“Have you gone mad? I told you guys to stay put and only fight when someone is attacking you. Why would you join the fight?” Max angrily said while looking at Belen and Leticia who were leading them.
Leticia and Belen’s face fell seeing him chide them but they didn’t say anything and hung their heads down like little kids who had done something wrong.
Haory saw this and said in an irritated tone “They came because they saw you in a disadvantageous situation even though they knew that they might not be of much help and might die instead. Learn to be grateful a little.
Hearing this Max frowned as he stared at her. After a moment he took a deep breath looked towards Belen and Letica who were on the verge of crying and sighed.
He understood how they must be feeling right now. It really feel like shit when you do something selflessly for the sake of a person and he doesn’t appreciate and instead behave like he just did.
Taking a step forward, he embraced both of them and said softly “I’m sorry for reacting like that.”
Rima and Haory looked at him with slight surprise. Haory nodded to herself ‘At least he knows how to be compassionate.’
Hearing him apologising even when he was angry for their sake, they wanted to say that they were sorry but before they could, Max let them go and his expression became stern once more.
He took a deep breath and asked while looking at Belen and Haory “Can you defend for 50 seconds?”
“We can only try.” Haory nodded and circulated her mana. The sand particles supporting the second wall became tougher and the wall was now sturdier than before.
Belen also regained her composure and used her mana to repair the damaged parts of the walls. After which the colour of the vines forming the walls became darker and thicker. However, her face became slightly pale as she had used more than half of her slightly more than four thousand plus mana units.
Meanwhile, Leticia and Rima moved to intercept the electric woman who had come near the vine wall.
Echo!
Just as the electric woman was 50 meters away from the wall, a sound wave hit head on which almost caused her eardrums to rupture and she staggered.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Just then seven to eight wind blades shot towards her.
“Shit…!” The electric woman gritted her teeth and hastily tried to dodge the wind blades but she still received a deep gash on her waist and her white robes started to turn red due to the blood.
She quickly took out a healing pill and ate it before dodging another wave of wind blades shot by Leticia.
She then brandished her sword and covered it with electrical sparks and started attacking Leticia and Rima. Rima tried using her sonic spell a few more times but it was dodged every time.
Because Leticia’s speed was higher than the electric woman, she could easily evade her attacks while trying to hit her with wind blades. However, the electric woman has beastly reflexes and was very proficient in fighting unlike them.
She would dodge or destroy her attacks with her sword while simultaneously inflicting injuries on Rima who was didn’t have any means to save herself since her sonic spell weren’t of any use.
Leticia had the ability to dodge her attacks thanks to her speed but she had to save Rima time and time again or she would have died in the first ten seconds, and because of this, she got struck by the electric woman’s sword which not only injure her but also gave the numbing effect which caused a steep drop in her speed and immediately put them in perilous situation.
…
Bang! Bang! Bang!
For the third time, Bartan cast his water bullets spell. Five water bullets double the size of a baseball shot out and crashed heavily into the wall. Sand and wood splinters flew around as the water bullets blew up five half meter wide holes.
“Mm? It didn’t crumble?” Bartan was a bit surprised and then sneered seeing Haory and Belen standing behind the walls using their mana to repair and strengthen it.
“How long can you keep it-” Bartan scoffed and got ready to cast his water bullets once more as if it doesn’t consume much of his mana.
However, he suddenly froze and his expression became grim because from the holes he created in the wall, he saw Max casting his spell and he seemed to be half done as the flame sparks were starting to burn on his fist.
Swoosh!
Seeing the electric woman entangle with Leticia and Rima, Bartan cursed and ran towards Max to stop him from casting the spell.
Although he had his water barrier spell which was his strongest spell and was capable of blocking a full-fledged attack from most of the peak two-star mages without breaking, he was sure that if Max attacked him with this spell, his barrier would shatter like glass and he would be severely injured. Maybe after that, he won’t even be able to use the escaping talisman.
Seeing him stop casting his most powerful spell and came running towards them, Belen and Haory immediately understood what he wanted to do.
They both took mana recovering pills and stop supplying mana to the wall which instantly crumbled.
“Hah…!”
Giving a hoarse shout to gather every last bit of the remaining mana inside their mana cores, Both of them put their hands on the ground and poured all of it into it.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Three half foot thick, pointy vines shot out from the ground at fast speed and pierced towards Bartan who was a hundred meters away from them.
A large quantity of sand also gathered and formed a giant hand in front of Haory which then slowly floated a few meters above the ground. Then suddenly, it turned into countless one-meter-long sand spikes that rained down on him like hailstorm.
Seeing this, Bartan became very angry because to defend against these attacks, he had to cast his water barrier which would consume more of his mana and delay him in stopping Max from completing his cast.
But he gritted his teeth and cast the water barrier around him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sand spikes and vines crashed into the barrier and crumbled into dust or were rebounded off the barrier.
He then shouted while waving his hand to conjure up a few water snakes that shot towards both ladies “Get out of the way bitches!”
However, suddenly a low voice sounded by his ears like a devil’s whisper and it made his blood run cold.
“You dare disrespect my woman?”
