Chapter 145 Waterfall
[ Mana: 4200 ]
[ Lust Points: 32000]
'So today I only got 12000 huh. Well, it's still better.' He thought.
Although Belén had something special about her which gave him more LPs compared to others, after having sex for a week with her, the LPs he received slowly started to lessen until they were the same as what he received from Leticia.
'I think these aren't enough for that grade three spell.' Max thought. Initially he wanted to unlock a grade two fire elemental spell that could be unlocked in 32000 LPs.
However, when he was about to unlock that spell, the system suggested that since he was already a two-star mage, a grade two spell wouldn't provide him with much power boost and its power would only be a little higher than his [Death Rain] spell.
'According to the system, with my current strength, although I won't be able to use a grade three spell to its maximum potential, it'll be still powerful than a grade two spell. Let's unlock one now.' He thought and open the shop.
Clicking on [Magic Spells] he quickly found grade three fire elemental spells.
There were a total of three grade three spells:
1) Calidus Brachium
?Discription: Surrounds user's fist with fire elemental mana to give user's punches extraordinary destructive power. Any enemy below four-star realm will be left half dead if spell is cast at its maximum limit.
?Mana consumption: 1500-35000 mana points.
*Unlock: 40000 Lust points
2) Defensive Flame
?Discription: The user will be surrounded by a fire barrier from from all directions. The fire barrier is able to defend against both physical and magic attacks. If the power of attacks exceeds the defensive capacity of the barrier, it will at most reduce the attack's power by two third(Only true if attack doesn't exceeds the initial stage four-star realm). It doesn't take much time to be cast making it useful in defending against any surprise or sudden attacks.
?Mana consumption: 1000-30000i mana points.
*Unlock: 50000 Lust points
3) Flame vortex
?Discription: Creates a fire vortex in front of the user that has high destructive power. Any beast or mage cought in vortex will be killed, however this spell takes a lot of time to cast.
Mana consumption: 6000-40000 mana points.
*Unlock: 70000 Lust points
'These spells are amazing!' Max exclaimed in his mind after reading their discription.
'But damn! Their unlocking costs are too high. Even if I want to unlock the least expensive among them, I still need forty thousand LPs and I've only 32000 LPs now.' He cursed.
'I'll have earn more LPs quickly to unlock the spell and raise my mana count. I can't be too passive now that we have stay in open like this. I don't know when some beast might attack us.' Thinking this he glanced towards Belén who was meditating to digest the nascent energy.
'When she is done cultivating, it'll be Leticia's turn to guard. I don't know if Belén would be willing to have s.e.x. with me knowing that Leticia is awake.'
He thought and then glanced toward Leticia 'Why didn't she come to me after that day? Was she after a serious relationship? Tch, it's so frustrating. I need them for LPs but I can't be in serious relationship with everyone I have s.e.x. with right?'
...
–––In the morning–––
As they were having breakfast, a One-star flying beast stumbled upon them. Leticia killed it easily with her wind bullets.
After that, they decided to cultivate for a few more days since Haory hadn't fully recovered from her injuries.
When everyone was about to start cultivating Max stood up and said "You guys can rest and cultivate, I'm going to scout the area to see if there are any Two-star beasts nearby."
Then he smiled at Haory, Leticia and Rima "Is any of you ladies interested in accompanying me?"
Hoary smiled and nodded. Just as she was about to get up, Leticia stood up and giggled "Hehe, Belén I'll go with him. I also want a little adventure."
Belén raised her brows at her before nodding while thinking 'So she finally made her mind, huh.'
Rima looked at Leticia and raised both of her thumbs in encouragement. 'I'll let you go this time.' She said inwardly.
...
Meanwhile a few ten miles away from them, Bartan and his group started searching for Max.
"Hey Bartan. In which direction should we go?" The short haired man asked.
Bartan thought for a while and said "This is the appropriate location that guy told us. To find them quickly, we should separate and ho in different directions while one of us will stay here."
He then continued "I'll go in North direction. As for who will stay here and in which direction you will go, decide yourself. However, remember to return before nightfall whether you find them or not."
"Hey going alone is too dangerous. If we encountered a Two-star beast, we will die." One member of the group said. Others also nodded.
Bartan waved his hand and four talismans flew out, "Take these escaping talismans. If you encounter a beast and it notices you, use them. For two minutes, they will boost your speed on the same level as a three-star mage."
He then ran in North direction. Since the mountain will get higher if one continued going Northwards, they will encounter more Two-star beasts.
But he still chose this direction because he expected Max who was fairly strong to go there to hunt more beasts. If he was still alive, he needed to kill him and if he was dead, he needed to confirm it.
"Tch, This dog of Dalton family is being too serious. He should have followed my plan to ambush him at the gathering point at the end of the month. That would have spared us some effort while simultaneously gaining their beast cores." The short haired man said annoyed.
"Since you accepted the benefits he offered, you should do what he wants you to and stop complaining." The only woman in the group said in a disdainful tone.
"You damned woman. I've told you not to talk to me in this tone. Do you really think I won't kill you?" The short haired man shouted fiercely.
"Oh you are welcome to try, pighead." The woman smirked.
Boom!
Both of them unleashed their killing aura and their mana swirled fiercely around them.
From their aura alone, one could tell that they were on par with Haory in strength.
The short haired man's fist turned hard as a rock and he punched at her with all his might.
The woman unsheathed her sword as electric sparks flickered on it. She slashed her sword at him at lightening fast speed.
Bang!
Fist and sword collided and both were forced back.
The man raised his fist to look at it and his expression changed slightly because his Rocky skin has a faint cut mark. The woman smirked seeing this
He became even more angry and in his anger, he once again raised his fist. This time his skin became thick and his hand seemed to turn stone as he shouted "Let's see if you can take this punch and still smile, you filthy whore."
"You really want to die!!" The woman's was angered when she was called whore and her black eye and and sword sparkled with intense electricity as her aura skyrocketed, making short haired man flinch.
"Hey you two. Cut it out. You can kill each other after this mission is completed and we get our promised reward." One of the remaining two commented indifferently.
Both turned to look at him. Short haired man hesitated while the electric girl gave him a cold look before putting her sword back into the sheathe.
The short haired man's skin became normal. He looked at her and sneered "I'll take care of you after this."
"Tch, dumbass." The woman clicked her tongue and went in East direction.
The short haired man also stomped his foot and shot out in west direction where Max and others were.
....
Max and Leticia walked ran on tree branches without making any sound.
"Mm?" Max raised his brows suddenly.
Leticia who was following him closely became worried and asked "What is it Max? Is there any beast?"
"No, I think I heard water falling sound. Let's go check it out." He turned in the direction from where he heard the sound.
Leticia became excited upon hearing this and quickly followed.
After so many days, the water they brought with them was mostly used, with only a little drinking water remaining. To save water, she hadn't taken a nice bath for two days now and as a woman, she was unbearable for her. If they could find more water, that problem would be solved.
As they ran for a few miles, the sound of water falling became louder and Leticia could also hear it now.
Very quickly a more than 500 meter high came into their view.
"There's a waterfall there." Leticia became ecstatic and raised her speed.
Max smiled and followed. However suddenly his expression changed.
