he flashed to the side. Shing~!

As soon as he moved away, a blue sword, crackling with lightning sparks, slashed through the air.

Seeing this, Oliver felt his blood run cold, his bursting anger calmed down a lot. If he was late by even a fraction of second, the sword would've slashed his head off, but fortunately, he acted fast enough.

Feeling murderous intent rising in his heart, he looked over to see just who was gutsy enough to sneak attack him in this tiny kingdom, and saw a blue haired man, who was as equally, if not more, handsome than him. Right now, however, his handsome face was dark with murderous rage.

Thump!

Oliver's heart skipped a beat and a hint of fear arose in his heart when their eyes met.

'Don't tell me he was the reason why I was feeling uneasy?' He suddenly thought, but then he noticed his cultivation, 'An early-stage four-star mage? This weakling can't be the reason.' He immediately denied the thought, but didn't get reckless because his previous attack, which was more than capable enough to claim his life, was still fresh in his mind. Still, not becoming reckless didn't mean he wasn't angry. He looked at him with murder in his eyes, as she asked coldly, "Who are you?! How dare you sneak attack me?!"

He wanted to know just who he was, and what gave him courage to sneak attack him. Was he not afraid of dying?

The blue haired man glared at him before turning his head around to look at unconscious Emily and Lily, who was in the midst of activating a self-harming spell. Seeing this, his beautiful sapphire eyes rapidly turned crimson, his veins bulged, and his body started shaking. He was beyond furious.

This person was none other than Max, who rushed over as soon as he succeeded in breaking through to the four-star realm.

As for how he was able to break through in such a short time… it was his luck. Yes, he was lucky.

Even with all the mana stones, his fast cultivation speed, and the Nascent Energy he fortunately acquired from Claire, it would've been impossible to convert his mana to the four-star level.

Luckily though, after he increased his three-star mana to 100,000 units using mid-grade mana stones, and used the Nascent Energy to compress, purify and enhance a portion of his mana to the four-star, some hidden shackle on his Lust Overlord's Bloodline seemed to break, and his bloodline produced a significant amount of bloodline energy.

Max–who was panicking because he knew if he tried to convert his mana to four-star level the normal way, he would take a few weeks if he was fortunate, if not, he might take a longer time–suddenly had an epiphany. Since the Nascent energy can remove the bloodline curse on Ella, and can purify, compress and enhance my mana to the next level with ease, shouldn't my bloodline energy, which created the Nascent Energy after merging with women's pure yin energy, be helpful in doing the same albeit a low efficiency?

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, he immediately poured all of his Bloodline Energy into his mana core. When his bloodline energy came into contact with his mana, he immediately knew he was right. His bloodline energy was indeed helpful, even though it couldn't compare to his Nascent Energy which was easily more than ten or even twenty times more potent.

Still, he couldn't be more thrilled at the moment and immediately started refining his mana to the four-star level. However, when he had converted less than one thirds of his mana to the four-star level, he encountered a problem… his bloodline energy ran out.

Fortunately for him, after the hidden shackle broke, he no longer had to wait for his bloodline energy to recover on its own, and could recover it by feeding his bloodline some other form of energy such as Mana. Also, his mana absorption speed had increased by a few folds.

Therefore, he immediately absorbed a large amount of mid grade mana stones, and recovered his bloodline energy before restarting the mana conversion process. In just an hour, he used over 500,000 mid-grade mana stones to recover his bloodline energy, and finally managed to convert all 100,000 units of mana to the four-star level.

In the next half an hour, he underwent a transformation which increased his strength by several folds. Although he didn't know just how strong he had become, he knew he was incomparable to his past self, and should be able to one shot any high-stage and even peak four-star mages and demons. Not only that, he even felt he was strong enough to fight cross realms now. He knew just breaking through to the four-star realm from the peak three-star wasn't the only reason behind such a massive increase in his strength, the main factor was the hidden bloodline shackle that broke.

Also, this massive increase in strength and the ability to produce the bloodline energy weren't the only things it did, it also gave him another–not combat oriented, but a very useful–ability. The ability to sense the approximate location of the women he had had sex with.

When he tried this ability, and sensed both Claire and Lily, he was thrilled, and grateful to his system. Why was he grateful to the system? Because it chose him and granted him the Lust Overlord's bloodline?

No. He was grateful because he realized in the last moment before the system went dormant, not only it gave him the complete Lust Overlord's Bloodline, the Drop of Life, the technique for Garima, it also modified his bloodline and placed multiple shackles on it in a way that only after he broke the shackles, would he be able to access his bloodline abilities. This arrangement ensured he wouldn't be overwhelmed by the bloodline and could instead control it quite easily. It should be remembered, the Lust Overlord's Bloodline was quite an overbearing bloodline, and was not easily controlled. Even before he broke the first shackle, he was having a hard time controlling his lust. So, even though he would suffer even more now, it was countless times better than having to suffer the 'full force' of his bloodline.

Apart from this, what made him more grateful was the fact that he could sense Lily because logically speaking, he shouldn't be able to do so since at the time he had sex with her, he didn't have the Lust Overlord's Bloodline, but he could still sense her. What did it mean? It meant the system imprinted her scent, aura, or something similar in his bloodline, enabling him to sense her too.

After thanking the system in his mind, he didn't waste any more time and immediately rushed out of the inn to find Lily and Emily.

However, when he arrived at the place and saw Emily lying unconscious in Lily's hand, who was also being attacked, a dense killing intent and boiling rage replaced the happiness of successfully breaking through.

…

While Oliver waited for Max to respond, Max forcibly suppressed the urge to attack him, turned around and walked over to Lily and Emily. Before engaging Oliver, who was clearly a tough opponent, in a deathmatch, he needed to make sure Emily and Lily weren't in any danger.
