Chapter 542 Charmed Ella

As he expected, the voice continued,

"...Unlike before, this time, the invasion isn't for the training purpose or to recapture this land. They have an ulterior motive, and if I'm not wrong, the races of this continent have colluded with them, too."

Hearing this, the expression of both the middle-aged man and the old witch changed. Evidently, they understood what their 'ulterior motive' was.

The old witch narrowed her eyes and harrumphed, "Hmph! They are digging their graves."

The middle-aged man, however, seemed worried and asked, "Senior, if that's true, doesn't this mean those old monsters have finally decided to move?"

"Tch! So, what if they have? You old coward!" The old witch scoffed, but worry flashed in the depths of her eyes, too. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

Although they were very strong and didn't fear fighting against most monarch rank mages, they couldn't do anything against those old monsters. There was a very large chasm between the monarch realm and the supreme realm, after all.

"...You need not worry about them. Just call the others back and wait." The voice said.

"Yes, senior." The middle-aged man nodded and took out his communication crystal.

...

Inside the temple, there was a 10 feet tall, rectangular, golden stele in the middle of the hall. On the floor around the stone were many formation marks arranged in a big, complex formation.

On the right side, just outside the formation's boundary, a handsome middle-aged man in a clean white robe was sitting cross-legged, a calm expression on his face as he stared at the golden stele.

[That's correct, host.]

'Suppress it again.' He didn't ask why it stopped suppressing it, because it was probably because the system wanted Ella to submit to him, though he faintly felt this wasn't the reason.

[Apologies, host. The system can no longer do it.]

'Why?' Max frowned. 'Is it because you want me to learn to control it or something like that?'

[Yes, host. But this is just one of the two reasons.] The system said and without waiting for Max to ask, it added, [The other reason is that the system can no longer do it because the continuous integration of the lust overlord's bloodline is continuously increasing host's charm, and the lust overlord bloodline's ability to resist outside influence is getting stronger.]

[If the system were to suppress your charm, it'll consume a lot of energy which the system can no longer afford to spend. Of course, even if there wasn't a lack of energy, the system would still not do it. Host should learn to control it~.]

"Tsk!" Upon hearing this, Max clicked his tongue, annoyed. He knew it was for the best if he learned to control it, but it would take time, which he lacked very much now. Besides, if he went near Emily without controlling it, she would be affected, too. Though he liked the prospect of her becoming his woman... he didn't want his 'unnatural' charm to be the reason for it.

He thought for a moment, glanced at Ella, who blushed slightly feeling his gaze on her and asked the system, 'How does my charm affect women? It doesn't manipulate their minds, right?'

[Of course not, host. It just makes you appear more appealing to them and gives them a sense of security, comfort and happiness etc. when they are with you.] The system responded.

Max nodded, relieved. As long as he wasn't taking away their reasoning power, it was good. He didn't want a woman without her own personality, after all.

'Okay. Tell me how should I go about controlling it? Is there any technique or something like that?' He asked. [Host, the charm isn't something one can turn off and on whenever one wants. But it can be controlled and the way to control it is to gain mastery over your aura sphere.]

After a pause, the system continued, [Mastering the aura sphere is very important, especially to you, host. If you can master it, not only can you control your charm, create a force-field to suppress and even kill your enemies, which you did a while ago, you can also use it to erase your presence, to increase the effectiveness of certain spells and techniques and many other things.]

[In short, you'll be a lot stronger once you can control your aura sphere.]
