Strongest Mage with the Lust system

"Law Resonance? They can resonate with the law?" Max asked,

"Yes," Esme nodded. She then proceeded to explain just what the Law Resonance was and why it was so special.

"When we comprehend the law, we are only able to gain a subtle understanding of it because… well, the laws are just too complex. Then unless we can meditate in places where laws are concentrated or have a medium to sense them better, we aren't able to deepen our understanding.

But when we keep trying and trying, sometimes when we are extremely lucky, we achieve law resonance—we resonate with the essence of the law and communicate with it. During the moments of resonance, our understanding and comprehension rapidly increase.

Many who aren't able to step into the Whisperer of the Law, Bender of the Law, and even Master of the Law stages break through and step into these stages."

She paused after saying this before adding, "However, as I said, it rarely happens, and you have to be extremely lucky to achieve it. It is so rare that in the last two hundred years, only three people in the entire central plains had it."

She then glanced at Mina and said, "However, people like her, they can resonate with their respective laws whenever they wish."

Mina's light brown eyes shone brightly when she heard all this.

"So, you mean I can easily comprehend the earth law and would have no bottleneck when I reach… king and emperor realm?" She asked, feeling it was too good to be true.

"That's correct. You only need to work hard at cultivation and focus on increasing your realm." Esme nodded.

"That's good." Mina nodded and looked at Max, waiting for his answer to her request.

Seeing this, Esme cautioned, "Remember, you should do your best to hide that you can resonate; otherwise, people would want to capture you."

Max was thinking how he should help her because he only had a few cultivation resources at hand, like mana crystals, but currently, she was too weak to use them.

When he heard Esme, he raised his brows and asked, "Why? Can she somehow be beneficial to others?"

"Yes," Esme nodded, "If you meditate near her and have her constantly resonate with the earth law, the chances are—although not much—you would be able to comprehend it even if you are not an earth elemental mage. As for those who are… well, I don't need to say how much they would benefit."

"This… is a big problem then," Max said.

"Indeed. That's why, almost every outlier, when found out, becomes someone else's property if they don't have a strong background or are strong enough to resist others." Esme said with a grim expression on her face.

She didn't want to worry them too much; that was why she didn't tell them that even those with strong backgrounds were not safe once their innate resonance ability was revealed. After all, no power, as long as it did not possess absolute strength to dominate everyone, could face the unrelenting pressure of countless experts and powers.

…

Mina, seeing Max was frowning deeply, said, "Don't worry, I won't use earth resonance unless it's absolutely necessary or I'm in a safe place."

"Yes, you should do that."

Mina's eyes widened, and Max's and Esme's expressions fell because… it wasn't them who spoke just now.

Swoosh!

Max jumped to his feet and stood in front of the ladies, facing the person who had appeared in the room at some point.

It was a female elf, dressed in a light yellow, tight-fitting dress that highlighted her strong build. Although she wasn't too muscular, her muscles were well defined.

She was beautiful, but her beauty had a wildness to it. Her long yellow hair was unkempt, and her eyes, the same color as her hair, had an almost manic glint in them as she stared unblinking at Mina standing behind Max with a fearful look on her face.

"A monarch…" Esme whispered to let Max know what kind of existence she was.

Max wasn't too surprised when he heard this because the moment he saw her, he knew she was way stronger than Alton, Wyomin, and other emperors he had come across until now.

"Little human lady… you want to become stronger, right? Come with me; I can help you. In return, you just have to use your gift to help me, just a few hours daily," the Elf Monarch said, taking a light step forward.

Boom!

Both Max and Esme were unceremoniously flung to the sides and crashed into the walls.

Mina gulped in fear, feeling her towering presence.

"Take my hand, little lady. Otherwise I would have to force you, which I don't really feel like doing." The monarch said, extending a hand toward her.

"..."

Despite the situation, Mina's lips twitched at her words.

She was clearly forcing her but was claiming otherwise.

How shameless and overbearing!

She took a deep breath, glanced at Max and Esme, who were sprawled onto the ground, and said, "Don't harm them."

As she said this, she cautiously grabbed her hand, which made the elf monarch grin wildly.

"Good decision." She said, and then…

Whoosh!

They disappeared from the room.

Several minutes after they left, Max and Esme twitched and slowly regained consciousness.

Max immediately scanned the room and didn't see the monarch or Mina. His expression darkened.

After a moment, he checked his body for injuries, but there were none.

'She wasn't hostile, huh?' He noted, his expression still not changing.

Slowly standing up, he walked over to Esme and saw she had also regained her senses but was staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He scanned her body and sighed in relief upon seeing she was also unharmed.

"Hey…" He gently shook her.

Esme's eyes gradually regained focus. She looked at him and said in a desolate tone, "I was wrong…"

Max furrowed his brows. He could see she wasn't being like that because Mina was taken away but due to something else.

He didn't ask what she meant immediately, and Instead, helped her up and led her to the bed.

Only then did he ask what she meant.

"What do you mean?"
