Strongest Mage with the Lust system

Chapter 133 Fighting Eight Eyed Spider

Rustle! Rustle!

Leticia was confused by his sudden action. However, before she could ask him anything, she also heard the rustling sounds coming from the forest, and it seemed like something was rapidly coming toward them.

*Whoosh*

Before Leticia could react, a two-meter tall black spider with eight eyes and a dozen long metal-like legs came into her view.

Max reacted the moment the spider showed itself and threw two fireballs at it, which he had already prepared.

ʼʼAh-”

Leticia cried out in horror after seeing the dangerous-looking spider appear a fifty meters away from them.

Boom! Boom!

The spider was caught off guard, and both fireballs landed on its body, one on its eyes while the other on its belly, where a few of its legs were attached and exploded.

”Kerrrrr–”

The spider cried out painfully as four of its eyes and three legs were destroyed by the fireballs. 

Seeing this scene, Leticia was dazed. She knew that his fireball spell was powerful, and he also has very high agility and strength. However, knowing that something was going to attack them beforehand, she could only be amazed by his super senses.

ʼEven though we both are initial stage two-star mages, Iʼm nothing compared to him.ʼ She sighed inwardly before becoming excited. ʼI canʼt believe I gave my first to such an amazing man.ʼ 

However, she didnʼt dwell in her excitement anymore and hurriedly stimulated her mana and began casting her spell.

Although she was physically drained of energy, her mana reserves were still at their maximum capacity.

”Kurrarrrr...”

The spider let out a high-pitched sound in anger. Max and Leticia felt their ears ringing. Although this sound attack wasnʼt anything comparable to Rimaʼs sonic spell, it still affected their minds.

The spider moved its remaining nine legs rapidly and closed the fifty-meter distance. When Max collected his thoughts after being stunned for less than a second, the spider was already in front of him, attacking with two of its long black legs that were as sharp as lances.

”Fuck.” Max cursed and quickly jumped back.

Bang-

The place where he was standing previously was pierced by its metal-like legs creating two small craters.

Max rejoiced that his agility was at 50 points and that he could utilise it to the limits.

Swish! Swish!

Seeing that its attack failed to kill the insect in front of it, the spider opened its mouth and spewed out a yellowish web toward him in order to restrict his moments before killing him.

Max knew that these spider type beasts were dangerous because of their web. If someone were caught in the web, they would be killed easily.

He quickly conjured a fireball with fifty points and threw it at the incoming web.

Siiii~

The web was brunt with ease by his fireballs, and Max retreated to put some distance between them.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

The Spider didnʼt let him do as he wished and chased after him while attacking him with its legs.

Sometimes it would spew out webs trying to capture him, but Max would always but them down mid-air.

Meanwhile, Leticia has cast her [Wind bullets] spell, and three wind spherical end bullets hovered around her.

After she aimed properly, her wind bullets shot toward the giant spider at insane speed and struck three of its hind legs, producing clanking sounds as if they had struck metal.

”Krrur!”

The Spiderʼs legs got slightly injured by her wind bullets, and it became even more furious.

”What? My spell can only damage it this much.” Leticia was dumbfounded.

Max also was surprised as he knew that her wind bullets had high penetration power, but even then, they could only injure its legs a bit.

ʼAre all beasts have such high defences?ʼ He wondered before shaking his head. Although beasts indeed have high defences compared to humans, not every beast has such high defences as this spider and the ape they encountered before.

He then suddenly realised something ʼThis spider is vulnerable to my fire spells.ʼ If not, he couldnʼt have injured it as much as he did with his fireballs even after he took it off guard.

Swish!

The spider shot out a web towards Leticia in anger, who was on the ground, completely defenceless.

Max shouted at Leticia while burning down the web with a fireball, ”Focus on protecting yourself first and if you can, try distracting it from a distance.”

”O-Okay.” Leticia nodded. She knew that she would only be a burden in her current condition. She covered herself in the wind elemental mana, making her body lighter and stood and walked away, however, not before taking her clothes with her.

After hiding behind a tree, more than fifty meters away from the spider, she started throwing wind blades at the spider in order to distract it and give Max a chance to deal a heavy blow to it.

However, the spider seemed to have some intelligence, and it let her wind blades collide with its body as these wind blades werenʼt even half as powerful as her wind bullets.

It continued attacking Max with its long and sharp legs while nimbly dodging his fireballs.

Max opened his status screen and checked his mana.

[Mana: 920/2031]

Seeing that he still had 900+ mana remaining, he took deep a breath and conjured a fifty mana point fireball, and after dodging its strike once more, he threw it at the spiderʼs head.

Swish! 

The spider quickly ducked its head down and stopped attacking him for a second.

Max took the opportunity and retreated. When the spider wanted to chase after him, he threw one more fireball at him, forcing it to dodge and halt its advance for another second.

Thanks to his high agility, he was able to move one hundred meters away from it, entering the forest.

*Kurrr*

The spider cried, thinking that he was running away and gave chase, completely ignoring Leticia. It first wanted to kill Max, who injured it.

Just as he was a hundred meters away from the spider, he stopped and started casting his new spell [Death Rain] while consuming more than six hundred mana points in the process.

A few dozen half-meter-long fire arrows started materialising above him, radiating intense heat.

Pat! Pat! Pat! Pat!

The eight-eyed spider came running towards him, and seeing that he had stopped running, it raised its leg, intent on piercing him.

However, it suddenly stopped in its tracks after feeling the heat from above and raised its insect head to look at the source.

Its four undamaged eyes widened and became panic-stricken seeing dozens of half a meter long fire arrows hovering in the air pointing toward it.

”Letʼs see if you also have regeneration ability like that ape.” A pale-faced Max smirked upon seeing the panic in its eyes.

However, he was also worried about the fact that maybe this spide would survive this attack. If it did, he and Leticia would definitely be killed by it because his mana would be gone after this spell, and Leticia alone couldnʼt kill it.

The spider looked at him with a murderous look and once again dashed toward him to kill him before the arrows could attack it.
