Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 104 Elimination Round Concludes (2)

It was Vincent who caught him. After feeding him a few grade two healing pills, he let him fall down on the ground and sat down. The referee announced his victory after seeing that his opponent was incapable of continue the fight.

After seeing the man raising his hand, Vincent had guessed that the man wanted to forfeit but he couldn't take back his punch due to momentum, that's why he tried to control the strength of his punch. However even after that, when his punch struck him, at least half of the original strength still remained that caused a lot of damage to his internal organs.

So he knew that if he wasn't fed a few healing pills, the man would be dead before the formation walls opened.

Audience was surprised to see Vincent save his opponent's life. Very few people are kind enough to do such a thing now-a-days.

After a while all these fights of the group were concluded. Referee asked the medical staff to take the injured to recuperate. As Vincent walked towards his seat, he took a glance at Samuel, his eyes burning with competitive spirit. He then looked back towards Max, with same eyes. It was as if he was challenging them to fight.

Max merely smiled at this while Samuel only looked at him with narrowed eyes.

After a few more groups had done fighting, Flavia was also called. Her opponent was another female mage who hadn't awakened her element. Flavia didn't took the things to extreme or tried to show off. She took out a few metal balls, formed metal chains with them and restricted her. She then used her maximum speed to come behind her and knocked her out by a strike behind the head.

Finally it was Max's turn, when he entered his designated arena, there was a rough looking man waiting for him there. He hair were disheveled and body was burly. He didn't look scared after being matched up with Max, instead he looked happy.

Max looked at him in confusion. According to him, most people should be afraid of him because he was also one of the three unrivalled in this compition. But before he could ask why wasn't he afraid of him, the rough man spoke arrogantly, "Pretty boy, you should give up or you will die by my hands. Although you have very strong attack power and your affinity was also grade seven, that doesn't mean anything if you can't hit your opponent with your attacks. It'll take you a few more years before you can fight me."

Many who thought the same as him and were jealous of the attention he received, laughed at Max.

"He is right by the way. There is no point in fighting, train for a few more years and then come back. Hahahaha!"

"I also think the same as this brother here."

"Yeah, he is too inexperienced right now." Some old men also shook their heads.

"..."

Max frowned. Living in the comfortable life of Viscount manor, he forgot that not everyone will respect him just because he was a noble,

He'll have to show them that he was qualified and that respect.

Although his talent surprised many, but in the second test, they thought he was too inexperienced because he took a while to cast his spell and apart from having high destructive power, its speed was so slow that even a novice mage could dodge that easily.

Max eased his brows and smiled nonchalantly "Let's see how are you going to kill me."

Those who thought this he would give up knowing his limitations were stunned. The only thought 'Is this guy seriously going to fight? Doesn't he want to live anymore?'

The rough man became enraged at his calm attitude and yelled "Then let me show you that talent alone isn't enough here."

He was an earth elemental mage. He chanted a spell and his body was covered by thick layers of earth, making him look like a giant.

Thud! thud! thud!

He ran toward Max, the ground was shaking with every step he took. However, due to his immense weight, his speed was also slow. 

Max shook his head and commented "How foolish! Giving up on your agility for strength when you aren't even a long ranged mage. Tsk, tsk, and you were blabbering about how my attacks were slow and can't hit my targets"

The man became even more enraged at his ridicule and threw a punch at him "Die brat."

"You aren't qualified to kill me yet." Saying this Max twisted his body backwards and with a turn, he raised his left leg and after strengthening it with mana, he kicked his abdomen. Due to being in close proximity and his low agility, the man couldn't react in time and was kicked ruthlessly.

Crack!

The upper layer of earth around his abdomen cracked and his face twisted slightly. He used his elbow to strike at his leg but Max was too agile, his had already took his leg from the man's abdomen. His elbow struck only air. _​

Earthen giant looked up and found that Max was already more than two meters away from him.

Max smirked "So do you still have something to say now?" Before the man could say anything Max retreated a few meters back and raised his hand, a small fireball slowly appeared "If you still do, after tasting this attack of mine, you'll no longer have."

The earthen man sneered. He knew that it'll take some more time until his fireball was fully cooked. He hastily took a step forward to attack him before it was completed.

However, in the next moment, his eyes bulged and he stared at the half a meter large fireball above his palm. Its size was the same as the one he used it to test in second test.

"Did you you say that my attacks are too slow? Tell me if it's still slow." Max waved his hand in earthen giant's direction and the fireball shot toward him at a fast speed. Max had used more of his mana to make it fly faster.

It appeared in front of the man before he could react. He wanted to curse Max for hinding the fact that he could control the speed his Fireball traveled.

He knew that this he couldn't evade this attack now and had to try and live through it. He quickly stimulated his mana and added more layers of earth over his body. He looked like a round ball of earth.

Boom!

The fireball exploded upon collision. Rubble of earth flew around. A mushroom of fire was in the place where earthen giant previously stood. Max, in his irritation, had used 300 mana points in this fireball. So the Destruction was guaranteed.

...

However seeing this, Max's face went pale, not because of using a large part of his mana but because of killing another human being.

He felt a nauseating feeling rising from his gut. His felt dizzy and staggered on his feet. He took deep breaths as he placed his hands on the knees for support.

He raised his head to look at the mushroom of fire instead of the earthen giant and mumbled "Did I really kill a human being?"

....

Slowly fire stopped burning and by now, Max has also calmed down quite a bit. He knew that sooner or later he will have to do this because he had Count As his target. So it was better to start now and everyone who came down on the arena to fight knew that they might be killed. So he shouldn't feel guilty about it.

As smoke cleared, a barely recognisable black figure appeared before everyone's eyes. His chest was blown apart, and his right arm was missing from shoulder. Max guessed that it was due to the explosion.

He slowly walked toward him, his body was like burnt charcoal and smell of burnt flesh was wafted in his nostrils. He covered his nose and just as he wanted to stand up, the man coughed softly.

Max looked toward him. His mouth moved as if he wanted to say something. Max leaned down and to listen what he was saying. The man spoke in barely recognisable voice. "Cough! I... was wr-wrong... To look d-down on you... In my next... Next life... I W-Won't under... Underestimate anyone... I want you... know my name... My name is... is Leo... Leo Riggalton..."

He then stopped speaking and his barely noticeable breathing stopped. Max sighed and stood up. He felt the strength leaving his legs. However, he knew that this was only his imagination due to the feeling of guilt.

Audience started murmuring among themselves.

"Maybe he isn't as unskilled as we thought."

"Sigh, his fireball is too destructive." A middle aged man sighed.

"Yes, to be able to reduce a two-star mage with earth element to this state even after he had used his defensive spell. I wonder what grade is his spell." Someone else chimed in.

"..."

"It seems this was his first time killing someone." In the envoys' area, the old woman from Green pagoda commented after noticing Max acting strangely after killing him.

"Mhm. It's okay. He will slowly get used to it." Second envoy nodded.

Fourth envoy smiled "It seems you are interested in this kid."

Cilera focused her attention on second envoy. If she was really interested in this boy, she will have to make him join her academy. 'I wonder what will be your reaction then. Haha!' She laughed in her heart.
