Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 444  Original system

After taking a deep breath to calm down, he stood up and bowed toward Orlan. "I apologise, my lord. I never expected my breakthrough to the three-star realm would cause such a commotion and disturb your esteemed selves."

"Oh?" Orlan raised his brows when he heard this. Although he didn't believe that a breakthrough to the three-star realm could cause such commotion, he nevertheless sent his sense into Max's body.

Immediately, a slightly astonished and curious expression appeared on his face and he muttered, "Interesting! Your mana core is a little different from ordinary cores, and a quite stronger than others on the same level. Furthermore, your body is comparable to a peak two-star demon of our race, too. That's very… strange."

The guard commander heard him and also sent his sense into Max's body. A moment later, he also had an astonished expression on his face.

Both were silent for a few moments before Orlan glanced at Amara and smiled. "You found a good servant."

Whoosh!

Saying this, he vanished from the room along with the guard commander.

In the sky above Amara's villa, the guard commander glanced at Orlan and asked,

"Family leader, that kid isn't ordinary. When he came here, he was at the peak of two-star, but just a month later, he has successfully broken through to the three-star. This speed is extraordinary even among the geniuses of our race, let alone in the human race. On top of that, as a human, his body is comparable to a two-star demon. That's very unusual."

"That's correct." Orlan nodded while looking down at Max's room.

"Shouldn't we capture and interrogate him?" The guard commander suggested and continued, "I don't believe someone like him willingly became young lady Amara's servant and doesn't have any ulterior motive."

Orlan shook his head, "It's alright. Although he should have some ulterior motive, I believe it isn't any harmful to us. Moreover, with him as a servant, that girl will be a little safer when she joins the war with humans."

"But, leader, what if he has harmful thoughts about us? You know, although the humans on the demon continent fear and obey us, they also hate us to the bone. Moreover, it seemed young lady Amara hasn't placed any slave seal on him. He can stab us in the back anytime." Said the guard commander. He wasn't comfortable with Orlan's idea. In his opinion, someone like Max should be killed at the earliest moment possible to avoid future problems.

"Don't worry about it." Orlan shook his head and vanished. The guard commander frowned. Orlan's strange behaviour confused him.

'He must have some plans about that kid,' He thought before vanishing.

…

"M-master, are you are alright?" Amara asked after Orlan and the commander went away.

"Yes. I'm fine." Max nodded and ordered, "Go out for a while."

"Yes, master." Amara nodded obediently walked out of the room, closing the door as she left.

Phew!

Max exhaled loudly and flopped back onto his bed. His breakthrough took almost a month all that while, his mind was focused without any rest, so right now he was mentally exhausted.

However, before resting, he had more important matters to attend to.

Taking a breath, he softly called out, "Hello, system. Are you here?"

[Yes, host.] The message flashed on his retina.

"Um, can't you speak like you used to?" Max asked, seeing it talk in texts.

Another messaged flashed in response, [No, host. Communication through speech expends comparatively more energy. The system has just recovered and used almost all of its energy to kill that worm.]

"Okay. Now, can you tell what just happened? What does system recovering mean and did you kill that s-supreme mage?" He asked. injured and fell into a dormant state. Somehow, the system arrived on this lower plane and the worm from before, who the host Although he had a guess after reading all the system messages, he wanted to confirm what really happened.

[To answer the host, a long time ago, the system was severely injured and fell into a dormant state. Somehow, the system arrived on this lower plane and the worm from before, who the host addressed as supreme mage, tempered with and attached his soul to it, wanting to take control of it.]

[Unfortunately for him, the system seemed to have resisted unconsciously, causing him to fail. After that, the host got the system, and he was slowly taking control of the host and the system. Fortunately, the system recovered before he could succeed and yes; he has been erased from the existence as his punishment for forcefully trying to control the system.]

System's words shocked Max. Lower plane? System was injured and unconscious? The supreme demon who had almost become his friend wanted to control him? Many questions filled his mind.

Taking a deep breath, he started with the first question, "What do you mean by lower plane system?"

[Host isn't qualified to know yet.] The system message flashed, which filled his forehead with black lines.

"Alright. Tell me why were you injured and who created you?"

[Host isn't qualified to know yet.]

-_-

Max was speechless. A moment later he asked, "Was the old man really wanted to control me and did you kill him just because he fiddled with you?"

[Yes, host. He had already planted a slave seal on your soul. Whenever he wanted, he could activate it and control you. To answer the second question, yes. The system killed him for that precise reason. System's dignity cannot be tarnished.]

'That bastard! To think I almost considered him a friend. Good thing he is dead or I would have killed him… after becoming stronger.' Max thought in anger.

"So, system, now that you've recovered, would anything change?" Asked Max.

[Good question, host. Yes, things will change. That worm couldn't utilise system's properly, which resulted in host's developed too slow. Now the system will go under a complete transformation and return to its original self.] The system answered.

Right then, a message in pink fonts appeared.

[Ding! A mission has been issued. Mission: Have sex with a female who is at least as strong as the host. Time limit: 24 hours.]

[Mission Reward: System's complete transformation.]

[Punishment upon failure: System will become unusable.]

Right then, a floating window appeared in front of him.

{Do you accept the mission? [Yes] [No] }

Seeing the mission, Max thought, 'This is new.' He then immediately clicked [Yes] while feeling a little excited and anticipation.

"Let's quickly complete the mission now. I can't wait to see system's original form." He muttered before taking out his communication crystal and called Amara to his room.
