The crystal man nodded and without delay, started attacking the wolf leader with his crystal fists.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each time his fist struck, a loud bang would resound along with some faint cracking sounds. His strength could be imagined from this.
The wolf leader also resisted and attacked with its claws but because of the injury on his head, which had affected its mind, its claws didn’t have enough power to penetrate the bulky man’s defenses.
Max nodded his head seeing this and went back to Belen and others in case they needed help.
However, after reaching them, he realized that his worries were useless. Belen and other were standing beside the Sand-Vine wall looking at him with smiles on their faces.
Just as he wanted to ask if none of the beasts attacked them, he saw a wolf’s corpse, that was cut in two symmetrical pieces, lying in front of them.
Swoosh!
“Max, Can you teach me the [Destruction Wheel] spell please?” Leticia appeared in front of him. She grabbed his hand in her soft hands and requested as she looked at him with puppy eyes.
“Mm?” Max raised his brows at this. He didn’t understand why she would want to learn it so suddenly. It should be known that he had offered them if they wanted to learn it after teaching it to Rima, but they had rejected saying that they were busy improving their respective elemental spells.
Belen let out a small chuckle and said “It’s because she had realized that this spell is stronger than her [Wind bullets]…”
After Belen told him what happened here, he understood why she wanted to learn it.
When the middle stage wolf had attacked them, they were feeling helpless as they weren’t able to land any attack on it.
After a while, Belen managed to restrict its movements. Just when they thought they could kill it, Rima had completed casting her [Destruction Wheel] and cut its body in two, immediately killing it.
If it was only that, Leticia wouldn’t have been motivated to learn it, but Rima told her that it could become stronger as her mastery over it and her reserves improved.
This made Leticia want to learn it as her wind bullets could only contain maximum five thousand mana units even when she gained complete mastery over it.
“If you want, you can learn it from Rima. However, you should know that no matter which spell is it, it takes a lot of time to gain mastery over it and I think your [Wind bullets] has a lot of room to grow, right?” Max said.
Hearing this, Leticia fell into deep thought. It was true that every spell required a lot of time and practice. Even Rima, who spend almost all of her time to practice, took more than half month to be able to properly use one thousand mana units to cast the [Destruction Wheel].
‘It’s true that my [Wind bullets] still has a lot of potential left to explore. I should focus on improving it since it will enhance my familiarity with my element and make it easier to learn other wind elemental spells in future. Moreover, it isn’t any weaker in terms of destructive power. After I reach three-star realm, I’ll be able to choose more powerful spells.’ Leticia thought.
Those who have awakened their element, tend to choose the spells related to their element since they will be more powerful than non-elemental spells and deepen their understanding of their element.
If anyone first learns a non-elemental spell then try to learn an elemental one, it would take double the time to learn it and their understanding of their element would be lacking which would hinder their progress.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but feel that she was too naïve and wasn’t thinking of long term. At the same time, she felt pity for Rima who didn’t have choice but to learn it.
“Okay, I’ll focus on my own spell then.” She nodded seriously. However, her serious face looked very cute that made them laugh and causing her to pout her lips in frustration.
…
After a while, remaining two middle stage wolves were also killed and the bulky man had also killed the high stage beast and brought it over to Max.
Thud!
“Hah! I’ve killed it friend and I didn’t touch its beast core.” The bulky man said.
“Okay, thanks for the help.” Max nodded.
When the bulky man heard this, he felt embarrassed and then gratefully said “I should be the one to thank you friend. If not for you, I would have died back there. So, thank you for saving my life. If you ever need my help to do anything, you just need to say okay.”
“Mhm, okay.” Max nodded and accepted his gratitude.
The bulky man turned to walk away but then suddenly turned and laughed awkwardly “May I ask friend’s name?”
“Oh, I’m Max. What’s your name?” Max said and then asked for his name for courtesy’s sake.
“I’m called Tylor brother Max.” The bulky man replied with a smile.
Others in his group had come by now and they also thanked Max for saving their life.
…
“Hah… ”
After greeting everyone, he sat down in exhaustion and noticed that Belen, Rima and Leticia looked very happy.
“What is it?” He asked curiously.
They looked at each other and smiled before simultaneously shaking their head. Seeing that they didn’t want to tell him, he didn’t ask again.
Leticia then proceeded to dug out the wolves’ beast cores and Max stored the wolf leader’s body in his inventory. Since, the food was very expensive in the academy, he was going to eat its mana rich meat with Anna.
‘I wonder, if she has broken through to the two-star realm or not?’ He wondered when remembering his angel like half-sister.
“So many people died.” Leticia mumbled seeing many corpses of disciples. From the initial forty or something disciples, a dozen had died in wolves’ assault.
“What happened here?” As more disciples came to the gathering point, they were dumbfounded by the scene.
After talking to the disciples, they heard what happened and this caused them to panic.
“We thought that we will be safe after arriving at the gathering point, but this…”
…
After that, the gathering point was attacked by some other beasts but fortunately there wasn’t any agility type beast. Therefore, the casualties weren’t as much as before.
“Oh!” As Max was talking with Belen and others, he suddenly saw a familiar figure.
