Strongest Mage with the Lust system

After a while, hall's gate opened, and Osmont walked out. Unlike before, he had a gloomy expression.

When Keritch and Seriath saw this, they let out a sigh of relief. Since he wore such an expression, young lady Amara must be alive.

Seriath cleared his throat and carefully asked, "What happened, young Lord? Is everything alright?"

Osmont glared at him and said, "How could that be? Don't you know my dear sister Amara is in danger?"

'Although it would've been better if she had died.' He added in his mind.

Then he ordered, "Since she went out with your sons, it's your duty to find her and bring her back safe and sound. If she isn't unharmed when she comes back, you'll have to face my father's wrath. Now go."

Keritch and Seriath exchanged glances, their expression turning gloomy. Sure enough, they couldn't avoid responsibility.

"Yes, young Lord." The duo nodded before flying out of the mansion and returned to their respective mansions.

Both of them gathered a team of ten four-star demons and headed toward the dead forest.

The dead forest was over 500 miles away from their branch, but with their flying speed, they arrived here in a little less than an hour.

Keritch and Seriath glanced at their people and shouted, "You guys are to search every corner of the forest and find young lady Amara. If she is in danger and you can save her, do it immediately and if the enemy is stronger, send us a message and we'll instantly arrive. Remember, if you find either of our son's dead body, bring it to us without delay. Now disperse!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Hearing the order, everyone flew away in different directions.

After giving Keritch a look, Seriath also flew away.

Keritch stood there silently for a moment. He then started flying around the edge of the forest to find his son's trail. Unlike others, his priority was to retrieve his son's body and then finding his killer.

"I swear I'll tear you to pieces when I find you." He said through clenched teeth.

Soon, he found Amara and others' trail and arrived at the place where they had fought with Max.

Looking around, he soon saw his sons' corpse, which was cleanly cut into two.

"Mana?" His brows furrowed when he found it was an attack fueled by mana that killed his son. "It means the killer isn't a demon or a beast since there aren't any signs of beastly aura. Who did it then?"

Whoosh!

Just as he was wondering this, he heard a whooshing sound before Seriath descended a few meters away from him.

Keritch glanced at him threateningly, indicating that if he dared to say anything bad about his dead son, he will kill him. But surprisingly, Seriath didn't even glance at him and was instead looking at the ground with a murderous look on his face.

"Hm?" Keritch followed his gaze and another corpse, which was similarly cut into two pieces.

After checking his son's corpse, Seriath also came to the same conclusion as Keritch.

"Ahhhhhhh! WHICH BASTARD DARED TO KILL MY SON?" He howled toward the sky.

Boom!

His aura and demon energy burst forth with reckless abandon and overturned the ground in the twenty meters radius of him before turning it into small dust particles. Only his son's corpse was left intact.

His howl reverberated throughout the forest, alerting every living being.

'It seems elder Seriath has found his son's corpse.' The demons thought.

Seeing him grieve like this, Keritch raised his brows. He always thought that Seriath didn't care about this youngest son of his, but it turned out that he was wrong.

After a while, Seriath calmed down.

Keritch then approached him after storing his son's dead body in his storage ring and said, "Seriath. We shouldn't waste time grieving our losses for now, but looked for the killer instead. From the killing pattern, it seems the same person killed both of our sons."

Seriath turned his head toward him and coldly said, "Then what the fuck are you doing standing here? Why haven't you used your tracking skills and find me the killer already?"

Keritch didn't get angry when he heard this, but closed his eyes instead and used his tracking spell.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and pointed in the direction of the dead valley. "There. That person left in that direction."

Whoosh!

As soon as Seriath heard this, he flew in the pointed direction. Keritch also followed him.

However, before they neared the dead valley, Keritch suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Seriath also had to stop. He glanced at him asked coldly, "Why did you stop?"

Keritch frowned before closing his eyes and then said in confusion, "I'm not sure what trick he used, but the trails have vanished here."

Hearing this, Seriath frowned before saying, "Since this is the case, we can only search for him randomly. You keep trying to use your spell. His trail would appear somewhere else."

Whoosh!

Saying this, he flew in a random direction. Keritch stood there for a while, his brows tightly knitted together in deep thought. However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think how the killer had seemingly vanished into thin air.

"Could it be that the killer is a king-ranked or higher demon?" He murmured before immediately shaking his head, "No. Why would such a powerful person come here and kill some kids?"

"Wait!" Suddenly, he thought of something. "Young lady Amara is still alive. Could the killer be the branch leader's enemy and came here to kidnap her so he could coerce him?"

"But this also doesn't make sense. If he really is the branch leader's enemy, he should know even though lady Amara is his daughter, he doesn't value her much because her talent is ordinary. If he wanted to kidnap someone, he should've gone after his other kids, such as young Lord Osmont."

He kept thinking of other possibilities and then denying them for a while, but didn't come to a solid conclusion. In the end, he could only shake his head in dejection and fly in a random direction to look for other trails.

…

Meanwhile, in a cave in the dead valley…

Max was looking at Amara, who was covered in a blood red haze, in anticipation.
