Strongest Mage with the Lust system

"How long will it take for her to wake up?" Max impatiently asked the system.

[Depending on her bloodline's purity, it should take somewhere from a couple of hours to a day.] The system replied before adding, [Kid, I've used most of my strength to awaken her bloodline and need to sleep for at least three days to recover. So, you are on your own for these three days. Goodbye.]

"Oh?" Max's brows knitted together when he heard this and then hurriedly shouted, "Hey, old man, wait! If you got to sleep now, this death valley's energy will kill us."

When no reply came for a while, Max panic and just as he was about to grab still unconscious Amara and bolt out of the valley, he heard a loud and angry howl from the direction where he had killed Amara's companions.

"Ahhhhhhh! WHICH BASTARD DARED TO KILL MY SON?"

Hearing the shout, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Is this guy the father of one of those two demons? Damn it. How could they know about their deaths so soon?" He cursed.

Then he immediately got his answer, "The life token. They must have their life tokens with at their homes and when I killed them, those tokens got destroyed, alerting their families."

When he realised this, his expression turned gloomy, because only someone in a five-star realm or above could create a life token.

"What am I going to do? I can't stay here since the death energy will slowly kill me, neither can I go out with those angry demons outside."

Max felt helpless right now. "Without system's help, I'm still nothing at all." He spoke through clenched teeth.

'If I survive this time, I'll definitely do everything and anything to raise my strength quickly. This helplessness, I don't want to feel it ever again.' He swore in his heart.

Just then, he heard system's weak and sleepy voice, […Hehe, don't worry, kid. I've left some of my energy on you two so you will be safe for 24 hours in this valley.]

When Max heard this, he sighed in relief and flopped down on the bed. However, his expression was still unsightly.

…

5 hours quickly passed, but there was no change in Amara's condition.

After 12 hours had passed, Max started feeling a little restless. Only 12 hours were left before the system's energy will vanish and the valley's death energy will start affecting them.

But despite feeling restless, he couldn't do anything about it and only wait. Quickly, another 10 hours had passed, but Amara was still unconscious.

"Damn it. Why is her bloodline so pure?" Max cursed. If they weren't in danger, he would've been exhilarated about it, but now it only made him more anxious.

Very soon, only half an hour was left before the 24 hours were up. Max's heart had started beating faster.

'If she doesn't wake up in another 20 minutes, I'll have no choice but to leave the valley. I hope I won't be found out before she wakes up.' He thought.

Time slowly ticked away and another 10 minutes passed. Now only 20 more minutes were left. Max almost stopped breathing at this point and was staring at Amara in the blood red haze.

After another five minutes,

Whoosh!

The blood red haze around her started vibrating before slowly vanishing into her now naked body. Her clothes had disintegrated while she was covered in the haze.

After that, Amara slowly opened her eyes. When she felt the changes in her body, a very excited and happy smile appeared on her face.

He glanced at Max and was about to say something when he interrupted her. "Hurry and put on some clothes. We have to leave the valley right now."

"Huh? Why? What happened?" Amara was confused.

"I'll explain on the way. Let's go." Saying this, Max stored the bed, ran out of the cave and headed toward the valley entrance.

Whoosh!

Amara quickly put on another blood red dress. She then flapped her wings and caught up to Max before asking why was he in such a hurry.

While running, Max quickly explained her everything.

"So the senior has left to recover and Damon's and Regar's families are searching for their killer?" She murmured.

She then smiled calmly, "Don't worry, master. With me here, you will be safe." After pausing for a moment, she added with a strange smile, "However, we'll have to pretend that you are my slave who I found wandering here. Can master do that?"

She thought Max would be against the idea since she was his slave, not the other way around, but to her surprise, Max nodded calmly, "Yeah. No problem. Just make sure no one doubts me."

From the beginning, he knew he had to pretend to be her slave if he wanted to avoid being killed by the enraged demons.

As for why specifically slave and not her servant or her friend was because on the demon continent, humans were a minority and their status was the same as wild animals. So, they could only demons' slaves or food.

"It's good that master is agreeable." Amara said, containing her amusement while her eyes shined with craftiness. 'Hehe, it will be fun.'

Although she was his slave and couldn't think of doing anything against him thanks to the slave, it didn't mean she had come to terms with her new status. After all, she was a king-ranked demon's daughter and had her dignity. So, she intended to enjoy being his 'master' now that she had the perfect opportunity.

Suddenly thinking of something, she said, "Master, you have to give me your spatial ring because it'll be too strange for a lowly human to have such a thing, not to mention if they were to check its contents and find the talismans you used to kill Damon and Regar, they will know you were the killer and will immediately execute you and I'll be punished severely for covering for you."

"Hm?" Max raised his brows when he heard this before nodding. However, before handing his ring over, he stored all of its contents in the system inventory.

After Amara hid his ring, she once again looked at him. "Master… your clothes are unfit for your slave 'status', if you don't mind, can you change into these rags?"

Saying this, she took some dirty and torn rags.

"You are enjoying this, aren't you?" Max glared at her.

Amara flinched before saying with an obedient expression, "No master. I'm just looking out for you. Without the senior protecting you, if anyone notice something amiss about you, your life will be in danger."

"Heng!" Max snorted before taking the rags from her and changed into them. He then ruffled his hair and rubbed dust on his face.

Seeing all this, Amara almost couldn't hold back her laughter.

After a few minutes, they were out of the valley. To Max's surprise, within two minutes after they came out, a fierce-looking demon descended in front of them.

He looked at the duo strangely before bowing toward Amara and saying. "Fortunately, you are alright young lady Amara. Elder Seriath and Elder Keritch are looking all over for you."

Amara looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "Who are you?"

"I'm one of Elder Seriath's people." The demon replied.

"Okay. Take me to uncle Seritath and uncle Keritch." Amara ordered.

"Yes, young lady. But if you don't mind me asking, who is this human?" The demon asked, glancing at Max. According to the information, only she, Damon and Rager had come here. There was no one else. So, how come she had a human following her suddenly while those two were dead?

"He is my slave."
