"Grrrr…!"
The wolf leader snarled and its eyes turned dangerously red being smashed into the ground like this.
Swish!
It swiped its claws above its head to slash off Max's arm. However, Max easily dodged and retreated.
"Grrrr…"
The wolf leader kept snarling while glaring at Max and tried to stand up to chase after him.
Thud!
However, its legs wobbled and it once again fell on the ground as blood started leaking out from the scorched wound on its head and its mouth also bleed as a lot of teeth had broken due to the impact.
"What defense!" Max exclaimed as he retreated and watched the beast trying to stand up only to fail.
Because the wolf was agility-type beast, its defense shouldn't be anything good. However, Max was astonished to find out that its skull was more than two times tougher than the masked woman's dark shield which was a grade two magic artefact.
'Thankfully I can use two thousand MP to cast my spell or I would have died there.' He sighed in relief. If he wasn't able to damage its head to the degree where it was having difficulty coordinating its movements, it could have slashed him in two the moment his fist landed on its head.
While Max was lost in thought, Everyone, broke out in exclamations.
"Powerful! Who is he? Is he really a newbie like us?"
"Indeed. His strength has surpassed everyone here by two folds."
"You don't know him? He is one of the best newbies that got selected from Zexin city."
"Zexin city? No wonder we don't know him. He is from different state."
"Don't you think the spell he used just now was too overpowered? I wonder what grade is that."
Everyone was dumbfounded by his show of strength and looked at him as if he was a god. Most of the present weren't recruited from the Zexin city so they hadn't interacted with everyone and didn't know him.
Therefore, those who knew him, proudly told about him.
In a corner, stood a woman who was as beautiful as Haory. She was facing a middle stage wolf that was currently in a dazed state.
'He seems to be a bit stronger than before. I hope he doesn't find trouble with me.' She thought was poured her mana into her sword.
Weng~
Her sword hummed as small electric snakes danced around on its blade.
Shua!
The electricity encircled her feet and she vanished from where she was standing and appeared beside the dazed wolf.
Katcha!
Her sword slashed at its neck at the speed comparable to the wolf leader's attack speed.
Before the wolf could even react, its neck was sliced off.
"Huu…"
She took a deep breath to retract her sword as the wolf fell on the ground with a 'thud'.
However, apart from a few disciples who were facing the same wolf as her, no one noticed this.
…
"Amazing!!" The second female Elder exclaimed. "This disciple's strength is on par with the second-year disciples. Elder Jack, your luck is indeed great to have him under your wing."
"Mhm." Elder Jack nodded slightly. However, he had a frown on his face. 'Such a strong fire elemental spell! I think he never used it during the training and it doesn't look like it's from the academy.'
"Mm, he is strong and has great presence of mind. However, his spell is too overpowered. It should be a peak tier spell which only us Elders can learn. Where did he find it?" The first female Elder said with frown.
Elder Jack glanced at her and said expressionlessly "It is indeed a peak tier spell. But there isn't any fire elemental spell that are used with fist like his in the academy. So, it's not stolen from the academy. Therefore, there is no need to think how or from where he got this. There are many disciples whose family has some ancestral spell or have found some legacy."
The female Elder looked at him and smiled "Hehe, Elder Jack, I was just a bit curious."
"Oh, that electric girl also isn't too bad." She said upon seeing her slay a middle stage wolf in one strike.
"Yeah. She isn't bad and has good talent." The second female Elder said with a face full of smile. She was her mentor. So, she would be happy to see her disciple perform well.
…
"What are you waiting for? Kill the rest of the beasts." Max shouted upon seeing everyone dazed and raised his hand up.
[Death Rain]
Fire arrows materialized above him in just a second and he pointed at wolf leader, who was struggling to stand up.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Pak! Pak! Pak!
More than seventy, one-meter-long fire arrows converged towards the wolf leader and pierced towards its body.
The arrows started falling onto its body at high speed. However, they weren't able to cause much harm to it. After all, It was a high stage beast and true to its name had high resistance to fire.
Howl!!
Seeing this, Max directed rest of the arrows towards its injured head and were able to pierce inside causing it to howl in pain.
After all the arrows had finished falling down, the wolf leader was on its last breath.
Max smiled seeing this and walked towards it to finish it off.
"Friend, how about you let me finish it off?" The bulky man bowed towards Max and asked.
"Mm?" Max frowned. "Do you want to claim it?" Max asked coldly as his mana swirled.
"Peak stage?" The bulky man and the girl behind him murmured as their expressions became even more astonished.
The bulky man quickly reacted and shook his head "No, you misunderstood me. I was saying that because this wolf is at its last breaths and would try to kill anyone that got close to it. As you can see my element gives me very tough defense so I'll be comparatively safe. Don't worry, its core will belong to you."
"Oh! You can go ahead and kill it then and bring the core to me." Max said as he understood why he wanted to help him.
