Strongest Mage with the Lust system
chapter-125

Max's group was dropped in the middle of the forest. Because of the mountain's size, the land seemed almost flat.

However, they were surrounded by the forest and could be attack by beasts from all sides, Belén suggested that they should find some place that could provide them protection from two or three sides to stay.

Everyone find that suggestion good so they started searching for such place.

As they were searching around, before they could find a safe place to stay, they encountered a white furred ape, a two-star beast.

It was two meters in height with a strong looking bulky body. Its arms alone were two feet thick and were more than one meter long.

It had four canine teeth protruding out from its mouth, two from upper jaw and two from lower jaw. On its forehead, the furr colour was yellowish, in the shape of a flower. Its eyes were yellow in colour.

Just as the ape saw them, it roared towards them and picked up a nearby rock that was triple the size of a football with one arm and threw it at them at a very fast speed.

*Whoosh*

*Bang*

Leticia and others panicked seeing this because they won't be able to dodge it in time. Max looked at Haory who nodded and a one meter long sand spike shot out from the ground and shattered the rock in mid-air.

*Roar*

Thud! Thud!

Seeing its attack fail, the ape roared furiously and ran towards them with heavy steps.

"Everyone get ready to fight." Max shouted. Mana swirled around him and wrapped around his arm. After shouting he dashed toward the ape at his fastest speed.

*Shua*

In an instant, he appeared in front of the ape and punched with all his strength aiming at its the lower abdomen, taking it off guard.

*Clank*

As his mana empowered fist collided with the ape's abdomen, a metallic sound reverberated in the area.

The ape's advance was stopped by the force of the punch however, almost no harm was done to the beast which was surprising as his physical strength that was enhanced by his mana was more than 70 units.

Max felt pain on his knuckles and exclaimed "Such tough skin." The muscles of the the ape were almost as tough as steel. If he hadn't had full control over his body and strength, his arm would have snapped from the collision.

Although his punch wasn't able to injure it, it successfully enraged the beast. It roared and slammed down its fist, aiming at his head.

*Bang*

Max dodged the punch that slammed into the ground heavily, making a small crater on the mountain's surface and causing the earth around them to shake.

Seeing this, Max and others felt cold chills running down their spine. This ape was too overpowered. If that punch had connected, he would have been deader than dead.

'Fighting it in the close combat isn't plausible even with my strength.' Max thought and then shouted "Leticia come and keep it busy with me. Rima prepare to use your sonic breath on it" Max shouted before dodging another punch.

Leticia, who had been panicking until now calmed down seeing Max keeping the ape from attacking others and giving them time to prepare their spells.

After hearing his command, She dashed toward the ape while using her wind elemental mana that enhanced her speed to the same level as Max's and after arriving five meters away from the it, she attacked it with her wind slashes trying to attract its aggro to her.

As it was shifting it's attention to Leticia because her wind blade pricked its skin, Rima completed casting her spell and shouted "Move away."

Max and Leticia quickly jumped a few meters away from the ape and covered their ears with their hands because they know what will happen if they didn't.

*Echo*

A shrill sound was produced from Rima mouth. The soundwaves hit the yellow flowered ape and It froze in its place because the its brain nerves were affected by her sonic spell.

Max and others also felt their ears ringing even though she had focused her attack on the ape.

After stunning the ape, Rima shouted with a pale face "Belén, do it."

Belén had already prepared her spell and as she poured her mana out, a dozen thick vines appeared from the ground and coiled around ape's arms, legs and neck tightly while it wasn't moving.

After a few seconds the ape recovered from the sonic attack and found itself imprisoned by the vines that were tough as steel and flexible as rubber, making them very tough to destroy.

*Roar*

The ape struggled to break the vines, its veins bulged out on its arms and it grabbed the vines around its neck and streched them to thier limits in a bid to destroy them.

Max looked at Haory and she understood what he wanted. She chanted her spell and sand around them started to gather in the air above her.

*Snap* *Snap*

While she was casting her [ Black sand spear ] spell, the vines around its neck snapped.

Then it proceeded to destroy the vines that bound its arms and feet. While it was snapping the vines one by one, Max had started casting his new spell that he got from the library.

[ Death rain ]

A few dozen half a meter long fiery arrows materialised above the ape, pointing down looking deadly.

*Roarrr*

Just as the last vine around the ape's foot snapped, it roared toward the sky beating its chest producing loud thumping sounds. However it's eyes widened seeing many fire arrows hanging in the air above him, releasing intense heat.

A glint of fear appeared in its eyes. Although it was impervious to physical damage thanks to its steel hide, however that doesn't mean that it was also impervious to elemental damage. In fact it feared elemental attacks the most.

Just as it wanted to move from its current position, Max brought his hand down completing his spell.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Pierce! Pierce!

Tens of fire arrow whooshed down at frighteningly fast speed and crashed into the ape and area around him. The place where ape was standing erupted in flames.

*ROAR!*

A mighty Roar filled with pain and anger sounded from inside the fire and extinguished the fire.

The Ape appeared in front of everyone's eyes. It had its thick hand above its head, protecting it however, its white furr all over its body was charred black and its shoulders, forearms, chest, abdomen and thighs had many burnt holes where fire arrows must have struck. From those wounds, blood was gushing out non-stop, giving its body a shade of dark red colour.

*Roar!*

The Ape roared once more and the flower shaped mark on its forehead started shining with pale yellow light and slowly covered its whole body.

After a few seconds when the light disappeared, the wounds had stopped bleeding and were almost healed and its furr also recovered.

"What!?" Leticia and Rima exclaimed in disbelief. If it could recover like that, wouldn't it be invincible in the same realm?

Haah!

Just then they heard a soft shout and turned to look toward Haory with a pale face. However, seeing the attack she conjured, they sighed in relief.
