Whoosh!
Just as he said, all his Kill points and LPs vanished and his mana and intelligence increased.
[Intelligence: 155]
[Mana: 51000/51000]
[Cultivation: High-stage, three-star realm.]
Seeing his improved stats, he sighed in relief. 'At least I don't need to use 100 mana units to increase one point of mana. However… 1000 points for just 1 point increase in intelligence. It's too much.'
Max wasn't surprised by this distribution because, in the information the system sent to him previously, this was already mentioned.
[Until the host reaches the five-star realm, the Lust/Kill point to the Mana conversion rate will stay the same. 10:1. However, to increase other stats, the conversion rate will be 1000:1.]
'Now I just need to improve my spells. Hm?' Suddenly he frowned and asked, 'System, these spells, [Calidus Brachium] and the [Flame Barrier] were only grade-three. Why is that it is still so overpowered when I can only cast with just over 20% of its maximum capacity?'
He had been meaning to ask this, but would always have his attention diverted to other things.
The system was silent for a moment and then said, [Host, no matter the spell, even if it's a grade one spell, if host can control it properly, he can use it even against supreme mages and they'll have to fear it.]
[These spells are graded into different grades is because normal people have to use higher grade activation and control method to display more power. However, the host isn't normal since he has the system. With system's help, you can exhibit more power as long you as have enough mana and control even with lower grade spells.]
'So, you mean my current spells with become stronger along with me?'
[That's right, host.]
"That's amazing!" Max couldn't help but shout. Since this was the case, he wouldn't need to buy more spells and those points he could use to get stronger.
He then remembered his first spell which he created himself, [Fireball] and the area of effect (AOE) spell, [Death Rain].
"I need to check them out." He muttered and quickly jumped to his feet, rushing toward the door.
Fortunately, there were still a few hours until his appointment with Rima so he could try out his spells.
However,
Just as he opened his door, he saw a beautiful Elvin girl standing there, looking at him with bright eyes filled with surprise and deep love.
Surprised because she had been standing there for over 10 minutes, hesitating whether she should knock on the door but the door itself opened and love because she was none other than Maria.
As Max watched her, tears started streaming down her face before she threw herself at him, hugging him tightly.
Max also put his arms around her. Gently caressing her soft as a silk back, he said, "How are you, Maria? Missed me?"
Maria didn't respond and just continued crying silently while burying her face in his broad chest.
"Shh! Don't cry," Max said, hugging her tighter, but she didn't stop.
After over five minutes, she gradually calmed down and spoke in a mosquito-like voice,
"I-I missed you… missed you a lot. I missed you every day and every night. H-However… however, it seems my Lord didn't miss me. That's why you didn't come to meet me."
"Eh? Who told you I didn't miss you? I missed you a lot, too. I wanted to come many times but sigh… I got busy with other things. Forgive me, alright?" He said while sighed exaggeratedly.
Hearing this, Maria panicked and hurriedly said, "N-No, my Lord. You don't have to apologise. I-I'm sorry for saying that."
Max stopped caressing her back and moved back a little. Cupping her face in his hands, he smiled at her while looking into her pure eyes. "It's alright. You are my woman. You have all rights to complain, understood?"
"I… Yes." Maria nodded, a beautiful smile appearing on her face. Max couldn't help but feel attracted to her pure beauty, which was like Lilly's and lowered his face, placing his lips on her soft lips.
Maria's eyes widened and her body went stiff by this sudden, intimate gesture. A moment later, however, she calmed down, let her body rest against his, closed her eyes and started reciprocating, albeit clumsily.
Max savoured her sweet lips and had the urges to deepen the kiss and explore her juicy mouth but stopped himself and reluctantly moved his lips away, breaking the kiss.
When he saw her closed her and submissive expression, he couldn't control himself and once again captured her lips for a quick kiss.
When he stopped kissing her, Maria opened her eyes, a tinge of dissatisfaction briefly flashing through her eyes.
"W-Why did you s-stop, my Lord?" She asked, her cheeks blushing red.
Max pinched her adorable cheeks and said, "I'm sorry, but I am going to train now. So, I'll meet you later, alright?"
"Un." Maria nodded.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he whispered in her ear, "I'm meeting your big sis Rima tonight, if you want, you can join us." And flashed away, leaving a dumbfounded Maria, staring blanking in the direction he left.
"H-He… what… did he want me to…"
Meanwhile, inside her room a few rooms away, Garima narrowed her eyes, a tinge of crimson appearing on her otherwise expressionless face.
"This guy… he is too shameless." She muttered.
She then stood and walked out of the room.
After a short while, Max arrived at the city gates.
He wanted to go out and train because if the system was right, his spell testing could cause quite a bit of destruction and he wasn't sure if the training room here could endure it.
However, when he arrived there, he saw old Man Raku and Ryan, little Arya's father, standing there, with frowns on their faces as they addressed a few teams of ten Elvin armoured warriors.
"You guys be careful. Stay in teams and if you encounter any demon team which has more than five members, don't engage. Ask for reinforcement. We can't afford to lose any of you, understand?" Ryan said, his voice stern.
"Yes, Lord Commander!" Everyone shouted in unison.
"Alright" Ryan nodded and then turned to look at Max and asked. "What are you doing here?"
