Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Chapter 497 Amazing slave seal

"So, you really took him as your slave." He said,

Quinn shuddered at his gaze and instinctively moved behind Max for protection, even though he doubted that if this elf wanted to kill him, even he wouldn't be able to save him. The elf was almost as strong as his team leader, after all.

Max ignored his killing intent and calmly nodded. "Yeah. He will be more useful to us than dead."

The elf leader shifted his gaze from Quinn to Max and frowned. "Are you thinking of him using as a spy? If yes, then you should forget about it."

"Why is that?" Max asked, curious.

"Because the demons could easily check if someone is branded with a slave seal or not, and if I'm not wrong, each time they return to their camp, they should be checked." Saying this, he glared at Quinn. "Isn't it right?"

"Y-Yes. That's right." Quinn nodded.

"Is that the only reason?" Max asked. He didn't look even a bit bothered by this revelation.

The elf frowned. "Isn't that the reason enough?"

The corner of Max's lips curled up in a smile. "No. Because no one will be able to tell if he is branded with a slave seal, at least no one in the king realm or below. And as far as I know, the strongest demons should be king ranked demons, right?"

He was so confident because, while he was in the Bloodwing city on the demon continent, he had encountered two king ranked mages: Amara's father and aunt, but none of them could tell that a slave seal was planted inside her soul.

Quinn nodded, "Although there are a few emperor-ranked demons too, they only meet king ranked demons who supervise the army. So, if what master says is true, then there should be no problem."

After hearing Max's words, he was shocked because people above the mortal boundary could check a person thoroughly and find out if he had a slave seal or not. But Max was sure that no king ranked demon would be able to detect it. It was incredible.

However, it also made him sigh in relief because he knew if anyone found out that he had become enemy's slave, he would be killed without any questions asked.

"So, there are emperor ranked demons too, huh?" Max mumbled. If by a stroke of bad luck some emperor demon found out about his slave seal in Quinn, his plan would fail, which he didn't want to happen.

So, he took out his communication crystal and sent two messages and waited.

In her room, Amara was cultivating with a blood gem in her hand when her communication crystal rang. She knew it was Max because only he could send her a message on the human continent. Maybe her brother also could if he was in the range, but she had tried many times over the week, but she couldn't connect to him, which meant he was quite far away.

She took it out and when she heard the message, confusion appeared on her pretty face, but she obeyed.

Message was: [For a while, stop using the mask.]

At the same time, at the garden at the back of the mansion, the old granny and little Gene were walking leisurely, breathing fresh air when suddenly, old granny felt her communication crystal ring.

Taking out, she realized it was Max and when she heard the message; she raised her brows.

[Grandma, can you tell if there is any seal planted in Amara's soul? Also, don't be surprised.]

"What is it, grandma?" Little Gene asked.

"Nothing. Just your cousin asking something." Old granny said before closing her eyes. She spread her soul sense toward Amara's room and quickly scanned her.

Her pupils constricted when saw that Amara wasn't a human but a demon. She didn't know it because neither Max, Anna, Mina or Garima told her and she couldn't 'see' her true self thanks to [Mask of terra]'s concealment.

'This kid, just what is he thinking by having a demon by his side? Don't he know the consequences if someone were to—well, they can't find out since even I couldn't until now.' She smiled wryly and then scanned her again to check if there was any seal planted in Amara's soul.

A moment later, she sent the message back. [I can't detect any seal in her. But kid, I have to say you really have some 'guts'.]

again. 𝑏𝑒𝑑𝘯𝑜𝘷𝑒𝑙．𝑐𝘰𝘮

The elf leader watched him as he conversed through the After he got the message from the old granny, he sighed in relief and then sent the message to Amara, telling her to use the mask again.

The elf leader watched him as he conversed through the communication crystal and decided to drop the matter. Since he had made up his mind, who was he to stop him? Besides, the one to suffer would be Quinn, not him.

After Max put away the communication crystal, he said to Quinn, "You'll be safe."

He then glanced at the elves, "Want help with your pois—" He stopped mid-sentence because he noticed that none of the three showed any signs of being poisoned.

"Weren't you poisoned too?" He asked.

"We were. But we had pills to counter poison, prepared especially in case we got poisoned from demons like them." The elf leader explained and then immediately added, "I wanted to give one to you, but you were busy and then he had helped you with it."

"I see." Max nodded in understanding before glancing at Quinn. "Come with me."

Quinn nodded and followed him. They walked over to the demons' corpses and Max extracted the demon cores he couldn't before.

When Quinn saw he only took their demon cores and storage rings, he hesitantly asked, "M-Master, can I take the corpses since you don't want them?"

Max frowned when he heard this and saw the greedy light flashing in his eyes.

'Can he use even the corpses to get stronger?' He thought, slightly surprised. Since the corpses were useless for him, he didn't mind allowing him to do whatever he wanted with them.

"Alri—"

But just as he was about to nod his head, and say 'alright', system's voice sounded in his head all of a sudden.
