Chapter 260 Pay double the price
Max looked at him with a cold sneer on his face and raised his hand.
Whizz~!
A fireball, half a ter in size, appeared above his hand.
"A dead man doesn't need to know this," Max said in a colder voice than ice.
The middle-aged man, whose expression had traces of fear until now, suddenly revealed a cruel smile and laughed, "Hehe, It seems you have exhausted your three-star Mana."
As an experienced three-star mage, the mont Max attacked him, he realized that although Max's spell was monstrous and was cast with three-star Mana, he, himself, was only a two-star mage who happened to have enhanced so of his Mana to the next level.
Whizz1! Whizz!
Suddenly, the dark energy started pouring out of him and enveloped his body. The middle-aged man then sneered, "Although fire and lightning elent is the bane of my demonic energy, do you think that this puny two-star Mana-filled fireball can do any damage to-"
Seeing this scene, Max frowned. He had noticed that this man was trying to buy so ti to attack. Therefore, without hesitation, he hurled the fireball toward him, "Let's see if what you say is true or not."
"You brat… ahhhh! Bastard! How can you have such a high concentration of elental fire? Ahhh!" Seeing Max's actions, the middle-aged man had a disdainful expression.
However, he couldn't complete his statent, and suddenly his expression froze when the fireball landed on his demonic energy shield and destroyed it. After that, it continued falling on his body, causing him to let out pained screams.
Max's expression eased after hearing his screams, and then he threw a few more fireballs and turned him to ashes.
After he died, Max's eyes returned to normal as his anger subsided.
"Mm?" Just when he was about to turn around to go and check Rima's condition, he noticed sothing in the ashes.
He extended his hand and picked it up. It was a ring. "Hm? It didn't lt?" Max was slightly surprised.
Suddenly he realized sothing and dripped a drop of blood on it.
Weng!
The ring trembled slightly, causing Max's expression to brighten, and he quickly inspected it with his sense.
"Spatial ring!" He exclaid. This was a spatial ring, an advanced version of spatial bags, and had the space size of a small room.
He then turned around and went toward the corner where Rima was. His heart couldn't help but ache in pain after seeing her current condition.
Belen, who was feeding Rima her life potion, noticed Max's arrival and looked at him with a sad expression.
Seeing her expression, Max's heart tightened. Ever since he t her, Belen always seed to see everything with a calm attitude, and her expression had barely changed. However, now she had such a face ant that situation wasn't looking good.
"B-Belen. What is it?" Asked Max, his voice trembling.
"She had lost almost all of her blood and vitality. Even this life potion can't help her. If we want to save her, we need to give her a grade four vitality pill." She sighed and broke the news to him.
She then continued, "Unfortunately, this pill is rare like any other grade four pill, and there is only a slight possibility for it to be found in the academy or the rchant hall."
"Let's hurry up and return to the academy. I'll ask soone to lend the required Mana stones to buy this pill." Max hurriedly went toward her and was about to pick her up when Belen did sothing that caused him to freeze on the spot.
Belen shook her head and sighed, "It'll take us at least four-five days at our fastest speed to return to the academy. I'm afraid she can't last that long."
Hearing this, Max stood rooted on the spot and didn't say anything for a while. Then he heaved a deep breath and asked, "How much ti she has?"
"Half a day at most," Belen said.
"What?" Leticia, who had been helping the elves and others in the distance, approached them. Her face went pale when she heard their conversation, and tears started pouring out. She was clearly unable to bear this, unlike Belen.
…
After a while of shock, Max cald down, but his eyes had beco wet as he asked the system in a whisper, "System. Is there a grade four vitality pill in the system shop?"
[Sigh, yes, host. There is.] The system replied with a sigh.
"I want that. I'll pay the required Lust points later." He said in a determined tone.
The system went silent after hearing his request. Max's heart started beating faster because of this silence. Although he knew that the chances of the system agreeing with him were actually low, it was his only hope of saving Rima now.
After a while, the system finally spoke, [Are you sure you want that? There is only one pill in the system shop, and you might need it in the future.]
Hearing this, Max's eyes shone brightly, and he imdiately said, "Yes, I'm sure."
[Since you are determined, I can give you the pill, but you would need to pay double the Lust points required to unlock this pill which is 800,000.] System said.
The price stupefied Max, but without any hesitation, he nodded, "Okay. I'll do that."
[The pill has been stored in your inventory host.] System voice sounded once again.
Max hurriedly opened the inventory, and indeed, a golden pill was stored in there.
With a thought, the golden pill appeared in his hand. Only then he heaved a sigh of relief.
When Max was talking to the system, Belen noticed him muttering to himself, and then after a while, his expression beca free of worries which caused her to be puzzled. Shouldn't he be worried the most since Rima was his woman?
Whoosh!
Max sat beside Rima, gently raised her head slightly, and put the pill in her mouth. After that, he used his Mana to help her digest it.
