Strongest Mage with the Lust system

As the nascent energy entered the cocoon, the cocoon started turning a deep gold.

Pfff!

Max ignored it for a few moments, but when he noticed blood flow out of Emily's orifices with his bloodline sense, he immediately pulled his hand back, his expression turning grave.

After thinking for a moment, he realized that since the cocoon, which was the manifestation of her bloodline, absorbed his nascent energy, it became stronger, which would've been a good thing if Emily's physique was strong enough to endure it, but it was not.

"I need to bypass the cocoon and inject the nascent energy into her and reinforce her body." He muttered and fell into thought.

After a while, he sighed. He couldn't think of any way to inject nascent energy into her without damaging the cocoon, which he absolutely couldn't risk doing because he was sure it would harm Emily more.

Taking a deep breath, he placed his hand on the cocoon, right above Emily's chest, and started injecting nascent energy into it.

At a glance, what he was doing was no different than before, but it was because this time he was doing his best to control the nascent energy to stop it from spreading into the cocoon and was directing it further down.

Though the cocoon would still absorb some of it and become stronger, it would be a success as long as a major part of the energy reached Emily.

Fortunately for Max, even though he hadn't made any conscious effort to comprehend and attain a deeper affinity with the Nascent Energy, because it was created from his pure yang and bloodline energy, his natural affinity for it was strong enough for this task.

His tightly furrowed brows relaxed when he noticed over two-thirds of the nascent energy he was injecting into the cocoon was entering Emily's body.

Ten minutes later, the entire cocoon had turned a deeper shade of gold, and it seemed more robust than before. And thanks to the nascent energy continuously reinforcing Emily's body, mainly her mana veins, blood veins, and heart, it wasn't affecting her adversely.

Another ten minutes later, the cocoon started shrinking slowly.

Phew!

Half an hour later, Max exhaled in relief as he took his hand back and wiped sweat off his forehead.

"I again ran out of nascent energy." He chuckled dryly.

The cocoon had shrunk by over ninety percent into an inch-thick golden layer that was as hard as refined steel.

However, what surprised Max was the fact that, unlike before, his bloodline sense wasn't able to penetrate this layer no matter how hard he tried. Which also meant he wasn't able to see Emily's condition.

Though this worried him, there was nothing he could do about it.

"But… What kind of bloodline is she awakening? Is it from Amelia's family?" He muttered in confusion. Unlike Emily, Anna, and his other half-siblings, Ashton hadn't told him the legends of their bloodline. Hence his confusion.

…

After a few minutes, Max covered the cocoon with his bloodline energy, picked it up, and walked out of the isolation barrier that flickered and vanished.

"Oh, you are out?"

Hearing this voice, he looked ahead and saw Kriss sitting there, carving the ground with a black dagger. Several headless demon corpses were lying beside him, neatly stacked in a pile.

"It's a good thing I didn't leave, right?" He grinned at Max, his gaze briefly sweeping over the crimson pink figurine on his shoulder before returning to his face.

Max nodded, "Yeah. Thank you for staying."

"Did they come looking for me or accidentally stumble here?" He asked the important question and sighed in relief when Kriss said it was probably the latter.

"Good, this means the demons didn't see me leave the battlefield." He said before adding with a chuckle, "Now let's go, or your friends from the Seidel and Arasia family might come."

However, when he saw Kriss' expression, he stopped laughing and asked, "What is it?"

"You don't know that a few of the human king mages that fought with the demon kings were from the four noble families, do you?" Kriss said, and as he watched, Max's expression turned grim, his lips curled up in a smile.

"As they say, never underestimate anyone, especially families like ours that have been at the top of the kingdom for hundreds of years."

Max nodded.

Though when Kriss left the battlefield, he had considered the possibility of an ambush but was unafraid because he believed they wouldn't dare to target him after seeing his strength, but the possibility that noble families could have king mages had completely slipped his mind.

This place, although very close, was still outside the battlefield. This meant if they indeed attacked him here, emperors most likely wouldn't take action.

Suddenly, he remembered something and gave Kriss an ugly look.

If king mages of the Seidel and Arasia family came here, those from the Fuller and Martell would most likely stop them since he was their ally. This meant Kriss, taking advantage of his distracted mindset, was teasing him.

Kriss, seeing Max had realized what he was doing, laughed sheepishly and said, "Don't worry, Sir Max. I had already informed my grand elders to work together with the Fullers and stop those from the Seidel and Arasia families if they try to leave the battlefield."

"You want to get beaten, don't you?" Max glared at him.

"No, I don't." Kriss shook his head with a serious look on his face, making Max's lips twitch.

"Alright. Let's not waste time here. War Temple's resource exchange should start anytime now." He said, activating Phoenix Wings to rush back to the battlefield.

Kriss nodded.

However, just as they were about to leave, Max paused and looked to the side where a few figures had suddenly appeared.

Kriss tightened his grip on his dagger, and Max's expression turned grim. But when he took a closer look, he raised his brows in surprise.

"Keke, brother-in-law, we finally meet again."
