Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Seeing her reaction, Max chuckled "Of course, I'm not joking." Saying this, he looked at her thin red lips intently, making her blush.

"Okay, I'll do what you say." She nodded, feeling excited in her heart. She knew many women who wanted to get close to him because he was both strong and handsome, but none even received a second glance from him. 

"Good. Now let's go inside but be careful to hide your presence as much as you can. If it's alone, we will attack if not, we will retreat. Understand?" 

"Yes." She nodded dazedly.

They carefully sneaked into the cave without making any sound. After two twists and turns, they arrived in front a spacious hall. It was around 100 meter square in size.

There was a stony platform about two feet higher than the ground. It was three meter long and wide, on it lay the injured ape.

Its chest had a deep wound however, it wasn't bleeding as much as before and seemed to be healing because the yellow flower mark was still faintly glowing.

Just like human had spells to use magic to do different things, beasts also had some special traits just like this ape had his flower mark which could heal and make its body hard as crystal. But because the ape seemed to have exhausted its mana, the flower wasn't able to make it recover instantly like before.

Apart from the ape, there wasn't any beast. Leticia became excited. She just wanted to charge inside the hall and kill it but she refrained herself from doing anything without Max's approval.

Max could see the impatience on her face. So he said "Let's go and kill it."

Saying this he walked inside the hall followed by Leticia who was already preparing her spell.

The ape noticed their presence and turned its head towards them. Its expression become bloodthirsty once again. It struggled to stand up but because it had lost a lot of blood and was drained of energy, it fell down. 

*Roar*

It roared, however this time its Roar wasn't as loud. But somehow, the yellow light intensified a bit, speeding its healing process.

Seeing that it was recovering faster, Max was about to use his biggest Fireball to kill it, but then he realised that it would also ruin this cave.

Therefore, he turned to Leticia and asked "Can you kill it without damaging the cave in the process?"

She seriously though for a moment while staring at the ape and said "Yes, if I can attack the wound on it chest. However it will defend it weakest area even though it doesn't have much energy."

Max looked at the ape that was healing more and more each second and nodded "Okay, you prepare your attack, I'll make sure it won't resist when you attack it."

Saying this he conjured up two 50 mana point fireballs and threw them at the ape's legs where it was wounded by his [Death Rain].

Boom!

Roar!

The fireball exploded, injuring it again. The ape roared in pain. It grew furious and used its arms and leapt off the stone platform to go towards them.

Max didn't let it come near them and threw two more fireballs and exploded them on its shoulders. Maybe because it was seriously injured and didn't have much mana left, his fireballs could damage it.

Thud!

It fell down on its chest after its arms got injured. Max went towards it with the intention to kick it and make it lay on its back, exposing the chest wound.

Whoosh!

However, Seeing that Max was in its range, the ape swung its meter long thick arm at him.

Bang!

Max dodged it easily and then kicked it abdomen heavily after reinforcing the kick with mana. 

Thud!

The made flew a few meter away and landed on its back. Now it couldn't move because its feet and arms, both were injured.

"Go ahead and kill it now." He looked at Leticia who already had cast her spell. Three fist sized spherical orbs hovered around her.

This was her new spell that she got from the academy named [ Wind bullets ].

When casting this spell, a large quantity of wind condenses into a small sphere. These small wind spheres has great penetrating and destructive power although not as destructive as his exploding fireball.

However, she hasn't mastered it yet. When mastered, this spell would be strong enough to penetrate, the toughest defence of any peak Two-star beast and maybe even initial stage three-star beast.

Leticia nodded and pointedbher finger towards the ape. The three orbs as if had their own mind, accurately flew at its chest and penetrated the wound and started destroying its inner organs.

*Rawrr... Roarrr... Roar...*

The ape roared in pain and blood started pouring out of its chest as well as ears, nostrils and eyes. Gradually, its pained roars stopped when it heart was also destroyed.

The flower mark on its forehead that glowing until now, stopped glowing.

"Hah! It's finally dead." Leticia sighed with a pale face.

Although her new spell was powerful, it took much concentration to cast, which would exhaust her mental energy and make her feel as if her head was about to explode.

"Mm, Let's dig out its beast core." Max said while walking towards it.

Hearing this Leticia took out a pill and ate before running toward the carcass of the ape and said "Let me do it Max. I want to use my wind elemental dagger."

She then took out a half feet long silver dagger, showing it to him.

"Okay. Go ahead then." Max nodded easily since he didn't want to get stained with blood and sat down on the stone platform after washing the blood away with a bucket of water, that he had stored in his inventory.

Leticia looked at the carcass of the ape and after taking a deep breath, she stabbed the dagger in its forehead with a quick movement of her hand. The dagger was indeed sharp. It easily pierced ape's forehead.

Max watched as she cut open ape's head without feeling disgusted by the blood and gore.

After a few seconds, she took out a round crystal orb from its head. It was half the size of an adult's fist. 

After taking it out she became excited. Cleaning it with a handkerchief she gave it to Max while giggling "Hehe, we only need nine more beast cores. Here you keep it with you."

Max took it in his hand and thought that It felt just like a crystal ball. He then stored it into his inventory.

He then looked toward the dead body of the ape and all the blood around it. He went and stored the ape's body in his inventory and used a small fireball to burn all the blood and flesh, making the place clean.

"Let's go and bring Haory and others here. We will use this cave as our shelter for one month." Max said and walked towards the exit.

Shua~

Leticia who was expecting her reward was dazed and grabbed his sleave to stop him from leaving.

She looked at him shyly and said "Y-You are forgetting something?"
