Swish!
Two fireball containing 200 MP each flew one meter in front of Belen and Haory and the water snakes heading towards them were vaporized. After destroying the snakes, the fireballs gradually disappeared under Max's control.
Belen and Haory sighed in relief and turned to look at Max. He was standing there a few meters in the back, looking at Bartan with a cold expression and his fist was burning with crimson fire more intensely than the previous time he cast his spell.
Recalling the words he just spoke, Belen blushed a little while a sweet feeling surged in her heart. On the other hand, Haory felt a bit bitter hearing him say 'woman' and not 'women'.
However, immediately after her face also reddened 'What am I thinking? Of course. he would say this since I'm not his woman…'
"Damn it!"
Bartan cursed and hurriedly injected more of his mana in the water barrier to make it stronger while his hand moved towards his spatial bag.
Shua!
Max suddenly moved like wind and appeared in front of him in the next instant. Using his complete physical strength, he punched at his barrier.
Sizzle~
As his fist came into the contact with the barrier, a sizzling sound was produced as the water barrier started to evaporate and the fire around his fist also started to dim a bit. This was to be expected since both fire and water were incompatible with each other.
Seeing this, Bartan's hand stopped moving towards his spatial bag and he was about to started conjured his water snakes to attack him. Max saw this and a mocking glint flashed in his eyes.
BANG!!!
Half a second after coming into the contact with the barrier, the [Caladis Brachium] worked and the barrier was shattered which made Bartan freeze. Right after that, Max's fist became bigger and bigger in sight and his breathing almost stopped due to the pressure and fear before he was hit squarely in the face.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Thud!
He flew through the air, crashing and shattering the rocks before finally colliding with the valley's hill and flopped down on the ground.
Shit!
The electric woman cursed under her breath and attacked Rima ferociously which made Leticia retreat with Rima. This time the electric woman didn't chase after them and took out the escaping talisman crushed it.
Swoosh!
An energy rippled from it and enveloped her figure. Seeing this, she sighed in relief as she was afraid that Bartan had given them defective talisman. Before she disappeared, she couldn't help but glance at Max.
Even though she tried to kill him in order to earn some resources, her eyes now held respect apart fear as she looked at him. 'It seems he is among the most talented new disciples this year.'
Leticia and Rima watched on helplessly as she disappeared.
"Tch, we couldn't even injure her again." Leticia said in frustration.
Rima didn't say anything and sat powerlessly on the ground before taking a few healing pills to heal her injuries. Her figure was riddled with wounds even though Leticia tried to help her to the best of her abilities.
Leticia glanced at her and knew that she must be feeling very useless right now but she didn't know what to say to comfort her as she was also feeling the same. She sat beside her to rest and looked towards Max.
Max was standing there looking at his fist with a frown. Before he suddenly moved towards Bartan who was lying there like a dead person.
This made Leticia and others think that maybe he wanted to torture him like he did to Bilaz and this made them cringe. Belen and Haory looked at each other before opening their mouth to stop him from doing such fiendish things. However, before they could say anything a weird chuckle resounded in their ears.
"Hahaa…"
The source of this laugher was Bartan whose hand suddenly moved before Max could reach him and took out and crushed the escaping talisman.
The teleportation energy enveloped him and his figure started to fade away. He raised his head to look at Max who was coming towards him at his fastest speed.
His face was all bloodly and disfigured with his nose and teeth broken. He was completely unrecognizable right now. He laughed recklessly showing his bloody teeth "Don't think you can kill me. Next time we meet, you'll definitely die."
Max suddenly conjured a 300 MP fireball and threw it towards him. He didn't want to let him escape as he will trouble in the future if left alive.
BOOM!
Fireball exploded and created a crater in the place, Bartan was lying until now but there was no sign of him right now which meant that he had been teleported away successfully before the fireball struck him.
"Fuck!"
Max cursed in anger and frustration. However, nothing could be done now. 'Next time, no matter what, I'll kill everyone who tries to kill me.' He swore.
However, realized that only increasing his mana reserves wasn't going to be enough when encountering other humans who weren't like beasts that acted on instinct.
Sigh!
He sighed and turn around to walk towards the ladies who were completely exhausted.
He noticed Rima whose white robes were dyed red and she had countless sword wounds all over her body including her breasts and face which made him angry once again.
He calmed down and asked "Are you alright?"
"Yes. I'm fine. Sorry I wasn't of any help." Rima said gloomily and then stood up and walked towards the cave.
Leticia looked at her departing figure and sighed.
If she had awakened any other element and not sound element, her strength right now should have been on par with Haory or Belen considering her talent which was even better than her and Belén.
However, now that she had a element although even rarer than sand or other elements and can be very deadly, but it didn't have much possibilities of helping her become strong because of the lack of suitable spells.
She joined the academy in the hopes of finding a sound element spell but there was none.
The spell she usually used was something she created herself just as Max created his Fireball spell.
Therefore, she couldn't improve even though she was desperate to do so.
Max also sighed seeing this. However, he suddenly remembered seeing a sound elemental spell in the system shop.
