Strongest Mage with the Lust system-Novel

Chapter 182 Shocking The Crowd

Everyone froze after looking towards the direction of the scream. Max's expression also changed and he couldn't help but curse "Fuck!"

There was a pack of five fiery wolves and all of them were in middle stage two-star realm while the leader seemed to be in high stage. There was a body that was torn in two pieces, lying in front of the wolf leader.

"Snarl…"

The wolves snarled as they locked onto the people in front.

There were over forty disciples gathered here and more were coming as the time passed. However, right now all forty were standing there like statues.

Max quickly reacted and shouted at Belen and others "Belen, Haory, construct the defensive wall and protect yourself. Rima, start casting your spell." As he said this, mana burst out from his body and started converging around his fist.

Because of his shout, Belen and others came out of their frozen states and started constructed the Sand-Vine wall while, Rima and Leticia started casting their spells.

Hearing Max's shout, others also recovered. However, there reactions were a lot different from Max, especially of those who were near the wolf pack.

Run!

There first instinct was to escape. Immediately, the situation became chaotic as everyone started running in panic.

Swoosh!

The wolves snarled and charged forwards. Their speed was insanely fast. In just a moment they had caught up with the people who were close to them and started attacking with their fiery red claws.

Katcha!

"Ahhh…"

In an instant, five disciples were slashed into pieces. They couldn't even resist as they were only focused on escaping.

Howl!

The wolves howled after killing them, as if expressing their superiority before they started massacring others. In just a few seconds, the terrified screams of disciples replaced the previously quiet environment.

"Where are the helpers? Ahhhh…" Some had crushed their talismans and were shouting for the help but ended up slashing into two by the wolves.

"Damn it. You fools! Stop trying to escape. You can't outrun an agility type beast. STOP AND FUCKING FIGHT IF you want to have some chance at survival." Suddenly a loud shout resounded in the area, bringing everyone to their senses.

It was Max who shouted upon seeing them running like headless chickens and getting killed left and right.

He didn't do this because he cared for them as he wasn't someone to care about others. However, he had to make them realize the situation they were in so they would fight back. If not, he, Belen and others would also be in life-threatening situation.

Bang!

"Yeah! Let's fight back. If we can hold until the help arrives, we will survive." A bulky man shouted and kicked one wolf away. His body was covered with metallic sheen giving him high defence and physical strength.

"Yeah. They are only five while we are forty. Let's fight!" A woman with sword in hand also shouted as electric sparks covered her sword blade.

Some others also took stand and urged others to fight alongside them.

Due to this, everyone gritted their teeth and went into fight mode. Some took out their magic artefacts while some used their strongest spell to defend or attack the wolves.

They had finally realised that fighting was the only way out as escaping from the beasts whose forte was their speed was just foolish at their current level.

After the disciples had started to fight back, the death rate had fallen drastically. However, although they could barely defend against the middle stage wolves after grouping up, there was no stopping to the high stage wolf leader.

Each time it moved, somebody would be slashed into two.

…

Five hundred meters away on a tall tree…

Three figures, wearing Cloud academy's white robes, were standing there watching the happenings on the gathering area. Two were females and one was male.

"Oh, there are some who can think rationally even in this type of situation. Not bad." One female elder nodded in satisfaction.

"If I'm not wrong, the kid who shouted first should be a disciple from your group right? It seems this time your luck isn't too bad." The other female elder said while looking at the male elder with a smile on her attractive face.

"Yes." The male Elder nodded expressionlessly. He was Elder Jack, the incharge of Max's group of fifty. Other two also had fifty disciples under them, who were recruited from other cities this year.

The female elder who spoke first frowned upon seeing disciples getting killed and said "Shouldn't we go and save them? The outing period will be over in a few hours anyway."

"No need. This is for their own good. It will give the survivors a lesson while simultaneously strengthening their resolve to become strong. Moreover, If they can't even deal with five beasts with more than forty people, then they would die sooner or later. It's better to die sooner and not waste academy's resources." Elder Jack plainly said.

The female elder sighed and didn't say anything.

…

"Snarl…" ????????ｎ????????????????. ᴄ????????

The middle stage wolves snarled in anger seeing that their targets had started resisting and had even started attacking them even though they couldn't land the attacks.

Swoosh!

The wolf leader appeared in front of a group of ten and lunged at a female disciple who had just defended against one middle stage wolf's attack, and swiped its claws at her neck at lightening quick speed.

"Ahh…" The female disciple was caught off guard. She screamed and closed her eyes in fright.

Clank!

Just as the sharp red claw of the wolf leader was about to cut her neck off, the bulky man from before, blocked it with his shield as sparks flew.

Crack!

The shield, that was a grade two artefact broke in pieces and the claw continued to slash at his forearm, leaving a bone deep claw mark.

"Ugh…" He gritted his teeth, supressing the pain and astonishment. He then kicked at its abdomen with his full strength.

Shua!

The wolf agilely leapt back, easily dodging his kick.

"Mm?" The female disciple opened her eyes when she wasn't struck by the wolf's claw and saw a man's broad back.

"Thank you for protecting me." She thanked him while sighing in relief.

"Grrrr…"

The wolf leader snarled as it looked at the bulky man with murderous look, ready to attack again.

The Bulky man also stared at it warily. 'If I didn't have crystal element, my hand would have been slashed in two.' He sweated cold sweat looking at the wound on his forearm.

He was very proud of his element which gave him defence tougher than steel but it was broken through this easily.

Max's eyes, who was 100 meters away dodging the attacks of a middle stage wolf, glittered upon seeing this.

His cast had been completed a few seconds ago but he didn't attack the middle stage beast and kept following the wolf leader with his eyes, waiting for a chance to strike.

In his eyes, the middle stage wolves weren't of much threat. Only the high stage wolf was dangerous.

Shua!

He moved in zigzag around the middle stage wolf whose speed was barely faster than him and moved towards the high stage wolf.

Meanwhile, the wolf leader glared at the bulky man for moment before its body turned a deeper shade of red and fire sparks seemed to ignite on its claws.

Whoosh!

Then it lunged at him and swiped its claws at his neck.

Fuck!

The bulky man's expression hardened seeing this. He knew that he won't be able to survive this strike now that it had used its special ability to increase its power.

"Everyone attack!" The girl behind him shouted all the members of the group launched their attacks at the wolf.

Suu—

The wolf leader moved to the side, dodging most of the attacks. Then it swiped it claws at the remaining attacks and they were slashed in two before vanishing.

"What!!" The girl and others shouted in disbelief seeing their attacks getting nullified so easily.

"Grrrrrr…"

The wolf became angry and looked at them with cold eyes which made them take a step back. After that it once again focused on the bulky man.

Shua!

It appeared in front of him in an instant and swiped its claw at him.

"Ahh!!" With no one to help him this time, the bulky man cried out and used all of his mana to enhance his defence. Another layer of crystal covered his body as he crossed his hands in front and closed his eyes.

Swoosh!

BANG---

Just as he thought that wolf's claw would slash him in two, whooshing sound sounded in front before a loud bang resounded.

As he opened his eyes to look, his mouth opened wide in astonishment.

…

Max had appeared beside the wolf leader just as it nullified the attacks and attacked the bulky man.

He stomped his foot and jumped five meters in the air, raising his right fist on shoulder level which was burning with crimson fire and punched at its head from above.

The crimson fire was burning more vigorously. It had completely engulfed his fist and was extending one inch further on his arm. He had put two thousand MP in this cast, instead of usual one thousand plus.

Just before his punch could land on its head, the wolf noticed his presence and tried to dodge but there wasn't enough time as Max had perfectly timed it so that it won't be able to dodge.

BANG---

The punch landed on its head which was then smashed into the ground, producing a loud bang.

Everything seemed to freeze at this moment as everyone, including the wolves stared at this scene with astonished expressions.
