Strongest Mage with the Lust system



[Host, can sell these corpses in the system shop.]

Hearing this, Max's eyes lit up in pleasant surprise and hurried to ask, 'How much SPs are they worth?'

[Five Snake demon corpses. Three mid-stage three-star: 50x3. Two high-stage, three-star (One with an infant bloodline): 80x1 + 120x1. Total value: 350 SPs.]

[Do you want to sell them? (Yes)/(No)]

'Hm? The bodies are worth several times more than their cores? And how come you didn't tell me I could sell their bodies too?' Max asked in a displeased tone. If the system had told him, he could even sell the corpses in the system shop, he would've earned a few thousand SPs.

[You never asked, host.] The system replied, annoying him further and just as he wanted to say something, it added.

[Besides, not all corpses can be sold in the system shop.]

Max took a deep breath and then calmly said, 'If I ever come across something that can be sold in the system shop, don't forget to alert me, alright?'

[Yes, host. It shall be done.] The system responded and then asked, [So, do you want to sell these corpses, host?]

Max glanced at Quinn, who was looking at him with hope filled eyes and sighed. 'No. They aren't worth much anyway. I'll let him have them so he could become stronger and be more useful to me.'

[Understood, host.]

"Go ahead. Take them." He said,

Quinn hurriedly nodded and crouched down beside the nearest corpse and did something which made Max raise his brows.

Kacha!

He opened his mouth, revealing his two snake-like fangs, and bit the corpse. Within seconds, the corpses started withering and his broken scales and injuries started recovering rapidly. 

Five minutes later, only the skin and bones were left of the corpse while Quinn had recovered over fifty percent of his injuries and scales.

Max felt his skin tingle when he saw this.

"What are you, a vampire?" He blurted out.

Quinn's eyes were closed, and he had an ecstatic expression on his face while his body was trembling slightly, as if he was experiencing an orgasm. 

When he heard Max's voice, he was pulled out of the pleasant sensation, which made him frown. However, he quickly hid it and asked, looking puzzled.

"What's a vampire, master?"

"Nothing. Tell me, how did you do it? Is it your race's special ability?" He asked, feeling curious. 

"Yes, master. It's my race's serpent devouring trait. We mostly use this to grow stronger." Quinn said.

Max's frowned when he heard this. If everyone from the Green Serpent race could use it, they would soon become a lot stronger, especially since they had an almost unlimited amount of 'food' to dine on the human continent.

This also meant that the demon team leader would become a big problem for him because he seemed to have taken him as his enemy.

'No. They shouldn't be able to use it as much as they want. There must be some limitation.' He thought. Because if there wasn't any limitation on this and they could devour people non-stop, wouldn't they be able to rule the entire world?

Indeed, when he asked this, Quinn nodded, "You are right, master. There is certainly a limitation. We need some time to digest and refine the absorbed energy after having our fill. During this time, we won't be able to fight and would become quite vulnerable."

"Moreover, we have to spend quite a lot of time strengthening our demon cores too. So, we are advised not to overdo it and always have someone to guard us when we digest the absorbed energy."

"Hmm." Max nodded, thought for a moment and then asked, "You must be familiar with your leader's personality. So, tell me. After all this happened, how high are the chances that he will return for revenge?"

Quinn understood what Max was worried about. After organizing his thoughts for a while, he said, 

"It's almost certain that he will return, master. And this time there won't by only three-star demons because I'm sure he would invite multiple four-star or even five-star demons."

"Hm? Is he someone important in your race?" Max asked when he heard this.

Quinn nodded, "Yes, master. He is one of the grandsons of a supreme Elder of our Green serpent race's core branch. So, many people listen to him out of respect and fear for his grandfather."

'I made another formidable enemy, huh?' Max thought, smiling wryly and then asked, "If you return to your camp, he will try to kill you, right?"

Quinn gulped when he heard this and nodded. "Yes, master. He wouldn't want to let anybody know of what exactly happened here."

"If your group had outnumbered our group by a lot or had four-star mages, he wouldn't have bothered to hide it, since that defeat would have been obvious and not shameful at all. But your group didn't have any four-star mages and had only three people more than us, but almost all of were killed and he had to flee. It is a shameful defeat and as the leader, he would have to face all the criticism if others were to find out."

Max narrowed his eyes at him upon hearing this and asked, "Since that's the case, you won't be of any use to me? Isn't that right?"

Quinn felt chills run down his spine when heard this and saw the killing intent flickering in his eyes. Therefore, he immediately cried out,

"M-Master, as long as I return to the camp, he won't be able to do anything to me as the infighting in strictly prohibited there and I'm confident he won't be able to find me before I enter the camp."

"That's good then." Max smiled and then said, "Now here's what you need to do…"

After he finished instructing him, he imprinted his mana signature in his communication crystal.

"Don't forget to report me everything on time."

"Yes, master."

"Alright. Absorb the rest of the corpses and then go back." Max said and then returned to the elf trio.

They had gathered and stored their comrades' corpses in their spatial rings, had eaten the healing pills and were only waiting for him.

As soon he they saw him walk over, the elf leader ordered, "Let's go."

---

It didn't take long for them to return to the Ninam city. When the guards saw their group of four, they frowned and knew something bad had happened to them. Immediately, they informed Ryan of this, who arrived a few moments later.

"What happened?" He asked in a cold voice.

The elf leader explained everything from start to finish.

After hearing this, Ryan closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "We lost another seven warriors."

He then turned to Max and nodded. "Thank you for saving them and you did a good job by making him your slave. If he doesn't get found out upon returning, he will prove quite helpful to us."

Max just nodded in response.

"Alright. Go and rest now." Ryan said before vanishing.

The elf team leader nodded at Max. "I'll take my leave first. Thank you again for your help out there."

Saying this, he went away. The other elf also followed. Only the elf who was odds at with Max remained. 

To Max's surprise, he bowed toward Max. "I apologize for blaming you and looking down on you earlier. I hope you forgive me."

"It's alright." Max nodded, accepting his apology, and went toward his mansion.

He had just taken a step inside when a voice sounded in his head.
