Hearing the cold voice, Bilaz felt chills running down his spine.
Although, he hadn’t seen who it was yet, the instinctual fear of being targeted by a stronger predator made him frightened.
He quickly turned around while putting his guard up. He saw a young man carrying a girl on his back. His expression was cold and murderous.
Haory and Belén also looked in that direction and saw Max coming towards them slowly. Belén’s despondent expression was instantly replacement by a relieved and happy one.
Haory also sighed in relief and the fear which she had of her possible death vanished and she felt happy which gave birth to some complicated emotions in her heart.
She never thought that she would ever feel this way seeing a man.
Bilaz saw his face clearly and instantly recognised him and exclaimed “Oh! So you aren’t dead yet.”
He then became angry for being frightened by him and swung the Whip around him “It’s good that you are alive, now I’ll take your life.”
Although Bartan had told him that that Max was fairly strong, he still didn’t put him in his eyes. After all he was a middle stage two-star mage while Max was just an initial stage two-star mage or so he thought.
Max didn’t say anything and took a step to the side easily dodging the Whip.
Bilaz didn’t stop and once and swung it at him. This time he infused his mana in it making its speed faster.
Slap!
The Whip struck making a crisp sound. However, it didn’t strike at Max but ground while Max had already walked up to Belén and Haory.
“Huh?” Bilaz was surprised since he didn’t expect him to dodge even when he used his mana to strike.
Max didn’t bother looking at him and glanced at unconscious Rima, Haory and Belén who were quite injured and his eyes turned cold.
He said to Leticia “Get down and use your everything to protect them while I take care of this bastard.”
Leticia nodded and got off of his back. She, Haory and Belén looked at him in slight surprise because Although he spoke in low voice, they could tell that he was furious right now and this was their first time they saw him angry.
Bilaz who was only twenty or so meters away from them, clearly heard him and was instantly furious. He didn’t like when someone else was acting arrogant in front of him, let alone curse at him.
He threw the Whip down and brandished his fists and ran to punch him.
Max turned around and threw a punch of his own. This punch was strengthened by his mana.
“Don’t…”Belén tried stopping him as she knew that although Max was considerably strong physically, Bilaz was stronger.
However, it was too late as they both had already punched and couldn’t retreat anymore.
Bilaz’s lips curled into a sneer seeing that he dared to compete in physical strength with him ‘How foolish!’
Bang!
Their fists collided heavily and Max was pushed a few meters back. Bilaz stood still in his place while looking at him in astonishment.
Max felt his hand turning numb. He could feel that if Bilaz’s punch was a bit stronger, his bones would have been fractured.
Belén quickly explained “He is a strength type mage and his defences are comparable to a magic beast. Don’t fight him in close range.”
Max nodded and quickly conjured two 200 MP fireballs and threw them at Bilaz. Bilaz was preparing to ran upto him and punch again but had to dodge and retreat.
Boom! Boom!
After being dodged, Both fireballs crashed on the tree behind and blasted it apart and burnt it.
“Tch, another elemental mage.” Bilaz clicked his tongue in displeasure. He wasn’t afraid of physical damage but elemental damage was another story.
He quickly dashed towards him intending to fight in close proximity.
Max quickly glanced at Leticia who nodded in understanding and took Rima and others and retreated some distance away in case Bilaz attack them again.
Bilaz saw this and didn’t care. He first had to kill Max before worrying about them.
Max was relieved seeing this and a cold smile appeared on his face as he retreated in other direction at a speed Bilaz could catch up. At the same time, he started casting [Calidus Brachium].
Seeing that Max’s speed was a bit slower than him, he chased faster and quickly caught up and Punched at his head.
Swish!
Max dodged it easily and continued retreating.
Swish! Swish!
Bilaz kept attacking but Max dodged them everytime while mana continued to swirl around his fist.
“Huff… Huff…”
After a while, Bilaz’s expression became twisted. He stopped attacking while gasping for breath. In this short while, He had consumed two-three times more stamina than what he consumed while fight Haory and others.
“What? Done attacking?” Max asked sarcastically.
Bilaz grounded his teeth in anger and turned in the direction where Leticia and others were and sneered “I’ll kill those bitches first and then see if you can still continue to run around like monkeys without fighting.”
Saying this, he ran towards them. Max’s expression turned cold and he focused on casting his spell.
They were around 500 meters away from Haory and others. When Bilaz was only 200 meters away from them, Max completed his spell.
Sizzle~
His fist was covered in crimson flames and the air around it seemed to be burning.
…
Seeing that, Max wasn’t chasing him, Bilaz laughed hysterically “Haha, I see you are also a ruthless man who don’t care for others.”
When Haory and others saw Bilaz coming at them while Max was standing still, they became slightly nervous. However, they stared at him coldly.
Belén and Leticia even had a ridiculing smile on their faces. They knew that Max wouldn’t let anything happen to them since they were his woman.
When Bilaz was twenty meters away from them, he raised his fist and aimed at Leticia who was standing in front of others.
Swoosh!
However before he could cross the remaining distance, Max appeared in front of him and ferociously punched at him.
