Chapter 364 Slaying Three-Star Mages
The old man was astonished at seeing his shields break so easily. Although he didn\'t use any spell to cast them, they were still formed from three-star Mana and therefore, were quite sturdy.
It should\'ve taken quite some effort for a two-star mage to destroy them, but this boy did this without breaking any sweat, and his spell still seemed to have more than half of its power remaining.
Now, seeing his fist grow bigger in front of his eyes, he could do nothing but to clench his hand muscles to bear the strike. However, he overestimated his physical defence and underestimated the destructive power of [Calidus Brachium].
Bang!
Crack!
Just as Max\'s punch crashed into his arms, his bones broke into pieces before he was hit square in the face. The fire burned his face and the force behind the punch, although didn\'t break his skull, it sent him reeling backward and made him disoriented.
Max was surprised that he couldn\'t kill the man and realized that he underestimated the prowess of a three-star mage.
However, in the next moment, another grade three offensive talisman appeared in hand, which he threw toward the now disoriented old man before jumping backwards.
Bang!
Bang!
Two bangs resounded in succession. The first bang was the thin man\'s companion hitting the ground where Max stood a moment before with his chains, while the second bang was caused by the attack unleased by the offensive talisman.
Ahh-!
As the old man was engulfed by the attack, his despairing scream briefly filled the air before being snuffed out along with his life. Hit by an attack comparable to a peak three-star mage\'s full-fledged attack, there was no doubt he would be killed.
"Nooo brother!" The other old man let out a shrill scream and his eyes went blood red.
Although the thin old man wasn\'t his blood relative, after serving Jack together for more than a decade together, they had become as close as actual brothers. So, seeing him being killed in front of his eyes was heartbreaking for him.
"Don\'t be sad, old man. I\'ll send you to accompany him in a moment." Max mocked coldly before taking out another two grade three talismans; one defensive and one offensive.
Since these bastards wanted to kill him and held nasty intentions toward his women, he felt no pity for them and was set on killing them, even if he had to use all of his talisman that he bought for the demon continent.
Hearing Max\'s words, the old man became furious. However, there was also a hint of dread in his red eyes.
Seeing him take out more talismans, the old man suppressed his anger and jumped a few meters back.
He then hurriedly recited a spell and cast a defensive barrier around him. At the same time, his long Mana chains shot toward Max. He didn\'t want to give Max any time to use any more talismans.
Max easily saw through his intentions. Sneering, he used his three-star Mana and enhanced his speed by several folds. Thanks to his heightened senses, his reflexes were very sharp. So, it wasn\'t too difficult for him to dodge his strikes.
While dodging, he crushed the offensive talisman and threw it toward him.
Rumble!
Immediately, the thunder rumbled before a two-meter-long lightning spear materialised from the talisman\'s energy, which shot toward the old man with incomparable speed.
"What? A thunder elemental talisman?" Old man cried out in horror and his instinct screamed him to flee. However, he knew he wasn\'t fast enough to outrun a thunder attack of this caliber.
He gave out a loud shout to gather his courage and used every bit of his Mana to reinforce his defensive. Still not assured, he deployed more than a dozen ordinary Mana shields in front of the barrier.
Bang! Bang! Bang!...
While the old man was adding layer upon layer of Mana shields, the lightning spear arrived and destroyed all the shields one by one before crashing into his defensive barrier.
Bang!!!
Because the barrier was cast from a three-star spell, the lighting spear paused a split moment before shattering it too and continued toward a horrified old man.
"Nooooo…!" The old man gave out a shrill scream before the spear crashed into him.
Boom!
The old man exploded like a water balloon, his flesh and blood obliterated by the overbearing lightning. After the dust subsided, there was no sign left of the old man.
Seeing this, Max shivered involuntarily before he exclaimed, "Such a powerful attack! It was definitely worth spending half a million Mana stones on this talisman."
This thunder elemental talisman was the most powerful peak grade three talisman he managed to buy in the Ninam city. Since it was the most powerful, it naturally was very expensive.
When the shopkeeper had told him that this talisman was a few times stronger and more deadly than other peak grade three elemental talisman he bought, he was was suspicious of his claim and thought that he was saying this to hike its price.
But after seeing its might, his suspicion vanished. Even though he hadn\'t used any other elemental talisman in the fight just now, he was sure that none could compare it in terms of raw destructive power.
Phew!
Exhaling in relief, Max walked toward the thin old man\'s corpse and took away his spatial bag. As for the other old man\'s spatial bag, it was destroyed along with his corpse.
After that, he ran in the direction where Belen and Leticia had ran off to.
...
Twenty miles away from the place Max was fighting...
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Leticia was moving like wind, dodging and attacking the black-winged hawk with her crescent wind blades while Belen was busy fighting Jack.
