Strongest Mage with the Lust system Chapter 837: Another Foe

Ling Han watched—worried and confused—Max retreat in panic.

Just as he was wondering what had happened, he saw sothing black streak through the air and ram against Max’s forehead.

Thud!

Imdiately, Max’s body went limp and he fell to the ground, unconscious.

Everything happened in all but an instant. By the ti Ling Han reacted, Max had fallen to the ground.

He rushed over, anxious, and scanned his body.

"Mm?" He raised his brows in confusion because he wasn’t able to penetrate his body with his mana, aning his Mana Sense was useless.

After failing for a few tis, defeated, he checked his pulse which was normal and looked for other signs of abnormality.

Imdiately, his gaze went up to his forehead and his eyes widened when he saw the black curse mark, similar to the one on his younger sister’s neck, was there.

No, it wasn’t just similar...

He picked Max up and took him to the bed before looking at Ming’er’s neck.

"Her curse transferred to him?" Ling Han looked at Max, feeling guilty.

...

While Ling Han blad himself for causing Max trouble, Max’s consciousness was in a dark space, facing a dark spider with gleaming red pupils.

[Keke, just a puny Four Star mage dares ddle in my business. See if I don’t torture you for eternity.]

A creepy voice that seed to co from a vast distance away echoed in Max’s mind.

Max’s lips curled up and he was about to retort when his expression changed because many negative thoughts had started appearing in his mind and with each negative thought, he could feel his mind being corrupted.

Imdiately, he tried to use the Nascent Energy to defend himself, but realized he barely had any left.

Gritting his teeth, he pulled it toward his head, wanting to protect his mind.

Sizzle!

When the Nascent Energy arrived in his mind, its sizzling sound filled his mind and he realized sothing.

While the Nascent Energy could protect his mind from the corruption, the corrupted could destroy the Nascent Energy, which was a surprise for Max as this had happened for the first ti.

Within a few monts, the Nascent Energy was destroyed and his mind beca vulnerable to corruption once again.

[Hmm? Is that Divine Energy? No, this is not the case. How strange! How can soone like you have such energy?!] The creepy voice sounded, evidently confused.

Max’s expression turned grim when he heard this. He knew he had really attracted this person’s attention, whoever he was.

’Let’s hope he doesn’t have the ability to track .’ He thought and taking a deep breath, he pulled on his Death Core, which trembled and sent a stream of Death Energy toward his mind.

He was taking a big risk now—the Death Energy was very volatile and if made even a tiny mistake in controlling it, it might kill him.

Unfortunately, with Nascent Energy exhausted and his bloodline energy being weaker than Nascent Energy, he had no choice but to use it unless he wanted his mind to be corrupted and then suffer the tornt until death claid him.

’It will be troubleso to recover.’ He thought. Despite the chaos in his mind, he was calm as he felt the Death Energy rush toward his head and then slowly envelop his mind in a protective layer.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The sizzling sounds echoed in his mind, but this ti it was not from Death Energy being snuffed out but the corrupting black energy being destroyed.

With the layer of Death Energy perfectly stopping more corrupting energy from entering his mind, he only had to deal with the corrupting energy that had already penetrated his mind.

He knew he wouldn’t be able to destroy it, but he could very well suppress its effect—the negative thoughts.

A while later, the chaotic thoughts ebbed under his conscious control. Then, he focused on the black spider and saw it staring at him with an incredulous look in its red eyes.

As if noticing his gaze, the voice sounded, [I never expected to encounter soone like you on this lower realm. This is truly... wonderful! I wonder if these energies can help transcend my realm.]

[Keke, no use in thinking about it, I’ll just find out when I rip the secrets of these energies out of you. Sit tight and wait for —I’m coming for you, kid!]

Once the voice finished, the black spider slowly vanished and his consciousness returned to his body.

His eyes swung open and he saw Ling Han staring at him.

"Are you alright, Young Master?" He asked. Just a few monts ago, he noticed him trembling violently. Just when he was thinking sothing bad was going to happen, he saw the black mark on his forehead evaporate.

"I’m fine." Max said, sitting up.

’How decisive!’

He exclaid in his mind and his expression hardened as he recalled how decisively the culprit destroyed the curse after realizing he could eliminate it with the Death Energy.

If his act of destroying his curse wasn’t proof enough that he could track him through so other ans, the words he said before destroying it were—That guy, the master of the curse, was coming for him.

When he beca enemies with the elven emperors, or when he realized Julius, Oliver’s father, wanted to kill him, while he had felt a sense of crisis, it wasn’t nearly as intense as the one he was feeling right now.

Ling Han felt even more guilty when he saw his expression, thinking the curse had caused him so serious harm.

Slowly, he knelt on the ground and lowered his head, "Though I don’t know what happened, I’m deeply apologetic for causing you trouble, Young Master. Please do whatever you like to to vent your anger. I wouldn’t bat an eye even if you kill , just take care of my sister."

Max snapped out of his thoughts when he heard him. For a mont, an urge to smack him to death appeared in his mind, but he suppressed it, knowing he couldn’t have known what would happen when he tried to erase the curse.

Taking a deep breath, he stood up and left these words, "Just take care of your sister." before he left the room. He needed so alone ti to think things through.
