Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 62 Gratitude

Boooom~

The fireball exploded upon contact with the leading golem on its chest. It immediately turned into red dust, and the other three golems managed to avoid the explosion thanks to the other one taking the direct hit, but they were still affected by the shockwave which threw them back.

"So you are going all out this time. But don't think you can defeat me by doing so." Mina smirked and activated her summoning spell again.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Followed by the whooshing sounds, three more golems appeared. Now there were seven golems in front of Max.

"I know your mana pool is bigger than mine but don't worry today; you are going to lose no matter what. Defend Yourself well because I don't want to injure you...!" Max warned her.

"Don't worry. You go ahead and do your best." Mina said as she knew that it was almost impossible for her to get injured by his attack, and because she wanted to witness his most powerful attack, she didn't control any of the golems to interrupt him, but it didn't mean that she wasn't on guard.

Max raised his hand and concentrated. In a few seconds, a one-meter fireball materialised. He used 300 mana points in it, which was his limit for now. Sweat was dripping down his forehead due to losing a large chunk of his mana and stamina and also because of the heat it radiated.

"Mm?" Mina raised her eyebrows at this. This was the first time she lost her composure fighting Max, and it was because she could feel it could threaten her life if she failed to defend herself well.

"Disintegrate!" She shouted. All the seven golems disintegrated. She then placed her hand on the ground and shouted, "Earth Walls."

One after another, three one meter thick walls appeared in front of her.

Max successfully conjured up the fireball and hurled it toward Mina.

Huff! Huff!

[ Stamina: 17/30 ]

[ Mana: 600/1331 ]

He panted because, unlike before, this attack consumed more than one-third of his stamina and mana was also reduced to 600.

"Stamina is one thing, but why did mana deplete by almost double when I only used 300 points?" Max wondered aloud. But he quickly got his answer when he heard the explosion 20 meters away from him.

Boom~

Boooom~

Boooooom~

When his giant fireball collided with the Earth walls, they crumbled one by one in front of a Dumbfounded Mina, who was stunned after witnessing the destructive power of his most potent attack.

'How can his fireball be this strong? It's almost comparable to a peak two-star mage's strongest attack. Has he already reached the peak of two-star?' Thinking this, she shook her head in the next second. 'It can't be. His mana reserves are only comparable to an initial stage two-star mage.' _​

"MINA! What are you thinking? Dodge it quickly." Max shouted at the top of his lungs when he saw her staring at the fireball coming toward her with a blank face.

He didn't want to injure her because Max also treated her as his friend, and this attack won't stop at only injuring her and might claim her life if she didn't do anything. Although it lost one-third of its energy after destroying three walls, it was still deadly because it hasn't exploded yet. When it exploded, One could only imagine what would happen to her frail body without any defences.

Mina came out of her daze after hearing his shout and shouted back, "It seems you've also underestimated me, Max."

He chanted a spell in an instant and opened her, and raised her palm upward in a grabbing motion. Max was baffled by what he saw next.

A giant earth hand appeared from the ground and grabbed at the fireball, and then clenched.

BANG!

With an explosion, both the fireball and the giant hand got destroyed without leaving any trace of the explosion.

Haaa!

Max sighed in relief after seeing this, but at the next instant, he felt a cold shiver running down his spine. By the time he reacted, He was tightly grabbed the golem, with no chance to escape.

"Hehe" A light giggle sounded as Mina walked toward him, her face slightly pale.

"So, what do you say now?" She asked in a teasing voice.

Max stared at her, acting like a kid over her victory, amused. He shook his head and said, "I accept my defeat." Then asked, "Tell me, what do you wish for me to do?"

Seeing him look at her weirdly, she returned to her usual self, where she won't speak or show any emotion unless necessary and said, "Not now. But I'll surely ask you to do one thing in the future; You better not refuse me then."

Max looked into her eyes for a second to see if he could guess what she wanted, but he couldn't. He said with a smile, "Rest assured. It won't happen."

"Mm, it's settled then." She nodded and turned around. "I wish you good luck with your upcoming test academy. Work hard, you've excellent talent, and you can easily achieve success if you don't give up. And most important of all, don't become arrogant after achieving something." As her sentence finished, she had already gone out of the room.

Max felt good hearing the hidden concern in her voice. He quickly ran after her and grabbed her hand. She stopped in her tracks and turned to face him, thinking that he also wanted to say something, but her eyes widened when he hugged her.

"Thank you, Mina. Thanks to you, I was able to improve so much in such a short time." He then let go of her and smiled. "Have a safe journey to Neim city! We will meet again soon."

Mina nodded blankly and walked out of the training hall, disappearing from his sight. As she walked out, a tear silently slid down her cheek while a sweet smile adorned her face. If Max saw this scene now, he would definitely praise her.

Mina didn't expect him to show such affection to her, but she was happy, and her heart felt warm. Since she married Ashton, no one really cared for her. Ashton only loved Hannah, Max's mother and didn't pay any attention to them, and it only got worse after she died because he went into depression. Let alone her Ashton, even her son, William, doesn't love her because he always blamed her for being only a concubine and not receiving any love from his father.

Therefore, it has been a long time since someone showed affection to her, which naturally made her happy.

Unaware of her thoughts, Max returned to his room, where a sleeping beauty greeted him.
